Big Brother<\/strong> started last night and it was good fun, Emma Willis was great and Rylan was much better than anticipated on Bit On The Side. The big twist is that contestant Michael is an actor and is “The People’s Puppet” – not a true housemate and can’t win, and he’ll be doing our evil bidding. I think his story will be fascinating come the end of the series, this is much more interpersonal than say The Mole<\/strong>. I suspect to pull it off you’re going to need rather sociopathic tendencies. We’ll see how long he’s able to pull it off for.<\/p>\n

Anyway there’s a second launch show tonight with six more housemates going in, let’s hope it does a bit better than it did against The Secret Life of Cats<\/em> last night.<\/p>\n

Except it’s up against the new series of The All New Million Pound Possibly Two Million Pound Drop<\/strong>, also at 9pm on C4. What’s gonna happen?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile they’re bringing back Blind Date<\/strong> with Cilla<\/a> for a one-off 50th anniversary of Cilla in showbiz special. Let’s hope they bring back the “ditch or date” element and voiceover Tommy which were really successful in rejuvenating the show in its final years *straightface*.<\/p>\n

In other Endemol news, the celeb line-up for Your Face Sounds Familiar<\/strong> has been released<\/a> and, well…<\/p>\n
