In the twist department, I have to pose a thoughtful question. CBS posts pictures of the houseguests today, right. So I count them up like a good BB fan and my count matches what CBS and all of the news leaks say... 14, right. So why are there only 13 place settings in the over head photo of the dining room table?? Makes you think, yes!! Take a look and count the plates for yourself!

Well, it seems that my email to the CBS webmaster last week finally caught someones attention. The bottom link on the CBS page now finally works. The file address was actually 10124, a file that is older than the top two.

I just checked the On-Line TV-Guide page and it shows the show on Thursday 7th but does not show one on Friday the 8th or on Saturday the 9th.

That particular segment of the show was an attempt by the guys to find out whether the girls in the house were actually paying attention! The answer was NO, they didn't notice until he finished massageing her shoulders and walked around the chair and she saw him from the front!!

More on the UNCUT or "Too Much Nudity" controversey on the Australian version of the Big Brother Show... Last night's Late Night Show, also called Uncut was significantly "cleaner" than previous shows.

More news on the 3 Intruders which are entering the house on the Live Wednesday Night Show. There names are Rita, Heath and Melanie. Here is a picture of the 3 new HM: Here is a link to their introduction page: http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/news/...article_245.asp And here is a direct link to their introduction video: http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/video...3ccfc7cfa786633

The tote board now stands at $705,000 as the final prize! Down a whopping total of $295,000 in fines!! If you want to see who did what see http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/news/.../article_61.asp

Turn Back the Clock They all thought that they were finished with uniforms and going to class!! This weeks task has the BB-Aussie HouseMates going Back-To-School!! The house has wagered 100% of next weeks grocery money on their ability to pass this weeks task without getting a failing mark from BB who has been noticably non-lenient this season. And to help out - this week 3 Intruders will be entering the house on Wednesday. A fact which the HG don't know (but we do)! The HG have been wondering when they would be getting intruders - a staple in the past in the Aussie house. For a look at the intruders see: http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/news/...article_236.asp The girls have been very adament about the lack of male excitement in the house and complain repeatedly that the guys have been working/wearing themselves out in the gym and ignoring them. They have been calling for some hot guys to come in and give the negligent men some competition and them some love and affection! What will happen? Stay tuned - same channel!!

In a strange twist for the Land Downunder, the producers of the Australian Big Brother Website have pulled all of the photos which depicted nude housemates. They have also deleted the UNCUT section of the website which held videos and nude/semi-nude photos of the housemates. There was a intermediate screen which warned you that the following content contained material which might be unsuitable etc. and you had to click yes or no to proceed. This happened right after several of the members of parlament complained to Communications Minister Helen Coonan that things might be getting out of hand!! This happened right after several conservative groups in Australia started protesting that the Late Night version of the live broadcast called UNCUT. For further information you might read the following article. http://dailytelegraph.news.com.au/story.js...storyid=3355835

One question comes to mind first of all... He makes reference to a "COMPOUND" being constructed. Is he saying that contrary to what we have heard about Stage 18, that there has been an entire new compound constructed with a fence? If so where? Was Stage 18 a red herring to throw us off? We will have to wait till the Early Show tomorrow!!!!!

On the ALDV site http://www.aldav.com/bb3.html Aldav says:

In an unusual eviction, the 4 people up for nomination were sent into the rewards room

The fish are back but the lights in the house are all off so all you see is the inside of the fish tank. And ranster, to answer your question, there appear to be between 20 and 25 fish in the tank...

Remember in seasons 1 - 4 when they only showed FOTH meaning "Front of the House" then we finally got a peak when they added the fish tank with the camera inside.

Yep, they are madly working even on a Saturday morning. Saw a couple carrying coffee just a minute ago!!

Well the feeds are still up!! I don't know about that strange silver wall that you can see beyond the table and sky blue chair at the end of the fish tank though. That is a bit funky!!!!!! I like the yellow fish though. I just saw 4 crewpeople on Saturday morning!!!!!!! At 07:57AM!!!!

