January CBB announcement

[Mitchell]

In January 2018, as the nation marks 100 years since women won the right to vote for the very first time, Celebrity Big Brother launches this series with an all-female cast of celebrity housemates in a salute to a centenary of women’s suffrage on Channel 5.

Presented by Emma Willis, Celebrity Big Brother will initially explore how the all-female housemates interact, from politicians to performing artists, as they enter the house first, ahead of the celebrity male housemates.

Over the course of the series, as the male counterparts enter the house, the housemates will take part in a series of entertaining tasks and hidden experiments which will test their - and our - assumptions, challenge gender stereotypes and reveal fascinating truths about what it is to be a woman - and man - in the 21st century. See what happens when women hold the power, as Celebrity Big Brother January 2018 is set to be celebratory, surprising and insightful.

Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On the Side will return weeknights with Rylan Clark-Neal.

[Eddie.]

Proof?

[Mitchell]

Channel 5 have just sent it as a press release saying another announcement tomorrow, so I’m guessing the fansites will pick up on it shortly

[SuperV]

Interesting concept. so... BB8

[Cal.]

Love it!

Charley the second coming?

[SuperV]

So if presenter photos are being released this afternoon does that mean the eye will be tomorrows announcement?

[Denver]

Must be a 6 week series with loads of men entering

[Strictly Jake]

Well it’s very BB8

I honestly would have liked the whole series be with an all star female cast then at least we don’t have any annoying showmances

[lewis111]

I get that BB8 didn't really work but C5 pick really good celeb females and if it's a cast of about 12 and no more I think this series will be incredible

[Eddie.]

I found this idea sh!t last time, but now I'm actually quite pumped!

This makes it sound quite good but it's CBB and we know what they're like, I can't help think they're just after cat fights and titillation and they're just using all this "salute to a centenary of women’s suffrage" stuff as a publicity stunt.

[Greg!]

kind of perched! Bet the ratings flop like BB8 though.

[RichardG]

this will flop

and i'm sure c5 already know that

[Denver]

Rylan has said its a weird mix of women

[arista]

Proof?

Ryan just confirmed it
on ITV 1HD this morning.

[SuperV]

C5 should just make this season the return of the icons

- Gemma Collins
- New York
- Kim Woodburn
- Charlotte Crosby
- Carol McGiffon
- Trisha Paytas
- Brandi Glanville

[Saph]

no gemma collins, im sick of seeing her everywhere

[Wizard.]

An interesting concept! But it’ll be like BB18 where they try and make things political and the ratings won’t be good. God knows how tacky the eye will be (I bet it’s pink) and it seems to suit Summer CBB more but time will tell.

[TiBB Frontpage Article]

James has posted a new TiBB frontpage article.

Channel 5 have confirmed that the January 2018 Celebrity Big Brother series will begin with all-female housemates, to mark 100 years of womens' suffrage. Male housemates will enter later.

For week one (from C5 press release):

[i]In January 2018, as the nation marks 100 years since women won the right to vote.....

Excerpt of article quoted above. Read full article here - http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/cbb21-2018/news-331651/series-to-begin-with-all-female-housemates-channel-5-confirm.html

[Niamh.]

I hated when they did that in BB8

[supertv247]

The difference between this and BB8 is that it's a condensed CBB and on Channel 5, so expect them to start dropping guys in by the second hour.

[Eddie.]

I hated when they did that in BB8

.
but BB8 had the best female casting ever. It was just the way they executed it...

[Strictly Jake]

Do you think we have a chance of getting davina?


Hasn't she split up from her husband who was the reason she wouldn't do it previously

[Lostie!]

A burning bra in the centre instead of a star?

[Brother Leon]

Show is Canceled then.

[Denver]

Show is Canceled then.

Not a woman hater :omgno:

[Brother Leon]

Not a woman hater :omgno:

Not at all, but an all Female or Male house is just stupid. It's bound to flop even more and be the final nail in the coffin.

[LukeB]

At least we won’t get a showmance and a dull person won’t be saved on their looks. Idk if this would work but we will see

[hijaxers]

Rylan has said its a weird mix of women

A weird mix sounds good. Looking forward to it.

[lewis111]

I wonder how many HMs we will see on launch and how many late enterants there will be then??

I assumed if they were going to do this it would be all female the whole way through instead of doing the exact same as BB8

[bitontheslide]

Its not even an original idea. I wasn't going to be able to watch much of the January series anyway, so I will let it flop in peace

[Wizard.]

“Ziggeh stick oop for meh!”

Exactly, I don't see the point, you want as much variety as possible

[Eddie.]

