  1. is active again now that Big Brother Australia is back for 2012!!

  2. Just saw an article on Big Brother Australia Facebook page that says that Channel 9 in Australia has picked the Big Brother Program back up and will be broadcasting a new season in 2012. The article says that there will be an entirely new house and the show will be hosted by Sonia Kruger. I don't know the location of the new house but it would make sense to put it on the existing lot at Dreamland south of Brisbane. The have all of the existing production facilities in place. I will be posting more information as it becomes available. The following is a quote from "if.com.au":
  3. Gone But Not Forgotten The other housemates have all been evicted but they have not been forgotten by the public. They have been popping up at local nightclubs and shows all over Australia. And the fans are all right there to tell them what they think - good and bad. Some of the HM are rather surprised at the notority that they have gained by their stay in the house. Michelle and Gianna even got photo shoots in Ralph magazine!! Gianna even auctioned that infamous little nurses outfit off on EBay.com. The proceeds went to a worthy cause though. All monies went to rescue the bears in asia that are in captivity for medical and commercial research. This is one cause that is very dear to her heart since she loves animals. Glenn is constantly accosted by girls whereever he goes. Some are verbally abusive for his treatment of Michelle in the house and some just want to get to know him better!! Its a tie on which side is bigger he says. But BB has not forgotten them. He has brought them all back together again for one more task!!! They are learning to tap dance for a grand entrance Monday night during the final eviction!! Here are some of the shots that the crew have snapped during rehearsals... NOTE: SINCE THE BIG BROTHER AUSTRALIA SITE HAS CLOSED DOWN FOR THE YEAR, ALL IMAGES IN THIS FORUM THAT WERE LINKS TO THE AUSSIE SITE HAVE BEEN LOCKED OUT - SORRY The aways well organised and disciplined HMs of BB05. -or- OK BB tkat was really funny, now tell us, why have you really gathered us together, why? Glenn gives us his rendition of the classic Michael Jackson video clip 'Billy Jean'. -or- I wish that girl hadn't kicked me so hard. I can hardly walk. If you hum a certain Irene Cara song then this pic is just like the series Fame. -or- Someone shut Rita up before I kill her. See my hair is turning red with all of my repressed anger!! Stop laughing, people are trying to pay attention here. -or- Angela telling Christie, "I know you are younger, but have some pitty on my old bones. My feet are killing me!!" The routine gets two thumbs up from Heath and Glenn. -or- Another pint mate, please, let us have another round!! Rachael struts her stuff. -or- If you really want to strut your stuff, you take your shirt off slowly, like this! From hurdles to hoofing it on the dance floor - The Michelle story. -or- Michelle's latest mug shot after the Ralph magazine shoot was raided. It's not a new form of folk dance, Geneva and Michelle are just catching up. -or- "See Mom, I am gay, I really am, I love this girl!!" The HMs casting off the tattered remains of their introversion. -or- Kate saying "Why is he still torturing us. We got out of the house!!" Michael and Constance: Too cool for school but not for tap classes. -or- If we get enough platinum, we can make big rings for our head instead of these little ones in my nose. Gianna and Rita take a break from the tapping. -or- Now we need to get rid of her next week! Michael takes Kate for a ride. -or- Guys, this one is mine!
  4. It's Time To Go - Vesna She didn't come in with the rest of the Housemates. She came in 5 weeks late because the was a replacement. A replacement along with Rachael for Constance and Nelson, who were evicted from the Big Brother House for failing to inform BB about a preexisting relationship outside the house. But you can't say that the was a walflower. From the very first, she brought her own flavor into the house. Quickly catching the eye of Hotdogs, she caught the ire of Geneva who had a "thing" going with him, or so she thought. As long as he remained in the house, Hotdogs was her Vesna's bedmate. It was never quite with Vesna around. No, sometimes you could say she was louder than Big Brother himself. If she felt it, you knew about it!! Greg especially, after the week in chains called "Chain Reaction!" She always thought Big Brother had a "THING" about finding the least little thing that could get under her skin and picking at it. But you can say one thing. With her in the house, it was never boring!!! During her last week in the house, she finally realized that she didn't want to leave. She had to stay in a "reality" house to realize that she didn't want to "return to reality!" Well all thing must come to an end Vesna. She wanted to leave the house quietly, and BB said she could. But BB lies! She loved the limelight, and she found it! Goodbye Marilyn, we loved ya!!!
