The 4 doing the task are nominated.

Right now on the feeds there's an interesting conversation with Darnell, Mikey and Kat, mostly about Mikey and Darnell's disabilities. But they are very heavy handed with the cut button so its a bit hard to follow. They aren't talking about or naming any other people so I don't see what the problem is.

At one point they were discussing how Darnell had trouble getting girlfriends or having a serious relationship because of the fear that they would have "albino babies". Then he said "it's not genetic", but I don't think quite understands the genetics of it. He meant his children probably wouldn't have it, but it most definitely IS genetic. Albinism is a simple recessive so his kids won't have it unless his wife/girlfriend is a carrier of the gene, meaning she would have albinism in her family history. Any of Darnell's offspring most definitely WILL be carriers.

I just wish they wouldn't be cutting it so much, or else go to a different room where they don;t have to cut it.

I read through the Digital Spy updates yesterday and they were talking about Alexandra and Sylvia "bullying" Michael and being mean to someone else. It wasn't really clear what had happened or what the bullying consisted of. I don't know if they're the ones upsetting Darnell.

I'd like to hear more from Darnell, he seems to have had some interesting experiences that have changed him as a person.

Watching yesterday's highlights show. I really do not like Alexandra. She seems a bit like a Charley lite.

Stentionhaus has that and Diary Room uncut up.

Sylvia and Alexandra totally freaked out at after the stag party, Mikey , dressed in a bunny suit in the bathtub, found a thong and put it on over the suit. Apparently it was Sylvia's and she and Alex both blew up at him.

Alexandra is worse than Charlie, at least Charlie could have a laugh and was happy some of the time. <77>

Sylvia had a little more reason to be mad, they were her knickers, but she did leave them in the bathroom. Alex just seemed like she wanted to shout at someone. There was a second incidence yesterday when she made one of the other girls cry. I think she'll be out soon, assuming the hms get to nominate next week. I think the others will be nicer without her.

There seems to be quite a bit of talk about tension under the surface, but I haven't seen much of any arguing apart from around her. I will have to catch up on some BBLBs and BBBMs, they usually give a bit more background.

This "persistence" task sounds like something we'd do for an endurance HOH.....I do wonder what the prize is for the two winners though...

Yeah, it's odd to have an endurance task when they know there's no chance of eviction this week. It lasted an hour and a half though, so not too bad.

So far I like Mohammed a lot, and at least one of the Jennifer Love Hewitt lookalikes - but I'm not sure which is which yet!

Mario is annoying me by treating Mikey like a child. Out of the four up for eviction I'd like him to go. I felt sorry for Steph during the task, and I'd like to see what she's like out of the task before she goes.

So, as winners of the persistence task Dennis and Rachel have been given a picnic hamper in the garden. For some reason they think if they eat anything from the basket they will have failed the task, so they're just watching the hamper and not eating!! They've just come in from the garden and are in the diary room. I wonder if they are right - if not BB must be laughing that they are already so paranoid.

The picnic task was just a prize - they were meant to enjoy themselves! They also thought they heard a crowd outside and Davina talking, and were expecting an eviction or more housemates. That was wrong too. Paranoia seems to have struck them early!

It's no wonder they're all paranoid, with <77> Alex in the house. Can you believe her on the daily show tonight? I think we know who's going to be nominated every week until she's gone.

Wow, she is aggressive. It seemed like Big Brother tried to give her a chance to explain how she was in that diary room visit, but it didn't help. It's sad they have to live with her for another week and a bit (at least). I thought after Charley last year they would have skipped having someone with that sort of personality this year. At least Big Brother are warning her about her behaviour.

My guess is Mario will be gone on Friday. Either him or Steph. But hopefully Mario!

The shopping task this week was a real "shock" to the HM's-literally....they failed it, so they'll be complaining about food all next week too...

I wonder how much the shocks hurt. I've had some really bad static shocks that hurt up your arm for ages afterwards - this does sound a bit cruel. They probably tested it once or twice on someone who said it wasn't too bad and then went for it.

It was good to see a few people stand upto Alex in the daily show today, including Big Brother. Even Sylvia appears to be getting tired of Alex's outbursts.

If this woman doesn't learn to cope a bit better I foresee it coming to violence before too long.

