Theme song and opening sequence

I just feel like they would do really well if they leaned more in to the original 1984 inspiration of big brother, with the photo realistic eye / eyes, like they did through the entire original 10 run. Play in to the “big brother is always watching” vibe. This modern eye just does nothing for me, and is actually triggering for the 9 / 7 era.

Well they did revert to a new version of the original eye until about a week before this launched. Must be a Banijay requirement. I suppose at least they kept it kinda?

I agree. The OG eye is better.

True. I feel like they added the newer eye last minute to try to appeal to those that enjoyed the 9 era.

I know there are plenty that are only aware of the nine era, especially the younger generations. I’ve said to people “I’m a big brother tragic” and they’re like “oh I love Drew and Tully!”… like that ain’t it.

You’re probably not wrong, but in my eyes that’s a super trivial change to make. I think people know the title “Big Brother” - if they thought adding that CG line art was what it took to draw in more viewers… I’m lost for words. Using original branding would’ve never turned away younger viewers, but more than likely would’ve pulled in older OG viewers.

But by adding this newer eye they’re getting g the best of both worlds.

Despite the fact that it looks fug

Still very much doubt that. If there was a requirement, they'd surely push for one that is shaped like their official logo with the shifted eye pieces. Plus, when Spain brought back the civilian version last year after, they've used a modernized version of their original logo as well (instead of using any of the eye of aesthetics that they've used on the celebrity versions in the last couple of years)

I stand corrected. It was actually a conscious decision by the Australian producers at the last minute… bodes well for the show then.
