Big Brother Finland 5
 

So I've been idle for a while. But I just can't help it...gotta report what's going on in here. Whether anyone's interested or not. :whistle:

Anyhow...the 5th season begins here on the 24th, less than 2 weeks away. This year, according to the production team, will be completely different from the previous. Not only the house, but also they are saying to revolutionize the whole concept. Remains to be seen, what that means. If it means anything. :whistle:

There are some talks, that 14 housemates will enter on day one.

Anyhow...here are a few pictures leaked out of the new house:

A wider look at the new living area.

I'm off to bed now. Will keep you updated as soon as I get something new.

How will I be able to see this show?

It looks so basic and lol

looks like they haven't changed much if you ask me

the only reason why i like to keep up with the Scandinavian BBs is the nudity :blush2:

Only by searching for torrents and such. I might be able to provide the daily shows, but can't promise anything.

Anyway...one more picture, to the bedroom:

The house really isn't much different from last year. Some minor changes...for example the entrance to the house is now where it was on the first two seasons. Also, there are rumours going that we won't have a shop this year.

The house do seem a bit boring...though, there's only one bed. A big bed. That's different. I guess.

The early houses were much better but it's typical of the Scandinavian versions to build very simple"Ikea" theme houses.

And hi Antos, glad to see you back. :hugesmile:

Yeah...I just hope there'll be something else upstairs than the penthouse this year. One of the minor changes this year is, that there's a batthub somewhere indoors. Also, the task-field has been updated. Or at least that's what the production team is saying.

Thanks and hi, CR. :)

What language is spoken in Finland?

Finnish. :spin2:

All 14 HMs have now entered the house. Here they are:

I'll add more details of these HMs as soon as I can.

Ok...this is different, at least in BB Finland. The HMs were told to gather on the sofas. Their stuff were brought in by some guys...no suitcases, each HM have 2 boxes of their stuff brought in.

This probably has something to do with the bedroom having only one large bed. The HMs don't really have any other place to store their clothes.

Also...the bed looks kinda small for 14 ppl. So...I guess the rumours are true. It's going to be 2 distinctive groups for us this year. Possibly something like rich/poor. Can't really say anything solid about that yet.

A better look at the house:

The kitchen. It's now located in the middle of the house.

The yard have changed a bit.

Ok...in the first few hours this season has been going (this year I bought the live feed for the whole season), my first impression:

A couple of sensible persons. And the rest are more or less like chevs.

Terttu just won't shut up. And she looks like she's lost her marbles somewhere along the road.

Yeah...let's see, how this season folds out. :whistle:

katlin looks like nikki (bb7)

Yeah...some of the Finnish BB-fans made the same comment the moment she entered the house. Or actually a few hours before, as the pictures of the HMs leaked out a bit early.

She looks like Nikki, but is really nothing like her. Kätlin seems to be quite social, supportive and smart. If she keeps this up, she might even become the first ever foreign HM to win here. She's Estonian, have only lived here for a few years.

Of course it's really early to say anything.

The first verbal fight was already seen and heard last night. Nino is gay, Aso homophobic. I didn't see the incident, because I was watching a different camera. But from what I've read, a seemingly innocent convo escalated with one of the girls provoking.

Alcohol had a big part of it though, now they seem all fine.

Oh yeah...and the eye this year looks a bit like in the UK edition. The design, that is:

finnish....

Kätlin looks like Nikki Graham
and i LOVE the bed idea

Ok. I'm still waiting the kick-off to air tonight. But...an inside source wrote in his blog, that for the first week the HMs will live in luxury. All of them. And beginning next week, half of the HMs will have even more luxury than now...and the other will be stripped down to the mere basics.

Actually also Swedish is an official language here. But in BB they have to speak Finnish, unless told otherwise by Big Brother.

Last year there were 3 Russian-born HMs. One of them was trying to teach Russian to one of the other HMs. Big Brother told them to speak Finnish. This year we have 2 Estonian HMs (Kätlin and Ragnar)...they spoke a few words in Estonian when they first met. But switched to Finnish, before Big Brother told them to.

It has now been confirmed, that the HMs will be devided to poor and rich next week.

Ohh Thanks.

I wanted to watch this it looks good but I can't understand finish. :sad:

The start is certainly promising. They've taken a lot of influences from BBUK. This year will be first for us, that the HMs will be divided to rich and poor for an undisclosed period of time. And I guess as a consequence of the HMs don't have a weekly budget either, which in turn means the shop as well as weekly tasks are gone.

Btw...here's the opening title:

R U Sophies brother :thumbs:

Today's task is "Cowboys". They had to make their own lyrics with a line for each HM to an existing melody. They'll get a huge theme-party as a reward, if they succeed to impress Big Brother. Although I guess the party will happen regardless.

One of the producers is also saying, that the look of the house will change next week to go with the poor/rich-theme.

Some rumours are circulating, that there will also be HoH starting next week. The HoH would change weekly and be automatically rich.
