Yeah, Naja! It is fun, especially since Dirk Benedict is on it! He sure was dreamy in his day...still is, actually.

I'm so over the Will/Janelle speculation and arguing and I'm finding this to be a fine distraction!

there is something wierd about Dirk. He is very self involved and also disconnected from the house. Strange strange guy.

I am downloading tonights show so will be watching it in a few and very excited to watch it.

Naja have you seen it?> I saw on digital spy how jade spent the day crying and in and out of the diary room. Did you see any of this on the daily show?

Maris, yes, I watched 16b. It doesn't contain anything that happened today...It's Noms, that artwork stuff they did and some other small stuff.

btw, it also contained Jade trying to explain to Big Brother why she called Shilpa "Shilpa Poppadum". What a lame excuse she has.

did you read the letter from Danielles family explaining away everything she said? what a bunch of losers. There is nothing they can do to fix this mess they created for themselves.

Yes, I read it. Danielle didn't do herself any favors this show either even after her apologies. I don't think she "got" Big Brother's hints at all. Wait til you see Jo's diary room. She feels she has no part in this all and is just a bystander. I hope she gets a really good montage of all her Shilpa remarks when she leaves.

Hi everyone, I don't see the show as well, but I've been reading the articles and watching the clips. I was wondering, did Jade do this before? Wasn't she in another reality show or something? She seems completely jealous of Shilpa and I don't understand why there isn't more of people taking up for Shilpa. Do the other HM seem to thinks it's the both of them? With my limited view, it really doesn't seem that Shilpa has done much but attempt to defend herself against irrational behavior. Also, I never heard the word poppudum before, but the definition posted above points to it being racist to me. I saw the rant clip posted above and it's so over-the-top, other than being jealous, I can't think of any reason she'd have to have this attitude about Shilpa; I hope that Jade gets evicted next, then I'd like to see what she says about the people outside of the house's reactions.

I agree, Jo is a huge instigator. She says one thing and I recall she was way out there on the chicken episode.

What pissed me off over the toilet episode is th Shilpa asked Cleo, Jermaine, Dirk and Ian if she should throw the stew down the toile then she told Jade, Danielle, Joe and jack that she was going to do it and nobody said anything till after she did it, then Jo piped up to Jade, that the bones would get caught.

They are all just nasty and none of them are less guilty than the others. They egged Jade on and contributed to her outbursts. They are nasty people and I cant wait to watch them when they are evicted.

The only one I admire in that house is Jermaine (who'd have thought it).

Hi everyone, this is my first exposure to BB outside the US version. Could someone help me out...are there good websites that have video clips like we have for US BB's here at TVCH? Daily updates would also help to catch up. I much appreciate anyone's help.

I've been reading the viewer comments and the consensus seems to be in support of Shilpa, and the embarrassment of a lot of Brits about Jade, Jo and Danielle.

The comments are SO similar to our posts about our BB.

Hi Paige, I did not watch Big Brother back when Jade was on in another season, but from what I am reading, she did exactly what she is doing to Shilpa to other people in her first season and on another reality show that I forget the name. They said she was the most hated houseguest. But the people forgave her, she ran with it, and became a millionaire with her post BB endeavors. I think she just threw it all away.

Snogrl, here is a site you can keep up with news/updates

http://bigbrother.digitalspy.co.uk/news/

and the daily shows (and there are several TV shows/day in the UK devoted to BB) are downloadable via torrents and/or Usenet.

(which I'm no expert on, so I'll not give advice on that!)

Snogrl, go to You Tube and search 'Shilpa Jade fight' - the clip is there, but your ears might bleed! LOL!!

It will lead you to other clips from BBUK. That's how I got hooked!

Beware though, we may never see you again once you go to the black hole known as You Tube!

After seeing the UK version, my wish for BB8 is that they will go back to basics with 12 unknown strangers, and incorporate some of the UK production.

Probably will never happen, but it is still my wish!

Can't wait for the eviction tomorrow..just think, it's less than 6 months till the next US BB! Boy, do I need a life....