  5. Where is the Aussie Big Brother Nadia must have done something to BB when she left the house. She did complain repeatedly that BB was depriving her since her would not let her smoke in the house. So what has she done to him. The BB that is here is definitely not the one that was here all through the season and not when Nadia was in the house. He didn
  6. BB has some FUN Now that the house is getting smaller and smaller, BB has had some time to look back on all that has happened in this year's house. And he found time to pick out some fun things that have happened. On to of the list is this collection of video snippets about Christie. She just can't seem to beat that thing called gravity, can she... Here is the link to the video... http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/video...04787502534d6fd If the link doesn't work click this link and then click on Christie Crashfest... http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/video_gallery.asp
  7. Who Will Win??? BB has gathered all the the evicted HM together and polled each on as to who they want to win this years show and who they think will actually win. Here is the results... Melanie Who do you want to win? I think I'd like Vesna to win. I think she's shown her true character and I think that's good. Who do you think will win? Either Vesna or Tim, probably Vesna. Kate Who do you want to win? I want Timmy to win and the reason I want Timmy to win is because he is just to me the one person that entertained me and, when I used to watch it, I wanted the winner to be the person that I always wanted to watch. Whenever it's on I always want to see what he's doing and because he just worked so hard for all of us in the house and he was everybody's rock. Who do you think will win? This is really hard because I think it all depends on the week. I think it's really, really close. I think Greg has a lot of teenage girls that absolutely adore him and they vote. I think that a lot of the people love Timmy because they think he's funny and love the way that he's grown , and also with Vesna, people have gone crazy over her and people that I talk to they either love her or hate her. So I think it is really tight between all three of them and it all depends on this week and how the intruder handles everything. Christie Who do you want to win? Obviously I want Greg to win. I just think he's so genuine and he and his brother did so well in the house together and I think it would be good for them. I think they really deserve it. Who do you think will win? I really truly think Vesna will win. I think people have loved and grown onto her whinging and people appreciate that because she says what she feels in such a carefree way. People like knowing that the people in there are being real and that's what matters. Rita Who do you want to win? Tim because he was easy to live with in the house. Even though he may be playing the game he brought the house together and he kept his cool no matter what. He didn't make judgements on anybody unless he knew facts. If ever he was in a crappy mood he would go outside and cool himself down before coming in and never took it out on anyone and he always had time for everyone and he survived it from day one. If you're going to paly a game it's hard to play a game for that long and he's maintained his composure the whole time. I wouldn't be happy if Greg won because he's pretty much done nothing in there. If Dave and Greg were in the house to the end I'd be grateful because they won it together, but now a lot of people say they don't want Greg to win because they know Dave's going to get the money and they don't like Dave. If they were both in the house at the same time I feel like its earned more but being in the house he's done nothing. He just sits around and does nothing. He didn't put into the house like everyone else has, he just sits back and cruises and doesn't create like other people. Who do you think will win? Vesna because with all the autographs I've signed from all my appearances each person I ask who do you think will win and 80% say Vesna, 20% say Tim and pretty much nobody has said Greg and that's where I get my info from. They're saying Vesna, but are they going to vote? David Who do you want to win? I'm going to say my brother [Greg] because I'll get half the prize money I guess. Who do you think will win? My brother [Greg] because he's a pretty easy going bloke. Dean Who do you want to win? Greg, because he's a down to earth guy and treats everyone fairly. Who do you think will win? Greg or Ves. I don't know; maybe even Tim because he's playing the game. Hotdogs Who do you want to win? Vesna because she's an emotional baggage that wears her heart on her sleeve and she's not trying to play the game. Who do you think will win? I think Vesna will win for those reasons. Glenn Who do you want to win? I want Timmy to win, because I put money on him. Who do you think will win? Probably Timmy just because I think he's been a pretty genuine bloke all the way through. Heath Who do you want to win? I don't really care really. I want it to be a draw. Who do you think will win? Probably Tim or Vesna because everyone loves Timmy and everyone loves Vesna. Geneva Who do you want to win? I don't care. I get asked this question five times a day. Maybe Greg, for Dave's sake. Who do you think will win? Maybe Tim because of the way he's been portrayed. Rachael Who do you want to win? Timmy or Vesna. They're both genuine good people and they both deserve it. Who do you think will win? I don't know, it's hard to say. Hopefully Timmy will win. Michelle Who do you want to win? I want Timmy to win just because he's an awesome guy and he's so funny and he's been there from the beginning and really deserves it. Who do you think will win? I think Timmy will. I don't know. It's so hard now with the three of them left they're all really great and Vesna's starting to get a really big fan club, but I still think that Timmy's going to come through in the end. I hope! Greg's really great as well, but I've said from the beginning it's going to be Timmy and I'll stick with it. Michael Who do you want to win? Timmy, because Tim has the most important thing which no one else in that show has, a social conscience. Who do you think will win? I have no idea. I think Timmy might. I'd say it's close. I reckon Greg's out, it's between Vesna and Timmy. Having said that, you watch Greg win now! Gianna Who do you want to win? Tim. I personally like him, I think he's great. I like all of them actually. I didn't have a problem with any of them. However I think the twins do have an unfair advantage, especially with David on the outside now. With Tim, I think he's very genuine, he's very caring and he's been there right from the beginning. I think he's fantastic. Who do you think will win? I think it will be between Tim and Vesna, but I think it will be Tim who wins. Angela Who do you want to win? Greg because I like Dave and I think that the two of them will share the money and they'll do something with it Who do you think will win? Unfortunately Tim because he's played the game from the word go and they've shown him as the guy who agrees with everyone not the person that he's played. I can't stand him. The more I watch it the worse it is. I think Vesna also has a chance to win and that concerns me because she's my age and she carries on that way. Yeah it's good viewing for entertainment sake, but it just does my head in. And it's an insult for anyone my age that we can whinge and complain and get away with it. Nelson Who do you want to win? Greg, 'cause he's a champ. Who do you think will win? Tim, 'cause he's conniving and weaselly. Constance Who do you want to win? Vesna, because the other two are idiots. Who do you think will win? Probably Tim, because he's smart. If you gather it all together, On the want to win it is Tim = 7, Greg = 6, and Vesna = 2. On the think will win is Tim = 10, Greg = 2, and Vesna = 4 If you look at the public poll, Vesna is a running away favorite to win the show but on who will be evicted this sunday, the poll is Greg is 48%, Tim is 20% and Vesna will go is 32% so who knows, maybe only BB knows for sure!!
