Big Brother 7 UK

Update: For anyone who watched the first episode, can I just say… Oh. My. God. I really do despair.

Oh blimey. Is it that time of year again already?

This year, they’ve gone and hidden 100 golden tickets in special Kit-kat bars around the UK, all of which go on sale tonight at 10.30pm. From all the people who find the tickets, one lucky winner will be selected at random to become the very latest to enter the Big Brother house.

To the north of the building you can see the audience barriers which the contestants will walk between on their way in, the stage they pose on (that’s the white splodge), and the steps up into the house itself. They change the layout of the interior and garden every year, but you can compare this to any of the last 4 floor plans if you like!

Thanks to Pete and his wife.

    In case anyone is interested, I can tell you this isn’t this years’ Big Brother house. The garden is smaller this year, and is roughly 8-shaped. They’ve lopped some bits off the south end of the garden.

    Also, if you go North and a bit west from here there’s a plane with a weird inverted shadow. There is also evidence of some kind of laser gun battle around nearby houses in Borehamwood. It’s really cool!

  2. Tim says:

    Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me. This is a prank that you Brits are playing on naive ‘ol me, the silly, clueless American, right? Do you seriously do this?

  3. Alex says:

    No I’m sorry this is no prank, I’m afraid we really do still do this. And it is *truly* terrifying.

  4. Keith T. says:

    I believe the Brits did it before the Americans. And the Germans did it before the Brits.

    While we’re here… Big Brother US House

  5. Ken says:

    OMG, it’s just terrible (again). All of them are just, awful.

    I guess it was the success of that GLC celebrity that made them put two welsh folk in there.

    While I’m sure that Pete guy has probably been diagnosed with Tourette’s, I get the feeling that he’s putting on the Coprolalia a bit much.

  6. Alex says:

    Ken, they do seem to be even worse than ever before don’t they? I mean, they haven’t even *pretended* to put any normal people in!

  7. Tim says:

    Pshh, get over yourselves. We in America have to put up with worse crap than that with our politics fer cryin’ out loud. Are there any Californians who would care to comment on the 2003 gubernatorial race, in which Arnold Schwarzenegger won?

    See, earlier, I was commenting on the Kit Kat golden ticket thing. I still don’t fully believe that.

    oooooooooooommmmmmmmggggggggggggggg

  9. BM of M says:

    it’s simply magnificent. Hopefully there could be a murder this year or maybe a ritual suicide.

  10. Alex says:

    lol! I had wondered if a suicide might be an option this year…

    Poor, poor mentally and socially incapacitated people.

  11. Alex says:

    In a strange echo of loren’s sentiments… oooommmmmgggg.

    Apparently they’ve actually put him on suicide watch.

    That’s it, I’m not watching it any more. And I’m definitely not looking up any more news about it.

  14. sherie tasha sarah says:

    hiya again

  15. Alex says:

    Hmm. I’m starting to wish I’d never posted this. It seems that this page is ranking highly on a search for Big Brother 7.

    P.S. Given where sherie tasha sarah’s IP address resolves to, I’d guess that her comments aren’t even ironic in the slightest…

  16. Mrb says:

    Your Google ranking is great on this thread considering the amount of Bollox Big Brother sites out there Alex, just take the traffic mate, it can only do you good. Sherie Tasha Sarah sound like well rounded individuals so maybe you, me, a couple of horses may just be able to satisfy there every need! whatdoyouthink? By the way watch out for the GSS search Dashboard Widget soon to be on the apple site!

  17. rachel says:

    i think nikki is a lovely lass but fuck is she pissing me off. if shes feeling cramped now whats she gunna feel like in a few more weeks and she keeps complaining. i think nikki and sezer would be a nice couple because nikki is being played by george and sezer is being played by imogen. grace is a bitch but not in an abovious sort of way just little things. Lea needs to stay away from the boys their a lot younger and im sure its not very comforting having a sack of ff or somthing size tits in your face. well apart from glyn who i think quite fancies her. so glade shabbaz is gone and dawn she was smelly and boring so was bonnie but i think she should have stayed as she didnt come out of her shell. richard is very smart getting everyone to like him as a father figure cause no one would think of nominating him. pete is wicked so is lisa but i think hes playing lisa as i think he kind of likes lea. miki is lovely but he just needs to stay aways from grace so that grace as no one cause she is treating the boys like shit. if it was a boy doing what grace was doing no one would like it and not like the boy so you know.

  20. Claire says:

    Oh my god! Can anyone else see what a bitch Grace is?! Imogen isn’t much better but Grace is one of those people that makes out like she’s everyones friend and then bitches behined their back.
    Not a fan.
    Plus don’t even get me starting on how she’s messing around Mikey, she just wants attention from it really. Poor Mikey, he is a bit dull not to see it though eh

  21. creamtangerine says:

    Get Grace outta there!!!!!!!!! What the heck, “i’m a mature 20 year old” my arse. Does she not have the most irritating EVERYTHING about her…. She’s so not doing herself any favours. I still say Pete to win what a HUNKY BLOKE haha, what a cutie. Felt very sorry for Nikki the past few days… xxxxx Love the cream

  22. Rebekah says:

    Grace.
    Really. What can I say, she’s a two faced cow! She is just playing Mikey, wanting attention, and as so as she leaves she’ll finish him and get with the first famous guy to speak to her.
    For a lugh…oh and fame would be nice i guess – Grace.
    Freak. That’s her reason fo going in the house. FAME!
    On the other hand, PETE!
