Well, so far one alternative is to have one feed playing in Real Player and one feed in WMP. While Real mutes your whole computer when you hit the mute button, WMP only mutes itself so that will allow you to watch two feeds and only have audtio from one. It's not ideal though. But the problem I'm having is getting a green screen (and it's not the normal BB AUS green screen, I think it has to do with two videos playing at once.)

hmm I haven't had the green screen with both of them opened yet with the exception of the normal Bb AUS green screen. At least we are able to mute WMP...

Hi - I popped over to let you all know that the Channel 4 people seem to have made some kind of mistake and the live feeds are available free at the moment (very annoying for those folks who paid their money already). I'm not sure how long it will last but it's good to see that you've all discovered this already!! I can't make use of this myself as I have a Mac and for some reason it doesn't work with Macs but I get the streaming on my tv (when I'm not at work, gah!) so I still get to watch a lot. The unlucky housemate thing has been brilliant. Makosi is pretty funny, whether or not she is acting or if that's her real personality coming through... She says she is acting the "spoiled brat" and keeps interrupting and talking about herself all the time on purpose. She is picking fights with people and was shown in the Diary Room last night saying that she is doing that deliberately. Her only problem is that there are so many other annoying people she might struggle to get most votes. Last night they were doing their shopping list. They had miscalculated and massively over-spent so they needed to take some stuff off the list. Science (yep, that's his name, he likes to spell it out for people when they look bemused) had requested two things: fish fingers and salad cream. He was very loud and insistent that he could not eat without his salad cream (his best quote of the week so far has been "Yes, I am from the ghetto and yes, I live with my mum"). Makosi had previously wandered off from the shopping list discussion saying she was bored but leapt back into it in time to take the chalkboard to the DR and make the alterations to the list to meet their budget. She was grinning as she walked into the DR as Science shouted behind her "Fish fingers and salad cream". And you knew she would... yep she took off the salad cream. Science went ballistic, shouting and yelling about how he was hungry and how would he be able to eat a sandwich without his salad cream. Others tried to calm him by offering tomato ketchup or mayonnaise but he could not be placated. He was so annoying that Makosi's plan may have backfired - she has probably secured Science's nomination but also gathered quite a few for Science himself from other housemates!!

hmm...Digital Spy says Max has been involved in pre-production of other shows produced by the BB people....it appears he could be a mole planted by the producers...

The "mole" rumour crops up every year. Max has already said that he was one of the reserves for UKBB 2004 and as a reserve and (and the reserve who eventually went into the house mid-run, Becki) took part in a "dry run" of BB to test out some of the tasks in the new house. I very much doubt he is a spy. Having said that, he has got his suspicions about Makosi, guessing yesterday that maybe the public were voting for her to have to do tasks. Speaking of Makosi - the HMs did a painting task yesterday (the less said the better) and afterwards Makosi (as the unlucky 13th HM) was offered the task of cleaning all the aprons in order to win wine for all the housemates. She didn't do it. This morning all hell broke loose over the fact she didn't do it, with Roberto, Max and Ant being very annoyed that she selfishly didn't do it. Makosi went back to the DR and was apparently offered (according to what she has said) another chance to win the alcohol. She had to spell the word EXTRAVAGANZA. She says she succeeded and was offered the choice of wine or.... her favourite drink (she was demanding it was put on the shopping list the other day) Cherry Tango (cherryade). She is saying that she chose the Cherry Tango. This is genius on her part (and BB's!) if it is true. However, she has hinted to Derek that she didn't really choose the cherry Tango. The usual day for nominations is Monday so it's possible she's just having a last attempt to annoy as many people as possible before nominations. However, the general feelign is that nominations are actually happening tomorrow (not sure if that's been confirmed yet) so she might have to try something else tomorrow.

By the way, sorry about the mammoth posts. I don't mean to write the longest posts in the world but they seem to be coming out that way today...

So do understand correctly that BB UK has a black gay guy who wrote speeches for The Iron Lady?! *barf* And that they have a Turkish crossdresser who arrived in a sari and stilletoes? [I can't spell that word apparently]

Tishala - yes, you do understand correctly. And very strangely indeed, Derek (the black gay speech writer) is at the moment one of the people I like the most - though that may tell you more about the other people in the house... The highlights show on tv last night was excellent. Especially because we found out that the whole "apron washing" task was invented by Makosi as a way to get more people annoyed with her so they would nominate her!! So funny. Derek and Kemal knew that she had made it up and Derek played along but it was so so funny. Makosi is great entertainment in the house!

Mary the "white witch" (there is some doubt about how authentic she is in this) had a birthday party yesterday for her 31st birthday. It was Halloween-themed with plastic spiders and costumes. The housemates will be nominating today (Tuesday) and the results will be revealed in a special live tv show tomorrow night. It's very hard to know how it's going to go with so many housemates and with Makosi trying her best. The housemate or housemates with the most nominations are immune from the public vote so this first week of nominations is going to be very interesting.

Ha ha. I must say I agree with Justice (who is actually Science.) For some reason I can't get his name right so I guess I'll just keep calling him Justice. Anyway, I agree with Justice about Derek. How did this guy get in the house? Was he just walking along one day and walked in by mistake???? I'm glad we've finally made it to nomination day so Makosi can stop acting like she's acting and start behaving normally (but why do I think BB won't allow that to happen?)

Oh Clio - I quite like Derek at the moment I must admit! Sorry! I am really looking forward to noms today. And it looks as though Makosi won't be the unlucky 13th housemate next week so maybe a new victim? Or maybe they'll try something different this time?

Britchick Thanks for all the updates. Seems as though they have caught up with us who were getting free feeds. It is no longer possible according to the official site. And I know I cannot get on any longer. Are you still able to get the feeds Clio? What a disappointment for me..it seems like such a good group over there...

Thoughts on day 4 (had more written but lost it...) Mary is supposed to be a witch yet she says a kiddie type Halloween party "represents her essence." That's just weird. I'm no witch expert, but I'd think you're average witch would be insulted by that kind of thing. ......... yeah, she need to go. LOL! Anthony looked like he was 5 in his dracula outfit!

someone has done one of the things BB has said would bring "serious consequences"....one of the gnomes was found "dead" today in the pool with a knife sticking out of his back.....whodunit? or will BB "blame" Makosi or another "unlucky 13"?

The good news: Makosi passed her challenge...She tied for the most noms along with 2 others with four noms each. The bad news (for the others): Since Makosi passed such a difficult challenge, she got a just reward....She decided which 2 were going to be up for eviction (and it didn't have to be her orignal noms)...She picked Mary and Craig, and Mary is the early choice for eviction becaus e of a huge fight a couple of days back.

Once again, had a whole bunch of stuff typed about the show and lost most of it. Oh well. LOL! @ Makosi and Kemal following Mary and Saskatchewan into the living room during their fight. They were both like "doo ta doo ta doo..." YAY!!! For Mak completing her task but my goodness the girl is dense in the DR isn't she. BB had to tell her that she was immune before she actually got it (despite the fact that he had said that she got the most votes a few seconds before.) ........ Maybe she's suffering from Cherry Tango deprivation to the brain. What a great way to reward her though by letting her choose the nominees. .......... YAY!!! She put Mary up!!!!!! If I could vote for her to leave I would!!! Another thing I like about Makosi. It's nice to see someone dressed in real clothes most of the time as opposed to pajamas or sweats. Not that I blame them, I'm in pajamas or sweats most of the time myself. But real clothes are nice to look at.
