Seems Live Feed is only happening on a Friday and that will be only 60 minutes tops

Good Morning Everyone.:+))))))))))))))

A nice weekend expected, 18C here so hope it's nice where you are.


Hi Barra, they might split the HM's up later in the show, it could be to have each side going against each other in tasks etc, also with 2 small groups it could be a lot easier to manage them.


Oh dear, what a blow.

Good afternoon.

Not as sunny and bright as the last few days but still rather pleasant with temps forecast to reach 22c.

Hope everyone enjoys the long weekend.

Good Afternoon Eddy.:+)))))))))))))

Nice here, some cloud but warm, pleasant thouigh as you say.

Hello all

Wow, Fellow Lurkers, Alesha Dixon has legs!! So do we all, dear, you don't have to keep showing us what legs look like... *rolly eyed smile* Or did someone not have time to sew up the side seams on your frock tonight??


and on very late too..

Good Morning Everyone.:+)))))))))))))))

Another lovely day expected.


Hi Moots.:+))))))))))))))))

You don't like legs then, i love them, if you have it flaunt it, why sew side seems, freedom of movement, less strain on the material, split skirts and dresses all the rage, mainly for those in show business more the norm.
I never complain, wonder why?

Hi there Hicky. Good morning all.

Morning everyone.

I am amazed and full of admiration that you can type at all, Dix, after that. You have done brilliantly. I (and i am sure everyone) will be cheering you on!

It cant be for freedom of movement if they can barely walk in stupid-shoes. Why not stick to shorts and pumps? She would still look terrific and probably be more comfy.

How the heck did a crap magician who failed their trick win?

Hi Eddy.:+)))))))))))))))
Hope you enjoying a lovely day.


Hi Honey.:+))))))))))))))

It must just be style, it does look good, well to me it does.

Didn't watch the final, the public voting is very up the wall anyway.

I thought bringing on a Veteran at the end of his act probably had a lot to do with it, very manipulative........

It must be. See, if the veteran himself had done the trick I could understand it.
I thought the finale thing from Ashley Banjo was fabulous.

That is exactly it, the veteran coming on got a huge reaction but did not require any skill and was not part of what he did and so should not have been part of the act.

Yes the 10 year medley was good

Evening All


I do like legs, but there is a time and a place to flaunt them, and I didn't think it was appropriate in a family show. The fact is that most women don't prance around showing off their legs and front and side cleavage, and naked backs unless they are tarts. I liked Amanda's dress, didn't like that lipstick colour on her though.

I'm as puzzled as you are Honey. I could mostly work out how his tricks were done, anyway. I'm afraid I just couldn't watch the sword swallower or the gospel choir, and thought that apart from Beau, Jasmine and Wayne, and the Stormtroopers (once I had realised they were also a comedy act) it was a rather dreary final, lightened only by the Ashley Banjo bit at the end. I think the lad who sang wih his mum might have come a lot higher if he had sung with a non family member of his own age,...The young girl dancer was good but she performed some rather strange movements, to put it politely.
I wanted the middle aged ballet dancers to win...

8 days to go until you know what and it's dead as a doornail out there

Find it hard to hand write, and have to write a letter but can't even manage that, woeful really. Hope to do that on holiday

Maybe they're trying to get rid of the Summer Show for good, and concentrate on the Celeb one? There is a thought they might be playing it the US way, no public voting, and letting the HMs have it their own way, which isn't BB I know. Endemol shouldn't allow BB to be played in another way, but they don't seem to care that much, which makes me wonder how much they were paid not to make waves. BB without LF isn't BB!

Hello peeps


Richie, maybe the viewing public are bored with the format of archetypal "Quirky/Bubbly" (yaaaawn) characters, fauxmances and the feral screaming crowds on eviction day??



They would probably get more viewers by showing BBs from other countries at this stage, IF they aren't prepared to change things.

Good Afternoon Moots.:+)))))))))))))))

A lovely Bank Holiday Monday here.
20c at my place.

It will be interesting to see what the new format is, the present one isn't too good, as you say, if they learnt from BB in other countries then we could have a decent show.

Good Morning Everyone.:+))))))))))))))))

Another nice day for most, 18C here but lots of cloud around, lots of rain later for some, mainly in the East.

This time next week we will be getting excited for the start of BB later, well it starts at 9pm on the 7th.

Hi there Hicky, good morning all.

Wet, wet and wet here with a chilly breeze. Blooming umbrella was of little use whilst I stood at the bus stop as the rain was being blown sideways. All in all a horrible start to the day and we've been told it's likely to stay like this for most of the day.

Morning all.

I think you might well be right, Dix. It could be that they are going over to the american format, mixing celebs and normals, then dropping the normals next year.
If they insist on having no live feed (because they are morons) the American way is probably better because we dont need to know the people involved. I would sooner just watch Takeshi's Castle or Its a Knockout though.


I certainly am. I am a hairs breadth from not bothering at all this year.

I think the present format is fine, its just the way its produced that is a bit crap.


If I am in that situation I hold the umbrella against the wind and rain and pretend I'm fencing with it.

Hi Eddy.:+)))))))))))))))))

Sorry to hear you have the rain, yes, if it's windy umbrella's not much help to keep your legs dry.
Not seen any rain here yet, but with a strong wind things can change quick.


Hi Honey.:+)))))))))))))))

We'll know in a week what we are in for, i always enjoy it anyway, but it can always be improved.

Good morning.

At least it's dry today even though it is a little chilly. Yesterday was horrid. Quite cloudy at present but the sun appears to be struggling to get through. Fingers crossed that it manages it.

Plus! The man onstage with him was 92, how will he drag him around ? He or Philip, one won't be making this years variety show.
