Big Brother 2011 (UK) Thread 1: When Love Takes Over

It's coming back! Bigger than ever yadda yadda this is going to be shite isn't it?

Celebrity one first apparently. I think one thread will probably be enough to cover both that and the wannabe one.

let's try that again

So, Brian Dowling's going to be Davina?

If those planes had started dropping bombs it would have been perfect.

marcus bentley's there = so am I

I will be watching this, unless Jedward are in. That joke stopped being funny a long time ago.

They should have spontaneously combusted on stage at the end of their Eurovision performance. Would have been the perfect exit.

Kick-off is 9PM Thursday 18th

The celeb version might work if they can get a good mix of housemates - not fucking Jedward. The civilian version is probably going to die on it's arse,

i thought big brother was done with for good? why is ti back, god, let it die

Dudes if you're watching this then you are giving money to the Richard Desmond empire and basically putting it in the pocket of the English Defence League. I hope you're all happy with that.

We'll change channels when the ads come on.

i think this is a good point

Oh it'll last until the end of this celeb series, then the main series will get cancelled either halfway through or even before it starts. Then it might get a reboot on Dave ('The Home of Witty Comedy Banter").

I like the optimism inherent in 'Thread 1' though. If we get to Thread 2 then that'll be one thread more than the entirety of the last Premiership season.

We only got one thread last year...
Big Brother 2010 (UK) Thread 1: Unknown Pleasures
...seems like a looooooooooooooooooooooong time a go /morganfreeman

wonder what they're gonna do in the way of support shows

Emma Willis will be presenting Big Brother’s new and exclusive spin-off series ‘Big Brother's Bit On The Side’ which will be scheduled around the main show.

Emma Willis, the wife of Matt Willis, who ate a crocodile penis on TV while Ant & Dec watched.

rubbish prog name but no george lamb already hundredfold improvement on last few series

Hi.

It's tradition for these threads to start with "thread one", in old ILX days the thread would go to another thread when it got too long to be manageable/loadable in pronto.

Two things happened, ILX got quicker, the 'skipping' got installed, and the BB series got less interesting so generated less interesting banter.

I like the title btw.

when love takes over/breaks down

The ee-dee-el connection almost makes it 'When Thugs Take Over'.

ee-yeah-ee-yeah

Possibly no-one if the housemates are a bunch who make Jedward look like Mastermind contestants.

Dudes if you're watching this then you are giving money to the Richard Desmond empire and basically putting it in the pocket of the English Defence League. I hope you're all happy with that.

Happy to hear of a TV channel I can watch that doesn't put money in the pockets of some cunt I don't like.

sally bercow?

Hmm, didn't know "When love takes over" was the theme tune for the preview ads.

1 DAY TO GO!

So, it seems to be Jedward and Sally Bercow!

Unless they got paid money to be fakenames...

Oh, and someone who keeps talking about Vajazzling, or some such. Is it like Snowboarding?

Much to learn have you, young padawan...

Vajazzling: The act of applying glitter and jewels to a woman's nether regions for aesthetic purposes.

With or without her permission?

She doesn't use it in that context, she just means glamming things up.

This may be because she is stupid.

I keep seeing a poster for a nightclub in Glasgow that does vajazzling parties, the concept horrifies me.

Apparently in this we're getting Kerry Katona and her mother too. I hope it's the fun, likeable version from I'm A Celebrity, not the empty husk from recent documentaries.

we're getting Kerry Katona and her mother too

Shameless & blatant move to be the next Jade Goody! Does she have a racist boyfriend she can bring in?

I'll be at the football tonight - might ask the missus to record it.

There's clearly nothing else on at 21:00 tonight, so I probably will be watching.

But, I'm not holding out much hope of anything actually interesting happening.

Years previously, there'd be papers and TV making something of it, but there seems to be a d-notice going down on all media except for Channel5 and the Daily Star.

This is gong to go down like the V2000 format.

oh ffs i will not touch this if katona is in it, she doesn't deserve any of my air time

Sorry Ste, looks like you're out for this

Housemate #1: Kerry Katona

uh lock thread
bye bye...

FUCK

ring me when she's thrown out

haha did she just wipe her feet on entering?

haven't kept up with the rumour mill, but the categories of people i predicted to be in there are

1. people best known for reality tv appearances
2. people best known for life collapses (kk could apply to either!)
3. people who were a bit famous in the 80s
4. glamour models
5. token american

two categories in one again!

