BBUK: 100 Hopefuls To Fight For 16 Spots On Launch Night?

The Daily Star is reporting that 100 wannabe house mates will compete in a special task for the 16 house mate spots on the last ever series.  While the task is currently a secret, the first 16 to complete it, will enter the house.

1Imagine if this is true? I don’t know what to think. It would be the biggest launch, but would it be the best?  Thoughts? Daily Star

In the past TV bosses have selected the contestants for the show in advance. But for the last ever BB, host Davina McCall, 42, will gather 100 candidates at Elstree studios in Hertfordshire. All will have passed medical, police and psychological tests and been told they might become housemates.

When they are all brought together, Davina will tell them they face a special task. The challenge itself will be kept under wraps until launch night next month. However, the first 16 applicants to pass the test will win a place in the BB house and the rest will be sent packing.

Last night our BB mole said: “This is the biggest stunt that producers have ever pulled off. “Bosses have unearthed what they think are 100 potentially good housemates. But none of them has got a guaranteed place on the show. It’s going to be a tough battle.”

Last night a spokesman for the show would only say: “This may be the end but there are still a few more surprises in store.”

Big Brother 11, due to start next month, will be the longest-ever series staged, lasting just over 13 weeks.
