Of course, these housemates are totally RUMOURED, and are possibly true or possibly not true. in the past there have been leaks that have been fraudulent, but also in some occasions, newspapers have been spot on. For example in BB5, the papers not only identified there being about 4 gay/bissexuals, a transsexual, an asylum seeker, but identified exactly blond south african vanessa nimmo.

Some of the contestants sound very similar, so bound not to be 100% true.

2 DAYS TO GO!!

Another bunch of self obsessed, shallow, talentless people.

Series 3 was the best.

Yeah, they sort of went awry from series 5, and this series' contestants (assuming they're right) sound odd too.

They do sound odd, I guarantee you I'll get hooked and hate myself for watching it though!!

Tut tut, a teacher watching Big Brother, though my mum's a maths teacher and she watches it.

Unfortunately, the last few seasons have featured the same caricatures. A flamboyant gay contestant, a model who spends most of the time with her tits out and a black guy "from da streetz".....this list seems to be continuing the trend of vapid, talentless wannabes who plan to irritate the hell out of people for the enxt 2 months.

I really love Big Brother and all reality TV.

If you buy this week's Heat (I read a "friend's" copy) there are pictures of the house - there is an outdoor chandelier and urinals in the bathroom!

I hope we actually have housemates that get on this year. Although it's nice to see them row, it's cool when they get on and have "funny" moments.

Im soooooooooooooooooo excited, I dont like the idea of them going in on Thursday though, Its just not right.

Is BBLB back on at a decent time though? It was on in the morning for CBB

you sound like a haaaaater
are you a haaaaaaater?

we can't have that!!

anywho, the last two series have been by far the most exciting, despite the likeness to a zoo that the house has. cmon it's better than series 4...they couldn't even find 30 mins interesting stuff, but nowadays they're stretched to fit it all in an hour!

ONE DAY!!

I agree, lets lynch him

you on my level.

i know! friday nights are best... you can stay up all night watching the live feed and picking out who's taken a scunner to each other already.

last time i looked at a tv schedule it said 7:30pm on e4... but a) it may have been a repeat and b) it may have been big brother big brain, dermot's new show...

I am a massive BB fan, and looking forward to having it back on the screens. I think my fave housemates ever have to be....... Caggie and Nicola from the first ever, then Darren from that one two,,,,, then Cameron ( so sweet) and I adored Eugene lololol. My worst housmate ever has to be Makosi Man I hated her.

Last I heard she was going to be deported for exceeding her work permit regulations...

My faves of all time are Craig (BB1), Jade (BB3) and Euguene (BB?? the last one, lol). I loved Eugene as he reminds me of my autistic sone, I mean he was exactly like him, I always thought he might be autistic or have aspergers syndrome.

Ooooooooh it starts tonight, im off to buy my ringtone

Did anyone see Makosi and Lisa (from 2003) on the Lorraine Kelly show this morning? Makosi looked like a drag queen and all she did was moan about how much it's ruined her life and then start crying. Lisa, on the other hand, claims it's ruined her life yet used the whole interview trying to plug her book and basically saying "i'm every woman" - that's a lie, Lisa. We're not all stupid enough to go on Big Brother and then start crying every time we're in the paper or get recognised on the street.

They both annoyed me so much I wanted to hit them.

Oh yeah and (don't worry, I'll be done soon) Lisa says "it's been really easy for me to get my self-esteem back, i'm a really happy person" - oh, that's great Lisa! How did you do it?

30 GRAND PLASTIC SURGERY

wow, what a naturally happy and contented person you indeed are.

now i'm finished.

Now you can get back to studying!

I was watching that in the gym before and then I did three hours study - why does nobody trust me?

*cries*

(I'm having lunch now in case anyone wants to have a go at me for not studying)

u cant eat when your studyin its not allowed ha ha dont u know that???

I know but me mammy's coming to pick me up in a minute and I'm kind of not doing anything until she does

Of course you can eat while you're studying - I ate a muffin whilst on a treadmill once. That, my friends, is the way we all should exercise.

Yesterday I managed to revise in Starbucks for 3 hours and all I spent was a fiver - result!

*does a dance* I'm in such a good mood for no reason....
