Behind the Screen: Big Brother UK

Big Brother remains one of the most-watched summer staples in American television, with its unique format of 24/7 live feeds giving superfans an unmatched window into the social dynamics of the game.

The show's blend of strategic gameplay, showmances, and blindsides has fueled one of the most dedicated online fanbases in reality TV — and Vevmo has been at the center of that conversation for years.

I find myself liking Lacey more and more each episode. If Speidi can't win (which we all know they won't) then I'd love it to be her...

Spiedi already won the Hills and I'm A Celebrity. I don't think they should win this...

Spoiler too bad she's probably leaving this week. Better her than Speidi though.

Spiedi already won the Hills and I'm A Celebrity...I don't think they should win this. Though the prize should be a trip out of the spotlight. Is there anyway only Heidi can win?

The Hills was not a reality competition. Nobody won. And they quit I'm A Celebrity the first week. They are good TV but their really started to get to me. Their babies and WILL quit the show if they don't have their way.

Except Lauren. She's the only winner from that show. ;)

Oh, I think there was a competition (though unofficial) among cast members on The Hills. ;)

I haven't seen the past few days but reading websites, I'm a tad annoyed at Speidi for trying to hold on to the basement as their own private room. I don't mind Big Brother giving them special treatment, its when they think their entitled to special treatment that it starts to **** me off.

Those 2 are reality tv pros, they know what they're doing. This is all just guessing, but they probably threw a hissy fit in the diary room after the fight and threatened to leave if they weren't seperated from the others. The producers are just too scared to call their bluff. As long as they give the producers what they want, they'll get whatever they want.

True. It reminds me of the season 3 Jersey Shore living arrangements when Sammi and Ron try to take over aka arrived at the house first.

I hope at least Gillian goes! To be honest, I don't know how anyone could possibly vote for her to stay, she's the Purple Kelly of CBB.
ILoveRW#133
I'm about 3 days behind now. Has Trica done much, as of recent? I'd image she'd go over Gillian if she still hasn't said a word. I love how BB is blatantly trying to keep Speidi in. Although I don't think they will manipulate the next nominations, since if Speidi go then it won't matter if it gets boring because the final is 2 days after.

She's been getting a little bit more airtime lately speaking out against Sepidi, but Gillian has still been nonexistent.

How big was Steps in the UK? S Club was pretty popular in the US, but I'd never heard of Steps until Ian in CBB5(although Tragedy does sound very familiar). I ask because both Claire and Ian made it very far without being particularly interesting, so I assume they're pretty famous with a very loyal fan base.

Never heard of Steps either so they weren't big in Canada like S Club.... but they all seem to know her so i guess it was big back in the day and they just reunited... that doesnt happen for many groups. Im happy and a little dissapointed Gillian was the first "boring person" out. I mean, i'm happy the public are taking out the boring ppl finally, but I saw Tricia and Claire going before her... I thought Gillian was at least fun and funny to watch. I also wish they did a surprise double elim... but that never happened lol I hope the box of hot topics stirs up some good discussion on important matters. Maybe it will even cause a bit of drama? One can only hope lol It sucks if this is your first season of CBB or BBUK in general because the last CBB and BBUK13 were awesome... non stop fun and drama. This season has been such a dud... so many boring ppl and nobody wants to get on anyones bad side... someone in that house needs to grow a pair of balls... Spencer is all talk but he never actually says to housemates what he tells us hes going to say to them... They continually say how much they hate them, then they go back in the house and there all happy go lucky and fake. Talking trash isn't entertaining, creating drama is.

Steps were much more successful than S Club 7 both in the UK and world wide. I would assume the reason S Club 7 managed to become known in the US and Canada is because of those TV films they did, I can't imagine they ever sold many records in the US.

I think the last CBB was a little meh for me, but the one last winter was one of the best ever imo. BB13 was a great season, it felt like one of the old school Channel 4 seasons. I just wish Deana had won, then it would've been perfect.

Their show on ABC Family was when I first heard of them, but their music did pretty well here I think. I can remember it was played on the radio and songs like Never Had a Dream Come True, Reach, etc. were pretty popular when I was in middle school. I was in love with Rachel back in the day. Too bad we'll probably never, ever see any of them on CBB ever again.

I would assume that after the fiasco with Jo none of the others would want to be associated with the show. But now that I think about it, most of them probably aren't doing much, so they may need the check.

Oh yeah S Club was huuuuge in the states and canada... their long running tv series that lasted years and movies along with their two hit albums "S Club" and "7"... i can remember the lyrics to tons of their songs too! haha I heard Jo was on that one controversial season with racism and stuff. I even had S Club favourites Hanna, Jon, and Rachel lol... that'd be awesome if they came on the show again... why not? because of Jo's season? Well you gotta admit the summer CBB was a lot more entertaining than this.. we had Julie and Colleens rivalry, the Danica love triangle, Jasmine, The bro alliance... maybe it was because there were more young ppl, cause atm this season has nothing going for it other than Rylan's witty comments and Speidi's trash talking
Nostalgic#143
******* love S Club as well. Didn't Bradley die. I always thought Jon was DL. ReacH, LoveTrain, Two in a million are my favorite tracks.

FYI Steps isn't popular in the States though.

I loved S Club! Their songs were very catchy. Jo got a TON of hate after her season. Her and Jade had it as bad as anyone ever did after CBB. I actually read that someone threw a beer bottle at Jo's head at a bar performance because of CBB. The summer CBB wasn't terrible, it just wasn't one of my personal favorites. I really liked Colleen and wish she would've won, but that's partly because I didn't like Julian or Julie. I liked the three guys as well. Danica was a great BB villian, even Jasmine was great entertainment while she was there too.

Yeah pretty sure most would be gagging. Anyway Steps were so much better than S Club 7, they weren't even on the same level. Maybe I was just too old for S Club 7 but their music was just pure cheese for me. Don't get me wrong steps were super cheesy too, but at least all their songs had a dance beat behind them.

Hahaha love that song! I think Steps had more of a Brit-pop sound, which is why they never really made it in the Us/Canada, whereas british groups like S Club, the Spice Girls, or even currently One Direction have more of a universal sound.
