Does anybody know what days (and time) the nominations, Veto competion using/not using air live on the internet streams?

Oh... and does the US feed on E4 have a 16 hour delay? Meaning if it's 12 at night here it's six yesterday evening that were watching?

Thanks

E4 feeds should be synched up so that what you are watching UK time occurred at exactly that time on the previous day US BB time.

Example at 11:50 pm Sunday UK time you should see what happened 16 hours ago at 11:50 pm Saturday US BB time with the eight-hour time difference.

Most competitions, the veto meeting, and live evictions are not shown on the internet feeds, so who knows what E4 will get to show. The next such event for UK viewers is the veto meeting that occurred Sunday afternoon at around 1:00pm US BB time. We had back yard views for the short duration of the meeting on the internet feeds, but learned the results moments after conclusion.

A typical week usually goes like this (US BB times):
Eviction around 6:30 pm Wednesday during live show.
HoH competition around 6:50 pm Wednesday during live show.
Weekly food competition around 10:00 am Thursday.
Nomination ceremony usually around 5:00 pm Thursday.
Veto competition usually early Friday afternoon.
Luxury competition (not held every week) around noon Saturday.
Veto meeting early Sunday afternoon.

r151996,

Thanks a lot for such a concise answer. Now I can watch the internet feeds with an idea of what's happening what's going to happen and when it will happen...

Cheers!

Is this 16hrs permant or are they going to catch up with live events?

If not then following E4 is totally useless as there will be continual spoilers on the chat sites.

But with BB UK they make little attempt to keep the housemates to normal sleep patterns, so they end up being nocturnal with important interactions taking place around 2am anyway.

I would much prefer it was live on E4, and catch up what I missed seeing via web news sites such as this. Rather than the other way around.

Personally I prefer the delay on E4. It means that at least you're watching at the same time of day as it's actually happening in the US, even if it's 24 hours behind ( Eg: 12 noon Monday US = 12 noonTuesday UK ) that's how I understand it, correct me if I'm wrong please.

As long as people who want to give info on what's happening before we watch it are curtious enough to let everyone know on their threads or posts they are spoilers ( AS does Coljj, thanks mate ) we can avoid reading them if we choose to.

I think we need to know what time they get a call in the mornings by BB, if indeed they do, I would have thought they would be up by now.

Or someone to ask someone else what the time is & hear their reply.
