Another series is almost upon us, kick off rumoured to be June 4th

Confirmed - The Live feed is not returning in it's 24/7 form due to 'cost cutting', but there is going to be a few hours from 11.30pm to 6am

And the eye has been revealed - http://www.channel4.com/bb_holding/index.jsp

This has to be a pretty damn good series or I'd say it would be the last... I can see viewers turning off in their droves this time round after the last few pretty tame series. I think it's had its day.

We said it was make or break last year, and it pretty much hung on by its fingernails!

This year is certainly worth having a look at least - knowing the majority of us we'll at least be tuning in to the launch show, laughing at who's gone in, and then most like H will be stopping there!

Can't wait!

Eye flash on Channel 4

noone wants to watch a house full of losers shout at each other

Nobody will be watching during the day seeing the red button is gone for good and we are only getting a miniscule bit of live coverage late at night

Extended eye flash as of today

Well, I for one hope that this year's housemates are much better than last year's

If this one flops, then it's goodbye Big Brother

I think next year is supposed to be the last one, they have a contract with C4 for two more series including this one.

I think the contract for the property runs out either this year or the next one. I quite liked last year's contestants. I don't like CBB as much.

First full ad has aired and start date confirmed for June 4th

Here we go!!!!! Hope it's not a house full of weirdos....I enjoyed last year even though I didn't like the winner.
Think BB will make it tougher this time as the jail failed.

I've been reading a lot about tonight, all I can say is the housemates should be prepared for the worst!

A good set of housemates should be going in tonight, with the heavy rumour thought to be that only TWO of them being taken, the rest single! Some rumours we've heard in the build-up have proved to be true remember

Anyway, me and Rich will definitely be posting on here, I'm sure others will be too. I won't bother setting up a spoilers thread this year; instead what we can do is post above a spoiler box what the nature of it is, like so:

The first housemate to go into the House tonight will be:



I'll be at work til 9.30 so I'll catch you guys later! Enjoy the launch show!

One of my mum's friends knows one of the people going in. Well, she's out of work now and her Facebook has been taken down. I think she is called Samantha, but can't remember.

Sounds like something they'd do; reminiscent of BB7 where they had to go without their suitcases for the first week until they joined a group of housemates that were safe from the first public vote!

What's happened to the walk into the house? It's been cut really short and there isn't much of a crowd. If Endemol want to make it work they will need to put in a bit more of an effort. Notice both staircases... Do we think that the sides of the house will be created again?

Sooo a toff, a lesbian a girl with big eyes and a lad from Shrewsbury.... not a bad bunch so far.

I really like Angel, Rodrigo and Sophia so far.

I think Saffia is the one my mum's friend knows. not sure though.
