With the twist revealed, I think it'll be about 20, 10 in each house

[Goodbye Summer]

Yeah, it's definitely going to be the biggest yet for sure. Quite excited to be honest, only because it gives us such a wide variety (hopefully) of characters. Hopefully the best ones don't get evicted, or 'lose their place'

I think it'll be a lot but I don't think it'll be equally spread. If it's like the halfway house twist it wasn't equal, and the new house is a lot smaller so I reckon maybe 12/8 or maybe even 14/6?

14 housemates

6 Others

I always liked 16.

Counting beds and chairs, as always, I've counted 12 bed spaces and 12 dining room chairs. I've tweeted pictures of them, with the spaces marked:

(I don't know how to add photos straight onto here from my iPad)

I have been guessing 12 for the main house and 6 or 8 for the others so could be correct

EDIT: there are 14 chairs

I counted 14 chairs and 14 beds?

I'm sure there are definately only 12 chairs, there may be 14 beds but definately only 12 that we can see from the photo

[thisisdanny]

Taken from Digital Spy I zoomed in a bit

[thisisdanny]

7 chairs on each side

aahhhhhh I found the 2 I missed, thanks!
and I have a feeling there is another bed not visible in the photos, so I'd say 14 and 14 chairs... still definately less than the usual 15/16 of recent years

[TomC]

Does the number of chairs/beds actually ever mean anything anyway?

[supertv247]

Nope
But i'm sure there's always the same number of or LESS housemates than chairs/beds, which would mean there are less in the main house than the past 3 series have had.
Obviously that will likely be the case, but could still be 10/11/12/13/14 in the main house just definately no more than 14 i guess

[thisisdanny]

Usually does I think, although I'm thinking it might not necessarily mean 14 are going into the main house on launch night, but might be the most there will be in there at a time? for example if the twist ends after a few weeks idk

[JJ.]

12 in main house, 6 in other house I reckon! Total guesswork though.
