BB FANS

BIG BROTHER 10


Tune in tonight at 9pm to see Davina McCall reveal the identities of the new potential housemates in the Big Brother launch programme direct from the house.

Big Brother will celebrate a decade on the air with the arrival of 8 men and 8 women who each have a plan to entertain us over the summer months and leave the house victorious (and £100,000 richer).

Those entering the house could potentially spend up to 13 weeks in the Big Brother house but in true Big Brother style they won't be allowed to get too comfortable. Within minutes of them all arriving, Big Brother will reveal to viewers and those in the house that they are not yet official housemates and will not get access to the full Big Brother house.

All hopeful housemates will have to individually earn their housemate status over the next three days by completing tasks set by Big Brother. Each task has been designed to challenge the hopefuls' fears and pride and some will require them to go head to head against one another in a bid to become a bone fide housemate.

Only once the 'hopefuls' have successfully completed a task and been granted housemate status will they be allowed access to the 'real' Big Brother house. Until then they will only be able to access the living room (void of any creature comforts), a toilet and the garden.
Hopefuls won't get access to their suitcases and will be forced to spend their first night sleeping on the living room floor. Bathing will be a bath in the garden which can only be filled by carrying cold water in a hole-ridden bucket across the garden.

All 16 people entering the house have been in hiding for the past few weeks. All that is being revealed before the launch is that the 16 are the most diverse group yet, with hopeful housemates from a wide range of countries and backgrounds. The eldest is 40 and the youngest is 18.

As above but also, "A ban on fake romances will also be enforced. If a couple look like getting close, housemates will be asked to decide whether they are genuine or playing up for the cameras."

B BRO IS BIG CON


The 16 wannabes who enter the house tonight will immediately be told they are not yet housemates, only guests, and have to earn the right to stay and battle for the £100,000 prize.

Lots more about how basic the house will be - " They will get a blanket each and can snuggle up together on the floor."

Yes, this years intake have to earn the right to become full housemates - so says the Daily Star...

No more fake romances - all we need now is no more fake hysteria from a bitch group, and no more, I am on a journey shite either.

Hmm - sounds rubbish to me. We all know how task success can rely on some factor or other that the producers can manipulate (e.g. the statue task in BB9). So, for instance, if there's a Pete or a Nadia among the HMs tonight there is NO WAY the producers would allow them not to pass as they'd be obviously good entertainment value.

Generally, I think the producers are right with their choices, incidentally. Even obvious makeweights like Vanessa in BB6 or almost the entire cast of BB8 had something about them. Not much in some cases, but something. So having said that, I'd be much happier if they just chose for us, packed them into that house and gave them so much booze on launch night that it's a matter of seconds before trousers are dropped, boobs come out and the HMs generally start acting like giddy goats for my entertainment. Days of cold water and porridge will be somewhat depressing to watch.

Yes I don't like it when they are too nasty to them, because it is not entertaining to watch.

this all sounds too good. . i am really looking forward to watching this.

and i'm going to try and avert my eyes from all the spoilers, i want to know what happens but i do want some surprises too!

I don't mind BB being a BIT cruel to the HMs. But the deprivation thing gets old and boring very quickly. Nobody likes watching depressed people having a moan for days on end. I like it better if it's things that just wind them up into a humorous rant for a short time. Can't remember which series it was, but there was one where BB himself had a bit of a jokey personality and had right laugh at the expense of the HMs.

Yes that was good.

That was the year he did 'Simon Says' as 'Big Brother Says' - novelty wore off after a while tho'
