This is Big Brother. Please swear as much as you like here

[TellingBone]

Launch show tonight 9:00pm on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX. I understand that housemates actually entered the house last night and that part was recorded.

Broadcasts will be at the same time nightly, followed six nights per week by Late and Live, and then a live stream after that on ITVX.

Bring it

I haven't noticed it to be honest.

Just caught up, hate not being able to skip the ads on ITVX.

I like pretty much all of the inmates. I've watched at least the beginnings of each BB series since they began. In the last few years though I've given up after the first 2-3 episodes as the contestants were unbearable. This series has made me laugh a few times just through their normal chitchat, unlike the fake Love Island conversations.

I like Jordan. Is he actually posh or was he joking about being from a council estate from Scunthorpe? His humour is so dry that it's hard to tell!

Oh wow, I’ve been deleted! I’ll have to check the email when I get home to find out why

He's definitely from Scunthorpe, not sure about the council estate... But then he's a lawyer and wants to rent in Kensington with the money... Perhaps he's just very 'aspirational'

I love the posh boys!

I've just caught up
The hallie conversation was fine in terms of Faridas questions but I wasn't sure if Hallie is arrogant or delusional or naive in her responses. How can she say with any confidence men "dont worry about that stuff" anymore - of course they do.

Though now I know Farida is a serial TV tart have lost all interest in her. Other than that Don't have opinions on any of them yet and very wary of the editing - need more livestream access.

I think the conversation with farida and hallie was uncomfortable...

Im not actually a fan of hallie, and find her annoying, but although shes been open with being trans and encouraged questions to a certain extent, shes been very clear with stating she has never had a relationship, never had sex etc, so it appears to be something she doesnt want to discuss.

Anybody picking up on these cues would have picked up on that and not delved into the ins and outs of how trans works within physical relationships, but Farida seemed oblivious to this, so ended up being insensitive.

I actually think Hallie handled it all pretty well considering her age, she probably felt a bit blindsided by the questioning, which tbh didnt feel very sensitively done, and felt a bit nosey...

Loving this year though, and its great because dp will watch it with me, he hated love island 😂

I agree I think Hallie handled it well, I'm also not convinced Farida is as innocent as she seems but hope i'm proved wrong.

(Not a clue why my post was deleted).

I'm watching the rest of the episode. I think Hallie handled it well, and I'm taking Farida's curiosity/ignorance at face value for now.
I think there are some annoyingly loud and intrusive voices - Olivia, Farida, Jenkin etc.

Yeah, if some woman my mum's age had started asking me about sex and stuff at 18 I'd have died of embarrassment.

@Figgygal

What has Farida been on before to be a “Telly Tart”?

i saw Kelly won on Deal or no Deal.

Shes been on Blankety blank and come dine with me

It isnt just a random woman in the supermarket queue asking questions. They all volunteered to go into the Big Brother house. You have to be prepared to be asked intrusive questions

Was Henry the tory?

Kelly enjoying this a little bit too much 😂 middle management has gone to her head

Hallie trying a bit too hard to be the big personality in the house. People soon get tired of that shit.

Jordan's hat 😂😂

Jordan in his hat has really tickled me 🤣🤣

Jordan putting the hat on and saying 'it's heavy....like the burden of being the fire marshal' 😂

He properly tickles me.

This feels like an old school BB task. Good stuff. Definitely going to cause arguments with the power imbalance. Natural rebels can't help but defy authority even if it's to their own detriment (ie will result in low shopping budget). And it's basic human psychology that you give people a position of power and they may abuse it. Brilliant recipe for disaster.

Loving Jordan

Jordan’s fire safety helmet 🚨🤣

Loving it tonight - hilarious!
