It seams like every time i scan down the main page something else is there to spoil BBUSA before it has even aired.

I knew Brendon won HOH meaning Rachel but have been evicted they spoiled Hayden winning HoH and even spoiled Annies eviction.

Looking today has also given me an idea of who is going to be evicted next week.

I don't go looking for this information but when it is on the main digitalspy homepage withtitles that leave nothing to the imagination like Brendon wins HoH,please give some thought to the viewers of these shows that do not want to have them spoiled.

Face it.. BBUSA is a big spoilfest due to the TV episodes so far behind the reality on the feeds.

but they need to keep it out of their news stories, or label them as "SPOILER - Scroll down 3 miles to read the post", like they do with other TV shows.

Just finished watching last nights Nominations episode and my DS RSS feed has a couple of new BBUS stories - I read the one about the Hayden/Enzo/Brenden 'athlete alliance' - as it was only touched on in the show, and it tells me the winner of the PoV - it doesn't air until Wednesday!

I have posted this sort of thing before. It doesn't make sense for DS to have such quick spoiler headlines. The show isn't aired in the UK, so we are all using various means of getting our info. And that can take a few hours. The casual visitor to DS won't give a hoot who wins what, so there is no newsworthiness for anybody who isn't downloading the show. So PLEASE give us to time to watch the eps in blissful ignorance.

While I agree the stories should be marked with spoiler warnings etc, there is actually an american version of DS and many of the stories are posted on both.

It is very annoying though, I've had to stop going on the main page.

I try to only use the sites/feeds involving bb:usa between wednesday-saturday because I've seen the episode with the veto and the HOH/eviction on thursday.

Thing is with the competitions all happening so soon before the shows if I use any of the sites/feeds it spoils the competitions when im watching them on the highlights, and I much prefer not knowing who wins the competition till I actually see it.

It's the veto in particular that always gets spoiled for me, and/or replacement nominee, ive been spoiled loads this season but its mostly because im not strict enough of myself to avoid the sites/feeds or forums like this!

I have emailed DS about this before and got the most minimal of auto replies back from them. It's so hard to come on here without having watched the latest episode as it aired in America and avoid spoilers of any kind.

Isn't BBUK spoiled then? The only difference is that there is a show every 24hrs.

Moreover if you really want to be uptodate about BBUSA you need to watch feeds or read feed reports since their shows are overedited and show stuff out of chronological order and 3-4 days after it happened.

Anyway, just my opinion.

You are missing the point.

The UK BB is less about competition than that US one and if they posted spoilers 4 days before they happened saying on Friday X will be evicted then i think people would get damn angry which is what is happening with BBUSA.

I notriced today they have managed toi spoil the following in just 1 headline

Who goes this week
Who wins HoH next week
and maybe a new alliance that has formed

I have e-mailed digitalspy but it seams like they do not care enough about their readers to do anything

You are missing the point that BBUSA is even more about the feeds than BBUK. BBUSA is a much bigger, semi-scripted, gameshow with way less viewer interference than BBUK.

I'm going to leave the argument at that. You clearly have your opinion and I have mine and that's fine
