Preview: Big Brother 7

Big Brother is back - and it's going to be bigger and bitchier than ever.

There are even rumours that a celeb will be thrown in amongst the housemates.

As well as 18 contestants - more than any other series - the rules will allow the inmates to discuss nominations and the weekly task will decide who is Head of House.

A source told The Sun: "The bigwigs know viewers like a bad guy on the show. This year every contestant will have to be a bad guy to survive.

"Letting the contestants discuss nominations is a sure-fire way to get the blood boiling... The plan is for a ruthless bitchfest that will keep Big Brother on top."

According to Heat magazine, there has been talk that former housemates Makosi Musambasi and Anthony Hutton could enter the fray - or Celebrity Big Bro's non-celeb winner Chantelle Houghton.

An insider at Endemol, the company that makes the show, said: "The powers that be are still locked in discussions over who it might be. But don't rule out a household name going in."

The housemates this will be be given a series of experiments to carry out each week - similar to those in Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.

A Channel 4 source said: "Those taking part this year will be just like lab rats. Everything will be recorded and nothing will be missed."

Dermot O'Leary will host a daily live show called Big Brother's Big Brain replacing Big Brother's Little Brother.

It will highlight all the contestants' quirks, habits and behaviour - with cameras constantly trained on them all the time so nothing is missed.

It's hoped that the new tactics will ensure BB7 wins out against reality shows like Celebrity X Factor and Celebrity Love Island in the ratings stakes.

Another twist to the new series will mean that wannabes will get the chance to win a place on the show just by buying a chocolate bar.

In a bold move producers last night revealed a deal with KitKat that will see one hundred "golden tickets" hidden inside chocolate bar wrappers.

TV producers will then pick a winner at random to join the housemates two weeks into the show. A source said: "It's the first time ever a random member of the public will be able to get in without going through the proper selection procedure.

"We're excited because it's such a big risk. We think it'll be huge."

Big Brother 7 starts on May 18th and will be hosted by Davina McCall.

if that makes sense to you, I suggest a week of "Last Of The Summer Wine" - just to take the edge off!

[HandoGod]

Cheers for the info on BB 7, can't wait for it to start.

Did anyone apply to become a contestant or for that "one lucky person picked at random" contest (was in the papers a week ago, I think)?

[heatmiser1014]

Me and the wife absolutely loved BB last year, and got stuck in on Celeb Big Bro recently (we just thought Burns was the best!!). BBUK blows the US version totally away!! Ain't no comparison.

I just saw this in the paper and was shocked at first, then I thought "I can see him on the show no bother!"

I've known this guy for 15+ years or something. Once, when he was being taken for a walk by two dalmatians that he'd borrowed as fashion accessories, I slagged him off and you've never seen such a BITCHIN' response! haha

Go for it Shahbaz.

I do have other stories about him that I'll happily report as the show gets going - and if he's actually in it!

[faceless]

ONE of Big Brother's new housemates is a hard-core porn star with surgically enhanced 30M boobs. Blonde Lea Walker, 35, a divorced mum of one, sold her house so she could spend more than ?20,000 on breast enlargements, liposuction, bottom cheek implants, tattooed lip liner and eyebrows and collagen-filled lips.

And she showed it all off in an X-rated skin flick with porn actor Tony James, 30?who claims she'll be gagging to put on a repeat performance when BB7 starts on Thursday. And Tony told us: "I'm sure Lea will have sex in the house. She can't get enough of it and those boobs will be straight out because she's a real exhibitionist." When it comes to sex she's very experienced and knows how to please her man. We did it in every position for the film."

Lea had her breasts enlarged from a petite AAA cup size. Tony said: "With all her ops she looks like a pumped-up Pamela Anderson and it is the boobs which really stand out."

Her bust is so big it caused a diversion on the M1 when Tony gave her a lift back to her Nottingham home after filming their mucky movie. He said: "She kept opening her top and flashing her boobs to truckers driving past. I'm surprised she didn't cause a pile-up."

Lea revealed her passion for porn in a documentary on the Men And Motors TV channel. She told viewers: "I've always enjoyed sex and a friend said to me it was silly not doing porn and making money out of it when I loved sex as much as I do. I've worked in the adult industry for five years, working in a licensed shop where porn videos were on for 10 hours a day. All the time I was watching them and thinking I could do better so I sold my house and used the money for the operations. I've had boob jobs, tummy tucks, liposuction, Botox and I've got false nails, hair extensions and fake tan."

