BB Finland 2008
 

Damn these busy schedules. :yuk:

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.

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. :thumbs:

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).

where can we watch this?

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. :cheer2:
Can't wait to see the new house rebuilded for the 4th series.

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

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.


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.

The logo for this year looks like this:

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

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.

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! :dance2:

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:

http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/8...sl410bbmk8.jpg

why was she replaced?
the house is so pretty!

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.

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 :laugh:

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:

http://viihde.mtv3.fi/videot/index.s...?2008/8/141353

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

Thanks Antos for all the information

I love the new house!!

Cant wait for the torrents

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

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

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. :sad:

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.

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.

The house is a bit boring...but the housemates look...dare i say it...NORMAL!!!

I can see, why some people find the house boring. But then again, there probably isn't any BB-house anywhere in the world that everyone would like.

I think this house is an improvement from the previous. This house only has one bedroom and the more open space makes it more difficult to form cliques inside the house.

On another note, I managed to get my hands on the Kick-off and Day 1. They're not the best in quality, low bitrate. But good enough. So, for now I won't post any new videos or the introductions. I'll try to have at least Kick-off, Day 1 and Day 2 ready to be donwloaded early next week. I'm off to the countryside for the weekend, can't do anything to the files while I'm gone.

Btw...I mentioned about the weekly task earlier. They haven't actually got it yet. The task will start today. Just thought I'd correct myself.

Weekly task is Fire station. So...they'll be firefighters for a few days. :tongue:

These are my first impressions of a few of the housemates based on their entrance on the kickoff and the few days they're spent in the house.

Niko: a spoiled dramaqueen. He's bisexual, but so far I've seen a stereotype of a comedic homosexual.

Cheryll: a wannabe posh. She lives for shopping and beauty, but she doesn't act like it in the house.

Harri: a wannabe punk. Looks a bit like one, but don't act like one.

Minna: a wannabe celebrity. She seems to be willing to do anything to stay in the headlines.

Risto: He's kinda bossy. And a player.

More tomorrow. Those are the HMs, that I have something to say about. The rest are still waiting to show, what they've got.

I'll use this same post to tell, that apparently one of the housemates slipped out they were required to have a valid passport. This info is from a source I trust. Adding to this, yesterday the hostess said that on Sunday we'll see something that haven't been seen on BB Finland before.

There are quite a few things we haven't seen here before. But I'm hoping it would be a HM swap. If it is, I guess it would be with Africa. That would be the only logical choice.

The fake evicted was Marko.

So, obviously he went back in the house. But he went directly to the room upstairs. His task is to keep it quiet. He can't let any of the other HMs know he's back.

The room upstairs has its own toilet. But Marko has to think carefully when to use it, so that he wouldn't get caught. He can also move freely anywhere in the house.

He may or may not get food, drinks and entertainment while he's in the room. He will stay in there until Big Brother tells him otherwise.

If he is caught by the other HMs at any time, he'll be automatically up for eviction. If he can manage to stay undetected, he'll win immunity for the next nominations.

The room upstairs has a TV. Marko can watch live feed from the house all the time on that TV.

is it on torrents yet?

I've read about the fake eviction and living upstairs etc......sounds fun!

Translating and subtitling is taking longer than I expected. Also converting to XviD has taken some time. I've decided to forget about the Extra shows for now, it's mostly news-orientated anyways. Also I cut all introductions from the kickoff-show to save time on translations. I only left the house-tour and HM introductions.

On another note, Cheryll had her birthday on Sunday. But because Sunday is also the live eviction night, they didn't have a party then. Big Brother dropped a bomb on the HMs on Monday by telling them, that Cheryll would receive a party for her birthday. They were after all in the belief, that they would have to live healthy for the whole season.

And what a party it was...again the normal kissing around just about anyone who happened to be handy, even if they were the same gender. Niko got his neck full of hickies, at some point he had 3 ppl at the same time sucking his neck.

Cheryll got a final present from Big Brother after midnight. She got the permission to spend the rest of the night in the suite upstairs with a HM of her choosing. She chose Risto...and after an hour or so of talking the two of them got going. Although both of them denied having sex afterwards, the sounds and movements under the blanket told otherwise...

...and partly at the same time Johan and Marianna got rowdy in the sauna. Despite there being at least 4 other HMs watching, Marianna pulled Johan's shorts down and grabbed his penis in her hand. The handjob didn't last for long, but the live feed was X-rated. Possibly she also had a lick, before changing her mind about the whole thing and walked away.

Also that same night Mia and Minna got in a fight. It wasn't physical, but they certainly didn't save any words while shouting at each others.

