What is this 'Wildcard' shenanigan? Help!

[?]

I used to be a die hard Big Brother fan but over the past year I've reclined and I've been busy the past few weeks with exams etc so could someone explain to me this whole wildcard situation and any other confirmed things for this series as i'm getting more and more confused! :-(

Cheers!

There's a special auditions show on Tuesday at 8pm before the launch show at 9pm, which will introduce three 'wildcard' hopefuls

The public vote will then open and the wildcard with the most votes will enter the house on Friday

Ohh, so there will be 17 housemates in total and no eviction on Friday?

Emma and Brian were pretty coy about it on Loose Women on Friday, but Channel 5 has billed the show as a 'Live Eviction' (not sure if that's changed)

All HMs receive 4 cards from a pack of 52 and whoever has an ace has to go a bit wild and kiss a hippo on its arse and whoever has a King has to rub glue on their nipples.

That would be new

I wont bother voting anyone in, will save my money to vote them out

I have utmost respect for members with usernames consisting of one character. Hats off to you. *looks for my own*

It's exactly the same as in BB2. Jamie East picking the wildcards does not make it a new twist.