NATURAL: Lea before having boobs blown (below) from AAA to a massive M


Lea shot her first porn movie in Bristol last year. Tony revealed: "She seemed a natural. Looks-wise she's perfect for movies, with her big boobs, big lips and blonde hair. She seemed a bit nervous and had a few drinks, but once we started she was fine. She had a lot of scars from the surgery but her body looked good. I think she was good enough to make a decent career out of it."

One-time factory machinist Lea has had an on-off relationship with body artist Gregg Russell since splitting from her husband six years ago.

# BB bosses have lined up a full team of 12 reserve contestants in case any of the housemates crack up and walk out. Another contestant will win a place in the house by finding a golden ticket in a KitKat chocolate bar.

Imogen's bi boast

BIG Brother beauty Imogen Thomas is set to make this year's show the sexiest yet. The former Miss Wales gave BB bosses a taste of what to expect during a three-day selection trial. In a ?guinea pig' house the 23-year-old BOASTED about having sex with a star, FLAUNTED her fake boobs and perfect size ten figure and FLIRTED with all the other girls and boys.

The media student from Llanelli even admitted that she'd much rather sleep with another WOMAN than an ugly man. Our BB spy revealed: "Imogen's a real goer. She made a big thing out of being single and looking for a man...or woman. She's prepared to do anything to be a star."

Sezer's a smoothie

CITY slicker Sezer is set to seduce all the ladies in the house. The smooth stockbroker will have them eating out of his hand, according to student Emma Durnell who fell for the Cypriot's charms at a trendy London bar. She said: "He's absolutely gorgeous and the perfect gentleman."

The pair snogged on their first meeting but after another three dates things fizzled out. Emma revealed: "I definitely wanted to take things further with Sezer, but he's not the kind of guy who would have a quick one. He takes these things seriously. I'm just so jealous that he's going to be living with all those gorgeous girls in the house. They won't be able to resist him."

Tranny bedded 7 blokes - in a day

GLASWEGIAN Indian transvestite Shahbaz Chauhdry says he used to sleep with up to seven men in one day. Shahbaz, who reckons he looks fab in a blonde wig, says: "It was so easy to pick up. The men would just be driving past in their cars." He's already tasted TV fame, of sorts, when he confessed to catching a sex disease?three times.

It's Bonnie rabbiting

FUN-LOVING Bonnie Holt caught Big Bruv's attention because she was such a chatterbox. Friends describe the 20-year-old from Loughborough as the life and soul of the party. A source said: "She's great fun. She loves being the centre of attention and will be a hit."

But Bonnie's not alone as blonde Grace Short, 20, from west London, is a bit of a party girl too. Pals say she goes clubbing "at least three times a week" and loves celeb haunt Chinawhite in Soho.

Nik set to get naked

MODEL Nikki Graham will light up BB by getting naked all over the house. Pals say the 24-year-old from Watford is a good-time girl who just loves to strip, especially after a drink. Fellow housemate Michael Dalton, 23, likes to party too. The Scouse graduate also "loves the gym" and says he's a part-time model.

Hecklerspray Predictions

People are so elitist these days. It's always "ooh, I only watch films with subtitles" or "ooh, I don't abbreviate my text messages" or "ooh, I don't have a shrine to Fearne Cotton which I sit underneath masturbating in my own filth." The same sort of people who claim that they won't be watching Big Brother 7. Liars.

Starting it's million-week run this Thursday, hecklerspray guarantees that you'll be hooked on Big Brother 7 from the opening minute, the freak-infested Big Brother house holding you in a tangled web of guilty grim fascination.

So - before it all kicks off - we thought we'd take a look at the upcoming series and make a few 'in-the-know' predictions about what Big Brother 7 might hold in store:

- Coming from Essex now mandatory for all contestants

- Late night Big Brother chatter to revolve around the poetry of Rimbaud, extremist existential philosophy, and which of the girls has the biggest breasty-weasts beneath her tight pink top

- Electrical supply to house powered entirely by Dermot O' Leary's sense of self-satisfaction

- Amusing Big Brother 'holocaust' week will engage contestants in all sorts of concentration-camp-themed roleplay

- Assortment of knives readily available for some reason

- Audience at Big Brother eviction nights now legally required to be better-looking

- Button to be pressed every 108 minutes, otherwise something really, really bad happens (that had better be explained soon before everybody gives up and stops watching)

- Extensive in-house book library will not be used much

- Big Brother Contestants to be constantly reminded of chilling pointlessness of existence via endless replaying of Joy Division's Atmosphere

- Big Brother Contestants will be stupid

May 18th, people.

