Big Brother made its much-anticipated return to Australian screens last night, and despite the hype about a new breed of housemate, the general consensus is that BB12 is only one more Gold Coast model short of being old hat.
…But there was one point of difference new host Sonia Kruger kicked off the opening night with a choreographed dance routine in skin-tight silver trousers. Imagine trying to convince Gretel Killeen to do that!
Once the gang had finished with the opening night ritual of jumping up and down and screaming in each other's faces, Big Brother gave them a few hints about each other's deep dark secrets…
Apparently one of the housemates is a multi-millionaire, one has a genius IQ, and another was a juvenile offender.
Fans are having a field day tossing up theories on Facebook and Twitter. But not all of them have much to do with Big Brother's hints!
"The ginger guy is wearing a wig," is a popular theory among commenters. Housemate Michael harped on for a suspiciously long time about his trademark shaggy red hair, and now Australia is convinced it's fake.
Other popular theories put forward on the interweb include:
"Are they all virgins." "They are all bald." "I think Layla is a man .... or was..."
"They are all bald."
"I think Layla is a man .... or was..."
"Skater girl is a lesbian." "The English girl isn't English." "Michael hasn't had a girlfriend since the age of 11 … coz he likes dudes!" "The nerd is actually a cannabil [sic]." "This season will be a sort of remake of The Hunger Games and every week they fight to the death."
