He responded to a tweet asking if he had interviewed all 16 housemates, he said yes.

[Marsh.]

Who is he?

[@bbuk_fans]

Who is he?

I'm guessing he's on digital team... he's been filming and interviewing housemates for the past three days. Must be legit as Marcus retweeted him.

[Marsh.]

Oh, he must make those little VTs for BOTS with them or something.

[Drew.]

Perfect amount.. that should at least supply 1 housemate for me to support.

[Samm]

Nice amount of Housemates

[reece(:]

16 is a good amount.

[andybigbro]

Yay I wanted 16 :D

[Jamesy]

There seems to only be twelve spaces in the main house at the moment... unless there are some beds to be added and the dining table to be extended. Or more realistically 4 housemates will have the first power and live in a bedsit type thing.

[armand.kay]

16 is too much imo.

[Marsh.]

I don't always like 16 straight away at the beginning but I'll see how it goes.

The first night or two gives me earache anyway because they all shout over each other.

[mrmattybeck1]

Perfect amount more than last year I think

16's a good number.

Thanks Marsh. I enjoyed this format last year, doesn't leave you as confused with all the new faces.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I think that's a great amount for launch night, I'm hoping we get a couple newbies half way through but no later.

[Daniel.]

16 is the best imo

[Me. I Am Salman]

16 is too much at the start :/ there's so much unnecessary deadwood. should have done 12 with 3 late entrants. oh C5 will you ever learn

I was gonna say I think 16's a good number and it worked for BB10 but

That's a good point, and with VTE more of these dullard wankers are gonna float through till the end :bored: so

[Daniel.]

I think anything below 16 is not enough :shrug:

There will be no dullard wankers...positivity :P

[Jemal]

Retweets.

[LaLaLand]

That's very true Salman/Jack. VTS would rectify this but hey ho :(

There will be at least four in a cast of 16, they'll be able to be pointed out by week two :p

hopes for 8 1st ep
8 2nd ep

[Macie Lightfoot]

16's too many, it feels so suffocating and claustrophobic to watch.

[Will.]

The house hardly has any beds for 16! I think the beds can only fit about 12 people, including 2 in the double and the dinning table only has 12 seats!

But like someone has already said, it's feasible with the 'power' theme that some housemates will have to sleep in a have-not type room.

[Cal.]

I think there's a secret mini-house somewhere with 4 housemates who will be controlling what goes on in the first week of the show, voted into power by the public.

[BBDodge]

Perfect amount more than last year I think

Only because 1 last year was an actor.

me too

Yeah thats what I think, The old bedroom has only got a small bathroom in so theres definitely a lot of old bedroom left, were a another house could be.

It may seem like that at first but it does work for a 10 week series. 16 housemates, 10 weeks, a double one week, 5 in the final. Pretty straight forward. I don't think BB14 had a double, did it?

If Gina/Dexter counts when the safe house was introduced.

Daley was ejected so nope it didn't :)

[Fish_Fingers]

more of these dullard wankers

Unless there's been a radical change in the calibre of applicants, this is basically inevitable. But hey, it's one of the main reasons I tune in :hugesmile:

[Marsh.]

You can't really guarantee there's no dullards anyway.

Sometimes someone who's usually a bubbly, loud, outgoing person suddenly finds themselves in the BB house and rendered speechless by the other bigger personalities.

Bonneh anyone? :laugh:

There will always be people that stifle others which is one of the great things about Sallie being evicted after a week or so. The dynamic shifted slightly and we saw some other people. Gina opened up a bit more after isolating herself due to Sallie.

[Strictly Jake]

Perfect amount in my opinion
