    For the first week or so they could be handy....

    For the first week, yes. After that, no.

    They're on screen for like 5 seconds, it's hardly like they're wearing namecards around their necks.

    Name tags are great for getting to know the housemates in the early days. They are also useful for viewers that may switch on during Day 21 etc so they can easily immerse themselves into the show.

    I say keep them.

    I fail to understand this notion when people get up in arms about them. They are simple text graphics that pop up for 3 seconds and disappear again. Hardly big red graphics with klaxon sound effects :rolleyes:

    They are a must for me sadly, at least for the first week or two. :o

    Although that is also a good idea.

    First week Id say needed often.
    Second week ease off on them.
    Third week rarely use them.
    Fourth week not needed at all.

    I agree with other people in this thread - for the first few days they are quite handy. After that, though, I'm sure most of us know who is who, so they get ever so slightly annoying.

    For the first week or so, they are fine but afterwards they need to get rid of them.

    I don't even know the name of everyone in my family, I have an appalling memory :o. I found them pretty useful during CBB.

    Getting to know their names was always part of the fun. I don't want or need to be spoonfed. It's so patronizing.

    After a while I hardly noticed them anyway.

    I would like them to be on the first few episodes while we get used to the names but after that I hope they are gone

    NO NAME TAGS, NO TOWIE.

    The show last year was just a poor imitation of Towie.

    Never needed them in 11 years, don't need them now.

    Come on it's supposed to be a reality show, whether the tags are useful or not it's another unneeded step towards the MTV/Towie crap.

    Exactly.

    The name tags were just a way of trying to copy that brainless show.

    ^ This, though it doesn't really bother me that much.

    I have to say I like it when the amount of nominations received pops up when they all nominate, I hope they've kept that. :)
