...humour and romance...
A total change of plan from previous BB's then!
Humour - could do worse than picking people from BBFans !
Romance - now that's a different story.
I think picking any married, or in a relationship, people will be too dangerous - look what happened to Les Dennis as an example. If they want some 'action' then ALL single people would be the best bet. OK, so a Helen/Paul situation is easy to engineer as I felt sure Helen was tipped off her boyfriend had dumped her durind BB2.
The booze always seems to be a factor too - notice how almost every time BB sent in a hamper there was extra alcohol? Leading to the Jade/PJ incident in BB3. Then again, I'm not knocking that - remembering Johnny scampering through the rich side to raid the fridge!
I'm pretty sure I read that Endermol were not going to use the bars this time, although there was talk of a private room for 'head of the house' - if they decided to use that idea.
I wonder if they'll get people who actually understand the BB concept this time? Someone who saw the last series and knows about hidden rooms (like the outside bathroom that was never 'found' in BB3) and all that.
BB also needs to toughen up with strikes, actually kicking someone out seemed possible last time - but they chickened out in the end and let too many incidents go. I would have given them ALL a strike for getting Jade naked!
Other reports I've seen mention that the veg garden will not be a feature this time. Something about it not being used before - what about the poor side in BB3, didn't they use a lot of stuff from it? But, if they've a pig running around I don't think a veg garden would last very long.
Other little things like the 'tea bag bin' should have been in part of the house manual - seemed a shame that it never got used for anything yet was mentioned several times in BBLB.
The sauna idea sounds good - no clothing allowed, but must wear a towel. Wonder how long that will last? Depends if anyone can be bothered to use it, and how long it will take them to loosen up amongst themselves.
Obviously anyone on the shortlist is still 'at large' and will be hearing these stories too - so they should know what to expect if picked for the final 14.
Any other comments folks ? Bear in mind that BB do read our site and may take suggestions and ideas on board!
One thing I would hope for is that C4 don't try and run their own board this time - it was a shambles last time - and caused me to come here instead
Oh - and for new readers, despite my tag of BB4 - I am NOT part of the team who run the show...
