Kit Kat winner to enter tomorrow

Never before have we seen a member of the public, un-auditioned, not story-lined and unprepared living under the omnipresent eye of Big Brother. But tomorrow night the eleven housemates will be joined by a twelth, unknowingly chosen at random by them from the lucky winners of the Kit Kat Golden Ticket.

Only 58 of the 100 tickets have been claimed, with two winners dropping out - an eight year old boy, and a student due to sit his A-levels. The remaining 56 include a radio DJ, a self-confessed playboy and a granny with boobs and piercings to compete with Lea!

Housemates have recently been begging Big Brother to bring some fresh blood into the house, with Lisa, now struggling to even be friends with love-interest Pete, demanding "a playmate we can kiss."

The potential housemates are currently undergoing rigorous screening including police checks and psychological assessments before one is chosen at random during a specially extended eviction show starting at 10pm tomorrow night.

This could be good telly, be interesting to see how many are screened out and just how random it is as to who goes in Still 42 tickets out there, how bizarre they have not been found.

I'm really sceptical about this actually, are they really going to risk putting an 'ordinary' person in the house, or are the "psychological assessments" really to decide which tickets accidentally get lost?

Apparently there are 35 still in the frame, including a NOTW writer, a journalist from the Sportsman and a radio DJ from Ireland.


WHICH ONE WILL IT BE?: The contenders



A PROFESSIONAL tennis player, a 50-year-old Abba-impersonating grandmother and a national newspaper journalist are two of the 35 Golden Ticket holders who have a chance of entering the Big Brother house tonight.

The Big Brother housemates will be asked to gather in the garden and randomly pick a lottery ball which will determine who will join them.

All the ticket holders will be on the Big Brother stage before one of them, with a number that corresponds to the ball, walks up the Big Brother steps at 10pm and into the house on the live show.

The ticket holders include Tim Slessor, 28, an audio visual editor from London who found the very first golden ticket and was persuaded into registering by his colleagues.

Also on the list is professional gambler and journalist Ed Murray, 28, whose association with the show goes back to BB5 when he won £26,000 on Nadia winning which cleared his student debts.

Su Lindsey, 50, who describes herself as an older, "better looking" version of Lea, would be Big Brother's oldest ever contestant if she is chosen.

Her ticket was bought on eBay by her exasperated husband, who was fed up with the number of Kit Kats she was buying.

Also in possession of a ticket is former Internet stripper Matt Oakes, 22, from Coventry, a barman who says he is a virgin.

Mohammed 'Nad' Butt, a 25-year-old London-based self-confessed playboy works for a celebrity and glamour model photo agency and says he would sign Lea to the agency if he got picked.

Another potential housemate, Sue Carter, 34, found her Golden Ticket after buying 13,000 Kit Kats in a radio promotion.

Philip Colaco, 21, from Dundee, Deby Dakers, 25, from Norwich, and unemployed Martyn Hilliard, 23, from Market Harborough, are amongst several of the hopefuls who bought their tickets on eBay.

Journalist Rachel Richardson, 27, at the News of the World also has a ticket in a bid to get an inside take on the show.

Sales of the chocolate bars doubled following the launch of the promotion on May 18, and the Midlands became the most successful region for finding Golden Tickets, with 13 winners.

In total, 58 Golden Tickets were claimed, but two people have not entered the competition - a student who has to complete his A-Levels, and an eight-year-old boy who found a golden ticket in his Kit Kat, and whose parents have framed it on his bedroom wall.

A further two, another national newspaper journalist and a civil engineer, had to drop out at the last minute.

Some 42 tickets were either lost or have not been found within the time frame, and other ticket holders did not pass the background checks, while people also called the claims line to say their washing machines had destroyed their tickets or their pets had eaten them.

A Big Brother spokesman said: "We are delighted that 35 Golden Ticket holders will have a chance of entering the Big Brother house tonight. The response to the competition has been incredible and we have been amazed that so many people are able to drop everything to become a housemate."

I hope the ones that bought them off ebay dont get in I really do, this is not about money, it's about luck imo, so I'm rooting for anyone who got their ticket by just buying the odd kit kat here and there.

I hope it's not another bitchy bimbo type with the intelligence of a rat.

Rat's are clever mate, I think you mean personality
