Series 2 Penny? (Guessing here.)

Series 3 Alex. I'm guessing here again.

Series 4 it was Anoushka. As Davina said flirting in an empty house.

Series 5 oh my god oh my god its marco hello its marco oh my god.

Series 6 it was Derek. I think they got it just right with Lesley coming in next. Classic quote from Derek:

"You've obviously looked for a lot of attention in that, did you get it."

Lesley: "Oh yeah." (Refering to her coming in, in a nurses outfit.)

Spot on bar series 2 when the first was Bubble.

Next question

11 housemates have not been evicted by public votes (N.B. not including Gaetano) who are they?

[covunistudent]

Sandy, from series 3, Nick from series 1, Kitten from series 5, Vanessa from series 6 (voted out by the housemates in the end.)

Thats all I can get.

Whoops...I forgot about Vanessa Layton-Thingy

Make that 12 then


CLUE: 6 are obvious when you think about it

[covunistudent]

The winners from each series of course. Thats up to 10. I suppose I could look through your house mate guide, but theres no fun then trying to remember what has happened.

Argh of course Emma from series 5, got chucked out for her part in the fight.

This bizarre news was on my AOL home page, looks like i'll be buying lots of Kit-Kats ;D

"Big Brother fans are to be given a Willy Wonka-style chance to win a place in the house.

Taking a leaf from Roald Dahl's classic book, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, 100 golden tickets will be hidden in special KitKat bars.

Big Brother host Davina McCall will reveal full details of the contest in the Big Brother 7 launch show on May 18.

The chocolate bars will be distributed to 40,000 stores nationwide and go on sale from 10.30pm on May 18. The competition closes on 2 June

A Channel 4 spokesman said: "This is a first for Big Brother. Nothing on this scale has ever been tried before in a reality show.

"We are always looking at new ways of trying to find brilliant housemates and the golden ticket feels like a genuinely exciting way to do so.''

Big Brother's makers have interviewed a record 25,000 wannabe contestants this year - 5,000 more than in 2005.

Producers put the rise down to fans being keen to follow in the footsteps of Celebrity BB winner Chantelle Houghton, 22. She went in as a nobody and has since made her fortune.

BB7 will run for a record 13 weeks and feature up to 18 housemates - the most ever. The house has had a complete makeover to accommodate the larger number, with a new pool being added."

[covunistudent]

If thats true, and I "won" a place in the Big Brother house, I would refuse it. (I enjoy watching the show, but would not want to actually be in it.)

I have full respect to any one who does.

I don't know if I would sell my place, or what, but I would never go in that house.

[Rich]

I wouldn't mind going on the show if I won the right to although there would be no way I would go in there if England were still in the World Cup.

[Jo]

I would do it - id love it, ive always wanted to become famous ;D

Big Brother 7: One Week to Go...



Countdown to BB7: The brand spanking new Big Brother logo for 2006


Can it really be that time of year again? Yes, you'd better believe it – there's now only one week to go until Big Brother 7 kicks off!

Last year's show had us gripped – from the Craig and Anthony saga to Makosi's pregnancy claims and Kinga's drunken antics in the garden.

So how on earth can Channel 4 top that? We take a look at some of the rumours surrounding this year's show and try to separate fact from fiction...

Rumour 1: A celebrity will be among the housemates
Status: Unconfirmed

Following non-celeb Chantelle's success in Celebrity Big Brother, there is much speculation that a celebrity will be in this year's regular line-up. Show bosses are reportedly in the final stages of signing up a star who they believe will spice things up. But will they be able to go all the way and win the series? And which celebrity would be brave enough – or should that be mad enough – to enter the house? Someone call Jackie Stallone!

Rumour 2: There'll be a golden opportunity to become a housemate
Status: Confirmed



Housemate lottery: One hundred golden tickets have been hidden in chocolate bars


In a Willy Wonka-style twist, 100 tickets have been placed in KitKat chocolate bars, and those who find them will be entered into a lottery to become a Big Brother 7 housemate. This will culminate in a TV special where one of the ticket-holders enters the house live during a special Channel 4 programme. There are already fears that the tickets could be sold on eBay for up to £10,000, and newspapers are also offering to buy tickets from people who find them.

Rumour 3: This year's show will be longest ever
Status: Confirmed

For the first time in the show's history, Big Brother will run for an incredible 13 weeks. Channel 4 bosses have also brought forward the launch date by more than a week in a bid to beat off stiff competition from rival shows such as ITV1's Love Island and a celebrity version of The X Factor. Oh, what the heck – why don't you just go ahead and make it all year round. We can't get enough of it!

