Big Brother: Brian wins

I don't think there will be a Big Brother3 because Davina has quit and the house is being knocked down.

Endemol who makes the show said it is highly likely that there will be a Big Brother 3. Simply because it has been another ratings grabber.

There's loads of stuff on it on Ananova: http://www.ananova.com

Also, the Big Brother website: http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother is staying open to see what will happen to the contestants etc.

What am I gonna do without Big Brother being on!?!?!?

I always watched the shows, and I'm going to miss it A LOT!! I liked this years better, mainly because I could watch it on E4 a lot, and with BBlb too.

I also left the interactive on, and eventually all I saw was some man in a hi-vis walking around the garden a bit, then sitting at the table outside

As with series 1 we got Davina's standard line to the people coming out of the house: 'Here's your father/mother/friend' - as if they would forget in the time they have been in the house.

I think that for BB3 they'll introduce a blind or disabled person and maybe someone Scottish for the first time.

You might have noticed that for a second year, BB had a contestant from Ireland. Last year this issue was raised in the Dail, with a debate about why they didn't have there own version of the show. BB even had Irish eviction/winners phone numbers. A good ploy by C4 to get attention in Ireland.

Hmm..
E4's coverage was'nt that good - After Helen was 'evicted', Brian was called to the diary room (you could see this on the main screen outside) so, I thought, I wonder what he was being told. Goes back to recording of the last hour today, Brian called into Diary room a couple of nice words to BB, and then long shot of house, and district line train sound effects. What kind of censorship was that..? I understand that during the day you need 'the gaps' due to swareage and such, but with 10 minutes of the programme to go - eh?

Anyway - here's the 2 changes I would make to BB3

1. At the weekly nominations the housemates can ask BB 1 question per week about whats going on in the world. This could then provide some lively discussions.

2. On the week when 6 become 5, ALL housemates will be up for eviction (i.e nominations as usual, however they are told on the Tuesday that everyone is up for eviction that week)

As for a new location - I'm sure there is some spare land round the back of pinewood studios (where they filmed the legendary Babs Windsor Bra scene in Carry on Camping) maybe they'll put a new house up around there.

I enjoyed watching Big Brother 2, but I admit I only started watching it in Week 8, when Helen was seeing the 'stuff' with Paul!

Welcome aboard!

I think the new house will probably be in a different location. There seemed to be a lot of attempts from the outside world to interfere this year - they'll maybe try to change that.

I don't agree with your second idea - I think allowing the housemates to decide themselves for longer provides a more interesting show.

However, I think that being allowed to ask one question about the outside world could make for some interesting viewing. Would they all discuss what they were going to ask beforehand or could they all end up asking the same question?

And to the person who said there would maybe be someone Scottish for the first time... I thought Caroline or Sada from BB1 was Scottish?

I heard that Zoe Ball would take over....

But I don't think it would be the same without Davina.

I would have never thought they'd knock it down - don't C4 own the land?

They do own the land but planning permission runs out in September.

They could always get Dermot O'Leary in to present it next time round - he was really good on Little Brother this year.

Just to point out: Brian is the first person to win BB throughout the world who isn't a heterosexual male

Why didn't you just say. Brian was the first gay man to win a Big Brother? Far easier to understand than all that technical jargon and proper words you used.

(There are other versions I can think of, but I might get banned for saying them?)

Just to let you know what happened on BB Interactive (on Sky) after the winner left...

The switching out of the lights was for the end of the final programme (where 'echoes' of the discussion within the house were replayed, creating a sense that BB was closing down..)

The loud banging, was the fireworks going off, I wouldn't have thought that the house was that 'wafer-thin' (nice quote Dean!)

The service finaly closed at 03:30, however on the in-famous '4Xtra', security guard were seen in the house playing with the swingball that the housemates were given on the final day!. There was about 10 security members in the house.

'4Xtra' cut the feed during the E4 promo period (remember how the adverts used to pop up, the E4 promo popped up too all night!)

Now '4Xtra' is showing colour bars with 'Big Brother' text (this was seen before BB2 started)

What a good show it is, my recommendation for the new presenter has to be Dermot O'Leary or Graham Norton..., or even Denise Van Outen if desparate, or on that line, Johnny Vaughan. Not Jamie Theakson, Zoe Ball, Chirs Evans or Cilla Black.
