Details about the new series of Big Brother

[Will.]

Just got this from the press email, it's for immediate release:

Big Brother is back with an unpredictable new series. From Day One the Housemates will be under attack from an unseen ominous dark force that will have a dramatic and divisive effect on the House. Join Emma Willis live on launch night as the Housemates enter the unknown. Whilst things may appear to be straight forward Big Brother will ensure that no-one will have the entire picture. There may even be deeper connections at work? The Housemates are not alone and they should be prepared for paranoia and suspicion.

The Big Brother House has been transformed into a slick, stark monochrome world. Whilst everything may appear to be black and white – that certainly won’t be the case. Viewers should prepare for a ‘yin and yang’ style force to evolve Big Brother for a new generation. This force will affect the Housemates for better or for worse. So who will survive the summer and win £100,000? You decide!

[Headie]

Sounds messy

[Will.]

Sounds like BB14 mixed with BB15.

[Glenn.]

Definitely two houses competing against each other then

[Denver]

Have they decreased the prize fund?

[TomC]

Hmmm. Interesting. This will be either be amazing or tragic. Depends how they pull it off!

[Denver]

This does now put to bed the BBUS format obsession?

[Guuki]

I wonder what about the housemates for this series? Are they in some kind of sequester already? If not, they can read all the news and notes like that one above as well as everyone. And that'd ruin it all. And if they are in sequester already, isn't it insane to be cut from outside world for that long? I'm curious.

[TomC]

@ Adam. Idk. It certainly sounds like more of a gameshow now though.

Praying that Rylan gives us a date

[Will.]

I wonder if we're getting the full promo today.

If they were already locked away, surely that would mean launch within two weeks? Do the HMs even go into "hiding" these days?

Nothing in that info couldn't be gleaned from what we know already tbh.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Here for the Death Eaters

[TomC]

I think it'll deffo launch around Fri 10th June. Was hoping for Fri 3rd but I've realised Up Late With Rylan is still on then.

[Denver]

I think it's a total brand new format never seen before by the sounds of it.

Maybe good vs bad?

Good being unknown housemates and bad being people in the paper everyone likes such as Most Cunningham and Barbie Boy?

[Glenn.]

Maybe a 2 part launch again this year?

[Will.]

I think it'll deffo launch around Fri 10th June. Was hoping for Fri 3rd but I've realised Up Late With Rylan is still on then.

BB15's theme was revealed on the 16th May and it launched 5th June, so perhaps A Fri 10th could be possible.

[Denver]

Maybe a 2 part launch again this year?

Unless there is 2 staircase's and they have to chose one to walkup

[Glenn.]

They'd know about each other then and the whole thing is pointless

[Denver]

They are going to know anyway? With them being in a different house and all that crap

[TomC]

I thought the extension was gonna be a task arena, which sounds more feasible with this news.

[VanessaFeltz.]

it ia gonna be a mess

[elliebrew]

Yin and Yang! I always wanted this theme

[Moosething]

So no celeb vs civilian?

[Daniel.]

:amazed:

[Daniel.]

lol its gonna be trash, ill spend the summer sunning meself and ;loving life

[Jake.]

I like the idea of black and white style house

[Samm]

Don't they usually say the sub-title now, so hopefully it's just being called Big Brother this year?

[Headie]

Don't they usually say the sub-title now, so hopefully it's just being called Big Brother this year?

Big Brother: Yin & Yang - Lisa Huo's redemption?

lmao :joker:

[Jason.]

I'd be so here for a Friday launch again. :flutter: The last time a civilian series had one was BB6 (excluding BB12 because they had no choice but to launch it off the back of CBB8).

[Kate!]

Please no two part launch.

[Ross.]

The dark force is serving Star Wars teas

[TiBB Frontpage Article]

James has posted a new TiBB frontpage article.

http://pictures.thisisbigbrother.com/userpics/10433/normal_Big_Brother_Summer_2016.jpg (http://pictures.thisisbigbrother.com/userpics/10433/Big_Brother_Summer_2016.jpg)

Channel 5 have revealed some more information about the new series of Big Brother, in a statement. It says 'an unseen force that will have a dramatic and divisive effect on the House', and that the housemates should be prepared for 'paranoia and suspicion'.

The design of the Big Brother 2016.....

