I feel no excitement for this series of BB. I'm tired of the shows format. They'll have to really shake things up a bit this year to keep in interested.

I'm sick of the usual array of housemates they stick in there, lets see, there's the "token gay", "token loud mouth", "token wierdo", "token bimbo/WAG wannabe"...

Isn't this going to be starting soon? I don't recall seeing anything about it on TV or the papers... To be honest I had actually forgotten it would be running this year...

Anything interesting in there? Or was it the usual fake rumours? All housemates will HAVE to be naked 24/7! There is going to be a stipper in the house! Big Brother bosses want to 'sex things up'... etc.

Well, HOTpopcorner's Big Brother 9 is on it's way - SUMMER IS HERE! It starts this Thursday, just 3 days away. I have seen some adverts on TV for it now, heard plenty of rumours and had a sneak peek at the house! The pictures will be coming soon...!

Has anyone been watching the BB9 auditions, on E4? The next show is on tonight at 9pm. It's not brilliant but it's pretty funny to see some of the weirdo's that get rejected! :^

BIG BROTHER 9 HOUSE PICTURES REVEALED!!

The Big Brother House Entrance

The new entrance to the House - check out the shattered eyes!

Image

The Big Brother Dining Area and Kitchen

The separate kitchen area is ultra modern with a triangular central island and stainless steel and wood bench tops.

Image

The Big Brother Kitchen

A red theme runs throughout the kitchen with red and orange crockery, red walls and red and silver appliances.

Image

The Big Brother Bedroom

The new bedroom features ultra basic beds, scratchy thin blankets and uncomfortable matresses...

Image

The Big Brother Bedroom 2

..adding to the dormitory atmosphere are 'locker' walls and drawers - what can it all mean?

Image

The Big Brother Bathroom

The new bathroom is a souped-up sanctuary.

Image

The Big Brother Bathroom 2

This bathroom screams Donald Trump meets P Diddy... with its sumptuous gold and blue decor.

Image

The Big Brother Bathroom 3

A huge bath, complete with an ostentatious 'swan' tap will be the ultimate retreat for housemates.

Image

The Big Brother Garden - Seating Area

Lounge chairs and armchairs make the garden the perfect place to gossip.

Image

The Big Brother Garden - Pool

For those wanting a more private gossip there's even an enclosed seating area.

Image

The Big Brother Garden - Mangle

Looks like the housemates haven't escaped the mangle.

Image

Thoughts?

Has anyone else noticed that there are only 8 chairs at the dining table? And it seems as if there's only 8 beds in the bedroom as well?! Surely there won't just be 8 housemates? Unless im missing something.

It's interesting how the bathroom is quite luxurious compared to the bedroom that looks to me like a prison cell with those flimsy beds! Because of this, I thought that the shattered eye may resemble some sort of divide in the house this year? Hmm.. who knows. :?

I really like the house this year, it's nicely designed. :-)

Im not as excited as I have been in previous years about the return of Big Brother but I will still be tuning in and no doubt become addicted. Im just interested to see how Big Brother are going to make this one a success, as it has become a bit boring as the years have gone by and I always enjoy seeing the housemates go in.

I'm sure I'll get interested when I watch the first episode. :-)

There's not long left... I hope they don't fill the house with a bunch of freaks, I'd rather see normal people in the house.

Well, it's launch night and I have to say I am feeling excited a little more now. I hope they don't disappoint us this year!

And, housemates you say?

Well here's a taste of what's to come from an OFFICIAL source:

* One housemate does stand-up comedy

* One housemate has been deported from America

* One housemate is a DJ

* One housemate is a Buddhist

* One housemate is Muslim

* One housemate wears a watch worth £13,000

* Three housemates have children

* Three housemates were born outside the UK

* One housemate has appeared in a film with Hugh Grant

* One housemate has had a breast enlargement

* One housemate has never watched Big Brother

* The oldest housemate is 42


Sound like an interesting bunch. :?

Ok, zero tolerance. There's a Big Brother jail this year. Consistantly breaking the rules results in going into solitary confinement. :^
