Big Brother returning is the best reality TV news ever

News is simmering on social media that Big Brother is returning to UK screens next year – to ITV2.

It’s been five years since the legendary house’s doors last closed.

Doesn’t it feel like it was just yesterday when we saw Emma Willis get all emotional over saying goodbye?

BB’s return was officially announced by ITV2 during a commercial break in the Love Island final last night (Monday 1 August), sending reality fans into a frenzy on Twitter.

And while a few grumps moan about the revival — it wouldn’t be Twitter without them — the overwhelming vibe is one of joy and nostalgia.

Do you remember these moments?

I’m not a huge reality TV fan at all, but the Big Brother theme song that came back on the radio this morning gave me goosebumps. Peak 2000 televisions. #Big Brother

Others began to consider what their own tactics would be in the house.

(1) My toxic trait is that I believe I could win #Big Brother but in reality I would beat the token tory candidate and refuse to participate in the challenges 🙏🏼

Big Brother means a lot of money

Some potential sponsors showed their business savvy on social media.

Others marveled at the appeal of watching people cooped up in a home with a limited food budget and incommunicado.

They make more Big Brother?! We’ve just all EXPERIENCED it in the last two years

Some answers were a bit political.

Apparently the new #Big Brother don’t give away prize money, because by 2023 the amount that the winner saved on gas costs by being absent will exceed any prize budget anyway. #Satire

I’m so ready for Big Brother ngl. Something about post-pandemic big brother will really show the madness of Britain.

But most of the time everyone is just super happy that BB is coming back. Especially with the news that the new series should include people from “all walks of life”.

This was met with glee by Twitter users, suggesting the tide is turning to celebrity-based reality shows and even (gasp) Love Island.

There’s no word yet on who will present the reboot or if we’ll also see returns from spin-offs like Big Brother’s Little Brother or Big Brother’s Bit on the Side, but check out this space…
