Yes this. I hope people tune in to find out who our housemates are. It's a great bunch imo. I'm certain they'll have a blast and be very entertaining. Potentially if he has a little free time after housemates enter I'd love to see some early Benjibet odds. Depends on his schedule :love:

Hello again! Just popping in less than an hour prior to launch with Josiah!
I'm about to tag potential viewers if you don't mind. Hope that's OK? :love:
We've worked hard and would really appreciate some audience members. If you're interested then join us at 8pm, see the 2025 housemates enter the house with Josiah hosting. I'll be also tagging some of the housemates in the following list so it's not as simple to work out who's going in. Mwahaha.
Anyway, after the launch it'll be Late and Live in here with me. The house thread and others will be in the Tibb BB sub forum for you to read, in Chat and Games. It won't appear in latest threads like this one will, but please have a look, see who you fancy supporting etc.
Also I'd encourage you to (if you feel inclined to do so) to create threads about your liked and not so much things about the series, heck even fanclubs if you want to. That'd be great.

Hello! Kate here, kicking off the very first edition of Late and Live for Tibb BB 2025 with a song
FDc2Wops0bs
Good evening. So we have a fresh and lively bunch of 7 housemates currently in our Tibb BB house. I'm sure they'll all bring their A games and have a lot to offer. Who'll stick it out till the end? Time will tell.
Room for another? Well that remains to be seen...watch this space carefully.
Tonight I'm gonna interview last year's winner Benjamin who'll be bringing us all the odds throughout the series via BenjiBet.
Also I caught up for a quick chat with former finalist Cherie to get her take on things.
Let's crack on.
Kate!
12-04-2025, 07:52 PM
Interview with current champion Benjamin
1. What would you like to see in Tibb BB 2025? People being competitive, brutal and not just floating along.
2. Which roles do you think certain housemates may take on? Jones will be the house bitch/bully, Maru the house guru, and Barry will be the house mess aka Kitten
3. What would get your votes? To win - Someone who’s been smart and played the game well.
To get my vote for eviction - lack of participation.
4. Which task would you like to revisit from last year? The 12 hour radio DJ task.
5. First evictee prediction? Nicky only because I think everyone will nominate him in round 1.
6. Early winner prediction? Jones. But I guess it all depends on how they all play the game.
7. Do you think anyone will walk this year? They better not, it’s disappointing if they do.
8. If you could have chosen your entrance and exit songs last year what would they have been?
Cheeky girls entrance. Wedding march for exit.
9. What have you been doing since your victory last year?
Coke and bitches
10. What sort of odds will you be offering on Benjibet this year? Info please?
Ben and Kate to argue - 1/2
Kate to piss in the bin again - 2/1
Kate!
12-04-2025, 07:54 PM
A chat with former finalist Cherie
1. What would you like to see in Tibb BB 2025?
Arguments, back stabbing, fun
2. Which roles do you think certain housemates may take on?
Maru will be Mum, Vanessa will be the best friend ... DeD might be Dad
3. What would get your votes?
Depends on whether its vts or vte
4. Which task would you like to revisit from last year?
The TiBB Radio task was fun
5. First evictee prediction?
Ray
6. Early winner prediction?

First supporter. Nice to see Barry has a fan already.

12-04-2025, 08:08 PM
Guys I’m in the camera run so I need to whisper. But here’s what I see so far.
Sophitia, Vanessa and Shauny are on the sofas talking.
Ray is picking his nose and offering it to Jones. He accepted it. Defo bromance on the cards here!
Barry looks likes he’s had enough already as Nicky is shouting at him about Eurovision.
I can’t see Jake, maybe he’s in the diary room?

