what could TimeBomb mean for the series?

Last year i made a thread about the word Power and what the loading bar in the first advert mean't for the series. Some members just shrugged it off..

I wasn't looking into it too much, i was right about thinking it had something to do with the series

So back to the question at hand, what could the word Timebomb mean?

[Daniel.]

Housemates being allowed to return after eviction?

[Marsh.]

I don't know why those people thought Power Trip from the advert would mean nothing. We know they like their themes now.

I have a feeling they're going to throw in some previous ex-housemates into the mix to add to the whole 'Timebomb' theme especially as rumours regarding an 'All Stars' series have been circulating for a while. Obviously, if this happens I would presume it would only be a minority of ex-housemates to spice things up.

One of the new executive producers is from BBUS and in plentiful of their seasons they've thrown in ex-housemates here and there so I think it is plausible.

I think it could be really interesting and good if done in the right way.

It won't be able old house guests. All the clock gears, the mention of turning things back.. they are going to manipulate time in the house. ie: people will get evicted only to come back, events/tasks will take place only to be rewound and redone. etc

I agree 100per

I'm here for Tashie, Victoria & Sallie getting another shot!

[reece(:]

Hoping it's to do with ex-housemates but it's probably a stupid suitcase twist.

[Mystic Mock]

It could be a bunch of Schzophrenic contestants going into the house and we'll be counting down the clock until they have their next episode.

And to answer your question no as they would be da bomb in the house.

[armand.kay]

Random evictions at any point in the week?

[Jay.]

idk but when rylan says 'it is possible, but it's the same' makes me think that ex-housemates could return

Wasn't it one of the US BB's that did this? Can't remember which one.

[Pete.]

The time ticking down for Pauline and Toya's explosive return

[Cal.]

I agree it's probably just time being rewinded and evicted housemates getting voted back in, nominations getting to be changed ect . Not sure what they could do with fast forward - I think I saw someone say a twist could be a housemate getting fast forwarded to the final night to steal some of the prize fund? That could be good.

*Helen

**all of

[Babayaro.]

Even if ex housemates do return I highly doubt it will be housemates from past series like people are suggesting, it will probably be those who have been evicted if anything

[Josy]

I think it's just because the series is shorter than normal tbh

[drantb]

A return of BB5's ever decreasing prize fund. That's why they increased it this year. The tasks will be against the clock.

I don't get this old housemates thing, a timebomb has nothing to do with the past.

[Denver]

Every decision will be made with a time limit from Noms to Shopping To Leaving the house without saying good bye where every second longer takes Ł1 off the prize fund

[Maneki-neko]

Here's what I'm thinking at the moment:


Each housemate is given the same amount of minutes at the start. These minutes are exactly the amount of time they can stay in the house. They then have to earn more minutes for themselves by doing tasks, both labour-intensive and mental.

However if you run out of minutes you're evicted on the spot.

I think it's something to do with the prize fund

I like the sound of that!

I like the sound of that, but I don't think it'l be possible 😒
