[BB11UK]

90 hopefuls split into 6 groups of 15 people. Each group must compete in a task (people can pull out if they want) in order to get themselves into the top 5.

For example, one group could be told they must drink a fish guts smoothie in order to get one step closer to becoming a housemate. People can choose not to take part if they wish but they will automatically be out of the running. The housemates will have one minute to drink the entire smoothie, and the first five will be one step closer to becoming a housemate. Anyone who throws up during the task is out.

Then…
Immediately after the five people from each group have successfully passed their task they will each have their 1-2minute VTs shown to the public one-after-another (no breaks in between). Once the VT’s have finished, the public will then be given 10 minutes to vote for the housemate they want to see enter the house as a housemate. The two with the most votes will become genuine housemates.

However...
The public will not know which two have received the most votes until they step out of the famous blacked-out car and make their way into the house.

Phone lines for the previous group will still be open while the next task takes place. All groups have one minute to complete the task!

Group 1 – Jump in pool of fish guts and find a BB eye. There are five eyes in the pool; the public will then vote for which of the five winners they want to see become a housemate.
***
Group 2 – Must search through a pitch black room filled with horse manure to find an eye. They have one minute to find one of five eyes.
***
Group 3 – Must drink a smoothie made of animal guts. They must drink all of the contents to pass. If they throw up, they are disqualified. The first five to drink the entire contents are through.
***
Group 4 – Each person is attached to a rope in the wall. They must run forward and smash one of the glass cases to get the eye inside. However, the other end of the rope is attached to another person; most will not know who they are attached to. The two people connected together must battle it out to get an eye first.
***
Group 5 – Must put their face (and only their face) in a tank of worms. They must collect an eye from the bottom of the tank with their teeth. Once they have their eye, they must hold it in the air. The first five to hold up an eye are through.
***
Group 6 – Hopefuls will be seated on two separate spinning wheels (like playground roundabouts), they will be spin around for fifteen seconds before they can get off. The floor will be covered in slippery liquid and eyes will be randomly placed around the room – which contains a number of furniture and items. They must find an eye to go through.


Benefits of this launch night twist:
1. The public decide who they want to see enter the Big Brother house.
2. The BB team cannot be accused of entering people who are with an agency or have a connection to something in the public eye (glamour modelling, beauty pageants, etc.)
3. The BB team cannot be accused of trying to put in people they know will clash or form a romance, it will be back to the original series where the housemates are completely random and everyone will have to see what happens between them.
