Big Brother UK

[QUOTE=molds13;314711]Does it bother you that they're using people like The Situation instead of famous people from the UK? It bothers me just reading that he's going to be on and I don't even watch BBUK. I think he'd be ridiculously out of place...[/QUOTE] There is always a couple of Americans in each season. Tara Reid, Micheal Madsen, Dennis Rodman, a few Jacksons. Actually Dog the Bounty Hunter was supposed to be the 14th housemate but he was denied visa because of a murder conviction.

Maybe it's just because the Situation (and Tara Reid, and Dennis Rodman, and all of the Jacksons) are cringe-worthy celebrities in my opinion. Not who I'd want representing the US.

Can't say I'm that excited, but then again its something to watch. This is the rumored cast, I expect it too be wrong. [spoiler]Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt - The Hills Frankie Dettori - Horse Jockey Gillian Taylforth - Soap actress Rylan Clark - X Factor joke contestant Lacey Banghard - Topless model Ryan Moloney - Australian soap actor Tricia Penrose - Soap actress Jim Davidson - Comedian. Last time he met the host Brian was on Hells Kitchen where he was kicked off for his homophobic attack on Brian. Paula Hamilton - Appear on a commercial 30 years ago, has since lost her front teeth, very unstable. Sam Robertson - Actor. Claire Richards - Popstar [/spoiler]

Your one and only amazing youtube source for all your BBUK needs. haha i'm Canadian so I don't get it on tv either... but i found this youtube channel last summer before BBUK13 began and it has been fantastic! uploads usually 1-2 hours after airing on tv, and includes all the specials/after-shows (BOTS) .. ENJOY!! [url=http://www.youtube.com/user/BigBrother13UK2012]BigBrother13UK2012 - YouTube[/url]

Lindsay Lohan is in London for NYE. She is rumored pretty much every season, so you never know she may be sticking around for the month. [url=http://www.tmz.com/2012/12/29/lindsay-lohan-staying-home-new-years-eve/]Lindsay Lohan -- I'm Staying HOME on New Year's Eve | TMZ.com[/url]

I wish there was Celeb BB in the US. :/ Or at least a way to watch this in the US. I heard though that apparently the format in the UK version is different from the US format, can someone explain?

Therefore it is much more difficult to create stable alliances, since most ppl just nom who they prefer themselves. -Housemates actually sound normal in confessionals... it doesn't sound scripted and super edited like the US version :P I'm sure there are a few others, but those are the main differences!! And there is always tons of drama!! So don't worry about the "no alliances" thing, because somehow these guys always manage to create chaos inside the BB house. Oh yeah and one more thing... their house is amazing compared to the US house!! (although the new BBAUS still wins for best bb house ever)

It's always hard for me to gauge how famous the British housemates actually are because they really hype them all as if they're A-List. Whenever I see any hot, young girl on I just assume she's actually far from a "celebrity". Just based on how they've all been hyped, it seems to me that the most famous people to go in so far have been Vinnie Jones, Stephanie Beacham, Julie Goodyear, and Michael Barrymore. Any British Vevmoers, would I be correct?

Vinnie Jones Mark Owen George Galloway Michael Barrymore Coleen Nolan Martin Kemp Natalie Cassidy Julie Goodyear Denise Welch Cheryl Fergison The last 5 were main characters in one of the two main soaps, so they are very well known but not exactly A-list. In fact most of them are probably better known by their characters name, especially Cheryl and Natalie.

I know Jade did very well until she went on CBB, and Kate is on a popular radio station, but I don't really know much about what most of the others have been up to since their series ended.

Alison from BB3 is the only person I can think of that really managed to make a lasting career out of appearing on the show. She became a correspondent on the main morning show, and from what I know is still doing that. Imogen from BB7 got a few presenting jobs recently after it came out that she had been giving a gagging order over an affair she had with a famous footballer. I would imagine she is the most followed on twitter. Anthony from BBCH won bronze at London 2012 in the Boxing. Apart from them, everyone else has faded into the abyss, some fast than others. I'm more impressed by what the hosts have gone on to do. Dermot hosting The X Factor, James Corden winning the 2012 Tony Award for Best Leading Actor and Russell Brand didn't half do well for himself.

Starts tonight, this is the opening night "twist": [url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/big_brother/4724551/six-celebrity-big-brother-housemates-to-live-in-basement.html]Six Celebrity Big Brother housemates to live in grotty basement | The Sun[/url] I'm wondering if it really is a basement, or just an adjacent room they are calling a basement. Because it would be pretty cool if they have made the house multistorey. In other news. Comedian Jim Davidson, who was a definite for going into the house tonight, is no longer going in due to the fact that he was arrested yesterday afternoon under suspicion of child sexual abuse.

I think the fact that they have to wear name tags going into the house says a lot. Paula thinking Ryan was a production chaperone when he walked in was rather hilarious though.
