Thanks a lot!

Just watched the first episode, and it was good. Much more upbeat and pleasant start than BBUK.

It's much better than the UK show already, the presenter knows what she's doing for a start.

Caught up with this now, I've not watched BB Australia before, but this was an awesome start.

Particularly 'Think very carefully before trying to claw your way through the walls of the Big Brother house'

The house looks great too, like the automatic doors on the diary room.

I think I heard Sonia say that the show last three months, so until Novemberish?

I'm just catching up on the launch show and I'm really liking it already. Everything just seems more calm and relaxed. The house is amazing as well.

Might as well keep this thread going
