Damn these busy schedules.

If this topic already exists, as I suspect it does...sorry, and delete the previous. This will be the official thread for BB Finland this year.

Starting date will be August 27th. I remember mentioning, that we have an astrolog this year. Here's a translation of a short news piece:

Big Brother comes back on August 27th. The housemates have been selected and there will be something new in season 4.

For the whole season an astrologist will be present. Taija Uusitalo, who has compiled the profiles of the contestants.

-Compared to previous years, it's going to be a whole different bunch of people. Exciting and challencing characters, and there's also a couple of really good relationship-players, says Uusitalo.

No news of whether we'll have a completely new house or not. I'd be willing to bet, we will.

[antos]

Some news about the house was released today. It will still be located at the same place, but the news is telling that it will be completely re-vamped. I take these news, that we will indeed have a new house.

[Captain.Remy]

Yay welcome back Antos !
Thanks for these infos yet, it sounds very interesting so far. Thank God they changed the house.

BB3 was my favourite season with Kadi (the winner for me).

[Eamonn-BB]

Thanks. Although for a couple of weeks more I will only be able to pop in every now and then. I just moved, taking a lot of my time at the moment.

I was also rooting for Kadi. Too bad, she didn't win.

Kadi was in the news recently. Just a little piece, for jumping bungy.

Official way is live feeds. Unofficially I will make daily shows and possibly Extra available on torrent.

You're a king.
Can't wait to see the new house rebuilded for the 4th series.

[bigbr0ther]

Oh, I can't wait! Is this in English?

[antos]

Didn't want to make the last reply too long, so I made a new one for this:

Janne Kataja, the host of BB Extra, has given some snippets of what can be expected. I'll just translate the most important comments here.

– I'm really excited, we've got a lot of new stuff on the show. Especially I'm excited about BB Extra transforming almost completely.

– If something corny has happened in the house, our goal is to tell about it in a less serious way. At the moment it seems, like we'll also have the ever so popular parody and scetches of the HM's. In those scetches we'll look into the action in the house with a little grin.

Furthemore we have an agreement with Big Brother, that we will participate in the work in the control room every now and then. From there we'll make things happen in the house, together with the viewers.

The house, that has gone through a facelift gets millions of thanks for its new style. It's not only cosmetic, there has been big changes.

– The renovated house is really fantastic, I think. I don't want to give too much away, but the changes made are really radical!

Btw, Janne got married and had a baby-girl during the winter.

Still in Finnish, I'm afraid. I will try to make subs, the delay would probably be about a week or so.

[antos]

The logo for this year looks like this:

[spanish20]

antos, could you give me your mail by PM? Thanks!

[antos]

Today Sub (the channel of BB) aired a 30-minute special of the castings. I have it on computer. I'll add English subtitles to it, it will take a couple of days though...I've never subtitled before, so I'll expect one day to go learning.

I'll probably upload the special to Youtube.

I have to say...some very interesting applicants appeared in that special. One told, she wants to have a tail...another told she's seen an UFO. If I had to place a bet, I'd say this season will definately be the most interesting of BB Finland.

Oh yeah...one of the applicants said she will parachute into the house if she wasn't selected.

[antos]

The new website has been opened. Here are the first pictures of the new house:












HM's to follow, as soon as they're all in. The kickoff is in progress atm, and live feeds have been opened. For techical reasons I won't be able to get the feeds for about the first two weeks. I'm just following the situation on the website.

I think the new house looks really cool!

The HMs:

Age: 24


Age: 19


Age: 21


Age: 33


Age: 23


Age: 22


Age: 22


Age: 20


Age: 31

Age: 28


So, 13 HMs entered the house this year.

One HM was already kicked out before anyone had gone into the house. Florence was replaced with Marianne just before they were ready to go. Picture below:

She did something against the contract. No word of what she did.

And to add to the HM-post...there might be a chance of more HMs entering within the first couple of days. If this is true then maybe at some point we'll have a double-eviction or two. Remains to be seen.

[Matt]

Love the house, it looks great. I'd count that among my favourite international BB house designs.

I'm presuming this is the diary room:



The chair looks like a pair of lips

[antos]

Yeah...the DR design aims to be sinful, I think.

Btw...the house also has a second floor. Upstairs is a VIP-room or something like that. Here's some sort of a tour of the house with the host of Extra:

Obviously it's in Finnish and no way of adding subtitles. But you'll get a glimpse of the house and the room upstairs.

[joakouru]

Thanks Antos for all the information

I love the new house!!

[noahman]

Cant wait for the torrents

[antos]

The first nominations are going on...they're fake though. Obviously the HMs don't know that, they think it's real.

[Conor]

Greta new house Very green and pink though. The housemates all look good too

[antos]

Today the HMs got their first weekly task. They are having a healthy week, as they were told to take all nicotine- and sugar-based products as well as coffee and tea to the storage room. Alcohol won't be on the menu either. They will have to eat vegetarian only.

Big Brother have also let the HMs believe, that this would last for the whole 3 months.

Last night they had a welcome-party, where they had quite a bit of alcohol to drink. It got mildly wild towards the end of the party. There was plenty of snoggling going on, also between two guys and two of the girls went topless. This bunch certainly doesn't seem to be shy.

Unfortunately I had a problem with the recording, I only got the first part of the kick-off.

I'll edit the opening title and the proper tour of the house out, and upload them to YouTube. Here's the opening title:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo5zmXPF5tM

I will look into the recording problem and fix it. So the torrents will start from day 2, I'm afraid. Unless I can find Day 1 somewhere off the net.

I'll post short introductions of the HMs tomorrow.

[antos]

The HMs will have to wait until the live talk show on Sunday to find out who they have nominated for eviction. Also the HM to be up for the fake-eviction has been pre-selected. This HM will be given a task, which will remain a secret until the time of the eviction.

The cigarette and coffee ban might make things a bit interested. Almost all of the HMs either smoke a lot or drink coffee a lot. A few of them both. With both substances gone, they just might start loosing their temper. Niko has already snapped a couple of times at his fellow HMs and Big Brother.
