I really wish they wouldnt restrict the feeds ro UK only, I'd be willing to pay if only they'd let me. ANyone know how to get one of those temporary use credit cards with a uk address?
This group is a lot more fun to watch than the snorefest at BBAU

I have no idea how to get the card but I totally agree with you.

But then again, if I was able to watch the live feeds from the UK also I'd never leave the house.

What was that the UK lil' bro host said on opening night? "say goodbye to your family, friends and your job, you won't be seeing them for a while......"

You don't need to be from the UK. Just put down all the info, then put down UK in the country box. People have done this for years now.

The last episode of big brother was one of the best ever. I'm just mad that sam/roberto aren't up as I think neither bring something to the show. While Mary is a complete train wreck and Craig will at least mix things up a bit.

I agree, last night's episode was fantastic and really fun! I loved the nomination twist and I was really nervous as they went through the nominations just hoping that Makosi would fulfil her secret mission. Just a shame that Sam got immunity as I would have been happy for her to be up.

I think Makosi's choices for nomination were really unexpected and interesting. I had been warming to Scary Mary but her performance last night, well the whole of yesterday has put me right off her. She sulked all day, lying in bed and saying she wanted to walk out. Now that she has been nommed, she is saying she wants to stay to irritate the people who nommed her (little does she realise how few of them actually did vote for her). And that argument with Saskia! I was furious with Mary for her whole attitude during that. She clearly feels extremely superior and I just cannot understand why she seems to hate Saskia so much - there are much more irritating people in there.

I loved the fact that Mak and Kemal just sat in the corners of the sofa quietly watching! Someone said it was like an episode of Jerry Springer by the end with Saskia shouting and wagging her finger while an ever-growing audience stood around and watched.

I'll vote for Mary for you, Clio! I thought you were in the UK as you're watching the shows - how do you get to see Big Brother's Little Brother and stuff?

I think, if they can stay in there long enough, Makosi and Kemal will go down as one of the great BB buddy-couples of all time! They may even be more fun than Marcellas and Amy!

I can download the shows off of usenet (my last name is of British origin if that makes you feel better, ha ha.)

Some of my buddies from the BB Australia thread have figured out how to download the UK shows via IRC so hopefully more folks will be joining us soon!

Clio raises a glass of Cherry Tango in toast to the potential new comers!

Xx2000xx-

Thanks for the info, I used my real info and address and just left the country set to UK and it seemed to work fine, for now at least, I hope they don't have anyone checking the addresses. I doubt it though, once they've charged my visa.

OK, now that I have the feed finally, a bit disappointed there's only 1 feed, but anyway...

Does the rest of the house know about Mako0si's mission and that she was the one to pick the nominees? nobody seems to be talking much right now...

Kemal knows, she told him last night (I believe the show was live but I may be a day off.)

I've decided there's no way I can watch three feeds (and I really shouldn't be wathing two) at once when BB USA starts so I'm sticking with just watching the Daily Shows and focusing my interest on BB AUS until July. Life's not all about watching BB. I've got to save SOME time to play the Sims for crying out LOUD!!!

And hopefully you will find what we have found with the AUS feeds. Despite only getting one feed, you're actually getting more coverage because there are fewer FOTHs when compared to the US (but we really only get two feeds anyway, they're just shown from two angles a piece.)

I was going to pass on the UK feeds as well but with the Aussies going to bed at 11:00, I was bored and thought the UK feeds would be like they were the first weekend. Alas, they're doing nothing since I got signed up.

The UK feed has no FOTH but they seem to cut the audio VERY frequently.

Speaking of the UK shows, I really like the "Big Mouth" show thats been on a couple times. The host is pretty funny, and I recognize him from somewhere.... Why can't we get a host like that instead of Julie Chen

FOTH= "front of the house" or censorship cutaways from live coverage for those of you outside the US.

Oh Clio, I see! No I think it's great that you can view the shows - the BB experience definitely includes BBLB and Big Mouth as well as the live feeds and eviction shows. Does US BB have daily shows now? When I lived in the US (the 2nd season of BB, with Will and Nicole) there was only one or maybe two shows per week. I love the all-consumingness of it being on every day. I know what I'll be watching each night :-)

This has been a pretty quiet day. Only Kemal knows the truth about Makosi's task and the nominations so the rest of the group are just adjusting to the nomination results and recovering from all the arguments last night!

