I'm really confused now.
I've just spoken to my contact again.
I asked him if he had got it wrong when I spoke to him last week and just presumed that the show on the 24th was an eviction show, when in fact it was a show with a live audience to watch the housemates going into the house.
'No,' he said 'it's definitely an eviction.'
'It can't be,' I said, 'Channel 4 have said that its the 24th that BB3 starts and that that is when we can see the housemates going into the house with a live audience. So there is a show on the 24th but it's not an eviction.'
He then said: 'We've been told it starts a week earlier on the 17th and that there definitely is an eviction on the 24th.'
'Are you sure?'
'That's what we have been told.'
Aaaaargh!!!!!!!
I think I'm starting to lose the will to live.
