NIKKI :w00t: :lol: :w00t:

LOL I'd rather watch this than Big Brother. :lol:

ive missed Nikki so much :( :heart:

Whose mikey? :unsure:

The blind one.

Mikey's only fav to win because he's blind, that's not been judged on personality at all.

Whose mikey? :unsure:

 

me :cheer:

 

How orange is Brian Dowling?

Stephanie :w00t:

OMG I loved Kathreya! :wub: Her personality is amazing, she so deserves to win :heart: Either her or the fantastic Sylvia :heehee: It's a shame that Mikey will probably win just on the basis of blindness though...-_-

On first impressions my favourites are Rebecca and Kathreya. :D

 

I will never ever ever watch big brother again if Mikey wins, It will just solidate the fact that you have to have a special feature or disability to do well. -_-

An audience of 5.4m tuned in to see a new batch of contestants enter the Big Brother house last night.

 

The figure, which includes viewing on C4+1, accounted for 25% of the total viewing audience. It is a fall of 800,000 from 2007, when 6.2m (26%) watched the start of Big Brother 8.

 

The first episode of the seventh series attracted 6.9m (30.6%).

 

Channel 4 said last night's show attracted a strong 41% share of viewing among 16- 34-year-olds.

 

Later on, 2.1m (16.5%) watched The Big Brother Launch Night Project at 10.40pm, 382,100 (2.9%) watched E4's live stream from 10.30pm to 11.40pm, and 314,000 (4.9%) saw this year's first Big Brother's Big Mouth at 11.40pm.

 

Angela Jain, commissioning editor for Big Brother and Head of E4, said: "This is a strong start for Big Brother 9 and it's fantastic that over a quarter of everyone watching TV last night tuned in to see the launch.

 

"We remain as committed as ever to making this year's series the most entertaining yet."

c**p start

I read the live feed on MSN. A girl with fake t*ts, lots of fame hungry young girls, gays hugely misrepresnted, lots of omg's squealing and an 'it' girl.

 

:zzz: Same old, same old. No wonder the ratings are down, the show is a load of utter $h!te now, totally devoid of anything original or exciting. With any luck it'll flop completely and then get the axe which is well overdue!

I'd disagree - I think this years bunch are a better selection than the last couple of years, especially last years wannabees.

 

On face value, as you posted, they sound c**p - but if you think of it as politics student, accounts executive and 2 trainee teachers, I think they've got some worthwhile people to balance the airheads out aswell. Sure, Jennifer is a model, but she also seems to have quite a lot going on in her head. Dale and Stephanie seem into themselves, but I expect it's all talk and not much action.

 

The only one I really dislike is Dennis - such a hideous fake cross between Perez Hilton and every gay Big Brother contestant ever. He won't last, because he's so fake.

 

I quite like Rachel, Rex, Jennifer & Cookie Monster.

I would disagree, I think that original and bubbly characters such as Kathreya and Sylvia (after all, when else have we had somebody who mixed style and religion so effortlessly before? :lol:) do prove that Big Brother still has a spark left in it ^_^ However, if Mikey wins then that's pretty much it for BB, even though it's contracted through to 2010 I can't see many people watching if it's perceived that disability can just win it from the outset. And Dennis is vile too :manson: Have they ever thought of getting any normal homosexuals in anytime?

This will probably sound harsh but I wouldn't be surprised if a few of the housemates experience of being in the house will be "ruined" somewhat because they'll feel the need to help Mikey round 24/7 :unsure:

They possibly will - did anyone notice Rachel leading him to meet housemates, then Dennis did later in the launch?? They're obviously going to feel a little like they have to help, but if he's been blind since he was 23 I imagine he can cope pretty well on his own.

 

 

Also - watch this vid from about 1 min in - remind anyone of Dennis? :lol:

I missed it last night, and my sister has deleted it from sky+ because she thought I'd seen it :rolleyes:

 

So can someone tell me whats happened/what the housemates are like etc? :D

Well, I'd hate to influence your opinion (:P) based on mine, so I won't tell you exactly what I think of everyone

 

But I will give you this youtube link with the whole launch on it :D

LOL @ people being negative about it already. How predictable.

 

I think it's been quite good this year, far better mix of people than there was last year. Although having a blind person in it is ridiculous in my opinion but oh well.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

 

Dale - FAB mate of a mate too so he's my fav woo rofl lmao haha. Although I get the feeling he'll do a Mikey-From-BB6 in that his audition was showing how controversial he is, yet he gets in the house and is completely dreary with no opinions on anything whatsoever.

 

Luke - Lives down mine AND NORMA'S enz but my God he's an annoying little prick.

 

Michael - He's won it already. Why stick a disabled person in there? The public are hardly gonna VOTE OUT A BLIND MAN, are they? :manson:

 

Rachel - AMAZING. She's so ridiculously happy and upbeat and is gonna annoy the living daylights out of everyone woo haha.

 

Rebecca - Out. Now. Please. Horrible.

 

Rex - Rubbishy, gayer version of Gordon Ramsay? No thanks.

 

Stephanie - Fit. But vapid.

 

All the rest I have yet to form an opinion on. And can I just say it was a rather good opening night. Better than to be expected anyway. I didn't exactly have HIGH HOPES when I noticed they were springing a couple/double-act in there again but it rescued itself VERY WELL.
