Housemate
BB9 hits screens on Thursday....


Sunday 01st Jun 2008


The upcoming new series of Big Brother will feature a blind contestant, according to reports.
The ninth series of the hit Channel 4 reality TV show begins on Thursday, and producers have gone out of their way to make the programme suitable for the new contestant.
A source tells The People, “BB is ready to take a blind person into the house.
"Everything possible has been done to make sure the person settles in and is not sidelined. The house has been designed in an accessible way.
"Bosses plan to do everything in their power to make sure the person's stay is comfortable and enjoyable."
Spokeswoman for RNIB Ciara Smyth welcomed the report, saying, "I think having somebody blind or partially sighted on Big Brother could be really positive in terms of changing people's attitudes to blindness."

How is that gonna' work, theirs a high chance they'll get voted out early, like how are they gonna' really community with the environment themself, they mightn't be able to even get into the jacuzi

If i was BB i'd say the door is now open, and see what he did.

[Alexicles.]

How would they get to the Diary Room etc? What about when they get evicted, will they have to have liek Davina come down and help them up?

I think it's ridiculous, it will just end up being another Blind versoin of Shilpa Shetty, discrimanation, and things like that will force the poor person out of the house. :@

I really think that is ridiculous if i was blind i wouldnt want to go into the big brother house i mean that is taking reality television abit too far its a stupid idea

[kk.]

i think the reason would be that thy will HAVE to accomodate them. theyll find a way to do it and it may show how nasty people are as they will need help all the time

[JessicaLOL]

if u was blind why the hell wud u go on bb :S

yh lemmie go in bb eventho i cant even see the house lawl!!

I read this in a interview with Davina, I think it would be interesting but also pretty odd. You never know what to expect with Big Brother anymore. The theme this year is 'War & Order' fgs! I personally think it'll be one of the best big brothers to come.

[dirrty]

ppl r so gonna pick on that blind person imo.

ppl r so gonna pick on that blind person imo.

But if you think about it - it'll make people reliese what blind people have to cope with, and it'll change peoples' views imo.
