Is anybody else finding the twist far-fetched?
 

I don't know, but it just feels a tad contrived to me. Like how it's all working together perfectly. How the Others have connections with the main housemates and vice versa yet they applied to be on BB the same year. The main housemates talking about the Other they are connected with in depth during the audition process - like why would anybody go on about their ex or old friend when applying for BB? Chelsea and Jayne supposedly falling out a few weeks ago when the BB auditions were months ago?

I can't figure out how they've made the connections.

Did they headhunt Jason because they had secured Charlie, or vice versa?

The same goes for the other two.




Then again I don't understand how the housemates are not aware of a second house when it's been on social media for a good few months.

The main housemates not even questioning who is actually targeting them

It's all just a little bit strange.

Yeah it is very strange

Id be really anoyed if it's all fake

I agree, Jayne and Chelsea falling out just before BB started made me think how is that even possible and a tad strange. I don't think the all the housemates know just the ones who have connections.

I still think the twist was unnecessary anyway to be honest, you could have just sent the twelve housemates in on Tuesday, the three connections on Friday and still get the same effect. I know they've put a lot of money and effort into the second house but I just find it pointless.

Exactly. I mean you could even tell by the fact that the stairs had two ways on launch night and they went through one way. It just doesn't feel right at all.

In terms of the head hunt thing that would mean one of them would have to have known about the other - which they didn't cause Charlie didn't know Jason was in the main house till they showed the VT and well the main don't know about the Others so Jason doesn't know about Charlie

How can they not hear Ryan shouting his mouth off?

It is all contrived and given that the 2nd house was being built and known about for months, the main house would need to have no brain cells at all to not acknowledge its existence .... at all :laugh:

I believe all bar 2? of the housemates were invited to take part in the show, so its all been manufactured over the last few months to fit a story line

Yes, it's almost like they are taking the mickey out of the viewers.

It's all very cloak & dagger by the way they've put this to us.

Also another thing r.e Chelsea and Jayne falling out a few weeks back - let's say they fell out 2 or 3 weeks ago for instance (cause Jayne kept implying it was quite recent). Surely the housemates get the call that they've become Big Brother housemates about a 4/5 weeks prior to the launch (sometimes even longer), so they hadn't even fallen out when they found out they were housemates unless C5 recruited them last minute or something.

Am I overthinking this? :worry:

Don't you also find it a little convenient that these are all very recent "relationships" in the last few weeks, all after they knew they were going to be on the show

Yeah, didn't Jason split up with the botox queen just recently?

I hate that this sh*te show is masquerading under the guise of Big Brother.

Good point. They could've gotten people who'd split up like 3 years ago or something - that would also make them more surprised given they probably haven't seen them in years.

Judging by how 'recent' these relationships were they were probably all still together when the eye was revealed :idc:

I'm more and more convinced that some housemates are just paid to play a role by the producers. It's inevitable.

I find it really contrived also. But I've never understood how they manage to get people related on the same show without each other knowing. It seems scripted to me?

And the housemates have probably spoken about a second house but they're literally hiding everything from us this year apart from what appears in the highlight shows so they can literally present us with anything they want.

Love the others twist but couldn't care less about the estranged couples....i hope it doesn't give those three the advantage over Natalie, Andrew and Hughe...

Clock it!

Probably why they axed the nightly LF this series then :bored:

This year more than they've ever done before they're doing their best to make sure fans have less knowledge of whats going on and being said in the house. Hardly any updates or decent videos and rushed highlights. It's almost like they're doing their hardest to make sure we don't find out things

They're doing a crap job tbf

I thought all Others would have had connections it's very random that only 3 do.

Well yes, that's a great point Ross. :joker:

Yeah they're just being nominated randomly and they're like "ah well...what's for dinner". Who do they think is behind it all?

Im not sure really, like I doubt many of them knew about the extension unless they were fans of the show.

I doubt they know if there relatives were in the house, i'm sure most it was standard questions that everyone gets asked, like have you had past relationships etc.

And producers could just look through their FB to find out the names of the people ex's probably.

I'm sure someone has mentioned it in the house, there's probably loads of theories spinning round like most years. I'm sure they will have discussed the possibilities of more HM's entering etc.

I can't see any paranoia happening whatsoever... Big Brother's looking a little silly right now. :laugh:

I mean they don't even search the housemates' social media accounts to get an idea of how they are as a person / what racist/homophobic/bigoted views they may hold so I'd rule out the BIB

Yeah perhaps, they might have just mentioned the ex's name when discussing it in auditions.

But wouldn't they need more information though? Like you could easily say in your audition "oh I dated this girl called Charlie...she was awful blah blah", but there's hundreds of thousands of other women called Charlie - surely they'd need her surname, as well as other information such as contact details etc and why would anybody mention all that when discussing their ex during the auditions apart from the first name of that person?

there is one thing we know about BB contestants. They like talking about themselves, themselves, themselves. Who on earth mentions ex's BY NAME :joker:

It's Channel 5 so not really :p

I actually like how it's playing out because the housemates in The Other House are doing a good job and are coming across quite entertaining and fun to watch.

I guess they could have used their family members to contact the exs. I'm sure all HMs give like there parents contact or a close friend incase anything serious happened.

On the application it asks for links to your social media and that is most likely how they've done it.

I don't think the both of them applied. I think Jason did and then they asked Charlie if she'd like to apply like they've done to a lot of people.

That sounds plausible - although I wonder if C5 are that smart. :laugh:

But then doesn't that bring into question about how recent all these break-ups were? (I think - Idk how long Charlie and Jason have been broken up for) but all these people seemed like they only split up like a month or so ago. Auditions for BB were back in January/February.

I'm sorry but C5 need to release a lengthy statement about this like they did after Helen won!

I'm sure I heard someone say they have been very clever about doing this all with the relatives, it might have been Emma.

Nah, I think people are just thinking too much into it

It was Rylan but I'd think it would be pretty easy to do. Most people put everything on social media.

Jason auditions. They ask him about his past relationships and his recent one. He says his ex was a nightmare. They find him on Facebook and see that his last ex was Charlie. They call her for an audition and she says Jason was a nightmare.

That's just one theory but it's pretty simple

If you believe things like that which come out from Emma's mouth, then you'll believe anything. Who's the person who's been bigging up every crap twist they've done in the past two years? Obviously she's not going to say they've done a crap job :laugh:

Probably am tbh.
