Not sure if the live feeds will be blocked in uk/us, hopefully not

BBfanUSA 20-01-2013 12:20 AM

Hollywood Reporter said it will be geo blocked. I guess Youtube will have to do. Still jealous that their feeds are free.

im excited about another country taking the bbusa format!

jyunga 24-01-2013 07:30 PM

As a Canadian I love the fact so many people on here outside of Canada plan to watch this. Very exciting and I hope it's successful enough to keep it going. It would be awesome to have Big Brother during the winter in Canada and summer in US/UK each year.

any house pics out there?

BBfanUSA 30-01-2013 02:26 PM

other than it being under construction, no nothing.

The layout looks like it's similar to the US house to some people but I think there will be some modifications here and there.

Tickets to our first four live evictions on Feb 28, Mar 7, 14 & 21 are now available!

If you are interested in attending, please contact bbcaudience@insighttv.com with the subject line: Big Brother Canada Tickets for [Date Requested].

Please include your name, email address, phone number & number of tickets requested in the body of your email.

Please note that we cannot guarantee tickets, you must be able to travel to the Greater Toronto Area and the minimum age is 11.
Tickets are now on sale. There's an eviction on Day 2 or 3 apparently.

In a commercial there will be 15 entering, so having a early eviction makes sense.

I can't wait for the Canadian BB.

I'm a big fan of the Real Housewives franchise here in the US (especially Atlanta and Beverly Hills), and when i heard Canada was gonna do a Canadian version (real housewives of vancouver) i was skeptical, but it turned out to be great, and it's on the same channel (Slice) so hopefully Slice doesn't disappoint.

I'll definitely be watching. I really hope our Canadian friends will be uploading the eps and keeping the rest of us updated.

Does anyone know if the live feeds will be free to people in the US as well? we let Canadians watch BBUS, so it's only fair that they let us watch BBCAN plzzz.

Woot free feds. I heard the winner only gets $100k? I hope they keep it that low and use lots of money from advertises to keep feeds and stuff free!

I think they also get a Car and A Trip as well.

BBfanUSA 16-02-2013 12:50 AM

Updates
They're having their own press day. The Host Arisa Cox is there as well.
The first show will be simulcasted on Global (Where BBUSA airs) and Slice (The channel where the season will air)
HGs to be revealed on the first show, will not be appearing in ads.

So the identities of the BB Canada HGs are going to be a secret until Launch Night. I can't believe that photos of their house aren't online yet. They're probably going to keep that a secret until launch night too.

It's not going to sorry. YT will have to do.

And Josiah they're planning to release the pics soon. What's the point of having a press day like the US version then.

its not selfish on canada's part, its selfish on americas part. Im sure if america really wanted BBcanada it would happily be shown
America just wants their citizens to watch shows from their own country.

That doesn't even make sense. America shares our shows with the whole wide world, but nobody ever sends us much back. yea, we got Degrassi, and we get Downton Abbey, but we sent out WAY MORE shows to you guys then you give to us.

It's not fair. :(

And you totally ruined Fringe. America get's screwed over by foreign TV.

jyunga 16-02-2013 05:43 AM

Your comments make no sense lostalex :P

Canadian stations pay to get shows from the US. You guys aren't giving out tv shows for free.

You won't be able to watch BB Canada because no station in the US cares about paying for it.

but it's being shown FREE for everyone in Canada, the live feeds are FREE there. , so why should we have to pay for it?

I'm going to send a very strongly worded e-mail to Ms. Julie Chen about this, and if you know anything about Ms. Chen, you'd know that she knows how to get her way. If Julie can't do it, no one can. For Canada to be depriving us of their Big Brother is just protectionist and nationalistic and as an American i won't stand for it. America has done so much for Canada over the years. It's a slap in the face.

What is 'free'? Are you referring to just the live feeds? The show itself isn't free for Canadians. We pay cable/satellite for that content.

As for the live feeds, we Canadians pay to get access to the American live feeds. If the American live feeds were free they would also be geolocked just like the Canadian live feeds are.

I'm starting to think you are just trolling though.

Brekkie 17-02-2013 08:17 PM

CBS have the US rights so only they could show it (or one of their spin offs), and they'd probably prefer not to just in case it turns out better or features a twist they'll want to use themselves in the future.
