Dermot O'Leary, host of BBLB, dropped a clanger tonight whilst discussing the female housemates with his guests.
Quick off the mark, Mr Frith, from Heat magazine, picked up that Dermot had wondered if a housemate would last "thirteen weeks". When confronted Dermot embarrassedly replied "something like that".
It has been noticable that neither Davina or Dermot mentioned the length of the series in tonight's shows, and rumours in the papers have ranged from 11 weeks to 100 days. But 13 weeks would surely fit in with the theme of "Unlucky 13".
I dislike the way they've done the interactive on freeview. when you change the volume the mheg vanishes and takes the video with it dumping you on E4 until the volume bar goes
No official confirmation of the length of the series on the launch show. All the official info ahead of launch suggested 11 weeks, Dermot said 13 and today Maxwell said he'd like to last the full 12 weeks.
Teletext say it's 11 weeks long, with 3 reaching the final day.
As for first impressions - Maxwell was easily the early favourite. More difficult to predict the first evictee - I couldn't stand Craig but thought "Scary Mary" would be first booted out. However, I have a feeling she might surprise us!
As the the 13th housemate - a great twist, having to get yourself nominated to avoid eviction, and brilliant of BB to make the HMs think Makosi has just won them a party - but I wouldn't go as far as saying she's the "unluckiest housemate ever".
Also, from a presentation point of view I thought the titles were brilliant. Far better to last years, which were quite boring really, and very reminisent of the original titles.
The graphics for the contestant profiles were also very good, with the eye logo being used excellently!
So, that's her "website" then. An adult profile on Faceparty.com. And strangely, as I type this, it says "user-online".
Which is strange. How can she be "on-line" when BB Housemates aren't allowed anywhere near a computer, let
alone one that's connected to the internet. Perhaps she's allowed a friend to use her Faceparty password
Why does the "dog" on E4 and E4+1 both say LIVE when this morning the transmission on E4+1 was clearly running about and hour later than the output on E4 ?
