Launch Twist: 1 housemate to be voted in by public

5 Jun, 2017 - 10:14 AM by James

Channel 5 have revealed the twist for tonight launch show. In addition we are announcing our exciting launch show twist, for the first time ever Big Brother is handing over power to the public. There will be one final housemate position up for grabs which will be decided by the public in tonight’s live launch, from a selection of candidates. The lucky housemate voted in by the public, will become the People’s Housemate and will hold great power within the house, even having access to the outside world. Channel 5 previously revealed the identities of six of the housemates, but it is not clear if those are the selection of candidateds for the twist. Tonight’s live launch is at 8.30pm on Channel 5.

So this is basically the BB2/BB13 wildcard twist then I'm glad the audience doesn't get a say on all the housemates though

I dont get the access to the outside world. Im interested in to what is the purpose of that. Maybe someone refused to go in unless they could catch up with Love Island nightly?

If access to the outside world means they have to do things the audience wants them to then I'll be okay with it As long as public opinion doesn't leak into the house

This must be connected to the revealed housemates then? Would explain why those revealed housemates were so diverse and different.

The 'people's housemate' will be chosen by us, have great power and access to the outside world.. I'm hoping that this is actually going to be like BB14's people's puppet..

Did you guys really thought we would be voting more than one housemate in? lmao come on, this is C5. And contact with the outside world is a classic for them too. "Kudos" to their orginality regarding a twist that has been done a few times before... They're exhausting, I swear.

I love how the details the initially released made it look like the most promising C5 launch twist ever And they've already ruined it and made it the worst
