BB FANS

The new Italian BB series begins on January 22nd 2004. Does anyone know if there will be free links to this? I think that there may have been last year.

Larry, any idea?

Also: why cant they all have Subtitles.

I've just had a look on the homepage http://www.gradefratello.com but there is no mention of the new series plus the application form is still available.

Last year there were loads of cameras ,I think it was 7 in total.

As soon as they update the site I'll let you know.
I might try the website for Mediaset Canale 5 as that was the host last year.

http://www.mediasetonline.com/canale5/

They still have the link for the application form.

Last time the Canale5 website carried news of the coming show including some glues of what had been done to the house in the last few weeks before it started.

I have to look again, maybe it's another BB. Sorry.

It appears that the original report is indeed correct.

I have caught the end of the trailer on Canale 5 but haven't see the rest of it yet. I have it on the tv in front of me so it won't be long before I see it all.

Still strange that both the Canale 5 and the Grandefratello websites didn't have anything about it when I looked and still had the 'casting' link that takes you to the application form.
Once it appears on a website I can get a translation.

Thanks Larry.

Ohhhhhhhhh Eddy just figured out it's Alistair Griffin in ur avatar! Wasn't sure before

Hi Jezi .... yes it's the lovely Alistair.

From the Scotsman:
"A PRIEST is set to join Italy’s latest series of the reality television show Big Brother, causing fury among Vatican officials, who described it as an insult to the Church. "

Rest of article HERE

Thanks nicki.

The ad for Grandefratello is strange.
I got an Italian friend to translate for me.
It starts on the steps of a building looking at the people around them ,then moves to an outdoor market again looking at the people.
At the end it says about 'if someone could send them 2 packets of cigarettes' but doesn't say why or where to send them. Then the Grandefratello emblem appears.
There are no dates mentioned. But this is the only one I've seen so far.

I've now see three ads for GF4 the last of which had the start date of January 22.
The Canale5 homepage has also now removed GF4 from the 'casting' list though the GF homepage still hasn't been updated.

I awoke to catch the end of a preview program this morning on Canale5 for the new GF.
Barbra looked very enthusiastic about the new series.
Saw the Priest in a recording studio ,looks a lot like Fredro from GF3 but without the stubble.
If I'd known it was coming on I'd have recorded so I could have watched it in full later.

Also saw Pasquale and Victoria on another show Thursday night.
Fredro was on another show ,this time a quiz show ,earlier in the week.
And Angela looks like one of the dancers in another regular show.

All I need now is a realtime translation device and someone to hack $ky Italia for the live feeds (4 channels + 1 SMS channel last year).

While the homepage still hasn't been updated Sky Italy has an article

http://www.skytv.it/_TVCards/_Intratten ... iv=2&Pos=2

I think it says the show will run for 106 days and that there will be greater comforts and comfort of every kind for the contestants.

All the translations mention a wide atmosphere in the house and something about about a new body.
Also talks about new inivations in the house.

Any Italian members can give a more actuate account of what the article says ?

Remember the show start tommorow night 22nd at 2100 CET.
