BB FANS

Found this site ,it has pictures and video files relating to other BB shows.

http://www.bbuncut.com

I don't know if I crashed it earlier or if it doesn't like broadband speed downloads but it's complaining that I downloaded a file too fast and that it'll rejecting my access for the next 16.5 Hours !!

One word of warning alot of the pictures appear to contain nudity.

Hi Larry...is it mainly just BB stuff you download or are you interested in other programes etc?

I mainly followed BB from what every country I can find either a webfeed (Hopefully free) or a satellite channel (Live feed or just edited hightlights).
I don't follow the fame type shows.

I like to see how different types of people respond in the captive enviroment that Big Brother presents them with. Charactors like Jade and Floriana (Italian BB3 ,a magnified Jade !!) test the others and adds alot of strain to their enviroment even more so when dispite the other contestants best efforts with nominations the public keep them in.
So wheather it's a stressful enviroment or a coissy one when everybody gets on there is always something to watch. Even with UK BB4 they might have got on well during the normal day to day events so not giving the scenes from other years ,it did present them with problems when it can to nominations because they got on so well which is why the planned 'live' nominations was dropped in favour of edited highlights because of the length of time it was taking them. If on the other hand they hadn't been getting on so well nominations would have been alot shorter as they would have found it alot easer to nominate with good reasons.

The other thing is that you don't have to know the language of a different show as you can tell alot by the expressions and general body language. Don't get me wrong I'm no Psychologist ,though I have read a few books ,but I'm quite perceptive to the surroundings and the things going on.

The site in the original post isn't mind but it does have a lot of clips from around the world but it also have software to prevent someone downloading too much which is a pain. Saying that if you take out a free subscription with Usernet there is quite a bit on there but if you intend to download more than the few short clips a day a paid subscription is required to remove the low bandwidth limits.

Another method certainly for the OZ BB is a site called BBRewind that uses the Bit Tollorent Per-2-Per software to let you download the shows as broadcast on OZ tv. I would recommend a Broadband connection as the files a large.

Failing that I have a motorised satellite set-up with a 1.7Metre dish with both Analogue and Digital receivers capable of providing BB coverage across Europe and into Russia.

Given the choise I prefer the main feeds rather than the edited highlights as I feel you get to know the contestants much better than watching how the producers want you to see them. It's easy to change the sequence of events resulting in a totally different perception of a contestant by the viewers. Unfortunatly the majority of viewers only get to see the highlights and therefore are manipulated by the producers. An example is Jonny from BB3 the personality that came across in the C4 shows is different to that that was seen on the feeds. Have a listen to a radio interview with him on this subject which I think is still in the BB3 section of my website (MP3 recorded off Radio Northampton) and you'll hear what I mean.

I know over the years I've spent too much time watching the format ,but if it wasn't for the audition format this year I would have reapplied. I'd really love to experience BB as a contestant ,though just how others would react to some of my views is another matter. I'd imagine getting into trouble for being critical of the production and talking about other shows. Even a couple of weeks would be amazing.

Where's Larry gone???????

Still here

Have been watching of the 'Freak' show but after two days I switched back to watching BBOZ.

In case you used to follow it Krystal was Evicted Yesterday.

I for one much prefer to watch more 'normal' people going through the experience than that bunch we have got.

Must remember to cancel by channel 4 broadband account.

Oh good I'm glad. Thought you'd gone, without a whisper.

I'm guessing you don't like BB5 then?!

Let's put it this way ,I've scene more international series that have had me wanting to see more after two days than I have with BB5.
I had the streams running for about 2 days by which time there wasn't much attraction to watch more and I've never know that to happen to any UK BB series before.
I've switched to the OZ series have had the stream running since about mid afternoon Sunday. They are much more watchable and a good 'normal' selection of people rather than social misfits.
If things change with the UK series than I'll have another look ,I'll probably watch the eviction shows and the Saturday tasks.
