News has just come in, that today's Sunday Mirror, has the front page headline 'BIG CON - First they send in 12 fake housemates'.

More news when it comes through later this morning.

- Is this the Mirror slating Big Brother, suspecting the show of recruiting 12 actors instead of real life people?



Big Brother bosses have devised their most dastardly plot yet - conning 12 contestants into thinking they have been picked for the show.

The evil plan involves two teams of housemates - one a "dummy dozen" and the other for real. Neither will know the other exists.

While the "dummies" are ushered into the BB house after packing their suitcases and saying tearful goodbyes to families and friends, the real ones will be shown into another part of the building.

A few hours later - after they've unpacked - 11 of the "dummies" will be booted out by public vote, leaving just one to join the real team.


The stairs make their return

Last night, a BB insider said: "This has to be the ultimate con - 12 poor hopefuls are going to believe they've been chosen and 11 will have their dreams shattered almost straight away." The Sunday Mirror can also reveal who 16 of the 24 housemates - real and otherwise - in BB6 will be. They include an ex-cop, a stripper-turned-dustman, a nurse, a stunning female builder and BB's first gay couple. One contestant is aged 56 - the oldest BB housemate yet.

The Channel 4 insider said: "We've picked the most ludicrous medley of misfits ever, including three beautiful maneaters. We want the craziest, raunchiest show in British TV history - I think these guys guarantee it."

We can also reveal how:

- It will be the longest running Big Brother yet - lasting 100 days.

- Housemates will be handed £5,000 each and win more by escaping eviction and passing tasks.

- Before contestants leave, they must give half the money they win to a BB-mate of their choice.

- The final 12 contestants will be split into two groups, half living in the upper part of the house, and the other half in the bottom.

- Bosses have deliberately picked housemates they know will have sex in the house.

Big Brother was so worried plans would leak out they have banned hopefuls from reading newspapers in the lead-up.

It all kicks off with a thrilling launch show, presented by Davina McCall and Dermot O'Leary on May 27 - and won't end until September 3.

In a complex double-bluff, viewers will see the first group - the "dummies" - secretly moved into the top part of the building, called Owl House. Davina will then move another group - the real team - into the lower part, called Sun House.

The 12 Owl housemates don't know that all but one of them will be voted off by the public that night. The surviving housemate will then join the others.

The insider said: "They are in for a nasty surprise and a big shock."

But the cruelty doesn't stop there. The remaining 12 contestants will then be split into two groups and live in the Owl or Sun house to compete against each other.

Those in the Owl House, with no windows and artificial lighting, will only be allowed out at night.

Those in the Sun House can only venture out during daylight hours. Both houses have their own bedrooms, living area, bathroom and kitchen - but will have to share the garden at different times.

A secret staircase links to the two parts, but can only be opened by Big Brother.

After a couple of weeks, the two houses finally merge and individual housemates can be nominated for eviction.

Each week there will be three tasks which can win them immunity from nomination and luxury goods such as food and cigarettes.

But for the first time in the show's history, housemates can also win individual prize money. Each housemate is given a £5,000 fund when they first walk through the doors. They get another £5,000 for each week they survive.

However, if they get evicted, they have to give half their total winnings to a surviving housemate. After two months, they can bank all their prize money and keep it, even if evicted. The Big Brother winner will walk away with £75,000.

The show insider said: "The prize money will set housemate against housemate like never before. The longer you stay in, the more money you earn, but also the more people you have to nominate for eviction. It could get very unpleasant."

BB6 chiefs face stiff competition when the show starts - as they go head to head with ITV1's rival reality show Celebrity Love Island.

Our insider said: "It's going to be full-on sex this year, with wall-to-wall romps. This lot won't care who sees them naked or getting up to naughtiness. We're on to a winner."

All that I can say is that it will be interesting to see if any of this si true when it does start on May 27th!

That doesnt sound very good at all. Actors are boring. Real people are far better. I'm not sure if I believe anything I've read or heard so far but we'll find out in a couple of weeks.

CorkMan

I hope it's not actors, otherwise it would rule!

That story doesn't actually mention actors at all - it says a 'fake' twelve, i.e. there would be 24 real contestants - with 11 wannabes/fake contestants immediately booted out and only one surviving... thus, these 12 would be the fake twelve as they would be seperated from the original 12, if you know what I mean...

solice

Are the 11 that are getting booted out on the first night getting 5000

snappieT

Well since you only get 5k for every eviction you avoid, I'd hinder a guess of no.

Pigman II

That report feels fake to me. There's just TOO much info in it and all the contestants there have 'normal' names (ie there's usually the odd weird one like 'Anushka', 'Bubble' 'Kitten' or woteva). Not to mention that a lot of the contestants there seem to have the same names as ex BB players. Also just by doing the maths there should be 23 housemates, why does that list only have 16?

Anyway, I guess we can just wait and see....

Gileadi

has any of this proven to be remotly true?

BuffyBot

Nope, but these things rarely do!

mkelleher77

Having said that, I read something on the DS:BB Forum three days before the start which gave the full list of names for BB6. Included on this list was 'Science' and - thus - I immediately dismissed it. Oops .
