Lovely to see you, Bella. I hope you are doing ok. (and that reprobate sister of yours )

I think part of the fun of BB is having your prejudices proved wrong. I am already drawn to

Final predictions before they all go in later

Showmance



Villain/s



First out candidates



Most Diary Room monologue time (if they stay in for a while)

Hi Art.:+))))))))))))))))))))

I missed you though, thought it was something we had said to upset you.


Hi Elfy.:+))))))))))))))))))

Hope you are excited about the new BB starting?


Hi Bella.:+)))))))))))))))))

It's always good to hear from you, hope you are going to enjoy the new BB this year?

Hello Hicky!
I'll give it a go, but I'm not excited. I don't like the fact the contestants were revealed beforehand etc. But there might be a good surprise.

Are you excited Hicky?

Well fingers crossed it'll be a good night.

I have pork pies and popcorn on hand

Still a ghost town out there with just over 2.5 hours to go

Launch Night thread is up and there WILL be a WHATM thread for the generous 1 hour Live Feed later on

Thanks honey.

Come on number 6.

Thank you Barra, you too Hicky - if someone had upset me, I would have said something or at least had a proper diva-like flounce!
I also had 40 cat-themed cards to make for Nine Lives which took about 3 weeks to make.

Some good news for Barra

Nikki pretty much confirmed shes involved in this years series at some point and as a bb fan not to mention a BB7 FAN! I'm excited! #bbuk

I look forward to reading your opinions on the new HMs as I won't be able to watch the launch until tomorrow because of the time difference.

I would love to see one if you have a photo handy, Arte. I am glad you have been kept busy, but you were much missed.

Me too. That was the point I started to look forward to it.

I wasn't aware this was even starting again tonight until I saw in the paper today.
Wasn't going to watch but.....

Like moths to the flame, arent we?

Shall I add you to the sweep?

Thanks richie, its the reaction on this forum that i will dread the most !

Additional info

Nikki says she will NOT be going in tonight but may at another time she doesn't want to reveal any secrets. #bbuk

I'm always excited, seen every one so far, still as exciting.


I'll be round at 9.30.


I hope all these cats appreciate the cards.


Gina is on BBBOTS she said earlier.

Thanks where did you get that from

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself (George Bernard Shaw)...I luv Big bro!

Nikki was on Channel 5 earlier talking about the new series

ah yes i know she was on the news, just checking it hadnt come from elsewhere.

School mothers on their school runs in the morning, why do they feel entitled? FFS! I stop drinking before 10 am to be roadworthy for an afternoon school pick-up and how the hell do you flip a van on the A331 at 7:45? Crash is okay but to flip it at 7:45? ...this has been cathartic

thanks for adding me to the sweep honey hope all my lurkers friends are ok

Hi poppy.:+)))))))))))))))))