  8. Goodbye Nadia Although she had a difficult welcome with Vesna in the house, Nadia seems to have enjoyed herself rather well. She got to used to being in the house that she even talked back to BB. When grilled by Vesna about the staff that Nadia had met prior to entering, Nadia admitted that she had met BB himself and said that he was rather handsome and had blond hair. This sent Vesna off into dreamland with visions that we won
  9. Nadia is In The House As BB told us on the web last week, Monday night, Nadia, the winner of last years BB UK house entered the Aussie BB house for a visit. When the intruder alert went off the HMs jumped up from the table and headed toward the backyard to welcome their new friend, thinking she would enter through the arena like other intruders. But Nadia came down the eviction steps behind them and was greated by squeals of delight from Vesna, who was excited to see another female. After quick introductions they popped the bottle of champagne Nadia brought with her and started firing questions at their guest. "What fragrance are you wearing? Are you from Spain?" asked Vesna. Nadia explained that she was from Portugal, but lived in the UK. "I'm not an intruder. I'm just a special guest." She revealed that she was the winner of the UK Big Brother last year and the HMs took her on a tour of the house. Nadia was very impressed with the house and when the tour moved to the backyard she told them the house was much bigger than the UK house. Although the fact that Nadia is a transsexual never came up in the BB UK house during the entire season, Vesna was Johnny On The Spot in this house. After they had escorted Nadia on a tour of the house to include the backyard, Nadia and Tim had no more reentered the house when Vesna turns to Greg and said.. "She's a man. Why won't she just tell us?" Greg says he's noticed that, too. Tim joins them and Vesna tells him: "She's a guy. Did you know that?" Tim grins and replies: "Dude, I grew up in Newtown, of course I do." Tim tells them to just relax and asks Vesna why she'd want to ask anyway, adding: "She's a person!" Well Vesna is not one to let a question go unasked. Later in the evening while they were all in the Spa Vesna broached the subject again.
  10. Final Three They always knew that it would have to happen sometime, and her it is - Final Three. A lot of us thought that surely Vesna's antics this last week would get under the voting public's skin, but is seems to have indeared her even more. After all, what would BB05 be without our outspoken diva. And Greg has become a fixture in the hearts of all of Australia's young girls hearts and they are not going to evict "the Hunk" now are they. So it is goodbye to the svelt young student and sometimes promotions model Melanie. It truely amazes the rest of the house that Melanie thought she wasn't beatiful and that she actually thought her body was full of faults. It must been a truely reserved upbringing to so inhibit someone who could have a very vivacious personality if she just let go. Maybe when she sees all of her supporters on teh eviction stage she will finally realize that she does have fans who truely like her just for herself. So now the house is getting a lot larger with just three left in it. Of course, Vesna is larger than life! She should get along just fine now that she has all of the guys to herself. That is if she doesn't drive them crazy first!! But they won't be alone for long. BB is bringing them one last houseguest for a short stay. We don't know for how long, but tomorrow night, Nadia, the winner of last seasons BB UK house will be entering the house. She will be staying for at least one overnight but BB will not let us know for how long. Nadia was a sensation in the highly controversial 5th series of Big Brother UK. For her entire stay in the House the Portuguese born bank clerk kept from her fellow HMs the fact that she was born a boy before having a sex change as a young adult. However, the audience, aware of Nadia's desire to be accepted for her personality rather than her sexuality, rallied behind her and in the end awarded her a whopping 74% of the final round of votes.
