Launch night twist revealed!
One house, sixteen people, no housemates...

Want to find out what the Big Brother 10 launch twist will be? Look no further - you can find out here…

Tonight, 16 new contestants, 8 men and 8 women, will enter the Big Brother house for the very first time. Each of them has a plan to entertain us over the summer months and leave the house victorious (and £100,000 richer).

All that Big Brother is revealing about them for now is they are the most diverse line-up ever, coming from a wide range of countries and backgrounds. The eldest contestant is 40, whilst the youngest is 18.

However, what they don’t know is that they won’t be official housemates and they won’t have full access to the Big Brother house.

Over the next three days, the hopefuls will have to individually earn their housemate status by completing tasks that have been designed to challenge their fears and pride.

Some challenges will require individuals to go head to head in an attempt to become bona fide housemates.

Only once the hopefuls have been granted housemate status will they allowed access to the ‘real’ house.

Until then, they can only access the living room (which is void of all creature comforts), a toilet and the garden. They will not be allowed their suitcases and must sleep on the living room floor.

There is also an outdoor bath, which can be filled by carrying cold water in a hole-ridden bucket across the garden.

Sharon Powers, BB10’s executive producer, said: “After ten years, we are trying to come up with ways of surprising viewers and housemates.”

What do you think of the twist? Let us know below, and don’t forget to tune in to the launch at 9pm on Channel 4.

Stick with bbspy!

It’s a brilliant twist.

“whilst the youngest 16″

You can’t audition until you’re 18, so how does that work?

Elektriks says: June 4, 2009 @ 12:04 am

The 16 year old may be a youtube auditionee? 16 is really quite young to enter the house. I hear phones ringing in OFCOM offices already (sigh).

Typo. I didn’t have time to proofread before it went live. :P

Elektriks says: June 4, 2009 @ 12:05 am

T’was a typo. Nevermind. I’m glad of it to be honest. 40 isn’t very old for the eldest though.

Nice Twist! When is the new bbspy site launching?

Well… says: June 4, 2009 @ 12:07 am

Not sure about this twist.. knowing my luck my favourite will be evicted due to one of the tasks…

Can you imagine someone like Nikki BB7, a GREAT housemate, being able to deal with anything like this (cold baths, etc)?!). No, me neither!

Too much info C4. Give it all away why don’t you?

A more cryptic teaser would have been better - something like “13 weeks. 1 house. No housemates.”

Elektriks says: June 4, 2009 @ 12:14 am

Jen says: June 4, 2009 @ 12:15 am

Elektriks says: June 4, 2009 @ 12:15 am

Oh…and whoever goes doesn’t get an eviction they just get sent packing.

Matt says: June 4, 2009 @ 12:22 am

R.e. the new site - unfortunately we’ve been experiencing technical difficulties in getting it live. Hopefully it should be up in some form by this afternoon.

Ryan says: June 4, 2009 @ 12:24 am

:)

Im sure it is worth the wait :)

I Cant blooming wait!

this is the best twist ever. They will go in expecting champers and instead have an empty room with nothing but crates!

It’s too much…I hate it when Housemates don’t get (IMO) fair chances. I really wanted Bonnie to stay in BB7, and she just didn’t get the chance because of a stupid first week twist. I really do think that hms should just be left alone in the first week, so we can get to know them properly and decide who we like and who we don’t. And I think earning the furniture would be enough frankly, that seemed like something new and original that wouldn’t affect the format of the show too much.

Just to let you know i told bbspy this when last night …… .

Great report but they did give too much away.

Dan! says: June 4, 2009 @ 3:59 pm
