MMMMM looks different i wounder if it will be as good as celeb big brother? i've not seen phone jacker myself ,so i wounder if its like that.when it says high jack that tells me the house mates will do just that & take over the show & even though channel 4 & E4 taken the 1st night E4 will carry it fordward but then E4 does anyway mostly with C4 taking the 9pm ish highlights

I think the idea is that celebrities will take the role of Big Brother and that young talented teenagers will be the HM's.

iounder if it will better then the celeb verson?

It should be. It really has gotten to the point of no return; they need something fresh this year else Big Brother might be all over after this year. It might be pointless telly, but if it really is pointless, why does it have all of us gossiping at work every day during the summer over who did what to whoever, and who should be eviced on the Friday! You cannot take that away from our British summers; it has become a tradition.

Though it must be said, Big Brother 9 had better be 10 x better than this year's!

As for this series in January, me and Richie will set up a spoilers thread once it's kicked off so you can keep up to date with everything that's going on

well i certainly look forward to that, yes i agree BB9 had be better or it'll start to cave in on itself. i think the shows done well since it start back in 2000.was it roumered that the shows venue was going to be moved elsewhere or did i here wrong? i think BB9 needs to be more fun ,more fresh ideas,yes more sex & the bedrooms more sorted out so theres no choice but housemates to share one to one only beds or mayby i'm going a bit OTT here. but i feel deep down the show wont last beyond 2010 it will have to make way for a new generation of reality shows

Big Brother can only lose originality, it can't lose it's hardcore fans!

The huge downer is of course Dermot O'Leary won't be part of the Big Brother setup from the summer; this celebrity series will be his last...

Sex on TV... great gossip that would make lmao, just remember these are humans and most wouldn't wanna be remembered for bonking on national TV.

When certain things happened this year, I remember something a girl at at work said, really clearly: "She's 19, how the f*ck can she do that on national TV? She's gonna get cussed down for LIFE!"

Enough said.

Here's a little account of someone who went to the BB9 auditions in Cardiff and what happened

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/show ... stcount=62

is this going to some sort of couples show this year?,at least thats what i'm thinking looking at that link you put iin

They were letting more extreme people, couples and siblings through, at least for the Cardiff auditions....

Will be interesting to see what other people around the country will say for the auditions and what the turnouts were like

how soon does one get the 1st look at the new BB9 set?

You usually get sneak peeks about a month before the show starts, so probably about July.

As for the celebrity specials, it is usually the same house as the one used the previous summer, then a few minor changes to make it more user friendly for the winter. E.g. indoor pool not outdoor

isn't the show already on the air in july or in the middle of it?

Meant April...my bad...was me thinking for a wild second that it STARTED in August lol!

You get to see usually at the end of April...they don't start decorating til the end of March anyways.

I'm actually surprised that C4 are having any kind of BB on this January. Though it has been relegated to E4 I see.

I've been a fan of BB since series 2 but last year's show I just hardly ever watched.

Also why do they try and sex up the show and when someone actaully does something a bit sexy they cut it as it's too rude

i think C4 are doing the one off live launch & E4 will then take the rains,i only hope its better than last years,& no headline hitter

First rumours of the line-up have been spread - one name I've heard is Matt Lucas

MATT LUCAS! well theres a start,any more ingredients?

I heard that Joan Rivers is doing it aswell, ive heard the name but i cant put a face to her
