How do so many papers earn the title 'Official Big Brother (or "Big Bruv") paper?' I swear that at least 3 papers held the title last year, which doesn't exactly make the most sense ever.
They really are taking the sex aspect of BB too far this year. Nobody wants to see sex in the house (apart from a very small number of perverts), they just want to see how the housemates get on with each other and how badly they bitch about each other. They want to see the psycological side of things and how the housemates cope, as they could in BB 1 & 2. Hence BB 1 & 2 being the best and most successful (although granted many people have simply got tired of the Reality TV Format after so many repetitions).
Am I right in thinking they even ditched the Thursday Night psycological analysis of the characters in BB4? Although that bit of the show could get a tad boring at times, it's much better than just watching the housemates cope living almost literally on top of each other in their tiny house for the whole time.
The BB Oz house looks fantastic. It's huge - as the BB house should be. As someone said earlier, it gives the housemates a chance to bitch about other contestants together. It may also give the housemates the oppertunity to figure out ways to cheat - what with Nick's cheating still remaining one of the best moments from Big Brother UK.
Oh, and what happened to the plan of bringing back a real eye for the BB5 logo? The Star claims that this year's logo is a black eye with vertical white lines running through it. There's only so much they can do with the drawn eye logo, they need to go back to how it was originally.
Is it true that the Blinking Eye from Big Brother 1 was actually Natasha/Nicole/Whateverhername's eye?
Well, something's finally happening... goto the Big Brother website now, and you'll be greeted with the new logo. Not black, like said before, but RED on a BLUE background.
And it looks bloody lovely! Roll on May 28!

Lets hope this years BB will be actually be fun to watch. Last years was so boring with that awful and mouthy b***ch Jade Goody! They ought to bring in some people from up north cus I seem to find northeners funny!
BREAKING NEWS: BB launch night schedule announced!

More details about BB5 are starting to trickle out ahead of an expected full announcement later this week.
Today the launch night schedule - for Friday, May 28 - has been confirmed. Proceedings will kick off on C4 at 8pm with an hour-long Big Brother's Little Brother countdown, fronted by Dermot O'Leary. The main focus of the episode will be the auditioning process, featuring clips of the best and the worst hopefuls from around the country.
The final episode of Friends will follow at 9pm, before the housemates enter in the live show at 10pm. The synopsis for the show explains how we can expect things to play out: "Before the new housemates move in, Davina McCall will give viewers an exclusive look around the all-new Big Brother house. Then, after undergoing rigorous security checks, the 12 new housemates will enter the Big Brother house one by one live on Channel 4. Viewers will get a chance to form their own opinions on the Big Brother 12 by catching the new housemates' initial reactions to each other and their new-look home and watch their first moments together as they settle in for their first night within those famous four walls."
Live streaming from the compound will begin on E4 at 11pm, while C4 viewers will be able to catch up with the first night events from 12.10am.

So the late start for Big Brother should mean the show is 100% live and unlike last year there will be an audience for the first night as tickets are now available.
Apparantly this year there will be six different Big Brother shows.
C4 will have the main Big Brother shows, Big Brother's Little Brother and a new Big Brother breakfast show aswell as the live Saturday night show. E4 will have the E-Forum, a thrice weekly Big Brother debate show and Nominations Uncut. Plus live streaming 24 hrs a day via E4 and nightly live action on C4.