This evening....Sunday, we'll be talking to some guests giving first impressions of our housemates. Mini interviews, friends and family. 1 guest per housemate. It'll be fun.
…great launch…:love:…and lovely to see all of the housemates ticking along beautifully together…is all of that about to change when Ray cooks the broccoli lunch, though…?…he’s about to broc their BB world…
…good luck housemates…:love:..I haven’t got a favourite yet, you’re all rubbish…ARE WE NOT ENTERTAINED…!!!!!!…no not yet, but hopefully by the end of the day…

Hello and welcome. So it's the evening of the first full day in the house.
I'll start with mini interviews of friends and family.
Same 2 questions per housemates loved one....
Kate!
13-04-2025, 07:03 PM
The 8 housemates are settling in nicely and bonds are beginning to form. Who are you loving? Please share your thoughts and impressions?
We have a selection of friends and family in the studio with me, here to answer a couple of questions about their loved ones and give you some insights and perceptions.
Here goes.
So let me introduce them all.
We have, in no particular order....
Maru's friend Sebastian
Ray's friend Kyle
Jones friend Maisie
Nicky's friend Holly
Ness's cousin Roberto
Dog's work colleague Isabella
Jake's work colleague Danielle
And
Barry's Auntie Tabitha
Hello guys!!
Here are the mini interview questions
What will they bring to the house in a few words?
Sebastian (for Maru) Peace, love, patience and understanding, she's just downright lovely
Kyle (for Ray) Witty quips, humour and a light hearted approach the majority of times
Maisie (for Jones) A very definite and positive can do attitude. A team player and good leader
Holly (for Nicky) A touch of drama and tons of enthusiasm, he likes living life to the full
Roberto (for Ness) Passionate streak, she radiates joy. Takes immense pleasure in helping others
Isabella (for Dogeatdog) General affability and will always extend the hand of friendship, able to relate to all walks of life
Danielle (for Jake) Lots of determination, matched by an inner core of strength, he'll go the distance with a smile
Tabitha (for Barry) he has the lovable factor in spades, extremely approachable and warm hearted. The world needs more of Barry.
Kate!
13-04-2025, 07:04 PM
Why should your housemate win?
Sebastian - Maru is mother earth personified, very Zen like. She'll have them all eating out of the palm of her hands. A dignified true lady.
Kyle - Ray is the life and soul of any situation. Very entertaining and he has a self deprecating wit. Never takes himself too seriously. He'll bring his A game.
Maisie - Jones has perseverance written all over him. Very intelligent. He gives his all, 100% in in every way. He's a people person and you can't help but like him.
Holly - Nicky is a deep thinker, very kind and sweet. Can be misunderstood.sometimes, but he's very loyal and says the nicest things when people really to hear them.
Roberto - Ness is known for wearing her heart on her sleeve. She's warm,.empathetic and more than capable of sneaking into your affections. Could be the nations sweetheart.
Isabella - Shaun/Dogeatdog is truly great at making friends and a very positive influence. He represents an amazing role model, yet is very modest at the same time.
Danielle - Jake stands no nonsense, he's a born entertainer with great organisational skills, valuable attributes in the BB house indeed. A true gem.
Tabitha - Barry is just cool. He has overcome a lot of trials and tribulations in his life to date. Resilient describes him well,.he bounces back every time. Setbacks don't phase him.
Kate!
13-04-2025, 07:08 PM
Tomorrow we will have our first round of nominations plus a very popular past task.
Team work will be of the essence.
Hopefully soon we'll have a report from the camera runs courtesy of Benjamin
Meanwhile I can report that housemate Jake has been added to the mix.
Kate!
13-04-2025, 07:09 PM

13-04-2025, 07:14 PM
Finally I'd like to mention for the benefit of the housemates that Josiah as Big Brother is available in the Diary Room (pm him) for anything you want to.say in there. Entries will be posted after the series ends unless you request them not to be.
Benjamin
13-04-2025, 07:15 PM
Evening all, your favourite winner here!
I’m back in the camera run spying on these odd little creatures.
Currently Vanessa looks like she’s making pizzas for them all. She just sneezed and didn’t wash her hands. Good luck the house eating those pizzas!
The bromance between Jones and Ray continues. They had a little arm wrestle earlier which Ray won. They then helped each other pluck their chest hairs.
Shauny was giving Jake a house tour and discussed sleeping arrangements.
And Barry looks like he’s had enough. Nicky’s still shouting at him about Eurovision.
Josiah.

The housemates have been given their first task of the series. How do you all think they will fare?

14-04-2025, 07:45 PM
Whilst you all wait, I’ve snuck back into the camera run.
Vanessa is currently dj’ing the entire discography of Iron Maiden.
Ray, and Jones are in the hot tub bitching about Jake’s music choices earlier in the day. I just heard the words basic bitch used. Poor Jake.
Sophitia appears to be napping.
Barry had to lie down on the floor as Nicky is still ranting at him still about how Sweden shouldn’t win Eurovision again. Looks like Barry is praying for BB to call him to the diary room.

