Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack

Starts Tomorrow. What's this all about?....

From what I can tell, there will be tallented individuals put into the house, and they are not the celebrities. The celebrities are the voice of Big Brother, and they tell the individuals what they have to do. They can give the housemates tasks, and punishments.

C4 tomorrow, then the rest of the shows are on E4.

It doesn't sound all that interesting compared to the usual Big Brother shows, but I'll watch tomorrow before I make my mind up.

It seems the BB people don't know either.

It looks like it will be more like the normal celebrity BB.

Re: Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack

Has been quite amusing and at the same time cringeworthy tonight.

Liked Matt Lucas giving that poor Scottish lad the instructions as to how to act........I would have been much more cruel though

Re: Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack

Did anyone watch this? I am a fan of Big brother and haven't missed one series and hardly any episodes but I didnt watch this BB hijack. To me is just seemed a bit pants.

i did, and thought it was better than normal non-celeb version.

It was quite fun at times with the celebs coming into the booth, and into the house as well. The disgruntled camera-man spoof was funny, when he stormed into the house , at least these kids had values, that previous ones did not, no drunken shanagians, bottle tricks or throwing up, shame people did not take to it. Victor and emile were amazing talent with their high speed spininig, Nathan is a talented singer - listen, Callista was pretty good at music playing (piano, etc, not her bongos!), the harry hill send up was funny.

Re: Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack

Glad you enjoyed it. I hope this revised format hasn't killed off BB as I do look forward to watching BB in the summer. From what I can see this BB wasn't very popular, possibly due to it not being on Channel 4.

Being on E4 wasn't the reason. Plenty of people get E4 now. They changed the format too much. I only watched about an hour in total and a few BBLB's as it just wasn't like the regular BB Also, the people were just not interesting.

The format change is what put me off. I am really surprised that I sat out the whole show this time as I normally never miss an episode.
