BB10 - Launch Night
Finally our embattled and divided nation gets the chance to come together as one and start voting for the things that matter in life. Yep, switch off those boring European Election results, and welcome to Big Brother 10!
This year’s show promises to be the most vicious yet, with 16 contestants entering a special "holding area" where they’ll have to sleep for a few nights and live on a diet of watery porridge. Only 10 of the 16 will make it into the house, with Davina revealing the lucky people on Sunday.
Here's a brief introduction to this year’s motley bunch of reprobates as they entered the house. As promised by the producers, they're a diverse bunch - even by Big Brother's bizarre standards.
First up was Freddie. He has a penchant for velvet jackets, lives in a stately home, and believes in "free market and free love". He also reckons he's the "coolest dude in the universe". He's more like a slightly affected Derren Brown, if you ask us.
Next up, Lisa, an unemployed lesbian with a mohawk. Oh my. She has no A' levels, but she can "do anything" - including dance around to ska for the cameras, by the looks of things.
Meet Sophie, the first glamour girl to enter the house. She can hold a beer bottle between her boobs, she's a 30FF, and she likes going on about her jubblies. She wants to be the President and live in the English White House. Does she know something we don't?
Next in, one for the ladies! Floppy haired Russell Brand-alike Kris can "go out in a bin bag and still come home with someone". Let's hope Big Brother makes him prove it.
Noirin's next, she's a Retail Manager with "beautiful lips". She's an exhibitionist, apparently. You don't say, Noirin. She also says that on an average night out she gets hit fifty times. Oh, sorry hit upon fifty times.
Meet Cairon, he was born in England, but upped and left when he was one. Resourceful kid.
Angel was in next.. she's a boxer and singer from Russia. She wore a top hat and carried a cane, and she did a bit of mime on the way in, too... which went down really well with the crowd, as you can imagine.
Karly thinks she's a bitch, but she's not stuck up, and her best feature is "definitely her a***". It'll be interesting to see how this one hits it off with her fellow aspiring Nuts model Sophie. She was once duped into posing naked for a fake photoshoot. D'Oh.
Marcus likes Wolverine a little too much He's one of those guys who spends his entire weekends drooling over £80 action figures down at Forbidden Planet.
Beinazir reckons she looks like a prostitute, but assures us that she's not. She's like a man, and "alpha female" she says. She's taking something like 5000 pieces of jewellery into the house, and Benazir Bhutto gave her a typewriter once.
Sophia has one of those laughs you either love or hate. Which one's your money on, readers?
Rodrigo - cue samba music! He's happy "to make friendship with everyone". He's a fresh-faced Brazilian who reckons England's turning him gay. He looks like he could do well. He wants to sleep with LaToya Jackson. See? Well gay.
Charlie's a camp Geordie who tells people he works for the government, but actually works for a call centre. He's planning on having Botox when he's 50, or a face transplant if that doesn't work. Why wait, Charles?
Saffia's a dental nurse who can't see good or nice things in anybody. Presumably she's gone into the Big Brother house just to confirm that hypothesis.
Here's Sree. His mates call him "Super Sree" if the papers are to be believed. He had a pint of beer once, then had a hangover. He'd like to be Prime Minister. He probably could.
And finally.. good God. It's event organiser-slash-stylist-slash-idiot Siavash. He was born in Iran, and reckons he's pretty unique. He's not wrong. He's got quite a look going on. His favourite word is Siavash. You get the idea. "Daddy is home!" he bellows as he enters the house.
That's it! Now it's over to Big Brother to spill the sordid can of beans...