Excerpt of article quoted above. Read full article here - http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/bigbrother17-2016/news-301146/channel-5-release-some-more-details-about-summer-bb.html

[Babayaro.]

meh

[*mazedsalv**]

So we won't get any normal noms then? :(

[Jack_]

This sounds so convoluted and poorly written I honestly thought it was something from a fan made series design, I can't believe it's real :umm2:

[zakman440]

So they've learnt nothing then.

[Jack_]

'The housemates are not alone'

Sounds like we're getting celebs

[zakman440]

If it helps, they've also updated the Twitter header to include a photo of Emma sat in a White BB1 diary room chair and Rylan smashing the eye, with the phrase "the game is changing" also included:

[Mrmattybeck]

So can't wait the most trusted series yet [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3] the new generation

[Babayaro.]

Is that not just a regular chair and not the BB1 diary room one?

[Daniel.]

Expect a BBUS theme

It's a shame that they refuse to give us a normal series witnh 12 big characters to make there own drama and stories, you know like they did until BB13

[Greg!]

The description is so messy. "dark forces" welp.
I'm still excited though, I think there will be two houses but they're being vague because the housemates aren't in hiding yet.

[Greg!]

So they've learnt nothing then.

The series hasn't started yet

[TomC]

Is that not just a regular chair and not the BB1 diary room one?

It's deffo the BB1 chair. I think it's just a way of saying it's a 'rebirth of Big Brother'.

What did Rylan say on This Morning peeps?

[Greg!]

Come on guys where's all the optimism man??
http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/NCLulz/Charley%20Uchea%20Album/charley1.gif

[zakman440]

Rylan's on This Morning now, so there may still be more to come.

[Daniel.]

No point in being optomistic when it's gonna be jsut as bad as 15 and 16 because the producers are thick

[Greg!]

I'm optimistic not realistic
http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/NCLulz/Charley%20Uchea%20Album/charley1.gif

[zakman440]

No mention of BB at all from Rylan.

[Strictly Jake]

Thanks for nothing Rylan!!!!!

[TomC]

Omg it actually on reflection really sounds like Celebs are going in :omgno:

Maybe there is a group of celebs who live in the extension who like wreak havoc over the main house? Why do celebs always have to be involved :(

[TomC]

The run up to BB is too drawn out IMO.

[Babayaro.]

I lost interest after "dark forces" tbh. That was so poorly written :facepalm:

[Rob!]

:think:


I mean I'm totally prepared to give this a go but God only knows what they're planning. I really hope it works out but :worry:

[Jack_]

It's definitely not the US format based off this description, which is a real shame cause that'd be much more preferable and a lot less convoluted than whatever this mess sounds like.

There's definitely going to be two houses and I'd bank on celebs being the 'unknown force' that are controlling the house. Celebrity Hijack 2.0 anyone?

[Moosething]

The reference to BB1 is pretty cool

[Jack_]

Do we actually think that's a deliberate BB1 reference and that the two eyes were the BB12 and 13 ones being smashed though?

I mean it'd be great but are they really that creative enough? I don't think they're that intelligent tbh

[LukeB]

This sound messy.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I get the distinct feeling that it will be

1. more meddling
2. less viewer voting
3. less diary room again
4. very little opportunity for the hms to generate drama based on normal interaction
5. lots of *sigh* twists
6. lots of showing hms what people said about them in confidence

:facepalm:

I hope i am wrong

[LukeB]

Omg yes this is just another excuse for them to do lame twists.

[TomC]

It is definitely the BB1 chair. I've never seen another chair like this.

[Busterowen2]

All of it is a mess this year lol

[arista]

NO BMW Hybrid Car?

[Drew.]

A drama forced series again then, this doesn't excite me

[Firewire]

I have low expectations but the idea is intriguing

[Babayaro.]

NO BMW Hybrid Car?

Oh god, I had forgotten about that. It was such a mess :facepalm:

[zakman440]

Fun fact - you can actually buy the BB1 Diary Room chair!

(For £677 - down from £6770)

[Natalie.]

Can't wait for all the fantastic twists

[Lostie!]

Can't wait for all the fantastic twists

:joker::joker:

[RichardG]

not an ominous dark force, sounds like the promo for a cbbc thriller

[Rob!]

Not the producers paying out for Lord Voldermort :clap1:

[Pete.]

