Talking Newbie here
Hi guys. I've been a fan of BB since BB5 (Nadia won 20 years ago this year!) and have just stumbled upon this forum. I got ahead of myself and already browsed a couple of topics before I knew this one existed.

Right now I'm watching:

BB (of course)
Drag Race UK (haven't seen it in years but used to watch the US version back in 2014/15? so this is my first UK season)
Only Connect (quiz nerd)
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? (see above )
Judy Justice (on Amazon's free TV network Freevee - have been watching for so long)

29 and a huge nerd/telly lover from the southwest

I've been watching every day like I do every year! Love it! I'm still not sure about any of them but I think Sarah and BP are growing on me. Really think Segun should get outta there and I think that Izaaz has checked out and he wouldn't be sad if he left he keeps saying he misses his baby. I do think that since Dean said in the diary room "I hate bitchiness, I hate drama, drama always follows me... etc." that I knew he was going to be drama.

Welcome to the Forum Viz.

What's Only Connect? You've intrigued me with that one, as I honestly don't know anything about it.

Is it based on Connect 4?

…I’m not familiar with La Voix but she does look pretty fabulous/…I hope that she wins for you…the last UK edition I watched I think was Danny Beard so that was quite a while ago…I will try to catch up a bit when I get time…

I love Only Connect too. It's hosted by Victoria Corin Mitchell and is pretty hard. I'm only good at the missing vowels game.

It's on BB2 on Mondays Mock. Just before University Challenge

…it is pretty difficult now/Only Connect but I do love the game…back in the day we had a forum member who did a forum edition for us and I loved it…I would imagine that it was difficult for them to format and adapt it for the forum as well…

Like Annie said, it's a pretty hard quiz show but you have to apply "lateral thinking" (thinking outside the box). Seems really difficult at first but you soon get used to it! And you'd be surprised at some of the things they wouldn't get but you would.

It's full of snobby contestants so one team found a connection about the names of different church steeples and then the other clue was like "Firework, Hot N Cold, Roar, Teenage Dream" (can you guess what those are?) and they were like.... "Is it Barbra Streisand musicals?"
