Great idea and can't live without it?

or

Too un original?

[Captain.Remy]

I think we should have some but not too late, like on week 5 and only 3 housemates.

[Chrizzle]

Nope. I think it works perfectly without new HMs, example CBB4.

[Mike]

They should add a few just to keep things interesting inside the house and also to keep viewers watching but don't go OTT adding people just for the sake of it, also don't add them too late into the series, they have no chance whatsoever due to the other HM's already having their fanbases.

[Wildcat!]

I think they should doit. It brings freshness and changes the house dynamics. BUt never too late, thats just pointless. A good example is aisleyne and sam in BB7. They brought them in at the right time!

[Tom]

Yes but no more than three and no more silly HND gimmick. Its evolved since BB5 and BB7 seemed to be the natural time to cut it off and end it. I think they killed it with BB8's HWH.

I'd like more housemates to be added in the way Aisleyne and Sam were added or something similar, original and not drawn out.

Totally agree with you Tom & there should be no more than 2/3 people added to the house in my opinion

[Dan_]

Only three or four at most, it became so silly last series with seemingly as many entering throughout the series as what they did on the launch night.

It should be part of a one off twist or just as replacement housemates for those that have walked.

[SexualHeroics]

It's a good idea.

[Bright-Eyes]

I have always enjoyed having new housemates.

[Killian]

I'm sick of new housemates coming in half way through. It ruins it a little for me to be honest.

[brohoe]

i think they should have the chance to win a house mate

Week 1 Launch - 16 HM
Week 2 1st eviction 15 HM
Week 3 2nd eviction 14HM
Week 4 3rd evitiction, 1st double eviction , Chance to win a house mate 12/13HM
Week 5 4th evition, 2nd double eviction, chance to win a house mate 10/14 HM
Week 6 5th eviction, 9/13 HM
Week 7 6th eviction 8/12 HM
Week 8 7th eviction 7/11 HM
Week 9 8th eviction 6/10 HM
Week 10 9th Eviction, if ther is 6 or 7 or 8 house mates ,evicton/ if their is 9 or 10 house mates double eviction 5/6/7/8 HM
Week 11 10th eviction, if 5, single eviction, if 6 ,double eviction, if 7 triple eviction,if eight triple eviction 4/5
Week 12 - Final 3/4 HM evicted

[Killian]

There are thirteen weeks this year, not twelve I think?

[*mazedsalv**]

Only if someone walks.

[ProjectWeirdo]

Yeah, but nore more than 2-3!! And not half-way through, that's kinda annoying. =P

[Nicola]

Maybe a few early on, give them chance to get a fanbase, or if someone walks or gets kicked out of the house (which normally tends to happen in the early weeks anyway!) I wouldn't have too many at a late stage in the game as most of them end up being evicted anyway as people will already have their favourites.

[Tom]

When they put in 5 or 6 in one go it feels like the series has been drawn out because there has to be so many evictions and these evictions are almost always the newcomers. Its like the series is put on hold for a few weeks. Also last year with them entering, it was on Day 59- ironic that how in BB1-4 that would have been a week from the end.

[Barbie]

I have never been too keen on new housemates.. they are never as interesting as the original bunch and are always evicted quite soon after entry.. exception is Aiselyne who was brought in at completely the right time.. if we have new HM's they should enter soon after launch and must be as interesting as the original housemates like Aiselyne

[Matt]

I don't mind seeing new housemates mid-series, but it depends what Big Brother does with them and how many there are.

[BigSister]

no unless they are replacing one that has walked . Only really at the beginning of the series maybe 4 weeks is the latest an housemate could be put in

[Cody™]

Defo new housemates, it increases interest. But not too late in the series. And they should enter in innovative ways. Not just through the main door after an eviction.

[stonedape]

I say no more than one or two. The best intruder twist was Season 6's Secret Garden. Unfortunately, they seemed to have dried up in the twists department so I'd prefer they just come in after an eviction now. Intruders tend to be either one-dimensional or eye candy, make them something relevant instead.

[Wozzy]

Maxium 2, and added similar to Ash and Sam in BB7, and around the same time as them too.
