Hello all,

Do any of the British members have any comments with regard to the inclusion of Sam, a pre-op TS, as housemate in the currently running Big Brother??

Joanna I have to admit I watch very little TV and have never watched Big Brother, but that sounds interesting....I might even tune in, thanks!

Angela asked me to post this for her:

I haven't seen it but did some quick research and found this (dunno how accurate it is)...

If anyone wants to download the Big Brother UK episodes, they can be found here (need to know how to use BitTorrents)...

Apparently, she doesn't show up til the 12th episode, so if you only want to watch the ones with her in it, start there.

Hope this helps someone, lol.

oops, this went through twice while on my end the page just sat and spun and I then got a 404 error. Sorry.

Joanna, I wonder if Sam's inclusion is purely to stir up people's reactions, a method to get people talking (in a Maury, Jerry Springer way).

Or whether Sam is there like everyone else and the TS factor is by the way.

unfortunately it's the former rather than the latter, rarely are TS on television portrayed as normal people, especially not on big brother.

Well a transsexual already won Big Brother before in the UK- I think from personally appearing on UK TV myself- Telivison there is much more open to transsexuals- i.e, Big Brother, There is Somethign About Miriam, plastic surgery shows- and of course Pet Burns on celibrity Big Brother.

I almost got casted to be on The Farm in the UK, but was dropped as they already had two adult performers on the show and I was opted for very last minute.

The US def. needs to catch up in this arena.

well sure, they SHOW transexuals, but they show them for the shock factor much like the US does. I have yet to see a show where they take TS seriously.

The Eurovision song contest?

Phat- does reality TV show anyone in a serious light? My appearance on Cosmetic Surgery Live was very positive and respectiful in my opinion.
If a transsexual can win Big Brother- which is won by PUBLIC VOTE.
And everyone knew Nadia was a TS- that to me is clear sign that somethings are changing.
