PS, for anyone who is interested, after the show I flicked to 705 and caught a nice little colour card with 'Big Brother' written over it. It got turned off pretty quick (within 2 minutes) and now the screen is blank.


You mean this?

That's the one. Before Big Brother started we got a CH4 card.

By the way, what happens to 705 now?

I was quite suprised no Goodbye from Davina and I remember I think it was when Kate won they had the "Bank Transaction" graphic on the big screen it said BIG BROTHERS BANK with a long line then WINNERS BANK and the line switched to Kates side I liked that but this year Davina didnt even say U've won 50 grand Surprised completely forgetting the prize fund and making more a fuss over how Eugene was going to spend it when he didnt even win!

But anthony was a great dude and Hes from up the North (Like me) and He was a good contestant Good on him

P.S. Always question +1 channels, especially on Freeview, but for someone like me who keeps missing things on the live feed, E4+1 has been brilliant. Watching the final now from inside the house - but they cut to the ads as the winner is announced! It just shows how much Anthony appreciates it!


Speaking of E4+1 they had announcement when they finished live streaming on E4+1.

It's being kept for "Red Button Activity". I've seen in the E4 Music promos today that E4 Music will be interactive - but that might just mean ringing in to select videos.

They could actually put it to some good use tomorrow when the cricket and racing is on!

More 4 will be taking the slot currently rented from C4 by Top Up TV from the Autumn, so the interactive service will remain. I think C4 are also bidding for a further slot on the CC Mux. (If it's another +1, I'd rather see C4+1 than More4+1)

So in theory, Freeview viewers could have six channels from C4 by the end of the year - and we had just one up until May!


P.S. re: Winners bank - they have done it every year, though slightly different each year. This is the first time they haven't bothered!

Well, she did ask what he was going to do with the money, to which he responded 'a big holiday', so near enough I suppose.

what is it with Davina McCall these days? She just can't keep her bias under wraps any more, as seen with her interrogation of Makosi. Contrast that with the way she skirted around the behaviour of the Norfolk nutcase.

A break from tradition this year . . . no "echoey voices and all the lights in the house going out" sequence.

Strange.


I think this may well happen on the Saturday Night Show at 9.35pm on Channel 4 where they are gonna be showing the highlights from today, Friday. At the end of this programme we will probably get the lights dimming and the echoes. ...and don't forget at 9.00pm on Sunday night on Channel 4 is the BB Reunion Party.

Look Anthony, look at the winners bank.... we've could have given you £200k but Eugene decided to take half of the original winnings leaving you the same as him.... What's that Anthony, you only know about three words and can't construct sentences"

I don't think this year's BB has been the best personally. Interesting bunch of people who seemed to be down to earth compared to last years but I reckon its getting more difficult to think up tasks/rewards as each series goes by. There weren't as many hidden rooms, and secret missions didn't last as long as normal.

Of course, I could be wrong and picky, but there was something that just wasn't there for me this time. Confused

lol...

I have to admit, that this year's BB was a bit of a damp squib. Most of the housemates were boring me, and it just seemed to go on and on... I'm disappointed Anthony won, as I feel he didn't do anything to warrant winning BB, but well done to Eugene for finishing second. I thought he was the only truly genuine housemate throughout.

Kemal the cross dresser, Craig the psycho, Makosi the pathological liar, Derek the snob, 'Science the Great', Kinga and the bottle.

Biggest bunch of extroverts ever. I'm struggling to see how they'll top the weirdness of the housemates next year.

They could stick kids in there (oh, wait a minute, that's already been done, and that was a waste of time)...