Clear your schedules.

Don't forget that hecklerspray will be with you every day bringing you the very latest in Big Brother betting. Every day. Every pissing day. Until the end of arseing time.

Are you sitting uncomfortably?

If this year's Big Brother house doesn't drive its inhabitants up the wall, the designers will have failed. Even the urinals aren't safe from prying eyes. But what would the king of home makeovers think of it? Tim Dowling joins Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen on a tour

Tuesday May 16, 2006
The Guardian

Driving toward Elstree Studios in Borehamwood, one gets a sense of how many thousands of acres of drowsy, pollen-dusted suburb surround the Big Brother house. This is deep suburbia, suburbia wrapped in more suburbia. And in the middle of it all, on Elstree's back lot, sits this celebrated, grotesque subversion of suburban living: a little prison with soft furnishings, cloaked in MDF and razor wire. Advance visitors to the latest Big Brother house, which officially opens for business on Thursday night, are made to wear little disposable overshoes, as if it were a crime scene.

Designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, impeccably pinstriped and elegant in spite of the plastic bags on his feet, has come along to give the new house the once-over. He is wondering, specifically, if what he calls the "boudoirisation of the nation" has taken hold here, whether Big Brother's sterile minimalism has given way to flock wallpaper, and whether keeping up with present trends in interior design is compatible with the house designer's brief, which is to create an environment so exposed and uncomfortable that the contestants start going mad right from the outset. He doesn't quite know what to expect, but he is confidently predicting a chandelier or two.

Unless he has been tipped off, he's guessed right. There's a chandelier in the garden, gloss black and hanging from an overhead cable. It's part of this year's "Inside Out" theme: dining table outside, topiary sheep inside; grass-printed lino on the kitchen floor, floorboards extending out into the lawn. The kitschy take on traditional furnishings is almost more than Llewelyn-Bowen could have hoped for. "Oh, bollocks," he says, looking about him. "I can't think of anything awful to say. You've won me over."

He walks into the living room, where the house members will be incarcerated while they wait for Friday-night evictions. The sofas are actually outdoor furniture, made by a Danish company called Feek. "Again, this sort of sudden explosion of suburbia," he says. "The flock-patterned cushions and the fitted carpets. A long way away from the original, very surgical environment. In a way that makes this more worrying, more of a rather hideous aesthetic experiment."

The open-plan layout and referential fittings, however, cannot disguise the basic principle: the set-up is expressly designed to provoke social conflict. It's not a nice place to be, even for a little while. This is, according to a press release, the most confined Big Brother house to date. The bedroom is stifling hot and separated from the living area by a wall of glass. The beds - eight single, three double - are tiny, and the underbed drawers are the only storage space. The bathroom contains two urinals mounted so close together that they could only be used simultaneously by people who were born without a sense of personal space. They've got a bathtub this year, but the hot water is controlled by Big Brother.

"We're trying to make as much space with as much glass as possible," says the house's designer Patrick Watson, "so you get that claustrophobia where there is really nowhere to get away."

"So you're creating glass-fronted, boudoir-inspired, flock-printed panic rooms," says Llewelyn-Bowen. "You're an evil genius."

The design team is, however, limited by certain televisual priorities. "It's a set as well," says Watson, "and it's got to work as a set. It's got to work for the cameras. Every shot is a backdrop, basically." Add to this the fact that most of the wall space is taken up by a continuous strip of two-way mirror, and you can't exactly design a dream home.

Nevertheless, Llewelyn-Bowen is impressed with the new look. "To be honest, my company will do a complete scan for about the first week, and see what's being used. We do see it as a barometer. It's interesting from our point of view commercially. Basically, we'll be ripping you off left, right and centre."

