Default How Many Housemates Do You Want On Launch Night?

Do you think it should the usual 16 we've had the past few years or something different?

Depends how long the show will run for. I hate HMs being thrown in half way through so the sooner you get them in, the better.

BB9 got it spot on- 16 on launch night, 3 really early on and one a bit later to shake things up a bit. My only criticism was that they sent in my girlfriend.

They usually have too many on launch night, send in too many half way through and have too many left for the final. This year with it being the final final, it's crucial there is at most 4 people left on the final night - but based on recent finals I'm expecting nothing more than the usual "let's get them all out ASAP" and then them finishing with something as little as "by the way, we won't be back!".


In theory for a 13-week series sending 13 in on launch night, with three late arrivals to follow, should be fine. That would leave four in the final week (more than enough!) with two to throw out in the first show on finale night, and then the winner announced - and previous winners returning to stage - for the second show.

I prefer it when it is 5 on the final night! But in the final week it should be 6 of them.. or 7.. with 1 or 2 being evicted on the Monday or Tuesday!!

However I do think the first eviction should happen 2 weeks into the show.. when we get to know what the housemates are really like.. and of course give them a chance!

I agree this was pretty perfect, although no more sending in people that someone knows and not too late.

But that leaves little room for walkers, ejections and no double evictions.

5 men, 5 women - 10 REALLY well thought out selections in terms of character and clashes/matches with others.

Yeah I agree BUT if some of the HMs turn out to be dud I would like a couple more.

BB9 as a guide with a view to slightly change if needed.
