We’ll update this post as we receive news and information from the compound. In the mean time, join the discussion on the forums

11:15pm

That’s the last of the updpates from us. Join us on the forums for further discussion. Don’t forget, Big Brother starts on Channel 9, Monday 29th July at 7:00pm.

One last picture to wrap up:

11:10pm

Jade and Caleb are the two people who are yet to enter the house.

11:00pm

Clarification: There are currently 12 housemates in the house right now. Opening titles during recording indicated there will be 16 housemates.

On Tuesday night there will be a further 2 housemates entering the house. These two housemates will be “married, but have never met”… possibly part of the twist?

Housemates are currently split down the middle of the house. One side of the house is the luxury house and the other side is a “halfway house”.

10:52pm

Those in the luxury house are: Ben, Sharon and Tim + 3 more?
Those in the half way house are: Mikkayla, Tully, Tahan, Xavier and Matt + one more

There’s 6 in each side of the house, separated by a fence in the back yard and lounge (the fence in the lounge is sort of like glass bars), separate diary rooms and bedrooms. The halfway house has no bathroom and they have to do luxury house’s washing. The luxury house controls what food the halfway house receive and the halfway house can’t eat until the luxury house has finished.

thanks nick027 for the update

10:47pm

Filming has definitely stopped. 12 housemates have entered the house with 2 more to follow on Tuesday. Those 2 will be those “who are married but have never met”.

During filming, each housemate had to pick a key and that determined if they were in the “luxury house” or the “half way house”. Thanks nick027 for the update.

10:30pm

We are receiving conflicting reports now that 10 housemates have entered the house plus 4 more housemates have been seperated from the main house. The seperated housemates are those that have have been shown during promotions this week, Ben, Tahan, Sharon and Matt.
Note: These are conflicting reports that we are receiving. We will endeavour to get this cleared up as soon as possible.

10:21pm

We are under the impression that recording has now stopped. Still no news on what “The Twist” is. We are extracting our insider from the auditorium to get some info as soon as possible.

10:09pm

12 housemates have entered but BBBA has received 14 names, one wonders if the remaining two housemates will be entering on Tuesday night?

10:07pm

According to OS, the twelth and final housemate for tonight has entered the house.

10:05pm

According to OS, housemate 10, female, has entered the house

9:50 pm

9:13pm

Regrettably we aren’t getting much info, even the OS live tweets have stopped. Hopefully we’ll get more info soon.

8:52pm

Has our forum members found housemate Tully (on the right)? Tully has gone on Australia’s Next Top Model and was involved in Madri Gra 2012 and she is from Sydney, NSW. Thanks daveo for the research!

8:45pm

The Twins, Alisa and Lysandra, win The Block… oops, sorry, wrong show.

It has been advised security is really tight and keeping a close eye on people using their phones or any object in their lap ;)

8:33pm

MORE BBBA EXCLUSIVE:

Frizzy hair belongs to Jasmin from VIC, glasses belong to Sharon from SA/Vic. The shaved hair on the right most likely belongs to Ben from QLD.

8:21pm

Latest information received is that the female housemate that has entered is named Tully and she’s from NSW.

8:13pm

First male housemate enters the house. No name yet.

8:10pm

BBBA EXCLUSIVE:

Left eye belongs to Mikkayla from NSW. Nose ring belongs to either Tully or Drew.

8:00pm

7:40pm

and we are back! Wouldn’t be launch night without a server crash

7:30pm

The first female housemate enters the house, quoting “Oh my gosh”, classic BB opening line. Pic thanks to BBOS.

7:15pm

Filming starts! Sonia comes out doing “The Twist”! Who would’ve guessed?! lol

7:00pm

Filming is scheduled to start now however we have not received any confirmation from the crowd.

6:45pm

Auditorium gates have now closed. Anybody who hasn’t shown up has now forfeited their seats.

Crowd promos continue.

6:24pm

Photo of the plank has been leaked

6:15pm

Mikey G is trying to get the crowd into the mood to do the twist. Big Brother is planning on filming a crowd promo soon.

6:00pm

Users seated in the auditorium have described the stage lighting to be “purple” with a huge Big Brother eye displayed at the back of the stage.  (No surprise)

5:43pm

It appears Alex Mavroidakis has incontinence problems as he tweets that the first housemate has now arrived at Dreamworld

5:40pm

We’ve been told that only Gold seats have been allowed into the auditorium. People seated in Silver are still lined up. Phones are to be shown to be turned off upon entering the auditorium.

5:20pm

We’ve been told that every single bag is being thoroughly searched. Anybody caught using a mobile phone during launch will be escorted out by security. There will be no warnings.

4:50pm

It appears Big Brother is feeling generous. Gates have already opened due to inclement weather and people are being seated.

4:45pm

There’s life at Dreamworld Studios!

4:40pm

Still no sign of people lining up. Is the taping actually on tonight?

4:00pm

People start lining up, woo!

(We haven’t seen any tweets yet to confirm people are lining up, so we are just going to assume :p)
