What the expert says...
First twist sees Red and Blue sides to the house
Housemates were ordered to choose their own sides in the Big Brother house on night one with Red or Blue teams the ones to choose from.
The final headcount saw 11 on the red team with 5 on the blues ending with Big Brother revealing that one side would be classed as housemates and the other non-housemates.
Two cards dropped down revealing the the smaller blue team were housemates and the 11-person reds would have to be "sent to storage" to live there.
Big Brother also revealed that all non-housemates would face the first eviction of the series which is expected on Friday.
