So the last couple nights, we have a new innovation.
At the start of the freeview show on BS1, the phones have been turned off and there has been a 5 minute countdown during which time the girl on the bed is interviewed by the presenter.
Saturday night it was Daryl being interviewed by Geri, last night was Cleo interviewing Kandi.
Strange thing was, Kandi was on the bed on a call but got pulled off and the call ended for this 5 minute interview section. She then seemed to be waiting another 5 minutes afterwards for a new call to come through.
While it's quite nice seeing these occasional bits of chatter from the girls, and gives a chance to see their real personalities, I really don't see the objective of this section. It seems a strange thing to quit a call and turn the phones off just to have a chat on screen. Maybe there is some technical thing going on behind the scenes when freeview comes online that they suddenly need to spend a few minutes sorting out, so they created this delay to cover it.
Not sure if I like this or not, it just seems slightly contrived and artificial. Maybe it was just a weekend experiment, we'll see tonight
