Oh this is sooo exciting. The launch date for the final season of Big Brother is June 9th (as we reported earlier this month).

Furthermore,  we reported a rumor yesterday about the 100 hopefuls trying to fill 16 spots… that’s also looking to be true (in some capacity)!  Directly from Channel4.com regarding launch night:

Davina McCall will come direct from the Big Brother house to usher in one last group of Big Brother Housemates.

However, in a twist to the usual format there will be more hopefuls than the house can hold. In front of the cameras and the baying crowd each of the hopefuls will find out their fate. Will Big Brother select them to spend a summer in front of the cameras or will they have to head home with their bag still packed?

The new Housemates will be selected one by one and allowed into the Big Brother house to begin what could be the most exciting and unpredictable few weeks of their lives. Watch those first awkward moments unfold as they get to know each other and await the start of Big Brother’s games.
