The things he says. I don't mind the voice, I found it cold and clinical at first, but when he starts saying things like :
" Can you show me how you do stretches Angela ",
" It looks like Daniel likes you, maybe you should go and talk to him ",
It just sounds ridiculous. He sounds like a bit of a petal!

Good call. There is a similarity, and obviously the delivery is different.I honestly think the BB voice is the same guy who does the Sunrise intro who is also a Producer on Sunrise. Another cost cutting measure
David Walters is his name
Does anybody have any clips of David talking?
I can’t seem to find any.

I'm not really digging the way that eviction results are announced to the house (among other things *cough* prerecorded *cough*). I think this could have been made more interesting if the total vote count for each nominated housemate was anonymised.
Imagine a scenario where Housemates A, B and C are nominated. Housemate A has 4 points, B 1 point and C 10 points. As it stands, Sonia reveals the number of points given to each nominee by name, with the evicted housemate announced last. After the two safe housemates (A and B) are known, viewers and all the housemates know that Housemate C is going before Sonia has even said their name.
I'd have changed it around so that Sonia reads something along the lines of:
Following this, the Big Brother voice should be the one to tell the housemate with the most votes that they must leave, not Sonia. Big Brother:
I just prefer the idea of the housemates not knowing how the vote was divided between the two safe housemates. Thoughts?

"Housemates A, B, and C, your fellow housemates have voted. One of you has received 4 votes, another received 1 vote. That means, with 10 points, one of you is about to leave. [Short pause]. Housemate C, it's time to go."
Following this, the Big Brother voice should be the one to tell the housemate with the most votes that they must leave, not Sonia. Big Brother:
"Housemate C, you have been evicted. You have one minute to say goodbye and leave the house."

In most cases they will know. But otherwise I agree. It's silly to let them know who's evicted before naming the person as the evictee.

I honestly would have just been happy with "The first housemate to be evicted from the house is....xyz"

Or something like, "With 12 votes, it's time to go..... ".
I like that - a housemate not knowing for sure if they got 1 or 4 votes would be very good and adds an extra level of paranoia. They can also mix it up occassionally as they do in the US by occassionally switching it up to "Housemate B - it's time to stay" before confirming the evictee.

It would be easy. The US version is shot live and is very similar to this format.
The US and CA seasons have been live ever since their inception, I believe? And the format is similar.

They have been. 7 probably went down the pre recorded route because it's cheaper and easier for them to manipulate a narrative.
Absolutely. Also safer for them.
And, as it turned out, was absolutely the best decision due to what ended up happening with covid - otherwise we mightn’t have had it at all.

Hopefully they take more risks next year if the show gets renewed.

To disastrous effect, some might say. They have gotten a bit high on narrative.

I wonder what the gateway drug to "narrative" is? Irony? Sarcasm? Pranking?

Watched the last 2 night’s episodes with headphones, the frankenbyting is getting worse and worse as the days go on.
can’t fucking stand him but Kieran had an entire diary room visit made up with frankenbytes just to suit his hopeless winners edit.
so far it feels like they’re setting up Daniel, Kieran, and Ian as their “winners”