Thanks James for your assistance in making it happen! Very appreciated.

No I meant talking about how they work (I know they’re revealed tomorrow).
I’ll update the odds shortly. :)
Kate!
14-04-2025, 07:55 PM
So as for nominations, well they have been announced and 3 housemates have nominated so far. Results after 5pm tomorrow at the latest. Yes thank you Ben, just read your post.
Kate!
14-04-2025, 07:58 PM
Housemates will nominate 2 people, their first choice will be allocated 2 points and their second choice will get 1 point. Anyone failing to nominate will get an automatic 3 point penalty.
After all noms are in, the 3 or more housemates with the most points against them will face the vote.
Now, further to this, once the vote is open the Tibb public have a choice between voting to save and voting to evict.
Josiah.

So, this is very exciting with the change for the nominations, but there's going to potentially be a lot more tactical nominations.

It’s blue. Odds shortening (means more likely to happen). I can use a different colour if easier?
Kate!
14-04-2025, 08:02 PM
So Tibbers when you vote from the nominees you can specify whether you are voting to save or evict your chosen housemate(s)
Josiah would you care to add to this?

14-04-2025, 08:04 PM

No no it's fine I can see it's a different colour it's just with shades I can't see the difference between blue and purple as long as I can see it's different to the red words it's fine. Thanks Benjamin :hee:

More about the Task....
So it started at noon, which was a relief to Josiah and I, we were having kittens until Jones stepped to the plate to kick it off successfully, and he kept it going heroically until others arrived. Vanessa.had confirmed she could participate from 6pm due to work. In fact work commitments were a snag but we understand totally that this needs to be taken into consideration and respect it.

The task.
So in the end everyone mucked in, some couldn't do much due to the aforementioned work commitments but hopefully that'll be OK, and accepted as reasonable.
Kate!
14-04-2025, 08:17 PM
Josiah and I can't elaborate too much as the task isnt yet over, but effort has been great, and it's of little importance in the greater scheme of things who did what. Teamwork is going well. We are happy with everyone in the house no exceptions. Xx

Dark green I get mixed with brown
Light green with yellow
Noted. If I use colours I’ll make sure they’re completely different.

So Tibbers when you vote from the nominees you can specify whether you are voting to save or evict your chosen housemate(s)
Josiah would you care to add to this?

Hang on, I'll get Josiah to expand. The.full explanation is in the promotional video but I'll get him to come in here.
Josiah
Can you advise Ben
Josiah.

So Ben and Glenn, this series, you can vote to save and vote to evict.
This series, you will have 10 votes in a PM, and you can dole out those votes in any way. (e.g. 3 votes to save Nominee A, 3 votes to save Nominee B, and 4 votes to evict Nominee C)
On the voting graphs, save votes will show as positive percentages (e.g. 18.31%) and evict votes will show as negative percentages (e.g. -2.77%). The votes will be merged, and the person with the most evict votes or fewest save votes will be evicted.
You will be able to vote once per day; which means for this first eviction, you will be able to send a set of votes tomorrow and a set of votes on Wednesday.

Guys I’m still having to whisper as I’m stuck in the camera run as there’s an argument going on outside.
Shauny seems completely oblivious as he’s banging his heart out to garage bops.
But Ray seems to have heard and is currently at the door with a glass to his ear. Just heard him beckon Jones and Shauny to come listen
Shh. I think I can hear shouting on the other side of the wall. It sounds like a producer and a viewer yelling at one another about voting procedure in years prior lol
Benjamin is amazing. Best winner. Ever. I wish I was like him.
Oop think the housemates just clocked me in the camera run
Benjamin
14-04-2025, 10:06 PM
Reporting still from the camera run as I’m too scared to come out. What I wouldn’t give for those dried apricots Shauny is eating.
Looking out to the studio, the producer and viewer are still going strong at it. The viewer just threw a wet sock at her face. The producer has just called security.
I fear I may be here for a while. Hopefully the housemates find a way to provide me food and drink.
Benjamin

Hold me.
Benjamin
14-04-2025, 10:18 PM
Still reporting live from the camera run but tonight’s hot topic isn’t the housemates.
The producer and a viewer are having a row in the studio. It just took a notch up. The producer told the viewer he looks like a big toe. He responded by throwing faeces at her. Awful mess. It hit the fan and pebble dashed the audience, friends and family. I hope nobody is allergic to peanuts.
Benjamin
14-04-2025, 10:24 PM
Ok viewers, I think it may be safe for me to leave the camera run now. Signing off for the night. Stay groovy and go check out Sophitia’s dance bangers in the house.

