The series will NOT be depressing, launch brought forwrd, holding page
 

My insider has informed me that the funeral is all very 'tongue in cheek' and not very depressing. The seires will not be based around death. Lets face it, what could they use 'death'- bury housemates alive?!. It's just a bit of fun, laying BB to rest.

Also, the launch is likely to of been moved forward a week, to the 10th of May.

C4 will be prepping the Holding Page this weekend. I pushed for when we would see the eye, when he just responded, "the next time we speak, you'll have seen the eye". However, according to a previous conversation, the eye was going to be released between the 1st and 10th, so it's likely we'll see the eye on Monday (the date I can order my iPad!!!!) along with those exclusive pictures of the BB funeral advert (NOT THE ADVERT ITSELF)

The house is finished, and guinea pigs are either in, or will be going in today or Monday.

I'll push for more information when I can, thanks :)

Do You Mean The Launch Will Be June 10th Not May 10th

lies

I had also heard it was just intended to be something you might compare to the BBUSA All-Star Season.
In that example a rather cool 'retrospective quiz task' had the garden (backyard) turned into a 'Grave Yard'.
HM's (Houseguests) laid in mock graves with mock headstones.

The idea was something along the line of 'burying the past' and this being 'former seasons'.
If anything it was quite comical and therapeutic.

I head BB UK might do a couple of these kinds of themes or look for little 'winks' like the BB eye 'closing' at the end.
it isn't a 'death theme' or a 'seasons theme of dying' or any of this depressing stuff.
Just a few clever nods or tasks or references with a 'closure' theme.

You have to keep in mind - from a marketing, selling, advert psychology view its impossible to 'invite people to see the death of BB'.
Unless it was the final episode,
but,
you can't attract people to something they perceive as 'dying or dead' when they get there for it.

Holding page better be up this weekend, if thats what you meant.

Think we'll get the holding page Monday with the pics.

Are we actually getting pets for the house this year?

WOOO.

What gives you that impression from this thread? Hope I haven't missed something obvious hehe!

Nothing that wasn't already roumered on here.

Great news :thumbs:

Cant wait to see the holding page:hugesmile:

I'm assuming this is confusion about the 'guinea pigs'.

Yea im talking about this.

FFS dude guinea pigs means test housemates, it's a phrase that's been used every year since at least BB5.

Science laboratories use it to refer to any animal or human being used to test a theory, it's a very common term. It's mentioned in the papers and on tv all the time.


This is the second time you've seen it mentioned here and assumed it means pets when it's quite clear it means dummy housemates are you really that bloody clueless?

Anyway if they were to put animals in the house again, not gonna happen btw, the housemates just don't look after them, why the hell would they send them in weeks early when there's no one there to feed them??

Honestly. Bloody hell :eek:.

You are the arse in your avatar and I claim my £5.

i think you ment 10th June haha imagine bb started in 2 days without one single bit of promo !

That would be fantastic, imagine the surprise everyone got, if they just announced BB starting tonight(Monday) on the website, that would be ace:hugesmile:

haha yeah ! the ratings would be terrible though... but yeah great suprise!

Who the fuck do you think your talking too?

You dont even know me, so excuse me if im not fucking fimilar with science terms.

We cant all be perfect.

Yeah 10th June will probably be the date :dance:

Lol , guinea pigs are anything used for testing . Hehe , wow , he gave you a wooping mate !

Like someone else has said, it gives away nothing that we didnt already know about:thumbs:

Also. If the holding page is going up surely it would be done today with tomorrow being Sunday? Unless its gonna be up Monday morning.

So I am guessing a Thursday 10th June launch now? Until Friday 10th September??? mmm..

Patrick to be fair you are a bit thick for thinking they were testing the house with actual guinea pigs haha.

Your stupid

You're* :tongue:
