Max | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 11:19 am     Not stupid at all, SUgarplum! FOTH = Front Of The House It's because whenever they censor the feeds, we get a shot of the front door. |
Sugarplum | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 11:21 am     Ahhhh! Thanks max. Actually then, I guess they did have that in bbuk- well, kinda. I can't remember if they went to the front of the house, I think they showed us a shot of the chickens! But still, same thing! |
Max | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 11:25 am     Yep, the first season here, they had chickens and we used to get sent to the chicken cam all the time. |
Wargod | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 11:32 am     Last season, they'd occassionally show the lizards. I remember doing a lfp on what they were doing during a competition or rehersal or something. |
Mystery | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 11:39 am     Oh my gosh, chicken cam! I can't believe I had forgotten about that. |
Delilah | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 11:43 am     Sugarplum and Valleygirl, who actually hosts the UKBB's? |
Tissy | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 11:46 am     To go with the chickencam we also get background noises - either birds singing or the sound of aircraft flying above - drives us crazzzzy |
Sugarplum | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 12:20 pm     Delilah, by "hosts" do you mean kind of presents the show? If so, it's Davina McCall (sp?) who is very good (in my opinion). |
Sugarplum | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 12:22 pm     Yup, know what ya mean Tissy. It's soooo annoying!  |
Delilah | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 12:25 pm     Thanks Sugarplum, just wanted to know if I would know him/her a la Jeremy Beadle, Terry Wogan, Cilla Black or Michael Barrymore LOL Just kidding, I know there are a slew of hip new presenters in the UK now, I do get BBCA because I am a transplanted Brit here in the US. Pity I didn't know that I could have watched BBUK on live feeds over here, I just found that out last week, I will sign up next year though! |
Sugarplum | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 12:28 pm     Davina McCall has been quite popular (i.e.- presents nearly every show available on tv) for the last year or so. It seems that all show creators think more people will watch their show if she presents it. To be honest though, you can't turn on the tv anymore without seeing her on *something*. It could get kinda old if this "davina overload" continues. Lol. p.s.- LOL at the idea of Jeremy Beadle presenting bb! |
Delilah | Wednesday, July 30, 2003 - 01:10 pm     Wowsers, I can't believe her presenting our BB, she makes Julie Chen look like Jeremy Beadle LOLOL Yes Sugarplum, I can see two reasons why she is so popular Davina McCall, host of BBUK |
Laisey | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 12:16 pm     Thought I'd make an attempt to clarify the sequester. The producers felt that the DRs shown on TV last year may have influenced the evicted HGs votes for the winner. They also decided to follow the Survivor style of having a jury which excluded the first HGs evicted. The jury will be the last 7 evicted and will be sequestered to prevent them having any knowledge of DRs. All HGs were aware of this before the show, but they were given no details regarding sequestering. Last year one of the first four evicted came back into the game. No one knew beforehand that this would happen. The first three were sent to separate resort-type locations in Mexico and, since the 4th evictee went out only 1 week before one of the evictees would return, he was sent to another location in southern California. The BB4 HGs were given tapes of the previous years' TV shows and have jumped to the conclusion that their sequester will also be at great location. They do not know it has been announced they will be sequestered in a second house and will be filmed. No official statement has been issued regarding the location of the 2nd house or any other details. Someone on another site posted that they had called the production company and were told the 2nd house was on the CBS lot. Personally, I think is a good possibility, but it has not come from any reliable source such as a press release, or any media source. If there was any confusion about all the sequester talk, I hope this helps; if not, just ask a question and we'll try to answer. |
Sugarplum | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 01:02 pm     Thanks Laisey, I had absolutely *no* idea about any of that. I didn't even realise there was a jury for the last HG. Thank you! |
Laisey | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 01:20 pm     Sugarplum. You are more than welcome. A lot of posts on this board refer to things that happened while your BB4 was still going on. Any questions you have, just post them here and we'll try our best to answer; although the answer may very well be "I haven't the foggiest idea either." |
Ric_Munoz | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 01:33 pm     To our UK friends: Now that BBUSA is in full swing on E4, is the foul language censored (the way it is here on the CBS network) or are UK censors equally loathe to air the full (verbal) monty? |
Cp01_Wales | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 01:34 pm     After 9pm British time its uncensored |
Ric_Munoz | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 01:39 pm     That's what I thought...I just didn't want to assume -- thanks, Cp! |
Queenfish | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:00 pm     Why do I read the UKers posts with a silly fake british accent in my head? |
Cangaroo | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:13 pm     Will we get into trouble if we post mis-information? |
Laisey | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:17 pm     Cangaroo, you mean like a penalty nomination? I have no idea; but in all likelihood, a zillion posters will correct you. |
Tissy | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:23 pm     I find it kinda funny that the USbb hgs can refer and talk openly about previous BB contestants. Where as in the BBUK its banned |
Laisey | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 04:34 pm     Tissy, that's interesting. Some of these HGs have said that they had never watched the show. They were all given tapes of the previous shows while they were waiting to go into the house. Since it was so recent, all the strategy and events shown are still fresh in their minds and that may be one reason they mention the previous HGs so frequently. |
Azriel | Saturday, August 02, 2003 - 06:25 pm     Queenfish, ROFL!!! I do, too!! |
