Well at least that is finally cleared up, they never said it exactly on the show if any other old HMs would go up with the newbies. Damn I really wish there were feeds. There appears to be a lot going on today with Bea and Kenneth. Check out the video "Bea and Kenneth lock horns". Bea is awesome and makes Kenneth look like a cranky little boy. For allegedly being a high powered businessman and who knows what else he claims, he sure can't take it when somebody stands up to him. Of course from what is rumored on DS his money was inherited.

The video I mentioned with Bea and Kenneth arguing was of course rather sneakily edited by BB. From the context it seems that Bea said something to Kenneth that caused him to come over and start arguing, but that was left off the beginning of the vidfeo. I think it was "Do I intimidate you?" Now why would they leave that bit off the beginning of the clip? I wish she'd been in there since the start. It's good to finally see a female in that house that can argue and stand up for herself without screaming inanities like Lisa or really any of the others.

I don't think Kenneth is used to people standing up to him, and I think from his comments about Karly and now Sophie he's particularly not used to having women stand up to him. Go Bea! If they're editing clips to remove Bea's comments it seems like BB don't much care for Kenneth either.

Oh wow, as the original hms know the newbies have some sort of secret task and think it is to do with nominations they're plotting to not nominate!! This would be baaaaad! If they don't nominate they will be punished, and of course the most likely punishment is.... to be up for eviction! Nooooo! According to this Ch4 article so far Siavash, Charlie, Marcus, Noirin and Dogface have agreed to do it... if they pull in Freddie then the newbies pass their task! http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/blog/5b8da0d32a9d19dae63d1cfc80a0a1c7/view.c4

Kitt, thanks again for the schedule. I don't know how they work it over there. I don't understand how a regular show can change the times at will. It drives me nuts when ABC adds a minute or two to some of their shows and the next one starts at 10:02. But at least it's always the same within five minutes unless there is a special which they advertise ad nauseum.

It's because the networks channels there don't really have long running series like they do over here. The US shows are mostly on cable channels first of all and then the big ones (CSI, ER...) come to network tv when they're a year or two old and there are only a few different ones a week. Mostly tv is short running series for comedies (say six half-hour shows), documentaries which run for a similar sort of time, and specials: one-off documentaries; mini-series that often have three shows on back to back nights. Toss in several soaps and a few game shows (mostly half an hour) and you just get used to things being slotted around whatever else is being shown. Another fun thing I find Americans find hard to believe is that the two big soaps which are on two competing channels work together and NEVER overlap. If only one is on that night they're on at 7.30pm, but some nights they're both on and one moves to 8pm. Even when there's a big football match on one channel, the competing channel won't schedule the soap against the football match... so for example there might be a match on at 6pm on ITV, scheduled to end at 8pm, so BBC would wait until 8pm to air Eastenders and ITV would show something else while Eastenders is on, even though it's their regular spot for Coronation Street - they'd wait until 8.30pm when Eastenders is finished to show that. There would be UPROAR should Eastenders and Coronation Street ever clash!

It seems so much more civilized to make sure that people can watch all their favorite shows. That sure is different from the way US networks do it. They purposely move shows to be opposite one another. It usually kills one of the shows. For a while on Thursdays I had two VCRs going and had to be home to watch whatever. I know I'm out of the loop and should get tivo or something like it, but I have too much TV to watch as it is. Add the computer and reading and I have no time for anything else. All that sitting can't be good for me.

You mean she didn't put her fingers in her ears and scream lalalalala? ------------ Lol. I was trying to remember that ridiculous "argument" and Lisa's brilliant response. I used to have 2 VCRs, and more recently 2 tivos so I could catch everything. Thank god for the internet, I don't use anything except usenet these days, and never miss anything. Plus the added benefit of no commercials and everything from the HD broadcasts, and foreign shows. Oh yea and no hundreds of VHS tapes or rewinding =)

We have a TiVo now, that can tape two sides. Occasionally we want to tape three things so I have to find out which is available on hulu and leave that one for later! They're showing the Ken-Bea chat about getting Freddie up now. I think most people with a heart would find that difficult to do - make someone you like mess up and get a penalty. Not to mention the fact that they don't know whether the penalty would be what they think it would be. Hira definitely isn't as dim as she appeared that first night. Maybe she was just hyper because of the excitement (or the champagne!).

Wow. Ken is either really stupid or he is seriously aiming to get out this week. I can't believe all the crap he spouted when he knows it would be on TV. And I agree, his plan to get Freddie is seriously flawed. BB hasn't given direct penalty noms for discussing nominations, and I doubt they'd make it that easy on the new HMs. Like with Siavash and Sophie, they had the task to not swear to get out of it. I think Freddie could easily pass that or any equivalent task to avoid nomination. Though maybe for Freddie they could tell him he can't say "man" or "rock and roll". The other half of the HL show, all about Noirin and Marcus once again, is really getting boring. She warned him off once again but he's never going to get it if she keeps flirting and sitting on his lap.

