Big Brother has confirmed that there will be two special live shows, tonight (Channel 4 8.00pm and 9.30pm). Hosted by Davina McCall, housemates will be given a dilemma. It will involve a large sum of money and the housemates' decision could change one of their lives….
All will be revealed in tonight's shows.

Unaware of the difficult decision they will face tonight, housemates last night were still busy completing the swimming task. Housemates passed and completed 7556 laps of the pool in a total of 20 hours and 20 minutes. The house has been rewarded with a luxury shopping budget.


That's it... I officially give up with Big Brother. I'm bored **** with these tasks and the new guys that have entered are boring as hell.

Bye then.


For me tonight's twist is the first thing which has really sparked my interest - it is definately required IMO.

Would this story have any relation? From Digital Spy:

Quote:
Richard Branson is being lined up to make a special appearance in the Big Brother 8 house, according to a report today.

Producers hope that the businessman will pay a visit to set the housemates a task because his company Virgin Media has agreed to sponsor the new series.

A source told the Daily Star Sunday: "What better way to show how pleased we are having him as Big Brother sponsor than by having him on the show? It will be a huge surprise for the housemates this year.

"We are planning to have Richard give the contestants a task - probably something business related. He will stay the day seeing them do the challenge and return 24 hours later to reveal who the winner is. And he'll hand them a special reward."

That's it then, maybe Richard Branson is entering the house tonight and giving the housemates a task involving a cash prize. Perhaps an Apprentice style task...?

Not that he needs it, but of course fellow "media-mogul" Jonathan is not in it for the money.

That's just made up trash IMO - Virgin are sponsoring it so someone at the Daily Star jumped to conclusions.


I doubt he'd be allowed on the show anyway - sponsors aren't allowed to have an influence over the editorial process.

There was an extremely controversial bit of editing on last night's highlights show during the Carole/Nicky argument, which seems to have backfired on Endemol because it went badly wrong.

Basically they butchered the whole argument to make Nicky look less aggressive, and in doing so they did something called a "jump cut", where the action on the left hand side of the screen occurred at a different time to the action on the right.

Trouble was, they did a really bad job of it and the person on the right (not sure who it is) walks to their left and literally disappears into the "seam" - effectively walking into a time warp!

There's a full explanation of what happened and a clip here (shame about the quality) - watch the person on the right in the foil blanket as they move to their left.

If you're quick you should be able to see it on the repeat showing on E4+1 right now (if they haven't taken the scene out).

Dodgy or what?!

It'll be extremely amusing if Jonathan wins the money.
