This year BB Canada started on March 23rd. In order to get the feeds and watch the show you need to get a VPN account. VPN's change your location (e.g. from the U.S. to Canada) which allows you to get around regional restrictions. A VPN account isn't very expensive and the feeds are free. If you go with a good VPN provider they are very reliable.
There are some American experts at watching BB Canada who I'm sure will be more than happy to help out anyone once it is nearer to starting. It's a great BB and it's definitely worth a look.

Lil- if you know some Spanish, Telemundo is doing a Spanish-language USBB sometime in the next few months (they're doing auditions now, so I'm thinking January)..

Bon: wow, Austin was not animated or interesting during his video. I hope he doesn't think he has a hosting future---he is very dry.

I'm fluent in German, English (although this can be refuted), get along ok in French, and very poor in Spanish. OH and know all the swear words in Hungarian and can understand a wee bit...mostly food items.
I looked into the VPN and think I can do it....so looking forward to BB Ca. I've heard good things about that franchise.

Van congratulated Steve very enthusiastically the first time she saw him during BY interviews right after the show. It was the first chance they had to actually speak to one another and as soon as she saw him she ran up and gave him a really big hug and told him he did great and was really proud of him and she did not hold any bad feelings or grudges about voting her out. She would have done the same. That they would always be friends and stop worrying about it, he just won 1/2 mill - be happy and enjoy it.
Then in her first BY interview she told the interviewer that Steve played a great game, she could not hold a grudge because she would have booted him also. He did what was best for his game. She is a game player and is used to getting beat and everyone doing what is best for their game.

Lil, someone here recommended Hide My Ass for a VPN and I joined up and had no problem with it. I've even extended it now for 6 months so when I go to the States I can watch stuff on my computer. I'm in Canada so needed it for the live feeds this year.
When I'm in the States I can't watch CBS or other American station on my computer, it says I'm in another region. And if I try to watch Canadian affiliate stations, it won't let me saying I'm in the Staes. It's weird, but now I have the VPN.

This has got to be overwhelming (but he's handling it well)...a youtube of Steve last night outside the Rachel party w/ people wanting autographs and pictures.

Just watched Jeff and Vanessa's backyard interview. Phew, I am ready for a drink - she made me crazy. She didn't shut her mouth for a second and is sooo hyper, it's nuts.
I loved Jeff when he was holding the microphone up listening to Vanessa talk to Austin. The faces he made were adorable (Jeff's).

Thanks for the link Gbvcole, it looks like he's having a great time. He wanted a little of this and then he wants to go back to obscurity.

This is a fun and sweet video. As much as I complained about some of them it really was a nice group this year for the most part and they enjoyed each other.

Well since it was based on "smile" that may be why Vanessa was hardly seen, LOL.
It was really cute and enjoyable.

If Vanessa is so "all-fired" happy to see Steve win, holds no grudges, woulda done the same thing, yada, yada........Why did she vote for Liz?

(Mostly Austin, btw, but a small cute part of James realizing how sad he is to be leaving Meg soon.)
