I did enjoy the first show, but it didn't have as much big launch excitement feel to it that previous opening shows used to. I don't think it's just the fact it wasn't live though, it just felt quite rushed, I think the first HM was in the house within 5 minutes of the show starting.
Why no house tour? I'm sure they could have still filmed a walk round the house.
Also the chat with each HM seemed very short and rushed as well, don't get me wrong I don't want a 10 minute sit down interview with each HM but it felt like they were almost shoving them into the house.

Also seemed off when they switched to having the HM arrive and enter the house before showing their VT.

I still enjoyed it though, loved Will and AJ, and the house is amazing. Shame the garden couldn't have been bigger though, when they all went outside you realise how small it is.

Regarding the housemates, it feels like they've tried to focus too much on big personalities, probably knowing it will cause more clashes and drama. Hopefully once the HMs settle in and act more themselves it will be okay though.

Late and Live felt a bit meh. I was never a huge fan of the spin off shows anyway and hopefully once we've seen more shows and they have more content to discuss it will improve.
