U right for "Les Colocataires", it wasn't produced by Endemol but it was so much like a BB
But for "Nice People", it was produced by the same Endemol team "So Nice productions"
"So Nice productions" have produced SS1/2/3 too :wink:

Right so the producers got it wrong. I've got to change the thread title the I know Les Colocataires weren't produced by the same team but let's say it was. :hugesmile:

Lol, I wish TF1 would be as accommodating as u are when I ask them to bring back live feeds :tongue:

I think they made a big mistake. I watched it, I never paid for it tho. :bigsmile:
Removing the live feed won't play in their advantage, they are losing viewers. They can also edit the show such as the Matthias and Alexandra incident. He told her 'Are you OK ?' but they edited as 'May I kiss you ?' Live feed viewers understood what was going on.

Black & White party tonight ! France has the best BB parties in the world: unlimited alcohol + music all night long. :hugesmile: And a LOT of stuff happen like sex, stripping, arguing and bitching.

Loving the titles as always.

Have they deciphered La Voix's clue about the mirror yet? BTW I love the voice of LV it's so cool! Can you tell me why La Voix tutoie with the contestants? I think it may be either to make the ambiance a bit more cool and young or because young French viewers would feel better using the tutoy-ing in general? Is there a reason for it or am I just looking into it too much?

Im sorry but in 1 day of Secret Story I'm hooked so much more than 5 days of Big Brother!

Am I the only one thats avoiding the secrets because I like to play along as well? Ive been spoiled about John Francois' secret because I read the start of Remy's post! It's obvious I spose but never dawned on me......I thought he was a closet gay pretending to be bisexual (god is that how we write that in English? I was writing it in French but I had to erase it twice!!)

Briefly Im rubbish at this game! Is it boys or girls that are nominated first this year?

Right, let me answer all these questions. :hugesmile:

-La Voix (or Big Brother, whether you want, it's easier to say BB so people here understand what it is) is very friendly with the housemates but at the same time very bossy. As you could have notices, the HL shows are at 6pm and not at 10pm unlike the UK version. Why ? Because it's a family program (not really but still) and it appeals to teenagers hence why Big Brother tutoie them.

-Abut what's happening, Secret Story has been much more entertaining that Big Brother UK these last 2 years and I think it will keep up this year, by the look of what happened so far. The UK producers should really take a look at our twists.

-It's actually François-Xavier and not John François :hugesmile: But yes it was kinda obvious he was a millionaire. And I think you're the only one avoiding the secrets because they're everywhere on Internet.

-And we still don't know who will nominate first. If it's the boys then Cindy is nominated, they can't deal with her.
If the girls are nominated first, then I don't know who will be nominated. The boys are very popular.

Aint La Voix, the voice no? I don't even speak French lol.

Yes. It makes more sense in French because having someone saying 'This is Le Grand Frère...' doesn't sound right so they went for The Voice. :hugesmile:

Waheyy.

The main event for the black and white party is as follows

La Voix called all HMs to the garden where on a table there was an envelope with each HM's name on it. In the envelope contained their secret. After they all grabbed their envelope they were told to stand against the wall in front of a large red curtain in the garden.

La Voix informed them that behind these curtains were 2 urns. One black and the other white. Each HM had to put their envelope into one of these urns. At the end of the ceremony one of these urns would be destroyed and doing so destroying any secrets inside. The other urn would have its contents revealed placing the secrets in danger.

I've tried to find the results but theres nothing as of yet.

I always refer to him (or weirdly "elle" in French) as La Voix because technically he doesn't adress himself as Big Brother and pretty much every English speaker can ascertain that it means "The Voice" ie "Big Brother" as proven in this thread.

Its really a matter of choice and hugely unimportant!

Right, so a lot happened since last night:

-Black and White party: Big Brother provided them with black and white housemates for the first party. Unlimited alcohol, dinner and music were given.
Of course most of them got drunk, very badly, which means they're going to have fun this year.

-Jonathan & Daniela are playing dirty: Both have decided to make an alliance with each other. To discover the secrets (so to earn some money) they have decided to play the 'we're a secret couple' card. Also, they have decided to share every information about the others.

