OK, I guess there are a bunch of Big Brothers going on right now includign Australia as well.
I watched an episode of the UK version and I saw a bit of the African version this morning.
They are very boring.
Is this on nightly?
I watched the UK one where they got a horse.
The US version is only on a couple times a week and I guess because they can feed off more material it is far more entertaining. I dunno, maybe I just saw a bad episode. I need to watch a few more I guess.
Oh yeah, I guess they sent a dude from the UK group to the African house. Are they doing the opposite as well?
Ours starts I think on Monday, or sometime next week.
-
It is on every day yes. There is even a channel where you can watch it virtually 24 hours a day! :eek: A guy from Africa also came to the UK for a few days although they have switched back now.
The first evictee from the UK BB house has just entered the Aussie BB house in the hopes of spicing things up there.
-
it really is so boring even with channel 4\'s editing, but since theres not much else on i usually wach it
-
The US one is a lot better, but I really think it\'s just because it\'s not nightly. When the first Big Brother happened it totally bombed because they had it on every night and it sizucked.
The other two have been a ton better. I mean it\'s mindless television, but it is definitely better when it is on every couple of days.
-
The problem lies with the people they pick to go in the house.
If they chose say a priest and a satanist (just an extreme example) it\'d be a lot more interesting than a gay scottish guy in denial, a woman obsessed with blusher and a fit blonde with absolutely f*ck all personality.
Just look at the Dutch example, they put in anyone and get brilliant results.
Channel 4 have been getting worried about falling viewing figures and lack of interest, that\'s because it\'s actually more interesting to watch the God channel because of their poor contestant picking.
Bring back John Tickle, a man so boring he was interesting!
-
true
i was thinking the other day how much money chanel 4 will actually make out of this - it must be a massive ammount
they charge lik 40p a text - and thats just a poll to see who u _think_ will be evicted, then you can "liten live" to the house - who the hell would pay money to do that!! =][
-
The UK one sucks, it sucks so bad that we (Australia) now have the first evictee from the current series (UK) in our house as an intruder/guest. The UK one is so boring, I have seen bits of it on UK TV and I have to say it sucks.
The Australian one is so much better, I think this series (#3) is the best yet. The people are more real, more interesting and just overall more fun.
-
The secret to an entertaining house has to be adding nutters and more alcohol.
They also need to stop blanking the sound out every two minutes, it kind of defies their whole claim of seeing everything when you\'re still at the mercy of an editing man with delicate sensibilities.
Although people would start sueing everybody if that was allowed, the compensation culture is turning this world into an insane mess of tossers and lawyers.
-
Well I have seen some episodes of Australia floating on the net so maybe I\'ll try to see it. We don\'t get any other big brothers here in the states.
-
Does the US have its own Big Brother?
I\'ve been hearing about the African, Australian and UK ones the most.
-
I think we are on Big Brother 4. It starts this coming week.
Looks like the other three big brothers started at the same time a month and a half ago.
-
Best of luck in having interesting housemates, the UK one induces coma fairly quickly!
-
the last two have been good. The first one is the only one that bit.
-
New just in!!!!!!!!!
The UK Big Brother live eviction show that should be on now has been cancelled due to a bomb scare.
LMAO :laughing:
Looks like the live on air voting has been fuxored then. Maybe they will do it on another day instead.
-
do u know it was a bomb scare?
why do they just randomly cut out the audio in the live coverage - weird =]
-
The found a suspicious package and everyone was evacuated including the housemates. They are back in now though and the eviction will take place today.
-
Hehehe, its kinda funny how all the Big Brothers started at around the same time.
I also have to say that the designers of the UK house are totally whacked, either that or I just don\'t understand British architechture.
I am very upset with Annoushka (the first UK evictee thats now invaded the Australian show). She made out that she was a massive slut and that she would toy with everyones emotions and be a downright bitch from the get go, but she has done absolutely nothing, she is so boring, she isn\'t even hot, and her accent would drive anyone crazy.
-
The Africa house looks almost exactly like the US house. The UK house looks very odd, I agree. Haven\'t seen the Aussie house yet.
-
Well I\'m watching the aussie one now.
Do they still let the public vote the people out?
They don\'t do that in the US one. THey did the first year, but haven\'t since.
The anouska chick is pretty hot.
-
i thnk the UK house is quite cool looking - nice and spacey =]
but the people are just plain boring
-
That anouska chick went to my school and is best mates with my girlfriends sister. There were pics of her puppies in the paper the other day!
