That must have been it Care, thanks. It was just a ridiculously long period of chirping birds inter-spliced by commercials, as it's from the E4 feed. Very wierd. Felt like US BB. almost.

the shopping task this week is pretty good...it's a "time travel" task...they were told in the future the'd had failed this week, but had the opportunity to change history....the diary room looks like a itme machine, and when two HG's went into the task room, which was set up like the rich/poor divide from season 3....they had to face off in some games against two HG's FROM seaosn 3....

Just working my way through the clips... About Liam, I think he's being given a hard time from two directions. I think Amy is making trouble about Liam with Kara Louise and possibly Kara Louise is talking about it. Then I think Carole and Brian are a bit jealous that Liam has "changed" which is really just him spending more time with Amy and Ziggy and less with them. I think Amy is being pretty cool about it all to Liam, but he doesn't seem to believe that.

Sounds like the thing with Liam, Ziggy and Carole and the willies was just imagination from the person who reported it!

Still in the middle of watching so will bore you more with my comments in a bit :-).

Thanks Wilson, that must have been cool. I can't wait to see the blast from the past with the HMs from S3, how fun for them.

This link at DS has a post with last nights synopsis (jjpof). Last night Amanda got drunk and flirty with Brian, who had gained some initiative (drink perhaps) after the BB3 HMs visit, and tried to get a kiss. It doesn't seem that they did, they may have, but Sam didn't seem all that happy with her sister. But, no biggie it seems.

Corrected link for BBLB from yesterday was actually August 6, as today is the 7th, oops, sorry about that.

Big Brother 8 UK Little Brother August 6 Part 1 of 3

Yesterday's highlights show is up, HL are of Sunday, Day 68 (today, Tues Aug 7 is Day 70); there are 6 parts to this one.

Big Brother 8 UK Highlights Show August 6 Part 1 of 6 (HL of Sun Day 68)

Rumors are flying this morning, supposedly some rag mags are reporting the nominated HMs are Kara, Jonty and of course automatically the twins. There is no confirmation from CH4 though, bummer, more Carole, ughhhhh. I know some people like her, but for me, they need a double eviction week real quick.

Well the good news Stormie is EVENTUALLY, they'll have an all up week. Depending on who's still in the house when they do this, Carole's number could very well be up if she keeps rubbing people the wrong way. I think it's a gaurantee above certain people in there, Carole is NOT a frontrunner to win at this point.

Yanno, I'm really shocked that Carole's continued support of Charley hasn't lost her more favor outside of the house. Especially since Charley had to supposedly leave the country due to death threats and being afraid to return to her home.

Today, Brian stated that he felt Charley was envious of Chanelle. He also stated that she was way more envious than Nicky ever was. Carole disagreed, naturally. Honestly, I think ANYONE that sparred with Chanelle at any point would have become one of Carole's pets. I have never seen someone who is almost 4 times their senior carry on so much about someone (even over a WEEK after they're gone!). Just let it GO.

I haven't caught up properly either - and I don't care for Kara Louise either! Her telling off Amy and David for voting them out too quickly annoyed me, not because of the content, but because of the timing. They had an hour or something to all be together and I felt she put herself first. As did Amy when she cried about it. But I haven't seen much of her since so she might grow on me.

If the nominees really are Kara-L, Jonty and the Twins I think there's a chance the twins might go if it's a double eviction. They do still have some people saying they're fake. If it's a single eviction I'm guessing Kara-L. I'd hope if it's a double eviction BB would make sure at least four people are on the block.

I am watching, just spent today catching up actually. To be honest, I kind of lost interest, watched it, but lost interest when they did this halfway house crap.

What I find absolutely fascinating is how none of the houseguests cop on to carole when they are in the house, but once on the outside they see how she truly was working against them and working her own agenda.

Even now, none of the people in the house cop on to how Carole views any female as a threat to her relationship with the straight men in the house.

I think the twins pulled a masterful move, asking to be put up as one nomination. I dont see the public voting to eliminate two people so whoever is up against the twins will be the one to go. I would like to see Ziggy go, if only as retribution for the way he treated Chanelle and then I want to see the halfway house folks gone followed by Carole.

Also, does anyone else here think that maybe Tracey likes Liam????

If the twins are one person, what about the nominations they have done in the past? It seems unfair if someone was on the block and voted out because ONE housemate had double votes.

I thought the HWH was a good idea, but bc Chanelle left, things didn't seem to go well with it at all. I think had Ziggy not fallen on his sword (I call it taking a dive), then it may have faired better and Carole may of been the one to initially go. Also, there was supposed to be a 6th HWHM, but that person changed their mind at the last minute. All in all, it didn't work out the way I think that the producers had planned. Now it's like the viewers are waiting for the HWHMs to be voted out, but that means the evictions are boring, predictable, and dull. I still like this BB much more than the US, it's always changing, things aren't structured and rigid, and with things up in the air all the time, meaning the producers can and do change things up, it is still fun.

