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 can't believe BB have given Speidi a death sentence. They need a miracle if their to stay on Wednesday. I guess the producers would rather Speidi went and got a full eviction night and BOTS show to themselves, for ratings sake, than have them come runners up in the final and get over looked that night.

They'd never try to expose their golden boy, Rylan, like that. I liked how Speidi wouldn't even engage him in a fight, it just made him even angrier! I hope they intentionally fail every task for the next 5 days and laugh in the other HMs faces afterwards.

I totally agree with what you said. I feel like BB/the producers only did this to Speidi in order to placate most of the British viewing public's "outrage" over BB playing favorites and giving Speidi special treatment throughout the series. I just wish they hadn't been so naive to fall for that set-up :p But I do agree that at this point since they have nothing to lose, they should just give producers and viewers what they want and go all out and fail every task that benefits the others, and then laugh in their faces about it. They're still getting paid regardless, lol. Make Rylan even angrier :p

Personally, i hope to god Spencer and Heidi don't win... it's actually scaring me how many ppl I see post that they want them to. Why on EARTH would you want to reward this pair more money... they are not the definition of winners. They are quite the opposite. They are delusional and despicable human beings. A right disgrace to Americans... Sure they are entertaining and great drama for the house. But surely they are not winning ppl over with their two faced trash talking that has continually escalated to nothing. I am fuming just as much as the housemates in there. Hope to god they lose. That's all i ask. :P In other news, yay for an interesting episode finally? haha

You have nothing to worry about, they aren't winning. Rylan is, and always was going to. I like them because they're the only ones doing anything to make a good show. Can you really imagine this series without them? The little entertainment that we have had has come from those 2. The others are just as 2 faced, they just aren't having it put on display. For example, after the eviction Tricia and Claire were in the bathroom talking about how appalled they were that Speidi were saved over Gillian.

How is that even remotely fair? If he couldn't commit fully to the show, then he shouldn't have been in this series. If he's getting silly information like the time, you know he's finding out other stuff, like who are and aren't popular outside. Seems like a very unfair advantage to me.
ILoveRW#163
It makes you wonder what else we don't know, I have no doubt that we would have never known this if Gillian hadn't said anything.
saltvinegar#164
These people are truly ridiculous. Claire absolutely would've put Speidi last, so why should they do anything to help her get her letter? It may not have been the "right" thing to do, but I can't fault them one bit. Heidi obviously wasn't clapping like "yayyy she doesn't get to hear from her kids" it was just a reaction to the awkward silence/death stares. I can understand Claire being upset and missing her family, so I hold nothing against her. In fact, I think she handled the situation the best of any of the rest of the HMs. And, why hasn't Rylan been told off for aggressive behavior like Razor was? His hissy fit of running around screaming was just as "agressive" as Razor yelling across the room at Spencer. The only difference between the 2 situations is that Rylan was too much of a pansy to even pitch that little fit to their faces.
202mitch#165
truthfully, Razor should not have been punished for that... there has been much worse in the house before.. Speidi just cried like babies to BB. Rylan yelling... there is no reason he should be punished for that. at all. That's the game... and they deserve it. Speidi are the biggest hypocrites i've ever seen in my life. They knew going in to that task if they failed Claire would not get her letter. They were told to be separated for a while. Nope not happening, that does not happen in our house. blah blah blah.... yet at the same time "its not a big deal Claire, you will see them in 4 days"... are you honestly serious? I don't know how much longer I can watch these two low-lifes.. thank god its almost over. And I laugh at how they think they are still relevant in today's media... no one has mentioned their names in the past 4 years. They are so irrelevant its laughable. They def. know how to push everyones buttons... but something tells me they are actually serious about most the stuff they say... and thats kinda scary that ppl like them exist. And they still have yet to realize they are the weirdest of the bunch.

I agree that Razor probably shouldn't have gotten in trouble for what he did, but BB set a precedent when they told him off. If Razor gets in trouble for yelling angrily, so should Rylan. Speidi know how irrelevant they are. If Claire couldn't deal with 3 weeks away from her kids, she shouldn't have done BB. She's been mopey all series, so she really hasn't done anything to earn a letter. Her feelings about leaving her kids aren't Speidi's problems. I think she handled herself well though, she wasn't even the one that blew the whole thing up.
202mitch#167
Speidi need to get off their ***** and do something. back to being a snoozefest. Can BB Canada start already? haha
ILoveRW#168
I've just realized they've changed the vote for tonights double eviction to a vote to win, so Speidi should be safe :D. I hope Tricia and Ryan go tonight, I'm still a week behind though lol.

