I certainly hope not, otherwise it'll make a complete mockery of the show.

they have in previous years apart from the two weeks before they actually go in
Probably and they'll join the ranks of team smug.
Team?
I don`t believe there is one single united team inside that house.
Group dynamics at work as usual (that`s what BB is about after all.)
Any group in BB doesn`t have solid foundations.

If thats the case it defeats the whole object of the show and all their rules.
I hope not as well.
Yes they will have been watching the show. Theres no way back up housemates would of been kept in hiding this long. So it will ruin the show and they will pick sides these new 4 housemates

True, and it's been a problem ever since Claire replaced Nick in BB1.
BB cannot prevent HMs from leaving, and they reserve the right to remove HMs, so there's always the danger that they will "run out" of HMs and/or have their eviction plans screwed-up.
On the other hand, however, it's impractical to keep several replacement HMs in isolation for the full length of the series.
We may not like it, but it's difficult to see a truly satisfactory solution...
Was any reason given why it is 4 when it should have been just 1 to replace Saffina.

It was always a certainty that there would be more HMs going in - the current format pretty-much demands it.
I've heard conflicting claims about how many remaining evictions there are, but even if Saffia had stayed, there would still be less than 4 HMs in the Final Week. BB hasn't had that few in Final Week since BB1, and the norm tends to be 6 nowadays. To manage that without putting new HMs in would mean starting with 19 or 20 HMs.
I don't know about you, but unless they reworked the format, I'd find that many HMs unbearable. 16 was bad enough...
Putting more HMs in a sinking ship is their only option. If only they would realise that BB is all about LF...

Oh godd, that many HMs at the start would be awful!

Well I mean that they will know that Halfwit is popular and will all want to be his best mate.
This is the best year ever for a new HM to win the game. Being as there is no defo Fav so far.

Well, quite, but C4's painted themselves into a corner. They want a 13 week-plus series (and I do believe it's C4's decision, not Endemol.) Also, they have decided from experience that they need at least 5 HMs in the final week. Put that together, and - well, you do the maths...
The problem is that, on the other hand, once a group of people gets beyond a certain size, it becomes unmanageable. This is true of friends, never mind complete strangers...

Just hope the new HMs are willing to spice it up a bit and bring a bit of life to the show.

Brian won it a couple of years ago and he was a latecomer into the house.

They'll just be 4 new lapdogs for Halfwit.

BB8 was a bit of a strange one though, with its all-girl start.
IMO, It didn't really feel as if Brian, Liam, Jonathan and Billi had been "parachuted-in" as latecomers - certainly not to the same extent as the Halfway HMs later on...

I would rather they had faith in the original cast rather than bringing new housemates in at this point - even if it meant having a couple of weeks without Friday evictions.
For instance, given that this is the anniversary week, with a little imagination i'm sure an alternative to an eviction - or new housemates could have been organised. The Friday Live show could have even been centred around the conclusion of the Shoppoing task with one final iconic centre piece. Followed by Davina talking to the ex housemates about the task that they had participated in throughout the week.
