Hi can you tell me why on the Big Brother show, some things are blocked out i.e Adidas and brands on packets etc., but not others, it's just a comment daughter asked last night and I immediately said it's advertising, but she then pointed out they don't do it on all ?  does anyone know why?

Can't say I have noticed any brands.  What have you seen them on? 

Don't know about products but I thought George Galloway was making a bit of a statement by wearing the top that had CUBA across it.

I see what you mean... is that why Denis had a piece of black tape across his 'Gone Butch' (Von Dutch ;) ) cap?
    They put white labels over the coke,beer etc... but the washing up liquid and the carex hand soap didnt have labels covering their identity.

You people have eyes like hawks   I suppose it could be who has paid up and who hasn't ;)
PS BTW Chantelle to win!

Its probably more an indication of the entertainment value of the 'contestants' that my attention is more drawn to the washing up bottle!!! ;)

All this from someone who vowed not to watch this show!! called it chewing gum for the mind TV ...and is now addicted to it!!! there's no hope for me!!

From the snippets I've seen I wouldn't mind Chantelle, Preston or Maggot winning.

As for the advertising it's an interesting point.  Is attention being drawn to the product more because it has its name covered?  Attention is being drawn to products because of the obvious covering up which might then be causing viewers to work out the brands. A little bit of reverse psychology?  I agree about the uncovered products.  They have probably paid a fortune for the 'advertising'

I need Barrymore to win - I've got a tenner on him with Ladbrokes :D

Yes this is what we mean only certain brands are covered others aren't just wondered if anyone knew why, only one of those silly things bugging me!

Maybe its because the brands who are donating the stuff to be used in the house for free dont get the name covered up so its like free advertising in return, and the stuff big brothers production company have to pay for get covered up so its not free advertising, if that makes sense?

Lol.. the over preening of the accryllic hair can get a bit annoying, but yep! Chantelle would get my vote simply for the Irony of the only non 'Celeb' winning 'Celeb'BB. :D
Anyway in most cases she's acted with much better grace than those that should've known better!
  I do love Preston and Maggot too.... bit wishy washy at times though.

I don't think Maggot has done enough (or is good looking enough :)) to get himself noticed by the young girls that do the bulk of the voting.  Preston has done too much :D I don't think a lot of those girls will appreciate his behaviour with Chantelle when he has a girlfriend at home although it seems innocent enough to me and he has been a bit two faced at times which leaves Chantelle.  I do think she deserves it though.  She daft in an uneducated way but she's not silly.  She seems genuinely nice and has shown great integrity, for example when she wanted to throw the whole banking task rather than tell a lie, Preston showed no such reservation ;). Galloway described her as weak but she is anything but, standing up to the bullying with great strength even without the vocabulary or articulation of the older members.  She even seems to be able to use her natural good nature as a weapon when necessary, laughing, very genuinely, in the face of such attacks.
I'm not sure what career lies ahead of her if she does win though, she can't even really sing .  Maybe she could just be a "people's favourite" like Jade such is the nature of modern celebrity :rolleyes: :D

It's because it's considered to be advertising and they're not allowed to do that.

Sort of on the subject and sorry to hijack but why does the sound go on and off on the very late BB?

If they are talking about matters that need to be looked at by the legal eagles they cut it, for instance if they are talking about someone in the outside world.

I think its because they start to discuss things that they're not allowed to - they have contracts drawn up saying that they shouldnt' discuss other celebreties etc etc and I think that they cut the sound off if they're talking about stuff they shouldn't be. 

Hey HuskyGal - I'm sooo glad I'm not the only one to get wound up over the over preening of the accrylic hair!!  I feel like reaching into the tele and ripping it out of her head - STOP MESSING WITH IT!!  AND (I'm in full rant now) if your fringe gets in the way of your eyes that much CUT THE DAMN THING OFF!!!!!  

I think I need chocolate to calm me down!!  ;-)

:D :D :D
I'm sprinting Wonder woman style to the Choc machine as you read this!!!!
oh nooooo look at what evil barbie hair had driven you to Hailey!!!
:D

On Tuesday I saw a hairdressers in my town advertising 'Chantelle' and her hair, aparantly the person who did her extensions has won a special hair extensions award and they have a huge piccy of her in the window with a huge announcement! :rolleyes:

:D :D :D  You just managed to save me in time - The fingers were hovering over B4 (the code for Twirls) ;-)

It should be HuskyGal coming to save the day being pulled by her faithful Husky (that wonder woman girl was far over-rated - HuskyGal is so much better)  ;-)  :D  :D

:D :D :D
Im just off to see what it looks like when I wear my knickers over my tights, as all good Super Heroes do!!

