'Breaking' 'News' from the BB website is as follows...
This Friday, six new people (men and women) will enter the house. However, only some of them will go on to become fully-fledged housemates. But how, who, when and where? One thing's for certain: this will really stir up the housemates. Not only will they have to cope with losing someone, but also the arrival of strangers.
And there you have it. Maybe they're preparing for the loss of Charley by sticking all these extra people in and hoping some excitement might occur. Thoughts?

Oh dear, I have a feeling that this is the moment when I give up on this year's BB. The more they manipulate the show (and the more blatantly desperate they become to get viewers) the more bored I get. Everyone knows people put in half-way through the run get booted pretty quickly anyway, and I just can't be bothered getting to know them before they go. Bored bored bored.

I've only watched to see Ziggy go in, in case he was fit (he wasn't) and Charly go out and in again, but srsly.
"We're shoving THOUSANDS more people in the house! You won't know who they are! It'll be really shit!" is not the way to entice me.
Memo to Channel 4/Endemol: back to basics, you r-tards. 14 or so people, in a house. Voting each other out til no-one is left. No extra housemates half way through. No shocking twists. No moles. That is the only way you will save the shower of shit that Big Brother is becoming, no matter how loudly Davina caws that it will be AMAZING.

Oh for the love of Zippy. How very convenient that this is being unveiled when it looks like Charley might actually be shown the door.
One of the newbies is being touted as an even bigger bitch than Charley, so of course people will rather see the interaction between those two than just seeing Tracey say "I'm Trace. 'Ave it" then retire in the corner to quietly judge and look like Worzel Gummidge.
...Of course, I shall be watching with metaphorical popcorn.

I don't think there's any way they can really save Big Brother - there are no more new and interesting types of housemates and twisty gimmicks left. |

If they do do another series, I'd like to see them remove the ban on discussing nominations. Let's watch the scheming and plotting and see how those with the game plans actually play out, and if they're actually capable of playing the game. Maybe even get them to nominate in public.
And have immunity challenges for the housemates to compete for - how different would last year's have been had Grace won immunity over Lisa. She'd have stayed for another week (and possibly not been put up straight away) and Nikki would have gone that week. More immunity challenges are the way forward.

Yeah. If channel 4 are going to cheat every week they may as well let the contestants do so.

For years I've thought they shouldn't have a garden - make them stay inside for the duration and they shouldn't be allowed to leave voluntarily. Sounds like a prison but would probably be much more entertaining to watch.

I think that one year we saw a glimpse of (possibly ) an American BB where they plotted openly to fuck each other up. Here we seem to penalise those who don't seem nice, hence the blandness of Cameron and that Geordie sexist prick and the loathing of Victor, Nasty Nick and that pretty boy who was in and out quickly this year. Personally I'm all for crowning the one who deceives the others the best. let's have open discussions of nominations and tactical votes. This year for he first time I have not been sucked in, I watch sometimes, couldn't care less when I miss it though. I don't like anyone, don't fancy anyone, don't find anyone car crash telly, it's all just dull.

The "discussing nominations" rule is arbitrary, though, like most of the 'rules' on Big Brother. They only enforce it if they want to keep a certain housemate in or kick a certain one out early.
'Immunity challenges' would only work if the 'right' person received immunity. Last year's show might have been different if Grace had won immunity instead of Lisa, but the fact is she didn't. The only other immunity prize was won by Jennie, and though she was a nice enough girl, not many people were bothered whether she was there or not.
I'm with Nurse Dunkley on this one. Big Brother's best days are probably behind it. By this point the viewers and the contestants are well aware of the sort of 'shocking' twists and 'outrageous' housemates that they'll put in. Maybe there just isn't anything new they can do.

Right, apparently this is what is happening.
There are now five new people in the "halfway house". They will each get the chance, over the next couple of days, to meet the other housemates in the BB house. On Monday, two of the halfway housemates will be chosen to become legitimate housemates in the BB house. However, they will switch places with two of the existing housemates. After this swap, whoever is in the "halfway house" (3 new housemates, and 2 current ones) will compete for their place in the BB house in a variety of tasks and decisions.
Got that? No indication yet as to how this will affect nominations or how many people will be ultimately leaving.

Oh for fuck's sake.
Let's put some people in a shitty house next door.
Then let's put two of them in the main house.
Then let's put one of the main housemates in the house next door.
Then let's paly swapsies with another new housemate and another old housemate.
Then let's tell everyone soon all the people in the house next door will be up for eviction so they can be all 'oooh liam, ziggy, oh noes!'
Then we realise that two of the more interesting new people got stuck in the house next door, as did one of the faves, and also someone who the public massifly hate on this week, so...
then we put all the people currently in the house next door and we churck back the shite new housemates, oh and one of the others for the sake of it. And THEY can get the public vote instead.
This twist was shit.
Poor old Tracey, she didn't deserve that. KAraLouise to go, please, for that terrible hair and stupid name and no display of personality. Followed swiftly by the old lady in the thong. (Shanessa that is, not Carole)

have not watched all weeek and have therefore missed all aspects of twist. And I'm not all that gutted about it from the looks of this

It would be so much better if they evicted all of those people - they are all desperately dull and add nothing. If I had to pick one I'd have to go with Shanessa. It's purely superficial (which I do feel bad about) but I do genuinely find her uncomfortable to look at. Why must she be naked ALL THE TIME?! |

Shanessa is horrible, she's seen the show and has decided to latch onto Brian 'oh does he like me? he's a nice guy...i saw his huge cock'
And David creeps me out 'i KNOW how to win Gerry' and Amy is after dull Liam who is too dull to realise a whore when he meets one. Her nose...bloody hell.

I totally hear what everyone's saying about Shanessa and David, but it's Kara-Louise that I find uncomfortable to watch. She just has this element of 'ick' about her. And don't ask me to explain it, but there's something about her face that reminds me of Helen Daniels.
Overall though, this halfway business is just plain dull. The producers really are making this up as they go along, aren't they?

I don't mean this to sound like I'm a secret racist (I'm not, honest guv!) but is Kara-Louise mixed race or just really, really fake tanned. I can't work it out at all.

What's happened to her forehead? Did she bleach some of her skin as well as her hair?
