I'll expand on my ideas for what it is when I said it will be like Britain's Got Talent meets Big Brother.

It says the housemates will have talents, from artists, musicians, scientists, athletes, fashion guru's etc. It also says celebrities will be the voice and basically producers of BB, as they will be setting tasks etc.

So I reckon it will be more of a talent show rather than where a bunch of strangers just go in and sit around for a month or so and nominate each other and leave it to the public.

The celebrities will all probably be from the specific 'talent fields'. So you'll have a celebrity musician, a celebrity scientist, celeb athlete, celeb fashion expert, celeb artist etc. And they all set tasks according to their skills.

The housemates may be grouped up like X Factor, or they may play individually, but I bet it's to do with them trying to perfect their talent with the coaching of celebrities of the same talent.

One thing I have to say I like about this is all the housemates we get to meet! We get the celebrities and the normal people.

Although, the idea actually makes it sound bigger than CBB doesn't it? How is this specially made for E4?

Well anyway, another world first for BBUK!

Why?

Why?

First of all, it's new.
Secondly, the cast is between 18 and 21 y-o and from every part of the society, so we get more diversity.
And finally because the celebs will be back and put a huge mess in it !

The first series didn't started so we will see then. Maybe you will love it.

[Mutya]

to be honest i think this is a decoy

[andybigbro]

i dont like it its too complicating and a bit meh, using normal people as it will just be like big brother

[Mutya]

i think if it is real it will just probly be normal bb but the celebs that come on to BBLB get to choice a bit of what they want to happen

Back in 2000 when Channel 4 issued a press release for Big Brother, did you think "wow, this will be must see TV, lets watch 10 people sit around all day and vote one out every week"? I don't think anyone thought it would be good, or have the impact it has had. So wait before making judgements like that.

[Redmond]

It may turn out good, but I'm still disappointed because I don't think it's the direction BB needs to take. When the word 'experimental' was branded around I assumed they would use BBX to play around with the format, try new tasks and twists that change the course of the game and have to make the housemates work a bit more and then the ideas that are successful they could adapt into Big Brother 9. But no, once again it's all this gimmicky stuff.

[cujo-man]

This is probably wishful thinking but could it not be that this is all just a pathetic cover-up. Its for 18-21 year olds and its a chance to meet celebrities at the same time as possibly getting a zeleb status afterwards. Alot of people are going to audition for this. What if say, it is all talentless wannabes who think they're going into the safety of this Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack but in actual fact discover when they get in its a completely different show and its a much harsher BB.

If not, what the hell did you expect?! Honetly!

[Kristen]

Sounds really, really crappy

[Hugo]

Will the Celebrities be living in the house? Or will there be two houses. I think it's going to be more documentary than reality.

[Hugo]

Will Davina present or be involved......

[Hugo]

I remember Davina sayiyng in an interview that she would like to take on the role of Big Brother.

[beanny]

Its going to be strange going from this to normal BB in the summerr. Unless normal BB9 isnt normal anymore...

[Fat.Rat]

i dont want it to be normal, normal is boring!!!!

[cgimusic]

I am disappointed but it may turn out to be good.

My first post on here and I feel I have to comment on this January show

My personal opinion is it's a waste of time, time which could have been better spent making BB9 into a real blockbuster

Didn't we have enough screaming banshees on BB8 ie Twins, Charley, Chanelle, etc.

I don't understand what this show is trying to do or prove but under 3 months to find z-lebs is cutting it a bit close. I mean, which celebs would be willing to give this parody of an club 18-30 holiday camp show a go?

Never the less, I will give it a few days to make summary judgement but I can't see it catching on

The chances are they will get more celebrities for this than they will for a normal CBB because their egos won't get bruised, nor will their reputations be tarnished...

I'm not sure. I have a feeling this might be a set up to trow people off course. They might have set up this fake show in order to fool contestants.

i dont think so, because they even gave you a number to call if you want to take part!!!!!

[no1bigbrofan]

love it

I think the point made is that people would sign up to this show thinking it is Celebrity Hijack when it is something different. I think its a perfectly valid point even though I like the idea of the celebrities taking over.
