Big Brother 2014 contestants ‘set to have access to Twitter to find out who’s popular’

[Josy]

We already know this because of the other articles, it's a stupid idea and goes completely against the 'no outside contact' rule.

If that happens they've officially killed BB. They can go ahead and name it something else

Perhaps they should sack Emma Willis and make Kitten Pinder the host and call it Big Sister.

[Josy]

Unless of course theres some kind of twist involved in it like them allowing the housemates to think they are using twitter but really its all a lie or something like that, would probably be too much hassle to pull it off though.

A screen with a live poll on wouldn't be that bad. Showing who is getting the most mention on twitter but I don't want housemates reading tweets in the house tbh.

Actually that wouldn't be too bad an idea, something like those social media graphs Christian Howes used to create for BOTS (miss than man). Ties in with the technology theme and would actually probably inspire some of the dullards to make a ****ing effort and do something for once. Win-win

This is most likely I don't think they will let them go on twitter them self

[Daniel.]

I hope this series flops

What if the housemates get power for being the most talked about on social media? And that'd tie in with the viewers having the chance to partake in the power stuff as well, if they want their favourites to get the power they have to talk about them on different platforms and stuff

i just think producers will twist it and they will be tweeting stuff to the housemates saying other housemates have done stuff

that might actually be pretty good (with the housemates not knowing how it all worked)

That would be a good twist actually depending on what the power was..I still don't think any housemate should ever have access to social media or any other outside info the way we have been led to believe with the latest articles though.

What if they just have a normal classic series that doesn't need any stupid outside involvement to cause drama

[2] Chuck in good housemates who are diverse in personality and then let story's develop naturally between them

Stop spamming with that pic it's completely ignorant when other members are trying to have a discussion.

[Samm]

I don't want a BBUS theme, I don't mind having bits of it like HoH but I want BBUK to stay as a reality show not a game show

If there's no house vote (combined with a public vote, I accept they'll never ditch that totally) then there's no point in having HoH and/or Veto because any game play they're trying to create will be pointless and meaningless. If that's the case I hope they don't bother

Agree with both of these.

[Daniel.]

I just don't want a repeat of BB14 where the theme flopped and made an excuse for contrived twists.

Also, whyw as the posts with the picture in deleted, we were still talking about the series?

Yeah I agree I didn't like the theme for BB14 every week there was a strange lie that got confusing and everybody thinking housemates where moles.

But I am liking the sound of this theme so far tbh not the social media that much but with hints of Power and stuff sounds good, I just don't judge a series before it starts.

[LaLaLand]

If the poll was "rigged" it'd be good, like for example you vote for the least popular and it gets reversed in the house, so the most disliked think they're the favourites and act up - I'd like that.

[Vicky.]

The ones that are popular on twitter are usually utter dicks that noone else likes..so it wont give away too much really. Dont like the idea of this though

[Jack_]

Am I the only one that is actually liking the new trend they've started of having themes? I think it's innovative and shows they're willing to try new things instead of just leaving it to rot like C4 did in the latter years. And as Emma said on Paul O'Grady the other day the reason behind it is because after fourteen years there's a risk of the format going stale (I know us hardcore fans disagree but still) and by having a theme it entices new/old viewers in to see how they're changing things up...

I think it's a good thing. Granted Secrets & Lies didn't exactly live up to what it was supposed to but still, hopefully this time it'll last the distance and actually have some proper impact which they've promised it will.
