Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I paid for it last year and it made such a difference as well. Desmond has shot himself in the foot before he even started. You would think that he would have made the fans happy and got them back on board as he would want to get the ratings but he is making a really bad mistake before he even starts

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Isn't there such a thing as 'facebook credit hack'? that will be interesting in how we decide who gets voted out and who wins this year :)

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Dont have a clue as I dont have a facebook account and wouldn't join either just for bb. I think I will watch BBUSA online as It starts Thursday and you can get live feed on line as well

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

If someone mentions their facebook/myspace/whatever social stupid site to me. I just blank them :)

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I just want live feed but we wont be getting it. He should have not bothered buying it from Endomol if that was his plan only showing bits of it. :mad::mad::mad: and then to add insult to injury putting Jedward in the house as well

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

So, apart from the voting out via facebook bit, Channel 5 are providing almost exactly what Channel 4 did on their own website?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Yep looks like it. I think but not to sure if Channel 5 are going to even give the bit of live feed that channel 4 gave us. Nothing is really very clear yet :(:(:(

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

No one's ever provided the live feed for the 'celebrity' version though have they?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I remember live feed for the celeb one when Jade was in it. The year after that the live feed was cut for the celeb and the ordinary one

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

just been reading that there going to be NO LIVE FEED

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Off topic slightly, is it tonight Big Brother USA starts?? if so I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Edit, yes it is tonight.

Any one know that Big Brother will start on Channel 5?

I know it sometime in August.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5

http://www.bbspy.co.uk/news/0710/ker...-celeb-bb-deal

Kerry Katona will be a housemate on the new series of Celebrity Big Brother after accepting a deal worth £250,000, the People reports.

The reality TV star and former Atomic Kitten singer has been open about her money troubles, claiming last month that she owes £350,000 to her management company CAN, who she has since split from.

They give us Jedward and now her and cut the live feed. Cant get any worse can it :mad::mad::mad:

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I read this, I am so happy, I love Kerry Katona

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I hope she is first to be voted out

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Before Jedward? You've changed your tune :D

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Well having her in the mix of ones supposed to go in then she will be the first one to be evicted and that will do me fine. Jedward yes I would like them to be gone as well but cant have it all so her first and then them. In saying that if there is no live feed what so ever then I dont think I will be bothered with it.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Jedwood gone quick? you're joking right, those two idiots will end up making the series, you have to keep the idiots is, people always vote the horrible or annoying ones first but it's those who need to stay in to make the series good to watch, other wise you're left with another series 3 of BB

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Oh no... Jedwood!!!! aaaarrrrrrgggghhh!!!!!!! :shocked:

I can't stand them!!!

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

And Kerry Katona as well and no live feed. Cant get any worse can it :mad::mad::mad:

Five's your favourite channel and you're complaining about BB being rubbish? :Yikes: ... now I've seen everything ...

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Not everything on 5 is crap you know..well leastways it wasn't until now.

Anyway you never answered my question did you?:PP:

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

If all the reports are true about no live feed I dont think you will have anything to worry about your program's Maggie.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Channel 5 is brilliant for US shows. Now we've got... this.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

What U.S. shows are shown on Channel 5?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

5 airs all the latest CSI series first plus the Mentalist.Mind the really best US show Justified is shown on 5 USA.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Well thats me giving channel five a wide birth when it is on. I hated the program first time round and nothings changed for me on that score

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I have seen them aired on other channels as well so really wont miss out. Wont big brother only be shown on Channel 5 ? :erm:

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Err it's the LATEST CSI shows not been shown anywhere in the UK.Not the endless repeats on Sky Living.;)

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Oh right. Didn't know that as I dont watch Channel 5 and dont watch CSI or the other programmes either.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

God, I can't stand Kerry Katona. the only positive thing about her going in is that the public can hate her all over again.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Just when you think it couldn't get any worse it did

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

LOL her mum!

---------- Post added at 17:26 ---------- Previous post was at 17:24 ----------

Different class of viewer a IACGMOOH and a BB one.
BB ones watch to hate. and Katona is the chosen one.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

She'll have a breakdown inside the house then her mum will say something behind her back to the cameras then they'll sell the story to genericcrapmagazine then two months later sell their story of how they made up with each other to Channel 5 who'll make a 'documentary' about it using free clips of their own show so that their shoestring budget for the year doesn't go over the limit, fail to do that and then Sky will buy the rights to any US show they own and stick it on Atlantic leaving C5 to rot.

http://www.bbspy.co.uk/news/0717/emm...h-second-child[I][B]


Doubts have been cast over Emma Willis’s chances of hosting
Big Brother after it emerged that she is expecting a second child with husband Matt.

According to The Mirror journalist Dean Piper – who is a friend of the couple – their baby is due in December, around which time Channel 5′s first normal series of the show is expected to conclude.

