BIG BROTHER, Live & Uncensored, To Air Three Hours A Night Seven Days A Week On Showtime Too!!
I am – Hercules!!
Rabid “Big Brother” fans (like me) are getting more than their usual bleeped and blurred hours on CBS three nights a week this summer.
This season, CBS’ premium-cable sister channel ShoToo will transmit live feeds from the Big Brother house 9 p.m. till midnight PT seven days a week.
Because ShoToo is premium cable, that means uncensored language and nakedness.
Both the CBS and ShoToo versions of the show premiere July 5.
I note that ShoToo is offered by both DirecTV and Time Warner cable as part of their standard Showtime packages.
The ShoToo show won’t be terribly different, of course, from the “Big Brother” feeds RealNetworks has traditionally offered 24/7 on the Internet during the contest – but one imagines ShoToo will offer better resolution (and maybe fewer blackouts?) than RealNetwork’s feeds. (Sadly, ShoToo appears to be available nowhere yet in HD.)
Viewers can still get the 24/7 RealNetwork feeds this year, but the price has risen to $14.99 per month, according to Monday morning’s Variety.
CBS also revealed that the network version of “Big Brother” would take over “Pirate Master’s” 8 p.m. Thursday timeslot, with “Pirate Master” moving to 8 p.m. Tuesdays.
CBS will also air weekly hourlong “Big Brother” editions at 8 p.m. Sundays and 9 p.m. Tuesdays (the latter immediately following “Pirate Master” installments).

as long as they don't black it out as much as the internet feeds. i'm not staring at a stupid fish tank for three hours.
-
those fishtank shots have gotta go go go ...

I just can't imagine a Big Brother house without Janelle.
-
I couldn't stand to see her shallow face one more moment. This season I hope will be more dramatic than the past years. I am also estatic that Never-Was-King Kaysar wont be on. He was an arrogant prick from the get go!
-
Although I loved Janelle and I kinda liked Kaysar (though he was pretentious), the real deal was James. He played the game well, not as well as Janie did, but he didn't suck up and pretend to be buddy-buddy. Yeah he whined a bit, but for some reason he was still my favorite. It'll be weird going to a house full of new people this year after two years of seeing the same folks. I'm ready for those feeds, though. If I'm gonna chalk up some money for this show, it's cheaper to pay $15/month for 24/7 feeds than who knows how much to subscribe to a Showtime package and only get 3 hours a night.

I don't think North American culture can get any more "dumbed down"

Even on the premium paid-for internet feeds, it's very very censored. Definitely not worth $15 per month. If someone is about to disrobe, the camera switches to show the front of the house. If someone starts talking about CBS business practices, camera goes to Front of House (FOH)... If someone starts talking shit about someone outside the house, CBS goes to FOH to avoid potential lawsuits. If someone does something truly shocking, they go to FOH so they can save it for the TV broadcast (after censoring and editing of course). IMHO the whole sales pitch of 24 hour round the clock live internet feeds is a huge lie, and probably worthy of a class action lawsuit by anyone who ever paid for it. If I had said this on BB, you would be seeing the FOH before the words came out of my mouth because it's all on delay for just that reason.

Big blunder continues to roll on. A quick update. There are two versions of Big brother in the UK. Big Brother currently in its 8 series. More on that later. A celebrity version. In the UK/Ireland we dont have proper celebs anymore. Media Whores like George Galloway, liverpool singer pete burns and glamour model Jodie marsh, tracy bingham and dennis rodman. How dennis rodman heard about this show or what he was doing on the show, no one knows or cares for that matter. Pete Burns launched a racist diatribe against bingham. there was no outcry, no arrests. The only fuss was over pete burns gorrilla coat and galloway pretending drink an invsible bowl of milk. Barrymore tore strips of Jodie Marsh in the worst case of bullying that anyone in the uk/ireland had ever seen and the show sank to a new low. It couldnt get any lower? right.....
This year, the ratings for celebrity big brother's first days were 0. In the house amongst others were bollywood star shilpa shetty ex-clubber jo O meara and Danielle Loyd. Ratings were still 0, when the producers pulled a suprise, They revealed, that a family were moving and that family were the goodys. When Jade Goody first entered big brother, some years ago, she was trahsed by the tabloids as fat thick little oaf and gradually over time she gained a sort of respect, when she built an 8 million pound empire around her. What did she gain by re-entering the house. Nothing. It became clear that Shilpa shetty's indian way of doing things got under peoples skin. the constant need to do things for people, including cooking angered the housemates so quckly that Goody, loyd and O'meara, started having a go, the viewers were horrified. Ch4 were slow to act. Ratings, ratings, ratings. The car phone warehouse, terminated its sponsorhip of the program, they were replaced by VIrgin Mobile. Jade Goody was in the end destroyed by the program that made her. O'meara ended nearly commiting suicide after she was evicted. Channel 4 ended the live eviction grand finale. Goody went into rehab but not before spening time in an safehouse. Was this to be the end of BIg brother in the UK. Not is the answer. With Virgin mobile sponsoring the program, last week big brother 8 went on the air. Like in america, the UK, especially in london and elsewhere in Large cities, there is Gun Culture. So big brother decided as to organise a task a rap game. One of this years victims, is Emily Parr, a posh 23 year drama student. Getting in on the act, she used that common la street word NIGGA. so at approximately 3am the following morning, she was extracted from the house. A message was read by one of the other older contestants, that the rules had been broken and that Big brother had acted accordingly. was that the end of the matter. No. Channel 4's respone to this was to have a discussion/debate, the next night with george galloway but as they werent allowed use the N word, the whole thing degenerated into farce. I would like to make the point. That I havent been watching big brother at all. as like most people in the UK/ireland are fed up with it. I mean what is really entertaing about bunch of Noisy women. Thats is all that BB has degenerated into Noise and farce. My heart goes out to Davina McCall, who clearly doesnt want to do this show anymore as much as the people dont want to watch this show anymore. -
...viewers on Channel4's sister station E4 can watch live coverage 24/7 by pressing the red button on their remotes and going interactive, I remember when this was first introduced a few series ago and you could actually choose which camera to view the house from, I thought this to be quite a smart edition, ya know actual "interactivity" in watching television, although it turned out that big brother is as dull as dishwater and a complete waste of this technology, much better used in live football games i must say. anyhoo the point being that more of this programme "live" is not a good thing, the censorship means the whole thing won't be live anyway, here in uk the "live" feed is delayed by around 10mins (possibly more) because the stupid individuals who go on the show would find themselves under a mountain of lawsuits once evicted for the amount of slander they spouted during their time in the house, solely due to the fact that none of them have the slightest idea of what goes on in the real world and with real people who don't pimp themselves out for personal gain. Just this week I was told of a girl currently taking part who asked big brother "have I been here long enough to become really famous yet?", this was after about 5 days. Seriously people don't watch this show. If you wanna see naked people watch porn, if you wanna see more swearing watch a Paul Verhoeven movie. Just don't watch this show!!!

