24 memes about the Big Brother launch that prove the best show on TV is back, baby!

I cannot believe I am existing at a time where I have a job in which I am being paid to write about Big Brother. This is my favourite reality show of all time – a formative pop cultural viewing that has shaped my childhood, and here I am as an adult as Big Brother returns with an astronomical bang. We all had our doubts, but that was a perfect first episode. The house is beautiful, the housemates are weird and wonderful with a splash of carnage and AJ and Will Best are naturals. Nothing summed up how great that Big Brother launch night was then X / Twitter – so here’s a roundup of all the best memes and reactions that prove BB is back to being unmissable.

1. Jenkin got put through the RINGER

Sorry but I think it's absolutely hilarious that Jenkin has been in the #bbuk house for three minutes and has already lost his suitcase, has to have cold showers and make breakfast in bed and just accidentally nominated someone for eviction. pic.twitter.com/uYIJ87ZA5Y

3. RIP Pete Burns you’d have been in your element

Trish: I'm very left wing and I hate the Tories.

Henry: I voted Conservative because I want to have a martini with Boris Johnson.