Hasn't she split up from her husband who was the reason she wouldn't do it previously

If Davina comes, overnight ratings would be 4.0 mil. and BB would continue to invest more on the Celeb version than the Civilian

[Headie]

I love BB8

(no, I actually do :love:)

[Headie]

They should just put the BB8 cast in again tbh. Charley, Nicky, Carole, Lesley, Shabz, Trace, Wangers :love:

[caprimint]

Looks like Vanessa won't be watching launch night </3

[montblanc]

“Ziggeh stick oop for meh!”

:joker:

[karl100589]

I've always said the all-female twist could work if done in the right way.

If I was in charge I would make sure the women chosen were strong, independent types from backgrounds without a male presence. Allow them to build a strong heirarchy for 5-7 days, and then send in the first few males (ideally a douchy sexist type ala Kirk Norcross). The appeal would be how long can the women hold their structure in place and how the male reacts in a social situation they're not used to (being dominated by strong women).

The fear I have is they'll go down the BB8 route and choose women who either destroy the society out of cattiness or those who are weak minded and fall for the male.

[T*]

wait didn’t someone predict this djdbfhfbb

Here for Real Housewives of CBB

[reece(:]

Keep the males out

[RileyH]

Jemma Lucy to seduce Frenchy?

Here for it

[Jack_]

A bit embarrassing tbh but if it works then great I suppose

[LukeB]

Not too keen but why an all female? Blatant sexism

Male housemates on the whole have been terrible in the C5 era, plus it eliminates the threat of a showmance.

TBH the only all male reality show that was any good was The Ultimate Fighter.

[reece(:]

You just know they don't care about women's rights, they just want maximum drama which females will provide :fan:

Lesbians can have showmances, just saying. Male housemates haven't been terrible. Some females are overrated

So what if it celebrates 100 years since women won the right to vote?
Are they gonna do one for the end of the apartheid or one to celebrate the legalisation of gay marriage? No.

You have a point but atleast they are adding males at one point

[reece(:]

I'd be here for a CBB full of messy gays.

[BBUK-Fan]

the what

If you don't know what it is then research it

[reece(:]

At least they are adding males but it's not great to just have all female because it's not what BB is mostly about. It's about different sorts of people living in a house together. All female is gonna make the show less interesting and it's unfair to aim at a certain demographic
Yes because a bunch of Brandon Block's make it all the more interesting!

BB is about being a social experiment and the press release says it’s about exploring how all females interact, and as males enter, test gender stereotypes to reveal fascinating truths, which I guess can be seen as an experiment. If they do it right it has potential to be one of the best

[BBUK-Fan]

Yes because a bunch of Brandon Block's make it all the more interesting!

I never mentioned Brandon Block so why associate all the males by one?

But this is Channel 5 so will probably not be one of the best because they won't keep their promise on what the premise of the series is

[Jodie.]

Hm idk, the premise of Secrets and Lies only lasted a week, and that was the highest rated civvy on 5
The premise of Power Trip was kept all the way through, yet is seen as one of the worst

Les just wait and see!

[Jamesy]

Men are getting added in later on so what's the issue? This will basically be the celebrity version of BB8, so it's hardly revolutionary.

Celebrating women's rights, my arse... They'll turn them against one another at the first opportunity.

[luvjustin]

I’m ok with this. I enjoyed BB8. Its create a new dynamic. Showmances or not a group of women and a slow trickle of men will creat friction.

And sexist? Really? Come on whoever is saying that. It’s 2017 I think the world has swayed in favour of men enough over the past milenia to warrant a little reality having an all female cast.

[Ant.]

smh let the women LIVE

Even if Big Brother doesnt give 2 ****s of a donkey's tail about women's rights (which they probably don't!) people will read this and be like "wow 100 years since women took a massive step forward in equality?" and appreciate it and it raises awareness!

alternatively some men are throwing a hissy fit because some boring bloke who was interviewed by Vanessa Feltz in the 90's is entering three days later than the women even though if he joined at launch he would've walked by this point!

It can be really interesting, with the right cast.

But in the end it will an American RTV star who takes nude selfies fighting with a rnadom girl who had sex live on Love Island punching a Page 3 model kicking a kiss-n-tell ex wife who made her fortune from her divorce from a businessman. Not quite feminist I'd say.

[Jason.]

I find the whole drip feeding men in one by one completely pointless and it's what ruined BB8's all-female twist.

If you're going to have an all-female series, then leave it all-female or just don't have one at all? I guess it was different for BB8 as it was a 13 week series, so it couldn't have sustained itself without any males for the entire duration, but even then, they should've just had a separate launch with all the men entering together.

[Jodie.]

a separate launch with all the men entering together.

Honestly I think that’s how they’ll do it, all females entering on the Wednesday and a second launch on Friday with all the males

I guess this is what last night's dream was trying to tell me

I dreamt of Ziggy wasn't sure why as it was random

But meghan markle walked in the room I was in and Ziggy was holding hands with her I thought it was so scandalous but then I ran up to him and said I missed him and he hugged me it was so random

But he was the first male in an all female cast so I guess I predicted it
