A weird mix sounds good. Looking forward to it.

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

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

“Ziggeh stick oop for meh!”

:joker:

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

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

I love BB8

(no, I actually do :love:)

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

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

:joker:

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.

wait didn’t someone predict this djdbfhfbb

Here for Real Housewives of CBB

Keep the males out

Here for it

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

I take it you didn’t read the op

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.

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.

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

I’m kind of surprised they are doing it since the show loves showmances storylines.

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.

the what

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

:clap1:

Tulisa and Anne Widdecombe are coming :clap1:

I don't really see the point tbh
