You are not the only one disappointed.

my expectations were/are so very low Moomin..      in my mind its not the big brother we know & love..   its a different show.

It might be called big brother, but in my head its not big brother...  so I am just taking it at face value

I'm thinking similar - I had no high expectations - I'll be watching and waiting but - if I happen to miss it I don't think I'll be gutted!

Im a bit disappointed that Charlie didn't go in.

I'll watch a couple of highlight shows and see how it goes. 

I wasn't even going to bother watching at all Moomin...then got sucked in at the last minute! It is nowhere near as exciting as the old BBs but I never really enjoyed the CBB as you already have opinions on the HMs...well, the ones you have heard of anyway!!!! I shall wait and see what normal BB is like before deciding whether to give up on it!!!!

And Bobby is worth tuning in for!!!

I'm trying to watch it with an open mind, but I don't think I'll mind if I miss it either.. BUT....

I loved last night!   The forum is a huge part of the BB experience for me and I had a great laugh on here and it's good to see the forum buzzing, so in that respect, I'm not disappointed at all.

Good point Kaffy! Was fun here last night...it is the programme around which this forum started after all!!!!

If nothing else it will get you geared up for the original BB that will follow it.

But i did love the CBB's from the past.

"The majority are notable only for who they married or for taking part in other reality shows."

This says it all for me 

That was my initial thought.

"Referring to George Galloway's appearance on the show in 2006, the Guardian live blogger, however, added: "I'm sure we didn't get very excited about George Galloway back in the day, but he turned out to be comedy gold."

I do still have visions of " Will i be the cat" ! 

trouble is I don't know if I can be bothered to watch long enough to see if any of them turn out to be 'comedy gold' 

Pengy 

Its not on that long, although not sure how many days to be exact they are in there. 

I'll give it a few days and we'll see 

I'm not nailing my colours to any doors/camps/boudoirs/teepee's or caravans just yet    *although that Bobby fella is rather easy on the eye* 

Put it this way, I wont be rushing back from the pub to catch it on telly

I'm kind of meh! atm   I might even have to be pished to watch it   *do I confess that I too understand Paddy* 

paddy is the only one making me half interested. I cant wait to see how he interacts with these air heads.

I'm not usually fussed on the Celeb version anyway but I was just excited to see BB back!  I think it started more or less the same as C4 did it and will give it a chance and see how it goes.

Mmmmm, I've decided to positively reframe it: as I've not heard of most of them I can watch and form opinions from an entirely objectively viewpoint, with no preconceived ideas

Thought Brian did well.

I didn't think much of that 'after show' thingy 'though, Alex Reid may be a 'nice bloke' but can hardly string a sentence together, so not really 'panel' material, that stupid woman commenting on 'fashion' was simply not funny or interesting in any way and as for the dog ejaculating 

I expected to be disappointed and I wasn't let down. I find in life it pays to aim low. Except where Charlie is concerned.

Can't see it holding much interest when its only a highlights show for an hour a night. I might watch if nothing else is on but definitely wont be voting.

I was sorely disappointed in the lack of actual celebrities.

Most of that lot would turn out for the opening of an envelope.

The party started and we dont have an invite ,this is BB Soap.I know people who only ever watched BB hl show so for them its no change.I watched the live feed so this is a massive change for me and not the BB i know and love.

that stupid woman commenting on 'fashion' was simply not funny or interesting in any way

You do know that 'SHE' used to be a 'stupid little boy'.

i was also disappointed, i too have watched since the 1st series, have been labelled sad by people, but last night was flat to me.. dowling was a shit presenter, and to think i used to slag davina off.. she was far far better than he was ... no excitement at all

I have to admit that for the first two or three BBs that I watched I only saw the H/Ls.

I didn't know about the LF or even realise C4 had a BB forum back then.
