I think they might do, considering they are very low on identity secrecy pre-launch these days, and they revealed the CBB cast like a day before. However, I really don't want them to - the launch would be much better if we didn't know!

I don't think that they will - last year they did it to fit in with the Timebomb theme and they were sort of backed into a corner to release them for the current Celeb series after the Daily Star leaked the lineup.

If this year's housemates are anything like last year's boring ol' lot then they might as well just release them beforehand.

Oh I didn't know it was leaked before C5 released them

Ngl, I was really excited for BB16 after reading the bios for the HMs. They seemed like a good bunch tbh. It was only the late entrants that brought drama to the series though.

I think the casts are too orchestrated. They're casting people based on certain roles but it would be so much more interesting if it wasn't so predictable. They should aim for Big Brother 10 standards; people from all sorts of backgrounds and just watch it all play out.

But we know that the producers are just going to make exactly the same mistakes again so eh, what's the point

Hm. I guess last year's cast did play up to stereotypes a bit. But isn't BB10 liked because it's so ethnically diverse? Which is kind of doing the same thing - ticking the diversity box? Last year definitely didn't have enough ethnic minorities though, and I hope that changes in BB17.
