Sunday Eviction #2 Rebecca!

The eviction show tried a return to the "It's time to go" format of past seasons, but yet again, failed to pull it off. The eviction show was a little disjointed, didn't seem to flow too well and the anticipation and hype was still lacking. It was however, better than last week seeing as how the retarded revolving door was gone, and we got to see the housemates reaction to the eviction (they basically didn't really give a shit, hahahaha), back to that in a moment.

On a positive note, the daily shows are getting better and better. THIS is what we want to see. We want to see the HM's without gimmicks, without "guests", just interacting with each other and creating their own drama as they did over the weekend.

It was Rebecca's birthday party and the alcohol flowed, loosening tongues and enabling them to let their guards down. What we saw was a total bitchathon as the girls turned on each other and the claws came out.
It was Dixie vs Brig and Bec (the boobsie twins) then Dixie vs the boobsie twins and the other well endowed sour puss, Bianca. Then it was Dixie and Bianca vs the boobsie twins, and then Bec tried to recruit Alice even though she was fairly aligned with Dixie...........Are you keeping up? It's rather convuluted but that's what happens when people start to backstab one another in a confined space.

Hilarious!!

Dot points from tonights daily show that entertained me greatly;

*Nanna Terri's break down. Do you think the HM's are taking out their parental angst on her?
*How quickly did Alice leave the kitchen when David confronted Nanna about talking behind his back? The girl should be a sprinter.
*Rebecca bitching about Bianca one minute, then letting her join in the Boobsie twins bitching about Dixie.
* Bianca exists merely to bitch and moan. I've never seen anyone so young, yet so bitter. Grumpy beeyotch!
*Did anyone else vomit a little in their mouth when Ben pashed Alice? Ewwwwww.
*Not even commenting on Travis kiss with Dixie.
*Bianca and Dixie pairing up to the be joint Queen bitches in the house. My God do they enjoy a good bitch session. Comment of the week came from Dixie who admitted she was the "bitter, ugly, fat, chick" and a close second was Bianca saying Bec wasn't "That good looking". Jealous much you sideways headed, sour puss??

Eviction show!!!
What was the deal with bringing Travis mum out to scream about his latent heterosexual tendencies??? I've posted before about my feelings on Travis sexuality, so I'm not going into it again, I just thought the whole mum denial situation was cringeworthy!

On to the nominations-
Bottom three were revealed as Ben, Rory and Travis. Did you see Rory's face? Bahahahaha!

David- Two points to Ben because he wasn't close to him and one to Rebecca for spending too much time in bed.
Brigitte- Two points to Ben for not being nice to her, one to Rory for showing disrespect to the females.
Terri- Two points to Ben for 'getting hurt too easily'. WTF? and not mixing with the other boys. One point Rebecca for "unrealistic sweetness".
Nobbi- Two points to Rebecca for stealing beer and one point to Ben because he's closer to Rory.
Bianca- Two to Rebecca because she wants to leave and one to Ben because she's closer to Rory.
Alice- Two to Rebecca because she thinks it's a "safe" vote, and one to Rory for the same reason. What a cop out!
Dixie- Two to Rebecca because they hadn't been getting along and one to Ben because he snores.
Nathan- Two to Rebecca cos she has "one foot on the outside" and one to Ben because he likes Rory.
Renee- Two to Rebecca because she sleeps in half the day, and one to Ben for the same reason as all the rest. IE they like RORY better. Boo to that.
Travis- Two points to Rory for comments that offend him and one point to Ben for ignoring his statements.

When the nominated HM's allocated their points, Rebecca gave her double points to HERSELF, effectively evicting herself from the house, but Ben also threw two points her way as did Rory.

It was interesting how quickly Rebecca made it from the house to the eviction stage , causing some to wonder if the show, or parts of it, had been pre-recorded. I'm not against that at all because the format did need some tightening up, but it was just weird how she appeared out of nowhere.
I also didn't like her interview with Kyle and Jackie, it was too rushed, obviously due to time restraints, but it just didn't have that special "feel" that eviction shows have had in the past.