:D  :D  Remember He-Man with his faithful sidekick Cringer (who turned into BattleCat - think that was the name) God, I'm showing my age!?!? 

Anyway - I'm just trying to imagine you - knickers over tights (at least not over head)!! - with Storm pulling you along ready to fight all that is wrong and evil in the world!!!  ;-)

Attention All CD'ers - we now have our very own Super Hero......(drum roll)...... HuskyGal with ever faithful Storm!!!  :D :D :D

Ok Hailey (said hiding Straight jacket behind my back)
Its clear to me perhaps I should let you have the chocolate as you seem to have gone delirious!!!
(Cringer and Battle cat???? PMSL!!! :D :D)

;-)  Chocolate and wine are well known sedatives that work with me - not too fussed which!!  :D

He-Man and Battlecat used to fight the evil Skelator!!!

lol - maybe I should go and lay down thinking about it!!  ;-)

lol... yep! I remember them...wasnt there He-mans sister or cousin or something called She-Ra!!!! (hahahahahahahahaha..why on earth are we having this conversation!!! lol) yep....time for a lie down in a darkened room..getting faaaaaar too Giddy! :p

Morning :D Just read back over our thread and wonder how on earth we managed to get from CBB to He-Man?!?!  Must have been something in the water here in Milton Keynes yesterday (nothing to do with the wine at lunchtime)!!  ;-)

And yes, I remember She-ra too!!  ;-)

Lol  Char,:D
Lack of chocolate (you) and Nicotine (me) Delirium I think ;) trying to be sensible is just making us silly!!!??

Oooooh don't mention that name Shera

One of my pups owners called her that as the children liked He-man :rolleyes::rolleyes: Poor little mite :rolleyes:

oh no,I shouldnt mock,knowing my luck and bad karma,
She'll be on 'Searching' when she gets out for a 'Teacup' Chi...Just like Paris Hilton :rolleyes: :D

Did anyone else notice on last nights show the time that dennis was evicted?? He went out at 10:29 but it was supposedly live at 11:05
I did wonder why on Wednesday on E4, when it was supposed to be CBB live at 10:30 the voice over said due to unforseen circumstances we can't go live to the house, obviously now I know it was because we'd already know that dennis had gone.:rolleyes:

Chantelle does my head in.  If she says "Oh God" one more time or flicks her hair again I will not be responsible for my actions.  I can be a little devil when roused.

I know exactly what you mean!! She cannot stop pulling at those awful Barbie doll extensions! It is driving me mad watching her!

Just a stupid observation here :rolleyes: But has anybody noticed that the first thing Chantelle does when she wakes up, before getting out of bed, is to put her make up on:rolleyes:

What must Prestons girlfriend be thinking watching him and Chantelle twittering around each other all the time. Me thinks that he will have some explaining to do when he gets out

And also when they went to the house to evict Dennis chantelle sat up and was messing with her hair! We've seen you when you first get up love - dont sweat it. I sometimes think they dont know  how often they are actually watched.

Do feel sorry for Prestons girlfriend though. If that was my man Id be having stern words!!!

With Chantelle or Preston? ;)

Men are weak - sorry men but you are :) and don't think you can use that as an excuse!

No not all men are weak as my OH occasionally says no to me :D :D

I think I now want Faggot oh sorry I mean Maggot to win :D :D

As I'm banging away at the keyboard, I cannot believe that MB is either going to be 1st or 2nd :(

*says she, who has just lost all faith in the British Public*:rolleyes:

Well ..poetic justice or what? *Celebrity* Big Brother ...won by an unknown, ROFL

I could have strangled her with her hair extensions everytime she said "Oh my God". :rolleyes:

>I could have strangled her with her hair extensions everytime she said "Oh my God".  

Nevertheless she does come over as natural and down to earth like she said.  I didn't see much of BB but what I did see I think showed that she handled herself very well and in dignified manner compared to the "grownup professionals"  Doesn't seem to be anything false about her - well, except the hair extensions :D  I saw her internview and thought she was extremely diplomatic and sensible when answering questions about Preston.  She could so easily have put her foot in it and made things worse as far as their interactions were concerned.

At the end of the day I know that the "Oh my God" offends people but when you put it in perspective and think about the nasty, vile, vindictive and spiteful things that were said by the others to manipulate and bully I think Chantelle could be excused.
