BIG BROTHER is back - and he's on a POWER TRIP


Reality TV fans are about to enter a summer (if it ever stops raining!) of heaven - as our favourite Big Brother returns, tomorrow night. 


This year, as you might've already heard, the theme is Power Trip. 


I love it when Big Brother runs a theme, as I feel it brings more excitement, twists, mind games and of course entertainment. 


With a theme, the housemates think they know what to expect. They think they can read Big Brother. Of course, they can't. 


The lovely Emma Willis, and the even lovelier Rylan Clark, return as hosts of the main show and Big Brother's Bit on the Side, respectively. 




One housemate will grab control during tomorrow's launch night, meaning that they will decide who gets evicted, who suffers and who gets all the treats while in the house. However, this person will only have the power for so long, before someone else becomes leader. 


This will mean that the housemates will each be out for themselves, having to play a cunning, ruthless game to make sure they gain ultimate control. 


The new house, which looks very high-tech and swanky, has been stripped back and kept minimalist. 


Housemates will have to scan their hand print before being granted entry to the Diary Room and an LED wall will present the faces of whos' up for eviction each week. 


My favourite piece of gossip so far is that they will also be given access to social media, meaning Facebook and Twitter will be a talking point. Let's hope they're all nice, as no one like reading bad of themselves! Not forgetting a 'Gogglebox' type bolt hole, so housemates can be spied on from a tree-top hide-out. 


Each contestant has also, apparently, been given an IQ test, to assure that they're all smart enough to handle the Power Trip...(ooo-err!) 


Host, Emma, has revealed that she still gets nervous about the live shows and will prepare for tomorrow night with a vodka (that's a girl!), before she goes on air.  


"The main show is very nerve-racking so I have vodka and Red Bull that I start drinking five minutes beforehand, and I sip at it throughout the whole show. I don't know why I do it. But I did it once and then thought I had to do it every time because it was my good luck thing," Emma told the Daily Star Sunday. 

It's also been announced that last year's Celebrity Big Brother contestant Luisa Zissman will be joinng the BBOTS team as a roving reporter.  

Now, all we need is a bunch of (probably very smart!) housemates!


Roll on tomorrow night, 9pm, on Channel 5.