I think with Carole, the HMs believe she is popular with the viewers, so they don't want to step on her toes, being that they would look bad. And even though she is inappropriately a budinsky, they seem to hold their tongue (although sometimes Ziggy, Gerry, and the twins have called Carole out), to keep the peace. I thought that with Kara-Louise some of the cooking would be done, and she would try to just do it, but I forget she is even there most of the time. Kara-Louise is very quiet and I don't think she would step in what Carole deems as her "territory" which technically is everyone's fault for allowing her to do it, but I can't see the new HMs doing anything at this point, if the original HMs haven't by now. I just don't think they see her as an emotional blackmailer/control freak, the way many (not all) viewers do. A lot of this also has to do with how CH4 is spinning her and the other HMs, and even though Carole has been getting worse with her controlfreakness, I think it would make them look bad to just change things on a dime. Hopefully her time is coming soon.

I don't think Tracey likes Liam in that way, I never got that impression. I think if anyone it would have been Ziggy, but I doubt she would even think about going there, bc she is a girls girl and has respect for Chanelle, as well as herself. A bit of gossip though from last night (I'll be tactful), Ziggy did something to Tracey, which upset Carole, and also perplexed the others. Ziggy was worried he would be chastised by BB, and may have been as both he and Tracey were called into the DR not long after the incident. It wasn't viewable by people on the feeds (from what I read), but from what people were piecing together, they surmised that Ziggy touched Tracey inappropriately, though she thought he was just joking around (she's 37, so I figure she doesn't take things to heart and knows he didn't mean anything). However, what was thought to have happened was from a discussion on the matter with Amy, Liam and Tracey in the bar. Amy said that it was 'akin to Tracey, as a joke, falling on top of Liam, then Amy falling on top of Tracey and "stroking" Liam.' So, you can kind of guess what may have happened. I think Ziggy is having some kind of break, the other day he told Gerry to let him touch his penis (as a joke, while wresting with Liam and Gerry), he seemed mortified, now this. It's like he's 13 years old. Oh Carole, what have you done to Ziggy, anyone think he feels emasculated and is just flipping out a bit?

Looks like Amy, Jonty, Kara-Louise and the twins are up for eviction. What a bore. I hope it's not the twins. I can, though, see the public voting them out just to change things up. If there is one, I think it may be Amy, they keep spinning her as this bad person on HL and then OTC, but if there are two, I think it will be Amy and Kara-Louise. I hope something exciting happens this week, it is very boring with the predictable stuff.

Keep in mind, I'm saying this as someone who is still on Sunday's eppy. It sickens me how Carole emotionally blackmails people in this house. They call her out on stuff, and she either gets mad at them and basically tells them to shut up, she doesn't want to hear their side of the argument OR she starts bawling and whining about how people don't understand where she's coming from. Sheesh, woman, get over it.

I'd like to know why it's okay for her to act that way (keeping in mind she's a 53 yr old woman) and GIRLS like Chanelle who have tantrums get crucified. I guess because Carole's not actually stomping around, she gets a free pass.

Stormie, I'm worried about the twins as well. A LOT of people are posting on DS that the "originals" (mainly Tracey, Ziggy, Gerry & Liam) are acting "smug" and therefore want to teach them a lesson by sacrificing the twins. Some genuinely just want the twins out because they don't want them to win. I think Friday might end up being a shock if this mentality continues.

I agree the HWH was a bust, I think BB just left it too late, and neither the original housemates nor the public thought anyone new deserved to be treated as a "real" housemate so late in the game. And the seemingly random nature of which HWHMs stayed and which were up for nomination didn't help, it really could have been any of the new people, it was if now skill or vote resulted in who stayed and who was up for eviction.

I think Stormie has a point about Ch4 spinning things to make Carole look good. I don't know why so many people in the audience of the shows seem to like her. Davina at least seemed as if she'd cottoned onto what was happening, so maybe that will help. Carole's behaviour over the dinner was so rude and transparent, she had a reason ready as to why it was bad if they did make the dinner, and a reason ready as to why it was bad if they didn't. Then they made an entire dinner by themselves and she just jumped on the one thing they did wrong and went on and on about it as if it was a huge character flaw. (Admittedly the lack of the nutroast is a big deal if you're the vegetarian but they just didn't realise. And nutroast does look a lot like nut stuffing.)

I feel better about the twins being up for eviction given that Amy is up too. I think Amy will definitely go. If it's a double eviction I think also Kara-Louise. It seems like there are more twin lovers than haters, so I just hope the lovers do some protective voting.

I can't imagine Tracey taking offense at much. I wonder what happened.

As a task today, the newbies (Jonty, Amy & Kara-Louise), were allowed to see who nominated them and why. From reading DS, Kara-Louise was very upset about what Carole said of her, and Amy seemed annoyed that she was viewed by some as someone who had watched BB, had a game plan and was after Liam's money. Jonty seemed to take it all with a grain of salt. I'd love to see Amy stay, though, just to get under Carole's skin. Now THAT would be funweek 2007. Here's an article on who voted for whom and why.