The girls turned on Daniela: This morning, the girls accused Daniela of awaking them when they tried to sleep a bit more. Daniela felt offended and then complained to Majia and Jonathan who told her to ***** the girls off.

Ah so I was pretty much right about the tutoy-ing. The housemates dont even bother with the "shall we tutoie?" as I have noticed on lots of other shows they just go ahead and do it!

Francois Xavier, John Francois c'est du chinois pour moi! It's all the same!

I'm the only one playing along then...ah well! I hope Cindy doesn't go she seems really interesting and lively but I have to admit that this show is really well casted! There's not one contestant that the show is relying on they all seem interesting!

New video on the official website and this is interesting:

FX (François-Xavier) and Leo have started making plans for nominations. Both want to get rid of Vanessa and Emilie because they know each other so they could make decisions together. However, FX wants to keep Emilie because she's very smart...which is bad according to Leo. Lea also wants to get ride of the 'big disgusting cow with horrible tits' aka Cindy because she 'disgusts' him.

So if they are having this discussion, that means the boys are nominating first. :spin2:

Updates from the afternoon

Rachel/Rosa has dissapeared into the Diary Room for the afternoon and hasnt been seen leading to speculation from the HMs.

Leo has had a secret meeting with his fellow intruders to discuss thoughts and opinions in the secret house.

In the HL lots happened.

Leo confirmed his suspicisions that Rosa is Rachel despite her protests and the fact that Emilie and Vanessa gave her a make over (where she cried and told everyone about her image problems) In the "Tommorow on Secret Story" Rosa emerges from the Diary Room as Rachel

Jonathan and Daniela played up to the fact that people were thinking they were a couple but Jonathan got pissed off and annoyed that she was only interested in using him 100%.

The 2nd consel of the Intruder Fraternity took place with the rules of the fraternity put in place and each member being obliged to wear a chain with the symbol of the fraternity 24/7 until they leave the house.

The house was in uproar over the fact that Cindy showered nude. Despite the fact in the same shower was a naked Jonathan it prompted calls that she is a porn star.

Nicolas buzzed FX and Didier/Alicia thinking that they are a couple.

Elise quizzed FX about why he was rubbish at doing the washing up. She thinks he has very rich parents and has servants doing everything for him.

I cant remember who but people think that Elisabeth and Elise are mother and daughter.

General updates

Rosa left the house last night having been revealed as Rachel

Cindy showered nude again this morning

Its very likely that the ex of Emilie and the reason she and Vanessa are worst enemies will enter the house on Friday's show.

Yep I heard that too. It's going to be awesome.
Emilie and Vanessa laugh and have fun together but you can clearly see it's fake, they just want to kill each other. But they know that, if they lose, they lose together so they'd better stay together. :hugesmile:

Also, we know something about FX, he's a cocaine addict and has been sued by his own father because he went to Monaco last summer and stole his father's credit cards. He spent €25,000 in parties and cocaine. The court ordered a therapy to get rid of his addiction to cocaine.

Like I said, most controversial cast ever. :hugesmile:

They seem to have blocked you downloading the vids off the website now, which is a shame as I prefer to download them as often watching them can be a stop-start experience. And if I were to download the shows from the official site, it's easier to fast forward through them once downloaded rather than on the built in flash player.


It is all looking good though - there seems a real energy about it compared to our version this year.

The boys have nominated Emilie and Daniela for eviction this week.

Let's hope Daniela is out, I like her but I love Emilie more. She's wicked. And if her boyfriend is to enter on Friday, Endemol will play the votes a bit to keep her in. :wink:

Oh, so those predicting Cindy's early eviction was a bit presumptuous then.

Seem as how she only got 1 vote yeah which is great as she needed to be kept in. She really showed tonight that shes a lively person and isn't afraid of the big bully Francois Xavier (crap why do double barrel names not agree with me!)and surely Léo neither!

I want Daniela out for the same reason as Remy if the ex is really going in it would make brilliant TV.

Remy quick question do you actually vote? I have loads of credit and might give it a whirl! Always liked voting in RTV!

:( you guy are so lucky.. I so want to watch this, but I can't speak French and no subtitles :(
