Big Brother . The Global Edition

No, there's not a global edition of the format in production.... although that does sound like a damn good idea. This is just a post devoted to the global world that is Big Brother.

Big Brother: Australia . Today begins a whole new season for the blokes in Australia. The cast has been announced through the show's official website and the cast resembles that of MTV's The Real World. We have four 19 year olds, two 20 year olds, two 21 year olds, three 22 year olds, two 25 year olds, one 26 year old and an aged female outcast at the ripe ol' age of 36 years old.

Update: So that's why there's a 36 year old! There's a "World's First", a mother/daughter team has entered the big brother house and no one but us knows about them! Kinda like a steal from our U.S. version this past year where the house was made up of 7 different partners. Australia's show only used one.

I'm still unsure if anyone is gay and/or lesbian. But according to BehindBigBrother.com one housemate will come out of the closet in the first week to HIS friends and family. I highly doubt it will be the cutest housemate, Michael. I can't wait to find out who it is.

I'm assuming the producers are hoping for countless hook ups, endless idiotic fights and hundreds of thousands twenty something youths in Australia to be addicted enough to pay for the Big Brother Premium feature where we are promised to see the "adult" side of things.

Fear not American viewers and those who love to live cheap, BBA does state on their website "For those not wanting to pay the extra cash for Premium (or not able to due to the age restrictions) you will still be able to access limited free streaming from the House as well as regular video highlights. You'll also be able to access all your old favourites such as the forums, trivia and housemate profiles."

This year 2 new twists will be introduced. As normal, the houseguests will vote on who will be nominated for eviction by us, the viewers. What the housemates don't know yet is that yes, the public, can evict someone from the house but they can also vote to keep someone in the house, safe from eviction. More votes and more money through text messages means BBA makes tons of money and you get to feel like your vote counts.

The 2nd twist features what BBA likes to call "The Punishment Room". BBA writes "The room is no doubt designed for reprimanding the misbehaving [HMs], but it's hard to say what cruel and unusual punishments BB has in store. The small, soundproof room, located behind the living area, has glass walls which allow HMs and viewers to see in, but leave the unfortunate inmate unable to see out."

And what's the best thing about every year of Big Brother: Australia? It's built inside a FUCKING THEME PARK! How freakin kick ass is that!?! I'm obsessed with theme parks and if I lived near DreamWorld, I'd be a season pass holder.

Now since I live in Texas, U.S.A., and the show is filmed and broadcast out of Brisbane, Queensland, the time difference is about a 15 hour difference. So if the show premieres at 7:30 p.m., that means I have to be fucking awake at 4:30 a.m. to watch it live. Mutha fucker.

No worries, Big Brother 7 is about to start here in the states and it's going to be an All Star edition. Yeah for me.

Update: According to the official bio of housemate David, he lists "Deepest, darkest secret: I’m an open book, it will all come out on the show!". A play on words or the gay cast member this year!?!

Diary . Day 1 . In the bedroom David, Camilla, Elise and Karen talk about past sexual relationships. Camilla says she has had 22 sexual partners, and Elise says she's had 7. Karen says it's about 10 or 12 but she can't remember. Jamie says his figure in the 30s.

David tells everyone they are hussies and he didn't sleep with anyone till he was 19.

The conversation turns to David's modelling career. On David's first modelling job they flew him to Rome. It was all a bit too much he said, as he was surrounded by supermodels, and he cried to his chaperone.

Karen asked if he slept with any supermodels. He admits that yes, he was intimate with a supermodel but he doesn't want to talk about it. End Diary Day 1 Interesting...

Update: David finally came out to the house and supposely everyone is supportive. [That is until Dino & Michael find out David's interested in them... in that naughty sort of way] David even made a female housemate cry because she felt like she was betrayed and lied too. You can read all about it in this Big Brother article.

Update: Free Cams are up... and here's my first time experience with them. It's about 10 p.m. here in Texas and I clicked Free Cam link only to find no ads and quick WIDE screen high quality streaming. The blokes were all shirtless in the pool areas and one lady was talking about her boobs possibly sagging after breast feeding. I'm told through the website that I can only access the cam 3 times a day and only on a limited time period.

Also, when I was watching the damn video froze up, I was then reconnected but then kicked off with a message stating that the feeds had reached their full capacity. Fuck! Anyways, it was minutes of PC fun. Also the Free Cam page updates the little image with whatever is being shown. I find the simple things quite fascinating.

Big Brother: Brasil . The Brasil editions are quite easily the most popular shows among the global audience. Mostly because the reality stars are quickly turned into desired sex symbols the entire world lusts for. Below is an image of Thiago Lira, a participant from the fourth season. He did a full nude photo layout with G magazine as well as other houseguests from previous seasons.

From the sixth season we have Daniel Saullo who is now turning model in his own country as well as Rafael Valente, the contestant who placed third. He's quite the beefy and very hairy houseguest featured in the shower video below.
