Rewatch and discuss BIG BROTHER 2000

[daniel-lewis-1985]

THE LINKS ARE NOW WORKING!!!!

FOR ANYONE WHO NEVER GOT TO SEE THE ORIGINAL BIG BROTHER HERE IT IS

[B]Okay, so the idea is we will be watching a series of BB like the first time it's aired and discussing it episode by episode.

Its gonna be 2 episodes per day.

For all you late comers to BB this is a chance for you to see where it all began.

a few rules:

•No discussing anything further than the latest episode posted.
•No revealing the results of nominations/evictions, etc.
•No hints about things that happen later in the series
•Basically, discuss the series as if you're watching it for the first time, as some people will be.


Sorry for the poor sound but it improves on later episodes-Stick with it :)

thanks in advance for this

[happybbfan]

My favourite was BB2 but im happy to go with the majority thanks for trying with BB1 tho.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

BB6 Please

[collybird]

BB2 please.

[Sam:)]

BB6,there both great series,but bb6 is probably the least appreciated series
ITS PROBABLY THE BEST

[happybbfan]

Could we not go in order and start with BB2 then BB6,only a suggestion tho,really dont mind but if its a draw then maybe thats a way forward

[Mac Hiavellian]

I loved BB6 but didn't watch enough of BB2 so I don't mind tbh. If you can get BB1 working one day I'd be up for it :D

[MeMyselfAndI]

BB6 pleaseee!!

[Doogle]

Bb6.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Guys the links are now working so BB1 is up and running.

ENJOY :)

[happybbfan]

WOW loved it so much thanks for this.BB Ikea or what.Loved the simple profiles of the housemates and the normal way they came across in the house.So much happened in just 3 days.My fav were Darren and Anna.

EPISODE 2-Week 1 catch up part 2

http://www.zshare.net/video/9086723172326232/

[Jarrod]

Cool! But are you still doing BB6?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Cool! But are you still doing BB6?

Yeah

[happybbfan]

What is very striking is how fast Nick is working on playing the game to avoid nomination so early on.This just reminds me why i love BB in the early years so much,i hope C5 are listening.

[Mac Hiavellian]

I watched half of the first 1 last night but had a head ache so went to bed. I'm watching tonight though :D

[happybbfan]

any chance of more episodes before you go for your audition thanks.

[Mac Hiavellian]

Days 1-3:

Just a few secs in and OMG! Marcus' voice, the fact the first few days are pre-recorded and how I do really like the BB1 house. Meeting the HMs was a bit rushed but I guess that's just cos it's a chance for us to get to know them based on what the get up to next. Bring it!

Ha! The chickens are loving it. Oh, here we go with the VTs. Forget what I said earlier. Craig seems friendly - he's got a bit of a joker grin. I like him. People like Sada - veggies that eat fish - confuse me. At least she's said it's just because she doesn't like the grit of a beef burger but you do get the occasional twit that clings on to the idea it was a living thing yet they can still eat fish? Caroline and Nichola look like fun. Lol at how bored they are already if they're playing basketball. It seems the guys are bonding over that whilst the girls are bonding though chatting.

LOL at Mel: "Ok, I'm bored of this now and it's getting me wet!" Andy: "Well, I don't really want to/need to know that." Did you like that Dan? The truth/lie game is good for a first night and a good way to get to know the HMs. Anna's the first 'out there' HM - a lesbian ex-nun. Christ, that bathroom is sh!t. I still actually like the house but it is a bit bare. Speaking of bare - Craig! :eek:

Ah, the Millennium Dome. What a load of sh!t. At least Darren's happy. And here's the first task! I think Andrew comes across as the most boring so far tbh. Fair enough if he likes his go-karting but we didn't learn much more from him. Mel’s single. I bet she’s dated some right tits… http://www.virginmedia.com/images/bb-alex_sibley-431x300.jpg

Sada seems nice but I don’t think she’s relatable because the hippie thing throws me and she does kinda remind me of Tara Palmer-Tomkinson too. Tom looks a bit like Michael Fassbender. LMAO at Andrew on Melanie’s nipples: “It’s like she’s smuggling peanuts in.” And the clay penis! Ha!

Nichola is amazing. If Anna’s the first ‘out there’ HM then Nichola has to be the first ‘character’. She’s just very interesting and lively. Lol at Anna and Mel pressing her against the wall. And now Craig’s joining in lol! This is so weird. They’re complete strangers and atm I think they’re still aware of the cameras yet they’re pressing each other’s naked bodies against walls and it seems oddly natural. There’s something about Marcus’ narration that’s a bit odd as well. It’s like his lines are forced but he’s trying to inject some sort of enthusiasm and style in to it. “Thomas didn’t get involved with the body printing. But he’s up for this.”

