What is going on with Pete? Is he blind to Lea's obvious manipulation? We know how awful she makes him feel, and he's doing her evil bidding.

I think he's got a case of Stockholm Syndrome.

I found it amusing when Pete tried to nominate a fictious housemate 'Dave', I assume that was deliberate of him.

I hope Aisleyne is the housemate who moves, she will be more interesting than Susie. And since Susie has only been there a few weeks it feels like she is a new housemate anyway, at least Aisleyne has been there a bit longer.

Surely it will make for better tv with Susie going into the house as she is the most disliked in the house. The rest of the housemates will be relieved when she leaves but it will be even funnier when/if she returns back to the house - it will be classic to see their faces!

Amusing - but it irritates the hell out of me when the HMs aren't prepared for nominations!


It's got to be Aisleyne to move - though a bit disapointed with the nominees really.

Also, how on earth does Richard keep avoiding being nominated?



In other news the much needed return (IMO) of the secret mission tonight as one HM has to sabotage this week's task!

A tank full of milk will be placed in the garden with 12 plugs. BB will instruct HMs to remove the plugs and then use their bodies to plug the holes in an endurance challenge which will run for 48 hours.

The HMs believe they must keep the milk above a certain level to pass the task - but in fact prior to the task one HM will be set the secret mission to sabotage this week's task as the real weekly shopping task.

Given that this is a TV PRESENTATION forum, I'm amazed how 99.9% of discussions these days are about the CONTENT of the shows... but anyway, enough of my ranting.

Even though what I'm about to ask is about presentation (and not the content *) of Big Brother, this at least seemed the most relevant thread to put it in (being about the same show, an' all).

And it's this: You must have seen it. The subliminal flash-frames that appear in this year's Big Brother (and all its derivatives) title sequences. To wit: (to woo)

*

Now, what's this all about? "NOT FOR TRANSMISSION" ??? And even more strangely, what appears to be a copyright strap at the bottom, but all end with "MMIII" (2003) whereas a similar strap appears on the 'buzzword' flashes (such as "VOMIT", "DESPERATE", "ELECTROCUTE", etc. etc.) ending with "MMVI" (2006).

Is it purely to make people think they've spotted a mistake and seen something they weren't supposed to? It looked that way the first time, but gets more and more obvious as time goes on. I still find it intriguing why they bothered to do it. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

* Mind you, Russell poking a plastic music-box dancer's legs into a piece of plastic dog poo whilst listening to a viewer's call about the veins in Lea's t|ts is surely pure class, and proof irrefutable that TV is all the better for the multichannel age and no regulation. Huzzah and hoorah. Still, nice to see TV that reviews itself live on-air.

I think the title sequence was explained on a website, but i cant remember which one.

Its something to do with George Orwell's 1984 book thing.

You have a point, which is why I think we should request the motto of this site be changed, as in the TV Home forum, it is content we discuss a lot.
RE: Title Seqeunce.... They have put a lot of effort into the fine details like the camera numbers associated with 1984, yet allow the actual show to be ruined.

Crikey Mark Boulton - where have you been? Comes in here, ranting and raving...I don't know. Laughing

Anyway, it is absolutely one of the most laughable disappointments of the year, that Endemol are completely making a balls-up of what could be the best part of this series so far. Carry on like this, and in a way, it spells the end for Big Brother.

The production team clearly aren't bothering anymore and I think this is partly due (not just with the new house building) to so many Health and Safety and various rules and regulations that need and should have gone on before hand. The end seems nigh sadly.

What is it with Elstree?? I mean, is it aiming to be the most sloppiest TV complex and contain the most sloppiest production crew in the world or what? Rolling Eyes

So Imogen is the "secret saboteur" of this week's task and must ensure the housemates fail - and keep her identity hidden - in order to pass the task.

Nikki is first up, plugging the holes with Lea - so the task should be failed within a couple of hours then!