Genuinely never heard of Tara Reid.

Housemate #2: Tarra Reid (sp? and also "who?") - token American

she seems in a state of shock

what do you reckon so far dan

hahaha literally this is the first time I've looked at this thread

they've blocked Digitalspy at my job, which was the main way I followed UK Big Brother, so I have no opinion this time around

:((

this sounds the genuine death knell of bb

oooooh

what's happened?

just rebeckah lying v barefacedly to heaven denying that she had told jay that heaven was eating all the chocolate which rebeckah v definitely did do and then even bringing jay into it to help deny and he hummed and hawed and avoided saying anything and then when heaven went away rebeckah denied to jay too that she'd said it and jay was a bit like actually you did and also all this cycle of bad men thing of rebeckah's - it's like the old thing of what has been the only common factor in every one of your failed relationships? YOU

and now she's in the diary room nomming jay for not backing her up so maybe she's totally deluded and lying to herself and even though she and heaven made peace and everything and heaven hasn't nommed rebeckah rebeckah has nommed heaven saying she doesn't trust her haha

rebeckah and heaven up and rebeckah must go I hope

Save Heaven.

It has a ring to it...

alex so far has had five spray tans one after the other

Just in case anyone's wondering why I haven't posted any links to Sparklit poll pages, it seems "Big Brother Online" are arsed.

rebeckah must go was good last night when they recounted to the assembled housemates the convo harry anton and heaven had in which heaven expressed shock at harry and anton's assertion that rebeckah will have definitely nommed her saying no way we had such a deep convo and I didn't nom her just painting rebeckah in a worser light only hope voters who hate rebeckah are still motivated to vote since the to-save vote skews things slightly

Was this recounted because "housemates are forbidden to discuss nominations" ?

that's right

ah.

after saying he thought rebeckah definitely had voted for her harry said to heaven I bet you voted for rebeckah and heaven believably reactively said I never having not realising the ramification of her words and then immediately said I'm not supposed to say that...but...well I never and that's the truth

Viewing figures under a million for the first time on Saturday night.

They should stop broadcasting but keep the housemates in doing tasks and stuff and see how long it takes them to notice no-one's being evicted.

I have yet to see an episode of this since the second week of the celeb one. I keep meaning to check it out but then keep not getting round to it.

reasons for not watching, or missing it, include:

1. Oh something else is on at the same time
2. how about..
3. forgot.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Big_Brother_2011_housemates_(UK)

why is a good chunk of this about when each housemate has been naked on camera

The word 'penis' appears 27 times on that page.

well you know

Jay has kept his penis off camera to date.

well done Jay

It's wikipeenia.

The person who wrote that page sure is anal about penis...

...

Anton's penis was seen to be the largest of all the male housemate's penises and much thicker and less floppy than Tom's.

This page is killing me.

I am dying that each cock description has a footnote

yas rebeckah out

So, Rebeckah is out.

And the rule of "whenever a female is nominated against male, Female loses", means Heaven is over.

probably but would rather aden went I think aaron has my total sympathy this past week faye quite thick and rubbish tom was bad anton shite in the diary room despite thinking he's amazing and entertaining

and, so it was.

wonder who's next

aw

So, after winning the task and getting a large shopping budget, the posh bloke bought nothing but:

1) Bananas
2) Food Colouring
3) Chocolate
4) 'Frosties'
5) milk

..and laughed like a lunatic when they all found out.

i've watched this two or three times over the past week. it's actually pretty good. no one on it seems completely loathsome which wasn't the case with the last two ch4 ones.

have been away the past week and have some catching up to do

they do all seem to get on reasonably well but I will say again - they are all young and all english

apparently jay did a shit in the freezer earlier this week

not earlier this week

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAxkrh8CCqo

also wtf

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms43ybGI-Ew

he's a lad all right

jesus christ this is still on ?!!

good revive.

In reference both to the freezer shit incident and the series in general...

xp i know, sorry, but i've been waiting for ice road truckers to return for what seems like an eternity now. when does this finish?

Last day is the 11th November.

(I type FAST!)

And when the housemates come out, they'll still be as anonymous as when they went in.

Close to the end now.

Looks like the Geordie guy will walk it.

So, where does it all go from here? Reckon there will be another one next year?

Well:

Tonight, BB2011 ends.

Apparently, Celeb BB 2012 starts in January!

see you then

please don't let jay win

phew
