how do you think they're going to do the couples theme
 

poll coming

They should do 9 couples and after first eviction all couples should nominate one couple in dr. This couple face head to head eviction after that couple twist should be over.

Badly would be my guess

I can just imagine the couple twist being a thing in Week 1 where one couple is evicted in a double eviction and then after that the couples become separate housemates or something.

Basically like CBB13's handcuff twist without the fake eviction

and without the handcuffs

Twisted Sisters realness please

Mark my words - at some point in the series, one or all of the pairs will be separated in to two rooms and given the opportunity to press a button to take some money home, in exchange for evicting their partner.

I expect a few duo's who "split up or fell out" after they auditioned together.

If they are evicted then we dont get to watch the aftermath.

The producers will need to cleverer,
maybe the week they come to split up the pairs,
each gets the choice to put the other up for eviction or face eviction together

The C&T says that BB has the rights to separate couples and pair them with other hms - which is going to happen sooner or later.

couples swap please :)

They'll evict one or two pairs with it, then make them separate housemates, then towards the end pair them back up with different people (one's they've clashed with in the past probably) when they need to get rid of some excess.

I'm assuming it's going to be something like one goes into the main house and the other goes into the second house?

The last German season had housemates being paired up on Launch Night getting wristbands. They had to do tasks together and if they're being nominated their partner had to face eviction automatically. Every two weeks they swapped their partners until four weeks before the final. I can see them doing it similarly, having the existing couples together at first but then changing partners. I would be here for it.

It will probably last only 2 weeks max anyway.

How about 8 couples..16 housemates in total. Instead of 'a couple' being one housemate evict individually and break the couples down.
Now that would be a great format. Any partner would resent others nominating/evicting their other half and would get very interesting.

however they do it i'm sure it will be terrible

it's going to feel very weird if everyone enters in a pair on launch night

though maybe it won't be dragged on for two hours like it always is this time

Guys already the first rumoured Civilian housemate is supposedly a dream boys model name laton carter

I think I would like them to be couples at the start, but slowly start to separate as the series goes on to see if they can last.

I think maybe when a pair is evicted, one gets to stay and one has to remain evicted but that could get confusing so I say keep it simple and don't over complicate it. I want it to last as well, unlike the others.

I think 12 couples will become 6 couples will become 12 housemates will become 1 winner

I'd prefer it if they were nominated as couples but the public get the chance to save them individually e.g. Couple 1 and couple 2 are up for eviction, all four face it individually, the male from couple 2 gets evicted, the female from couple 2 can carry on alone, and nominate alone, and be nominated alone.

Knowing C5 it'll be loads of young couples and they'll try to force showmances.

I can see the cover of the daily star already: "Big Bruv builds steamy sex dungeon under house to make it the raunchiest series ever"

The application did not ask for couples. It asked for pairs, which could be a family member aswell as a partner. I hope they focus more on family members than partners.

I can only assume the applications for pairs was well down as in the past you got one email from bb saying its time to apply this time there was a few and Emma was still asking people to apply on finals night.