Just saw that Will Kirby and Mike "Boogie" Malin from BB2 will be on the newly announced "Battle of the Network Reality Stars" show that will premier on August 17 on teh Bravo Network. Also in the contestant list will be Richard Hatch and Susan Hawk from Survivor 1. This is a new show which is modeled on the 70's game show "Battle of the Network Stars".

For your info, I just sent a comment to the CBS webmaster and asked him to look into the problem with the bottom link on the CBS site.

OK, here is a rap-up of how the HG are taking their new roles in the house. The rules are very one-sided. Geneva has been trying to 'go easy' on her slave christie and earned several punishments! The servants have lost several minutes of Hot Water tomorrow. When Tim said please, Greg had to give Tim a foot massage for 10 minutes - twice. Geneva has tried to have other masters ask their servants to do things for her, instead of Christie, and the servants now have the lights stay on an hour longer tonight in their bedroom and will come on early tomorrow! Kate (a servant) tells Geneva, "Be a Bitch, That's it!" This is only a short rendition of how things have gone. it is much worse. For instance, the masters get served whatever they want for each meal. The servants only get "staples" to eat. The masters get to shop in the store with a $50 personal budget. I wonder how long it will take for the masters to realize that this is for "this week" and things will probably change "next week" after the next competition. Since we now have 2 bedrooms this will probably continue for some time! Here is a link to the master - servants rules. http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/news/...article_212.asp As I close, the masters have called their servants into their bedroom to sing them to sleep. Geneva tells Christie Thank You and the servants quarters lights will now come on 1 hour early tomorrow morning!! For a more entertaining read here is the link to day 44's diary on the BB aussie site. http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/diary/day_44.asp Wish I could continue this guys but I now have to leave on a pre-planned trip to Biloxi, MS for some fun and gambling. I will be back later this week! Have fun - only 17 more days till "Our House" starts.

I also have the problem with the green screen. I finally realized that this happend when my feed baud rate goes down and the Media Player tries to compensate. If you wait, the feed will speed back up and the picture will correct itself. You have remember that the feed is comming from the other side of the planet with who knows how many relays up and down from satelites. Just be glad that we get it at all. It is now midnight in the aussie house, i just got up here. I will go read the diary and try to catch you guys up.

4:38 Other HG (Servants) are instructed to re-enter the house and go into the bedroom by the right door. They find the cots! Vesna is instructed to open the first envelope and read it out loud. They find out that they are now servants and the others are now masters. Vesna is then told to read the rules out loud. Needless to say they are not happy. Some more choice bits from the rules: Servants must perform manicure, pedicure and massage on their masters and fan them by the pool for 1 hour each day. Masters get luxury foods. Masters get hot water all day. Servants must shower outdoors each day with cold water only. Masters place their breakfast orders for the next day each night. The servants must arrise and cook their masters breakfast in the morning and serve them in bed. Only masters can shop for foodstuff in the store and they do it together. Previously, the chef did all of the chopping on mondays. Masters must be served all beverages in glasses, they are prohibited from drinking from the tap or from bottles. I would love to keep watching, but it is now 2:00 AM here in Alabama and I have to get to bed!! Have fun guys. I will try to update you tomorrow.

4:30 BB just announced that Geneva, Hotdogs, David, Glenn, and Tim can re-enter the house and go into the bedroom thru the 2nd door! They see the new bedroom and they have the beds. There is a letter in an envelope. BB tells Tim to read it outloud. The golf game divided the house into Masters and Servants!! The Masters sleep in the Masters room and the person who lost to each of the Masters in teh golf game is their personal servant for the week!! The servant is also their caddy in the golf tournament. The masters cannot enter the servants bedroom. The servants must serve the masters food and all requests for the week. There are rules and those who break them will be punished. All prevoius chores assigned to a Master now belong to their servant in addition to those tasks previously assigned to them. Masters are given a beeper for their servant and the servant must immediately respond upon when beeped 27/7!! (These are only some of the rules the list is long)

4:24 PM (their time) Looks like the crew is finished!! The HG's bags are placed at the foot of the beds and the cots. Looks like 4 guys and one girl have the beds. Geneva, Hotdogs, Glenn, David and Tim won the golf competition. Humm? The HG have now been in the animal enclosure for 2 hours in teh cold and sprincling rain.
