TELEVISION'S original reality TV show is just one sleep away from its return to television screens, but so far Big Brother has kept mum on who the South Australian housemates will be.
The final cast line-up will be revealed live on the show tomorrow night, and it is believed an excess of housemates were taken into "lock-down" last week.
That was designed to prevent leaks about housemate details but two locals are hotly tipped to make an entrance during tomorrow's season premiere.
One is rumoured to be Lucas Pittaway, the actor plucked from obscurity while shopping at Elizabeth who went on to draw rave reviews for his portrayal of Jamie Vlassakis in the film Snowtown.
Channel 9 sources say Lucas and his brother Paul Bale made a splash at the auditions earlier this year and were the topic of much discussion with producers during casting.
When attempts were made to contact Lucas this week, the Sunday Mail was told he was "unavailable for an interview" by his management, leading to further speculation that he is one of the secret 14 housemates.
The other rumoured South Australian is Josh Moore, who works at radio station Nova 919 as a Casanova. Like Lucas, Josh was unable to be contacted this week. Some co-workers at the station were told he was holidaying in Bali.
Channel 9 will be counting on the diverse mix of housemates to ensure compelling viewing and Big Brother himself has promised that they will be worth tuning in for.
"This year's housemates are a mixture of funny, intelligent and interesting people," Big Brother said.
"They've been chosen to entertain the audience and inspire opinion . Big Brother is a social experiment but with a competitive edge. I'll be ensuring the competition is rewarding."
