What a load of cack. Tasks to get in the house: shaving off eyebrows. Walking on (sugar?)glass. Picking up a phone.

Way to go Endemol.

Edit: Breaking news: just seen this on Twitter.
In order to obtain 'housemate' status, Freddie and Sophie have changed their names by deed poll. Freddie = Halfwit, Sophie = Dogface.

Not that I know much about this stuff, but I reckon sugar glass would be too fragile, and probably toughened glass would be used, which can take loads of weight.

BB website reports sugar glass, telling them that it was glass. Curious.

Either way, it's clear that they just don't care anymore.

I was watching another programme recently where they had people walking on a broken glass. They said it was beer bottles. Apparently its not sore at all.

Sugar glass would break up under foot - so oddly might give more risk of injury.

Not that I watched, mind you.

Right, probabaly the biggest programme MADE by C4 all year started last night. The one thing C4 try to be proud of making themselves (i dont rate it too much, but thought it was worth a watch)
anyway. You would expect it to be on 4OD. being one of their biggest programmes, however it is nowhere to be seen!

THIS is why people cant rely on OD!


Channel 4 don't make Big Brother; Endemol do.

Really, was it really that hard to find?

I got it sent to my inbox by them with their newsletter!

That's no surprise, but what will annoy will be Marcus emphasising it's all fake on tomorrow's show. It's not as if dramas have to tell us that too - most viewers clearly work such things out for ourselves.

They've not really thought lighting through inside the house this year, as most of the positioned cameras that aren't manually controlled behind mirrors, are creating lens glare. Long white strips from the top of the screen right down to the bottom.

Bet at one point the housemates are locked in the bedroom and the cameras/lights are adjusted Laughing

On the highlights show they seem to have got rid of the "Coming Up" clip before they go into the break.

As far as I'm aware that was missing from the Celebrity version earlier this year aswell... I don't like it, makes it seem too abrupt. A bit like ad breaks on most UKTV channels...

That wasn't on there beforehand; I checked that page earlier and the launch show wasn't on there. Thanks anyway.
