I stayed with it as long as I could on E4. Better coverage on here than the official C4 site too!
The live coverage ended at 6.30am, so I've nothing to watch right now.
It was mainly the guests (they're not all HM's blah-de-blah...) telling the rest who they were and what they did for a living. The idea to have a speakers mug was put forward by Angel after Sree suggested the introductions. Some went on for a lot more than the allotted minute, and sound cuts all over the place as BB stopped us hearing the more personal bits.
The four HM's enjoyed a treat of strawberries and champagne in the bedroom, but kept going back to the other room to be more sociable. Nobody had gone to bed by the time I did.
Those 4 had their suitcases in the bedroom but, unlike previous years, they didn't have nametags on, so they had to look for something else to figure out which was which. Kris helped Lisa push hers to her bedside and she commented that there were times she needed a big strong man.
In the bedroom, later on, Rodrigo had quite a conversation with Lisa about clothing, they both like bright colours and they were agreeing to swap things from boxer shorts to nightwear. Yes, Lisa has brought at least 3 pairs of male boxer shorts in. She says she likes mens clothing, so there's one cross-dresser so far this year...
Most of the guests seemed to accept that the bare room was 'it' for them and were looking to make the best of it in their uniforms, wrapped in their blanket.
A few looks at the big blue container, but nobody really trying to open it or investigate the crates very much. Marcus was using one to prop his head against. The guests seemed to have some small blow-up pillows.
Usual first night stuff really, settling in, figuring out what is what, realising there is no kitchen and that the comfy sofas are nowhere to be seen.
Can't say I was impressed by the extended use of the crate effect in the bedroom, looked too false to me.
On that topic - how many of this year's intake are actors? I have a feeling that they are not all what they make out they are.
Oh well, looks like I have to wait for BB's look back at the first night in the highlights show before I see any more today. I'll not bother with repeats of the launch shows.
I think I'm going to get bored of this year's effort very quickly without being able to watch it during the day. If I find something else to do then who's to say I'll even watch BB...
Yes, I say that for the benefit of the guests we often get on here from Endermol - take note BB, you may be watching the house 24/7 but there are those of us who used to give up a whole summer to do things like this. I'm already bored silly, and it's only day two!
