I wonder what Kerry is like to work for.

My sister is very similar to Kerry and is also a manager in the public sector. I got a temp job in one of the departments under her and she was hated. She thought she was the dog's bollocks as everyone was nice to her face because they knew how vindictive she was. They couldn't believe it when I told them who I was as I'm relatively normal. I was surprised they didn't know as we're like twins.

pumpkintits · 21/10/2023 13:33

Just marking my place so I can find the thread! I've just been watching the normal shows, not the live ones or interviews. I struggle to watch every day as it is so have to catch up when working from home!

Really not an AJ fan, she's a crap presenter, especially during the live show yesterday

Haggisfish3 · 21/10/2023 13:42

indibt think an was great either. Loving bb this year though.

WetWindyandWild · 21/10/2023 13:59

Hopefully having heard the chants everybody will nominate Kerry this week.

Same here. It was so much easier when I was a student in the 2000s!

I think that's why the production allowed a little chanting to be heard. Similar with the odd "Love you Jordan!".

I quite like the fact punishments, they're funny.

TinselAngel · 21/10/2023 14:24

That should have said "daft punishments"!

lollipoprainbow · 21/10/2023 14:33

Loving it apart from the presenters who are out of their depth. Why wasn't rylan asked? He's openly admitted he would have loved it.

Mouldyfoodhelp · 21/10/2023 15:08

I think the punishments provide entertainment or at least the chance for it, but I also think that's a bit problematic for a punishment. Hallie essentially has another clip for a highlight reel where people can say she's entertaining when comparing to another HM which could impact her positively in the show. The same could be said about the jail punishment with Olivia for some finding the whining about being in the rain funny.

TinselAngel · 21/10/2023 15:31

I like the way that in the finest BB tradition they're mildly humiliating the contestants in a comedy way, eg the punishment board and the takeaway delivery on the tiny bikes

Just to expand on a couple of vignettes re Kerry on the live feed last night. I know there are a few of us watch live feed so please fill in any blanks or correct me if I've misremembered.

Yinrun was in the mezzanine room talking to Matty and I think Trish and Jordan were there. She was talking about when she was upset earlier in the week about being ignored and went on to say that it was Kerry that was involved. Apparently she'd gone to chat to Kerry and was taken aback that Kerry knew absolutely northing about her [Yinrun] at all, asking things like was she a student and when would she graduate. Matty responded immediately with a whole list of stuff that HMs know about Yinrun [graduated last year, works in Harrogate etc].

Kerry was sitting talking to Dylan as he was preparing to dish up food. Missed her question - something about how you talk to people in nomination/eviction scenarios. He replied that once people have been nominated then you don't think about it at all, it's solely down to the public, out of our hands etc and that's it. Kerry's reply was, 'Oh. I'm playing this all wrong.'

A few of us have said we've worked with people like Kerry. In particular she reminds me of one colleague who at office functions would always be looking over your shoulder while chatting with you to see if there was anyone more important around.

Writing a comment as not to lose the thread 😁

I'm always behind and just watch the main show too but it doesn't show the exit interview which is annoying.

I'm enjoying the old school tasks and punishments and just seeing the relationships forming.

I wonder what the ratings are like.

JaneJeffer · 21/10/2023 16:53

And what has AJ done to herself? She looks completely different but I can't figure it out.

Apparently 3.6 million watched the launch compared to 1.3 million who watched the launch of Love Island.

JaneJeffer · 21/10/2023 18:59

That's interesting @MrTiddlesTheCat probably a lot of nostalgia viewers!

Needanewname44 · 21/10/2023 19:02

Thanks for the updates on live feed! Also, place marking. Wish there was a Saturday show!

Rollergirl11 · 21/10/2023 19:15

I watched Zak’s interview on the Late & Live program today. I actually like Zak and I’m quite sad to see him go. I don’t usually watch this program. Agree with others that the presenters really aren’t very good. AJ is absolutely gorgeous but isn’t a natural. She fluffs her lines quite a bit and doesn’t seem able to fill a silence. Will is better and seems to be picking up the slack left by AJ. Was quite surprised that didn’t seem like much love for Dylan amongst the guests.

Sheisready · 21/10/2023 20:17

Really? That surprises me too.

Presenters are awful, but especially awful at the interviews. Seem completely unable to respond to what the interviewee says. So it goes - they ask a question, interviewee answers, theyy get all awkward, say something stupid and then ask the next scripted question. No fluidity at all to it.

I wonder if thats why they moved he interviews to the late programe, producers realised they were awful and are hoping that not as many people watch...

Marking my place!

Fitz1987 · 22/10/2023 07:57

Place marking here.
I have no one IRL to discuss bb with and I'm really enjoying reading this thread. Currently on maternity leave so I usually watch the following morning but I've usually read the thread before hand anyway as I find it as interesting as the show!
Also can't stand Kerry but I think that's the general consensus. Would have preferred Henry to go as Zak was causing a stir unintentionally and I liked how he stood up for himself with Kerry.