Finally, in the morning Tero and Marianne had a short session under the covers in the bedroom.

Half of this bunch seem to be willing to do just about anything in the house.

I'll end this message with news about this week's evictions:

Up for eviction are Marko (for quitting his secret mission), Minna and Risto. It will be a double-eviction.

Some problems uploading torrents. My netconnection is at the moment a bit off. Sorry about that. I promised something, and can't deliver. Terribly sorry about that. As soon as I have a new connection openen, I'll upload the whole season. If there's still anyone, who's interested to see how they do BB here.

Meanwhile...last week's double-evicition: Minna and Risto were evicted. Today Marko was evicted. The gap between Cheryll and Marko was 0.03%

Also, Andreas got news that he's going to be a father. Live. His fioncee was outside holding signs, gradually telling she's preagnant.

And finally: 4 new HMs entered the house before the eviction. I'll add pictures as soon as I can. It seems, that I can't even upload pictures at the moment.

The task for the week is Hotel BB. Half of the HMs are staff, and other half guests. 2 HMs were designated as VIP-guests, they will stay in the suite for the duration of the task.

The new HMs are Anniina, Tuuli, Antti and Jari-Matti. I linked the names to their profiles on the official site. I still have problems uploading anything. At least anyone, who's still interested can see their pictures.

Back to the task. The guests are:
Harri
Jari-Matti
Johan
Maria
Marianna
Niko
Tuuli

...and staff:
Andreas (chef)
Antti (head of entertainment)
Cheryll (buttler)
Marianne (receptionist)
Mia (cleaning)
Tero (piccolo/general management)

Johan and Tuuli are the VIP-guests. Apparently they've had a one-night stand together in the past. Marianna and Johan shared a bed for a couple of weeks. Marianna was already ready to go, she told a couple of days ago that she's had enough. Tonight she walked. Johan and Tuuli sharing the suite was too much for her.

Also, Anniina reportedly was in a relationship with Harri some time ago.

Cheryll, Maria and Niko are up for eviction.

Also, I must correct myself. Marianna didn't walk, she was ejected. For personal reasons. No news of what those reasons were, my guess is that psychiatrist was of the opinion that Marianna wouldn't last for long anymore. It was really visible, that she was mentally broken. Possibly the real reason will be revealed on Sunday.

As far as softporn goes...things have changed. The game has definately changed. At the moment it seems, that Andreas could very well win. Then again...so could Cheryll, Mia and Niko. Possibly Tero, Anniina or Tuuli. The game is now wide open again.

I personally am still waiting for new HMs to enter in the coming weeks. I think it's just a matter of time.

Tonight The Duudsons visited the house. For anyone who doesn't know, they're the Finnish equivalent of Jackass.

They didn't just perform, but the HMs participated. There was drinking through the nose (tomato juice and tabasco), getting their asscheeks stapled and for the final stunt Harri volunteered. He got his ear nailed to a piece of wood.

These HMs are just nuts.

Andreas, Harri, Mia and Niko are up for eviction next week. As a penalty for constantly breaking the rules.

Thank you for all your updates antos and please keep up the good work, I have been watching every episode by downloading them from usenet but as I only speak English I sometime am at a loss as too what is going on so your updates have been a wonderful help to me.

Any word yet as to why Marianna was removed from the house as I saw on this weeks eviction show that the housemates were shown a video message from her and the presenter also mentioned her name a few times ?

Sorry for not showing up and updating for over a week. I've been extremely busy for the better part of the last fortnight. Anyhow...last Sunday Mia was evicted, and Maria a week before. Otherwise last week was kinda boring.

Harri was removed from the eviction voting, as he was taken to a hospital last monday. He got an infection from having his ear nailed, and not taking care of disinfectioning carefully enough. He's still in the hospital, but getting better.

Last weeks task was a bit boring, they just had to avoid breaking any of the paper-strips that had been spread around the house.

Marianna spoke of her removal, but didn't really say anything new. She just said, that the reasons were too personal to say and that everything was fine with her. She has logged on to the official BB-discussion board, and seems to take things really well.

This week's task is "Unforgettable festival-trip".

Finally, this week the nominations will be reversed. Instead of naming who they would like to go, the HMs will name persons they would most like to stay in the house. The HMs with the lowest amount of points will be up for eviction.

Oh yeah...for the whole season BB will play 3 sounds, each of which the HMs will have to react to a predifined fashion. On hearing one sound they'll have to grimace, on one squat and on one land belly down. And these sounds may sound at any time, even in the middle of the night when they're sleeping.