  11. FREEDOM AT LAST Saturday afternoon BB finally relented on week 13's task and Let His People Go! Jubilation was had by all as they finally got to remove their chains!! At the same time BB informed them what they already knew. That they had failed in their task which he called "Chain Reaction." But they had other names for it which we won't print here. Vesna says she felt like the chains were taking away her personality but Melanie is just relieved that she can sleep by herself tonight. Vesna had to get one last bit of bickering in this morning. She got out on the wrong side of the bed and dragged Tim out with her. She yelled at Melanie for making her vegemite too lumpy and, when Tim gave her clothes washing pointers, went beserk, throwing herself on the ground and rattle her chains, telling him to stuff his "freaking f**king" laundry. Melanie tells Tim: "You and Ves this morning were hilarious." She tells him the washing up, particularly was funny and sighs: "I could have laughed forever." Tim argues that he doesn't think he was being unreasonable: "She just kept pushing and pushing and pushing me." Well we all react to stress in different fashions. We will have to see if her actions this week have any rection on the viewers eviction voting on Sunday night. Even BB must have had enough exposure to Vesna's sharp tounge. He relented on his ruling that Vesna was prohibited from using the kitchen and has given her free run of Her Territory. Well at least the HM will eat better with her cooking. Since this is the final week, BB informed the HM that there is no formal allocation of chores. However, all of the normal duties must still be performed by the HM. How they allocate them is up to them. Well at least they can do they ALONE if they choose to!!
  12. Still a Chain Reation It is now early saturday morning and the HM are still chained together as they are asleep. BB did let them unchain during the Friday Night Games much to their pleasent suprise. And the games were quite a trip. In a suprise move, BB invited 4 previous years HM to come back and play the part of apposing team. The guest All-Stars were (from left to right) Wesley - housemate turned Totally Wild reporter who once professed his ambition to become Prime Minister. Expect him to fly under the radar with Mel. Jo - the petit blonde bombshell that stole the hearts of every man in series 3. Expect gritty determination and hope for a one-on-one jelly wrestle with Vesna. Paul - the surf-boy-rebel-come-family-man who argued his way through series 4. Expect him to set up a John Howard fan club inside the House with Tim. Jessica - the zany blonde from BB02 will be back sans husband Marty. Expect a wacky hairdo and a lot of very silly fun. The prize for the competition - If the HM win they add $20,000 back into their prize money. If the All-Stars win they split the $20,000. The first part was filling an inverted cap on their head with water and driving a mini-4-wheel ATV around an obstacle course. It was for time and how much water you had left at the end. The ALL-Stars won round 1. Round 2 added a team-member for each team. Bree and Ryan - two of the hosts for the "Friday Night Live" were kidnapped by the black suited Ninjas (the guys in the background) right off the live stage and taken to the arena. Bree joined the All-Stars and Ryan joined the HM. In this round each person had to climb the giant inflated pillar and capture valued stickers that were velcroed to it. The HM got a total of 330 points. The All-Stars got a total of 420 points. In the final round each team had to pick a single player as their representative. Greg was chosen for the HM and Wesley fro the All-Stars. In this the final round each guy dons a giant road warrior suit made of sponge rubber and has to manouver through an obstacle course barefooted. First a line of tires. Second, up some steps onto an inclined ramp that is made of slick plastic that is very wet and slippery. And last through a zig-zag course on a giant sheet of plastic that has water sprayed on it. Greg fell several times so he lost time on the first run. Wesley watched him and took his time on his run and didn't fall once. He didn't move as fast but the not falling made his time quicker. The All-Stars won the third round as well. So they won the Friday Night Competition. After the competition was over, the HM left the arena and BB told them to re-don their chains. Since they were still on an adrenaline high they didn't complain too much. And the fact that as soon as they could see thru the windows of the house they saw the big pizza and snacks feast that BB had laid out for them was a big plus also. BB did throw in another damper to their spirits though. He had them change partners yet again. So now Tim is chained to Vesna and Greg is now chained to Melanie. So now they have each been chained to every other member of the BB house. They did have some discussion over pizza as to when the task would finally end. Usually they end before the Friday Night Competition. But since there is no Rewards Room prize for this week BB has decided to make them spend another night chained together. I think he is just punishing them for the time (3:30 AM - 10:30 AM) they spent UNCHAINED the other night and will let them out tomorrow morning. Tim said that there was one task that her remembers from a previous season that lasted thru Sunday. We will have to wait and see..... Stay tuned........
  13. Housemate's Revolt - An Update BB has now posted a page on the Aussie website which contains further information about the Housemates Revolt against this weeks task. Apparently BB was all-seeing and saw Vesna unhook herself at 3:30 in the morning after waking Greg so he could accompany her to the bathroom. But BB decided to wait until 11:00 when all of the HM were up and had discussed the situation. Apparantly he was waiting to see what they would do when confronted by Vesna's rebellion against BB's rules. To jump to that page use the following link... http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/news/...article_384.asp To watch the video of the HM explaining their actions to BB use this link... http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/video...320674b1fffeb54 Even after BB had laid down the law, Vesna returned to the diary room to get some clarification about the kitchen ban and vent some during the process. More information on the progress of the task as facts become available....
