I've watched the first episode and don't really like it. I've found that as long as I don't think of it as Big Brother it's entertaining enough, though. I think I'd enjoy it more watching the live feed. But since they only have 3 'highlights' shows per week, the HMs all feel very one dimensional, and the whole thing just seems a lot more staged.

Judge it by the feeds.

You can get up to a 14 day free trial I believe.

Im not into watching live feeds to be honest, I never watch the live feed for the uk one. I enjoyed the US one they showed on e4 a few years ago so hopefully ill enjoy this one too.

I really enjoy the US version. It is very different. Shame they don't show it over here.

If you are downloading it from the big brother newsgroup they also post quite alot of live feed captures.

Infact just looking now someone posted from 9pm (when the feeds went live) up until nearly 3am.

Didn't know that. Got a link?

EDIT: Just now realised this is a stupid question. Highlights shows only for me, then.

Someone uploaded the show in 5 parts on youtube around midnight last night. The show links are on the following post:

I am watching the streaming and ours at the same time. I am starting to go very cross-eyed.

Just watched the first ep. It was awesome. The HoH competition was very funny.

But I wasn't happy with the two nominees...

I just finished downloading it, I loooooove it and can't wait to see it, a bit too late to start tonight though.
I know who's gone in and sitting there night after night clicking on my faves has worked, as they've all managed to get in, so I am totally happy.
They have 2 HOH's this year and already got 2 nominees.
OOOOh I'm so excited, this will be my 5th year watching it, a whole different concept to BB here really, but way more of a mind game because of the alliances and everything. The jury also adds a major twist because you don't want to pee off the people you evict as they form the jury and if you make it through to the final 2, they decide who gets the money. It's a very fine line.
OOOOOOH can't wait

I've watched bits of pieces of previous seasons. This will be my first proper season (excluding BB4 which was shown on tv).

It's very addictive - and I love all the HM's. They are all so spunky. It'll be sad to see any of them get evicted. I love all of them...

Ok, I couldn't wait, had to start watching it now
I am so glad Jedi Howie, Janelle and Kaysar came back, they got so screwed last year. Ok, so Howie is just for entertainment, but ya gotta admire how well janelle did, they wanted her out the first week and she made it to the final 3, what a game player, can't wait for the next couple of months.

Yup. Gotta love Janelle!

I hope she does well this year, but something tell me she'll be voted out early. She's too much of a threat.

Not sure, this is my first year downloading, have lived in Canada for quite a few years and have watched it on the tv. I just download through bit torrent, but if it's streaming, it's faster, so I'm going to check it out for the next show on Tues.
Will and Mike Boogie have gotta go though.
Here's hoping

I kind of like them. I especially loved the little speech Will gave at the end - about how he was insulted that they didn't nominate him.

I think you'll get your wish though. He's the only previous winner, so he's bound to get evicted sooner rather than later.

Alison is one to watch out for, she'll align herself with anyone, and she'll chop and change from week to week. She'll end up with several secret alliances if they're not careful

Alison is brilliant. She's really got her head screwed on

I just hope she manages to escape eviction this week. It'd be a shame if we lose such a great player so early on.

James is also a really good player. They wanted to nominate him week after week, but he managed to win the veto week after week and ended up having to back door him in the end. Was quite sad really, but hey when ya gotta go ya gotta go