Aside from that I'm looking forward to the streams and the daily show to see how Brigitte reacts to losing her new bestie, and whether the bitching of Dixie and Bianca continues now they have one less girl to backstab.

Why You Should Watch The Live Streams

Last nights party was a cracker. Will we see all of it on the daily show or Big Mouth? Probably not, but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

In other news, Rebecca's bitchy side emerged as she aligned herself firmly with Brigitte (remember her saying she couldn't stand her the first week and was hanging out with Dixie?) against Alice, Nobbi, Dixie and Bianca. Had an argument with Nobbi over drinks, and whispered and gossiped all night long with Brigitte.


Another highlight was this comment from Brigitte to Rebecca in the Strategy room "It doesn't matter if you're up next week, you won't get voted out, the people might not vote for you because you're not as interesting, but everybody here likes you and won't vote for you. I'm the opposite the public thinks I'm fun to watch but if I'm up I'll definitely be voted out"

So, do you still think she's as dumb as she looks?

The Trouble With Travis

I have a problem with Travis. I can't figure him out and it's driving me insane! The reason it's driving me insane is because I am fighting this compulsion to pigeon hole and label him. I'm trying to make him fit some stupid stereotype and I don't like it. I don't want to do that, but dayum if it isn't hard!

Am I making sense? Probably not. Let me explain, as soon as I clapped eyes on Travis, I called GAY. As soon as he opened his mouth, I called FLAMING, as soon as he minced around and shrieked hysterically on that first night, I called QUEEN.

And then...............he was/is quite adamant that he is straight. He doesn't just deny being gay, he says outright that he is 100% into girls! Yet my gaydar and hundreds of others on the various forums, are going off the Richter every time he comes on screen.

BUT WHY DOES IT MATTER???

What is this need for me to have Travis' sexuality confirmed one way or another? If he is gay, but doesn't want to out himself on national TV, what the fuck business is it of mine? If he is straight, why should he have to defend his claim? Why should we mention his sexuality at all???

The other HM's have said repeatedly that he is "unique", and he is. He is unlike any HM we've seen in the BB house. Big call, but I'm making it. On the one hand he is religious and will not have sex before marriage, but I've seen him listen enthralled (and sometimes disgusted) when the others are having sexual conversations. Is he just completely innocent and curious?
And what of his comments about homosexuality? He said, and I quote, " At the end of the day you can decide to be gay, it's a lifestyle choice". So is he fighting some urges of his own? Not willing to CHOOSE to be gay???

His friendship with Nobbi is interesting as well. They are very touchy/feely with each other and if Travis were a girl (OR an out gay man) I'd say he has a crush! He asked Nobbi on Tuesday night if there were anyone in the house he'd like to "know a little better" he then said in a sing song, almost flirtatious voice, "Do you want to know more about Trav?"
I swear he batted his eyelashes!!!
What about when he washed Nobbi in the outdoor shower?? Even washed his arse crack!!

It's not just the voice either, although it probably doesn't help matters, but if he had some deep, manly voice yet still behaved the way he does, I'd still think he was gay.

My point is though, who are we to judge? He's a lovely, sensitive, thoughtful, young man who is constantly upbeat and positive. He's articulate and intelligent and warm hearted, so what does it matter whether he is gay, straight or undecided??

The Big Brother house is all about putting people under the microscope. We are voyeurs, disecting and analysying the HM's like they are exhibits in a zoo, and at the end of the day seeing as how we choose the "winner" in this game, making judgments and forming opinions on the HM's is what we do.

Maybe I and everyone else can just accept Travis for the "unique" character he is, and enjoy him for what he brings to the show.................