its a fucking joke of a show filled with sad cunts playing up to the camera in the hope of getting 5 worthless minutes of fame when their useless bodies are fucked back into the world and as for the people that watch that shite your even fucking worse you sad cunts. Are your lives that fucking boring and meaningless that you need to fill your hours watching equally vapid cretins doing sweet fuck all?

Have you seen the appalling Britains Got Talent. With Simon Cowell, Amanda "plank of wood" Holden and piers Morgan. After watching this show which goes on for 9, yes 9 days. I am left to ask what talent. Ant and Dec certainly dont have any. I would like to point out that I didnt watch any of this rubbish. Mind you when it gets to the stage that ANt and Dec are getting more money then simon cowell, there is something wrong. and finally why was it necessary to give a hour to simon Cowell on this is your life. I dont why ITV thought this arrogant bastard was an ideal choice for this once great now joke of a program. Ricky gervaise was funny though, and if you saw This is your life with Simon Cowell, you had to applaud Ricky Gervaise. Simon Cowell is a bastard. At least he apologised to louis walsh. Kate has yet to get hers. What mean Swine. He told her that she was still presenting the program and 24 hours later told the press she was axed. In conclusion the point of britains got talent is to win a spot on the royal variety show. Good, it means we will never hear from any of them again. I have some sympathy for the royals. I mean imagine going to that turkeyfest, for the rest of your life. At least the queen got to hand that on to Charles and Camilla. Liz and phil get to have quiet night in and early night.

Well summarized about Big Brother, spot on about nearly everything but have to disagree with you about Shouty Davina. How can your heart go out to her? The bitch grates on me big time but if she didn’t want to be there there’s no one stopping her from walking. Methinks she has no other gig to speak of and that’s why she’s hanging in there. God, I hate her and then you hear Chris Moyle’s, (now there’s a face for radio!) the fat git drooling over her as if she’s some uber-babe! Now, for desperation, you should see Dermot whats-his-face on big brothers little sister or what-ever-the-fuck-its-called. That dude is in the last chance saloon.

More powah to anyone that has the time in their schedule to watch this show, but I had to give it up two seasons ago. Three nights a week (and now with a weekend update) was simply too much for me, and I never even subscribed to the live feeds.
-
9-12 pacific time?.....so what time is that for those of us who live in the normal part of the country?...
-
hmmm. I have to say that I agree with you about davina. She is a shouty bitch and in my mind my they should all be locked in that fucking house. Her and dermot Oleary and the utterly unfunny Brand, who rightly quit the show this year. It would give me great satisfaction to Have the pointless ant and dec hoodwinked into doing there own show. Imagine the look on their faces when within miuntes to go they are told they are doing the show this year. That there were no other guests. Seeing ant and dec doing the bush tucker trials. In fact all presenters involved with big brother on Uk tv should be forced to do Im a celebrity and that inludes you Davina.
-
Since you are having trouble converting Pacific time (to your own zone), we must assume that for you, the "normal" part of the country must mean appalachia?

I had a "Ha! Told you so" moment with my friend who has watched it for all 5 (? I think) seasons down here when recently the shows producers were exposed for being low down indefensible arseholes.
One of the housemates in a pre-show interview told them she'd had a miscarriage and to please for the sake of decency steer clear of this sort of stuff as it was all very sensitive. Of course the lowlife fucks made her carry out a task involving caring for one of those baby training dolls so everyone could enjoy her meltdown. It was revealed they knew full well about the miscarriage and still decided to go through with it in the name of 'entertainment'. Yes you can say what you want about sad people in pursuit of their 15 minutes of fame but nobody deserves that. Pathetic producer fucks I hope they rot in hell. -

Just bring back Evil Dr. Will to fuck with people and all will be forgiven, though.

Just make "Dr. Will versus the Retards" a yearly show.

He's the only guy who can make the show worth watching.

... I would like to apologize for us bringing this shite into the world. Just one step away from our second and third greatest 'inventions': slavery and apartheid.

I saw a clip of a Big Brother where this guy and chick had some major sex going on in a hot tub. I've seen other nudity and sex clips from BBs around the globe, but this was the most "pornish" I've ever seen. He was really giving it to her. I have no idea which BB that was (looked like UK) or from which season.

And he was played like a fool by legion of doom. The guy forgot it was a GAME and he literally behaved like he could have assaulted or killed someone.
