No, I missed that too. I just can't tell how sincere he is, at the moment I think he thinks he's wooing them all.

Darn, Kitt, I didn't see your post in time. The addy I gave above isn't working anymore. You have to request to see the video or something. It seems like they (Channel 4 - UK) are chasing Justin TV down or something, lol.

Re Sree wooing all the gals, I'm thinking he thinks a bit much of himself. On the live feeds last night the other group of guys were on to him and they weren't acting like they liked him much. He should lay low or he'll be the next to go.

The ratings over there have tanked- no LF's have hurt a ton (about 2 million less than last year)

Rumour has it

Spoiler

Freddie and Sophia


are up for eviction.


I'm not surprised the ratings have tanked. The producers/whoever makes the decisions really didn't understand how important the feeds are to the buzz about the show, even if not many actually watch them first hand. Either that or they simply wanted to kill BB after 10 years and knew this would do it??

I blame the complainers for it a bit though. Although Ch4 have never come out and said it, I think a big part of the decision to stop the feeds might have been because they were so fed up with dealing with people complaining about what they saw... bullying, use of particular words, and so on.

Kitt, thanks for the info but by the time I got there it had been removed. They are relentless in their pursuit of people promoting their shows. I just don't get it. I can understand them blocking people in the UK from watching without seeing the ads, but there is no sense in keeping us in the US from seeing it. I wouldn't even mind if they showed it with the ads because I think the British ads are almost as much fun as the shows.

PS, I hope they never catch on that the big eared kid (I hesitate to say his name) is still showing the live shows. I get home about half way through so it's not a total loss.

after seeing Day 5, some of my opinions on people have changed radically. Siavash is kind of funny (Although I don't agree with the belief he and Cairon have that they're the most entertaining people in the house) and Saffia isn't as annoying as she was to me at first. Now I dislike Sophia and Sree.

Charlie pushing Saffia in to the pool was gold, by the way.

It always annoys me when big companies/corporations/higher-ups think they need to keep things from showing on YouTube to boost their own sales. A music company does that as well by blocking the music videos and live performances of their artists on YouTube. It boggles my mind, since that's basically letting people who wouldn't normally see/hear something get in to it. Bah. =/

Can't wait to see nominations (Didn't want to spoil something... for once. XD) and reasons why though! It's kind of my favorite part of the show, even though it's all entertaining to me.

I just read in the Lostpedia blog, that Naveen Andrews (Sayid) paid a visit to BB UK!

My two addictions merged together in the UK.

Just thought it was weird, suddenly I feel like I'm time traveling, or something.

Be still my heart. Sayid is the only hottie on Lost as far as I'm concerned. You can have Jack and Sawyer, I'll take Sayid any time.

Me too on Sayid. Although his actual accent is nowhere near as sexy as his Iraqi one, it kind of tempers the fire somewhat!

Watching BBLB. I'm scared to post links now - although I'm guessing no one is watching us small group chatting - but people at the streaming site still have some clips in their "clips" sections and yesterday's show plus some live feed clips are available. I think each day we're just going to have to search around until we find someone who hasn't been deleted lately! I have a whole bunch of sites bookmarked so if anybody ever can't find a site PM me and I'll see if I can find it. And now I'm going to try not to mention it again in case we are being spied upon!

A guest on BBLB seemed to give away that he'd been approached to be on Celeb BB this winter!

Did anyone see who voted for who? I was able to see a few of them, but not enough to see who is in with which group. I am shocked that Sree wasn't nominated. I find him the most annoying.

I haven't watched it yet, just about to and will post if no one else has by then.

Tweet from Davina:
ThisisDavina Spoke to c4 live feed not coming back. But web is putting on6-10 clips a day and are partnering with beebo msn and you tube to bring u more.

So I guess that's why they're cracking down on users posting youtubes, they want people to watch theirs.

I always like the filming on the UK BB. Innocent conversation outside and they focus in on Halfwit stroking the back of Dogface's neck. Hmmm.

Angel nommed Sophie/Dogface (didn't have anything to say) and Sophia (doesn't see anything inside her). To my ears she called them both Saffia, I don't know how BB worked it out!

Cairon nommed Sree and Charlie (reasons not shown)

Charlie nommed Sophia (argumentative) and Halfwit/Freddie (reason not shown)

Dogface/Sophie nommed Charlie (false) and Sree (criticises how they dress)

Halfwit/Freddie nommed Sree (domineering) and Lisa (also domineering)

Karly nommed Halfwit and Marcus (reasons not shown)

Kris nommed Halfwit and Sophia (reasons not shown)

Lisa nommed Halfwit (aggravates her, on his own planet) and Karly (too revealing clothes)

Marcus nommed Lisa (argumentative) and Sree (odd with women, thinks he's competing)

Noirin nommed Halfwit and Sophia (reasons not shown)

Rodrigo nommed Cairon (reason not shown) and Siavash (swears too much)

