18 housemates to enter

18 will enter before the second week even begins

BBBA’s ever watchful insiders have confirmed that 14 housemates will enter the house on opening night, with an additional four entering in the first week.

Last year, 12 housemates entered on opening night and by the end of the season the producers had gone through a grand total of 24 housemates. In 2006, 15 entered on opening night and a much tamer additional 8 entered during the season run.

Oh, and for the record, there’s no second house this year.
