It's been 4 years away in regards to this place, I know, but it's time to give another ITV series a whirl
Who will follow in Jordan and Ali's footsteps as we welcome in at least 14 new mint fresh housemates for our viewing pleasure on ITV2, the edit decides 😉
Oh boy, what a ride so far in the ITV era, winners liked and disliked in celebrity and civilian alike
Sorry for the absence, my heart went out of the North American version and felt that this place wasn't taking off as well as I hoped so I stopped until now, but I hear the VIP series from Australia wasn't all that good anyway. In that time Canada's version has been cancelled, and the call goes on on social media to reinstate it, while down under Australia's has been reinstated with all it's bells and whistles that made it great when it was in it's pomp. Hopefully I will be writing about that, but have been keeping busy with social activities in the meantime, and other things.....
To say 2024 and 2025 have been busy would be a bit of an understatement. March 2024 saw my old gran pass away, and then almost immediately in April of the same year it was her funeral and cremation, and was a long journey to scatter her ashes but finally it got done in August of this year and she got her wish of being scattered at sea. That first Christmas without her was difficult, I still miss her to this day.
As for the social stuff, have been getting out a lot more than I have with various autism groups in regards to advice in Cardiff, and social activities. Wellbeing walks, social drop ins, attending poetry and music open mic nights... That sort of thing. I am struggling with communication though, and this coming week I do start an intensive course of meetings in terms of my hoarding issues. It's been a long time coming, and I hate using the word intensive, as I get enough of that when I go for work search reviews with Universal Credit, but as the old saying goes, 'for lack of a better word'
Anyway, back to BBUK, and we have the house pics in, and must say not bad and final look at the tidy house and garden before the inmates get in there and everything is strewn about the place
Pictures here and here, with thanks to Supertv and Big Blagger. Oh yes, there is a spoiler warning in place for those who want to wait for this Sunday's launch.
Thankfully some live feed in the ITV era, and not the paltry 30 minutes we would get in the dark second era. A whole 3 hours after the spin off, and 5 hours on a Saturday and yes for those that know me on the Digital Spy forum, more specifically the Big Brother section, there will be WHATM threads (What's Happening At the Moment). WHATM has been going since the early days of that forum, still fun to this day, but I just wish the birdsong and stock footage was less in this third era so we can at least get to know them properly, and form our own opinions without being told who to like or dislike by the edit and sideshow with what we can watch and listen to live when two certain buttons are not being pushed.
I know they have to switch the birds and SF on to protect their friends and loved ones outside, and in all due respect there is less outside contact apart from letting the crowd shout to get someone out on eviction nights which is comforting, when Five would be chucking in their F and F and celebrities who would be telling them everything about the outside. Let's not forget that irritating WOOP WOOP as well, which has been a staple of the show since the dark second era unfortunately. I know it's not hurting anyone, but personally I would love to see the back of it.
I hear AJ it will be really twisty this series or WTTE. but PLEASE can we actually get to know them, as we used to in the early days before throwing them into the meat grinder with these never ending twists. I get there HAS to be an opening night twist otherwise the launch would be seen as 'boring' to some, just let us form some impressions here and there without the bird song or catalogues and just letting them breathe, but then again there is the usual pointless task a day for the highlights.
Anyway, fingers crossed this upcoming series is talked about for the right reasons, mega twists or not, and we get some long awaited LOL or WTF moments (for the right reasons of course) in the ITV era
Will see how this series goes, as it is going to be clashing with MAFS and Celebrity Traitors, hopefully lots of writing to come when there is time...
Shout out to BB on Blast, who will be doing their usual sterling work when it comes to english speaking Big Brother, listen right here as they cover this series of BBUS and then BBUK
In the meantime, enjoy what time there is before launch with Strictly Come Dancing proper starting this Saturday if you watch that, and as always keep on rocking.....
