Celebrity Big Brother UK
JamesUK:
You know, it occurred to me as I was watching last night's family twist show that you probably would end up being a day behind me, don't worry, no spoilers though!
I'm guessing you've probably seen it now though? It was no surprise to me at all because the papers here have been full of this particular story since before the show even began!
That's one thing that's very interesting about BB UK- it's basically a national event now every series - every newspaper and TV show is full of BB news throughout the summer here in the UK whereas for some reason I don't get the impression that it's such big deal in the US.
I've always wondered whether this is because our guys are on our screens every night for 12 weeks and also 24 hours a day on E4 - that's one thing I did always wonder about the US version, why only 3 shows a week when there is so much to fit in (HOH, Veto, Elimination!)
I've never watched the live feeds from BBUSA but I get the impression they'd fill in quite a lot of gaps which 3 hours a week just can't fill!
Hope you enjoy the live family show guys - I'll be sitting down in an hour or so for tonight's installment!
Cheers
James

I just got all caught up with the live shows yesterday, and it was fantastic! Still, I knew from speculation that Jade was going in, so that was no shocker for me. But a surprize eviction will happen on Wednesday! Whoopie! Evict Jackiey! Something about her I just don't like.
Yeah, Big Brother here in the US has a bad reputation. Reality TV is looked down upon as un-ethical, and locking people in a house is even worse (to the media). I keep reading articles in newspapers and online entertianment sites wondering why the show is still on. Thankfully, Big Brother 8 USA has been greenlighted (as far as I know).
BB1 in the USA used to follow the same format as they do in Britian. A daily show every night, nominations by each contestant in the Diary Room, Viewers vote to evict housemates, etc. The viewers here got so confused how it all worked that they voted out all the interesting people and only the boring stayed. That's why they changed the entire format in BB2. They do have live feeds, and they always have loads of strategy talk on them, but CBS is too stiff when it comes to air their show (they want to air other shows), so they cram it all into thrice-weekly one hour episodes. I would love to see daily shows, but, maybe, it might turn off viewres from the channel completely if they see that BB is always on.
Can't wait to see the next episode when it becomes available for us. I heard what happened to Donny. Uh-oh! :naughty:
Jeffrey Scott:
Donny! LOL, what a laugh. Was there a moment in the house he was not liquored up? He doesn't even remember entering the house. I wonder what inspired him to go in in the first place.
I agree TheCinere, Jackie needs to go and I'm sure she will be the one to go. No one is going to keep her over one of the celebrities or Jade or Jack. I think it'll be a landslide. Of course, I'm not so sure how many votes Ken will get. he seems to be a really good sport about things so that may give him a few votes.
As for the hosue next door, they seem to be taking things in great stride. Wow, I'd forgotten how old Dirk actually is now, still I'm pulling for him to win (I love it when a plan comes together). Oh, and I LOVED his house enterence. Even Davina thought the A-Team enterence was fun!
Wow, are most American missing a great show!!!!! I'm axiously awaiting each episode.

I agree with you 100%. Must. Recuit. More. People.
Now, any of you heard the latest news about Ken? Oh no! It's like BB7 all over again.
Donny is a hoot. Getting drunk on the first night was hilarious, but it will still hurt him in the long run.
JamesUK:
Good old Donny - I knew he wouldn't last long, LOL!!! Although escaping via the roof is a bit of a cliche now (anyone remember Sandy from a previous BB series, I think he was the first...)
As for the whole family thing, well to be honest it's nearly put me off watching now. Jade was entertaining in a car crash way during her season and since then I've tolerated her spin-off series about opening her beauty salon, "creating" her own perfume and hiring an assistant, "Apprentice"-style...
But for her to come into the house and claim that she's in the paper every day, "at least twice a week on the front page", that she sells more magazines than Victoria Beckham ( :lol: ) and that she's the 25th most influential person in the world (WTF?) is at best completely delusional and at worst absolutely obnoxious.
And as for her godawful mother and cheating rat boyfriend, well they can get lost too as far as I'm concerned - we already saw more than enough of Jackiey following Jade's eviction from the house first time around and she's definitely outstaying her welcome in the public eye over here. These really are the worst type of people, completely brain dead morons who somehow end up in the public eye and think they've become important.
I guess it's probably hard for you guys to appreciate just what trash Jade really is but as soon as she opens her mouth it's pretty obvious to me!
[Rant Over!]
