Oooh it's getting exciting!!

[Rob!]

I like the sound of this - and I really REALLy can't wait for the house pics. It sounds incredible.

[jyunga]

Sounds bothersome to me. I can already imagine all the posts whining about how each usage of 'power' is a rig by production against that posters favorite in the house. *cringe*

[Josy]

Hmm I'm underwhelmed, it's clearly going to be constant messing with noms and evictions and so on..not really interested in all that

[Rob!]

See, I've never had a problem with twists and interference - as long as it isn't blatantly in someone's favour, then I'm all for it.

[Marsh.]

I don't mind changing up the system each week with a twist, as long as it's not favouring a specific housemate. If they all still have fair and equal chance it's fine.

But if it's like last year where suddenly Dan was evicted because of a daft last minute change of the rules then that's not so good.

Dan's eviction was brilliant - it felt like a c4 type twist to me. Not a popular opinion I know.

[Rob!]

So did the launch date get released?

For shock value it was great. But I remember it pissing me off.

[Rob!]

What I do like about a theme like this is that surely there will have to be an element of gameplay from everyone? Nobody should be able to just cruise to the final this year? And if even the popular ones play the game wrong, the public could turn on them very quickly.

All sounding good so far, even though it was hardly an OK! MAGAZINE REVEALS ALL bombshell lol its the 5th story down on the homepage.

This whole public influencing the house could totally piss all of us off seeing as Channel 5 like to tell the housemates how popular they are on the outside, that is the one thing I do not want and is the total opposite of what BB should be. I want the housemates only interacting with each other its only then they will actually be themselves.

I cannot wait to see the house though im glad BB have now gone back to getting a brand spanking new house every year.

Oh and MrMarky the launch date wasn't revealed...Hang your head in shame!

So pretty much the same as usual.

To be fair, nothing was really revealed at all, more confirmed. We'd figured power was going to be a major contributing factor, so it's not exactly a leap to then work out what kind of series it was going to be. OK basically implied we'd be learning a lot more.

[jyunga]

I hope it's similar to the Aussie powers they gave out each week through a competition. The person that one got a random power that would involve nominations. Like, someone might win the power and be able to see the tally board for nominations before they cast theirs. Or they can pick two people and sit in on their nominations,etc.

[Marsh.]

Nomination Super Powers.

I hope this technology theme isn't going to involve housemates being able to use twitter or something daft like that.

OK! made this campaign about them revealing everything lol.

They revealed hardly anything new.

No nomination twists please.

They weren't really twists. Most of the time the advantage they gave the power holding had little to no affect. But it allowed them to have a competition each week for the power and led to some funny awkward moments later in the series. They had a competition for save/replace too which was nice. Much better when a lot of people are up each time though.

[Daniel.]

The house sounds amazing though.

It just sounds like it's gonna be constant twists and **** again

[Vanessa]

Finally. No more coasting or sleeping until the final.

[Daniel.]

If it encorages more bitching and scheming I'm all for it - they just need to use it well and hopefully not turn into an excuse to throw in a shyte twist all the time like secrets and lies.

It does make me feel optimistic about the housemates though - they surely will have chosen a load of strong characters who would be willing to do anything to get 'power'.

Well eviction votes are viewer input.

Don't want it more than that, like last year when they had the housemates line-up in viewer popularity order a few weeks before the final.

Housemates should not be made aware how they are coming over to viewers other than by surviving eviction votes.

[Samm]

It sounds better than last year imo
