With the twist rumours going round of the final in some way effecting the normal BB, and with a CBB housemate going in to BB theory ruled out with practicability factors, I have my own theory.

Each housemate after leaving will choose two housemates to enter the big brother house the following night. This could be from pictures, numbers etc. This would make 14 housemates (16 if Jedward choose separately).

Probably from a shortlist of about 30, ensuring there's a good mix. Maybe each housemate will quickly be shown VT of four housemates and asked to choose two to go in?

Discuss.

I don't want HMs chosen randomly by people who have no clue about them. The whole point of the long auditions process is for the producers to discover good potential HMs. Thats what theyre paid to do and they should bloody do it.

Sounds like a bad idea.

This idea shouldn't even be considered.

If they say have a shortlist of 20+ as to potential housemates, who chooses who actually goes in doesn't matter,it's always going to be from the list of however many are selected for consideration anyway.

Whether the production team and others choose them or whether the outgoing CBB housemates does cannot make much difference as to who goes in in reality.

I don't know, don't think I mind who makes the choices from the list really.

Agree. Based on the OP's idea: it wouldn't be random - those potential hms that the celebs would be picking from, will have been sifted and have been chosen as having made the grade anyway - the only thing the CBB hms would be doing is making a selection from those the auditioning team/crew would have been marking as hms anyway.

All the celebs would be doing is deciding on a bunch of auditionees that have already been whittled down by the auditioning team as being right for taking part - all the hard work will have been done: the celeb would pick from those who have been considered to be the best candidates after all the sifting process.

I don't see it a big deal if that happened tbh.
