For God's sake, can someone PLEASE get Federico out of that house before the rest of the poor housemates starve to death???!!!
For two weeks in a row, the housemates have worked their arses off on the task, only to have Fed mess it up.
Is he doing it deliberately? Or is he just a prat?!

I doubt he is doing it deliberately.

And no I dont want him voted out - Fed is lovely!

How frustrating - Federico lets the group down again.

Is it just me or does anyone else think he could be a mole, chosen by the producers to be in the house to deliberately fail the tasks and leave the housemates with a low food budget, hence create more tension?

Bet next week it will be Jon vs. Fed in the eviction battle. What a choice Smile

I thought Dermot handled it really well, and inimitably too. Kids these days aren't as naive as the previous generation so they aren't too likely to be offended, anyway the Cubs were with their leader and I'm sure they'd have been taken off set before the discussion started if it was felt the discussion was not for their ears, and besides, the discussion wasn't too explicit about sex, more about attraction.

"Also, does anyone know how well BBLB is doing in the ratings. I know the main shows ratings are varying quite a bit, although on average are up on last year."

Not sure about BBLB ratings, but if the show is premiering on Channel 4, the show must be getting around 1-2 million, it has probably taken a small slice of ratings from the news/ The Simpsons (if BBC TWO bring back the repeats, it might give BBLB ratings a boost!) Channel 4 must feel confident BBLB will achieve comfortable ratings for the timeslot.

But BBLB running against EastEnders and The Bill in its 8:00pm E4 slot will dent the E4 ratings.

Alot of commentators don't seem to like Fed. IMO he is one of the core housemates this year and axing him now would be a mistake (as was voting out Anouska). Justine is another one to keep, as she'll reward us in later days, but I think we've seen everything we will do about Jon and evicting him would not damage the show.

I think we should remember the HMs living on £30 a week between them is luxurious compared to what the poor-side residents lived on last year, and Big Brother normally adds additional tasks to win more.

I think a good Saturday Night task would be to call each housemate into the diary room and give them the choice of receiving a £1000 bonus on exiting the house, or an additional £10 to their shopping budget for the week.

Believe me! Cubs are normal kids aged 8-10.5....they do know about sex, and probably talk about it in the playground! I did when I was their age.

Fed's a pain in the burt reynolds... I really wanted to like him, especially as he's a Scot and I don't want to hate Scottish people. Cam's got quirky cool and as for the others, Sissy's Ginger Bruv, Justine's Scary Bruv, Tania's Posh Bruv, Steph's Sporty Bruv - are they trying to find the new Spice Girls? Gos is the ringleader, Scott's Mr Blend-In, Jon's geek chic, Ray is overra(y)ted...

Limited details on the BB website about the teen version. Producers are urgently looking for 18 yr olds (not 17, not 19) to interview soon - The e-mail address is bbtheexperiment@endemoluk.com - the working title for the Teen version.

I think its so unfair they failed their task this week - poor Fed looked really upset and guilty when he realised what he'd done.

For gods sake anyone could have made the same mistake - besides he sounded so sexy when he was reciting the promise thing lol

Hope he isnt evicted next week

I think getting the Cub Scout Law and Promise mixed up is an easy mistake. When they recited them they were similar, but obviously different. I think if the group had lost a task because of a missing "at" or "the" it would have been alot harsher.

IMO the Big Brother tasks are no tougher than those of the first two series, it's just Big Brother is leaving no room for error. In previous series, housemates have been allowed one or two mistakes, but this year Big Brother seems to be wanting 100% accuracy.

Also, tonight's Cabaret seems to have been a success. Was this organised by the housemates themselves or on the instruction of Big Brother? It's a shame we won't get to see much of it as it'll be packaged into the eviction show tomorrow.

VOTE OUT JON - 09011 21 44 05 (or VOTE JON to 85444)

PS: Big Brother Live is now carrying "Sorry for gaps in sound" captions for the first time this series. Previously they had just dipped the sound with no explanation. Also, have C4 got a new announcer. I don't think I've heard him that often before, but he's been on air this week and is a little bit more cheeky than the others.

I agree BB seems to be a lot stricter when it comes to the task - im not suprised some of the house mates are pi**ed off. I think if he had left out a "the" or "at" they would still have failed them.

How will they manage with only £35 next week? Thats only £5 to feed 10 people eacg day.

I think it was a BB decision. The Interactive service had reruns of the guys singing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" and the girls singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You". Hope more is shown tonight.

"VOTE OUT JON - 09011 21 44 05 (or VOTE JON to 85444)"

Done it already. Might do it again before tonight's show. I think that Justine's bitchy streak will redeem her.

PS: Big Brother Live is now carrying "Sorry for gaps in sound" captions for the first time this series. Previously they had just dipped the sound with no explanation."

It was done last year during both C4/E4's live coverage of the house, as soon as the sound was dipped for over 30 seconds, the aston was faded up, and sometimes the duty announcer mentioned that "this is due to legal reasons" etc. Quite a few times, the sound returned while the announcer was speaking! Smile

Also, have C4 got a new announcer. I don't think I've heard him that often before, but he's been on air this week and is a little bit more cheeky than the others.

That guy is one of the main E4 announcers, and he's done relief shifts for C4 for about two years now. Also, there was a new female announcer on C4 duty on Wednesday night.

Marcus Bentley also did relief C4 announcing for a while in 2001 Smile
