BIG Brother fans will get the chance to pick a wild card housemate this year.
TV bosses have decided to give viewers a say in who to throw into the house and cause mayhem.
A source said: “For years, fans have said that they want to choose housemates for the show and now they’ve got their chance.
“The lucky few will be brought out and do a Vote For Me piece to camera to explain why they should be chosen. Then it’s down to the public.

So: like BB2, then?
Another Sam Peper.
Sounds like a recipe for disaster for gamblers.
WE don't choose
THEY choose and we get to pick one
“For years, fans have said that they want to choose housemates for the show and now they’ve got their chance"
......... have we? 
But I can't claim to be a fan anymore, so what do i know?
I like this idea 
hope the phone lines stay clear

Big Brother 2 aired from 25 May 2001 to 27 July 2001, lasting 64 days. With a much larger budget for the second series, after the huge success of the first, the house in Bow, East London was renovated and in May 2001, the new batch of housemates moved in.
In a twist to the show, an 11th housemate entered the house two weeks later (Day 16) - as the result of a public vote, in which Josh Rafter was chosen out of 3 wildcard housemates as the 11th contestant. During the first week, at the end of each episode, clips were shown of all three possible housemates:
* Josh, who claimed "to have made a million and then lost it";
* Anne, an older woman who promised sense and maturity in the house,
* Natasha, a fiery young girl who promised "naughtiness" and other late-night antics
The trio were not allowed to watch the show or find out what was happening in the house until the winner of the vote entered so they were taken to Portugal up to that point.
Yeah i know, but i was referring to the statement that Fans have wanted to vote housemates in. Have we WANTED to vote housemates in? I couldn't give a crap to be honest

I think we will see the HMS in the house then vote, we will know what the others think of them before we vote .BB2 Josh and another two made their plea from Portugal and promised all sorts and delivered nothing.Josh spent most of the time reading a book and annoying Brian ( which I enjoyed)

BB2 was my fav but BB3 was a close second
As long as they keep it interesting and not mind numbingly dull like the last BB. Hopefully C5 have learnt a few lessons that reality TV does need its characters and talking points, even if those 'characters' are contemptible.
