I got froze out for a short while today, but sometimes thats because of something else I do online which seems to break the connection for short(ish) periods of time.

I prefer it on the nights here anyway, generally the people seem to have more to say (and say it better). Well thats my memory of last year anyway.

I rarely log in in the day. Nights are my 'chill out' time so I come here for a natter

YouTube these days generally needs you to click the embed image. Sadly most are disabled

Yeah, (I prefer their 'davina' as well) I watch BB for the personality side of the people (which is the one reason I have stuck with this years as some of the people are interesting, just not entertaining). So really miss it. It worries me too, as someone like Rachel is someone I'd probably hate in our BB, but I quite like her (shames me a bit though - as I suspect its accurate if I had LF) but still know nothing about her.

A mix of the two would be the best.

PS The black and white evicted photos you have are ruining the suprises for me (I dont care that much to be honest but a little annoyed now I see Rachel out grrr!)

This is my second year here, I was spoilt, I was on c4 but left when it got nasty, and I found a really good small forum with about hundred members but generally all of them posted well thought out things, and it was actually a discussion board rather than just opinions.

This year though there just seems to be underlying anger all the times. Too many one lined answers that are just opinions without backing them up. Or get xxxx out, haters, or insults.

Still I moan, so arent any better.

There were problems last year (denisabre) but on the whole it felt like a more intelligent forum than this year.

I think that might be it actually, I hadn't phrased it like that before.

I overslept and missed it.

John James going on and on about it is all i have seen.

He seems to dislike people for being individuals.

I am so sorry!
She went out tonight unfortunely, wont say anymore but you get 5 weeks of her at least - which was really good going considering shes in a showmance which everybody was after.

And I know what you mean, I probably wouldnt have liked Rachel as much in our series but because the whole point of BBUS is to gameplay I LOVE her, she is cracking at the competitions and most of the others aint that likable imo.

Yeah a mixture would be good. I cant decide if I prefer the public vote or not, on one hand we get a say and choose what happens and if there is a strong alliance in the house they get too much control but on another it can stop the big characters going early and also those proceeding just based on looks. Stops the need for bias editing also.

I'm not sure what it is up with, I'll check it later, I'm a bit too tired to make sense of all that Embed code stuff.

And I'm antisocial in life, but on a forum I love chatting. I don't know why, maybe it's a confidence thing.

He dislikes women and those he thinks are a threat to him winning I reckon!

[setanta]

It's ok Claudia, I used my brain for a change. Think I got it. lol.

Morning folks, this twist tonight looks absolute pants. I'm sure another deadwood housemate will get a free ride to the final again(ie, Steph from BB4)

Don't worry about it, I don't mind spoilers.

I know what you mean about the likeabilty of them though, the Brigade and the leader (Im not good with names) annoy me, especially the ones that think they are in the Mafia because they are from New Jersey. Excluding the gay guy and I think one other (In forget) most of the men seem to be macho idiots. So I can't stand them either, though I don't mind Matt (the brains) - ha I laughed at the names, that was so lame. Miaow Miaow - hahah tough name, should of just called himself Top Cat, or TC.

The voting thing I would hate, competitions can be baised to help people - like the first hot dog task, it was obvious the HOH would be male.

I still think that registering a membership, limiting it to so many per house, and then each membership gives you a numer of votes would make ours fine. Its the mass voting which causes the problems, along with the fiddling of nomination procedure.

Do you maybe think that we know we need human contact at times, and this gives us the access to it without having to deal with the s*** thats going on elsewhere.

I like company but don't want it all the time, this gives me that opportunity to still be social but completely on my terms.

Still, at work Im more one of the popular people, happier person, and one of the more social. It could just be that im actually a people person but that just can't stand people.

Yeah, its not going to be good, if they chose its out of Josie, Steve and Mario but can see John James pressuring it for himself as well.

Not read much into the twist.

[Kerry]

Infact I don't know much about the Ultimate Housemate thing at all

[Kerry]

Figured YouTube yet?

The only thing you need to know - its going to be awful.

I don't know much, just bits and pieces. I don't really care about it to be honest, the housemates were who they were because of the people in the house and their lives at the time.

They'll be different people now trying to be the same, leave things like this in the past, let us have the memories of them, not to be altered for two weeks of potentially car crash tv.
