Looking at it from a 'im so bored, lets analyse this way' (but I should off stayed of the energy drinks) way...

14 Housemates will enter on launch, there will be no new additions, unless of course a housemates leaves or is ejected.

thats just standers stuff

• This year’s housemates are genuinely the most diverse in years, and on the whole most, bar two, are not media savvy types.

they always have diversity but they usually just have fame seekers with media profiles... so I'm glad they might not this time..but it is already things that they have said.

The youngest housemate is a 19 year old student called Dan, a sport’s science student, the eldest is a 62 year old man named Ken, an ex Blackpool sea front hotel owner.

uni starts back in September (if true) he cant be student now as BB is during term time... but he might get kicked out after two weeks

• The maximum length of the series is 72 days, however if ratings aren’t as expected, it
will be dropped to a minimum of 50.

There was rumours of a long series but 50-72 days is standard so saying this means nothing as we already know.

• Emma will enter the house as a guest for one night in the last week.

Im sure this is open to change to

• Although C5 is still debating the shows future, production have been told to treat the series as if it is potentially the last one.

we already know this too


• Production has reached out to Davina about possible involvement in a task/live show mid series, however this is still up for discussion.

This would be nice but again you could just be saying ideas that might not actually happen, it would be nice though...

• After the mid point of the series, channel 5 will broadcast 6 hours of live footage on a dedicated B.B. livestream site every other day (not yet 100%)

I WOULD LOVE THIS! More so if I were in it, if not then this to me is the only reason to watch it as it feels like you can fill your living room with guest even though they are not really there, you just listen to there banter

• The BB voice will come back for eviction countdowns, they gave Marcus a go again for the CBB series, however it has been decided that the B.B. voice will fit the theme better for bb19.

blar blar


• There will be an international housemate swap.

I only care if it me going to america to piss of the Christians!

• Every other Saturday there will be a live task starting week 2.

ok

I can’t remember all of them, there’s around 50 all in all, including...
Aisleyne,
Bea,
Sree,
Shabaz,
Lea,
Brian Belo,
Sezer.

Oh and as for why Roderigo was ejected, even I can’t go into that, it’s a big legal thing, he didn’t do anything illegal or anything like that, it’s a lot more complicated than you could imagine, we screwed up at B.B. and so did he.

I know this isn’t true about Rodrigo, so now I’m not inclined to believe anything else you’ve said

[irishdave]

I thought BB was not airing on Saturdays? So how are we getting live tasks on that day?

WHAT

I'm FUMING omg

[annabelindabee]

she/he got the timing right of the eye... how did they know that if they had not got inside information?

I mean are you sure you even know for sure because I had dm convos with like 3 of those bb fan accounts on twitter and they all say different things. It seems like ppl are claiming to know but nobody knows for certain

Hardeep wasnt last minute

[Denver]

Doesnt BBUSA finish pretty soon? i think the only international BB on is Big Boss

[thisisdanny]

Call me naive but I believe it and I am PERCHED

[annabelindabee]

it finishes September 26th... first bb full day is the 15th... so thats just a week really to do the swap and swap back

[Black Dagger]

I learnt not to believe this sort of stuff thanks to the likes of Elliebrew but if it is then fair play.

[Greg!]

I don't get why they would have online live feed but only 6 hours a day, every other day, and only after the half way point of the series? Doesn't ring true to me but I guess we'll find out soon enough

[Denver]

Also 14 housemates with no new arrivals is very little for a potential 73 day series?

[thisisdanny]

He knew the eye release was at 9am. Or was that already public knowledge?

[Jack_]

The internationals thing would partly explain the new 'BOTS Goes Global' item which seems totally random to me, so I'd be here for that

But if the reason Saturday shows are being ditched is for a live task then they can keep it...that's not exciting at all. Live feed or nothing

I hope they make it into an event like FNL in Australia, I'm not sure people would tune in to live feed. Yes the die hard fans would, but if they're not doing anything entertaining then the passing viewers would switch off. At least if it's a live task I suppose technically it is live feed though

There's still VIP Big Brother in Italy and Spain still to air, so I presume they'll swap with one of those maybe?

[Rob!]

No offence but we tend to get at least one of these threads a year so I’m taking all this with a pinch of salt

Veronica finally getting a spot on International BB?

[Denver]

For the interantion twist to work they would have to let the viewers decide which housemate they want to bring over and vice versa

[Denver]

Also they would have to air the series from that country?

By live feed I mean the return of full, 24/7 coverage (probably online) to compensate for the lack of a Saturday show
