Default Three Minute Warning

Don't think this has been mentioned before, but according to the Sun, the contestants will get just 3 minutes to decide who is evicted this Friday!

This is a transcript of the article:

Three-minute warning

A SHOCK has been planned for the new contestants — they will be given just three minutes to boot out a housemate.

Show chiefs are planning a surprise eviction where, unknown to the group, viewers call phone lines to nominate two housemates for the axe.

The others will be told they have just minutes to decide which of the two they want out.

The bombshell is to be dropped as early as next Friday.

An insider said: “Housemates think there won’t be an eviction until the end of the first two weeks, but they’ve got a big surprise coming up.

“It’s designed to cause the most tension and conflict and make the show more exciting.”

Bosses have added two more contestants to the usual group of 10.

This means they can pack in extra evictions to spice up the show, which runs for 10 weeks until July 26. One of those is likely to happen quickly, as Channel 4 chiefs are aware they must battle not to be overshadowed by the World Cup.

A Big Brother spokeswoman said: “There are talks about surprise evictions, that is why we have included extra contestants this year.

“But I can’t tell you when they will be.”


Now ............ it was in the Sun ............. but wouldn't that make compelling viewing!
