Next: Mohammed. From Somalia. Says people think he's a terrorist because of his looks. Seems ok. Bit laddish.

Next in: Rebecca, 21, nursery nurse. Talks a hundred miles an hour. She's either going to turn out to be nice or be voted off early. Remind me of the Welsh girl from last year who wore the dressing gown all the time.

Isn't she?! Laura was the one I was trying to think of.

Back from adverts.

Next in: Darnell, 26, Songwriter. Albino (seriously). Or maybe not seriously, he has dark eyes. Has been in trouble but doesn't want it. I think he's the American guy who was deported.

Not sure how he's going to get on with the outside tasks as I should think he can't stay in the sun for long.

Thanks for the links, I finally got the stream to work for me, bit late, but I can still see some of it. Very cool. The only US contestant I'm aware that got the boot was from Season 2, unless it happened before they went in, or I just don't remember. I can't imagine the S2 guy going on, a knife was involved.

Next: Jennifer, 22, part time model. Has a baby, says she feels old as she's always had commitments. Yorkshire lass by the sound of it. I might have missed it but sounds like she's vegan.

Last one: Kathreya (might have spelt that wrong). From Thailand. Masseuse. A little crazy. Might be hard work. What IS she wearing?!?!

No one from BB US.

All in now. Davina's been saying the pretend couple of Mario and Stephanie aren't very convincing, with Stephanie looking shell shocked and Mario going over the top.

It seems like there are lots of women, although there's an equal number of guys. Only even vaguely older woman is Lisa, the one who is part of the real couple. Men seem more spread out in age and more mature.

That good looking guy is ... good looking.

Davina's just said they are going to marry Mario and Stephanie on Sunday!!! It won't be real but they won't know that. Ooooo evil!!

That's all folks!

I guess it's over, thanks for the bios Kitt. I wonder DCB11 is going to do this each eviction night. Anyone see a fav?

Stormie, he said he was going to do it for each live show and summary show. It was ok for me up to about 200 people, then it got choppy. Even if it's just a one-off in terms of useability, it was really nice not to have to wait for once!

Yeah, that link's different to the one I watched. The more there are the better each one is so that's good! I don't know if it's legal though, I would guess it wasn't, and Ch4 might get after him and shut it down before too long.

Flagg, that's the people from a kind of comedy sketch show doing a special with ex-housemates. I think he said that'll be on youtube later too. I turned off the stream because it was so choppy.

There's a Big Mouth too tonight, don't know if it will be streamed but it's bound to be on youtube tomorrow. Then the next new thing is BBLB tomorrow night.

Yah, I saw Zack on the panel, I don't know what show that is or was, someone said Friday Night Project, but I'm not sure.

Yup, mine was choppy too, but better than nothing until I can see the YTs. I hope they don't pull the plug, I am even looking for BBAUS on YT, but I haven't found it yet.

Justa, I tried this website:

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/big-brother-9-uk-channel-4-show

However, it turned into the dotcomboy11 website and there's nothing showing. Do we have to watch @ the time the show is actually on? Are you guys from the UK or the US? I tried downloading Channel 4 once and was told it couldn't be watched from the US. How can I find tonight's show? If the show is on @ 10:00 PM UK time and I'm CT in the US would that mean I'd see it live @ 4:00 PM my time?

Thanks.

Both of the streaming links are hosted by DCB11. The first one aired the launch show live from the UK. The second link is supposed to be the live stream, but it hasn't come up yet.

There are also some YTers that may be putting it up, but I haven't seen them yet; someone will probably post it though. Here are a few.

Cricket, the youtubes of the live shows (launch, evictions) and daily shows (highlights) usually appear from about this time in the evening onwards. Dotcomboy11 (see Stormie's link above) has the first two parts up so the poor lad is still up and posting for us! And on a school night too!

I read Channel4 cancelled their internet feeds, as they weren't very popular. If that's actually true, then that live-stream feed dotcomboy has probably refers to the live feeds that are shown on the tv channels Ch4 or E4. The times of those vary by night, but tonight, as it's launch night, they're on from about 4.15pm to 10pm board time. Usually they're on for a few hours here and there, any time from about 3pm to 10pm board time. Perhaps he's having difficulty with them.

Thanks so much Stormie and Kitt. I also read the internet feeds were cancelled and many seem upset by it. I was actually thinking of getting these feeds to see how the UK version was different from the US version.

I'm watching the Youtubes now, thanks to xx200xx. I guess I'll just have to be patient and wait a few hours after the show airs. I've tried all the streams and will try to figure out when the show is on CT in the US. Perhaps if I hit the streams exactly when the show is airing it will work.

I don't know why Channel 4 won't let the US see their shows. From what I can tell, the UK can see our shows, but I'm not sure.

I like the first couple and hope they can keep their relationship a secret.

ETA: Mario just introduced Lisa to Luke as his girlfriend. I thought I read they were to keep their relationship on the QT. I must have read wrong.

Interesting. Darnell is a black albino. That might be why he has dark eyes. He says he's tired of being the only white one at the family reunions, lol.

So far I like all of them pretty much. These people are much better than the ones I saw in the audition videos. I'd say my least two favs might be Alexandra and Rebecca.

They didn't know until there were four in the house - Mario, Lisa, Luke and Stephanie - that they had to keep that secret, so that's why Mario told Luke Lisa was his girlfriend, not Stephanie. Luke knows the secret as well as Mario, Lisa and Steph. I don't see it lasting long, from the little I saw of Stephanie she didn't seem like she had enough patience to keep up the charade.

Nope, the UK can't see the US shows, at least not on the usual websites - ABC, NBC etc. I haven't tried hulu.com yet. Many people download them from filesharing sites though.

Thanks, Kitt. I didn't realize that. That's weird. Can Australia see the US BB?

After watching more youtubes, I realized they couldn't tell after the 4 were in the house. I was laughing every time BB said something more re the 'fake' relationship. I don't think Lisa is going to like it much. Also, I'm not sure she's going to go for them getting married. I hope she realizes it is BB afterall.

They did get to watch this past season of Big Brother as it was played on ITV I believe 9saw some commercials for it at the end of my Coronation downloads). But I don't know if the US live stream would work for them. It works in Canada so I should see why not.

I am very interested to see how it all plays out. I think most of the housemates are interesting characters..Mario is way overplaying it, and Stephanie is way underplaying it. I think Steph feels that if the four go up one of the others will go not her.

I am loving it...so nice to see Davina back..and in her trademark black..but what was up with the sleeves falling down...

Yeah, I think anything where you are purchasing live streams would work anywhere you're willing to pay for it, but not the free live BB from tv or the tv shows. So UK or Aus people could pay for the US feeds and watch them. As Kellee mentions, a lot of the US shows are broadcast very soon on British tv after their US broadcasts, so then they see them anyway.

Kellee, I really didn't like Stephanie, she seemed very full of herself and what you say makes sense. And I bet she so wants to be free to go after Mr Hunky guy. I'm really looking forward to seeing this play out. I love it when they mess with their heads!
