Big Brother 5 - Latest News & Gossip!
Big Brother returns for it's fifth series soon, and it's expected to be the biggest and best yet! The producers have said that last years housemates were not interesting enough, and that they definitely learnt something from it! Here's the latest news on the show:
Confirmed News:
BB5 starts on May 28th 2004
Davina McCall will once again be presenting.
Davina has said that this year, the show will move away from trying to get housemates to have sex. She has said that this year the show will be about letting the housemates have fun, and if a romance develops on the way, then it's a bonus!
Live coverage will be airing 24/7 on E4, plus there will be a couple of hours of live coverage shown a few nights a week on Channel 4, as well as he highlight shows.
Since RI:SE was axed late last year, Channel 4 has been filling the gap with repeats of Friends. When BB returns, live coverage will be shown in the mornings.
Big Brother's Little Brother will be back, but it hasn't yet been announced if Dermot O'Leary will be presenting it.
02 will not be sponsoring BB this year.
BB producers were very pleased with the way the open auditions went this year, and have said that they were presented with a wide variety of different people and personalities.
Likely to happen, but still to be confir[/b]
BB5 will last for 10 weeks instead of the usual 9.
Rumour, but not confirmed:[/b]
Viewers will pick this years housemates, from a group shortlisted by producers.
Updated - 30/4/07 - Evicted housemates will be able to get their revenge, by voting for a housemate to be nominated for eviction the following week.
There will be only 1 bedroom this year, to stop the girl/boy divide the usually occurs.
Orange will be the new sponsor of BB.
Definitely not happening:
2 houses instead of 1, with the housemates split up.
New BB house will be fitted with a secret romp room.
New BB house will be fitted with mud baths.
That's it so far, but on May 3rd, pictures of the new house will be released, as well as some details about the new series. Not much has been confirmed yet, that's why there hasn't been many details in magazines/newspapers. I'll update the thread when more has been announced!

But wasn't the whole mud bath, romp room, one big bedroom thing in The Sun? I know they normally talk crap, but they were right about the pub last year...
Re: Big Brother 5 - Latest News & Gossip!
i think five versions are more than enough. i like the concept of the show, shame it flopped over here in such a tragical way. it lost against catalina's reality
Re: Big Brother 5 - Latest News & Gossip!
The thought of watching the boys with morning-glory while I'm eating my breakfast does seem to tempting to resist...
Re: Big Brother 5 - Latest News & Gossip!
I hope theres people like Helen (BB2) Brian (BB2) Jade (BB3) and Scott (BB4) in it this year because they were all great! And seriously, if there are NO FIT guys in there this time i will be complaining!! Who's idea was it to choose God Boy Cameron last time????
Looking forward to the series though! Apparently it is the last!
Re: Big Brother 5 - Latest News & Gossip!
I'm a total addict! Watch it every year like mad Actually, thinking about it, I don't think I've missed a single episode since the very first one of series one, when Darren was scared of the chickens and had to clean the coop
However - The American version that was on E4 and Jun won with Alison 2nd ..... that was just amazing! I hope the UK producers saw it and got some ideas from that
Re: Big Brother 5 - Latest News & Gossip!
In reply to the person who said that this years series of BB will be the last - it won't! Channel 4 have signed up with Endemol to do 4 more series' after this years, which would take them up to a Big Brother 9!
Although last years show wasn't the best, it was one of the best ratings wise. BB1 got least ratings, followed by BB2, then BB4. BB3 got the most! Just because it was bad last year, I still thnk they can make it big again. I think the producers have definitely learned from last years mistakes!