Apparently, the US one is going to be very exciting! People are gonna get put in the house, and when they walk through the door, who\'s gonna be there? Their ex boy/girlfirends!! Now that would be entertainment

Yeah, the public vote via phone and sms each week, depending on who is up for eviction (housemates vote for eachother, then there are normally 3-5 people up for eviction each week).
I\'m pretty sure the format is the same as the US one.
Yes, she\'s ok, she got up to some naughty naughty stuff in the spa with Vincent on Friday night and now she is regreting it. The funny thing though is he got evicted last night...
-
Public don\'t vote in the US one. They have a competition to see who is going to be the leader of the house. THe leader puts up two people. The house guests vote on which of the two to vote out.
I saw that about the X\'s.. That\'s just whacked. Should be for some descent entertainment if they hook up with other members and stuff.
-
Geez, the US one sounds very different from Australian BB. There is no leader, everyone is equal, but because there are so many different personalities it just creates conflict, which thus creates good television.
Ours finishes in about two weeks, there are only 4 original housemates left (5 including Annoushka).
She, BTW, is a downright filthy flirt.
-
But with the leader it creates conflict because one single person has to put up two people to the chopping block for a vote.
MUCH MUCH better this way. The public voted off the good people the first one and it ended up crappy.
-
yeah, we tended to be left with the boring personalities with the last two, but this one is really different, as there are still a few BIG personalities left, which is making it very interesting.
I would love to see the leader format though.
-
The uk one must be the worse one it really sucks, and it doesn\'t help that the British public are complete idiots and vote out the person they dont like!!!, the person they dont like is the person that will cause the most trouble hence keep them in!! urg, so annoying =]
-
LISA OUT! :D
-
AHHHHHHH!:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
-
Jo Anne, the 6th person from Aussie BB to be evicted, who is also a Ralph Magazine cover girl, is apparently going to the British BB because the ratings are oh so bad over there.
Here is a pic, she is hot, but talks funny.

And she tried to tell everyone her hooters were real...
-
I hope you\'re right Racer, the UK BB needs more people like her! :nerd:
-
So Kurt what did you think of Tania?
She was ok...Anouska having 3 in a tub romp with 2 aussies on the aussie version...that was cool.
but I can imagine it now...3 in a tub romp with Gos...:laughing: well would there be enough room for the other two?
-
Tania was ok, she seems a bit too "high maintainance" for me though.
If Gos shared a bath with someone all the water would overflow!
-
ha ha ha well said mate!
me and the lads used to call him Fat Ali cause he looks like Ali G after he\'s eaten all the pies.
I thought sissy was bloody annoying but fun and Justine was nice but a bit too plump.
Nush gets on my nerves,and steph well she looks like a dyke!
-
Yeah, she is hot, but a bit of a skank too.
-
ch4 are gewtting desperate now!, jons back in ! =]
-
That Euro big brother show is pretty darn boring. Ours seems so so. Not much yet, but there has only been 2 shows.
-
Vid, what did you think of the Aussie one from what you saw?
-
Jon is a god!
He makes me laugh so much!
Ray is just a horny pervert (good on you Ray!) and Cameron...well I think that when he saw women for the first time in his life when he entered the BB House,he should have screwed them all and made the most of it cause he\'s either
a)gay
b)a monk
c)a sad farmer who can\'t get laid
Scott has grown on me and he\'s cool.
Steph and Nush just piss me off cause Stephs a wannabe dyke with a wannabe dyke haircut and Nush is a hippy who is trying to be cool.
-
Steph has a moustache!:D
I\'m glad Jon is back in, he has been the best housemate so far IMO.
-
Have they let housemates comeback once they have left?
-
Jon was evicted about 3 weeks ago but has been put back in for the rest of the program. Nobody can nominated him for eviction and he cannot win, but he hasn\'t told the other housemates that.
-
Sounds all screwed up... Annoushka leaves BB OZ on Sunday night.
-
i really didn\'t watch enough of the aussie one to get a feel for it. The one I saw was when they were putting in the euro chick so that show was probably a little different. I haven\'t gotten an episode since. Maybe I will today and check it out again.
-
did anybody watch the audition tapes of all the wannabes?
they were funny and I was kind of hoping some of the nice females on there had sent dating tapes by mistake!:laughing:
Oh and does anybody watch Bo Selecta?
It\'s normally on on Channel 4 about 11:30
It\'s SOOOOOOO funny!
Just bought the series 1 DVD today.
