Why is this? The consensus among the Big-Brother-watching media pundits appears to be that there is more activity and scandal in the house this year than ever before.

The stuff that's going on in there is certainly giving the tabloids lots to get their nictoine stained teeth into - if you can be bothered to read any of it.

Could it be that in order to generate enough useable film for their wall-to-wall coverage, Channel 4 have sunk to such depths that even the show's fans have become sick of it?

Could be. I think this year should be the last - I don't think they'll ever get the success they had in the second and (inexplicably for me) third year.

I'm still watching it, but I'm not hooked by any means (actually BB2 was the only one that did hook me). For me, a lot of what's gone on in the last week is like watching a Club 18-30 holiday. If that's how you get your kicks fair enough but I've found it boring and tacky. Plus once Nadia starts laughing I can only leave the TV on for about 12 seconds.

You guys have to seriously watch that BB EFourum tonight. Not only does it have Craig Charles in it, which is enough reason but that annoying Russell turned out to be a quality geezer. Kitten was annoying everyone, and he well and truely shut her up. She got upset and stormed out.

You lot seriously have to watch it.

Just been watching Big Brother and there has been a row with Victor and Emma. From what i can make out Victor threw wine over Emma she flipped and the to of them had to be pulled apart by the other housemates. There is talk that Victor hit her but i'm not sure. Victor got called to the Diary room and hasn't been seen again and now the programme is off air!!!!!!!

Victor's life will be made hell if he did strike emma but i can say he did threaten her!!

excellent!

in the first time in BB history, security was called into the house to break up the fighting - SUPERB.

And I missed it!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOO!

I bet the highlights will be heavily watered down

I'm hoping things will progress to an all out blood bath plus hopefully the house partly destroyed by the next food fight.

It was that violent apparently that E4+1 cut much of what was shown on C4 and E4 out. Some viewers also called the police!! (ceefax)

[Russ]

Wusses!

If you want to view the footage then the torrent file is located here:

http://unoriginal.co.uk/files/bbstream.wmv.torrent

Big thank you to stateless over at DS

Edit - I'm getting a steady 86 KB/s at the moment (its 20mb)

[Russ]

How do you play it??

[Shaun]

You need to get a BT client, I use Azureus, available here : http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

Then when you've downloaded it you can just play it with WMP or win amp

[Russ]

I'm not getting anything....Azureus just sits there looking at me....nothing going on in WMP...

[Shaun]

You may have to set your firewall up to use it. once its installed and the firewall allows it to connect to the net, if you download the torrent file again then it should open up in Azureus and ask where you want it to save the downloaded file. Once its finished you can then open it in WMP

[Russ]

Yeah...just noticed...thanks

[Shaun]

All I can say is that I'm glad I wasn't there, it look really frightening.

I bet it'll be really watered down for tonights show
