aaahhh don't take it out on other people. sure it'll get better soon.
One rumour is that there are likely to be several contestants with the same name trying to get one spot, so you'd need to give more than just his name to try to get a price of the correct one getting into the house.
Big Brother bosses have confirmed that there will be between 80 and 90 hopeful housemates on launch night.
The opening twist will involve Big Brother revealing the final selection of contestants live in front of the nation next Wednesday. Creative director Phil Edgar Jones admitted that the producers are still in the process of selecting their final cast.
"We've got our shortlist of people coming down on launch night," he said. "There will probably be around 80 or 90 people. They are all coming down to join in this last carnival which is Big Brother.
"None of them will know whether or not they have been picked. To be honest, not even we know all of them yet. Some of them we do, some we don't."
He continued: "Big Brother still makes the decision on who goes in the house, like it has always done. You will just see the moment when they find out who enters this wonderful, beautiful house. There will be between 12 to 14 housemates. I'm being truthful, we genuinely don't know at this point how many. We haven't finished selecting yet, we are just trying to get the mix right."
Explaining the physical setup on Wednesday night, he said: "They will still walk in individually and get their own walk into the house. They are just not pulling up in cars, getting booed or cheered. We are doing it in a slightly different way.
"They will be outside. On the big staging outside. Davina will be there. The big crowd will be there. They will all be there in the middle with their name badges on. Big Brother will announce who is going in the house, then you'll see their face as they start screaming, gibbering or running away madly from it. Who knows?"
