are the 16 or 18 HM this year?

16 I believe 18 is too much unless they come in later on.

I think it will be 16 because 18 is far too much it will be week 3 or 4 before the house will settle down and the fun to begin!!

Maybe it's 16 regular HMs, 1 celeb & 1 Willy Wonka winner.

I think that.....

i think either davina or one of the recent articles in the sun/star said there would be up to 18 housemates this year. I'm not certain though.

This is more likely then 18 going in then adding a celeb then the willy wonka winner!

Im not expecting 18 from the start, could be 16, maybe even 14, with 13 weeks and one wily wonker person going in later that would leave 4 for the last week.

We probobly wont know for sure untill a few days before, we didnt last year, the press were saying 14

yeah she did say that.
I really hope there isn't more then 14 on the first day.
I hate it when theres to many of them because the live coverage is a nightmare when they all talk over each other etc...

Do Endemol think we want more people? I think 13 last year was just right. 16 is ludicrous if you ask me, and don't even get me started on 18!

16 or 18? What: their age or IQ?
