Big Brother is finally back on our screens and… it just feels right, doesn’t it?

Sunday night’s launch show saw AJ Odudu and Will Best introducing us to the show’s 16 brand new contestants, and while their living quarters might be among the most impressive in Big Brother history, it quickly became apparent that didn’t mean the newcomers were going to have an easy time of it.

The first night saw one housemate being stripped of hot water and his suitcase, and another being forced to sleep on the floor, while poor Olivia became the first contestant to be put up for the chop (even if Big Brother did change his mind about this mere moments later).

What really heaped on the BB nostalgia was the fact that the show was dominating the conversation over on Twitter (now known as X). Here are a selection of our favourite posts from the night...

Before the show even got going, fans were settling in for a night of live-tweeting (or whatever it is we call it in the X era)

AJ’s total fashion slay immediately got people talking 

And fans were immediately struck by the fact that Big Brother had cast a wider net than some of its reality TV peers when it came to this year’s housemates  

Not this

 

One contestant’s mum caught viewers’ attention as she waved him off from the crowd

People were loving seeing Hallie rush to greet whoever walked through the door

It only took 40 minutes for Yinrun to gift us with the first meme of the new series

Harry’s early admission about loving Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party didn’t exactly go down well with everyone

Kerry’s entrance, on the other hand, is already the stuff of Big Brother legend

One thing we weren’t expecting from launch night was quite so much perm chat

And it’s fair to say that Jenkin’s first night under Big Brother’s watch didn’t exactly go smoothly 

The first twist of the series also got some big reactions

Even though the launch show was largely well-received, some people felt the editing was a little... on the fast-paced side

Still, the live-feed nostalgia made us feel like it was 2003 again

Bring on the rest of the series, we say!

Big Brother continues on Monday night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
