Sorry mod...I figured if the HMs themselves were calling him that word it was okay to do it here, lol....I apologize.

I don't even know if I CAN get into the feeds for UK, Clio....I'm finding it so hard this year for some reason to keep up with both shows. I have Daily 4 for UK to watch and I'm STILL in the middle of Daily 27 for AUS. :-( I need speed eyes or something so I can watch stuff really fast, lol.

I was wondering one thing - what exactly are swear words in the UK? They seem to be a completely different set of standards for either Brit TV in general - or for Channel 4 - than what we have in North America.

I spent some time in the UK some 25 years ago and I couldn't believe the amount of usage of the 'f' word. Is it possible that its over-usage has made it a rather mundane word? I bet it is, and simply doesn't carry the meaning nor the offensiveness as it does over here.

The funniest part so far of BB UK this year for me has not neccesarily been the diverse personalities (holy cow! where did they find these people?) but has been how they pick apart the way the other HM's speak with regional dialects and whatnot.

They all sound funny to me (obviously).

They should allow the Welsh people to speak to each other in Welsh. It's like Legolas speaking to Arwen or something. (LOL - I know that is a horrible comparison but still - 10%? maybe).

My real life friend from Jersey who made casting call for BB UK on the mainland is NOT in the house. Nor has he returned to Jersey. His mother, girlfriend, and a mutual internet friend have not heard from him in 3 weeks. We figure he has been passed out in a pub somewhere for quite some time. I would die laughing if he crops up as an intruder - or even if he makes it home alive lol - he's lost his job already!!!

"I need botted Watah!!!!" ROFL - sorry hon, but I've travelled 18+ countries and 46 states in the U.S. and I've been in 6 provinces in Mexico - drinking tap water in every one... I lived. LOL!!! There might be a slight generation gap problem going on here.

All in all - a very entertaining start to BBUK.

BBUK4 had a bathtub...that's where first evictee Anouska spent about half of her week in the house, LOL.

At least she got some extra air time that year...wow it has been three years...when she was a guest in the BBAU house.

Come to think of it BBUK2 had a bathtub...a big one...as those visions of Bath Night with Helen, Amma, and Elizabeth in together come rushing back.

Show #5

I don't believe what I'm seeing ........... they're not only all getting along, but they are actually CONCERNED about one another's feelings and worried about not offending each other. This is BBUK right?

And now arch-enemies Shebaz and Scarface ....... I mean Sezar are having a cuddle.

It's a sign of the armageddon.

She's the whiniest HM I've ever heard, but for some strange reason I really like Nikki's voice. Maybe cause it's a nice change from Bonn-Uh and Les-leh from last year.

I like "NIH-EE's" voice, I like "NIH-EE's" hair, I like "NIH-EE's" personality, I just like "NIH-EE!"

I really want her to hook up with Scarface, but I don't see that happening.

Um, okay....you guys what's going on???? I just read an article...here I'll put it here so you guys can see it as well.

Psychologists watch TV housemate

Shahbaz's theatrics have included hiding food and crying regularly
Psychologists are monitoring Big Brother 7 contestant Shahbaz Chauhdry after he threatened to kill himself during his time in the house.
The 37-year-old Glaswegian described himself as "a dead man walking" and said the reality television series was to be "his last curtain call".

"I came here to die on this programme," he told concerned housemates.

Broadcaster Channel 4 said the welfare of the 14 participants was "of the utmost importance".

A spokeswoman added that all contestants had been "intensively screened by professionals" before entering the house to ensure they were "strong enough to cope with their experiences".


the rest is here...

Big Brother Suicide Threat -- Charity Expresses Concern

An influential mental health charity has written to Channel 4 to protest at the admittance of vulnerable people into the Big Brother house following contestant Shahbaz Choudhary's threat to kill himself.

Dr Andrew McCulloch, the chief executive Mental Health Foundation - which helps people survive, recover from and prevent mental health problems - has today written to Channel 4 director of television programming, Kevin Lygo, outlining in the strongest terms the charity's opposition to the treatment of mental health issues on Big Brother.