  14. Chain Reaction - An Update After more than 48 hours chained to their female partners, Tim and Greg finally got some welcome relief. And so did the girls!! At 4 PM, BB finally took pity on the ears of the HM and told them that the entire purpose of this weeks task was that they got to know their HM better. So now they should switch partners to broaden the experience. Tim is now chained to Greg and Melanie is chained to Vesna. But Vesna's No Kitchen penalty is still in force. Now Melanie can't go in the kitchen along with hew new female partner. After the switch, the girls were quick to escape their male companions by running to the bathroom to do some much needed female primping, bonding and much application of make-up and other assorted female concoctions. The guys immediatly started in on the girls as soon as they were out of earshot: Once they were finished with their primping, the girls came back in to inform the guys that they were headed to the sauna for about 3 hours of rest and relaxation - and some much needed girltalk!!
  15. Aluminium - It's Not Just a Metal Just to break the monotony in the house this week Greg and his partner in crime Tim have come up with a unique idea. Aluminum Underpants! Last night, while he and Vesna lay in the bed, he took the time to slowly fashion speedo underwear for Tim and himself. It took him several tries, but finally he succeeded in his self-made task. This morning after the freedom dance when they took off their chains he and Tim donned their metal underwear. All day they wore the stylish metal garments. From time to time they had to tweak the fit so that they we not pinched in delicate places. The girls bravely refrained from commenting too often on what they thought of this idea, but you see, they were not wearing them themselves, ha ha. At 3 PM today, Tim and Greg tethered their partners to the pole outside the diary room and entered to wish BB a Happy Aluminum Undies Day and to deliver him some gifts - two pairs of custom made aluminium undies, one for Big Brother and one for "Mrs Big Brother." Holding up Mrs Big Brother's skimpy aluminium g-string, Tim generously offered: "Gretel's welcome to wear this. We can make some more." When BB asked what this was all about, Tim said: The boys went on to say, that there could be one small problem which needs, er, ironing out before aluminium undies can really hit the stores... what happens when a person wearing aluminium undies bends over? "Well it's very much like a Scotsman and his kilt," said Tim. "It's one of those eternal questions." At one point, while they were getting some sun, BB told tham that the aluminum was interfeering with the wireless microphone reception and to make sure that no part of their attaire was touching the antenas of their sending units. The guys just laughed and did a quick check.
  16. Chain Reaction - All Too True As I have said before, Vesna is a little outspoken and set in her ways. She complained and bickered almost constantly since BB chained the HM together for this weeks' task. Last night, Vesna could not get comfortable while she was lying in bed next to Greg. So at some point, she unclipped herself from Greg and went to the bathroom. This morning when Greg woke up at 9:30 he found that she was still unclipped!!! When he asked her what had happened, she said: After talking it over, Tim, Vesna and Greg are willing to continue the task. But further discussion brings them to the conclusion that since they have failed the task, why continue with the torture. They continue to ly in bed talking over the pros and cons of staying chained over taking them off. Finally, at 10:30 they decide to remove the chains as a team. They take them off and have an impromptu dance and cheer arounf the bedroom. At 11:00 BB calls them into the diary room. He makes them wait for quite a while in the air-lock entrance way. When they finally get in, there on the chair is a printout of the House Rules. So they had a little fun and freedom, but the lost $20,000 in fines. They were suprised at the severity of the punishment for breaking the rules. Vesna even went back into the diary room to ask BB for further clarification of the prohibition on her using the kitchen. As soon as they reconnected after they got out of the diary room, Tim and Melanie started cooking breakfast. As they did, Vesna sat with Greg on the Lounge and watched. It didn't take long for Vesna to start in on how Tim was cooking the porridge wrong and that he was ruining it. Tim finally got fed up and asked her to go outside. She started having Greg relay her instructions to Tim until Greg got fed up also. Tim finally said: Things are betting hot in the BB House folks. I will be back with more on this weeks task.
