Thank you all for the info and links. Since I'm sort of babysitting for my granddaughter this summer, I don't know how much I will be able to catch, but this thread will keep me up to date I'm sure. Unless I can convince my daughter to show me how to use her lap top... Hehehehe... I never got the hang of the little pad instead of a mouse.

The only ones who are Housemates by the end of BBBM were Rodriguez and Noirin as they did the shave task with the marker. The rest will have to earn their place or face the live voting on Sunday night. (for timezone reference BB UK is 5 hours ahead of EST New York City time, so 8 hours ahead of LA so 8 AM is 3 AM NYC and midnight LA)

I posted the tv schedule earlier but it's in the thread before this one. BBBM is now with Davina but only once a week, after the liveshow. BBLB is most evenings around 6pm ish UK time (10am Pacific). Kellee, Lisa and Kris are housemates too now. Lisa answered the phone (that's all it took!) and then was allowed to choose someone, and she chose Kris. The four housemates have access to their beds in the bedroom, and everything from their suitcases. The rest are making beds out of what they have in the main room.

So I watched the launch show and wow, could Rodrigo be any more adorable? Him in the Diary Room when he was getting his instructions brought a smile to my face! So glad he's a housemate.

Reported on insidebigbrother.net : Charlie & Saffia become official housemates Pair complete broken glass walk Day 2: Charlie and Saffia have gained full housemate status after successfully completing an ‘SAS’ task. Earlier this morning, an SAS team burst into the house and forced the duo to go into the garden. They were ordered to attempt a task involving walking on broken glass. A man wearing a balaclava told the pair: “Remove your footwear. Step forward one pace. In front of you lies 150 smashed wine bottles. This is real glass. Look forward, don’t look down. This is real glass. It will cut you if you do not pay attention.” He continued: “Put your foot down on the glass. If it feels sharp, move your foot. It is not a race.” Charlie and Saffia both completed the task, as the other housemates looked on in shock. After successfully attempting the broken glass walk, Big Brother informed the housemates: “This is Big Brother. Congratulations Charlie and Saffia. You have successfully completed your challenge and are now housemates.” The pair are now real housemates, joining Rodrigo, Noirin, Lisa and Kris.

Wow! And it's definitely an SAS day! Karly also has a task! They're a bit extreme! She had to stand still while two SAS guys blindfolded her, made her lay down, and she thought one of them was going to ride a motor bike over her - it turns out they just had the wheel off so there was no danger but she didn't know it! So Karly is a real housemate now too. Karly's task at CH4 BB site

It's weird, there's literally no new news since 6am last night except from the Offical site, which is pretty scant! Of course without feeds there can't be but still, it feels a little surreal. I'll see if I can watch streaming of BBLB, which starts at 6pm. Maybe they'll have something. In fact maybe it's all a big stunt to get more people watching BBLB and the highlights show, as they're starved of information until then.

George on BBLB is giving a summary of what's happened and it's nothing new, 5 HMs and 9 non-HMs so far: Rodrigo and Noirin are official HMs due to the eyebrow shaving thing. Lisa and Kris and HMs because of the phone thing. Charlie and Saffia over the walking over (sugar) glass. Karly over the motorbike. If there have been any more stunts during the day they're keeping mum about it, I guess so the highlights has more in it. One interesting thing... when the SAS stormed the house to kidnap people for the task, BB was repeating in the background "this is a task, this is a task, this is..." I guess they didn't want to scare anyone too badly.

George said that just in the last hour Sophie and Freddie changed their name by deedpoll to Halfwit and Dogface! They are now real HMs too. (Deedpoll is a legal process to change your name... I presume they can change it back relatively easily, it'll just be paperwork.)

I am betting BB won't even file the deed poll just like they didn't really file the marriage license for Mario and Stephanie last year despite telling them they would

I love BBUK but this is really lame that there is only a live feed at night. ETA - TPTB had better not think about doing this in the U.S. version. We wouldn't be able to trust hardly anything on the shows then due to the excessive editing.

Correction to the above, Sophie is Dogface and Freddie is Halfwit. (!)

I hope they file the deedpoll, it isn't really a huge deal, not compared to a marriage. And I'm pretty certain they can just change it back. In the live (and completed unrehearsed I'm sure (not)) questions at the end of BBLB they asked about the lack of live feeds and they did their usual, everyone was looking at the official website anyway thing. They did seem to make out it was some huge thing that the overnight tv live feed is on, but I don't think they ever meant to drop that anyway, it's the only good ratings E4 has all year! I think Ch4 are getting quick on the draw with youtubes. The ermmmmmmmmmmm... youtube person someone linked to above has been suspended, dirtymonkey151 was forced to remove stuff (although he's now online again with dirtymonkey153). I haven't found lastnight's BBBM anywhere yet, does anyone know where I can find it?

