I hate the power trip twist, especially when the housemate with the power is chosen by big brother but I'm really liking the housemates - I hope it's not going to affect nominations - I wouldn't mind if the HOH are immune or get extra points but hopefully nothing more than that!

Thanks for the youtube link, we've never seen the Oz version before, that was really good - none of the posturing from the UK wannabes, or the panto booing from the crowd... and some interesting housemates. That house looks miles better than Borehamwood's!

Not sure I can commit another 12 weeks to watching via youtube everyday though... ! Has the Oz version ever been broadcast in the UK?

Such a great launch! Priya is going to be a seriously incredible housemate. She is probably going to be like Tahan, she'll wind lots of them up or annoy them but she'll be saved a lot - I can already tell she'll be amazing viewing.

I like the twist, but it might be annoying if I grow to really like one of the pair but dislike the other... I love Katie atm though so Priya is fine

I agree with some of the views on the HOH thing though... It sounds great as long as they don't mess with nominations as said above. Part of why I love BBAU is becsuse they make it really exciting more or less all the time without messing with things too much. I like the little things, like when Tim had to choose ice cream or Tahan's hair dryer, they might seem like silly decisions but can cause a bit of a rift in the house or an argument or some fun!

I love that they do so well in their choice of housemates. One of the strength's of BBAU

A nurse ,a midwife, a graphic designer, a radiographer, and a shop worker etc

Normal people can be great housemates.

Our load of fame hungry wannabees all start to look the same, year after year.

So glad to see BBAU back for hopefully, another fantastic series.

Just caught up with the show. I was hooked. Loving Jason / Priya / Jake. Did find it unfair Priya was selected 1st though. Was it through random draw?? Anyway, an entertaining first show.

I tweeted the producer to see if he would confirm if it was random. I'm not complaining since the power isn't too much yet. If they start giving finalists passes then it's unfair she gets to pick

Agree, she seems an interesting housemate but the fact she gets the power over the others is favouratism.

I wouldn't doubt the personality tests had something to do with it. In order to set up a chain where people each had one good choice and one bad choice, some would have more options than others, so it would make sense to put someone with fewer pairings at the front of the line. Meaning it's likely there were fewer people she'd definitely mesh with or fewer people she'd be at odds with. Going by how abrasive Katie is coming across, I'd lean towards the latter for now.

Decent episode, an okay mixture of HGs... i felt just slightly let down by the HGs, not in a big way or anything, it's only that usually i feel more impressed by Australia's HG and i'm left with a huger impression than i was this time.

I liked the 10k temptation to start things off, really intriguing.... and i'm glad the two started off as HoH who did, because i don't like them very much initially and i'd prefer someone i wasn't connecting with to make those early decisions.

I'm okay with the twist, i suppose... i just hope BBAUS never goes away from intruders coming in later, it's always something i greatly look forward to.

It's great to start this BBAUS journey once again, really excited to see how this whole thing plays out.

I think it must have been random, I don't think BBAU would be as blatantly biased as that like our version it does seem a bit iffy though I guess she was first housemate in the promos too but maybe she was drawn to be first housemate in and on the promos before that even. She did, for me, make by far the best impression in terms of having huge potential to be an incredible housemate so maybe they just wanted to be sure the twists started with a bang.

Once again BBAUS have proved themselves so far with a strong opening,good housemates and lovely house and a power theme which might actually work unlike BBUK

I would have taken the $10K then begged for forgiveness. Anyone else?