Reposting this here. Please read.
HOUSEMATES!!
I need you each to pm me individually preferably today if possible please. It's preparation for a task you'll be doing in the near future.
I'd like you to think of two names for racehorses. You mustn't use anything that would give away your identity. You may speculate about the task but under no circumstances reveal your chosen horse names. That's between you and I, and of course Josiah.
Thank you. I'll post a reminder later tonight if anyone hasn't seen this. jones89 Nicky91 Dogeatdog Ray. Strictly Jake Maru Barry.

15-04-2025, 07:07 PM
So there are 4 lovely housemates hoping not to leave the BB house just yet and your votes are extremely important.
Voting is via PM to Josiah.
Recap. You get 10 votes per pm. You may send 1 pm tonight and 1 pm tomorrow. It's a choice between voting to evict, save or a mixture of the 2. You can use all your votes on one housemate or split them. For example.l you could give one housemate 3 votes to save, one housemate 3 votes to evict, another 2 votes to save and the 4th housemate 2 votes to evict. Any combination is ok as long as it is 10 votes in total.
Got it? Hope so
Please get those pms to Josiah coming in. It'll really be appreciated.
Kate!
15-04-2025, 07:11 PM
Let's turn our attention to today's mini task.
5 housemates took part in a song posting challenge. They had to take turns to.post, and respond using only song titles. Not as easy as it sounds. They did very well however, collectively earning 390 points.
Here's the breakdown
Vanessa 120
Jake 110
Maru 70
Dogeatdog 60
Nicky 30
Kate!
15-04-2025, 07:16 PM
Sneak look at a future task
Today the housemates were asked to think up names for racehorses, for task purposes, details will be revealed in due course.
Viewer participation will be necessary as well, the more that take part the better tbh.
All I can add for now is that Tibb currency will be used. You'd 'better' believe it.
Kate!
15-04-2025, 07:21 PM

Voting is still open until 7:30pm. To everyone who hasn't voted yet (or hasn't given their second set of votes), it would be great if you could vote.
To those who haven't sent votes, you don't have to specifically do 5 save votes to X and 5 evict votes to Z, or 5 votes to save Y and 5 votes to save Z. You can dole your votes out in any way you like, like the vote splitting mentioned a couple pages back or even giving all 10 votes to save or evict someone (a couple of people have done that already).

Soooooo, it's a brief glimpse tonight for Late n Live
I'll keep it short and sweet.
The housemates are delighted now they've discovered it was a fake eviction, and they all live to fight another day.
A task has been previewed for tomorrow. Getting To Know You.
I'm currently mid preparations and the timing of the task will be confirmed ASAP.