Ooh, Nick’s got the ball rolling. I’d still be aware it’s a game so I’d have no worries asking those sort of questions. There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just being inquisitive. I reckon Sada and Tom are the most likely to go first for those reasons. And lol at Craig’s reaction to the toiler roll – “Heh heh heh. Sh!t.”

As a first episode I liked it because it just got on with the house action over the first few days rather than do what most later series did and just re-use a lot of the stuff you’d already see from the launch. But I think at the same time you could only take in little bits because it condensed all those days worth in to just an hour long episode. The BB3 thing was probably better having just the first 2 days HLs rolled in to 1 ep – or in BB11 when they skipped through the entrances very quickly and then just got on with what happened next. From that ep it’s hard to really say which HMs I like atm but they all seem likeable.

Final week 1 highlights

The 2nd week goes to the regular days highlights like every other BB

http://www.zshare.net/video/91051188f30840c2/

[happybbfan]

This episode just says it all for me,i love BB,love the house and most of all love the reality that the show was back then.Even tho it was so basic it was so much more fun to watch.Mel is a character to watch tho with the men.Andy seems to full of himself.How naive was Tom?Darren getting the first outside world reality check i forgot about that one.Marcus voice seems very dull,he really must ham it up these days.I forgot about the greenhouse too.Would like to have more discussion time BB.Anna seemed to summ up how to be a good housemate tho.Thanks again its so good to be reminded of what we had and not the rubbish we ended up with.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So the first weeks highlights have gone and now its running day by day

This is the week it starts to get interesting for me PLUS BIG BROTHERS 1ST EVER EVICTION (WHO WILL IT BE? LOL)

HERES DAY 11

http://www.zshare.net/video/910959064fb4d36f/

[happybbfan]

This is where BB really come alive from now on.Nominations were brief but to the point.The divide between the girls and boys is a key part to the outcome of the noms.Nick was quick to react to both the nominees and to console even tho he nommed them both.he really did only see this as a game show,in fact i feel that they all only see it as a tv game show with a cash prize at the end.darren is very savvy with how the media may be interested in who gets evicted etc.Andy is reminding me of a watered down version of Maxwell,a bit of a lad but much more likable tho.I was surprised to see him recieve a homemade gift from his mum for his birthday,some facts i have forgotten over time.A very well edited and fair episode i feel.BB really has begun.

Good review :)

BB1 is a brilliant series i just wish some of the younger members would come and watch. I think they are under the impression that its this tame, boring show but this aint the case...AT ALL.

DAY 12

http://www.zshare.net/video/91140193fda2f8a6/

And Day 13

http://www.zshare.net/video/911414958162bff2/

[happybbfan]

Day 12 Andrew really is so cocky and sure of himself,he has no idea he is not liked that much.Thomas dull,boring and talks in monotone too much but a nice enough lad.Caroline is jelous of Mel and seems to think the voting should have been more divided with mel choosing the boys to nom and sticking more with the girls.Mel just seems to get on with the boys better,not sure if she is flirting deliberately with them or just genuinly prefers male company.Nick starts his game now with the lies about his wife,not sure why he did that cant remember.Craig seems a genune,real average intelligent lad.One thing that stood out for me was how close the beds are in the girls room and how small the bedroom is considering the house was quite large in those days.Editing seems to be fairer than of later years with no obvious viewer manipulation as to who to vote out,just down to personality and preference.

[happybbfan]

Day 13 The memory task was hard but simple and effective.Bb was obviously in charge of the house and was taking no foolswith only one wrong answer allowed.Darren just cracks me up with his adversion to the chickens but i still like him.Andrew is really showing his game playing now with Nick pushing to make sure the boys and in particular himself dont get nominated.The amount and extent of what they say about noms is cutting it very fine.Not sure what the rules were in the earl years but then they have changed so much as regards to nom talk.Mel is dividng the girls again but i think she really does just get along with the boys better,a bit of a tomboy.Nicola's attitude is selfish and over powering and she is very stubborn.I am amazed to see that BB allowed her to do so much art work around the house.The divide is getting stronger with Craig now causing a few rifts but Nicola is one not to get on the wrong side of.Although compared to later series this is a basic layout and design it somehow doesnt seem as basic as i had remembered it to be except in the bathroom and bedrooms.My favourites are still Anna,Darren and Craig is growing on me now.

SO HERE'S THE FIRST EVER BIG BROTHER EVICTION!!!

