Have you guys been reading the leaks about who is going to be on Celebrity BB this year? So far out of all the names thrown out there, the only 2 I recognize are Dirk Benedict (I used to be in love with him when I was a kid), and Kevin Federline. I didn't really recognize the other leaked names. There was even a news article that said David Hasselhoff was approached to be on, but I doubt that would ever happen. Anyway, who knows if any of it is true, but usually some parts of the rumors end up being true. Oh, here's a funny. I read this article and didn't realize it was a joke until I saw the name of the paper...LOL http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s4i12781

http://www.streamtvnow.tv/board/index.php this site allows viewing TV programs worldwide. it is a bit of a set up ... it took me 3 tries, but I'm techno-challenged. and it is a subscription site, approx $16/3 months. but worth it to me ... besides BB there is sports, shows, movies and the occasional surprise. I used it to watch BBUK last year live. It also offered BBAS to the rest of the world live.

Fab, I download the tv shows from usenet in alt.binaries.tv.big-brother when I want them "now", but if I am not in a hurry or am out of usenet bandwidth for the month, I get them using torrents at www.uknova.com (you have to become a member) I think a couple of other private torrent tracker sites keep up with BBUK such as possibly demonoid, but I'm not sure and you'd have to look. I mostly only use demonoid for movies and never looked for BBUK there.

btw Bourque77, that tv site sounds wonderful but can you answer a question I have? Do you have to watch the shows live or are they in an "on demand" situation? I am in the US, and with the time change the foreign BB shows would be hard for me to see live. I know with BB Australia, I would have to be up at 3 or 4 AM to catch the daily shows.

If I may speak for Bourque, that web site allows you to view the live streams ........ not the tv shows ...... at least I don't think so. But I def. know you can view the feeds there because I also used it last year.

ah, there's almost no one I'd rather speak for me! yes, that site is the live streams, or .. the live feeds only. It is not the daily shows, the 1 hour compilations of the day's events. Those show I download from a torrent site. I originally suffered my way through stumbling through how to learn torrents because of the UK BB daily shows. Now I am enamoured of the whole torrent thing, and find that many of my regularly viewed shows I don't even TiVo anymore! I just wait until the next morning and download Heroes, Amazing Race, House, Criminal Minds ... and watch IN HD! right on my computer as I work. Not to mention entire series of shows like Six Feet Under and UK TV series such as Wire in the Blood. Yes ... I actually do spend approx 14 hours/day sitting right here, multi-tasking my way through BB feeds, downloads, paying work, and oh yeah, two other TVs within view of my computer. Now ... If I could only get a brain infusion and really learn how to manuever around. I've never even been in a Janie chat yet! well, I've been silent for months, so I'm rambling, but thought I'd share an off topic website (figure I've spoken about enough on topic stuff to get away with it) ... and anyone who spends as much time as we do on computer will surely benefit... www.giveawayoftheday.com FULL VERSIONS of great s/w available for a 24 hour period, changing daily. okay, see you all in a few days for the celebrity UK ... we'll see how that is...

ok, I see. I was a little confused because in reading their forum, they were all talking about tv shows. and Bourque77, if you are enjoying torrents so much, the next thing you should try is learning to use usenet for your tv shows. Once you learn usenet, you'll find you'll only be using torrents for the things you can't find on usenet. The best parts about using usenet is the fast and instant download speed no matter what, and not having to stay and be a seeder. I think I average about 6 minutes downloading the regular daily shows from usenet with my cable connection. And like torrents, the new shows are usually there by the next morning, and some are even there within a couple hours of the show ending. If you are interested in it, you should check out www.shemes.com .

Naja ... (belated) thanks for Season 2. and now this tip... I believe I will just have to get some lunch and give myself instructions ... "Hie thee to Shemes!" have had a pride and prejudice weekend, and I like saying that.

I have never used torrents but I'm going to try and find/watch CBBUK5 on the torrent site posted above. I'm pretty hopeless about these things so please don't roll your eyes out of your heads at me too many times. I'm really a fast learner, I promise!

well, the Celebs are in! anyone watching? I know a few (dirk benedict, jermaine jackson), but many seem to be strictly UK celebs. thus far, Dirk is charming and some lead singer from Towers of London is ... less than.

I love Celebrity Big Brother! I actually know who a good majority of them are, which scares me a bit. (geez, I've even seen Steps perform live before... well, lipsync live... but that counts) I got totally addicted to this show last year and am thrilled it's back. (I mean, I even downloaded Leo Sayer's greatest hits off Napster! ) [I should clarify, I'm in the US... obviously if I were in the UK knowing these people would be no big deal] I think I look forward more to UK Celebrity Big Brother than US BB now... :/ (I don't watch the UK summer BB, it's just too much to keep up with and too close to our BB.. now is a perfect time, for 3 weeks...) It's a bit of a pain to watch, but totally worth it. I wish the US BB producers would watch how horrible BB is to their "CELEBRITIES" before treating the US houseguests like royalty...

Is there a way to watch Celeb BB in the US? I know there used to be for summer BB, but Channel 4 have messed with the software to keep it from happening. Please tell me Celeb BB is different! I miss Jackie Stallone.
