16 housemates on launch?

[Denver]

So the trailer showed 16 eyes does that mean we are getting 16 launch night celebs

I thought it showed 8 eyes twice but I wasn't paying much attention tbf

I see 2 left black eyes though

16 HMs is and always too much for a CBB, and to think they are doing it on launch night...unless the seriesasts 30-32 days, then it seems reasonable...

[thisisdanny]

But it's only 90 minutes instead of a 2 hour launch, so maybe 16 is pushing it idk

[Ant.]

Plus I'm sure they were all women's eyes so how many men must be entering?

CBB17 seemed to manage it just fine tbf

CBB17 had great casting, and plus the length was 32 days, so the evictions were spread out evenly, but if they were to continue with the 25 day length, be ready for backdoor evictions galore...

[Epic.]

I highly doubt they'd do 25 days in a January series nowadays, especially since men aren't even entering launch night

Agreed Epic, but according to the Big Brother Wiki, the season's going to be 29 days long. I honestly don't know where they got that from, according to Scoop people had been talking about it on various different forums, but as I'm aware the season length hasn't been announced yet.

In regards to the celeb count, the official site, has 12 contestant slots on their housemate page, so I assume that 12 female celebs will be entering on launch night, with maybe a max of 4-5 males coming in at a later date.

They always have 12 slots

[lewis111]

All the eyes in the trailer are left eyes actually, so could be a lot of females going in on launch

[Oaker]

If they didn't bother with a launch night twist then they could probably get 16 in in 90 minute I think

True because they usually take about 15 minutes to get them all gathered on the couch cause none of them can hear Big Brother then they're all too steaming to understand the rules of the twist so it gets explained about 5 times
If they patch that then there's plenty of time

[Nicky91]

wow 16 housemates on launch night :amazed: :clap1:

[y.winter]

16 and it's only the female cast? Dear me, they're going to throw them through every possible back door, aren't they?

[MICHAEL G]

12

[BBUK-Fan]

Is it 12?

[Denver]

12

Unless everyone has 2 left eyes still doesn't explain why they have shown 16 left eyes

[ashlynewhite]

i honestly think they have american female's coming in the day before , so we are seeing less eyes or double eyes to fill in for them, natalie nunn was a big rumor once but she had a baby, now her child is 1 years old and she is coming to the U.K dec.31st , could natalie nunn be the fiesty american female this year.... possibly
