Default Reveal Cast few days before Launch or Reveal on Launch

I made a thread about this last year and I can't seem to find it and funny enough they actually did reveal the cast a few days before Launch after I made that thread.

Would you like them to do it again this year or would you want to wait until Launch

Reveal on launch!

While it was cute that they were revealed a few days before, the launch seemed pointless

On launch night. I hated the early reveal last year and having to try to dodge housemate spoilers on here.

For the civilian series, definitely on launch. However, I wouldn't object to them revealing the CBB cast before launch again (but not all in one go - they should take some tips from Strictly and "reveal" a housemate on a different platform).

tbh they should reveal CBB before the launch like any other RTV show for celebs because it's never a secret we always know like 80/90% of them.

I prefer it for the cast to be a secret until launch on BBUK.

There was definitely less excitement on launch night last year already knowing who was going into the house

On launch. Revealing the HMs beforehand lessens the excitement.

No difference to me.

Their name and a picture doesn't really reveal much. It's the VTs that matter when it comes to introducing them.

Knowing who was going in already added absolutely nothing to the series. If anything it dampened the launch buzz.

Voted a few days before.. but only because i want adverts like this in the lead up to the launch.. I want to know who they are before knowing who they are.

Oh I like that actually. It's like The Apprentice candidate teasers they've done recently.

The excitement of launch night evaporates when you know who the housemates are. Considering it's the main point of the episode, there's not really any point in watching it if we already have prior knowledge of who is actually entering.

For BB17 definitely reveal the housemates on launch night but I agree with other posters about the CBB cast being revealed a few days before, IAC do it and thats a bigger and better show. Makes it easier to decide if the celebs are worth watching.

They revealed the cast earlier last year due to the whole time thing and I don't think it's going to happen again.
