Why did C4 announce the launch twist so early?

[President]

Usually we don't know the twist until launch night. So why have Channel 4 announced the twist so early in advance???

There must be something more to this. They didn't need to announce the twist yesterday. They could have done it on launch night just like every other series. I have a feeling there's still some more big news to come in the next few days.

Maybe they're going to put profiles up on the website next week of the final 30 housemates and we vote for our favourites? and the top 16 become housemates?

Million Pound Drop?

[President]

Million Pound Drop?
yeah possibly. i am not usually a conspiracist but there's definitely something fishy going on. some of the MPD contestants are BB material.

[ILoveTRW]

all maybe revealed on the last episode

[AndrewLee***]

why else would they have audition for it?

[President]

all maybe revealed on the last episode
yeah maybe. Or the contestants could just be really bad actors employed by Endemol. It's happened before!

[Patrick]

Please can one of you two explain what you mean by The Million £ Drop being related to BB?

[Patrick]

Well I hope theres somthing more to it, because the twist sounds boring and **** tbh.

[ILoveTRW]

Please can one of you two explain what you mean by The Million £ Drop being related to BB?

could have something to do with the prize fund or all the contestant could be potential bb housemates

[President]

Okay how about this: on the Million Pound Drop the contestants are coming on as pairs. So far there have been 7 pairs + one single contestant. What if they ARE potential BB contestants, but WE the public have to vote before the series one person from each pair to go into the house.

On launch night, all of these couples will be sitting down and they'll find out which one of the pair has got into the BB house?

[Boothy]

Has this twist been confirmed? It sounds bloody awful to me!

I think you're right, there's something more to it. There must be. Either that or they just want to gain as much interest for the launch as possible.

I'm still convinced that The Million Pound Drop is in someway related to BB. Davina, the 'secure & secret location', the money, Endemol, C4, the fact that all the contestants on the MPD all seem like plausible Big Brother housemates, etc. As someone said, there is definitely something fishy going on. But I don't know. If they're linked, I think it could potentially be one of the best ideas yet, if I'm honest.

[ILoveTRW]

and also the contestants on the MPD keep saying how they have been locked up all day
could that be because they are in hiding?

[Lowkey]

They probably did it to build up hype for the last season.

Interesting theory...

To be honest... that is veyr interesting, thats the closest to me believeing its somewhat BB related, because i kept saying no. Why would most of them say they have been locked up? Or maybe they mean they need to be locked up away before appearing on the show anyways :/

Two people from Channel 4 hinted at this yesterday when the news was announced.

"BB11 Breaking news coming: LAUNCH NIGHT WILL BE HUGE" - Kate in the press office.

"It's such a relief to get that secret offloaded - just one more to go....." - Paula Carter Viewrs Editor.

Meh.. no! I don't want any of the contestants who have played MPD to go into the house to be honest.

[redarrows123]

na the millon pound drop has nothing to do with big brother thats what i been told cos my mate works for channel 4 but tbh im not 2 sure

[Beastie]

Gemma is bugging me. I am watching MPD an hour later.

[southblue]

and also the contestants on the MPD keep saying how they have been locked up all day

But they also mention having read all the newspapers in preparation for the questions. I thought once you were in hiding this was forbidden.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

aww i really liked gemma that upset me

[President]

yeah, the more i think about it, the more i think the MPD contestants aren't housemates.

But it's stil fishy why C4 announced this twist so early in advance.

[Beastie]

Yep more than meets the eye I bet. I hope we get more news soon!

[keithafc]

Its got NOTHING to do with this BB series coming up. Everyone you seen so far in this million pound drop WON'T be going into the BB house.

[crossieKIDD]

Please no, all the contestants on MPD have been young etc i want some older wierd interesting characters aswell. Yeah but MPD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BB I WISH YOU'D ALL SHUT UP ABOUT IT!

[Nicklol123]

Interesting theory...

Yeah but some people are applying like they day before and getting on the show.
