I'd say it's 50/50. In a game like this, where we can witness all the goings on, it's highly likely the winner will be someone very unpopular. It's not easy getting to the final two It usually takes a lot of double crossing, breaking promises and lying to get there. That's what makes it so interesting. We get to witness the trickery and lies as they'll promise one thing then go back to their alliance and announce they were lying, etc. Having seen all this hgs before makes it even more interesting. They are all playing in different ways. Some are sitting back and just watching how the house is forming, others already have a strong alliance(BB6), and one, foolishly tried to play the game too soon and she may be on her way out next week.

You don't download them. You just click and view. You may need to download a small flashplayer file if they won't play for you.

My money is on Nakomis to win this. She is a smart girl without being nasty with it, is good at competitions and she is being completely underestimated by the others in the house.

She's playing a good game right now, but it's so hard to predict what's going to happen since things can change so quickly in there.

US BB is a more grown-up show than the UK BB, because it's so much more about strategy and gameplay rather than the winner being picked by the 15 year old girls of the UK based on who they fancy or feel sorry for. I also prefer the sharp editing - none of this "Day 15, suzie is in the kitchen making a cup of tea" nonsense. They obviously have a huge budget as well, in comparison with UK BB. That first game with the spinning platform and giant boulder - that probably cost what it took to build and furnish the entire BB UK house.

This season promises to be the best yet. I love the twist with the 2 heads of household. And it's good they've brought back all the best schemers. As unlikeable as Alison is, I enjoy watching her evil manipulation, backstabbing and slagging people off in the diary room, hope she stays.

Poor Chicken George though - lamb to the slaughter!

I don't think the next episode is until Tuesday night.

The cbs website is hosting all the episodes free the day after though I just got a load of adverts when I tried to play one. I'm downloading via bit torrent instead.

We all have our favorites and sometimes it gets hard not to hate someone, but really in this game you have to respect their play if it gets them far in the game. Some of it is luck, but usually at least one of the final two has fought hard to get there and made a lot of undesirable moves. I know what you mean about George, but it may take him far as they all go after each other and overlook him as someone who can be taken out at anytime.

I forgot to mention, I saw Janelle in Minneapolis a few weeks ago at the gay pride festival. This was before the show started and was obviously the reason why she was in the area. Her best friend from high school is gay and lives in Minneapolis. I saw her with him. She's just as beautiful in person as she is on the show.

And tot he person who is wondering about Kaysar's sexuality. From what I understand he's straight. He's an Iraqi-American who is very religious. I believe last year he explained to the housemates that he does not believe in sex before marriage. He's a great guy.

If you use firefox, there's an extension you can install (VideoDownloader) that lets you download certain video streams, including from youtube, to your hard drive. I've only used it a couple of times but seems to work ok. I d/l'd CinemaForge to convert the flv file to a wmv file too, or you can d/l a player to play the files on your computer. All free.

Oh right. I guess Will was just being silly then, I watched some Live Feed where Will and Marcellas were talking about him 'not getting any' and saying it must be hard to be a gay muslim!!

One of the news items on this site, Richard has said he think BB USA is better than Uk version. Then let's send Richard over there.
He is saying "yeah yeah yeah" more than any Beatles song ever did !!! - how irritating

I really don't think it would.
UKBB is a personality contest, BBUSA is a strategic game. In the UK it'd be obvious from the moment they walked in who was going to do well and who wasn't, plus I am not sure how many of them would go back for seconds thanks to the way they got portrayed/were treated by the public!

You don't have to live in the US, here's the link


http://forums.jokersupdates.com/ubbt...Number=3277508

the first show is in 5 parts

Here's the lastest BBUS peeps.......Janelle won veto this week, so Danielle and Alison's nominations still stand, she won't take either of them off. And they're still wavering about which one to vote off.
Also got the answer to a question that bugged me all last year about Howie and his missing finger. Apparently when he was younger they used to make bombs and firecrackers for fun Anyhoooo, one of the bombs went off in his hand and he claims he's lucky he just lost a finger.
Well, back to my live updates

I tell ya, those guys minds never stop working. Some of them are talking to janie and suggesting taking Danielle off and putting Dr Evil up and getting rid of him, others are suggesting taking Ali off and putting james or Chicken George up. It's all go go go
Apparently, Ali has already packed her bags, she thinks she's a goner, and what I find really interesting is janie and Marcellas have a secret alliance
Curiouser and curiouser

I haven't been into this year's US version yet, although I do have it recorded on my DVR box. It's the allstar version so it's the greatest players from the past seven seasons. Part of the fun for me is to get to know each of the different people as they come in the door and figure out who they will form alliances with. It's really apparent that the BB6 season will be stuck together like glue.

Unlike most people, I like the UK version better. It's on more often and I really do enjoy the Russel and Dermot's shows as well.

Also, watching both versions at the same time can severly limit a person's summer activities! Most my friends think I am nuts.
