It appears that the X Factor has hit Australia with the house including ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.

The first batch of housemates entered on Saturday night, with more expected during the show premiere on Sunday.

See http://www.behindbigbrother.com - the forums have a thread on this!


UPDATE:
Three secrets have been revealed to the audience at the BBA house - one of them is true.

1 - The prize is $1,000,000 (usually $250,000)
2 - There are two couples in the house (ex's)
3 - The house is split into two by a perspex wall (Sweden did this!)

Ooooh, the ex-factor! I did enjoy that slant on the US BB last year, as I think it lent itself to the style of the BB game over there. Not sure if it would work here.

I like the look of their house, a bit sixties like ours last year, only not as starkly done, more accessories.

The secret has been confirmed - $1,000,000 prize (about £400,000, but they pay tax on it!).

What an anti-climax!

Might not be an anti-climax really, because once there are about eight housemates left and it is getting very tense in the house - think of the reactions when they are told they are playing for four times what they originally thought. The amount of tactics, bitching etc. which will go on will be out of this world.

The perspex wall would have been a nice idea, but only if it was like Rich & Poor, but the divide is even greater.

The ex-factor would be nice, but pretty boring. Couples will vote for their partner if they broke up acrimoniously and you have very predictable voting patterns.
