Big Brother 2012 launch night

BLOG ALERT : Housemates pictures will be added/updated as soon as I get em.

Big Brother 2012 launch night 5th June, kicked off on Channel 5 this evening with a mega 16 housemates. First housemate in, Deana, was given immunity from Friday nights eviction so long as she nominated three fellow housemates. And she had to nominate in front of them.

Deana, a pretty Asian girl is the company of a wild and wacky bunch. Here's my first impressions, and as always with Big Brother, they usually change as the weeks go by.

Deana

HM 1 Deana : Pretty, came across bolshy and upfront in audition footage but I see a sneaky side to her which will involve backstabbing and manipulation to get what she wants. My side-kick, Joelle, who is helping me edit this write up liked her at first but didn't like the way she came across throughout the programme.

HM 2 Arron : Manchester model claims to be a player but isn't all that hot or cool enough to carry it off. A little bit too prissy for my liking. Will watch him and see. Joelle thinks he's a knob.

HM 3 Caroline : Self-confessed lazy bones has big unruly hair and will probably come across as totally annoying or funny. Joelle likes her.

HM 4 Shievonne : 28 year old Londoner is a little self-obsessed and loud. May get on with Caroline. May get on other HM's nerves.

HM 5 Conor : Irish Jack-The-Lad came across cocky on audition footage but throughout the show seemed like a funny housemate who can get on with anyone, yet is able to stand up for himself. Will either be great pals with Arron or enemies. Conor was nominated by Deana at the end of the show. Her reason; he didn't make the effort to talk to her.

HM 6 Lauren : Farmer's daughter Lauren is well educated and obviously in there for the TOTTIE factor. Seems likely to get up to pool and bedroom antics to keep viewers watching.

HM 7 Luke A : Transexual Luke is a 31 year old chef who is married. A lot of stories to tell and as a chef will be great in the kitchen until housemates decide they want to eat/cook different things from the others. Seems confident within himself

Adam

HM 8 Adam : Brit Born, American reared, former prisoner turned good guy seems genuine and will probably want to take the fatherly role in the house which normally means boring viewing and bossy to housemates.  Has 14 sisters so should know how to handle any bitching between female housemates.

Sarah

HM 9 Sarah : Gorgeous TOTTIE model from Edinburgh. Definitely a fave with the guys and I caught Luke A checking her out with a BIG grin on his face. I thought Deana may have picked her for nomination, but she escaped.

HM 10 Scott : Me and Joelle don't like this self-confessed snob, gay student as he appeared to snub Adam and Shievonne on his entrance in the house. Will have to keep my eyes on him.

HM 11 Ashleigh : Loopy Ashley likes to swear and annoyed me and Joelle so much from the audition footage we didn't pay her any attention.

HM 12 Luke S : Clever young entrepreneur comes across cocky but he insists he's not.

HM 13 Lydia : 25 year old dancer/model Lydia is the girlfriend of Andy Scott Lee (Michelle Heaton's ex) so she would have had a good briefing on how to portray herself on reality TV. Such a shame she's been nominated for eviction by Deana who said they didn't talk enough, which Lydia refuted. Lydia was not a happy bunny at the end of the show.

HM 14 Benedict : 32 year old stripper loves porn and will obviously be keen to show his body off in the house and get some action. He's not all that hot and may make the girls flesh crawl with too much sex talk.

HM 15 Chris : Chubby, squeaky voiced Chris seems to be a eager to please guy and will think he's funny when he's not. He's single but I don't think he'll find love in the house but may please viewers...Or not.

HM 16 Victoria : 41 year old Victoria is hot for her age but putting just one housemate in her age group is a little bit cruel. She may be ostracised by the other girls and may come across desperate to viewers if she joins in the fun. Poor Victoria may be last in, first out as Deana nominated her for having evil eyes.

Big Brother is wicked making Deana pick 3 housemates to face the public vote as she has to spend 3 nights with them and faces heavy backlash and possibly being up herself next nominations, especially if Lydia stays in. She could have opted out of the decision and faced the public vote herself, which is what a coward like me would've done. If she's as straight up as she claims she'll handle herself well but something tells me there's gonna be tears and slanging matches over the next few days.

Roll on tomorrows show. I can't wait.

We've missed you Big Brother.