I'm hoping for those 2 as well, but apparently Tricia is now bookies second favorite to win? I have no clue how that happened...

Going off CBBUK13 for a moment So i decided to check out the winter CBB last year today and ive seen the first two episodes.. already is a million times better than this current season. So many more young/beautiful ppl haha... I can see them all kicking off too. I hope they cast more models and reality tv stars along with big actors (if thats ever possible lol). One thing that has struck me is how sad it was seeing Kirk try to locate America, Canada, Australia, Jamaica, and South Africa on a map.... I was in shock! Even more so when several other housemates said they couldn't locate America on a map... what!? Are you telling me these ppl have never seen a map in their life? wow haha My favourites at the start are Gareth, Natalie, Nicola, and Georgia. As for the current season.. I'd like to see Frankie, Tricia, or Claire go tonight
ILoveRW#171
The last winter CBB was great. Keep watching because **** gets crazy one night, leading to some great TV. About the Geography thing, I think its kind of a generally thing in UK reality TV that the dumber you come across the more people like you, I guess it because its a childlike quality. Most of them were probably lying about not being able to locate America. But I wouldn't expect them to know where any of the major cities are.

Last winters was one of the best CBBs ever. It's very, very entertaining from start to finish! The twins were amazing <3

I guessed right :P Also, yay for my boys Razor, Ryan, and Rylan for making it to the finale!! rooting for them since day 1 :P 5 eps into the winter CBB2012.. love the housemates! even seems really interesting... loved the lightbulb task where they had to share their shameful stories about their past to get romeo his suitcase... that was fun! why didnt they do that this season?? great way for the housemates to share their secrets Not surprised by Andrew and Georgia.. didnt notice it until like the 4th ep, but Andrew is crazy and way to over emotional... and Georgia is just boring. I thought she could've brought more... although she looks so much like Kim K. without the *** its crazy! haha
ILoveRW#174
Totally forgot about Andrew, what a mess. You know, maybe a don't give the BBUK casting department enough credit because they have found some nutcases over the years.
saltvinegar#175
Obviously, we all knew the winner from day 1, but the order of who went tonight shocked me! How Ryan got 3rd I will never know.
ILoveRW#176
5th season in a row to be won by an LGBT person, just an interesting point. Another terrible winner, though I guess he was better than Julian and the guy from the last normal season.

I really don't know how Julian won. I didn't mind Luke A winning, but I would've much preferred Deanna. Overall, this wasn't one of my favorite CBBs, but there've been worse.

Just watched BOTS, that show gets more bizarre every time I watch it. I thought I was tripping for a second.
202mitch#179
BOTS is def an oddball show but i enjoy it... i'd enjoy it more is jamie was host though, he cracks me up! I like BOTS for the housemate interviews, the "news" segment, and the "exclusives". Some of it is reallly stupid tho... like fortune tellers and the bad skits. Happy for Rylan! Very predictable ending to the series other than Razor going 5th... I was expecting it to go Claire, Ryan, Razor, Speidi, Rylan. Otherwise a very boring season... wasnt impressed with it as I am the 9th series. The house in the 9th is so much more lively and the tasks are so much more fun (the fairytale thing was really funny) I really hope they cast a good BBUK14 this summer.... last summer they had a great group of ppl that made good tv so I hope they can do it again! As for now we wait till BBCanada in one months time. Hopefully its good (even though its US format :() If they order another season I'm def. trying out... why not! It would be a fun experience :P

Last night was the only the second BOTS that I've seen for this series, and I only watched the other one because Aisleyne was on it, but it was very odd. I've watched it regularly in other series, but I'd heard that it was very negative this season, so I just stayed away. I really enjoyed the fun ending that they had with the random Tina from S Club appearence.
ILoveRW#181
I will only watch BOTS is something has happened in the house that I want to know more about, not that they ever really tell you any more info. Other than that, unless Pete Burns is on, I'm not watching.

I'm actually looking forward to season 14, I hope they can get a solid cast. Since BB move to channel 5 they seem to cast half the people as really entertaining and the other half really boring, and by the midpoint of the season none of the entertaining people are left

Oh that who that was, i thought it was just some girl from production who they thought could sing well enough to do a part of the song.
