I'm not bothered. I'd love for the series to have absolutely no rumours and whoever goes in goes in but that just isn't going to happen in this day and age so just learnt to accept it.

I'd usually rather wait until the launch, but since we already knew the line-up there wasn't a point in pretending there'd still be any sort of surprise element

If it hadn't have been for all the leaks and rumours then I would say no, but since we pretty much already knew anyway it was nice to have official confirmation.

I didn't like the idea before 'Timebomb' and I don't like the idea now. Launch night should reveal all the secrets, not Facebook or Instagram...

Not really. Part of the excitement of launch night is finding out who's going to go in and it's not really a CBB thing to reveal the lineup before the series starts like IAC does. But like Lucas and MB say, the papers pretty much have had it correct for the past few series so that surprise element is no longer present in this day and age which is shame, but w/e.

I voted for not sure. I think that it is a good idea for the contestants to be confirmed before the launch (for CBB only), but they could have gone about it in a completely different way if it was their plan to do this the entire time. They could have drummed up a lot of hype if they did what Strictly does and confirm a celebrity in the weeks building up to the show in different outlets (GMB, This Morning, Loose Women etc). There was an opportunity to be taken here but they probably only decided to release them in one batch today because the Star leaked them on Sunday. If they plan on doing this in the future however, they should do what I've listed here.

Not particularly, but obviously I'll have to wait and see what happens.

I just get the feeling that this series will be boring. idk why?

Edit: oh I've completely answered the wrong thread

I'd prefer if they didn't because I like the surprise of who goes in. I can't resist the temptation of looking either once I know it's out.

Not bothered really, I usually know most of the line-up come launch night anyway. It's regular BB where I prefer to not have confirmation (so I hope they don't do that this summer like they did with BB16).

idk the past few launch nights have been kind of boring, some of the fun was always hoping for a couple of surprises. I like the cast though so it's made me more excited for the actual series
