But as only 6 celebrities will be eligible for eviction they are going to have to show the results of the bed bug trial before they open the phone lines, otherwise they will spoil the result.
which either means they will have to rush through events of the last 48 hrs, show them out of order to get to the bed bugs trial first or that the phone lines won't be open for very long??
Especially as in days of compliance (especially so with ant and dec programmes!) they need a period of time after the phone vote is closed to check + authenticate the result.”
A 90 minute show (closer to 70 if you don't include ad breaks)
Hugo's BTT
Bed Bug Trial
Run up to and aftermath of both of them
Vote and interview with eliminated contestant
I'd say something like the first 40 minutes will be devoted to Hugo's Trial and the Bed Bug trial which will take us up to something like 9:10
They normally announce the result before the last ad break and the last part of the show is devoted to an interview with the eminated contestant. So lets say the lines are closed at about 10:05 in order to allow verification of the totals.
In that case the lines would be open for something like 50 minutes. They can't open the lines as soon as the show starts as that would reveal who is and isn't immune which would mean there would be no point in watching the task.
