Launch Date June 1st?

[Redmond]

On the application form for BB9 it states that applicants must be 18 by June 1st 2008.

So I'm guessing that it will not be starting until June.

might not be,that may just be a date for a cut of point for something.They may have just randomly picked that date idk

[Billy]

I think that means it wont start till after June 1

[Noel]

Yeah because they couldnt have a 17 year old in could they?
At least they have more time to make it even better! =D

Thats what I thought but it at least confirms that its going to be AFTER June 1st the show starts.

[BigSister]

could be july or even august but yeah ium guessing that means it wont start until then

[Conor]

I'd say they are going to cut way back on BB this summer. C4 doesnt seem too interested in it any more.

If the Applicants must be 18 by June the first I'd say the actuall show would start about a week later. I don't know. 6 - 7th June?

Also, I'd say not to expect daily episodes or as many spin offs this summer.

i did have hope for its starting a bit earlier this year but june 1st isn't too bad lol hopefully it will be just long enough and tonnes better than last year lol

[Sam!]

Woop June 1st is my birthday :)

[Redmond]

Well June 1st is actually a Sunday I believe so it won't actually launch on that day, but saying that the housemates have to be 18 by June 1st means that the series won't be starting until that date or after. It will most likely launch on 4th or 5th of June.

ooooooooo thats interesting

[Joelston]

Because the auditions are so early this year, they don't have a clue what the launch date will be at the moment, so I suppose this is just a rough guess.

They could push it further forward by a few days, or push it further back. Or 1st June could be the launch night. If it's true that evictions for BBCH are moving to Thursday and Sunday, then a SUnday launch would make sense if the eviction night IS moved following it's success this January.

NO every ones got this wrong think about Jennie from BB7 she wasn't 18 until after the launch date so big brother brought her in halfway through

If any thing the show will be starting early as all of the channel 4 imports will run dry by around April because of the writers strike

[Tom]

Jennie also requested that she could finish her exams before she goes in the house

They say June 1st every year so don't expect a June launch, it WILL launch during May like it always does.

Yeah exactly, we don't know what can happen. BB8 started lately.

[Tom]

I wouldn't be surprised if the launch was the 31st May again, or the 24th. Celebrity Hijack shows they favour Thursday launch over Wednesday launch.

I really doubt they will launch it in June.

[Bigbrotherin]

I think it could still start in May, as they would just put in the already 18 year olds then and the new 18 year olds later on.

[Bigbrotherin]

I'd like it to start in June though as it would mean more time for preperation and it would mean a later finale so I don't get bored end of August lol.

[Firewire]

June 1st is a Sunday so it more likely t be June 6.
