BIG Brother will become a people power reality show when it returns to our screens later this year.

Big Brother fans will have a big say in what goes on in the house for the first time, not just over who gets the boot.


We can reveal that producers have drawn up revolutionary plans that will totally transform the spy-on-the-wall programme.


Under the shake-up, fans will decide who enters the house, who does the tasks and what treats or punishments housemates receive.


And one lucky viewer will even get the chance to spend a day in the TV house.


A source revealed: “Big Brother has always been proud of its boast that ‘you decide’ who stays or goes.


“Well now that’s being taken even further.


“For the first time, viewers really will be able to decide virtually everything that happens during the show’s run.”


BB is poised to return in August with a celebrity version, followed by an “ordinary” run of the show.


As well as choosing which housemates win a place on the series, viewers will decide who is picked for the three tasks each week, just like on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity.


Our insider added: “Everyone wants to see the squealers squeal.


“We don’t want Mr Alpha Male stepping in and doing tasks which are easy for them, we want the weak links to do it and mess up.”


Housemates will also get just one minute to nominate their fellow wannabes for eviction, or get thrown out themselves.


The source said: “Nominations take too long, with people painfully struggling to decide.


“Giving them a time limit will spice things up.


“Viewers will vote as usual in the weekly evictions but there will be at least four housemates up for the chop each week.”


Exact details of when and where the programme will return are still being finalised.


But a host of outrageous contestants are being considered for Celebrity Big Brother, including hooker Jenny Thompson, 21, who allegedly enjoyed sex sessions with Wayne Rooney, 25.


Rooney’s cousin Natalie, 20, and outspoken football pundit Andy Gray, 55, are also in line for deals.


Our source added: “Watch this space. BB is going to be bigger, brighter and more controversial than ever.


“It’s going to make a sizzling August even hotter.”

Ohh ffs.

Celeb BB should piss off.

Its rarely 'celebs' anyway. I mean, a hooker who slept with wayne rooney? Seriously?

[Locke.]

Should just do a 3/4 week celeb version once a year and forget about the normal show

[GypsyGoth]

I hope they do live feed

[iRyan]

Don't get excited yet, this could be an April Fools joke.

I'm not happy with a potential BB overload this year. I'll be happy with one or the other, not both.
The only good thing about this article is that it fuels the BB revival rumour, which has to be good?

On a slightly related subject; where's Patrick? Maybe he combusted spontaneously?

[GypsyGoth]

Oh right, it's a fake link


Edit, sorry it's not

Nevermind actually, it says the article was published April 2nd, 2011. So it would be weird for them to pull a joke a day late...

I guess this actually is real!

But um, I do NOT like the idea of us choosing who goes in. The viewers would pick all boring people! I mean, maybe if it was out of like 30 potential people that were all REALLY strong candidates...

[AJ.]

When the "public" keep showing over & over they're so frigging stupid why give them that sort of power with a show you just spent £200M on?

Sending in a viewer.. wtf. Hopefully this is just the usual made up DS crap.

[Shasown]

Depends who they select to let the viewers pick from.

If they dont have boring people in the selection, boring people cant be selected can they, saying that though, no matter who gets selected some will complain.

I agree. The public are morons when it comes to Big Brother.

[Judas]

Sound's ****. Nothing like the original concept of getting to know the housemates, 1 minute nominations. wow.

It's April 2nd?

[DigitalSid]

4th article from the star about BB supposedly returning in 3 days, it does look now like Northern And Shell are confident that it's gonna happen and are building up to an announcement sometime next week.

that sounds rubbish, i want it to be more like the original. public deciding everything will ruin the show. i minute nominations what a load of bs.
the public deciding who go in will be crap because all they will end up having in there is the 'good looking' fake bitchess

[Sticks]

One hopes this is idle speculation

Anyone remember "Back to Reality"?

It proved that Channel 5 were even more inept than Channel 4 at running things

[RichardG]

I'm actually really happy.
I don't think the public will choose all boring housemates, partly because I would imagine they would have to choose out of a pre-made selection that they provide us with, and if they want a prostitute for Celebrity Big Brother then I don't think they'll only give us people like JJJ to choose from! There'll probably be a few wild people in there.

I'm not happy about sending a viewer in though. That's just a bit 'urgh', I don't get excited by that one bit.

I do like the way it sounds though because they really seem to have shaken things up. It seems different and people may be angry but lets be honest, do we really want to see another BB11? This seems to be more exciting at least with the whole one minute nominations or getting kicked out and so on. The show needs to be changed a lot or else it doesn't stand a chance, simple as. The majority of the public have proved a dislike for the show as it stands right now.

Don't judge it yet, if it's true then you might end up liking it. Give it a chance.

[Glenn.]

If C5 do air BB, I hope they don't change too much.

[Jords]

This sounds great BUT I dont like the idea of choosing who goes in, its gonna just be hot people (regardless if theyre dull) and the 1s that make themself appear a freak/gobby...
