Not watched it as at 2 hours the premiere is about 1 hr 58 minutes longer than my attention span but it might be worth keeping an eye on. 10 people in a house for 7 days with a $1m prize.

3 minutes and 30 seconds in and I’m already not sold on the fact that it’s influencers and reality TV rejects. It’s a decent concept but I’d be much more inclined to watch if it was a group of fresh faced nobodies.

So relatable. People post a youtube link and I'm like "four minutes? I ain't got no time for that!"

It's when you Google "how to" do something and get a selection of 15 minute YouTube videos rather than one three step WikiHow guide.

ikr? That absolutely shits me to tears. And you know it's because those videos are monetised and they don't get paid unless people watch them for a certain amount of time. I just scroll down on google to find the bullet point answers.
 
Kinda funny that it's coming from Banijay, who (long before the merger with Endemol) were once producing their own Big Brother rip-off in France in 2010: Dilemme. Back then, Endemol won an initial lawsuit, but the ruling was later overturned by the Court of Appeal. It still killed the format though.. at least until now, since Endemol will produce a Portuguese version, which will launch in two weeks and fill the gap between their current season of Big Brother and the rebooted Secret Story.
 
Interesting - I quite liked Dilemme at the time and thought it had a greater point of difference than some shows that they didn't sue. Was complete trash, but unashamedly so.
 
You all are funny... I ain't got no time for a 15 minute video, but I can't wait for 24 hour live feeds for bb house!

I saw a meme on Facebook last year from a Small Business page about how we are quite happy to drop a thousand bucks on the latest iPhone from Apple but whenever a friend or family member starts a small business offering an a hundred dollar product we are so quick to tell them its too expensive.
