I thought this would be the theme .HOH and power of veto.

Hate Luisa so BBBOTS is deffo out for me .

 You were right Erin 

It could be a good BB, the power theme causing divisions 

only if BB doesn't try and manipulate nominations . Hope your well Roger

The first details about when Big Brother 2014 starts have been revealed today.

While Channel 5 have not yet confirmed the exact launch date, they have announced that the show will launch in the first week of June.

The likely launch date is either Thursday June 5 or Friday June 6, although it’s possible that BOTH may host a split launch similar to last year.

The new series of BBUK is set to see quite the twist of the upcoming run being named ‘Big Brother: Power Trip’.

Says Channel 5: “This year Big Brother is offering housemates the ultimate prize…Power! Whoever has the power will be able to influence, twist and control events in the house like never before in Big Brother: Power Trip.

“Big Brother: Power Trip will initiate on launch night with Emma Willis and it will dominate the house for the summer. Housemates will have to be ruthless to seize power, keep it and impose their will on the rest of the house.

“The housemates aren’t the only ones – viewers will also be given the power to manipulate housemates throughout the series.”

Meanwhile be sure to check our website tomorrow (Saturday) for a first look at this year’s BBUk house as it’s worked on ahead of launch night.

Doing ok Erin thanks for asking  How are you keeping?

Yeah BB are always messing with things  

I heard on the grapevine that someone called Chelsey Harwood will be a HM, by all accounts she is a well known transsexual from Liverpool, if this is true theres ya winner. 

I hope not, she's already been on a reality show.  I want regular Joe Bloggs people. 

Being a contestant has to remain secret so if her FB has info regarding her bing a HM then sheshould lose her place .The rumour came from BBXtra who are not a legitimate source.

Vote to save

Emma /Rylan promo pictures

Vote to save is the only way forward for BB...unless we do away with the public vote altogether and let the HM's pick eachother off like they do on BBUSA.

I disagree Video ....IMO vote to save is simply an increased money spinner for the programme makers ....and serves to keep in awful people like the guy ( whose name escapes me ) who ended up wailing away with several thousand pounds ....but who would have been evicted earlier for sure if it had been vote to evict! 

Baz, do you mean that knuckle-dragger Conor? I agree 

Yes, that's him Rosie I knew it started with a C , but kept thinking Cameron 

Save /evict BB manipulate the edit to get the result they want.

lol ...not THAT Cameron ....the BB one

Easy mistake

VTS isn't perfect and sometimes we have to swallow some bitter pills, but it would most likely stop horrible winners like Sam, and it was thanks to VTS that gave us Aaron as winner, vote to evict would seen Aaron get evicted early and would have seen Jay or Alex winning, and no one sane wanted that. Lol

That's so true, I remember in C4 days how my eyes were opened when I did start watching live feed. The contrast to the edited show.

Will this years BB coincide with the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ ????

I'm going to have to watch the footy.

Yes, it will EC ...it starts at the beginning of June ....

Ta Baz.

I think the football may take presidence.

I thought it might We've missed you in the 5 o'clock club this week

I've been working and also got computer issues (this is a temporary solution I'm using at the moment). But I've missed the last week. Has it been good?

The Big Brother 2014 start date has been confirmed for Thursday, June 5.

The fifteenth series of the Channel 5 show will kick off its live launch from 9PM, with this year’s show being named ‘Power Trip’.

And once again, the launch night will be split over two nights, with the second half airing on the Friday, June 6.

The BBUK live launch will air for 90 minutes with Emma Willis at the helm.

Bit On The Side, hosted by Emma together with Rylan Clark and Luisa Zissman, will follow from 10:30PM with an hour special.

Launch night will then conclude with a 30 minute live feed straight from the house until midnight.

Channel 5 hasn’t given much more info away about the Power Trip twist with the show synopsis, which reads simply: “Series which follows the lives of a group of people who have volunteered to spend several weeks in the Big Brother house, being filmed 24 hours a day, in the hope of winning a large cash prize.”

Yay! Thank you Mrs H  and Erin 

Hi MrsH ,it's that time again .

Get your thread up and stickied

Gogglebox’s George Gilbey has been linked to the upcoming Celebrity Big Brother 2014 line up.

The 29-year-old has become a favourite on Channel 4′s hit show and now Channel 5 are reportedly keen to pinch him for CBB this summer.

According to the Daily Star newspaper today, George has been invited for talks with Big Brother bosses to agree a deal to appear on the new series.

“Ever since the new series of Gogglebox, fans have been calling on Channel 5 to grab one of them for Celebrity Big Brother,” a source claimed. “George would be the butt of all jokes, but he has the good humour to take it well.”

Channel 5 refused to comment on the rumours, although a source told the tabloid: “The line-up has not yet been finalised.”

I love him - the stubbly geezer who lives with his parents. He could probably win CBB, but could he go back to Gogglebox?
