What surprises are in store this year?

Firstly, I think we're due at least one more housemate at some point. With there being 10 weeks this year and still 12 housemates then that's going to leave 3 in the final week unless another housemate is added. I can't see them going back to 3 in the final week, in all honesty.

The question is, when will they be added. They surely won't leave it as long as they waited to put Lisa in the house last year (week 6, IIRC). That just smacked of desperation to spice up the house and make sure they had 4 in the final week after the earlier double eviction (which I don't think was planned from the outset. They just needed something to drum up interest).

I think they'll go in during week 2 or 3, but I wonder what type of person they'll go for.

i have no clue, i think they have covered all the grounds they can...all thats left is a drag queen!

I think they'll be going in pretty early and were probably locked away a couple of days ago (in Belgium :D) so they have no idea who's in the house.

I'm thinking they might go for someone ultra-religious. Perhaps even a vicar!

I wonder if there are any secret areas in the house. Last year, they had the Reward Room, although I don't think that'll be repeated.

I'm intrigued by this rumoured 'sin bin' area, where housemates who are deemed too dull will be sent for a few days. Not sure whether it will work in practice, but I don't know the full details behind it. I'm sure they would have fully tested it in the practice run through so they must have a fair idea of whether it's viable.

A thing about the Sin Bin, wouldn't putting someone deemed dull into a confined space just make them about 10 times as dull. Is it supposed to make them become more entertaining when they come out? Mmmmmmm....*strokes chin*

That's what I'm thinking, although I don't think they'll put just one housemate in there. More likely a few.

I actually think this is one rumour though that isn't true.

However, I do think there is going to be a secret room in the house. What it's going to be used for though, I don't know.