All the while hoping he goes the pash with Nobbi in the Kombi! Huzzah!! ;)

And With A Handgrenade, We're Back On Track

How much are we loving the evicted housemate's revenge bomb? First there was Terri, sending Nobbi to the Kombi, and now poor wittle Bwigette loses all her possessions.

Have you ever seen someone lose their shit so hard over something so trivial??
I was gobsmacked last night watching Brigitte's reaction to Saxon's hand grenade. My two year old niece doesn't even act like that! It was appalling! I was embarrassed for her.
How can someone her age carry on like that????

Brigitte is obviously very spoilt and is not used to being told "NO". Obviously, tears work well for her on the outside, but holy fuck it was cringeworthy to watch.
At first I thought she was playing up to the cameras, but seeing her laying prone, sobbing, on the diary room chair, I realised she was SERIOUS!

Now, people who know me understand I am a fashion whore, I have a shoe fetish, and if someone took a blowtorch to my favourite things I'd need to be locked away for my own safety, BUT, Brigitte is only losing her things for a few weeks, maybe a few months, tops! It's not the end of the fucking world and certainly not something to go on a hunger strike for!!
Her immaturity is mind blowing, I just can't comprehend it!!


I'm so loving her breakdown. I've always been a fan of trainwreck TV and I seriously hope BB messes with her head (as empty as it is) some more before she's released back to the mental asylum from whence she came.

Last night's daily show was very entertaining. Not only the Bwigitte breakdown, but seeing Dixie take on Ben for being the two faced little bitch he is. Dixie has his number, and the pussyboy is not going to get away with anything around her.

The other focus of the daily show was the "cloud door" reveal. Alice, Dave, Rory and Renee, "flew" to sunny Bali, where they are currently living in the lap of luxury. I don't really see the point of this yet, and for once I actually HOPE there is a twist to it. I know, I know, I change like the weather. Shut up!!

The task although not very entertaining, will be good for annoying the HM's. I thought it hilarious last night how every time Terri started in on a rant, a ball would come flying out. Novel way of shutting someone up.

Big Mouth was also better than the week before. The hosts seemed more comfortable, Chrissie and Tim were in fine form taking on Saxon about his reformed racist stance, and we once again got another perspective on some of the HM's via the uncut footage.

Overall, last night showed a glimmer of hope. Let's not give up on this caper just yet.

Sunday Eviction # 1. SAXON!!

Tonight was the unveiling of the new eviction system, and personally, I'm still in two minds about it.
For those that have been living under a rock for a few weeks, it goes down like this; The public vote to SAVE the HM's they like. At the end of the week, the bottom three HM's with the least save votes, are put up for eviction. The HM's then vote (two points and one point) who they would like evicted, except for the winner of FNL who gets four points and two points to use on evicting a HM, AND also gets to SAVE one HM from eviction. The person with the next least save votes then gets put up to take their place.

In yet another twist, the bottom three HM's also get to nominate each other too and their votes are kept secret until the end.

After this somewhat exhausting process, the three HM's get into "the revolver". Two HM's are put back in the house, and the one with the most eviction points is spun out to "the bleachers" where Jackie-O is waiting to interview them.

*Takes a breath, tries to clear head*

Are you still with me?

So, the bottom three HM's were Saxon, David and Rebecca. After Travis used his save power, Rebecca was spared (how redundant, the beeyotch was whining to go home all week) and Rory was put up in her place.

This is the only part of the process I enjoyed, watching the self proclaimed "spa mafia" facing eviction. They were all shocked, in particular Rory and David, it was a joy to behold.

The HM eviction votes went down like this;

Renee- 2 points Saxon because he has "a beef" with lots of the HM's, herself included. 1 point to David, siting strategy (which is stupid, because if she really believed that she would have given him two points instead of one.

Bianca- 2 points, saxon as there was tension between them and 1 point to David for interrupting conversations. Yeah, i shit you not.

Ben, 2 points David, for saying he was "king of the kids". That whole alpha male thing going on again, Ben wants that role, has zero chance. 1 point Saxon, for being threatening and "making the girls uncomfortable".