If she was going to get the job and now cant take it I wonder who they will give it to?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Justin Lee Collins.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I would actually love if it was as he would be so funny.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Yeh, he thinks he's funny too.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I dont mind him and I can think of worse people to host it.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Brian Dowling being one. Graham Norton being two :)

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Dont like the idea of them presenting it.

Oh God. Brian, the one who thinks his more famous than he really is.

I kept Keith Lemmon out of the question just incase they decided to pick him instead to annoy me.

oh well. Jedward, Katona, Dowling. how depressing can it get?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I doubt that Jedward are really going in with the amount of media attention and panel shows they've been on in recent weeks

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Well, if Digital Spy is correct, you won't want to watch BB then..

It's actually not too bad. a bit 1980's. but it's the kind that the original BB would have used when they first started and would later get complained about when it got updated to something more modern.

None. If they had a career, they wouldn't be on the show.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

That's precisely who would be on a celebrity version of a reality TV show.
It's the ones that HAVE a career that wouldn't be on ;)

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

For those hoping Marcus Bentley would get the voice-over job on the new series of BB ... a trailer for the new series, with his voice on it, has been running on C5 all afternoon. So it looks like you're getting your wish.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I think this programme is an insult to us all. people must be desperate for money to enter into this ridiculous waste of time.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Desperate for their five minutes of fame, I think, but yes, it does seem to be a route towards a year or so of cashing in with dodgy product endorsements, personal appearances and priority entries to nightclubs. Great if you're into that sort of thing, I suppose.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I'm not even looking forward to it with Jedward going in. Think I will avoid this one until the ordinary one starts and if there is no live feed I will completly avoid it. It's not bb without the live feed

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

On the contrary, the best Big Brothers (and the most widely watched) were the early ones, before C4 started wall-to-wall coverage and multiple hanger-on spin off programmes.

The fact that "Nasty" Nick Bateman had been caught cheating made radio and TV news all day and gained the main evening programme a hefty extra chunk of viewers precisely because that was the only place it was possible to see what had happened.

Channel 4 brought about the franchise's slow demise by filling its schedules with Big Brother and Big Brother spin offs and then frantically trying to get the contestants to perform ever more outrageous stunts simply to justify all that airtime.

If channel 5 was able to wind it back to the point where there is some semblance of normal human interaction within the house, and then gives sufficient airtime to cover it, I might - just possibly - be interested in watching it again.

However, given that the UK's pornographer-in-chief is now effectively calling the shots, I'm not holding out much hope.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

i car't wait. Any news about the 24/7 live feed?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

It would be nice if Channel 5 brought it back to basics and as you said normal interactions with people. Was there live feed for the first one as I didn't watch that one but did watch from the second one up?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

The programme wasn't even on 7 days a week in the original series. IIRC there was a 30 minute highlights show Tuesday-Friday, a weekly round up on Sunday night and the extended highlights with commentary by behavioural experts on the Monday.

I think it was much the same for BB2, although there may also have been some live coverage on e4 as well that year. When they began doing 24-hour live feeds it was available to purchase through Real Player.

It's an interesting question though - I can't remember if that was BB 1, 2 or 3 when live internet feeding began. I don't think it was BB1, but on the other hand the news about Nasty Nick was all over the place very quickly the day it happened.

I think the live feed is what slowly choked the format though, more so than anything else. After everyone realised that, for most of the time, there was nothing worth seeing, it became more and more imperative to ramp up the conflict and the antics in the house to try to ensure there was normally something going on.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

im so excited is bblb coming back or has that been axed?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

The live feeds that I watched gave a better view on what went on say arguments and how they happened and also who started them and then when you looked at the highlights they put what they wanted into it to make someone look bad or good and if they wanted to get rid of someone in the hightlights that would be the persons demise. Looking at live feed and looking at the highlight was like looking at two different shows.

For instance a lot of people thought on the highlights that Mo was the most boring housemate and was always asleep but on the live feed he was the one cleaning and helping around the house and Becky was really nasty to him but it was never shown and also he was saying one day how he ran the house for his mum when he was of work and helped out with the younger kids and so they wouldn't get in trouble he would take them out to do stuff with them.

Also on the live feed Rachel was made out to be another bore but she took on Alex verbally while the others stood by and also confronted Becky can her cronnies in the bedroom and Darnell was there and she spoke up to them and Darnell told them they were owned. That was never shown on the highlights. So for me the live feed is what I want to see happen and not what the show wants me to see of there cut versions of really goes on in the house

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I have absolutely no idea who any of those people are. :D

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Fair enough but was just giving the point of the what you get with live feed and what you get with the highlights and how much ends up on the cutting floor

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Series 2 had the red button on E4 and 24 hour feed, with different cameras to choose from. Also most of the daytime was a live feed to the house on E4... It was great. :)

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

i hope big mouth is axed not watched that since davina took over

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5

the best red button was think it was 4. as they had 2 live screens 2 highlights screens. news running along and then stories you can read an even games.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

She wouldn't host it regardless but C5 are doing the upmost minimum for the show (saving the money for more US imports, clever) so whatever it was, it'll be gone.