The Big Brother garden has been expanded this year to take up about half the layout, and designed so as to encourage more use. There is a cheap, chesterfield-style suite that has been coated, almost entombed, in spray-on red and white plastic, giving it cartoonish proportions (and making it waterproof). There is carpet on the ground. "It actually seems quite posh," says Llewelyn-Bowen. "It's almost as if you're playing around with posh." The outdoor dining table has traditional proportions but appears to be cut from thick sheet metal. "The table and those stools," says Llewelyn-Bowen, "that's exquisite. Absolutely beautiful, really refined, terribly elegant. So what the hell is it doing here?"

And, of course, the cameras are everywhere. Their presence is disquieting even when they're not turned on. The sense of being watched is overwhelming, even if it's just by unseen workers laying electrical cable behind the walls. For this reason, Watson was careful to include a few nooks here and there, including an alcove reached by a little bridge, to create a sense of "perceived isolation", so that housemates will forget their every move is being filmed, and will not be inhibited from acting stupidly.

Llewelyn-Bowen thinks that in terms of affecting public taste, this will be the most influential Big Brother house yet. "Everything this time around seems to be making a much bigger noise," he says. "It's a lot less well behaved."

There remains some question as to how reliably Big Brother style influences taste. Some designers are desperate to have their stuff in the house. Others refuse to allow it to be used. Still others, hedging their bets, donate things and then ask not to be credited. Last year the Big Brother sofas became a huge seller, but they couldn't give away the bed linen. This year, who knows?

"It's a look I think people will be enormously interested in," says Llewelyn-Bowen. "I love the spunkiness of the fitted carpets." Well, you know what he means. "The chandeliers, and the wallpapers, all these haut-suburban decorative elements. It shows you can have fun with it."

But isn't it all a little perversely suburban?

"Oh, very perversely suburban. That's the complete joy of it. It's as if Cynthia Payne came round and decorated." It is not, one might suggest, a million miles away from the sort of MDF-heavy decor-as-set-dressing that made Llewellyn-Bowen a household name on Changing Rooms. "It's about wit and irony," he says. "And all those bloody Ikea show homes and little tiny New York lofts never had any wit."

The real question is whether the designers have managed to fulfil their main brief. Will the 2006 Big Brother house drive its inhabitants round the twist?

"Completely," says Llewelyn-Bowen. "We've been here less than an hour and I would quite happily eat you now." He looks along the garden wall, dotted with outside flock-patterned rectangles and topped with white camouflage netting. "This, filled with 12 vacuous wannabes, I think is absolutely the seventh circle of Hell".

Big Brother 'golden ticket' auction axed

Ben Dowell
Friday May 19, 2006

The internet auction site eBay has withdrawn the sale of the Big Brother "golden ticket", insisting the seller has breached the terms of its user agreement. The alleged finder of a golden ticket inside a Kit Kat chocolate bar claimed to have "no interest" in appearing on the show and put his ticket up for sale on eBay, attracting a number of offers, some of which exceeded ?5m.

The website said the seller's own terms of trade - and not what a spokeswoman called the "spoof bidding" - meant that it had to withdraw the offer. eBay said in a statement: "We'd urge anyone bidding on items on eBay to read our tips on safe trading at ebay.co.uk/safetycentre - these include contacting the seller before paying, asking to see a photo of the item and arranging a safe transfer of money."

A spokeswoman said it may be able to give the seller the chance to sell the ticket on a pre-approved auction, which makes bidders legally bound to pay their offers. The company added that anyone else finding a golden ticket could apply to sell their ticket in this way.

Under Big Brother's rules, anyone finding a golden ticket may not sell it once they have registered. However, people are allowed to sell them beforehand and so far the organisers of the competition have confirmed that nobody has formally registered a golden ticket via the telephone hotline.

The Kit Kat bars containing 100 golden tickets went on sale in stores at 10.30pm last night. One person, having passed security checks, will be selected at random from those who find the tickets in a special live TV broadcast after the competition closes on Friday June 2.

In the past two weeks, tabloid newspapers including the Sun and the Daily Star have offered to buy a golden ticket from any readers who find them.

Earlier this year, open auditions for Big Brother attracted a record 25,000 contestants but producers of the Channel 4 show believe the golden ticket initiative will attract the interest of an even greater number of people.

I'd heard there was a winner, so this explains why the auction was pulled. Too bad the person couldn't of sold it. Stupid rules, lol. Might of made more money than the odd chance of winning BB and maybe that's more important to them than appearing on the show.