The evictions back in the day were nuts! and get bigger and bigger as the series progresses

CHECK OUT DAVINA ASWELL

EVICTION PART 1

http://www.zshare.net/video/912234585ca66420/

EVICTION PART 2

http://www.zshare.net/video/9122624649e66daa/

[daniel-lewis-1985]

DAY 15

http://www.zshare.net/video/91295645759262ab/

[happybbfan]

Eviction part one-I think this is where they start to realise they are in the house for some time and emotions are now running high with the meeting they are starting to open up more.Andy still thinks he is the top dog.The girls are still not liking Mel for getting on with the boys better.Davina seems so enthusiastic and keen to be doing the show,she also seems to be less scripted and more casual about the whole thing.I like the way she links up with the house and she doesnt tell them not to swear.The studio setting is great for the interview.They showd the percentages of voting before the lines closed too. Part two-The house and the evictee Sada were happy and Caroline behaved as tho she had clasped victory over the boys for staying.Love the way the press had already labelled BB as "sick,perverted and pornographic".The crowd were manic but mostly of good spirits and not much booing.Sada behaved well in her interview and had a good attitude to the whole nomminating thing,seeing it as part of the game,shame they have not all done that in later years.I liked the casual interview with Davina sitting next to her.I am amazed to see that Mel and Tom were the early favourites.Nick really is a game player,although he meant no harm to anyone.I do like Nick but Caroline is gratting on me now.

[happybbfan]

Day 15 recap episode-darren is not taking to the chickens roaming around the garden.like the fact the girls have slept outside.BB has given the house the first nomination reprimand about discussing them and influencing others.BB seem to be much harsher with them back then and really means what he says.Nick is shaken by being given a reprimand and tries to cover it up by smoking and chatting to Craig in the garden.He knows he has talked about noms.A painting task has been given to the house to paint someone else in the house.I like the fact that the pictures were put on the wall in the house.BB gives out more alcohol.Craig is starting to appear more in the highlights today. Am i the only one watching BB1 atm? Thanks for doing it anyway but it would be nice to have some company.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

DAY 16 - 17 Psychology show

http://www.zshare.net/video/913972566f6591e2/

[happybbfan]

Loved this episode with the psycho babble wish they would bring it back.The eviction seemed like a real event back then.Nick is still talking noms and talking to the cameras BBLBC style like in BB11.Cycling endurance task very basic but well organised.The group given discussion topics which gives an insight into the housemates more,this is something which should be done more often.Nick seems to be getting the others to like him even tho he is sly and manipulative.a really well edited spisode with a balanced view of all the housemates.Love that Darren has lost his phobia of the chickens too.Such good memories watching this again

[happybbfan]

Are you still going to load up any more episodes?Would be good to see it all the way through but also good to have someone else to talk too,thanks.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Yeah sorry im having trouble uploading but keep checking coz i will upload them asap

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Sorry guys im having major dramas with zshare.com so im gonna find another site to upload.

[Mac Hiavellian]

Days 4-7:

I like how this ep starts off with a reminde rof who the HMs are and shows what they've got up to briefly. BB12 could do with a weekly catch-up show like that in case anyone misses an ep or for the bookies and punters to still be in the loop and get people interested if they don't wanna watch the show on a daily basis.

Nick's a sly dog in more ways than one lol. Was that a subtle way of him getting Andrew and Mel to turn on Craig? Hmm? The Day 4 HLs were a bit too brief. At least the task got them bonding.

I get the impression Tom's finding it hard to get involved that's why he's taking his time. Andy and Mel seem to be getting close. Now I want some pancakes.

I reckon that would piss me off when people start rationing food. I get so pissy if there's no food and if people start dictating how much I eat. If we're low I'm not against going shopping but in that house it must be irritating. Ooh - Andrew's the one who asked "Who's the most useless?" Didn't see that coming. The tit.

Darren has a phobia of chickens?!?! Oh he's in the wrong house. LOL at his face in the DR. Lmao at veggie Sada: "Who would you eat if you had to eat someone?" and at her asking mosquittos to leave. She's bat-sh!t lol.

So Andrew's aware of Nick and he's confronted him about it. If this episode wasn't so condensed it would've been good to hear it more.

I liked that episode cos it had a lot going for it but I don't understand why it was only half an hour when it crammed in 4 whole days worth? Looking forward to the next ep though :)

[happybbfan]

Hooray i thought i was on my own in here.i hope it gets going again soon Daniel and thanks

[Tony1111]

Woah! Talk about a blast from the past. Hehe, I remember my mum being concerned about me watching this when she seen it had nudity. I must've been about seven or eight then. She used to watch it every night though. :p

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Sorry about the delay but all seems to be fixed now :)

DAY 18
