Thoughts on the staging of the final

Free Thinking

Just a few thoughts on the staging of the final.

I like it when McCall has a few words with the ex-HMs before they go and sit down, nothing this time. Also I like to see the ex-HMs meeting some of the evictees or more of their reactions to things. Instead we only saw them when specifically mentioned in interviews.

Also I didn't really like music being played when an evicted HM was evicted. It just seems tacky, I hope that's not the way this program goes in the future.

Then Vinnie wearing sunglasses at his interview. It has been seen before with Dennis Rodman. I suppose this is the disadvantage of the Celebrity version, they can put things into their contracts which mean they can miss shows after eviction or get special dispensation over certain things. It's not really in the spirit of the show to have someone hiding behind sunglasses.

Then the fireworks. Is it only me or did there seem to fewer this time? There were lots on the walls, but nothing really up into the sky.

I agree. I thought that was rude. Bad manners.

(But I also think a lot of his "bold front" is to cover up insecurities)

There was quite a negative reaction from an element of the ex-housemates gallery following Rachel winning BB9. However, is it the case that we now have a cheaper production, so perhaps less external camera options?

Well the future is this summer, but I expect Big Brother to continue somewhere beyond that as well.

Yeh the production is cheaper now I suppose. But they did have a camera up to where the ex-HMs were as they sometimes went to it. And if you get negative reactions well that's all part of the show, though maybe Endemol would like to control that like they seem to have increasingly wanted to control and manipulate everything.

Oh and another thing ...we should see the evictees reaction to their best bits as well instead of showing it while they are going to the stage. If something ain't broke don't fix it, I wish Endemol would learn that. At least they went back to the one on one interview this time.

Davina, zeleb and a psychologist was a ghastly combination.

I love the music when the hm's are bing evicted.

FABULOUS.Think it is very appropriate and evocative. I cried when they played 'Rocky' for Alex.

I don't see the point of the music. It's supposed to be a big enough moment as it is without some artificial means to try and make it more exciting.

Is it true that Alex entered the house with Against All Odds being played? If so, i hope the winner of BB11 is not going to be pre-selected!

Well I for one think all the fireworks are a waste of money which could be used much more sensibly for charity etc... % of the money from the phone votes were going to the Haiti fund which was probably all spent on the fireworks anyway...

This is always my grip every new year - so much money wasted when we're in a recession and all those 1000's of pounds could be spent on much more worthy things!

I agree that Vinnie wearing his dark glasses was rude and unnecessary and whilst the music thing was quite funny it did seem a bit tacky too. I did laugh when Rocky was played when Alex was evicted however

I think the music was so that Vinnie (and his family) couldn't hear how many boos he had!!

I thought that too Moomin, the music was really loud when he came out, to drown out all the boos.

Agreed, and they thought it would stand out if they played music just for him so they played it when all the finalists came out!!

I liked the music.....especially Steph's Dynasty tune when she sashayed out of the house....that was some exit.
As for the fireworks...well you have to have something to make the winner's exit special, or their exit would be the same as everyone else's.

I always find the exit interviews boring...they're out, so bye bye. That's the time I take a loo break or make a cuppa.
