"This year's final will not be shown live, because the 2006 contestants broke rules on swearing before the watershed".

.. according to BBC News online
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6679257.stm

What do we think???

I dont see this happening.....

I think pre-watershed content will be heavily edited - maybe a 15 min delay tops.

I still think the final will be live, they will have strong words with the housemates before they enter and then when Davina speaks to the house she will say something but that will be it, makes me laugh because they received quite a few complaints about swearing during BB7 apparently yet these people are meant to be BB fans.

I can.

It's not such a big deal if it does happen though. They would probably just opt for a 5-10 minute time delay just like the LIVE BB coverage on E4 and the recent live BRIT AWARDS.
.. edit out any swearing!

i think big brother will warn the housemates before the final happens.. that way they know not to swear

They may well have been BB fans but if they think that swearing on national TV is unacceptable before the watershed, then i for one can't blame anyone who wishes to complain.

They do that every year don't they? I think there might be a slight time delay this year.
The BBC are not often wrong..

It's far too early to know yet anyway, channel 4 probably don't even know what their going to do.

I think its just the shows before 9:00pm that are gonna be delayed, while the ones past watershed will be live. Although i remember during Lea's eviction she said the C word while waiting at the door.