I wonder if Ken wants to be out this week to exploit the Karly/Ken magazine deals?? I can't see how he thinks anything we're seeing is going to be favourable to him, unless he thinks any press is good press. It was an odd Highlights show. I'm fed up with both Noirin and Marcus. I know they're bored in there but move on already! And Lisa of all people was giving helpful information to Marcus?! And sticking up for Karly, I might just like her a little.... arrg new people always shake things up! I'm trying to find the rumour of the new nominees but nothing yet. It's usually out by now, maybe it was complicated by some not nominating and they're unsure what to do.

I haven't seen any leaked press release about nominations, however the feeds have started and they are discussing the newbies' task. Siavash said he didn't think the originals could have been influenced by anything the newbies did... it sounds like the newbies failed their task but some/all of the originals are up as well. Marcus says 11 are up - that would most likely be the five newbies plus all the originals except Lisa and Rodrigo, who probably wouldn't have gone along with the nomination boycot. eta: yep, confirmed: all but Lisa and Rodrigo are up. I hope Ken goes, otherwise Marcus is in trouble! oh, and.... as this was likely to be an eviction with multiple nominees, maybe this will be the first double eviction???

I've watched 33 minutes of the HL show - is Rodrigo still in the house? According to Kitt's post, he is, but so far I haven't even seen him in the background!

So the two originals I would most like to see gone are the only two not up for eviction. Why am I surprised? If it's a multiple eviction, Kenneth and Marcus will likely go. I can't see anyone wasting a dime (or pence) on a call to evict Hira or even Tom. The other originals are looking good when compared to some of the new bunch. I like Marcus and sort of pity him, but I know a lot of people really dislike him.

I think if it's one it'll be Ken, two then Ken and Marcus, possibly Noirin. But of course it's a long time until Friday, if Ken calms down we could see some originals go. Sara, according to reports of the live feeds, about an hour ago (so yes, Roddie's still there!) Rodrigo and Charlie were in the bath, with Charlie shaving Rodrigo's legs. I think they're getting closer.

Thanks for the current update Kitt! Was a bit concerned about both Rodrigo and Charlie BTW - how is possible that Sophie has any cellulite? Kenneth is beyond a pig. I wondered at one point if he realizes there are cameras going all the time. He talks like he's hanging out with "his boys" when he's with Tom. As much as I thought Karly was not the nicest person, she does not deserve someone like him. I hope she dumps him. I doubt she will, but I hope she does!

Someone just mentioned something going on in the UK version of BB. Is anyone about to be kicked out? I missed the show today and wasn't able to see the highlights anywhere yet. I'll check somewhere now. I thought they nommed on Wednesday and if Halfwit and Noirin are nommed, how did the newbies fail their task?

I haven't heard about anybody being kicked out, Cricket. The newbies' task was to get the originals to nominate Freddie and Noirin. As most of them they rebelled and didn't nominate at all they failed the task. The originals are up because of penalties not nominations. It'd have been an interesting dilemma for BB if the two nominating hms, Lisa and Rodrigo both nominated Freddie and Noirin, so they were kind of up by nomination, even though there was a nomination revolt. I wonder if then the newbies wouldn't have been up. Doubt that happened though!

Maybe it was the nomination revolt that was news. Why was there a nomination revolt? Who led the revolt? I thought noms were on Wednesdays. Will Lisa and Rodrigo be nomming tomorrow (Wed UK time?)

They realised the newbies had a task that was something to do with nominations, and I think they felt if the nominations were fixed somehow they didn't want anything to do with it. I think it was either Marcus or Siavash who started talking about it, but there might have been earlier chats we weren't shown. No, Lisa and Rodrigo have nominated today, and all the other presumably went in to nominate but then said they wouldn't. Nominations are usually Monday, with the reveal done on Tuesday's BBLB. Now around midnight Monday, everyone can see the press release they give the newspapers, so we know earlier. Today there doesn't seem to be a release, I guess because they had to scramble a bit because of the rule break.

Someone (unnamed) "from production" has said all eight original housemates did nominate as usual, but it's true that 11 are up (all except Lisa and Rodrigo). Guess we'll see what really happened tomorrow.

Speculation is that they all did nominate as usual, but the originals, minus Lisa and Rod, are up because they discussed nominations. I got this off another message board. I don't know if it's rumor, knowledge or guesswork, but that's what was posted.
