Apologies if this topic has been covered already, I looked for it and I could not find it.

BB USA started yesterday and I'm wondering if anybody here has subrcibed already? Is there lots of editing and "chip chip" going on like in the UK or do they leave the interesting stuff on such as swearing and nudity?

I know they have 4 feeds available which is good, and you can watch it for just £6 per month. Should I go for it?

Why don't you try them and see! I did last year and I love US BB more than our one now if I'm honest.
( although you must bear in mind that it is TOTALLY different to ours )

I thought American TV was even more censored than ours, I didn't think you could swear or show any sexual content over there, even after 9pm? One Question though, how come they have Sex and the City,

btw just taken a look at their mugshots on the DS:BB site, and I stick by the fact they look like hollywood plastic rejects, one thing you can say for our lot, they do look like people you would see in the street!

In US TV, swearing and nudity is only allowed on subscription service, eg Sex and the City is on cable (HBO). I wanna know what the situation is like when it comes to the webcast.

As for the hollywood plastic rejects, when I dish out a fiver a month I do expect to watch people I can't see on my street for free.

They pretty much show everything on the US BB feeds except for the tasks and nominations. Not nearly as much “chip chip” as the UK BB.

steveuk it is quite a switch from ours to theirs (chalk & cheese) but once you get your head around it you will like it.

Let me tell you im watching the feeds now and all the girls are mostly good looking but they aren't prancing around in designer shades and hats.

Try the first episode off the newsgroups if you know how to use them. It is only 133MB.

I stand by my prediction that USBB will more than make up for this years shit the producers and hm have served up for us. Infact im surprised E4 is taking the show.

I think they dropped BB Africa because it is more entertaining than our own (i watched one ep off the net) which is strange because the last thing you would want to do is bring the USBB over.

ok so ive read a little bit about the kissing games going on over E4 but i have no interest any more.

Just watching the US feeds now and the lads are talking about their partners on the hammock. Makes for great viewing, its just a completely different beast now.

Also im liking a lot of the houseguests right now. Allison and Michelle really sweet girls. The Joe Cole look-a-like (Justin) and David seem like decent guys too.

It seems as though 4 houseguests have already had their cards marked.

Oh and...

I think the live feeds are OK when they work. I've heard a bit of swearing so they are not editing everything out. Ocassionally the feed goes to Front of HOuse for some reason.

there were some useful posts by Coljj & others about watching downloaded episodes but they appear to have disappeared now. Probably in the archives somewhere.

Don't know why E4 wants to delay by 16hrs. That's a crap idea.

Just go to www.cbs.com to get the feeds.

No, there is not as much editing on USA (hardly any so far) .. FOTH is for copyright stuff, like singing.

The USA may look plastic on their profiles but really they are not fake at all. As said before, nobody is wearing designer outfits and 'cool' hats. Id say bbuk have been much more wary of how they look or act.

The USA BB is very real. The TV show is very polished but the feeds are real. I dont know how E4 will cope as regards to editing. From what they edited on UK BB they are not going to be able to show half of this! That is why I think you are going to get a delay. I reckon E4 will cut a lot.

Get the feeds. They are WORTH it.

P.s More happened in the first 2 hours of the USA live Internet feeds than I saw in weeks of viewing BBUK.

Justin, Nathan and David are so gorgeous! BTW I think American guys beat the British bunch in the looks department- I've been to the States several times and I wish I could move there permanently!

Just a quick question about the live feeds guys.

There seems to be 2 different options to sign up - one is a season pass at $24.95 covering the entire run and the other is a Realone "superpass" with a 7 day trail and $9.95 a month.

Do both options provide the same content? On the season pass it says you get 4 streams and the "quad cam", do you get the same with the Realone "Superpass"?

they both seem to have the same re BB four feeds + the quad cam, but the monthly pass gives you access to other stuff (non BB related) as well. I just took the season pass, so not entirely sure what the other stuff is on the monthly pass.
