Sounds good! Shocker in the bag already.

[Annie]

Early eviction or maybe live task?

[Jackie]

Early eviction would be good.

[Tom4784]

It's not huge news. It'll probably be an eviction. Which is stupid, we'll end up getting rid of a good HM all too quickly again.

[Blacteria]

I don't like the idea of an early eviction. Sunday is way too early.

A twist would be great.

[Hugo]

If it's an eviction then I'll be p/o'd.

[Brekkie]

I think you might be underselling it a bit President.

I agree, an early eviction would just be a very lazy twist. It needs to be something original.

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

Sounds good to me.

[Tom]

Over exaggerating much?

Yes, eviction would be very lazy.

I have a feeling it will be the ending of the launch night twist possibly.

Now one show, not two - but it will send shockwaves through the house.

Now I'm excited!

This better be good, and not just an eviction. But the line they've used sounds interesting.

[Tom]

It seems odd to have a show longer than the launch. It must be something pretty special if its that long though 9pm-10.40pm would be much better.

[Fom]

I HATE early evictions. They always get rid of a possibly decent housemate!

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

I don't think it's an eviction. I think it'll be a conclusion to the twist we get on Launch.

Big problem with the 10-11:40pm special. Its on way too late.
People would be at school the next day, (well i wont nor will all the 16 year olds) but the younger viewers that mayw atch it, and adults going to work early the next day.

Remember what happened in CBB6 one that finished at about that time... it got 1.9m (the 2nd lowest rating ever).

I think a huge number of teenagers watch Big Brother, yes, but kids im not so sure about. Unless their is a sizeable enough demographic of some really unlucky thirteen or fourteen year olds who are still told to go to bed by their parents .

but the 11pm show when Lisa and Sara split that money in BB9 rated as well as the 9pm episode that day. Also with no other show splitting Big Brother up, it wont lose a huge amount of it audience especially if its a good twist.

I have a feeling it will be second launch show sort-of-thing.

I think they've got two parts of the houses, sort of like two houses.

The main group enter on Thursday launch night, with the other smaller group on Sunday.

That would be epic, and a really amazing business move, because at best their going to attempt to get TWO launch night audiences.

I found that weird, I expected the CBB6 twist to do well like the BB9 one, but not sure why it was much lower. When was the exact time the CBB6 was on?? Im sure it almost ran onto midnight.(was it until 11:50pm?)

ive watched it since BB2 and Im 16 (i was 9), and all my friends started watching it during BB3, so im sure there is quite a sizeable amount of kids watching it. And there are lots of non strict parents who would let their children of 11-15 watch the show.

If they're doing that then they want to watch they aren't putting too many in. Maybe 10 and a twist on Thursday then Friday/Saturday/Sunday getting to know them, then another 6 on the Sunday with twist conclusion? Otherwise it just risks being like BB8 and having about 18 people in the house at once.

It probably won't be an early eviction as i could be this thing that made Davina gasp, so it's gotta be something good
