Dare I ask if anyone is going to be watching?

I have to say it's one of my guilty pleasures, very interested to see what this reboot will be like.

I wasn’t aware it was coming back!

Like a lot or people I watched the first few series, but then my interest tailed off as the contestants became more like ridiculous and Z list wannabes. That said, I enjoy the launch night, just to see what car crash contestants they have in store smile

I'll tune in to see what it's like, but I have a feeling it won't be the same. It will either be full of social media influencers or people trying to create careers as one.

According to The Mail it's "woke" Big Brother this time.

Though that seems mainly to be to do with trying to make it kinder and stopping possible suicides.

I hope it’s just normal people, which I would find far more entertaining. Unfortunately there is a trend now to cater for the lowest common denominator with reality shows, and fill them with vacuous wannabes who want to become Instagram influencers, rather than just get a proper job.

I used to really like the original MAFS before they Australianified it and filled it with tosswers.

I may have misheard that the classic Paul Oakenfold theme tune is being replaced with the sound of a barrel being scraped.

The first season was the only one worth a candle, IMO.

No one knew the format, least of all the contestants. After that, every lunatic and his mother applied for a place.

Having said that, a good friend's rather eccentric mother applied for the final season. She had six or seven interviews with the production company, including one (or, possibly two) with a psychotherapist and was offered a place on the show.

Her family were dead against her participating. In the end she turned the offer down.

Hate BB yet always end up watching the series.

So far - no 1 is annoying, no 2 - err confusing a Welsh accent with Scotlad or Ireland say it all, no 3 - seems older than 18.

Can't get any worse. Can it?