  17. Getting to Know You - Too Well Yep, Vesna is still complaining!! And the others are starting to NOT like this side of the raven haired shrew in the house. Vesna has never been one to bottle her feeling up. And now she is like a dam that has broken from all of the pressure. Melanie is also breaking out of her reserved shell. Today while in the bathroom, she and Tim were doing as little personal grooming. BB is not one to let things go, he has to push you to your limits. Tonight during dinner, he gave them a letter which called for each on to tell the group things they found attractive about each of the HM and what they would change. Timmy first: Melanie - he hasn't gotten to know her well enough but he likes what he sees. He would like her to open up more. "Greggles" - He likes that they have become "mates" in the house and likes that he can be serious and still funny. He dosen't want Greg to do the typical male thing where a wall grows between friends where they cannot talk about "deep" things." Vesna - Tim says she is the house comedian. She is open and has a lot of energy. She cooks for them and he feels comfortable talking with her. He would change her mood swngs though. Melanie next: Tim - Tim is so intelligent and has an ability to use "all these big flowery words" but likes that he's always willing to learn new things. She likes his passion about issues, and about his line of work but is also willing to assimilate new points of view. She also admires Tim's relationship with his parents and that he's not too proud to admit when he needs help from them, and says she also likes being able to treat Tim as "one of the girls". She moves on to what she'd change and says until two days ago she didn't think she'd want to change anything, explaining she saw him as an angel with a halo above his head. She says she did find he tended to ignore her when Kate was around, and says she doesn't agree with his strict hygiene regime. Vesna - She says they had a rocky start together and she was offended that Vesna took so long to get to like her. She says with Vesna what you see isn't always what you get and explains that she has a lot of levels. Melanie says friendship with Vesna means taking on the whole package - both the bitchy and the nice sides. "I also find that her whinging is kind of attractive." Greg - "What I would find attractive in Greg would definitely be the whole contradiction." She explains it's rare to find a man who wants to be successful but also knows how to relax with his mates. She says she doesn't know Greg that well and if she had to change something, she wishes they could chat more and get to know each other better. Vesna third: Greg - "Things that I find attractive about Greg, apart from his physical appearance, is that he's quite placid." She says Greg is very adaptable, but also independent and "likes to satisfy". Vesna continues, saying Greg has a strong sense of right and wrong, and that he's loyal and forgiving. She grins and adds: "He has a good tan." As for his bad habits, Vesna says he does "something annoying" with his mouth that she's noticed since she's been chained to him. On a more serious note, she says she's annoyed it takes him so long to trust people and to open up. Melanie - She calls her embarrassed and prudish and says: "I would definitely change that." She says she'd like to see Melanie be louder, saying loudness is a quality she finds very attractive in people. She adds: "You're stimulating to the eyes so I think you should also show it," and: "I just feel like you could do a lot more but you're not." Tim - Vesna says she loves that he's so dignified even during the FNL challenges. She adds: "I love the way he sits at a dinner table and eats... very slowly, calmly and collectedly... it's very professional." Vesna says Tim listens well when Kate isn't around and Tim grins. She says she doesn't like the way he babbles. Greg last: Vesna - He calls her a thoughtful person and says he can see she'd go to any lengths for people she loves, and that she appreciates other people's generosity as well. Greg calls Vesna trustworthy and reliable. "Timbo" - He is his closest mate in the House. He says he likes the way Tim shows respect and his sense of realism, and says he is one of the most trusting people he's ever met. Greg called Tim "an all-round top bloke" but says he wishes Tim could relax more and enjoy life. Melanie - He tells her she's beautiful inside and outside and that he'd be extremely nervous to talk to her if he met her in a pub. He tells her: "You definitely have a great heart," but says she tends to switch off mid-conversation sometimes. "Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen," and adds he thinks both Vesna and Melanie have a bit of that coldness about them. Now that BB has gotten them to open up about each other it looks like the bickering has calmed down a bit and they are looking at each other in a little different light. Never one to let things slide, BB has to push Vesna's buttons on more time. So he says, 'Vesna, it's time to bowl!" This is not one of her favorite things to do in the house. She comments, "I don't have to bowl, and I won't!" So since she is chained to Greg and he like to bowl, she drags a chair over into the alley and sits as he tries to bowl left handed. Vesna is chained to his right hand. Tim and Melanie alternate bowling, She with her right hand and he with his left. To make matters more challanging, BB says "We are going to have a tournament. The winners "will win chocolate... a lot of chocolate". Since Vesna wants chocolate, since she can't have sex, she decides to bowl. But it is no contest. "Team Lovely," as Melanie and Tim call themselves win easily. They go to collect their prize and emerge from the Diary Room carrying a giant stash of chocolate and sweet biscuits. A dejected Vesna comments: "It's not good when the group gets segregated like this," and adds: "That's, uh, a lot of chocolate." Melanie says BB reminded them they "may not share". Greg, ever upbeat tries to stay strong, telling Vesna that if they'd wanted chocolate, they would have bought it on Monday: "Healthy food, that's it." Vesna speaks out: "I hate BB. I never win in this House ever. Everyone's competitive in here. It's always about f**king competition in here. Stay tuned for the latest twist in the house......
