Well, on Jan 3, we have a new type of Big Brother starting in the UK. It's called "Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack". Celebs will replace "Big Brother" himself from what I understand, but the housemates will be regular people. All I know of it are the adverts I have seen on youtube http://youtube.com/results?search_query=celebrity+hijack&search=Search and this page at BBB with the pics of the new house. http://www.behindbigbrother.com/posts/1571 The only celeb I recognize from the list that will play the big brother role is Joan Rivers. Post an info you guys get

Looks like fun! I like that they are seeking young folks with TALENT & Mensa/brains, not just 'fame wh*res' as they say. Wish BB US would buy a clue.

Hey everyone; thanks for the links Naja I think this will turn out to be a fun show, I also like the idea of young and gifted people, and I think Joan Rivers will be hysterical. Crossing my fingers it all gets posted somewhere. I posted the following link on the other thread, it's specifically for BBUKCH. And I've also found out Dermot will be hosting LB for this, his last at this writing; is X-Factor that good that he should stay there? Oh well, BBUK9 is a ways off, maybe he'll change his mind. Meanwhile, this looks like it will be a fun show. YouTube BB8UK Celebrity Hijack

Last night they aired a sort of pre-show called "Around The World". They even had clips from BBUS. It's in usenet and torrents, and I noticed this person uploaded the whole thing to youtube in 6 parts. youtube

Thanks very much Naja, that link looks like Sentionhouse; I guess he decided to come back for this show. Great news, now there's two people at YTs to check for. I don't much like torrents, so I'm glad I'll be able to watch this. Here's his new main page. Hope everyone is having a great holiday. I also found information on this show @ wikepedia, which has more detals. YouTube Stentionhau BBUKCH Big Brother UK Celebrity Hijack @ Wikipedia

The contestants have been revealed: BB Celeb hijack cast The twelve "young and gifted" Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack contestants have been revealed. The group - due to enter the house tonight at 9pm, live on E4 - comprises seven boys and five girls, all aged 18-21. There is a brother and sister who work together as circus performers, as well as a boxer, a beauty queen, an entrepreneur, a racing driver and a politician. The series, which runs for just over three weeks, features celebrities taking over the role of Big Brother, from answering diary room calls to setting the housemates tasks. Little Britain's Matt Lucas will take the reins on launch night, with future hijackers to include Joan Rivers, Brian Sewell and Jimmy Carr. Three weeks only for the show! First episode will be airing tomorrow so we might be able to see it by late afternoon.

In pieces on Youtube if you want it quick and free, or I expect it will be on torrent sites not long afterwards. We're expecting this guy: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=stentionhaus to post the episodes - he did last year, really quickly and in perfect order. I'm sure someone here will post alternative sources once the season gets going. eta: his downloads that say "Celebrity Big Brother 1" are old (but worth watching if you have time for a Celebrity Season), don't get confused!

I was reading stentionhaus' comments and he said he is not going to be uploading this show, as others are. Did I read wrong? In any event, BB8UK still has the Celebrity Hijack site up and here is the link for it: YouTube BB8UK Celebrity Hijack So far only BB Around The World is up, must be too early. Regarding that show, I noticed they were trying to build up Dick even on this show. <24> In fact if it were some strategic game play to keep his daughter in, then why go after Jen? No one seemed to like her, she was not a threat to stay, and how would his bullying her prevent her from winning tasks? It didn't. Moreover, tasks were keeping his daughter in, I saw nothing helpful in his actions, it simply kept him in. <24> I still hope Jen sues someone for allowing this 44 year old man to treat her this way. I have no intention of watching BB9US. It was great to see how other countries present this show though. I did think it was sweet when the actor in BB Philippines came out, the butterfly, how sweet; a touching moment in BB history, loved it. Thanks very much about the info on Dermot from the other thread, I'm glad he will be there for this show. I did read at DS Davina is probably on holiday with her hubby, so that explains her absence. Good for her, she needs a break, though I do hope she will return for BB9UK. Here's another link someone posted at DS. Looks like you have to sign up, I won't be doing that, but someone else may want to. If you do a search on BB, BB Around The World pops up, perhaps the others will be there as well. TVCatchup - Never Miss A Show Again I'm still hoping Watchtv will add it, but nothing thus far.

I don't know about Stentionhaus, just assumed because of last year! I've been watching the Celebrity season 1 from there, it's short but entertaining enough. I might watch season 2 too, if I can find time!

Skip Stentionhaus and learn how to use usenet. You'll get to see the show a couple hours after it airs.

Well, this is kind of funny I just wish I knew who this celeb was. That would probably have made it more fun.

I don't like the whole download thing, prefer to wait, although unpatiently, for youtube! I think I read the first BB was Matt Lucas. He's from the comedy Little Britain, which was pretty huge over there and also shows on BBC America. I suspect I'm talking to myself here, but if anyone remembers George Dawes, the giant baby in Shooting Stars, that was him too.

I'm not sure who that is Kitt, I only recognize Joan Rivers and the soccer player's names. On Stenhaus' main YT page, under the comments on the bottom right, it shows the following person is also uploading Celebrity Hijack with vid 1 from that page below: YouTube Alucard3050 Celebrity Hijack BBUK Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack UK Launch Show Part 1 of 3 (Alucard3050) BB8UK's Celebrity Hijack vids are not up yet, maybe tomorrow. Also, there's a thread at DS if you want to keep up on what's happening now, and a new page at CH4.

It looks like there are 5 clips of the launch show clip I listed above, rather than 3. Has anyone seen the show yet? How is it so far?

Anyone know if this is being streamed anywhere,like on E4 like they usually do? I couldn't find any "live feed" info on the official site. I'm wondering if it's worth subscribing to StreamTVNow for a month so I can watch the live stream.

interesting opening task...the first one in the house had to follow the celeb's instructions to do crazy things and possibly wreck his first impression on the others...he passed, and it was worth it to him, as he's earned immunity from eviction for the entire series...

I don't know if it will be streamed anywhere, but I'm just watching it now, and they've said all the shows will be on E4 not Ch4. Here's a link to the Radio Times, they'll show when it's on. Radio Times Seems like it will be live nightly. I am so excited about there being lots of interesting people in the house! Although it seems like the hijacking will be fun, I almost want to see a traditional BB so we can watch the housemates interact. Anthony is cute. (Important to get back to basics... )

They keep saying Paula Abdul is one of the upcoming hijackers. I can't wait! It should be an interesting trainwreck. I can only hope for her that her part is totally scripted...LOL Can you imagine her trying to adlib the part of big brother? (btw, I am a Paula fan)
