Do you think Friday should be included in the 'launch' thread or be given its own thread?

 

umm ...  I would say 1 per day as usual - it makes it easier of anyone misses the show and wants to read back

Yes, having properly read the schedule for Thursday and Friday I also conclude that Friday will have to have its own thread.

Emma and Rylan

Interview: Emma and Rylan dish the dirt

 

This summer's Big Brother is all about rivalries: the USA vs the UK, housemate against housemate, and only one can win. But we've got two people who'd never square up to one another: it's Emma and Rylan!

 

Our two fave presenters are back, ready to take on whatever the celebrities can throw at them. And before it all kicks off, we've found out a bit about what to expect...

 

This year’s series is all about UK vs. USA. Do you think it’ll get very competitive?

Emma: I think it will be competitive but I am intrigued as to whether the housemates will play that game and try to get the opposition on side. I love to see if people play the game with each other. Also, genuine friendships do form between people you wouldn’t expect. You wouldn’t have thought Michelle Visage and Katie Hopkins would be good friends but it happened, so if people make friendships what happens if they are against each other?

Rylan: I think it will. People want to see the arguments and the Americans always bring it! 

Do you think it’ll make for a divided House throughout the series?

Rylan: It’s not like a split down the middle but it will see the competition heat up. There are going to be a lot of twists and turns along the way – there is so much I want to say and I can’t! It’s going to be great and we are over the moon. I think this series we are geared up and ready for the crazy! I am really excited about this series because it is something that we have never done.

Will it be more tense because of the international face off?

Emma: It was almost like UK vs. USA last time with Perez and Katie Hopkins! You never know what is going to happen, but they are being pitted against each other from the off. I imagine it will be tense and you can only hope that it doesn’t get too nasty and people have a sense of humour about it! All I want is great television, competitiveness, humour, fun and a bit of grief now and then. A great watch!

Will it be hard for you to stay neutral?

Emma: Not from a, ‘I’m team UK’ point of view, no, because some of my favourite Housemates have been Americans. I loved Michael Madsen, Speidi, Gary Busey. So for me it’s not about the teams. My favourites come from individuals and I think the game element of it will be brilliant.

Do you think the public will get into the patriotic nature of the series?

Rylan: I think they will. I will be interested to see where the public’s heart lies.

Instantly you think, “Come on UK!” because we are British, but I think there will be quite a few people thinking, “I want the Americans to do well for a change”.

The mix of housemates is very clever because a lot of the Americans are, without sounding stereotypical, very American. If you cut them open you will see stars and stripes, and the British are very Union Jack the whole way through.

If you could choose one dream housemate, who would you send into the house?

Emma: For the UK it would be Eamonn Holmes, and for the US it would be Ellen DeGeneres. The two of them would be amazing! Eamonn I know is a lovely person and Ellen seems like a lovely woman, she is bright, fun and entertaining. It would be the best debate in the world!

Rylan: My dream American contestant is going in! I can’t tell you who but they have always been on my dream list.

What kinds of transatlantic tasks would you like to see them doing?

Emma: I would love to see them do just a simple general knowledge quiz based on their country. People are so patriotic and love their country. Really? Well let’s see how much you actually know about that country you love so much!

Rylan: I would like to see a royal task because what is more British than the Royal family? The celebs could all battle it out to be first in line to the throne.

Who have been your favourite American housemates from past series’?

Emma: Speidi, without a doubt. They were one of the first that went in there and obviously played the game. There was no mucking about. They were being paid to do a job, they were entertaining, they were causing havoc, they were winding people up and they did it brilliantly to the point where you didn’t know that’s what they were doing or if that was really them!

Rylan: I loved Speidi because I do love a good argument and they gave me a good row! Otherwise, I think I would have been bored in there. Perez was an amazing housemate to watch as a viewer but not to live with! Gary Busey was just so Gary Busey that you didn’t know what was happening. I think that the Americans always give so much to this show.

