I believe there were 2 Diary Room Uncuts aired each of the last weekends as well, although honestly I haven't watched either to confirm if they're the same show..

After having viewed up late last night while Laura was guest, I think I would prefer to redo my appendectomy if I had it all over to actually choose between the two.

If you just want to watch highlights of each day and each live show, you can watch on "you tube" here: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=dotcomboy11

Thanks to Maris' post of watchsitcoms I have now been captivated by BBUK. Thanks Granny2u for the youtube link.

Thanks again to Bourque, Maris and Granny2U--I have been enjoying BBUK so much--there are elements that are so different than the US--I find the fact that they are not allowed to strategize about nominations make it ejoyable--not so much backstabbing--

Yes Real that is a real bonus but what is funny is if you read the UK boards a large group of fans over there wish that they had a version like the US and love the idea of strategizing. As someone said before, grass is always greener. I also like the UK version because of that element of surprise and the fact that they actually enforce the BB rules over there. It is great to watch BB dish out the punishments and I particularly like BB giving the punishments to other HGs not the offender, to stir things up more.

for some reason, they decided to let the HM's up for eviction give Liam 100,000 pounds, telling them it was the prize money (of course it isn't)...it went over really flat on Digital Spy it looks like as pointless.. their shopping task was interesting tho...using the pool, they had to cover the distance of the English Channel in about 30 hours (about 21 miles, which was a little over 7500 lengths of the pool)...everyone had to swim one length, but otherwise they could split it as they wanted (two people not swimming had to be in a small boat wearing raincoats as "spotters" as well). They passed, but there were two twists; Amanda, one of the twins, did the most laps (1369), and got to make up the shopping list, Brian did the least (the minimum of one) he'll have to do a forfeit...

I was in England for the first week of this, and am so happy to see this thread and the links to the shows! I'm going through dotcomboy's u-tube clips and have wasted several hours of my life watching them - I'm now up to day 16, when the four boys come in. My thoughts: I cannot take any more Charley or Shabnam! I liked Nikki at first but she seems so neurotic (is that the right word?) it's getting hard to watch her. I don't mind Carol but I think she's at the end of her tether and so is acting rather badly. Laura seems a bit of a troublemaker because she can't stop talking sometimes, I don't think she's actually mean spirited though. I like the twins, hard not to. I like Chanelle too, but I think Ziggy is taking advantage of her a little. I don't mind him, he's an odd soul, but then he's been put into such an odd situation. I think he's more into Chanelle than she is into him. Shawny and the Greek guy (I'm blanking out on his name) - didn't like them at first impression, the Greek one was tooooo talkative and Shawny too controlling but both have grown on me. The Greek one is pretty insightful at times, I think he'd be a good friend. I must be missing someone... Not sure what to make of Tracey. Just seen the four guys enter so don't have a comment on them yet. I've seen the odd show of past years' BBUK but haven't seen most of a season since the first one with Jade. I like how real the people seem to be, even the ones like Shabnam who clearly consider this a big audtition are so clearly themselves, in all their faults and insecurities. I find it fascinating.

I, too, am watching this for the first time and would love to see a combination of both US and UK here for us. Do they get their meals prepared for them? I know they get money for groceries, but never see the big deal of cooking like we have here... I like the more "humanness" of the contestants also, as well as the noms and voting... A good show all in all.

The last 10 minute of 23b daily show has to be some of the funniest tv I have seen in months! (the girls dressing up competing for Liam)

barb you haven't seen the drama over cooking? Yep there is drama over food, Nikki pitching a fit over there not being stuff left for making meals. So Ziggy dumped Channelle, I swear he really was shabby about it. He hooked onto her, used her to get through and then dumped her once the money was gone in their knowledge.

What does the winner of BB UK receive? Is there a prize for 2nd place? And did Liam really receive the 100k pounds that was in the diary room?

Bourque --- technical question if you have any suggestions. For some reason my real player wont play the downloads anymore, it started at episode 18. I download the torrents fine in azureus, the files are saved as real player files but nothing happens. Can you recall if I need to do something in real player to reset it to play the xvid files??? I havent been able to watch anything since before the last eviction, boo hoo. Havent even sen the new guys yet.

well, it seems to be working now... will try to post this question for the THIRD time where do you all watch BB UK live feeds? Or CAN you do it? the Channel 4 deal is for UK people only. I signed up for StreamingTVNow, but get good video and awful sound.. buffering all the time... I go to the youtube for updates, and clips, but would love to have live feeds. thanks for any help.

I'm just watching the you tubes, so can't help with feeds or torrents, sorry. Naja above mentioned 23a - is that day 23? The last I'm seeing posted on You tube are Day 22... I think I must be watching a day behind. Redhawk, yes, I believe Liam did get $100K. The winner will get another $100K but the houseguests don't know that. I don't know what second place gets.

Maris have you ever tried VLC? It plays every format and works pretty darn well, I use it for DVDs on the computer, too. OR, like Kitt said, the eppy's are on youtube and you don't need a youtube account to view them. They're at www.youtube.com/bb8uk. I caught up there today on the laptop while I worked since I didn't have good enough connection to DL them, lol.

Maris, do you have windows media player on your computer? Since you already have all right codecs installed, they should play fine in WMP without you having to do anything extra.