There are a *lot* of audio cuts. In fact, E4 (the channel that shows the live streaming for about 12 hours a day) have a funny little advert about why they need to cut so often.

Why can't we get a host like that instead of Julie Chen.

Because Julie Chen is now aka Mrs. Head of CBS. She's not going anywhere until she wants to and give up a prime time spot? nope, aint' gonna happen. I think she's good at what she does, she can hold that clicker thing like no other but I wish we had someone funny like Davina or Gretel.

Maybe we could compromise. Maybe when she crosses to the house, Julie could say "Houseguests! This is Julie! PLEASE DO NOT SWEAH!!!"

Thoughts on Day 6..........

What exactly was Dereck crying about? Does he feel Makosi is being unfairly targeted by the others?

"No you're not, you're just sitting in a bin, looking like an idiot!" HA HA HA!!!! I love Justice ........... I mean Science!

"Mary is still in bed........." Hopefully, this time tomorrow, Mary will be sleeping in her OWN bed.

awwww .......... poor Craig

Wait til you see the day 7 daily show, it's up now. Wow it's like nonstop arguments, and Mary is even more of a nasty than ever.

...or maybe we're talking about the same episode.

I haven't had a chance to watch last nights daily show, but I pray to god they showed where Mary had a breakdown and *demanded* to big brother that they shut all the cameras off right now :-) I'm happy that it looks like she will be staying for sure (polls and bookies are favoring her to stay by a big margin now). She is just comedy gold.

-

Mary, incensed at the arguments that have enveloped the house in the early hours of Thursday morning, demanded that Big Brother bosses turn the cameras off.

"This is not good television. It's pushing us to extremes... look what happened last year," she exclaimed while marching around the house looking furious. After demanding access to the Diary Room - access that she was denied because someone was already in there - she marched out into the garden where Science attempted to calm her down.

"They can't turn them off. We're in control, we're responsible," he observed.

Lending a surreal tone to the evening, Max interrupted Mary's rant to point out that she had caused bran flakes to spill onto the floor.

"I don't care. Let them come in and clean it up," she snapped.

The reason why the UK feeds are cut so often is because the stream is on their television too, so they can't have any swearing/nudity. After 9 pm the watershed is over and there will be a lot less cuts.

I'm sorry but I'm going to be voting all day to get Mary out. I really hope she goes. If she doesn't, then she's going to think that hte public love her confrontational, hissy-fit-throwing nonsense and this behaviour will just get worse. She uses "being real" as an excuse to act superior and just plain rude to other housemates and there's no need for it. I don't like her (did you get that? :-) ).

I *loved* Science's quote last night: "No you're not, you're just sitting in a bin looking like an idiot". Hee hee hee.

Also loved Derek's glee in the DR about Makosi not being up for eviction, he was so funny!

Apparently Maxwell has been given a secret task by BB. He went to the DR two days ago to ask for fresh underwear (??? why is it BB's problem if he didn't bring enough or didn't wash his own?). BB has now offered fresh underpants *if* Maxwell can talk to the others without saying "Yes", "No" and without swearing. The swearing thing will be very hard for him I think! He gets 3 chances to fail and he's not allowed to tell the others about his secret mission...

On the live feeds just now, it seems that Derek has guessed something about Makosi's task. There were lots of soundcuts so hard to know exactly what he was saying but Makosi confirmed that it was the first of hte possible scenarios that he was guessing - I think he guessed she was saved from nomination and possibly someone was switched for her nomination place.

And Maxwell failed his secret task so no new pants for him - he thought he'd done it but BB informed him he had said "yeah" 3 times to Vanessa and had sung "no" twice. Maxwell blamed Vanessa as he said it was the first time he had ever spoken to her :-)

Looking at the process by which nominations were made this week, ir's really not fair at all putting that much power in 1 person's hands. On US BB at least people know up front what head of household means and what power they are given. By secretly giving sole nomination power to one person UK BB has made a big mistake I think, and made the rules of the game basically meaningless. Unless of course the person evicted tonight is not really leaving and will be put back in the house at a later time.

Watching the feed before the eviction it's rather obvious who's goine, seeing as the camer never leaves Craig.

the wake up alarm has been going for like a half hour or more and these morons refuse to leave their beds. Its a very loud recording of a cat hissing and screeching.
