I'm surprised ITV2 are having a nightly spin-off given how these sorts of shows seem a thing of the past. As Brekkie says, I've have had more investment in either full live stream or an enhanced online experience.

After that Comic Relief doco earlier this year I went down a Big Brother rabbit hole and was reminded of how much better the eviction shows were in the first series when they were packed with features that were ultimately spun-off into BBLB from the following year. Once all that stuff had disappeared from the eviction shows Davina was left with nothing much to do but read out phone numbers.

Absolutely - that was the case for the first four years really, though BB3 and BB4 scaled back slightly on the features in favour of more highlights but they were still there. Short highlights were sufficient though because the week was planned so that nothing much happened format wise on a Thursday - and indeed practically it gave production and indeed the HMs a bit more of a chilled day ahead of the big events of Friday night.

Indeed watching some of the early half hour daily shows just highlights how more time doesn't mean more action - I felt you got a better snapshot of what was happening in the house than you did in some of the later hour-long shows.

Davina also interacted with the crowd much more when the show was studio based, speaking to people within the crowd at points during the show. Once eviction shows were switched to outside she just talked at them really. I also liked the focus on friends and family in the early years too - both on eviction night and on BBLB. The housemates were treated as people back then, rather than just as characters as seemed the case in later years.

There's an announcement tonight during Love Island. Probably be the eye reveal.

EDIT: Here it is.

Looking forward to what it means by takeover of "all ITV channels". Presume it will be similar to this:

Hate to break it to you all, but I think it might be a joke tweet cos the tweeter does that to get people's attention.

And the CBS EYE logo is dead in the centre. Try to un-see that.

CBS called.

Edit: Also the background is the old ITV2 logo.