Today's (Tuesday Day 70) BBBL is up. Dermot just cracks me up, the end of this season will suck, bc all we have here is Julie--bore city, sorry to her fans, but sigh (OT a bit, I hated Dick for pouring icetea over Jen, what a moron; Eric is moving up on my watch list, he's getting better, though I still hope Jen pulls it off and stays this week).

Big Brother 8 UK Little Brother August 7 Part 1 of 3

I think it's very sweet that Brian and Amanda had a little kiss last night, and Brian had told someone they discussed not trying to get together in the house, but seeing what happens after--awwww, it's too cute. Apparently Amanda had a chat with Kara-Louise last night, who told Amanda some tips on flirting and to also let Brian know if she were interested, if not, tell him that and continue on. I guess she is. Carole the badinski, is trying to start trouble by claiming that Amanda fancied Liam, but I think both twins see Liam as a big brother/cousin type and nothing more--they just adore him. I hope the twins stay, Liam will have no one to throw in the pool.

Apparently tonight Ziggy and Gerry have gotten into it again. Ziggy had nominated Gerry this week, and since the newbies got to see the noms today, or for whatever reason, Ziggy decided to tell Gerry. From what I read, it seemed reminiscent to some of what Ziggy had done to Chanelle, some noting that in a second Ziggy would say 'it's not you, it's me Sarah.' Ziggy then continued his rant to Liam and Tracey, saying even Chanelle was irritated by Gerry, and also saying that Chanelle left his name off the note (that was an oversight, she adores Gerry). Of course, leave it to Tracey to point out that it was weird that Chanelle left Ziggy off of the note (go Tracey). Last I read Gerry was still in the BR crying. Poor Gerry, he's being made out to look like a bad guy this week, I wonder if he'll be on the chopping block next week.

Hi everyone, I know this is OT... BB2 Africa started started 2 days ago and I was curious how they do things so I downloaded their first two shows. It's interesting.


Here are their first two shows if anybody is interested in taking a peek. They are two WMV files zipped in one folder. The launch show day 1, and the nomination show day 2.

Poor Gerry. I get a feeling he's a lovely guy but he does seem to be getting hard to live with. The comparison with Chanelle is a good one - he's beginning to need attention from Ziggy and Ziggy is rebelling in his usual way. Other than the newcomers, Gerry was the only housemate to get any nominations. I think he'll definitely be on the block next week.

Brian and Amanda could be good together but I hope they do leave it for outside the house. If they've lasted this long without acting on anything they can wait another few weeks! One thing I do love is Liam and the twins, he seems completely to just be having fun with them. I can understand him being protective of Amanda when she's drunk and perhaps not acting with all her faculties.

The HMs failed their time travel task this week. Looks like they will be on regular food rations this week. It's going to be interesting to see if Carole can maintain control of the kitchen, when everyone is looking for something to eat. Still, the tasks looked like fun though. Ziggy, Carole, Gerry and Tracey went to 1847 and could not invent electricity; Brian and Kara-Louise went to 2002 and could not win a game against BB3 contestants Alex and Adele; and Liam, Sam, Amanda, and Amy went to 100,000 BC and could not invent the wheel or fire (who do you suppose chucked Amy, Sam and Amanda in the dirt? lol)

Today is Wed Aug 8 Day 71. Yesterday's highlights show is up; HL are from Monday Day 69.

Big Brother 8 UK Highlights Show August 7 (HL of Mon Day 69)

This is a DS threadage with a bunch of pics posted by mazey. Lots from yesterday's tasks, noms and last night's fun fest of everyone went to sleep relatively early, lol. Today Kara-Louise is supposedly going to cook dinner. Control-freak Carole said yesterday that she was, so we'll see. If nothing else, Carole will simply try to make negative comments about why what Kara-Louise is doing is not a good idea, oh Carole, get over yourself. Kara-Louise is supposed to be an excellent cook, so if she gets to cook again, it will be a fantastic day for, well, me, lol, gloat much, yes, hopefully Carole will be put in her place.

DS Aug 8 midnight-6am thread with mass pics from this timeframe and the day before.

Major gossip this morn on the rags. Supposedly Chanelle is going back into the house. I don't see it happening, I hope it doesn't, but you never know with BB. Here's an article someone put on PB about it. Zero confirmation from any CH4 source at this time, again, just rag gossip.

Well Nikki went in last year, but she was voted back in by the audience/HMs. The HMs all brought her back in so she could be reunited with Pete. MAN I wish it were true just to see the freakin' look on Carole's face.

I think Ziggy's finding it difficult not having Chanelle to use as his daily punching bag, so he's taking it out on Gerry. I wish it were possible for Gerry to pop him one. I go through a very love/hate relationship with Ziggy. I KNOW he's smarmy, cocky, and irritating....but there's sometimes when he smiles I can see why girls/women in that house at like morons around him/for him.

There, I said it.
