Surely they're gonna have to do an X Factor and have 2 eliminations each week? If there's 20 housemates *unconfirmed*

Who mentioned 20 housemates?

If there is 20 then there'd be 10 in each house so I'd imagine 1 from each house would be evicted every week until the houses join together.

I don't really care when it starts to be honest. I just hope its still on when I go to Scotland in July for my annual holidays. Every year I go in the caravan (racing hols with the dogs) and every year bb is normally on the whole time Im there. Last year it ended the end of my 1st week and it just wasn't the same.

It's not 20 housemates it 16 with 8/8 split

[y.winter]

The 8th's episode starts on 10pm, so no two-part launch I guess.
Friday's is 90 minutes followed by a 30min LF - so... late entrance for the second house/other super-duper-second-house-related twist?

[Daniel.]

Tuesday launch sucks I finish work at half 8 on Tuesdays

[Jake.]

Glad it's only one launch

[Denver]

Is this confirmed or speculation?

[Firewire]

Confirmed, although Channel 5 can change it at the last minute if they feel the need to.

[Glenn.]

I love how all of the BB fan site twitters have 'confirmed' the launch when it hasn't been confirmed yet.

[Denver]

Thats good i only work mornings on Tuesdays

It has been, it's on digiguide

[Glenn.]

Tf is a digiguide

[Firewire]

It's essentially a large EPG that gives you weeks in advance, it's been updated to show the live launch being tuesday 7th at 9pm which means Channel 5 has released their schedule

[Ashley.]

I'm fine with that.

[Rob!]

So if house pictures are going to be released in the next week then they haven't got a lot longer to get the house finished.

Watch them do a BB10 style twist to give them an extra week to get it done

[Glenn.]

So 13 days to go then.

[Jack_]

Expect a confirmation tweet from the BBUK account before 4pm

(at least I think it's 4 when schedules are finalised, it might be 3 or 5)

The new bit looks a lot smaller than the old house, which we know can take 16 housemates.

Not sure there will be an even split.

[y.winter]

I hope the theme title won't be as cringey as the sci-fi description in the PR. And without a twist a-la cult of celebrities...

[Jack_]

I'm hoping we get the full trailer alongside the confirmation too

[Babayaro.]

A 90 minute launch seems rushed