Welcome to Thursday evenings Late and Live.
We've got a few things lined up to discuss.
Today's task results, tomorrow's task news and nominations time in the evening, with a Monday eviction. And this time....IT'S FOR REAL!!
Also Josiah Big Brother will be popping into.the camera runs for us as Benjamin is incapacitated:joker:
Kate!
17-04-2025, 08:27 PM
Today's task results
So the lovely housemates were "getting to know you" and learning new and surprising things about their fellow 'inmates'.
It was guesswork galore and much fun was had.
Vanessa shocked herself by getting 4 correct answers and Barry and Ray even managed 5 apiece gaining them an extra 50 contribution points individually and boosting the group total into the bargain.
Great job all round.
Kate!
17-04-2025, 08:31 PM
Tomorrow's agenda!
Firstly the task. Horses For Courses as we've named it.
The 8 housemates have all chosen racehorse names (2 each) to represent them in the Tibb Races. Thread will be posted between 9am and 10am (tbc)
We really need viewer participation so pop in if you have a spare minute or 5 and have a bet.
More information tomorrow.
Kate!
17-04-2025, 08:33 PM
And now for nominations news. These will take place tomorrow and someone will DEFINITELY leave on Monday. But who's gonna face the vote and how will it go? Share your thoughts?..
It could be for the tiniest reasons, or even...shock horror...tactical voting. We shall see.
Kate!
17-04-2025, 08:34 PM
That's all from me. Over to Josiah.
Josiah.
17-04-2025, 08:37 PM
Now, since Ben's away; time for the main host to do some snooping around the camera runs.
I did snoop around the camera runs earlier today, and I heard some of the housemates chatting in the living room talking about cats. Let's hope they didn't talk about the 2019 movie adaptation of the musical "Cats".
Currently, I can see the housemates are celebrating the passing of their task; and they've got plenty of food.
Someone's currently in the store room and just let out a massive fart. Gosh, it reeks in there now.
Anyways, the housemates will soon be going to bed and preparing for both tomorrow's task and nominations.
Off to the Voice of God booth I go, but until then... Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow; and remember, Someone is Always Watching.

For the third task this series, we have a interesting one and it involves a horse race.
Housemates have selected horses to represent them in "The TiBB Towers Race". There are a total of 16 horses for this task.
To those watching from the viewers' lounge, the horses are ready and you need to bet on them. Each viewer has a pot of TiBB currency to the value of 500 TiBB pounds. You may bet small amounts throughout task or even the full amount in one go, or you may split your money between a few horses or just choose one to splurge on.
Housemates must do their part of the task in the Task thread, discussing with each other and doing play-by-play announcements whilst the horses race.
The viewers can do their bidding in the Viewers' Lounge and follow along.
When the task ends, Josiah and I will add up all the money that has been gambled on each horse. The housemate represented by the winning horse wins the task and gets rewarded with 500 contribution points.
The task begins at 10am and will end at 4pm.
Good luck housemates and viewers! Big Brother is watching.

I didn’t say it was deep, it just wasn’t explained what we were actually betting for. :laugh:

Maybe make that clearer so just so there’s no confusion. I didn’t really get the horse task. No offence, I appreciate the concept of it but I also think you need to factor in housemates real lives and timings. Like tasks should ideally last 24 hours so each housemate has a chance to play it. Same for nominations etc.

I'm literally sick of being criticised today. We don't have the time even between two of us to make tasks 24 hours for a start
I think we are doing extremely well.
I'm literally exhausted as I've just explained to someone else. I run a home and family as well.

I’m not being mean.
I know you work hard at the tasks but you also want maximum participation so your hard work wasn’t for nothing. You need to be flexible with your players and their lifestyles so you get the best out of all the tasks you’ve created.
You also need to make sure it’s clear. It may be clear to you as you’ve created and know the vision, but for players it isn’t always so best to check with them all they understand before the task begins.

Kate this is what I’m trying to get at. It’s more fun if we can all take part. I feel like Ray would’ve been hilarious for the radio task but didn’t get to take part because of work commitments (which isn’t your fault) but if we had a little heads up that this task was gonna happen on so or so date, maybe he could’ve taken part?
Just to reiterate, I know that you and Josiah are working hard for this game so please don’t take what I’m saying to personal because that isn’t my intention.
Benjamin
18-04-2025, 05:40 PM
Again, to reiterate this isn’t me being a dick.
I want you and Josiah to have a great game, but you need to remember players also put in a lot of work and have busy lives.
Kate!
18-04-2025, 05:44 PM
No. I've repeatedly stressed to the eyeballs that I inderstand you all have lives completely but as I've already said, we have a start and end date for the game, we have to fit everything in and its not possible to please everybody all the time. We do give advance notice as much as possible in every way. I've more to say but I'm in the midst of housework so it will have to wait.
Josiah.
18-04-2025, 05:45 PM
Ben and Shauny, I even understand why you both are saying that. And that's another reason why there's weekend breaks in the game this time around.
We're not trying to take things personally, it's just hard to take in a lack of participation when we've got so much happening at once with people's schedules.
We will do better to notify everyone ahead of time; and for that reason, I'll start by putting the upcoming tasks in the OP of the Highlights & Summary thread.
Benjamin
18-04-2025, 05:55 PM
Just to reiterate I’m not being mean.
I want you to have an amazing game. You’re busy but so are players. You work hard on creating tasks and you want them to be fully appreciated. To do that you need most/all players to be able to participate in them but also need to accommodate their lifestyles/day to day lives.

