BB FANS

The maker's of the German version of Big Brother are set to push the contest to a new level by extending the time spent in the house to a year.

Full story Ananova

You bet me to it posting the story.

If last years activities are anything to go by I'd say they run the risk of the first birth on Big Brother. Although Denmark got the first conception ,last's years German series tried to impose a no sex ban and they had the program removed for a couple of days because of the level of sex.

I do wonder if they will be able to keep the viewers for this length of time.
Also how many contestants will the have over this time period ?
Portugal this year had a total of 21 contestants.

Time to investigate a German homepage.

It signs 1,000,000 euro - now apply!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The winner of the fifth Big bread ago relay (start with RTL II in March 2004) gets a million euro as victory premium - guarantees and bar on the hand! That is more, than in the past four relays together one disbursed. So far the profit sums between 90.000 and up to 125.000 euro (at that time still 250,000 Marks) amounted.

The inhabitants will have themselves to compile some million euro hard. Because the coming Big bread ago relay will longer last in any case than all preceding. Hundred plus X days is the Big bread ago slogan 2004. Also the pressure on the inhabitants becomes still larger! It will give hard Challenges. A candidate must place himself alone, outside of the Big of bread ago house of a large challenge.

The Challenges will demand psychologically and physically everything from the inhabitants. The preparations for the new relay run on full speed. At present the Big bread ago house on the MMC area in Cologne Ossendorf is converted. Nothing of the new mechanism and room layout will remind of the old relays.

Also the Casting already began. But also further everyone (from Germany, Austria and Switzerland) can apply starting from 18 years. The applicant elbow can you download yourself here or with that

....and it seems this has gone down like a lead balloon in Germany...

Atricle here

I guess it must have been with Sascha.M who is a strange charactor.

Will have a try and catch some more of the German series ,but with so many series running the programs clash (Sweden ,Germany ,Italy ,Romania ,Mexico).

The 'Stripper' Sandra seems a 'Nice' type, she had two children, gave one to her Mum and had the other one adopted. This story was confirmed by the organisers .
I can under stand why the German audience did a big 'Switch Off'

I think they were planning on the type of response that they had last year .Saying that Kader isn't shy when it comes to it. They said in the launch program that she was once 'Miss Penthouse'.

I think the main problem is that it is too much too soon. Last year the viewer were also treated to a full outdoor strip by Nadja followed by a multi-camera angle view of her showing in the outdoor shower on the poor side of the house. But in the early days the main antics were tame though they more than made up for this later resulting in the show being taken off air for a few days and Big Brother introducing a 3 day sex ban.

I commented somewhere maybe on here that they might well go one further than Denmark who had the first conception with the first birth.
Though I think their choice of contestant is aimed towards them getting sexual or raunchy activity ,but if it's obvious that things are happening too quick or worse just for the cameras then the viewers will continue to leave.
They might be more liberial over they but I think having relationships develope first pulls in more viewers.

We'll have to see what happens next or what the producers try to get the viewers back.

Note Sandra and Sascha.M were the two who had sex.

Sandra after the excerpt

08:15 o'clock,
RTL II decided: Sandra must go. Big bread ago regretted that and remains to. We show, how their involuntary excerpt ran off, where it is, which thinks it of the turbulent procedures? the time in the house, the messages of the boulevard press, their role as a nut/mother. In the today's transmission at 19 o'clock gives a detailed interview to Sandra. Also family and friends will come to word.

Between wood and luxury Strip chop

Sand-race BB time: From the first day on thereby Sandra with Michael and Sascha M. pulls into the provisional Survivor range. Rather fast Sascha M. and them approach themselves? Kisses, Kuscheln, Eifersuechteleien. During a change in the realms range makes it powerfully hot the men with a Strip. But with the time the life shows?am? House effect - problems in the team, longing after the family and its son.

On Thursday evening now had to go to Sandra, although the spectators had rausgewaehlt by telephone Voting not it, but completely clearly (63.7 %) Sascha M.. How does it continue to go with it? Which role plays Sascha thereby?