Sounds kinda great and messy except for

From Day One the Housemates will be under attack from an unseen ominous dark force that will have a dramatic and divisive effect on the House

Did a GCSE English student write this?

[Pete.]

I can just tell that the live announcements will be messy. I'm expecting a lightening bolt sound at least 10 times in the launch

[RichardG]

The show girls to perform a dramatic piece ?

[Crimson Dynamo]

lots of "wooooooooooooos"

:facepalm:

[Josiah.]

When I watch the titles come on screen, I am muting the sound so I don't have to hear the crowd go "woop woop" over and over again in the titles.

[Cal.]

Sounds crap

[Cal.]

'Dark force'

So like

'Ooh the star of the show is up for eviction let's have a dark force snatch her nominations and give them to someone else!'

[Marsh.]

Sounds like they got an intern to just write a generic synopsis for a sci-fi film.

Sounds pants.

[andybigbro]

I'm praying it's good!
And doesn't involve celebs :worry:

[Jay28jay2]

I love that I predicted the theme right with the Yin Yang <3

[Cal.]

I'm actually fumed that they've hyped up that they've changed loads when really it's just another crap themed series they just couldn't think of a half decent subtitle

[TomC]

I don't think people really have a right to be angry/disappointed, it's not even started! Give them a chance.

[Cal.]

Yes I have a right to be disappointed when it sounds crap.

[Cal.]

'A dark force' in the BB house can they honestly get a grip

[reece(:]

'A dark force' in the BB house can they honestly get a grip

Sounds like a Power Rangers episode

[Pete.]

Here for a black and white house

[Cal.]

Only hope I have is that Timebomb was nothing like what they said it would be

[TomC]

Yes I have a right to be disappointed when it sounds crap.

It still hasn't started yet. I'm not aiming it directly at you, just in general.

[VanessaFeltz.]

Big Brother is back with a manipulated predictable new series. From Day One the Housemates will be under attack from an unseen ominous dark force which are producers that will have a boring and messy effect on the House. Join Emma Willis live on launch night as the Housemates enter the known. Whilst things may appear to be unstraight Big Brother will ensure that everyone will have the entire picture. There may even more twists than any other series combined? The Housemates are not alone and they should be prepared for face to face nominations and twitter tasks.

Whilst everything may appear to be black and white – that certainly will be the case. Viewers should prepare for a ‘yin and yang’ style force to evolve Big Brother for a new generation. This force will affect the Housemates for bad or for worse. So who will survive the summer and win £100,000? We decide!

Fixed

[Jack_]

Fixed

screaming

[Lostie!]

I'm still excited.

Every year I make the mistake of getting really hyped for the series and I'm not gonna bloody end that tradition now. :hmph:

[Samm]

Don't know why people take these things seriously, they always make it over dramatic, I'll wait for it to begin to cast my judgement :sorry:

[Samm]

Can't post ha but they've updated the cover photo

My GOD at Rylan in the header photo. :worry: So embarrassing.

[TomC]

tbf, it's not him, it's the producers

[Pete.]

He really needs to ****
When the producers said that Emma would be doing the live shows and not him?

[zakman440]

Will it actually be a new set though - or just the old one with a lick of paint as per?

[Mitchell]

The show girls to perform a dramatic piece ?

I'm definitely not going to launch night again if it means more camel toe and netted arses in my face...

[Tregard]

Will it actually be a new set though - or just the old one with a lick of paint as per?

They've built a second, slightly smaller studio onto the side of it.

[Mitchell]

And can someone please point me in the direction of the idiot who told Rylan to wrap toilet paper round his suit jacket and play with a sledgehammer

[Marsh.]

They've built a second, slightly smaller studio onto the side of it.

That's a new eviction studio.

The BOTS studio is remaining where it always was.

[Marcus.]

That's a new eviction studio.

Here for it! Big Brother: The Farce Awakens?

[T*]

Did a GCSE English student write this?


me

[BB4fan]

I wonder if they'll reveal the housemates in the press before the launch like last year.

[Morgan.]

I wonder if they'll reveal the housemates in the press before the launch like last year.

I thought that was only because of the launch night eviction?

[Guuki]

Emma looks copy-pasted and the whole graphic seems to be fan-made, but I still like it though.
This mirror shattering theme, I like it.

[Macie Lightfoot]

let's be real, the dark and ominous force is Helen
