Big Brother 2009: Celebrating 10 years on air tonight

Tonight sees the premier of “Big Brother 10” and what better way to kick this year off and celebrate 10 years on air than to spring a surprise on the new housemates. BB is pulling the cruellest stunt yet, when they announce that the newest lot of contestants will not be official housemates.

The identities of the “wannabe” housemates will be announced one by one by host of the show Davina McCall. And they will all now have to earn the right to become an official housemate and stay to battle it out for the £100,000 prize money.

According to dailymail.co.uk, over the next three days, each individual will have to complete tasks that will be set by Big Brother and earn their housemate status. This year the house has a new minimalistic feel to it and won’t have all the luxuries that housemates have had in the past.
