Do you reckon they will send in a record breaking 18 housemates on launch as a way to pay tribute to the birthday?

They will most likely send in ate entrants any way so they may aswell just send the bulk in on launch

2 triple evictions then

I have a feeling we will have 16-18 Housemates on launch and possibly 2 All Star Celebs about halfway through.

might work if its a good group of people but it could be overwhelming!

Too many

18 housemates would be too much, it would only work for two houses twists like BB17.

A BB launch must have a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 16...

I think 16 is perfect.

2 or 4 newbies throughout.

Unless 16 went in on launch night and the last 2 were late entrees.

18 is to much we only get a 45 highlight show each night so its hard to get to know the housemates as it is and would require ALOT of evictions which again doesn't give us the chance to really get to know the characters. A lot of people wouldn't get any airtime i think 14 is the perfect amount and 2 late entrants if it gets boring.

I love how people say 18's too much when Love Island have had 38 contestants going in this year

That's just a ridiculous ammount though and proves my point that viewers have complained that they weren't even aware of some couples due to them not getting the airtime.
