BIG Brother is back on our screens and the usual freaks and clowns have been delivered by the television producers.
This year's twist is that none of the 16 entrants are actual housemates yet*. The eight men and eight women will have to earn that status during their time in the house.
The house itself has been stripped to a rudimentary level with no kitchen and no bedrooms. The contestants will have to sit on the boxes and crates and sleep on the floor.
The full run-down of the ensemble, as introduced tonight by Davina McCall, is:
Freddie, 23, entrepreneur. A music writer who votes Conservative and believes in the free market and free love. Booed on his way into the house and soon found there were no other rooms.
Lisa, 41, unemployed. Self-assured and convinced she can convert straight girls into sleeping with her. Sporting a mohican haircut, she took an age to get into the house as she milked a generally good reception.
Sophie, 20, model. Blonde socialite-wannabe with 30FF boobs who has modelled nude for Playboy. She wanted to be an air hostess but does not like flying. Does not like sand, spiders or boring people. So she'll be at home on BB then...
Kris, 24, visual merchandiser. Curly-haired guy who fancies himself far too much. His job effectively is to stack shelves neatly. Booed by many on his way into the house, some shrieks from the girls.
Noirin, 25. Irish daughter of a missionary priest, she mixes a highly religious background with exhibitionism on a weekend in clubs, sometimes forgetting to wear knickers. Given a poor reception on the way into the house.
Cairon, 18, student. Wears bright clothes who says he lives by his own rules. Hates back-stabbing, two-faced people. Good luck this summer, then.
Angel, 35, professional boxer. Female athlete who runs her fitness club. She used to be a pop star in her country. Arrived with a top hat and cane and took a long time to enter the house, attracting boos and cat-calls.
Karly, 21, unemployed. Self-confessed 'bitch' who is another one fancying herself a bit too much. Another girl who has posed nude and appeared in FHM as a 'high-street honey'. She would quite like to be a footballer's wife. Another one who was booed into the house.
Marcus, 35, window fitter. He likes action heroes and thinks Wolverine looks like him, not the other way round. He believes he is a trend-setter. Given one of the more favourable receptions.
Beinazir, 28, receptionist. Her father knew the late Pakistan president, Beinazir Bhutto. She disagrees with Muslim girls who cover up and gets annoyed by arrogant men, describing herself as an Alpha female. She loves her jewellery and is taking 149 different pieces into the house.
Sophie, 26, personal banking assistant. Pint-sized banker who suffered from lupus which bloated her and left her with stretch marks. She shrieked excitedly all the way into the house but had the crowd on her side.
Rodrigo, 23, student. A bouncy Brazilian boy who loves the UK because it has given him more opportunity than his homeland. A Christian who goes to church every day but he is unsure of his sexuality. He was given a good reception.
Charlie, 22, job centre advisor. A gay Geordie who is a former Mr Gay Newcastle, undoubtedly a big fan of the Pink Triangle in Times Square. Possibly the quickest ever entrance to the house to a decent reception.
Saffia, 27, dental nurse. She judges others on first impressions and usually perceives them negatively. She has two children, a six-year-old and a young baby from different fathers, neither of whom she is with now. She thinks men are sperm-donors and would consider lesbianism. Not a great reception from the crowd.
Sree, 25, students union president. An Indian and a Hindu who I am sure will get on brilliantly with Pakistani Muslim Benaizir. Went into the house waving an India flag and wearing a groovy Union Jack shirt. He received some boos and some cheers.
Siavash, 23, music event organiser. A hairy, off-the-wall Iranian with a curly moustache. His biggest regret is not having bigger willy and his favourite word is his own name. He arrived in a blue suit and was given quite a hostile reception.
*Immediately after the launch show, Rodrigo and Noirin gained full housemate status. Rodrigo had to shave Noirin's eyebrows and draw glasses and a moustache on her with marker within four minutes. Amid much fuss, this was achieved.
On Sunday, the public will be able to vote for which other contestants they would like to be considered for full housemate status.