  18. Chain Reaction - Part 2 Well I guess this is where I get to say "I told you so." It is slightly over 24 hours into week 13's task of being chained together 24/7 and the nerves are getting a little frayed. Especially in the Greg and Vesna pair. It seems that last night as they lay in bed trying to get some sleep their subconcious took over. Vesna was constantly trying to move closer to that warm thing on the other side of the bed and Greg was constantly trying to get away from that thing which was causing him to get too hot. Vesna is always extremely body consious. She is quick with the "Are you saying that I am fat/ugly?" whenever someone says something that even resembles the words large, fat, big etc.. Even the vagest mention of what she is eating she takes as a comment that she is eating to much. So now Greg is saying that she is ugly and he doesn't want her to touch him when he moves away in his sleep. She doesn't even consider that he might not like to get hot when he sleeps. No matter how much he says he is sorry, it doesn't count!! Bicker, Bicker, Bicker is the order of the day this morning. When Tim and Greg started a little play hitting match behind their backs as the girls were making the porriage for breakfast the two girls started screaming at them to stop, since the boys' movements also moved their (the girls) arms. Just a few minutes ago, Vesna was complaining to Greg that BB has to stop this NOW because it is dangerous, and she and he chained together could get trampled by the alpacha when the walked it in their farmhand duties. The list of reasons went on and on. Vesna is in finne complaining form today and you can see Greg rolling his eyes in frustration. I am not saying that Tim and Melanie are getting along much better, but their are not the types that constantly complain. They are more the type who put shoulder to that task and push thru to the finish. Complaining quietly with only accasional outbursts. But nothing like the Vesna and Greg show. Or as Tim is now putting it, Vreg or Gesna, his play on their combined names! Stay tuned for the results of round 3......
  19. Week 13's Task - "Chain Reaction" or "Getting To Know You" It had to happen sooner or later you know. The HM get on each others nerves so they must be getting on BB's nerves too. So it is Payback Time. Today the HM were all called into the diary room for a mid-day battery change, An unusual occurance in itself so they were suspicious. As they began to leave, BB told them to take the box on the table and the letter with them and read it in the lounge. When they came out, they noticed that 2 new things had appeared in the house. A pole in the living room and one in the bathroom. Vesna started to read the letter. It is their new task. The HM must stay chained together 2x2 for the remainer of the week 24/7. Tim is cuffed to Melanie and Vesna is chained to Greg. The only exception to the rule is when showering and when in the diary room. When one member of the "team" is either bathing or in the diary room, the other must be chained to the pole either outside the diary room or the one in the bathroom. They must even stay cuffed while sleeping together and using the toilet - the chain has enough slack that one member can stand outside the toilet door while the other is occupied inside. Upon completing a shower they must reconnect within 10 seconds of the showering member becoming dry. Upon exiting the diary room they must immediately reconnect. the only exceptions to the rule is in the case of an emergency or at the explicit instructions from BB. According to the letter that Vesna read, no providion was made for changing clothes except while showering. So BB is going to make the HM get on each others nerves - literally!! The HM have decided to wager 100% of next weeks grocery budget on the successful completion of the task. I wonder how this one will turn out. Will Greg murder Vesna since she can be abrasive or will Greg commit suicide to escape? Tim should have it easy since Melanie is Kate-2. But is 24/7 with a good looking promotions model who is only 19 be to much of a good thing. Remember, Melanie has yet to show any extra skin in the house unlike the rest of the girls. Stay tuned for updates....
  20. Now This is Funny When the HM first entered the house, they found that it already had some inhabitants. Farm animals that they had to care for! Yep, I have mentioned the contraversy about Pinky and Spam, the 2 little pigs that had grown so large that BB decided to remove them from the small enclosure where they had grown up. it was just too small for them now. Well there are some more problems with the animals. Originally there were 2 pigs, 2 lambs, 2 kids (baby goats) and one alpacha (a lama). Well 3 months later, and not only Pink and Spam have grown. Look at one of the lambs... And the goats have gotten a little more frisky much to Tim's surprise... Well today (Monday) the HM made a mistake. A big one!!! It seems that the goats found out that the grass is greener on the other side. When Melanie went to do her evening chore as farmhand, as the door rolled up, there were the two goats, out of their pen! And they were investigating everything. As the door opened, here is a new place on the other side, and there is green grass!! Eat!!! Well the HM all had fun escorting them around the back yard and letting them see everything. It was fun, or so they thought. They had little problem escorting the goats back into the friday night games enclosure where the farmyard is. The goats even went into their pens. Its keeping them there that is the problem. They wanted back into the backyard where their masters always went. Watch the video and see!

  21. And now we get down to it - Week 13 Nominations How do you choose someone to evict when you like everyone and you have to choose. And you have to choose 2 and you have a pool of 3 to choose from?? Let's look at Melanie, who has been in the house less time than anyone else. And to make matters worse, you have to give a reason that BB will accept!! Again, lets look at one of them, Greg for example... It was not easy as you can plainly see. The only one with even the slightest edge was Timmy who as winner of friday night's challange had a 3 point bonus that he could award to anyone (remove 3 points). Last week when he took 3 points from Greg he accidentally put his love-interest Kate up instead. And now she is gone!! So This week he took 3 points off himself! Tim is the only one safe this week, everyone else is up for nomination!! We will let the public choose; Greg, Melanie or Vesna, It's time to Go! Which HM is unlucky in week 13??
