Rylan Clark-Neal has cleared up those intriguing rumours that this year's Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother will be mashed together to create a Super CBB.

Sort of...

Speaking to Digital Spy about reports that this year's CBB housemates could find themselves living with non-famous ones, Rylan said: "There's still going to be a Big Brother in the summer and there's still going to be a Celebrity Big Brother.

"This is the first year I'm out of the loop because I have to be. Be prepared for the unexpected, and I can say that more for this than any other series of Big Brother.

"I mean, I'd love it [a BB and CBB mash-up]. But when I say celebrities, I don't think we're talking A-listers. I don't think we're talking massive but I do like the concept of mixing it up. But for us, it's a brand new show this year."

Reluctantly ignoring our pleas for more information, the star promised: "Everything's coming very soon. The new look, new treatment, new feel. It's a brand new show this year.

"Which is scary for me and Emma [Willis], scary for the production team, and very scary for the housemates. It feels like we're starting a new school. It's like going to big school."

On CBB housemate rumours which currently include Lady Colin Campbell, Helen Flanagan and GoggleBox's Stephen and Chris, he added: "Of course they'd make great housemates.

"When you see a list that's printed in the paper, I always say this - and I shouldn't but I will - 50% is normally right. If they're being rumoured, they're being rumoured for a reason.

"But, anyone can drop out at any time. Until they walk through those doors, we don't even know."

Thank ****! I mean he doesn't explicitly state that BB won't include celebs, but I guess I'll take it as that.

It's a brand new show this year.

[Cal.]

Lol it's probably not even the same format

[Headie]

But for us, it's a brand new show this year.

They're gonna adopt the BBUS format aren't they and idk how I feel about that The celeb format will prob stay the traditional format too

[Cal.]

It can't be the BBUS format as they wouldn't make any money from the show.

[Pete.]

BB Brazil format? (HoH, two noms and public vote)

[Marsh.]

Sack the horseface twat.

That would be fine

Not here for the full US format tho

[VanessaFeltz.]

maybe normal nominations?

[Jake.]

so in other words its "civilians" (models, djs and a 40+ year old woman) vs someone from geordie shore, a few other models and steve from gogglebox

They better ****ing not.

I'd like to see a reverse format where the public nominates (always two housemates) and the housemates vote. Just different that's all.

[Maxxie.]

Wait, I just thought, maybe if the public nominated like 6 housemates every week which would be announced to the house on Tuesday than the six housemates would then campaign BBUS style for the next three days in order to stay, it'll bring more of a game element to the show. If it works, then they could try US format.

just give us the damn US format and I'll actually cum on this forum

No idea why anyone would want HoH and Veto comps but for the public to still vote, that's absolutely pointless in a game sense. May as well keep whatever messy nonsense we have now

I'd actually be here for this, it's not a bad idea. Would have to be vote to save though, omfg a dullard would go every week and it'd be amazing

[Marsh.]

He also promised to love Dan until death do them part but we know it won't last.

[Rob!]

Tbf it's lasted longer than people thought it would.

[TomC]

Thinking about it, I really want normal BB to adopt the US/Canada format. I just love it, and I think they need to try something different, and the BBCAN format is just amazing.

Trying something like this is what the show needs - having a new format will hopefully stop the manipulation and also the current format always leaves us with a boring end of series anyway.

How the hell do you expect them to make money from that?

[TomC]

Oh yeah actually I can't imagien C5 wanting to lose the voting revenue.

[Jason.]

I hate it when people say they want BBUK to adopt the US/Can format. Then it's not BBUK. You already have two international BB's that follow that format, so just watch them. BBUK doesn't need to adopt the US/Can format to be good. The UK format is capable of producing a good series (like BB5-7 or more recently BB13-14) it just needs better casting and a decent production team (mainly the latter). The last two series didn't have that hence why they were so awful.

[TomC]

I genuinely think the US format is more interesting though and works better, hence why I want to see British people doing it.

[Ross.]

I don't want BBUK to adopt the CAN/US format, I do enjoy it but that's why I watch BBUS and BBCAN. Having another follow the same format would just ruin my enjoyment tbh.

Yeah because a format of face to face nominations -> every housemate with one nom goes up -> public actually votes for those with no noms -> tag nominations -> one person nominates three people -> face to face nominations -> nominees open a glittery envelope to see who's evicted -> DR noms but then they're shown to the house -> evicted housemate moves into a Bedsit type room etc etc etc isn't dumb at all

Err...well in the second example you still have the public vote, and dare I say a vote to save amongst the whole house every week would generate more revenue than they do now.

Under the US format just do what they and Canada do and have more product placement and sponsorship, it's already started so just let it continue? Or create a better website and encourage viewers to visit it to vote on things which affect the game like the Canadian's do, then there's online advertising.

If that fails there's always a way they can tweak the US format to still include the public vote (although crucially not over who's directly evicted, I still fail to understand why anyone would think that is a worthwhile idea ).

Just have the HoH nom three people, play the Veto as normal, then the public votes to save one of the nominees and the housemates vote on the remaining two. You're still making money, you're still giving the public some input and you're actually adding another dynamic to the game rather than removing it completely. Easy.
