I watched Big Brother and it was actually pretty awesome
Stop at your peak. It's a gift. Some TV shows are better off saying goodbye. Reintroducing Kees & Co: why? A new Gossip Girl or Lizzie McGuire? You actually know it’s not going to get better. And then there was the revival of Big Brother, a project where John de Mol has invested quite a bit of money.
The question is of course to what extent we still need daily reality (Utopia 2 had quite a hard time) but hey, we’re all at home more and everything presenter Geraldine Kemper touches turns to gold, lately. Now I must say: I checked it out last night and was immediately hooked. The Flemish Big Brother voice might be a bit of a bummer for the Dutch viewer, but for the rest: this is quite entertaining couch TV.
Thanks to the good casting, you can already feel where characters might clash and hey, that’s exactly what reality disaster tourists enjoy on the couch. Whether it will be a ratings hit will be proven in the coming weeks, but for now, tongues are wagging on Twitter and that’s step 1. Just look…
There is already strategic thinking about how certain types can leave the house.
If someone snores that loudly in the same room where I sleep… Then we supposedly have a rat problem and the food I make has a different taste? #bigbrother #bigbrothernlbe

No, but really: Thomas's snoring is the talk of the town.
Who would have thought? From popping champagne together with a cork, to 100 days of sleep deprivation because of Thomas's snoring.#bigbrother

Curious what Remco's wife thinks of this plan.
I would have liked to participate.
In terms of sex, I wouldn't have minded those 100 days without sex.
I have been married for 21 years. I'm used to that anyway.#bigbrother— Remco (@Topdob11) January 4, 2021
And yes, the first Big Big Brother Bingo is a fact.
Nobody:

“If it doesn’t go well, then it will have to go badly.” Okay, a bit scared of Theo though…
Theo is going to nominate ‘tjieko’....
for the viewers at home.. he means Ziko #bigbrother pic.twitter.com/ysndmHlb6T— Maris (@maristwit70) January 4, 2021
And that’s just how it is, Kim
One thing is for sure! Twitter is really the added value here ??
