Rylan explains to the Daily Star..

..Each contender had to undergo a test to see how smart they are as bosses hope they will pull out all the stops to get one over each *other during the series, which is called Big Brother: Power Trip.

Bit On The Side host Rylan Clark, 25, warned that with brains come games as the new bunch are “ruthless, sly and vindictive”.

'This year they’re very, very clever and they’ve all been IQ tested.'

He explained: “This year they’re very, very clever and they’ve all been IQ tested.

“Technology will be *allowed in the house for the first time ever this year”

"They are the type of people who will do anything to get what they want.

"It’ll be a fight to the finish.”...

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Headie]

Hmm.. that's good if they've deliberately picked smart people since they'll be strategic and know how to play the game right, but I'm not here for 10 Eugene/Jonty/Andrew clones.

[Samm]

If all of then are smart then Josie Cunningham won't be going in

[Drew.]

I want to watch Big Brother not The Chase

Just because they were socially inept doesn't make them smart.

[LaLaLand]

There'll be a mix as usual, there's definitely going to be 4/5 "bimbos et al".

Housemates with a bit of depth to them is no bad thing. This series is on the cusp of being either amazing or awful. Time will tell.

[Kizzy]

I've been waiting for a series like this can't wait! it sounds great

[Daniel.]

This stuff sounds good untill technology

Didn't Andrew have like a super-high IQ level and went to a top university? And Eugene seemed quite intelligent... remember when he went on Eggheads? Jonty was just geeky, maybe I shouldn't have put him on the list.

But I dont want a house full of those people.

I love how they are braving it to do something different, because why not?! It's going to be interesting.

[Will.]

Very confusing, there all meant to be fame hungry wannabes, and they have a high IQ, probably not!

I agree, every year the complaint is that the producers are doing the same thing over and over in tasks and such, very interested to see how all this will unfold.

[Jords]

They sound like a joyful bunch..

[mizzy25]

I don't care who goes in, Il be addicted by day 5 I guess lol

[joeysteele]

I will wait and see, this is not actually sounding like a good build up so far as to any aspects of the house.

They'll may as well just put robots in a future series if this goes on.

[Josy]

Is Rylan just opening his gob and allowing his belly to rumble now?

He seems to be saying a lot without actually telling us anything..in these articles at least.

ruthless, sly and vindictive.

Does not equal clever.

This year they’re very, very clever and they’ve all been IQ tested.

You mean like they get an IQ test most years?

Technology will be *allowed in the house for the first time ever this year

Yes this we are aware of, it's been said enough. It's not the first time ever though.

They are the type of people who will do anything to get what they want.

There always is in BB

It’ll be a fight to the finish....

You mean what normally happens in BB which happens to be a gameshow with a cash prize at the finish?

[Queen]

Probably going to be as brainless as previous years contestants

[alex_front2]

wow, could this be the year we finally get a female Ox-bridge/ top 10 uni student or graduate? Nah, it will be some girlie bimbo. Same old same old.

[Slevin]

just as long as im not bored at this rate with any BB these days is all i can hope for lol
