BIG BROTHER 10 - LAUNCH SECRETS REVEALED


EMBARGOED UNTIL: THURSDAY 4th JUNE, 2009, 00.01am
Press Release: 03rd June, 2009


BIG BROTHER 10


The wait is nearly over. Tomorrow at 9pm live on Channel 4, 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.

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.

the youngest housemate is 16 that not fair

OMG....sounds so exciting...really like the idea

18 and it is fair. You cannot to the best of my knowledge sign legally binding contracts under the age of 18 .

Personally I'd raise it further, they only started using teens in BB7 (not including Teen BB) before that I believe you had to be 20/21+ and the housemates under the old age bracket were much better.

Old news

Not to people who didn't see the removed leak earlier on Mr.

To people who've waited till after the embargo to see it, this is new news.

Thanks for this DigitalSid, i hadn't seen it

16? Gosh that's young. Didn't realise i could audition, being 17 n'all lol.

okay wait one mother ****ing moment

this was released thursday 00:01

and it says it begins tommorow (friday)

conclusion.... leaked intentionally

thanks for the update, really liking the concept of the having to earn the status of becoming an official housemate. loving the fact theres no bedroom at first aswell, and no suitcases.... thats always good. how many are actually going to become official housemates?? sounds like it will only be some of them because they have to go head to head!!

it's 18


the thing we thought was the pool is probably the bath because it's so shallow

Nope. It was released this afternoon when it WAS 'tomorrow'.

love it best twist in years, well done bb!

Deleted by admin. No insults.

Pot, kettle, black.

Thing is, as one of the people who has been suggesting the idea for years I have mixed feelings.

Happiness that they finally did it but sorrow that it's not a complete shock as a result.

Love the twist.. Haha they got to sleep on the Floor... Cruel.. But I love it :P

You know, I do love seeing housemates being subjected to cruel and unusual treatment. BB9's Electric shock task is probably my favourite sadistic task ever. The problem is that it doesn't take very long to put a massive downer on the entire house and that makes for crap viewing.

What we're going to end up with is three days of torture TV, pissed off housemates and a massive viewer switch off. And of course The Apprentice is going to kick BB in the nuts when it's already down on Sunday.

Because they allowed in the garden but no housemate things that is why there is blue decking over the pool so that there dont know it's there and can't use it

But it is only till Sunday so there is only Fridays show which will show launch then Saturdays which will show the task and then it's Sunday which is live again so it won't make much difference

fantastic twist

So a basic house with housemates not having fun.. Hope that lasts no more than a week!

Plus the twist could see the exit of some good housemates.

It really does sound like the best twist for a while! My hope for this series is rising

Sadly there are a lot of people in this world who enjoy seeing others suffer, lets hope they become BB viewers and in doing so, boost the ratings.

Sound brilliant!!
Im so excited for the launch that i wouldnt be suprised if i started writing about BB in my english language exam later today.... can you imagine??