Which former CBB housemate do you think would represent the UK best?

Emma: It has to be Cheggers. He is a British institution of a human being. An all-round nice guy who just wants to have fun, entertain, have a laugh, but also, if you push him too far, he will have you for it!

Rylan: I’d love to go in to represent the UK but if I’m representing the UK I want an MBE!

Why do you think UK audiences love to watch the American housemates so much?

Emma: It’s a sweeping generalisation but they like to talk and tell you what they’re feeling. We love that! We don’t want to see lots of celebs go in there who are media trained to the eyeballs and don’t want to say anything or act out of turn. The Americans will go in there and be very honest, very open and play the game. They give us what we want and they know how to do it. Whether they wind you up like Perez or whether it’s watching Gary Busey making foghorn noises, it is so random, and that is addictively watchable.

Rylan: I think it is to do with the difference in beliefs and the difference in handling situations as well because Americans like to talk stuff out, whereas Brits will often sweep stuff under the carpet. I think the Americans are going to be bringing it this series and the Brits need to watch out!

 

Celebrity Big Brother: UK vs USA. Starts Thursday 27th August, 9:00pm, Channel 5.

Of course, nothing is confirmed or official until the housemates step into the house during tonight's live launch on Channel 5.

 

There have been cold feet and even ARRESTS in the past that have seen the line up changed at the last minute.

 

Bit On The Side host Rylan Clark claimed that this summer's cast could be the most controversial yet, suggesting that they would scare evenPerez Hilton and promising plenty of flesh on display.

They include TOWIE's Gemma Collins, selfie Queen Karen Danczuk, Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner, Queen of Clean Kim Woodburn and WWE stars Hulk Hogan and Chyna.

 

Celebrity Big Brother spokesman said that they would not comment on speculation about potential housemates.

Tonight on Big Brother's Bit On The Side: 27 August

 

It's launch night! That means there'll be plenty for Rylan and his special guests to get their gnashers into on the first #BBBOTS of the series.

 

It's UK vs USA, remember, so homegrown stars Eamonn Holmes and Katie Price (herself a former CBB housemate) will go head-to-head with two American counterparts, the singer/dancer extraordinaire Kimberley Wyatt and the champion skater Matt Evers (let's hope he doesn't skate rings around the Brits).

 

Oh, and 10 British soldiers will go up against some all-American cheerleaders. Obviously those soldiers don't stand a chance.

 

PLUS, the lovely Emma Willis will pop into the studio for a chat with Rylan. Got a question you'd like him to ask her? Send us a tweet or drop us a Facebook comment. 

 

Anyway, it all kicks off at 11pm on Channel 5, after the main show. Let's hope Katie looks this glam...

Everything you need to know about launch night

 

Raise your glass and say cheers because we've just welcomed a whole Houseful of celebs into the Borehamwood bungalow! We've never seen a launch night we didn't like, but this one was particularly fantastic. Let's relive tonight's events...

It started, like any launch night, with a House and some new residents. First Sherri, Scoop, Natasha, Austin and Gail walked down those star-spangled stairs. Then they were joined by Chris, Jenna, Stevi and Chloe-Jasmine, Farrah, and James... and finally, Tila and Daniel

Chucking all those characters together in an enclosed space led to a couple of odd encounters, as Sherrie and Scoop got personal and Natasha revealed she found out she was coming into the House via a psychic (rather than the standard phone call from Big Brother.) 

Sherri

But before they could finish their first getting-to-know-you drinks, Big Brother announced a task...

The US and UK housemates took part in their first transatlantic battle: by using a cannon to try to knock one another's heads off. Well, cardboard versions of each other, anyway. 

The result was an early victory for the UK, which meant all housemates were treated to a UK themed party. Well, not quite all housemates. The UK housemates got to choose three US celebs to banish to the Tower while the celebrations were going on. Sorry, Farrah, Scoop, and Daniel, but no cucumber sandwiches for you tonight!

