Default Thank god there isn't random picking or competition to get into the house!

I was getting worried we'd have a bunch of random housemates.

I tried posting this article in the Articles section but I have to wait for it to be approved so i'll post it here in the meantime:

Quote:
Big Brother bosses have confirmed that there will be between 80 and 90 hopeful housemates on launch night.

The opening twist will involve Big Brother revealing the final selection of contestants live in front of the nation next Wednesday. Creative director Phil Edgar Jones admitted that the producers are still in the process of selecting their final cast.

"We've got our shortlist of people coming down on launch night," he said. "There will probably be around 80 or 90 people. They are all coming down to join in this last carnival which is Big Brother.

"None of them will know whether or not they have been picked. To be honest, not even we know all of them yet. Some of them we do, some we don't."

He continued: "Big Brother still makes the decision on who goes in the house, like it has always done. You will just see the moment when they find out who enters this wonderful, beautiful house. There will be between 12 to 14 housemates. I'm being truthful, we genuinely don't know at this point how many. We haven't finished selecting yet, we are just trying to get the mix right."

Explaining the physical setup on Wednesday night, he said: "They will still walk in individually and get their own walk into the house. They are just not pulling up in cars, getting booed or cheered. We are doing it in a slightly different way.

"They will be outside. On the big staging outside. Davina will be there. The big crowd will be there. They will all be there in the middle with their name badges on. Big Brother will announce who is going in the house, then you'll see their face as they start screaming, gibbering or running away madly from it. Who knows?"

Jones also revealed that one of the inspirations behind the latest launch twist was late housemate Jade Goody.

"There has always been this amazing reaction on the phone when we tell people that they are going in," he said. "I remember for example, calling Jade up, and then she dropped the phone and fainted. We told her that she couldn't tell anybody and then she told everybody that she met."

Probed further about housemates, he insisted that they do not "have a touch of celebrity" about them. He also confessed that it is likely more contestants will join the show later in the series.

Big Brother 11 kicks off on Wednesday, June 9 at 9pm on Channel 4.