  22. We have said over and over here in the US that BB can't go another season. Well the only way to test a theory is to actually put it to te test. In Aussie BB's case, time will tell. If channel 10 does not pick up the option, then it's their loss but I believe that BB will be back. If not next year then in 2007. Remember Star Trek? They said that there was no support for the concept. And there have been how many follow-on series that have way surpassed the first and an entire series of blockbuster movies. The cult following of the series has only grown over the years since the series started in 1973? If the Aussie house is not back in 2006, the fan base downunder will force the production company to bring it back. At least that is my opinion. This show fills a need in the human mind and soul which we here at Morty's surely realize, otherwise why do we follow it every day? At least this is my opinion. If you don't feel the same, then that is your right and I respect that.
  23. Brekkie Boy Response - Part 2 Now as to the conduct of the Show and the House. I think you have to look at the house as a microcosm or a contemporary society in miniature. In my experience, the typical australian is different from the typical american. You can see it in just the way they say hello. "Hey Mate" is a familiar catch phrase known the world over as being australian. They want to get along with each other. Although they have just as many business people as american cities and european cities, they have a more relaxed society than we do. Especially the younger people. Most australians live within 100 miles of the ocean and boats and water play a very large part in their life. Taking this into account, we see that competition is not as paramount in their life. So they would tend to lean more towards the "mates" kind of entertainment than we would. Our house is full of competition. Remember Richard Hatch in Survivor Season one. One day one he was trying to get Tagi to come together and build the team so they could get further in the "game". Richard would love the Aussie house. Team plays a central part in the house. Conflict is intentionally downplayed by the production staff. Not in our house. Even nominations are totally secret. Yes you got points, but from who? And when you get voted out, it in NOT by your HM but by the watching audience, distant from teh house. And when you get out, who is there but a live audience who adores you and is supportive. Again Team! Even in the weekly tasks it is all about forming a collective group effort towards a common goal! Australia and New Zeland are a much more relaxed society than here or in the UK where if what I see here on Morty's is true, competition between houseguests is just as keen. Not true in the Aussie house. Competition is against BB not against your HM. The only direct competition between HM is in a controlled environment each friday night during a short timespan and it is for a stay in the rewards room during the weekend with one of your mates. So if it seems more sedate and not as exciting to you, then yes it is if you are looking for the typical US or UK house. But to a Bloke or a Shelia, its just fine mate!!
  24. Overall I think this years Aussie BB House has been a good one. I disagree with you on the week 1 eviction of Constance and Nelson. The producers were very explicit in their statement that all HM this year must meet three basic requirements. 1) They must be between 19 and 29 years of age. 2) They must be single and not have any serious relationships outside the house. 3) They must be up front with the production staff in all statements made prior to and during the selection process. The main aim of these three requirements, foremost above all other requsites for this years house, was that there must be a balance in the house of men and women, that: a) were of a like age group for forming in-house relationships and not be too overbearing of others in the house due to age brackets and immaturity. willing to form those relationships or foster relationships between others c) had similar life experiences and or levels of maturity which would not cause undue friction in the house. Both Constance and Nelson violated rules 2 and 3 of the prime requisites of the house. Although Dean did violate rule 2, he did notify the selection staff of the change in his relationship status during the process. This alone saved him from week 1 eviction. BB instead put him up for nomination and let the voting public decide his fate. He stayed. As to rules a, b and c, all of the HM have varied life experiences which when mixed together in this closed environment, did bring out some friction but not nearly as much as we saw in the first 2 weeks of the US house. In this we see that the Aussie staff did a much better job at selecting HM than we did. Overall, the mix did well. We saw Christie and Greg form a bond. Vesna and Hotdogs also. Geneva was always a wildcard. Glenn and Michael were typical Aussie blokes and had more fun together than they did with the girls although Glenn did have a lot of fun with Michelle. Gianna didn't stay in the house long enough to really affect the outcome. As to the twin twist of David and Greg, this was an attempt to possibly add a little spice into the house, ala our last years house. The selection process for the twins was not as thorough as ours. The fact that David lacked Gregs tattoo on his ankle was a fatal flaw. Why did he stay in the house to long? The twins matched so well with the other HM that until the number of HM dropped to the point that they might have an advantage over the other HM it made sense to leave both of them in. Only when the other HM started thinking about the twin advantage was one evicted. All in all, we have to look at the house as the producers do. The house is a source of revenue. As long as the viewers come back, they watch TV and that sells advertising. This year held the Australian audience VERY well. Their ratings are far better than ours. As long as they stay up, then the staff did good. And the HM are having a ball at the same time!!