Alice- 2 points Saxon for causing rifts in the groups and 1 point to Rory for basically the same reason.

Nobbi- 2 points David for being fake, and 1 point to Rory because he's closer to Saxon.

Brigitte- 2 points to Saxon for complaining about food and 1 point to Rory because he's messy.

Dixie- 2 points to Saxon for being 'stubborn, opinionated and disrespectful', 1 point to David, again saying it's strategic, but that's bollocks in my opinion.

Rebecca, 2 to Saxon for being aggressive, 1 point to Rory because he's younger than Dave and therefore will have more opportunities in life. whaaaaaaaat?

Travis- 4 points to David because in group convos he doesn't listen to him. And 2 points to Rory for talking "graphically"

On the one hand I'm loving BB not grilling the HM's on their choices, that got so old last year, but on the other hand, some of the reasons were beyond lame and they maybe SHOULD have been called on them.

Anyhoo, after the nominated HM's voted ; Saxon- 2 David, 1 Rory. David- 2 Saxon, 1 Rory, and Rory went 2 David and 1 Saxon. Saxon was evicted..........or revolved out of the house.

Are you still reading? Have I bored you into a coma yet or did that happen when I first hit "publish" on this blog?

The eviction show I thought was very anti-climactic. I really missed the tension and anticipation of the "It's time to go (one minute pause) SAXON". I missed the instant reaction of the evicted HM, I missed the reactions of the other HM's, I missed the whole walk on stage excitement, I missed the whole eviction vibe. It just wasn't there, and there seemed to be way too much going on.
The revolving door and "bleachers" eviction was just naff! I didn't see the point of that at all except of course that it was again "different" from last year. Different isn't always better, as was clearly demonstrated tonight.

On the plus side I LOVE the new nominations process. I love the voting to save business and the uncertainty of it all, I just wish it was more cohesive and flowed better.
It will be interesting to see how the behaviour of the HM's changes this week, knowing that the public are voting to nominate, and it really is game on. Watch for David and Rory, in particular to try for more air-time this week.

The other big "reveal" tonight, that I broke on BBBA this afternoon, was about the Cloud door. It seems a few HM's will be going on a "flight" to a secret holiday resort....all within the confines of the BB compound of course. I have no idea why this room exists or what it will be about, but all will be revealed in the next few days. I hope it lives up to the hype.

Your thoughts on the new eviction system?

Put Your Stack Hat On, A Rant Is A-Brewin'!

I am not one of these nuffy's who after watching the first episode of BB cried, "It's shit, I'm not gonna watch". I'm not a producer basher, I like them. I adore the crew, they do a great job, but by fuck I'm pissed off today.

The whole Gatecrasher eviction was just bullshit. What in the hell was THAT about? why??
We haven't even been able to form an opinion on these guys and already, in yet another "snap eviction", two have been turfed. Terri had the thankless task of choosing two to leave so she could be considered a genuine housemate (after Corey refused to do it, and I'm sorry, hang me if you will, but I'm liking this kid more and more!)
What was the friggin point of putting them in there in the first place? Oh that's right, so us gormless fans could think we're actually a part of the show and CHOOSE who we want to see on BB.
Ha!
There is plenty being said about the shenanigans in that whole process, but for the thousands of people who auditioned online, the thousands who voted, what a huge slap in the face! Last night's eviction made a mockery of the whole process (again).

Not only that, but BB has left himself with nowhere to go. If the eviction was another "fake" one and the two boys are now hidden away in the secret part of the house, it's going to become an even bigger joke. We've seen that before. We saw it last week with Terri! If the Terri debacle hadn't of happened, I'd be liking the idea of not actually losing the boys, but now it's a case of, again? You pretended to yoink someone again? Why?