I'd have to agree with Dirk, based on the little bit that I've seen!

the international versions are more of the original, "traditional" BB formats, and in the opinion of many, much better events. BB is a huge presence in the house, sometimes quite adversarial, there are weeklong tasks, HM nominate but the public votes out. the HM are kept much more strictly in line by BB. there are daily shows instead of just several times weekly. the US version is a completely different dynamic with the HOH nominating and the HM voting out. here is some factoids, and of course following links could keep you busy for hours. I'm just saying...

There are two reasons I love CBBUK so much.

1. It's only 20-something days long, so even if you do become totally engrossed, it's not like it takes 3 or 4 months of your life..LOL

2. It's in January, when you are home on the cold evenings anyway. I don't know about where you all are, but here, we woke up to -2 c yesterday, and you don't go out unless you have to in that.

Bourque, I've always wondered why our BB1 was thought to be boring. It is still my favorite season, and I hate how the current producers have completely lost sight of the original concept.

Week long competitions, and more involvement from the viewers is what made it so interesting, IMO.

Hi Naja, if Jade then has done this before, then it's not an isolated incident and perhaps thought she would get away with it again; I doesn't seem that she realized what her hating on Shilpa would do. I think you may be right about her throwing everything she worked for, away. This may be a huge wake-up call for her.

There's an article at bbdigalspy on Jade's thoughts of that word she called Shilpa. Maybe this is why she was crying all day, she realizes what she's done, or maybe she herself feels attacked.

Here's the short article:

http://bigbrother.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds11689.html

Jade: "Shilpa Poppadom" wasn't racist
Day 16, 19:08 UTC - by James Welsh

Warning: This article contains language and/or sexual references that younger readers are advised to avoid.

Jade has told Big Brother that appending "poppadom" to Shilpa's name was not intended as a racist comment.

In scenes to be transmitted tonight on Channel 4, Jade was called to the diary room and asked about a conversation with Danielle in which she called Shilpa 'Shilpa f***awhiler' and 'Shilpa Poppadom'.

"Shilpa Poppadom," Jade reiterated when confronted. "I explained that for the other two trying to get her name out. Her name is not Shilpa Harry or Shilpa Tweed or Shilpa Mackintosh, she is Indian, so will have an Indian name. No racial anything.

"She is Indian, thinking of an Indian name and only thing I could think of was Indian food. Wasn't racial at all. It was not to offend any Indian out there."


Also,

In the updates is says that Jade seemed to try and mend fences with Shilpa. I wonder how much of the controversy outside of the house they actually know about, or if BB stepped in and intervened to bring about this change, both with Jade trying to make up with Shilpa and Shilpa retracting her belief that what Jade said was racist.

http://bigbrother.digitalspy.co.uk/liveupdates/

Day 16, 20:07: Jade is still talking to Shilpa nowhere. She told the Bollywood actress: "I don't really want the awkardness any more. It's an awkward situation and I don't like it. I'm not spiteful and I'm not on purposely nasty.

Day 16, 19:50: Jade and Shilpa are engaged in a long-winded discussion nowhere after Jade was called to the diary room to be spoken to about her behaviour towards Shilpa.

The thing about it Paige, is Jade nor Danielle made any effort to apologize until their actions were brought to their attention by Big brother. It wasn't until Big Brother called them on their actions that they thought they should try to mend things. I think then and only then the wheels may have started spinning about what the public may be thinking and they have to fix it. I think Jade is full of bologna in her apology that they showed tonight on Big Mouth show.

I'm so hoping that the fallout is covered adequately so us "Yanks" can follow it ... think about it. Those girls are living in a microcosym and think they are HUGE fish in that BB pond right now, and the worst that can happen to them is getting voted out of a gameshow. Can you imagine the ramifications they'll be facing when they come out ... Tony Blair has commented on the situation. Jade and Danielle have both lost positions and jobs (and money) already because of their actions, even before they've come out of the house. More than 25,000 people have exerted enough energy to call or write condemning their actions. It may take them YEARS to live down, both personally and professionally, the consequences (one of my FAV themes, ya know) of a brief 2-week period of foul mouth, selfish, self indulgence that they giggled, and smirked, and teamed up against someone together. they are feeling high and mighty in their crudeness today. But the fall will be brutal.

and I wanna enjoy it.

Agreed, Bourque, waiting for the 'comeuppance'!