While the three banished celebs sulked in the Tower, Jenna and Tila had a heart-to-heart - and it looks like drama is brewing, because they've already noticed bad vibes coming from one of their fellow housemates...

Yeah, no prizes for guessing who. Stuck up in the Tower, Farrah declared war on Natasha, and soon it was all kicking off.

 

 

The stage is set for an awesome series already, but the launch drama isn't over, because tomorrow night two more housemates will be going into the House, and an almighty twist will kick in. Can't. Wait. See you tomorrow!

Tonight on Big Brother's Bit On The Side: 28th August

 

The housemates are in! Austin Armacost and Sherrie Hewson have debated the true meaning of the phrase "having a wizz-wazz" (he says it means having a chat, she reckons it's a wee, we're still none the wiser) and Fatman Scoop has already quizzed Jenna Jameson on her line of work.

 

Heady, heady times - and that was within the first few hours of day one.

 

So there's plenty to cover on BOTS tonight; luckily Rylan has a very enthusiastic panel in the studio. Former Kerry Katona will give us the skinny on fellow former Atomic Kitten Natasha and actor Philip Olivier will get into the minds of fellow actors Chris and Daniel.

 

We'll also have body language expert Judi James and behaviour expert Dr Pam Spurr, who'll give us some insights into the housemates' behaviour.

 

Want more? Go on then - Rylan will reveal the outcome of the shopping task and singer Kym Mazelle will belt out her cover of the hit 'Young Hearts Run Free'. Thart's your lot, though. 

 

10.30pm, Channel 5. We'll see you there!

Celebrity Big Brother bosses to investigate Tila Tequila over 'Nazi comments'

celebrity big brother 2015 line up - 12
 

Celebrity Big Brother 2015 is already facing its first controversy and we've not even been on air 24 hours.

 

Although this news actually has nothing to do with what's been going on inside the house, rather comments made by new housemate Tila Tequila long before she entered.

 

The US reality star and model was one of thirteen celebs who joined the show's UK v USA themed cast in last night's live launch show but the Independant newspaper reports that Channel 5 has come under attack for including Tila in the line up following comments she previously made about the Nazis and Adolf Hitler.

 

The alleged remarks date from years back in 2012 but as we all know, when it comes to appearing on reality telly all of your skeletons will be dragged out of the closet.

 

Tila - who has strongly denied being anti-semitic - supposedly described Hitler as a "good man" in a series of now deleted blog posts, claiming he had "stood up for his country" and "[tried] his best to help his country."

 

The Campaign Against Antisemitism have complained to Channel 5 with Jonathan Sacerdoti, director of communications, quoted as saying: “The British public has little time for attention-seeking Nazi sympathisers like Tila Tequila. Channel 5 and Endemol Shine UK ought to be ashamed of themselves for promoting such a deeply offensive person on prime time television."

 

A spokesperson for Channel 5 said: “These comments did not come to the attention of either Channel 5 or Endemol prior to this housemate’s entry into the Big Brotherhouse. We are currently investigating these comments.”

Celebrity Big Brother 2015: Tila Tequila REMOVED from the house

Why was Tila Tequila ejected from CBB?

celebrity big brother 2015 line up - 12
 

Tila Tequila has been REMOVED from the Celebrity Big Brother 2015 house after less than 24 hours.

 

We told earlier today how the show was facing its first controversy after less than a day.

 

Tonight (Friday) Channel 5 confirmed that Tila had left the house.

 

A statement from Channel 5 explained: “Unfortunately, Channel 5 and Endemol did not know about the views and attitudes Tila had expressed in social media postings prior to her involvement in Celebrity Big Brother.

 

"When they were brought to our attention, she was called to the Diary Room for a discussion with producers and was subsequently removed from the house.

 

The views Tila had expressed, and permitted to remain uncorrected, are totally unacceptable and, accordingly, her continued involvement in the programme was untenable.”
