It’s official, Big Brother will replace Alex with a new housemate. The new contestant will go into the house after Davina’s pre-recorded interview with Alex is screened tonight.

Producers are not telling who the new housemate is — and won’t even reveal if it’s a man or woman.

Some sources say it will be an attractive woman — after producers messed up by putting Stephanie McMichael up for nomination. Although I do have to add, that the only sources to say the new housemate will be an attractive woman is The Sun, so it could easily be wishfull thinking on the behalf of the perverts that work in the British tabloids.

The new contestant will join the rest of the house on tonights show.

The 2008 press pack for Big Brother 9 has been released, along with pic’s of the new house.

The press pack opens with a description of the plan for this year’s series, including quotes from editor David Williams and creative director Sharon Powers:

So what does Big Brother have in store for this year? The sun might be shining but Big Brother 9 will be no summer holiday. If housemates think they can idle away the summer in the garden, they will be sorely mistaken. If they think they can break the rules and get away with it, they’re going to learn there are consequences. After all, this is a game show – only one can win, and they’ll have to play hard to win. But they should never forget that Big Brother is in charge, and that their fate lies inthe hands of the real power brokers in this game – the viewers.

David Williams, C4 Editor for Big Brother says: “It wouldn’t be summer without the big daddy of all reality shows and this year looks set to be more gripping than ever. There’s a brand new house, Davina is back to grill the evictees on Friday nights, George and Zezi are joining BBLB, and a brand new group of housemates are ready to walk through that door and into our lives”.

Sharon Powers, Creative Director of Big Brother says: “We’ve got a really exciting group of housemates ready to go into the Big Brother house. But they need to remember that the Big Brother rules are there for a reason – Big Brother will not tolerate rule breaks and will be tougher than ever on housemates. It’s going to be really exciting to see how they rise to the challenge of life in the house. For the housemates, and the viewers, it’s going to be a summer to remember.”

Another quote from the BB press pack:

A dormitory-style bedroom and a super-bling bathroom – it’s a confusing world the Big Brother 9 housemates are soon to be entering. They might think they’ve hit the jackpot with the Donald Trump meets P Diddy bathroom with its sumptuous gold and blue décor, but they’re not necessarily going to be sleeping in the lap of luxury.

This year’s brand new Big Brother house is the biggest ever. Once the housemates walk down the new entrance steps, they’ll encounter a large carpeted living area filled with comfortable sofas and plush coverings, mixed with angular light-boxes and of course, the large dining room table.

The separate kitchen area is ultra modern with a triangular central island and stainless steel and wood bench tops. A red theme runs throughout the kitchen with red and orange crockery, red walls and red and silver appliances.

The new bathroom is a souped-up sanctuary. A huge bath, complete with an ostentatious “swan” tap will be the ultimate retreat for housemates. Surrounded by flowers, greenery, gold statues, plus aquamarine blue velvet sofas, housemates will be able to relax and chill out in this extravagant area.

But there’s only so much a relaxing bath before bedtime can do when housemates have to sleep in ultra-basic beds. With the kind of scratchy thin blankets more associated with budget camping holidays, and far-from-comfortable mattresses, it could be very difficult for some to get a good night’s sleep. Adding to the dormitory atmosphere are “locker” walls and drawers more associated with school corridors than the Big Brother house. But what can it all mean?

At least the garden offers a touch more comfort with a central swimming pool, and more plants, flowers and greenery than ever before. Lounge chairs and armchairs make the garden the perfect place to gossip, and for those wanting a more private gossip there’s even an enclosed seating area. For the smokers of the house, there’s a surreal, Alice in Wonderland-proportioned giant “ashtray” for smokers to sit in.

It’s going to be very different from what the housemates have known before or are every likely to live in again. Home sweet home? Maybe. Or maybe not.

Big Brother UK, series 9, starts 9pm, Thrusday, on Channel 4.
