oh no

BB tired, old & boring !

we don't want any more stupid people trying to get there 15 minutes & try & become a Z lister, all they are is just wasters !

Thank you! My point exactly It's alright to watch one series but NINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or however many there are/will have been by the end of the next one.

George Lamb and Zezi Ifore have been confirmed as the new presenters of Big Brother's Little Brother.

Celebrity Big Brother is also expected to return within the next year too. Which I'm pleased to hear about... best bit of Big Brother in my opinion.

[goldengirl]

Who is Zezi Ifore? Tried Google Images but no luck!!

I like George Lamb tho, is he the one that presented Celebrity Scissorhands 2? the "Cheaper than Alex Zane" Bloke?

[Behelzebub]

Looks like Channel 4 have finally started teasing it then, I've noticed the odd shot of the new logo pop up in the ad breaks. Seems to be starting quite late this year, is it to do with Britain's Got Talent? Or that Oliver thing on BBC1?

I like George Lamb tho, is he the one that presented Celebrity Scissorhands 2? the "Cheaper than Alex Zane" Bloke?

Indeed he is, he's also a DJ on 6 Music. Although he's not that great tbh, there's currently an online petition going round to get him axed I think.

[goldengirl]

Rumors are starting already! Apparently a married woman, with 2 children who has cheated on her husband with Footballers is set to be one of this years contestants!

Also the cousin of Grace (off of BB7) is apparerntly lined up, not as an initial contestant but as a "possibly later" type person! http://www.shelleyshort.co.uk/

Do no regular, normal people apply for Big Brother now? What happened to the Craig's and Tom's (off of BB1) of this world?

Davina McCall has warned that housemates will suffer on this year's Big Brother.

The presenter said the ninth series of the show, which launches on June 5, will be the toughest yet for the contestants.

She told the Press Association: "Big Brother is no longer going to be lenient in any way, shape or form. If there's any kind of rule breaking, they're going to come down on them like a ton of bricks.

"You're not just going to be able to saunter into the Diary Room and go: 'Hi yeah, can I just get some gas for my curling tongs?' No, no, no, no - they're basically gonna make housemates suffer a bit more, which will be a good thing, I think."

She added: "We've been a bit soft the last couple of years. This is not a holiday camp, you know. This is an entertainment programme and we need a winner."

McCall recently denied rumours that she is quitting Big Brother after the next series.

Some pictures of the new BB House courtesy of the R1 Website

New BB Eye:

Scary Diary Room door & dining table with only 8 chairs?

Rather angular kitchen:

Bedroom with only 8 uncomfortable looking beds (R1 Site says there are supposed to be 16 Housemates tho!):

Bathroom with foot stools that look like Giant Caramel sweets!:

Hideous Swan Taps!:

[goldengirl]

New pool:

Smokers corner where the smokers can sit inside a Giant Ashtray! Loves it!!:

[dstrkzn]

I Love it! Its only 9 Days away The Giant Ashtray totally rocks.

[Jono]

I'm suing. My house looks exactly like that.

[YoppaDo]

Giant Ashtray is a touch of class. Must wonder what they have planned for the other 8 housemates, half-way house already?

Is this the same house as before? I'm sure they're meant to move studios soon.

[dstrkzn]

I just found this...

Show chiefs have been granted planning permission to stage up to 22 live shows at Elstree TV Studios this year.

22! WOW! If you think about double evictions and one or two going in on one night there could be a lot of big twists

[simonf]

Cannot wait for this to start! Admittedly the last few series have been awful (been boring since Jade's CBB year) and I lost interest during the last series and stopped watching BUT I'm living in hope that it'll return to what it once was! The only girls twist they did last year was a bad start to a dismal series but I'm crossing my fingers that it'll be great from the start this year like the Shabaz and Kitten years. Annoying people but they really kick started the show and they were gone pretty quickly!

[goldengirl]

No Shabaz or Kitten please!!!!!!

Can't wait tho! Wonder if it is set to be a half way house with there only being 8 beds or if it'll be a girls room / boys room like in earlier series' but we are only getting to see one room at the moment. No double beds this year tho, that doesn't bode well for the romance???

[Guest]

It feels deceptively provocative and looks horrid but I suppose that's the idea.

[simonf]

Not liking the 8 chairs and 8 beds though...separate houses and whatnot has been done to death in the last few. It was good at first because the housemates weren't expecting it but now it just annoys me! Hopefully there's some other reason for the lack of furniture!

[goldengirl]

It says on Digital Spy that this is the biggest BB House yet. I hope it's not 2 houses, I agree that is totally done to death! Really didn't like the all girl beginning to last years so hope it's not an all male one this year! Blah!

Can't wait tho! Good by summer, bring on the telly addiction

[dstrkzn]

Hours to go! And theres a Friday Night Project BB special tonight!

How hot is that BB Chair

[Behelzebub]

I know I shouldn't watch it, I don't even care about it that much any more... but against my better judgement I'm going to anyway. Just because there's sod all else on.

[Jono]

I'll probably Sky+ it because of work.

[dstrkzn]

I read something on teletext earlier saying that 1 housemate was deported from america, 3 are parents and 1 is 42, 3 are from outside the uk, and one is a buddhist.

[goldengirl]

I cannot wait!!!! BB Chair is amazing!!!!!!!!

Apparently there is also a Pop Idol Reject who was put off the show for being too young?

[Mike]

Apparently there is a blind man going in.

At the moment i really can't be arsed with it... But i know i will be interested as to what happens.

[YoppaDo]

Not as hyped about it as I would usually be (brings back memories of running home like a maniac to see the BB7 launch). Hopefully, they fix some of the problems we've had in the past few years and brng viewers back.

There were 4 series before BB5 came along and restored life to the series, BB9 needs to try and do the same thing.

[dstrkzn]

Theres a Jail... will that not bring viewers back ?

[goldengirl]

2 and a bit hours to go
