BIG BRO EARLY BID TO NICK RIVAL TELLY FANS

by PETER DYKE

BIG Brother 7 is set to start up early to get viewers hooked before the launch of rival telly shows.

The new series of Channel 4's smash hit will begin in three weeks on Thursday, May 18.

It will go on for longer than ever with even more housemates.

Traditionally, the spy-on-the-wall show kicks off at the end of May but teams of celebs headed by Robbie Williams, 32, and Gordon Ramsay, 39, battling it out on the pitch.

That will be followed by a week-long celebrity talent show X Factor: Battle of the Stars.

Stunts

A new series of Love Island in June is tipped to run for around eight weeks. BB7 will run for 13 weeks - the longest in Big Brother history and two weeks more than last year's show, won by Anthony Hutton, 24.

Sixteen housemates are expected to take part - more than ever before.

Yesterday, guinea pig contestants were put into the new-look BB house to spend five days trying out some of the tasks and stunts planned for this summer's series before the real housemates arrive.

I do. for some reason believe this! :thumbs:


After the trial run don't we normally get pictures of the house.

And if its true from other forums there should be a press release tomorrow.

And..no official eye yet...or is that a theme this year, secrecy. :puzzled: who knows? :thumbs:

GirlsNotAloud 27-04-2006 09:55 AM

if it lasted 14 weeks and finished on a friday that would be 100 days of BB, they should just round it up

BigSister 27-04-2006 11:04 AM

im a bit suspicious though its on a thursday its never started on a thursday before unless they could do an eviction first night?

krissybabe06 27-04-2006 11:05 AM

hmm thats what i thought its usually a friday but maybe theyve changed it! i mean its been on the channel 4 news and everything and in all the papers so maybe it is true!:elephant:

amobatty 27-04-2006 12:07 PM

it must be true if its on the channel 4 news and site

Blink_Me 27-04-2006 12:10 PM

13 weeks, hey? 16 housemates, hey? Nah, I'll stop doing the "hey" part.

This just proves the house is going to be bigger if there is 16 housemates.

krissybabe06 27-04-2006 12:10 PM

yeah might be, i doubt the housemates have been told yet though!

krissybabe06 27-04-2006 12:11 PM

but i reckon the housemates arent ever picked around this time and to be honest how does the news know therer 16 if they aint been picked yet?

Blink_Me 27-04-2006 12:13 PM

Usually some people get some inside information before the show starts. They usually pick the people early May, so I guess they've probably have picked the housemates now.

krissybabe06 27-04-2006 12:24 PM

nah theyve definately picked the housemates but wouldnt have rang em 2 confirm it, i wonder whos in it this year!

Blink_Me 27-04-2006 12:33 PM

I don't know. Hopefully they'll be exciting people.:dog:

krissybabe06 27-04-2006 12:34 PM

BigSister 27-04-2006 01:23 PM

i hope theres good people because 16 weeks is along stretch if the people in it arent up to scratch

bambam 27-04-2006 01:27 PM

Personally I'd rather it started on the friday, it's going to be hell dragging myself out of bed on the Friday morning, argh!:sad:

krissybabe06 27-04-2006 01:38 PM

yeah definately i hope they get the right mix of contestants because it'll be on longer than usual! if they focus and ave fun and a gd time they should be fine! i dont think bb would choose any1 who couldnt hack 16 weeks in there!! lol:dance:

BigSister 27-04-2006 02:03 PM

krissybabe06 27-04-2006 04:39 PM

Corkie 27-04-2006 05:03 PM

hopefully its not number one its comes closer and it might be on a thursday but does that matter also its been on channel 4 news so i think this is true

Arneldo 27-04-2006 05:03 PM

I think if BB starts on a thursday - we can expect sumting big on Friday.

But Bad thing is - I love to stay up all night watching the house Live on Launch night but i wudnt be able to because i have School the next day - Damm! lol

But im trying to think good cause - It does mean that BB is closer!

But - Just because its on ch4 news doesnt mean its confimed.

Corkie 27-04-2006 05:12 PM

i do agree that people watch them live but i dont do this i just watch the luanch normally so i think the sooner the better but i was wondering what do they reveal at the press relice as people say there not normally pics of house?

BigSister 27-04-2006 05:41 PM

how long it happens for launch date and time and just basic things rules etc

And aaron I agree over schjool/college thing *points at top of page*
