The Big Brother<\/strong> eye was revealed a few days ago (fingers on the pulse, us). Here’s the picture we’ve nicked off of Digital Spy:<\/p>\n

\nIt’s Emma Willis surrounded by loads of doors in the shape of an eye!<\/p>\n

We probably won’t be covering Big Brother<\/strong> an awful lot (unless something very notable happens), so you’re well advised to have a look at BB Spy<\/a>, which is the Bother’s Bar Big Brother fansite of choice. We just can’t commit to the amount of time BB requires of us these days, although we appreciate it as a production, and we’ll probably tune into Bit on the Side<\/strong> quite a lot (and we’re very pleased Willis will be staying on that).<\/p>\n

However this year sounds actually rather more exciting than most because they’re subtitling the series Secrets and Lies<\/strong> and sounds like there’s going to be some quite interesting meta-gamage going on. The obvious suggestion is they’re going to be taking leaves out of Secret Story<\/strong>‘s book (Secret Story<\/em> is an\u00a0international BB variant), where everyone has a secret they have to defend whilst trying to work out the secrets of others. Whatsmore the house has plenty of secrets, usually with a big overarching puzzle with a prize being a direct trip to the final week. Obviously we love<\/em> this sort of thing, but it is quite unusual for the UK production to directly borrow ideas from other countries without putting their own spin on it, more usual for everyone else to borrow our ideas, but this is a route we definitely like the idea of it going down.<\/p>\n

An idea\u00a0I idly had was one housemate being given something innocuous as an accessory\u00a0to keep on them at all times that granted immunity for as long as nobody else in the house realised, but being given secret tasks that’d annoy the rest of the house with BB dripfeeding hints to the house if they didn’t perform.<\/p>\n

If things like that happen we’ll be quite pleased. If things like “do this thing and we’ll reward you! Oh! We lied.” Is the overarching theme it will be rather more disappointing.\u00a0Similarly prize fund twists can sod off.<\/p>\n

No start date has been given yet, although the week 9th-15th of June is looking probable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
