It's official, we have BB8 starting on Wednesday 30th May. The ads are on channel 4, and the theme certainly seems to be bright colours! My personal favourite eye ever this time.

Discussion thread for this year's show starts here

I liked the gold eye better. This isn't bad though. Looking forward to it Especially after 25th June, when I can start watching it obsessively like every year.

I liked the gold eye. They've only done a a colourful one to show that they're not racist. Can't wait for BB though!! I'll be recording it and watching it an hour later because of The Apprentice - but I'm SO excited!!

Hope there's some hunks in there. Or some bald, gay men like Richard. Ah, Richard...

This eye is the best. And looking at house pictures, the house is the best one yet too. (bedroom = five beds + oven. The five beds are 2 quadruple beds, 1 triple, 1 double and 1 single I think)

3 days!!!! *obsessive fan*

There is also a second garden which according to the papers is supposed to be for some 'sexual' use at Big Brother's discretion.

As for the logo, it is said to represent a 60's style, as the 60's was one of the most active eras yet, and apparently the tasks to be set this year are going to be made to make the housemates closer to each other than ever before. They are so desperate for some nookie this year obviously!

Amazingly, the best series yet (BB7) was the only recent series without nookie! So IT ISN'T NEEDED, CAN'T THEY SEE THAT?!?!

I don't agree that BB7 was the best...it was probably one of the worst really. I think my favourite was BB2, although 1, 3 and 5 were great too. 4 was crap, and 6 and 7 had far too many people whom I just wanted to kill.

I would say 3 or 7 was the best, followed by 6. I didn't see 1, or most of 2, and I didn't like 4 or 5 (4 = boring 5 = no likeable people AT ALL)

Me and my friends have got a competition going-we've all chosen the number of a housemate and we put in money each week they're in, whoever has the winning housemate gets all the money etc. Go random housemate 13!

There are 13 going in on Wednesday and the first big shock is that someone is going to be evicted TWO DAYS LATER!!!...WITH A REPLACEMENT GOING IN!!!

This is apparently to unsettle the housemates form the very start. Jeez I thought the no suitcase start last year was bad enough!

Urgh, I wish they'd learn from what went wrong with the past series but they always just seem to want to introduce more pointless twists ASAP. It was best when they just went in and got on as normal for a couple of weeks so you could get to know them...in recent series they've started messing about the minute they get in, which detracts from the fun of just watching the people, and often means the most interesting ones get evicted straight away.

Nothing has been confirmed for what is happening on the Friday night-all we know is that SOMETHING is.

Plus, I made a '2 days' signiture (see below)

I never said it was definite. It's what has been rumoured. And the rumours aren't usually far from the truth when it comes to Big Brother.

I just hope we don't get so many early departures like last year. What a waste!

Haha, had a bizarre dream last night that Bunney was the first housemate into the Big Brother House!!

I had a dream where Thanh was a housemate! I'm sure somewhere along the line a few DOND contestants must apply for Big Brother-how cool if one of them became a housemate!

I have a horrible feeling it will happen...

lol something you know qwerty? lol
in one of the sunday papers yesterday it was giving a run down of the house and the bath is in the living room , the oven is in the bedroom and theres a 4 person, 3 person and a double and single bed,
in the garden is the fridge. I dont usually get into big brother till a few weeks into it.
Oh and I often bump in to Dan Bryant ex contestant lol. he works near me.

Well, it'd better be Thanh

I tend to agree with this statement.

2 & 3 are still my favs. I did't like the divide in series 3 to start with, but it became a great idea.

BRING BACK THE SATURDAY NIGHT TASKS!

I completely agree!! They were brilliant and I cant see why they had to get rid of them.

Haha no, just a thought, my dream has got me wondering now!

Oh yes, the live ones! They were great!

Probably axed because of fears of problems, eg contestants refusing to take part, or running out of time, or bad language.
