What has the specualtion been about the secret room? I would hope for a bank of monitors or a plasma wit hthe feeds on. So we could watch bb hm watching bb.

If Kitten did go along with it the likely event is she would see many people talk shit about her and would come back with an axe to grind.

Not only good for the ratings, UKTJ, but just think of the revenue that'll be gained from the gazillions of teenie-texters voting her out! They'll never give her the back-door boot. Ever.

I imagine that's why we only have the one live stream so far. The other is for the bedsit (when it happens).

Is that sarcasm? The lack of multiple feeds is simply so C4 can have more control over what the live feed viewers get to see.

What do you mean by 'handle'? They can ONLY keep asking for HMs to follow the rules, and if they don't comply, what do you expect of BB? Put her in a straight jacket?

Not sure how official Teletext can claim to be given their dodgy record on stuff like this, but this will be better for the long term IMO, kick out one of the boring housemates like Michelle/Shell/Dan so there's one less of them at the end, and keep the controversial argumentative HMs in for another week.

If they were doing nominations this week it'd be Ahmed out I reckon, and that would be crap because he's causing half of the arguments at the mo and he wouldn't do anything in the bedsit. The main problem with this plan is that this is going to be a planned weekly eviction, so essentially there's very little punishment for Kitten's behaviour. I would prefer if the punished HM gets to go to the bedsite and then they have the weekly eviction as well (so two in total) and they both go to the bedsit. Get Victor in there cos he would love to get revenge and control what happens in the house.

Either that or kick Kitten out, lock her up in a box, pour cement in and throw it in the ocean.

No, I use 'irony dots' for sarcasm...

And I disagree with your statement.

Call them to the DR and just remove themlike on bbusa. I think the one in last year actually got to say goodbye. The guy from season 2 was just called to the DR and removed. Neither of the 2 were invited back to the finale and they were removed from the intro. There were also gagged so no media work or web interviews too.

That would be crap from both the viewers and C$'s point of view. Who would gain? Ohhhh, justice, silly me! Right on!

Oh im all for Kitten staying in, im not exactly a fan of hers but i like the way she challenges the BB character. Its people like Shell and Vanessa who dont contribute to the show that need to be gone.

However i dont like the ones that cause drama for the sake of it so i guess Kitten comes into that category too...hmm.

I'd run with those ideas for sure! But that seems too easy! By effectively saying that ALL the other HMs are liable to suffer for the misdeamenours of one, it is kind of evil isn't it! There SHOULD then be enough peer pressue to get the offenders to comply, but Kitten is a hard nut to crack, and the other HMs are too weak, pathetic even, falling for Kittens excuses and her 'it's not my fault' moans whenever she cocks up.... again. And BB can't wait for more conflict between HMs and want to escalate the tension, not remove the main sources of the tension! I don't like Kitten, but for entertainment value they have made a good decison.... Now the question is, who pays for Kittens rule breaking?!

kitten has to stay for the entertainment value - she is very good

Oh, I don't like her, either, but she has instigated most of the going-ons in the house so far. I want her inevitable eviction to be a good'un.. Boos followed by an interview with Davina. The last thing I'd want is to see her kicked out via the back door and not given a final chance to act a complete numpty in the studio. This is what makes BB great and has made this year's so much more watchable than the last.

I agree,..but BB seems to think that this is a punishment on Kitty for some reason.

I was okay with it before, because I believed that the chosen housemate would be in the secret room. And it would be fascinating to watch how the remaining HMs react, and to see this fake evictee watching them all.
It would have been brilliant entertainment.

But now it seems that BB think that they are punishing Kitten,..now the idea is cancelled, it's a bit of an anti-climax, and a bit shit.

She won't last long, unforch. All we can do is hope that she leaves some kind of uncomfortable legacy for the other housemates and that her eviction is a good one. Not the back door.

What else can they (C4) do?

i know she wont last long but she is very funny

Well the original plan was what a hell of a lot of people were hoping for.

The evictee kicked out for Kitten's "punishment", would be taken with the normal evictee to the secret room.
Very simple, very good.

Well, yeah. But I mean now, with the current circumstances? I can't see how C4 could've worked it any other way, to be fair to them.

Possibly the most entertaining housemate ever. In, what, 6 days!

It's only a matter of time before the daily papers get behind Kitten and champion her because she stirs trouble and that makes good viewing.

I can't see her NOT making the final 4 as it would be in Big Brother's favour to make sure she stays in, due to the guaranteed arguments, bitching and great-to-watch TV which is the whole aim of the show after all.

If BB has to choose to kick someone out this Friday, they will pick in their opinion, the person who has the least public appeal...it certainly won't be random!

I'd very strongly advise anyone to back Kitten at around the current 33/1 Each Way, the down side is minimal but the upside is massive.

I've got a 100% winning betting record in the last 3 BBs (about 20 bets in total throughout the series) and there is no reason to believe that it will change this time.

They can do more than just ask. They can put psychological pressure on by threatening the happines of other HMs - eg, no booze, less food, some put in a separate area.

It crossed my mind that if BB decides to evict a random housemate tonight for real, that they may compensate them with a cash sum. Obviously this would only apply if Kitten was being kept in the house for the inevitable backlash from angry housemates.

Just a thought.

when big brother said a playmate would be evicted
at anytime and on anyday, they meant just that

a real eviction tonight suggests instant voting
so it is possible kitten could be evicted for good

then, say on saturday, big brother will announce a second eviction
the eviction big brother promised for kittens three strikes

it is this playmate i envisage being taken to the secret room

Then you'll have to throw out Stuart aswell...since he made up "Big Sister".
