What…? No…! Really…?

This doesn't sound like Big Brother!

Nobody likes being the first evictee, having to leave after just a couple of weeks - or even less in some cases, and being completely forgotten by week 4.

But what if the first evictee didn’t leave until week 4 - well, that’s what Three have suggested in a competition package on their Big Brother site. The prize includes tickets to the “First Sunday Live Eviction“, which on closer inspection of the Terms and Conditions is revealed to be Sunday 25th May - four weeks after the launch.

Other countries have in the past waited over a month for their first real eviction. In Croatia, evictee HMs moved to a secret house, with two being voted back into the main house on Day 50, while in Belgium viewers “evicted” the most popular HMs into a secret second house until just one remained in the main house - to discover rather than being the winner, they were instead the first evictee.

So is it a misprint - or an accidental leak? Either way, Three have now removed the original link after it was spotted by eagle-eyed BBBA forumers.

AND ANOTHER THING…

BBBA’s ever reliable team of insiders have let something else slip - there are no plans for any “Intruders” this year - they’re hoping with the original line up they won’t be required. If this turned out to be true, it would be the first series without any “intruders”.

And when you put together rumours of 18 housemates, shortened series, no evictions for a month, no midweek specials, possible (or not) second houses, it’s very feasible no mid-season intruders will be required.
