Ask any questions and I will try and answer them if I can

President · 22-05-2009, 01:36 PM

Cool, thanks Jacob.

1) Why have you continued with having 2 eviction shows on Fridays? The ratings have been terrible for the late shows usually.

2) Why do the live shows always finish about 5 minutes early (sometimes nearly 10 mins early)?

3) How many housemates going in for launch?

4) Any hints about what the house looks like?

Sod_James · 22-05-2009, 01:38 PM

Any news on BB's future once the contract comes to end after BB 11. i mean you must be concernd cos you would be out of a job.

Jacob · 22-05-2009, 01:42 PM

Damn you President.
1. Its just how its been the last few years. Plus it gives the housemates that little bit longer in house before they are thrown from its doors.
2. It all depends on whether we've managed to fit everything in the show
3. 16
4. Nope

This insider lark is easy.

1. C4 are stubborn.

2. The reason actually is to do with advertising restrictions - ITV, C4 and Five are limited on the amount of adverts they can take between 6pm and 11pm so hence usually try to screen a full block (three and a half minutes) of ads as soon after 11pm as possible. Doesn't excuse the live streaming at the end though - just crashing straight to the credits would help hold the audience

3. A genuine insider wouldn't tell you. I'd guess 16.

4. Different.

But in recent years after the eviction announcement, the housemates have left just a few minutes afterwards anyways.

The second shows are not live, they're delayed.

So why not just combine the two shows?

Lol. Nice answers Brekkie

I think the only time i would ever believe someone who is claiming to be an insider is if they gave me some detailed info about somthing which proved to be 100% true down to the finest detail.

elliebelly · 22-05-2009, 01:52 PM

I suppose any one can claim they are an insider, but Jacob if it is true you say that there are 16 housemates? Are they in hiding yet or if not when do they go into hiding? How many extras are going in at later dates? I know some are replaced if they walk? Can you name one female and one males first names?

marcpaygnard · 22-05-2009, 02:03 PM

1.Do ALL the housemates know they have been selected?
2.Will extras housemates be added during the show?

Lewis. · 22-05-2009, 02:03 PM

Can you give us a few details on the advertising plan. I Love the eye flashes and cannot wait for further adverts, but it would be nice to know when we are going to get the long ones

There's an insider on DS who PMed me some BB9 info days before the press got hold of it.

S/he also confirmed the BB10 start date a week before C4 did (which could have been a smart guess, of course).

We have 4 second ones know Lewis, you've seen them right?

ILoveTRW · 22-05-2009, 02:14 PM

I bet this is monkeymadness he was impersonating Jacob on ibb and now hes come on here with his act

elliebelly · 22-05-2009, 02:16 PM

Jacob was online and didn't answer any of the latest questions. Is he FAKE?

BIG-BRO-FAN · 22-05-2009, 02:16 PM

Don't mean to burst everyones bubble, but how do we know 'Jacob' is actually an 'insider'? He could be anyone sitting anywhere on the internet pretending he works for BB

MichaelCracker · 22-05-2009, 03:48 PM

Jacob isn't much of an insider as none of the information is really informative or helpful.

lightyears · 22-05-2009, 03:51 PM

if an insider told us somethin about the house that we could actually confirm once the show started i would believe them but as it is its all pretty much answers anyone can come up with.

go
