BIG Brother 7 housemates will be allowed to discuss nominations for the first time — as bosses go all out to guarantee fights.
Contestants will also be ENCOURAGED to forge secret alliances to maximise bitching and back-stabbing.
BB chiefs are desperate to beat Celebrity X Factor in the ratings with the nastiest BB ever.
They want the housemates at each others’ throats from day one.
A source said: “The bigwigs know viewers like a bad guy on the show. This year every contestant will have to be a bad guy to survive.
“Letting the contestants discuss nominations is a sure-fire way to get the blood boiling.”
The theme is “survival” and producers have adopted ideas from the US version of the show.
The nomination process will be changed to stop housemates sitting on the fence in arguments to try and remain popular.
Instead the weekly task will determine who is Head of House.
They then decide the nominations and openly discuss who they want out.
The source added: “It will force the housemates to compete for friendship with the Head of House. Bigwigs want to shock viewers who think they know what to expect.
“The plan is for a ruthless bitch-fest that will keep Big Brother on top.”
The Sun has already revealed BB7 is the biggest series so far, with 18 contestants sharing two bedrooms.
Viewers will still decide who is evicted in the series — due to be hosted by Davina McCall — starting on May 18.
