Quebec has gotten on the reality show bandwagon. I've been watching Loft Story since October 5th and it is very similar to the first year of Big Brother. Loft Story is entirely in French and the rights were bought from Endemol France. Last week 2 of the houseguests walked out on the same day. They actually sent in replacements last week. The public voted them into the house and the public is also responsible for all evictions. The great thing is that the show is on 7 days a week and evictions take place on Sundays. The grand prize is $100,000 plus 2 cars and some trips. It's on the internet 24/7, but I've yet to find anyone doing live feeds. Ugh.... Anyhow, I just wanted to know if anyone else has been watching this show.

Scorpiomoon, Hi, I'm from Laval. Loft story is on channel 35 or 5, depending on the area (I get Videotron), at 7 pm for a half hour. I've never seen it, but might just try to catch a few shows.

I prefer the concept of this show than the " Occupation double" one. At least they alternate in evicting a male and a female each week wich completly changes the group dynamics.

I agree Badabing. Occupation Double is kind of pointless once they have voted all but one guy off the show. Now he gets to evict one girl each week, but we already know who he plans on keeping until the end. Weird.....however, I'll keep watching because I'm a reality addict. As for Loft Story, I really hope the public keeps Julie(the teacher) in the loft....Lea seems soooo dull. I don't know a single thing about her after 4 weeks on the air.

I hope they keep Julie also, just to P off Mélanie, who thinks she's all that and a bag of chips. As for the rest of those hamsters, i really don't have a favorite, they irritate me one way or another : Samuel & Marie-Laurence are like 2 little puppies running all over the place, Brigitte seems too high maintenance for my taste, as you said Gadz, Léa is the invisible woman so far, Mathieu won't go pee without Hughes' approval, and Mélanie & Hughes act like they own the place and are only permitting the rest of the people to stay. The new guy seems way to bright for this bunch. But like you, i'm also a reality show addict, so i'll keep whining, cussing and watching...lol

Damn it! I want to learn how to speak French RIGHT NOW so I can follow this show!

LOL Scorpio, but the way these hamsters are acting, all you need is good body languange perception and you'll get 80% of the show.

i can speak a lot of french; unfortunately they don't air this in california! i lived in matane and grosses-roches, right on the st. lawrence, in the 70's. i forget, do you get our big brother? which reality shows of ours do you get? thanks! the one thing i do remember is that many sweepstakes and other contests were (still are?) prohibited in quebec, so i am glad they have a reality show for money.

Hi Tabby, we get all the programs you get : BB, Survivor, Joe Schmo...etc and we have some of the British stuff too. As for sweepstakes, we have our own lotto system and in Quebec we have a few gambling casinos now. Better still, we have in house plumbing...lol. You'll have to speak french to us a bit to make sure you have'nt lost it too much.

wow, you get more than we do! we don't get canadian tv and we don't get british tv (well we get 'are you being served?' and 'mr bean' but not current or reality tv). hey, we had in-house plumbing, too. we just had to make sure the people were at home to let us in! and oh my heck. i remember my boyfriend's grandmother butchering a pig in the kitchen from her wheelchair. and when the 11 Dion uncles (who each weighed about what paul prudhomme did) all watched me eat blood pudding for the first time. i ate it but it stuck in my throat. i actually sat with the lump in my throat for about 20 minutes before i went to the bathroom (i mean the neighbor's house, LOL) to try and hack it up!

OMG, I think I'm going to vomit! Damn you, Tabbyking! Just in case any Americans happen to be lurking: Blood pudding is NOT a dish Canadians eat frequently!

Wow....did you guys see the Halloween party in the loft last night. Yikes!!! Mathieu was making out with 3 girls and when Hughes saw Melanie frenching him in the kitchen I swear he had the eyes of a murderer. This guy could become violent soon. Also, I'm a little shocked with Julie making out with Nicolas outside. She's lost control of herself. I can't believe that she will keep her job as a grade school teacher after this show. How can she be taken seriously by the kids after all this stuff? Also, I think Marie-Lawrence is a girl in a man's body. She shaved her hair off the second week and she hasn't got any feminine ways whatsoever. I think she shaved her hair so the guys wouldn't approach her, which is exactly what happened. She's like a little child. And did she only bring one set of pajamas? I see her in that awful blue get-up everyday. Yuck!!! Let's hope Julie stays in on Sunday. Can't wait for the big show.

Well Tabby, you'll have to try it again (blood pudding) with "oreille de christ" and green chow-chow... its a feast fit for a king...lol Yes Scorpio,Hughes was a littel p'd off at Mathieu for exchanging spit with Mélanie...and i also hope Julie stays Sunday.

i think i might have taken to the blood pudding better had i not been in the kitchen when wild granny butchered the pig! i think where they lived, 450 miles of montreal and heading toward the Gaspe, they really did regularly eat blood pudding, head cheese and the like...they really were pretty self-sufficient, growing produce during their one warm week (ehehehe) and canning like mad, smoking hams, etc. it put me in mind of little house on the prairie and it took all 4 months that you weren't freezing your buns off to get ready for the 8 that you did freeze 'em off! i think granny was about 80 when she butchered that pig...and it was our secret that she really didn't need the chair all that much when we were the only 2 about, she was on her feet all the time LOL but when one of her 11 strapping sons was around, she was all helpless and they all fought to do her bidding. one smart old lady, i think. p.s. do not eat homemade tomato soup when someone is butchering a pig 6 feet away. and yes, the squealing WAS probably me.

Did anyone find it strange how Nicolas treated Julie on tonight's episode? He was practically having sex with her 3 days ago and now he was totally ignoring her. I'm so glad she didn't get voted out. I hope she wins the whole thing in the end.

Hi Gadz. I think Nicholas got close to Julie before as a game plan to gain the public's favor, trully thinking Julie would be voted out and he would look better having been the only guy to get close to her. He had said before going in the loft that he had a thing for Léa, so he probably thought she would be fair game after Julie's eviction, but it backfired on him.

I agree with your assessment badabing. Nicolas is totally being a jerk. I'm thrilled that they nominated Hughes tonight. I feel a major temper tantrum coming this week. He said that he'd blow up at Julie. Let's see if he goes through with it.

I don't know if he will, but i think the public will vote him out because of his bully ways, and by ricochet the public will be getting back at Mélanie, who in my opinion is a witch with a capital B. On another note, Marie-Laurence, who appears to be immature in interraction with the others, seems to be the most mature and most grounded in the confessional. Go figure.

I think that Marie-Laurence might be acting the way she does in the loft as a strategy. She probably doesn't want the others to know that she's had a game plan all along. Melanie is the biggest backstabber in there. Always complaining. It drives me crazy. I also found Nicolas's reaction tonight super strange. Is it possible that he's gay, but doesn't want to come out on television? It's so bizarre.

Yeah, Nic sure is acting strangely. I'm anxious to see what Hughes' reaction will be to Mélanie telling him he's her man inside the loft but maybe not outside. Hope he wakes up and see's she is just using him to get the money, but i guess that is the bottom line...win, win, win. If i were Mélanie's friend on the outside tho, i'd watch my back from now on, as you say, she is quite the backstabber.