People posting highlights shows: http://www.youtube.com/user/xxG66xx (might have BBLB too, there's one clip up) http://www.youtube.com/user/dirtymonkey153 I still can't find BBBM.

Sorry for the repeated info, I didn't read too far back, but I just also got that there is no feeds, so that means that the only shows are the edited highlights? That will be odd, usually people watching it give a different point of view than the producers want the audience to see. Thank you everyone, those are the shows I meant. I'm glad Davina is hosting it, but it will likely be a different show, which is good to me, since I have only liked a couple of hosts since RB left. In any event, I found dm is starting to post BBBM at one if their channels (guessing it's the same person) at the link below. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=dirtymonkey153&view=videos I also found at the following channel there is a pre-season show with RB (looks like this season), along with the other two pre-season shows I mentioned pages ago :-) http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=dirtymonkey151&view=videos

Thanks Kitt, I wonder if it was the live feeds that got the account suspended. If CH4 is going to start demanding YT's stop uploading their show, then they will loose out on viewers, so that makes no sense. I don't want to waste time searching the internet looking for this show, it's not worth it to me. Oh well, only time will tell.

I think the ermmmm person covered some of the live feeds over the night, which might have been just a bit too much for ch4. And I noticed dm153 is now naming the shows differently, so they're not as easy to search for... but that works both ways and we might not be able to find them either! Hopefully he doesn't get got and we can rely on him. I've only just had a quick look at the BB site this morning, but I think the housemates are Rodrigo Noirin Lisa Kris Charlie Saffia Karly Freddie Sophie Cairon Cairon won the last task where they have to dunk a biscuit and see who can dunk it for longest. Great task! So six non-housemates facing a vote to SAVE tomorrow are: Angel Beinazir Marcus Siavash Sophia Sree I can't find out how many are staying and how many are going.

How do we keep them straight? I get the two blondes confused when I see them and I cannot remember which is Saffia, which is Sophia and which is Sophie. I like the short black woman and dislike the mother/make-up one and can't remember who the third is. I think it will take this old CRS brain a few weeks to get them straight. So far I've been able to watch live on Justin. Thanks to whoever gave that link. I'll just go through my list of possibles when I need to see it on You Tube and hope that CH4 doesn't catch up to them.

I'm waiting until they sling out the extras before I worry about who is who! So far I adore Rodrigo and haven't formed real opinions about the rest, except Siavash, who, ermm, created let's say negative reactions in me. I have to admit to thinking most of them are more than a little weird this year. I have to wait and see if they grow on me. I didn't think the lack of live feeds would make much difference, but it has. There just isn't that excitement of finding out what happened when you were away, instead it's four or five mostly useless summaries by Ch4. I suppose I'll get into it as the numbers drop and we get to know them better, but so far it hasn't grabbed me as I feel like I don't know anything.

Rodrigo is adorable. I also like the one he drew the eyeglasses on and Lisa. I thought would dislike Siavsh, but so far he doesn't seem that bad. The Russian will not last because she really seems to be a control freak. Of course, all of my opinions are open to change at any moment.

Rodrigo's a given, and watching him last night with Soph- er, Dogface, the blond model, made me love her too. She's very funny and warm, offering to help him with the dishes when she noticed he was doing them alone. (They then had many dog jokes going on between them.) Lisa's pretty cool, and Sophia (black woman) is great as well. Kris looks like a cross between Dale and Ben as far as his face goes. (And strangely, he isn't as good-looking. O.o) I don't like Siavash all that much, and Cairon doesn't have any personality. However, my LEAST favorite by far is Saffia, the brunette that doesn't like the term "single mother". (Can't blame her since it does carry a negative connotation.) She's just so... Blah, I don't really know, but she's for sure my least favorite right now. As for the people they're voting to save, I'm fairly certain Sophia will make it; she was the one Davina noted had unanimous cheers on launch night.

I haven't seen today's shows yet, but they sound good. I think I'll get into it more, the mosre I watch. Davina twitters while watching... she says the name change is legal but they can legally change it back afterwards. (She's also joking about using "safeguard" in her bedroom tonight!)

Watching the show now. I think I like most of the people who are housemates, and not so many of the ones who aren't. I'm not sure if that's because they're grouchy because of their conditions or not! What a way to create animosity in the beginning though. It also means people are NOT on their best behaviour when there's an eviction coming.