Rumour 4: The housemates' details have been leaked
Status: Unconfirmed

A Sunday newspaper has claimed to have the identities of this year's housemates, which are normally kept top secret until launch night. The News Of The World reported that 12 contestants will enter this year's house, among them a hyperactive oddball, a topless model, a dumpy teenager, a cheeky Scouse ladies' man and a shaven-headed gay muscleman. Sounds like a pretty typical BB line-up to us. Roll on the tears and tantrums...

Rumour 5: Davina is ready for an on-set birth
Status: Confirmed



Oh baby: BBLB presenter Dermot O'Leary is on standby in case Davina goes into labour


The Big Brother presenter is taking no chances over the birth of her third child. Davina, who is due to give birth in September, has said that she will have her birth kit with her just in case the baby is early and has to be delivered in her dressing room! Channel 4 has lined up BBLB presenter Dermot O'Leary as Davina's stand-in for such an event.

-- Have your say on Big Brother


Rumour 6: The Big Brother house will have a new look
Status: Confirmed

This year's house has been designed with the aim of getting the housemates out in the open air as much as possible. There's a new pool, which is big enough for all of the housemates to splash about in together. There's also extra seating outside and – best of all – an outdoor bar and barbecue area. Get out those bikinis and swimming trunks – oh, and a teeny bit of sunshine would help too!

[Claret & Blue Army]

Excellent stuff. The Big Brother rumour mill is even hotter and creative than the hockey one
Generally speaking though at this stage the rule is often if it is unconfirmed it ain't gonna be a definite.

Whilst housemates may fit into specific pigeon holes- gay, cross dresser, rascist etc they are not picked specifically. Nowadays they have to win over the selection comittee in a queue even before they get to do a boxed bio. Many stand waiting and are told to go home before they even get through the door.

[covunistudent]

Steve can you just clear up the answers then on the 12 housemates that have not being evicted (sorry, but it will bug me if I don't know the answer.) I've named 11 of them, but you can just tell us the other one.

I'm looking forward to the series.

[Claret & Blue Army]

Right the 6 winners
Craig
Brian
Kate
Cameron
Nadia
Anthony

Sunita, Orlaith & Sandy, all walked out (Or ran and jumped in the case of the latter ;D)
Kitten, Nick and Emma were booted out by Big Brother

[lisa]

[Jo]

Thats news to me but would welcome their names if anyone has them...
5 days to go.............

[lisa]

ok, thought i'd google the housemates....
this is something that i found.....'News of the World' what do you think?

TALK about a body to Dai for! Meet Welsh beauty Imogen Thomas—a housemate in the new Big Brother.

She is one of the 12 contestants revealed for the first time today by the News of the World.

We can also reveal Imogen, 23, is a sexy nightclub hostess. The beautiful brunette provides glamorous company for VIPs at a top London bar.

And from May 18 she'll be providing glamour on Big Brother 7, which at 13 weeks will be the longest series yet of the C4 reality show.

As ever, the six men and six women are the weirdest mix the show's bosses could bring together, including two topless models and two gay men.

For Imogen, BB7 is just the latest in a string of bids to kick-start a career as a TV presenter.

Stardom



As well as being crowned Miss Wales in 2003, she was one of FHM magazine's 100 High Street Honeys, starred in a TV ad for cut-price sup-ermarket Lidl and has been offered work as a Posh Spice lookalike.

Her mum and stepdad, Janet and Stuart Radford, of Llanelli, are said to be delighted that their daughter has made it onto the show.

A close pal said: "Imogen knows Big Brother could be the break to get the stardom she craves."

Our source on the show said: "Imogen has a body to die for and should be an amazing housemate."

Here's a quick rundown of Imogen's fellow contestants...

NICKY: One of two glamour models in the house, twenty-something Nicky, from Watford, claims to have dated several Premiership footballers.

LEE: The other glamour girl, from Nottingham, has huge fake boobs, is in her 30s and still models topless.

LISA: Described as petite, hyperactive and an oddball.

SEZER: A slick, Mediterranean City stockbroker.

GEORGE: Photography student who is set to be the calming influence in the Big Brother House.

MIKIE: The cheeky Scouser is a tall model in his early twenties and will fancy his chances with the ladies.

RICHARD: Shaven-headed gay muscleman Richard was born in Canada.

SHAHBAZ: The camp Indian Glaswegian is described by the show's bosses as a crazy chatterbox who reminds them of X Factor's Chico.

PETE: Show insiders are already tipping Pete, the singer in a band, as the early favourite to win.

BONNIE: A dumpy teenager from Loughborough with a no nonsense app-roach.

GRACE: Brainbox from a rich family, Grace dances in West End shows. And according to one insider: "She has an amazing body and is very good looking."

All 12 of the Big Brother housemates are being kept in secret locations until they're unveiled by Davina McCall on the live launch.
