Big Brother (the TV show)

[mazdog]

it actually doesn't air on our cable systems at all. It might be on some of the higher end international satalite services.

I actually DL the "Daily" episodes thru BitTorrent. They are usually up for DLing about a hour or two after they air there....then i just watch them at my leisure.

I also do the same thing with the car programs Top Gear and Fifth Gear. Those shows at their worst are signifcantly better than the crap car programs they have here.

just to drift away from BB for a moment but staying on the car theme, I've seen a few episodes of Overhaulin'... compared to pimp my ride and pimp my ride UK... those Overhaulin' guys really do what they say and totally rebuild and recreate the entire car... obviously they have done some poorer overhauls but on the whole it's quite amazing to do what they do in such a short period of time, I like that show.

is that the tim westwood one??? i love tim westwood he is so gangsta...an inspiration to us all

Overhaulin is good...i see it once in awhile. That guy Chip Foose is amazing...some of his one-off full customs cars are INSANE.
Do you guys get American Hot ROd over there. Its based on Boyd Cottingtons shop that builds these amzing hot rods.

I guess i like our american car-building shows, just can't beat Top Gear and Fifth gear for car-review type shows.

Any of you Britons (is that the right word??) watching this season of Big Brother UK?

I'm a bit of a "reality TV" fan, but most of the US "reality" shows have gone to shit. So last year/season i started downloading some fo the BBUK shows and got completely hooked! This year i heard about it before the season started so i've been watching it quite religiously.

Yes i know i'm weird but i just need quailty entertainment and most of the US TV shows just don't cut it anymore.....thank god for HBO and the Internet!!

Quality entertainment?

Big brother?

thanks for the early morning laugh, mind you this may say more about the quality of u.s tv than u.k tv.

I think "no coment" is the only way forward with this

They should have voted Cowboy in again, he lives a town over I met him a few times. A true idiot with some wicked teeth, they put Austin Powers to shame.

TBH I reckon you got a point there, its pretty trashy telly. Before anyone asks "yes" I have watched some of it. Its virtually impossible to miss it its on so often but as far as "quality" I would have to say...nah.
