Who is ready for the final Big Brother UK launch on Channel 5?

HERE WE GO GIRLIES

It's strange, in a way I feel like there should have been a break of a few years after Ultimate Big Brother before it kicked off on Channel 5 rather than the break it's (in all likelihood) going to get after this series so that people could have had the chance to miss it before it came back and ultimately I think at the very least the format needs

resting for a few years before it comes back, if the appetite is there.

 

IDK if it's because I've recently watched

about the downfall of another groundbreaking TV show as well as the documentary C4 made before the final series of Big Brother in 2011 (although it's not available on YT in the UK so you'll have to go ~extra curricular~ to unblock it) I've been thinking about Big Brother and how its place has changed in the TV landscape. In a way, like the linked video argues that The Simpsons was so rooted in the culture of the 1990s, Big Brother feels to me like that equivalent programme for the 2000s - at least in Britain. Like, Big Brother was part of what started the "15 minutes of fame" celebrity obsessed culture that has now come so far full circle that there isn't really an appetite for reality shows that don't feature people who are already "famous" to some extent - see The X Factor probably ending in 2019 (okay maybe that's a reach) - and it's also grown up alongside that astronomical rise in visibility and acceptance of LGBTQ people - I mean it had a trans winner back in 2004 before "transgender" was even the word that most people used rather than "transsexual". And now that it seems like it's ending for good, that's what I think the question needs to be before it comes back, what does Big Brother have to say about society and what is it's USP in the TV landscape in the 2020s (which will be here soon, eek!). Maybe that question will begin to be answered tonight?

Hopefully the ratings go up by loads as it's the last one and then another channel is gagging :lol: Here we go *.*

:angel: :kink:

First time in ages *.* LETS GO

It's on for 53 days

I hope all the stuff that was in the intro there lives up to the expectations!

Loving these nods to the past, will be interesting spotting all of them. Ready to be distracted from what’s actually happening :lol:

This is the first time I'm seeing the house or housemates, looking very promising!

Already hate him! :lol:

Who cried at Emma’s words at the start?
