Dogface and Halfwit earn places
Sophie and Freddie change their names
dogface-and-halfwit-earn-places

Sophie and Freddie earned their places in the Big Brother house today - by changing their names to Dogface and Halfwit.

The duo went to the Diary Room earlier today, where Big Brother gave them the opportunity to become fully fleged housemates by simply changing their names. Legally. By deed poll.

Sophie changed her name to Dogface, while Freddie opted to go for Halfwit.

They then returned to the ‘house’ to tell everyone about their new names.

“We’ve legally changed our names,” said Dogface.

“I’ve got a new name,” Halfwit added.

It’s not clear how long they will keep their new names for.

Dogface and Halfwit are the eighth and ninth contestants to gain housemate status.

steve, if you don’t like it then don’t watch it. I don’t really want to hear other people crying at the moment :S

Steve’Lee says: June 5, 2009 @ 8:59 pm

Well Lewis, I didnt say I didnt like it :S you are assuming I think that, what I am actually saying is that out of all the tasks given in the past 12 hours this one is not as good.

PLEASE HELP: im from america. fucking channel 4 is claiming copyright to big brother on youtube. is there any way at all i can view it somewhere else? i will die this summer if i do not get to see this series!!!!!

Justin says: June 5, 2009 @ 9:10 pm

@Mike: The only other option I can think of are torrents. YT is just too buggy.

Anyways, did they LEGALLY change their names or are they just being told that (a la BB9’s marriage)? Yeah this task hasn’t been THAT great, but whatev. I’m liking the series so far. :D

I think it is a task that involves mental challenges. I know i would not personally change my name.

Plus what about passports and driving licences and stuff?

THIS WAS MY COMPLAINT TO CHANNEL 4

I would like to say that this years big brother house and logo and titles
are brilliant but there are a number of problems that everyone are
commenting on. The first one is how small the crowd has become during the
launch it was so small and there was a big gap where the cars pulled in and
it just doesnt seem like a launch show or big brother anymore also THERE IS
NO LIVE FEED.C4 NEED TO GET THERE ACT TOGETHER. We are the only country in
the world not to show BB 24/7 live feed and even the poorest countries
manage to show it! Also its the 10th seriesBIG DISAPPOINTMENT BIG LET DOWN
ITS BORING NO LIVE STREAM WAT HAS HAPPENED 2 ENGLISH PPL and yh maybe no
live stream because of cost cutting but why show it when there sleeping! its
stupid ! cant believe it the biggest of all reality shows. I hope to hear
from you regarding the above matters

THIS IS THE REPLY I RECEIVED

Thank you for contacting Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries regarding BIG BROTHER.

The red button 24-hour streaming facility was discontinued prior to the last
series of CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER and we have no plans to reintroduce this
service for the current edition of BIG BROTHER.

The main reason behind this decision is that we?ve found the number of
viewers choosing to use the red button facility has dropped significantly
and more and more viewers chose to watch the clips provided on the official
Big Brother and other websites. So we have shifted our resources to cover
these areas and have new fanzones, on Twitter and Facebook as well as our
own site, and we?ll also be working extensively with partners such as bebo,
youtube and MSN to deliver footage to Big Brother fans to keep them fully up
to date with what?s happening in the house.

However, live streaming will be available on both E4 and Channel 4 late
night/early morning and we will be showing all the other great shows that
make up the BIG BROTHER experience, like BIG BROTHER’S LITTLE BROTHER AND
BIG BROTHER’S BIG MOUTH.

Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate all
feedback from our viewers; complimentary or otherwise.

Regards,

Cassie Singer

@Ryan,

I watch big brother but i cannot understand why you would want to watch it at night when they are sleeping or when they go to say somthing and it gets blocked out. plus, they have taken Scrubs off of E4 at night to put on BBlive, which as i have said is a waist of time

Sam says: June 6, 2009 @ 9:36 pm

Is that their REAL names or just a trick?

Ivan says: June 7, 2009 @ 7:39 pm

That has to be fake, like the motorbike thing. BB will probably just rip them up! Sure there’s no way they’d actually make them change their names!..especially to halfwit and dogface! lol
