I've been a Big Brother UK addict since the first series so was delighted to watch the new 2024 series as everything about it has been given the Drip Drip Drip album artwork. From the main dripping eye logo to the walls in the house & the diary room chair is fabulous. Ron & Russell really have to get their hands on it after the show finishes in 4 wks so they can take a picture sitting on the chair with the album in their hands. The doors, mugs & furniture are all given the look.
There must be a secret Sparks fan working for Big Brother who's probably on a secret task. This week the housemates have been made to recreate the Tory downfall scandal of 'Partygate' & it's the first time I've actually laughed out load to something on the TV for years. It's not everybody's thing of course but it educates the younger generations who have no interest in politics as to what's been going on. They also teach them that if you do bad things there are consequences for your actions, a much needed lesson to learn when you're young I think.
Anyone else watching?

Since I don't live in the UK I had no idea what this logo looked like... and yes I have to say it has a very similar design:



Not a fan of that kind of show (not a big fan of TV in general anyway) but maybe the guy who designed it was inspired by ASDDD's cover, who knows?

Complete coincidence would be my take on this ... but none of this matters, as Sparks have just won an award, very rightly so, for 'outstanding contribution to music'!

yes i watch it kermit..i like people watching and seeing how things develope as the days go on and see peoples true colours come through and how being in a confined space really makes people act in different ways..always loved the celebrity versions and you see different sides to people to what you imagined,look at leo sayer,what a horrible little man in reality..i watched all the early big brothers from nasty nick up to them ending the series that was originally on ch4..think i missed some when it went to ch5 but have got back into it now it's on itv....everytime i see this new set i just think it has to be someone who saw sparks album cover of drip drip drip..i think ron & russ would indeed love that diary room ha ha .

I’m obsessed with the new Big Brother aesthetic as well! The dripping eye logo is everything. And I can’t stop laughing at the Partygate task. It’s so clever and relevant. Slope Game

Think its a good mixture in the house.I wasn't going to watch this series but i watched the arrivals and fell for the hourly updates everyday as once you get to know them its addictive.

Martha to be evicted on Friday 100% certainty

Personally, I think it's interesting how the show is tackling significant political issues like the 'Partygate' scandal. Using humor to educate younger viewers about the consequences of actions is a clever way to engage them.

Looking forward to the new Celebrity Big Brother series starting on April 7th.
Chesney Hawkes is rumoured in the line-up. I'm worried his appearance might kick start a revival of 'I am the one & only'. I've always found this track so annoying, it's one of my all time can't stand records. Aargh!!

OK, a bit random though. This isn't the song association game in Stuff & Nonsense is it?
