I hope no one minds I made a separate thread for this upcoming show, as well as the general one for BBUK haps in 2008. Here's an article on this summer's BB.

DS News 4/05/08: Channel 4 Delays Big Brother 9 Launch

Channel 4 delays Big Brother 9 launch
Saturday, April 5 2008, 15:50 BST

By Daniel Kilkelly, Entertainment Reporter

Big Brother 9 will launch on June 5 to avoid a ratings battle with Britain's Got Talent, according to reports today.

The Channel 4 reality series traditionally kicks off towards the end of May, but the network is believed to have delayed this year's launch because a clash with Talent would be too risky. Ratings for Big Brother 8 dropped below 3 million viewers when it competed against the ITV1 show last summer.

The new series is expected to last for 13 weeks, with the final airing on September 5.

Insiders have admitted that this year's run could be "make or break" for the show, though suggestions that the 2007 series was a flop have been played down.

One source told the Daily Star: "Last year was a success. We had superbitch Charley, the Ziggy and Chanelle romance, the sexy 'Samanda' twins and of course dopey Brian who ended up winning. But that was last summer. The new show is what matters. Big Brother 9 is make or break."

I don't mind, Stormie. LOL Thank you for it. I really hope I remember when it starts so that I'm not 2 weeks behind and trying to catch up on all the shows.

Last summer it did seem like it had drop in ratings but hopeful it does better this year. I actully like BBUK better then BBUSA.

Oh I prefer your BB :-)

Last year BBUK was full of squealling and screeching girls and the on/off Ziggy and Chanelle relationship made me turn off.

Tissy, do you ever hear much about Charley, or did she fade into oblivion? I'm kind of hoping no one heard of her again (I'm mean) but sometimes the News of the World or someone tries to make stars out of undeserving people.

Give you a clue.

Who`s Charley :-)

A couple of pap shots etc but that`s the norm these days.

Tbh once BB is over I dont pay much interest to the hms, especially with the cheap tabloid and celeb mag stories.

Glad Charley's claims of her own tv show (fashion, was it?!) came to nothing. I saw that Chanelle had recently released a single and a fragrance, and that Liam was doing a lot of charitable work.

I haven't seen much about Brian, except pictures of him at events, mostly with the twins or Liam.

Not much from what I can gather.

The one who seems to be doing quite well is Chanelle as Kitt pointed out.

I'm not sure I like the idea of them messing with it too much... I hope it's still, well, BB.

I didn't realise Celebrity Hijack was such a flop (half million viewers compared 5.8Million for the previous year's celebrity BB).

I'm glad Davina will still be there.

There was a show about the auditions today, this is the first clip. Right now there are 3 parts up, there may be more, but on the right side in the comments, it says it continues tomorrow. I haven't checked yet, anyone know the schedule off the bat? Thanks!

Launch show is Thursday 5th at 9-10.40pm (subtract 8hrs for PST so this would be 1-2.40pm board time).

Big Brother regular show is at 9pm (1pm PT) every day.

Big Brother's Big Mouth seem to be Tuesday-Friday nights.

Big Brother's Little Brother seems to be most nights at 7.30pm.

Diary Room Uncuts are Sunday nights.

I can't wait until launch tonight! I just re-subscribed to streamtvnow.tv so should have the live stream right as it starts!

Less than 3 hours...

I really hope that Merlin guy doesn;t get in, but seeing how much airtime he got, I would not be surprised. Same with the transsexual Anthony was so fascinated with...

Big Brother reveals housemate clues

Big Brother has revealed clues about this year's 16 housemates.

Davina McCall will confirm the contestants' identities on the launch programme tonight, but snippets of information about them have already been confirmed.

This year's house will include a stand-up comic, a DJ and a deported American. One contestant will be a Buddhist, while another is Muslim.

Three of the housemates have children, three were born outside the UK, one starred in a film with Hugh Grant, while another has had a breast enlargement.

One contestant has never watched the show, another owns a £13,000 watch and the oldest housemate is 42.

I'm just watching the auditions now... much more interesting than the AI auditions. I liked how they "warmed up" the audience to see how they'd interact with others. Clever.

I saw somewhere else, maybe Reality BBQ that a former US houseguest will be on this season of the UK BB. Anybody have any idea who it may be?