Most people, including myself, like the idea of twists and unexpected turns on this show. But it's too soon and there are too many, and it smacks of a kind of desperation that I wouldn't expect to see this early on, if at all!
Why the need for so much interference? What happened to letting the show be about the "personalities"? Why not let the characters evolve for a week or so, get comfortable and THEN start to throw them a few curve balls?
It feels very much like shark jumping to me, like plot twists just for the sake of it, and all it has achieved is unsettling the fans, making us feel disconnected from the HM's AND, with all these BB induced "evictions" like we are no longer an active participant in this show, which is an integral part of the process. We do, supposedly, choose an eventual winner. No really, we do.

Enough with the snap/fake/unexpected evictions! WE want to choose who stays and who goes, hence the whole webmate bollocks that died in the arse! Let us get to know these HM's before they are chucked out.

The food thing- Sweet Jebus if I wanted to watch a house full of people obsessing about food I'd watch fucking re-runs of The Biggest Loser! They have to find a balance with that!

The clean up task- I am loathe to bag on tasks, I really am, but watching these people clean every day is akin to giving them a task whereby they count the blades of grass!! Not entertaining!!

ARgghhhhh!!! Please Big Brother, pull back a little, let the HM's do their thing with less involvement from you, at least for a week!
Give the show back to the fans.

***UPDATE***
What kind of fucking shambles was FNL tonight??? The games were actually good for a change and then BB fucks it all up by not knowing what the hell is going on with the Head of House twist!

FFS, get your shit together!!

All caught up!

The things I do! I just spent nearly three hours watching daily shows and Big Mouth, and I think I've almost figured out what the hell is going on.....Never mind the fact I was supposed to be working but when the boss is away.....Steph-A-Knee will play.

In regards to both daily shows, Mon/Tues, really don't have that much to say. If those are the only highlights, we could be in trouble! The only event that made me sit up and take notice, was Bianca's hissy fit over Corey. What was that TRULY about? I don't buy her "I want to be a role model for the youth of today" BS. Methinks she wants a job as an advice columnist with Dolly or some other teeny magazine. Taking the moral high ground against the likes of Corey Worthington, is no mean feat! She keeps pushing this image of being uber smart and moralistic, whilst all the while looking down her nose at everyone else. Lets face it, it wouldn't be too hard to feel superior amongst the other HM's. Corey is easy pickings.
Nanna, is getting on my last nerve. Yeah she's good for the house, blah,blah, but dayum she is hard to watch. The other HM's must have a secret stash of valium in there to be able to put up with her.

On to Big Mouth.
I LOVE this show, in particular, I adore Tim and Chrissie! Why have they never graced our telly's on a BB related show before???
The set was groovy, the banter entertaining, and the uncut pieces, illuminating.

The two main hosts looked a little uncomfortable at times, especially during the sex talk, but overall Tony Squires directed the conversations well and kept the whole thing flowing. Rebecca Wilson I was less impressed with, only because I KNOW she can go for the jugular and be the most opinionated and irritating person at times, and I'd like to see more of that come out on this show. She seemed to be holding back to me, and I want to see her let rip. Still, it was the first episode, no doubt someone will say or do something to push her buttons soon....fingers crossed.

The ex-hm panelists were just delicious! I have the biggest crush on both Tim and Chrissie....have I mentioned that already? Shaddap! But they were just so professional, polished, at ease and damn entertaining to listen to. Paul Dyer..........not so much, but it was his first crack at it and I think he'll get better.

I also loved the insight we got to a few of the HM's, in particular, RORY, what a prick! Travis, he's growing on me, I loved how he handled the situation with Rory, and also interestingly enough, BEN! Was it just me reading too much into it, or did he sort of hint at being gay?

Things I didn't like so much included; The rehashing of old footage. BB, you have HOURS of footage to show, please give us something new, and the amount of ad breaks was just ridiculous! I was lucky enough to fast forward through them all, but c'mon!!! Boooo!

I am so loving this new addition to my BB viewing schedule. It's long overdue.
