Just found a feed to watch Network TEN in Australia, it made me think that E4 Live could do something similar as BB Uplate on TEN. But with all the quiz fiasco, i doubt they would.

Mmmm no! Their BB Uplate is basically The Mint with the odd throw to the BB house! I'd have thought you'd be aware that virtually all BB Aus viewers would prefer the stream uninterrupted.


Much rather have birdsong than pathetic premium rate competitions anytime.



P.S. How do the Daily Star get away with printing such rubbish about the show week in, week out?

Headline: "Ziggy and Thaila's secret dates"

Actual Story: a few people on a forum somewhere think they might have crossed paths because they were both in bands.


Not quite as good as the Daily Star's "fix" classic from earlier in the year, where they concluded the whole show was fixed because a producer said they cast housemates based on certain characteristics back in BB1.

I guess the interview could be done in the 'the house next door' with the house mate exiting via the side door in the chequered room, as the main doors tend not to become open now until the house mates shut the door.

I wonder what would happen if the house mate simply refused to go back in. In theory they could just walk/run out of the studio when told they're going back in. That would rather screw things up I guess.

Firstly, using an alternative studio and making the interview seem secretive would sort of give Charley an inkling as to what may be going on, thus not allowing Charley to errupt.
Secondly, I don't think the housemate would refuse. As long as Davina doesn't tell the HM that the housemates watched the interview, it should be fine! But then the evicted HM might wonder what the point of going out, being interviewed and going immediately back in, was?

There is no point in them doing it unless they do it properly - eviction, booed, proper studio, proper interview clips, proper return!

Though like you Charlie, I do wonder what happens if they don't want to return, especially considering most of this lot (the girls anyway) are only in it for what comes after it.


And it's a chance for me to moan about the studio once again - the evictee will have to be walked from the studio back to the house, half of which will be across a half empty car park.

If the studio and crowd was set up as (almost) everyone agrees it should be (i.e. screen opening up, crowd outside studio away from the house) it wouldn't be an issue.

There's also the risk that the crowd could tell the evicted housemate that the eviction is fake and the housemates are watching from inside. However, it is very loud, and as long as Davina kepps a tight grip on the housemate, it should be ok.

If Charley is evicted, i think the constant booing would drown anything else out.

Quite an explosive program tonight. I think Nikki and Charley are really quite vile, and I hope Big Brother announce why their suitcases were removed, to the other housemates.
I have to say, I like Liam, he's very astute and a voice of reason and logic.
BR
Brekkie
Agree about Liam - calmly works out what's going on without bragging about it Charley style.

Love the idea of the Big Brother Union too - maybe BB should give them a picketing task next week!


Hating Charley more than ever, and while the same probably applies to Nicky, I actually think she's quite unintentionally funny.

Did anybody know that last week, on day 40, Charley used the N-word twice in one evening? Big Brother called her to the diary room to tell her the word could be deemed offensive, but no further action was taken. Producers decided not to broadcast this, but confirmed it happened:
Quote:
"Charley used the N-word as a black woman to refer to another black person. We judged her use of the term different from Emily's. But Big Brother called her to the Diary Room to remind her that this word could cause offence."

I think they have let her get away with a lot of things, and this leniancy takes the piss. Plus, Charley is not a black woman, her mother is English!