Saffia nommed Sophia (she dislikes her) and Marcus (aggressive)

Siavash nommed Charlie (kept his distance when they were still non-hms) and Halfwit (has obvious gameplan)

Sophia nommed Saffia (leader of the "pack") and Noirin (reason not shown)

Sree nommed Sophia (argumentative) and Marcus (swears, does not respect women)

~~~
Halfwit/Freddie, Sophia 6
~~~
Sree 4
Charlie, Marcus 3
Lisa 2
Karly, Dogface/Sophie, Cairon, Siavash, Saffia, Noirin 1
Angel, Kris, Rodrigo 0

Thanks for that info. I am surprised that some think Lisa is domineering and argumentative and yet don't see that in Angel. I think they are two of a kind. Sort of odd and set in their ways. While I'm not crazy about Halfwit, I really wish it was Sree instead of him. Whenever Sree gets nominated he will drive them all crazy.

Not sure if it was in the show or in the bit of live feed I saw, but I think Lisa messed up after some of them swapped one of the luxury tokens for alcohol after the eviction. I don't think she drinks, and she got upset that whoever had used the token didn't do a poll or check with everybody first. She said tomorrow she was going to take a token and use it however she wanted and no one could stop her because she wasn't consulted that day. It was a bit over the top, and I'm pretty sure that was what Marcus was talking about.

I'm fed up with Sree now too. Whatever his motives he seems to just need attention all the time, and it's annoying. So far them seem to mostly be patient with him, but I can't see them putting up with it for long in that kind of environment.

I just about spit out my water today, Kitt, when I read on the Live Feed Updates that Sree stated he wanted to learn how to be more of a casanova. Oh geez...what the heck was he doing with all the gals the other night?

He's taking his innocent act a bit too far and it's bugging the others. He got 4 votes. If the other two hadn't got so many, he might be up for eviction. Too bad everyone went for the same people.

If only one person had voted for Sree instead of Halfwit or Sophia, all 3 of them would be up and hopefully Sree would be gone. I don't particulary care for Halfwit or Sophia but I do think they would add some excitement to the house - some drama at least:-)}}. All Sree is going to do is bother everyone endlessly and take up camera time that could be covering someone else.

I think Sree will definitely be up very soon, and from the comments on DS he'd be out as soon as he's up. We may be spared much more of him!

On BBLB they're showing clips of the shopping task, and one of them (Kris) had to go through a room of lasers. Looks like fun!

But then some of them were talking about nominations (Marcus told Freddie he didn't vote for him and Sophia told everyone she would vote for Saffia every week if she stayed) so BB doubled the price of all the food on the shopping list as punishment.

Saffia has walked out... presumably because of her children???

eta: here's the statement from Ch4

Saffia Leaves the Big Brother House

Tonight, after eight days in the house, Saffia decided it was time to leave the Big Brother house. At 8.20pm Saffia came to the Diary Room and left the house.

Saffia's good-bye and her reasons for leaving will be shown in Friday night's highlights during the live eviction show.

Saffia's walk-out will not affect tomorrow's eviction between Halfwit or Sophia.

What!? Just as I was beginning to like her! D=

Ah well, thanks for the update. It will certainly be interesting to see why she left though, especially when things seemed to be going so well.

Thanks for the schedule. I thought that last year I watched from 1-2PM Pacific. Since most of the shows during the week won't start until 2, I should be able to see most of them since I will be getting home around 1:30. YIPPEEEEEE!!!

I never did warm up to Saffia and as obnoxious as Sophia is, she was right about Saffia in that she would be very two faced. At least with Sophia you know where you stand which is the way I prefer it. I have a problem with people who are nice to a person's face and then complain about them. I assume they are doing the same to me and can never trust them.

YW to above Anyhoo, if they are adding their own clips at YT, they are going to be editing it just like the HL show, so it's not the same as even reading what happened on the feeds. I am still leary about investing time in this and then not having any where to watch, clips is not the same and streams are difficult, oh well. Maybe there is a mole from another station within the production team sabotaging the show, lol. Was Naveen already on or is it in an upcoming show?

I am sorry I may be judgmental but her youngest is under a year old,she never should have entered the house in the first place. I understand a week away, but to plan to be away from your child of that age for up to three months just for a game show is wrong.

Yeah, last year the Highlights show was 9-10pm, this time it's slipped an hour. It might again be because of complaints, as in the UK there are different rules for what can be shown on tv at 9pm and at 10pm. But more likely it's just them trying to kill the show!

Saffia reminded me a bit of ... can't think of her name but the woman with Maxwell that year. Same controlling and talking behind the scenes. I'm guessing that the thing with Sophia attacking her and her already missing her kids meant she just couldn't be bothered to stay. Can't say I blame her.

Funny that we had three near identical names, now Saffia is gone, Sophia is almost certainly gone tomorrow, and Sophie is Dogface!
