Sorry if this has already been posted.

But i just googled Big Brother and http://www.bigbrother.com is new site thats coming soon and its copyrighted by endemol. Could this be where the official big brother updates and live feed will be? or do you think www.channel5.com/bigbrother will get that.

Could be, i hope not cos it would be good for it to have its own website, i dont imagine channel 5's to be very good.

The domain must have been used before, so I assume they'll have bought up this one (if they didn't have it already, that is)

maybe they set it up before comfirming channel 4 back in 1990's/2000 and channel 4 wanted the main website on their site, and channel 5 probably dont mind and will let endemol have it on a seperate website so they are reopening it? well its a possiblilty

The new page at www.bigbrother.com replaces an old Endemol website which was about the Big Brother franchise globally, featuring a section on each country's version. You can see an archive page here: http://replay.waybackmachine.org/20100102202706/http://bigbrother.com/

Soon after this website was established Endemol pointed the bigbrother.com.au domain (which had been pretty much dormant since BBAU's conclusion in 2008) to that website. Note that the new page on bigbrother.com.au does say 'BigBrother.COM Coming Soon'.

Note the old site was about BB worldwide, but consisted mostly of BBUK content and used the C4 BB font.

It's gotta be for BBUK because they've copyrighted it to Endemol UK rather than Endemol BV (international).

Endemol UK is not just an ordinary national subsidiary of Endemol B.V. like Endemol US and the others, it's seen by Endemol B.V. as a secondary HQ.
