So here we go... summer has finally arrived with the start of Big Brother 2006.

Let's meet the housemates:

1. Bonnie, 20, Care worker
She says: "I'm good looking"

Crowd opinion: Boo'ed by the crowd outside.

First words on entering the house: ...nothing... hand over her mouth going "oh..." as she looks around.

The Eye reckons: She's this year's Leseasylay.

2. Pete, 24, Rock n Roll Singer (with tourettes)
He says: "I'm perfect Pete"

Crowd opinion: Huge amount of cheering

First words on entering the house: "honey I'm home" (after he'd fell/jumped down the stairs)

The Eye reckons: It's Bubble isn't it?! Absoloute nutter, might win.

3. George, 19, Student
He says: "..." (what did he say?)

Crowd opinion: Cheers from crowd. Boo's from crowd. Mixed reaction.

First words on entering the house: "Hello mate"

The Eye reckons: Posh hooray henry kinda kid, but maybe he'll change, or maybe not. He'll probably walk, when he finds £1/day food budget when they fail a task. He has a fear of "hyper gay men" though which will be good in the BB house...

4. Shabaz, 37, Unemployed from Glasgow.
He says: "Self confessed 'paki-poof'"

Crowd opinion: Cheers but not many. Few boo's.

First words on entering the house: "oh my god, hi" (before he'd entered) "helloooo everyone, well done!" (as he walked through the door). Jumped about like a loon as he lost his glasses.

The Eye reckons: Could be a bit of a wild card in this series. He's last year's Kemal, without the womens clothes on (yet).

5. Lea, 35, Model and Body Artist from Nottingham
She says: she's had her nose, face, eyes, tummy etc etc all done... £35,000 on plastic surgery.

Crowd opinion: Boos. Some cat-whistles, some cheers. More boos.

First words on entering the house: "load of 'orrible sods, bloody booing" (before she entered) "..hello... hello... hi! they're so horrid they boo'd me because they think i've got blonde hair and big tits" (as she entered)

The Eye reckons: She'll have a breakdown, after a massive row. Followed by another, and another. She won't win. She might be first out, seeing as she's already slagged off the public.

6. Imogen, 23, Bar hostess from Wales
says: "I get told a lot I'm pretty and all that, so..."

Crowd opinion: Lots of loud cheering. Cheering died off a bit though. Few boo's.

First words on entering the house: "hi! hi!"

The Eye reckons: Not too sure she'll stay all that long, depends what she brings to the house though.

7. Mikey, 23, Software developer and Model from Liverpool
says: "hates effeminate women" "don't like being around ugly people".

Crowd opinion: Boo's. Lots of them. Few cheers though as people got to see him as he walked past, before the boo's returned.

First words on entering the house: "COME ON! yes!" (before entering) "heeeyy..." (as he entered)

The Eye reckons: He'll probably spend almost as long pruning himself infront of the mirrors as Jay did in BB2004.

8. Dawn, 38, Excercise Scientist
says: "You're born in to misery." doesn't seem to like anything.

Crowd opinion: Cheers, lots of them but a few boo's.

First words on entering the house: "am i pushing this door properly?" (as she had trouble to open the door) "hi ya!!" (as she was welcomed by the housemates)

The Eye reckons: Sounds a bit like Allison from BB2002 (the one that jumped on the table in the garden and broke it). She won't make it beyond about the 6th week, unless she can get the public really behind her by winding up the housemates.

9. Glyn, 18, Lifeguard from Wales.
says: "I've been voted the most sexiest lifeguard in north Wales"

Crowd opinion: Boo's but soon followed by lots of cheers, and then lots more boo's. Walked past the press very quickly.

First words on entering the house: mic was dropped by his side as he ran down the stairs. "ok" (before he entered) "heeeeey..." (as he entered)

The Eye reckons: He could find a fall from a great height whilst in the Big Brother house. He might think he's number 1, but will the viewers agree?

10. Richard, 33, Waiter from Canada
says: "I'm a sexual terrorist"

Crowd opinion: Lots of cheering. some boo's.

First words on entering the house: "my god. oh i hope there's some good looking men in this house" (before he entered the house) "....(laughed) hi..." (Shabaz was going crazy in the background when he saw him)

The Eye reckons: Seems a bit like a canadian version of Josh from Big Brother 2001 crossed with Dan from Big Brother 2004.

11. Grace, 20, Dance Teacher
says: "I've never paid to get in to a club in London ever ever"

Crowd opinion: Lots of cheering as she got out of the car.

First words on entering the house: "helloooo... oh it's a bit scary outside isn't it?"

The Eye reckons: She's going to be annoying. Which could be annoying, or could be just what the house needs. Hard to tell. Might get on well with George though?!

12. Lisa, 27, Upholsterer from Manchester
says: "I'm original, I'm mint, what you see is what you get"

Crowd opinion: Lots of cheering and whistles. Walked past the press a bit quickly.

First words on entering the house: "allo, alrit' 'ow you doin'?"

The Eye reckons: She sounds very loud and like Emma from Big Brother 2004. Seems to talk and talk and talk. Can see she'll end up either having an argument with someone, or causing one to kick off around her.

13. Sezer, 26, Entrepreneur from London
says: "In my eye's I'm a superstar"

Crowd opinion: Boos. More boo's. And some cheers.

First words on entering the house: "yeh boy, rek-og-nise, seizar's palce. game on" (before entering)

The Eye reckons: He may also have a fall from a great height before too long. Seems to be a bit of an Anthony Hutton in mannerisms.

14. Nikki, 24, Model/Promo girl
says: "People listen to me for hours... I go on and on and on" "I'm going to marry a rich man" "I'm man MAD, absoloutely obsessed with men".

Crowd opinion: Boo's as she got out of the car. Cheers and whistles as she walked towards the house.

First words on entering the house: "oh my god, i can't breathe" (as she walked down the stairs) "OooAAArggh" (she screamed, as she entered the house).

The Eye reckons: She seems to be all "me me me". She's also going to find a fall from a great height before very long at all. "Special", but in the wrong way love. If she keeps screaming how she has done so far, you'll have your ears bleeding by the end of the series - but she'll not make it that far.