And Dennis, what a paranoid fool. Big Brother gives them a prize and tells them to eat and he thinks its some conspiracy and creates a task out of it. Not too bright that one.

Alex is one of the biggest hypocrites I have ever seen..on big brother..or anywhere else for that matter..she keeps contradicting herslf ..it is unbelievable hat she does...and she won't let anyone elses opinion count for anything not even big brothers...i am also soooooooooooo tired of the phrase "I am not trying to be funny but..."..I just hope it does not take as long as it took to get Charley out..

Are the BB UK 9 shows being sent to Usenet newsgroups? I'm having a devil of a time finding anything other than Davina pre-show interviews and Live Feed postings out there.

What is the best way to get BB UK shows this year? Am I using the wrong criteria to search for them?

What's the secret?

Thank you ahead of time for your advice...

I think most of us get them from youtube. Several people there post episodes (of course they're cut up into 10 minute sections) but I tend to use stentionhaus:
http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=stentionhaus

He posts some old shows too, so don't get confused by the BB "Panto" shows he's posted. If you look upthread some others have posted where they get their shows from too, but I seem to remember them all being youtube.

If you want to catch up quickly, dotcomboy11 has a playlist which is easier to navigate that stentionhaus':
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=FDCAA2808D85CDF0
so I'd start there. Have fun.

Kellee, ita. She accuses people of attacking her when she starts every argument. She even accused them of swearing at her with the words she used to swear at them. It's like something hugely traumatic happened to her at some time in her life and now she thinks everything is something she has to protect herself from. And she's so serious about it, I can't see her changing. If she makes it to that second eviction without being kicked out by BB I'll be surprised.

All UK shows are showing up on Usenet, much higher quality than Youtube =). Somebody seems to be posting most of the live feeds as well, but I haven't downloaded any of that as I am using streamtvnow for the live feed.

alt.binaries.tv.big-brother just like always.

Are you having trouble finding them on Usenet? They're probably just buried under all the live feed postings for Au and UK.
If you are using an indexing site to find them, I imagine they are just very slow to add them as there is such a large volume of BB postings every day. Easiest to find them quick by checking the headers direct from the group.


sample filename for a daily show...

Big.Brother.UK.S09.D006b.Daily.XviD.PDTV.[ramp]

It looks like the headers all start with "BB9UK"

I can't help laughing at the excellent task on today';s daily show. Hilarious.

Or course within 10 minutes we have people claiming they were messing up on purpose.

I guess I'm sadistic but the more they cried the more I laughed at it.

You're mean, Flagg! How could you not feel sorry for poor Kat!?! What a task.

I like how Rex is standing up to Alex. I'm thinking Darnell is on the edge of an argument, the poor guy seems like he's had enough. I'm so ready for Alex to go so that we can see some other relationships develop.

I am thinking of not watching till Alex goes..i can not stand the way she behaves...i darn well hope she will not touch anyone elses things ever in the house..i so wanted them to win the luxury budget and them tell her she gets 1 pound per day and that the rest of her money will go towards tokens and that she will only get to eat what she buys..and nothing else..

Tomorrow is eviction night isn't it? Since Alex isn't up, I think it will be Stephanie, but that's a wild guess. I have already slowed down watching bc I don't want to invest any more time in shows that allow bullying. I'm tired of the 'who's the meanest one of all' mentality in any show across the board. If I want to see mean, I'll turn on the news. I do, though, want to watch when Davina is hosting; love her new dew.

I miss Dermot :-(

I wonder what Alex showed in the auditions that made them think she would add something to the show, particularly as Charley was so disliked last season. Bad selection. I don't like Mario at all, but at least when he's arguing you don't feel there's that tension under the surface for fear of what will happen next.

I miss Dermot too. Those two new hosts make BBLB seem a lot like BBBM, and the nice thing about BBLB used to be how kind of sweet it was - nice questions to friends and family, silly scenes. I quite like the hosts, but it's just not the same.

Yep, tomorrow is the eviction, 1pm board time. I might try to watch the stream at dotcomboy's site.

It's not just that she argues and yells at everyone, but when she isn't arguing, she has a sneer on her face all the time. She seems to hate everyone and everything. She never seems happy, its always the sour looks <93>

The BBLB hosts,,, the chick is awful, she screws up every time she has to speak. The guy isn't bad.