It is NOT possible to set dates and times in stone. Things happen. Its a two way street. 24 hours tasks are not an option for a start.
Kate!
18-04-2025, 05:58 PM
I'll repeat. I personally notified everyone with 25 hours notice of what would be required today and nobody came to me and said there'd be a problem.
Benjamin
18-04-2025, 05:59 PM

Then maybe you need to rework some tasks to accommodate players so your tasks you make can be fully played and appreciated.

Our tasks are always fully detailed and I usually ask for any questions. Today's task was not confusing and only got adapted as we were trying to accommodate everyone. I had to virtually beg people to place bets and support the game and then I had to resort to letting housemates bet.

Thank you Josiah. It’s just better if everyone can take part in the tasks and makes for a fairer game and if we can tweak the tasks a little for that to happen it would be great. Like I said I meant no disrespect.
Also apologies as I’ve posted in this thread twice and I’m aware I’m not allowed to. (Does this mean I get a formal warning from BB? :laugh:)

Yeah but we’re all busy too. It’s Good Friday, and a small window of time a lot of members won’t be on to see.
I know you say 24 hour tasks are not possible, but they are honestly better. Not saying people need to be on at 3am (as all nighters in this day and age on the forum are too hard) but having 24 hours to complete a task gives you a bigger window to capture more players and forum users time.
Again, this isn’t me coming for you. But you want your tasks to be played and your efforts for them to pay off, a bigger window of time gives you that.

We have an end date in place. We do not have time to make tasks 24 hours, when they really don't need that amount of time. We need to fit all our plans in

Then stop moaning people haven’t participated if you won’t be accommodating.

To try and accommodate everyone (and to give some breathing room), the series is being extended by 3 days to 5 May 2025.
This means that instead of 22 days long, this series will be 25 days long.

Is that better.

I will be giving them details of a game they can play at approx 7pm.

Viewers, to keep things as simple as possible (and to not have any confusion about voting)...
All Evict votes have been discarded, and the voting for the rest of the series from now on is Vote to Save.
But all other voting rules (Voting once per day, 10 votes per PM) still apply. Please see the updated voting details post on Page 9 or click here. (https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showpost.php?p=11633405&postcount=213)

So let's get straight into it. We have a viewer interview tonight. Please welcome our very own lovely Niamh.
Kate!
20-04-2025, 07:14 PM
Niamh's interview
1. What words of encouragement would you like to give each of the nominees?
Jake - stay classy
Jones - stay pumped
Shaun - stay strong
Maru - stay positive
2. What type of tasks would you like to see?
House divide tasks
3. Pick a treat you'd like to give the housemates?
Letters from home
4. If you could give a few words of advice to the housemates what would you say?
Trust no one
5. Who would you tip as the early potential winner?
Shauny
6. The housemates will be teamed up for the next Task. A round of Only Connect. How would you do and who would you like to be teamed with?
I think I'd enjoy that one, I'd want to be teamed with Ray because he always gets perfect scores in that Connection game
7. What do you think of our Contribution points feature whereby housemates will gain votes to save in the final by passing tasks?
Hhhmmm I'm on the fence about it as it's usually the publics choice for BB but maybe not enough people are voting
8. If you were in there with these housemates what role would you take?
The grumpy grandmother probably
Kate!
20-04-2025, 07:15 PM
Thank you Niamh. Wonderful!
Kate!
20-04-2025, 07:20 PM
Onwards....
So the housemates are celebrating Barry's birthday and Shauny earlier requested champers which was promptly delivered to the Diary Room amongst other things!
They are making merry and playing a game whereby they count to 10 and then the tenth poster in the chain asks a Most Likely question.
So far they've decided that Nicky or Ray is most likely to be arrested and Nicky is most likely to cheat on their partner.
Whatever next? Pop into the house thread to find out!
Kate!
20-04-2025, 07:23 PM
The voting for the first official eviction is underway and the responses have been good. But we'd like more so please keep them coming, and remember you can vote again tomorrow.
