There should be a spoiler thread for those who don't want to know.

Are Channel 5/Endemol/Who ever the **** comes up with these decisions retarded?
Are they deliberately trying to get low launch ratings?

I'm not looking at these, and I'm staying away from TIBB and DS for two days, until Tuesday night.

I don't really understand what the point of this is. I can understand why they'd do it for CBB, if they had a good line-up. But the whole point of launch is meeting the housemates on the first night. It's good they have faith in this years cast, but I'm not sure this is the way to go.

The best thing about launch is being surprised when watching their VT's and seeing the housemates faces for the first time.

I agree with the poster who said there should be a separate spoiler thread on this, as I'm not interested in knowing who the housemates are until launch night. But there's always some idiot who will blurt out the names or type of housemates on another thread or have their pictures as their sig.

Terrible idea, IMO.

It's confirmed

Don't think its a good idea, don't think I will look, probably just wait!

Please, when it is revealed, make a spoiler thread to keep those away who don't want to know!

It will either go one way or another they think. I reckon they think releasing it would create more buzz, but then if the selection is not good, people won't tune into launch.

Terrible idea.

It just makes the launch night pointless. What's the point in watching it if I already know the people going in? What a way to ruin the tradition and excitement of a UK Big Brother launch.

Obviously some form of twist going on launch night.

With this and heavy rumors of past HMs going in though I'm very worried about this series and tbh my excitement is nothing at the moment, this all feels like a disaster waiting to happen.

To be fair, looking at it properly, it could be good for buzz. Go on Twitter and the BBUK hashtag is the most busy its been since the build up. Then there is a chance that BBUK will trend on Twitter 2 days BEFORE it starts which I guess is good promotion too.. and then those last 2 days, the Twitter feed could be busier than usual as those who have taken a peek, will be discussing it.

So, to be fair, this is just a way to get BBUK trending before launch night so there are possibly more people that get to see it rather than just those on Twitter a couple of hours before launch (when BB usually starts trending).

Also, it's not the first time ever. Pretty sure BB2 revealed them before on the papers.

It could be a mix of newbies and old housemates.

Possibly, as Rylan said "split into smaller groups", one group could be 3-4 ex HMs.

what about if one of them pulls out the day before? Sometimes they brick it and get replaced last minute

This is such a dumb idea. What is he point of launch night? The most exciting part of launch is finding out the housemates.

They have lost the plot.

What the bloody hell are they playing at, They always have to cock up one way or another don't they. It's going to be impossible to avoid the housemates for 2 days with all the social media/forums we use.

I actually don't totally hate the idea, it seems a bit pointless right now, but until there could be a very good reason for them doing this. it might even bring in a few more viewers if people see someone that interests them before hand.

Hopefully they just release pictures or something without information about them though so they can keep some sort of surprise for the launch.

Hopefully this means there's ex-housemates in the line-up to get people talking or else I can't see the reason they're doing this...
