HYPED!! Really excited to see where they go this year, especially with it being the show's 25th anniversary.

I hope it is that they're actually bringing more gameplay elements into it akin to BBUS to actually change the game and not just something stupid like a fun fair theme with a few games on launch night lol x

Not on itv 1 anymore?

Yeah this is also what I worry about, they’re really annoying for teasing that it will be something huge and it’s just worse a first eviction twist or a launch night thing that comes and goes and means nothing. Even if it’s just a one off for this series to see how it goes I’d like to see it be more of a game and not just the same old Big Brother, I think the show has limited time left if it keeps everything the same.

Some more games would be nice but for me its really down to the casting as you just need that good mixture in there for it to work and of course you need the drama when the groups form and are pitted against each other, i am looking forward to its return i have to say,

So hoping we dont get a repeat of last year. The 2023 cast was so elite, they've been hard to top but the 2024 cast were just bad. Hope they got a better line up.

It starts a week today!

Launch show live on ITV2 at 9 and then repeated on ITV at 10:15pm for some reason.

Im starting to worry as it usually airs on Virgin TV here in Ireland, and ive looked it up and its saying it will air again this year starting on Sunday but its not appearing on any of the listings.

While i can get itvx i cant record and due to work etc it would mean i would miss half of it.

Please come through Virgini tv or i will be gutted.

I saw on Twitter earlier people complaining about this and a reply from Virgin TV saying they won't be airing it to 'make way for new shows'.

Is it not possible to watch it at your leisure on itv x?

AJ teases a launch night twist that has never been done before in the history of the show!! Hopefully it’s a good’un.

(Hopefully it’s an immediate HOH competition )

I really hope it's actually something big and exciting for once rather than a lame ass twist that they always do on first night

Bring it on, this is one of the few TV shows that I love getting stuck into as escapism during the cold, dark Q4 nights.

I found the first ITV series more enjoyable than the second one so fingers crossed that this series is an upward trajectory from the last

The 1st series was so superior that last year's was so lackluster, surely this year is gonna at least be a fun time

I wonder if it might be a proper night one eviction, obviously we had Showbiz before but he did end up coming back. Those are shows brutal, have haplwnwd a few times on American BB but they usually have the chance to come back other than poor Jodi. Or the twist could be just the fact it’s the US format. I just hope it’s not if those lame launch night twists that is ostensibly a bang but does nothing for the show in the end

Fully preparing myself for this twist to be the biggest disappointment ever ngl

Haha same

Remember BB17 when the tag line was The Game Has Changed...

Literally just a house next door (and even worse with Andrew Tate in it)

What is the us format?
