Big Brother 2008!!!

The live launch is tonight! Who's watching? 

Me! But I'm not as excited as I have been in previous years.

Me too!! Just set my Sky+ so I don't have to torture DF with it every night.

I can't wait to see the tour of the house. The pictures of one of the bedrooms looked awesome!

Here are some piccys of the house in this thread

Apparently there is a secret Luxury Bedroom or "sex room" as the papers called it.

I can't wait! The BT Vision box has been programmed and ready to go!

like a cross betwen Little Britain and the mutant bar on Mars in Total Recall - what a freakshow !!!!

I thought it was pretty amusing. I appreciated that they put them in quite quickly 'cause sometimes the first show can feel a bit long winded.

There's potential for serious annoyance though - the screaming girl in particular.  Oh and the "IT girl" - do we REALLY need another Charlie??

I like the dancer - he seems lively and entertaining. The blind guy is an interesting addition.

And the challenge was genius!

but did you hear one of those nimrod airhead girls let out a very theatrical, overly-sympathetic "awwwww!" when he walked in?

Oh dear god. So he's like the pet of the house. 

Hmm...first impressions are that there's really only the one 'freak' (and he had to be from Edinburgh, oh how proud am I!)

Not so sure about the blind guy, I think he'll become a favourite in the house simply because he's blind and not because of his personality which is wrong.

The boyfriend and girlfriend twist is okay.

I thought it was a bit of a boring start to be honest, which means I'll just have to keep watching it until it hots up a bit!

See, I didn't actually think he was a freak at all. But maybe that's 'cause I'm from San Francisco.

     We're far to reserved for that kind of behaviour in Edinburgh! 

I found the Albino guy Darnell peculiar...I was trying to work out if he was a little slow...not sure yet, but I think he could be like Brian from last years show.

I was reading up on some juicy gossip about the housemates this morning.  Mario was in jail for domestic violence and has appeared on tons of TV shows with his girlfriend.  I found it odd that he felt it necessary to state his new girlfriend came after his wife...Hmmnn....damage control me thinks there.

Darnell was deported back to the UK for being involved in gang crime. 

I found it odd that the blind guy could describe his "lady clothes" so precisely..even down to describing navy blue stockings??  As soon as I saw him leave the car, I knew the dance instructor guy would smother him.

I am not keen on any of the girls in there at the moment...they are all a bit of a head cluster!

I am sure as the show goes on our opinions may change...it usually does when their personalities whittle through the crowds 

Where did you find this juicy gossip? I want to read some