Dr McCulloch believes the reality TV show is reinforcing negative stereotypes of people with mental illness, feeding discrimination and making sufferers a "laughing stock" while having little regard for the health of the contestants.

The foundation has received emails and telephone calls from members of the public concerned about Choudhary's well-being, after his bizarre behaviour and when he told housemates: "I'm a dead man walking. I came to die on this programme, I'm going to prove it." ,1781434,00.html,link

Okay this is getting out of hand, they need to automatically remove Shahbaz for those statements, not monitor him. What if he did harm to himself or any one of his fellow HMs before BB could get to him to stop him? Sometimes people are shocked/stunned to see what's going on and they can't react fast enough....this is putting the other HMs at risk. I honestly don't think it's him being theatrical anymore....those are bold statements to be made by ANYONE.

Well thank goodness! But it is unfortunate that he had to leave under those circumstances. I felt bad for him on Sunday when Richard made him "dissapear" but he was becoming too much of a distraction to make the show enjoyable.

Shabaz brought great viewing. That is what they wanted all along, with all these wild different personalities.

So Glyn and Bonnie will pick it up now right? Of course not, they bullshitted their auditions like no other. They are the Vanessa of last year, get them out. And George too, I like the contrast of normal people vs freaks this year, but my god, they might even beat out Ashley from AU as bland as can be.

it looks like Glyn and Bonnie are going to be up at least (they've been making people safe all week, and tomorrow is the last day that the safe ones can add to that list.. the official site is saying 3 people will be up- the big thing for the vunerable ones is they're not going ot get their luggage if they're not made safe tommorrow, even if they survive the eviction)...Bonnie in particular is worried about being evicted (and she should be, at least in the house....the safe ones took a vote in private to decide, if it's their decision, who to put up-everyone voted for 3 of the remaining vunerable 5 to save-Bonnie got one vote, Nikki got 7-most likely because the safe ones just don't want to deal with a whining Nikki if she doesn't get her luggage. So she's likely safe even if they have to put 3 up for eviction- Glyn got 4, and Dawn and Imogen got 5 each)...Dawn even volunteered to leave voluntarily, but the others talked her out of it, saying BB would go ahead with the eviction anyway (and no word on when/if they'll replace Shabazz)

I actually wouldn't be unhappy with Dawn leaving....something about her just rubs me the WRONG way.

That's probably WHY she rubs me the wrong way, lol, and there's something about her eyes....I dunno, she looks like she could take your head off in one swoop. I honestly wouldn't be unhappy with any of those three leaving at all.

ooh...the Digital Spy forums say that the Wednesday night show sheds a lot of light on the Shabazz situation (the last 24 hours or so before he left)...it doesn't put most of the others in a good light, because they went WAY over the line..."uncomfortable viewing" is what they called it..

Wilson I just went there, did you see the thread that said Dawn just left? Apparently she kissed all the HMs goodbye and went into the DR, the poster said she's gone. What a week!

I'm honestly apprehensive about watching the next show.....I KNOW that I'm going to feel sorry for Shahbaz 'cause I honestly already do with the way they were talking to him and how he was sitting off on his own. I'll agree that he's annoying and I couldn't live with him, but there's no need to ostracize him like he's not even human.

Now I'm going to wonder what will happen first...all the UK HG's being replaced or the Austrailian HM's busting their prize fund...


The thing with the Wednesday show is that practically all of the other HG's basically bullied Shabazz really badly, and they had no choice but to remove him...

and to think, it's only SIX DAYS in....that "golden ticket" winner may just say forget it...

I'm in the middle of watching last night's daily and I can barely make it through it because I just can't stand to see someone alone like that while a bunch of people just go around him as if he's not there.

I can't stand bullying. I don't care how annoying the person can be.

Dawn is back saying BB won't let her go! It must be because the voting has already started.

I thought so...Dawn hasn't left yet, BB won't let her leave yet (they said they couldn't get everything set for her leaving tonight before)...and the other HG's trashed her as soon as they thought she left, of course...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't... OMG her name has completely escaped me....the blonde last year, I think her name started with an O....I can't believe I can't remember it! Didn't she leave when she was nom'd, or did she go the morning after she survived the vote? I can't remember now....all I know is that's when they brought Kinga in.
