3:21 PM Monday (their time) In the new divided bedroom, one half no longer has double/queen beds. Now it has army cots!!!!! Can't see the other room yet. Now I see it. It has three queen size beds!

In the animal enclosure the HG are walking around trying to stay warm. Remember, in 2 days it will be officially winter in Brisbane Australia!!

3:42 PM Can now see that there are 5 army cots in one half of the new bedroom.

11:52 PM (our time 2:52 PM theirs)

HG are getting bored in the animal enclosure. Christie and Geneva are practicing cheerleading dances. Christie makes up a short song... "I am getting bored. I am getting bored." The guys are joking. Vesna and Tim are watching the animals. Little do they expect what is happening inside the house!!! Kate is leaning on Dean and holding on to gather body heat. She is wet and wearing a short sleeve blouse!!!

BB shows the inside of the house!! A crew is rebuilding the bedroom!!! They are errecting a wall down the center. BB tells Logan David and Glenn to let Christie and Geneva out of the Port-A-Potty where they locked them earlier!!! Crew still working in the bedroom!!!

11:28 and the HG, especially the girls are complaining because it has started to rain/sprincle. Christie and Geneva get into the Port-A-Poty and the guys gather around and start beating on it and rocking it!! Girls scream!! Kate holds a big plastic container lid over her hair.. Guys braving the elements. FOTH again.

Still no word on why they had to pack their bags, but then they can't see the house either!!!! Humm! Their bags are all packed and their clothes are getting wet!!!???

Geneva comments that they may be there for a while since the port-a-potty is not usually there except during friday night competitions!!

While HG goes to tapes of HG auditions (FOTH again) I check out the diary. Seems the golf instructions were "Pair off with your bed partner (everyone on double beds). This is practice for this weeks task. A BB Masters Gold Tournament which will be held later this week.

11:19 HG still in animal enclosure and .... now back to FOTH tapes!!!

11:05 PM HG are in the enclosure and the baby pigs, baby goats, baby lambs and the young alpaca seem happy to see them and especially the food!!! The HG watch as Tim and Vesna, who have this task assigned for the week, feed and groom the animals!!

Hotdogs and Logan David help feed the babies the bottles of milk/formula.

11:03 PM BB announces the official winners. Geneva, Hotdogs, Loagan David, Glenn and Tim. BB tells all of the HG to go to the animal pens and feed the animals. This puts them on the other side of the enclosure doors and they can't see the house. Maybe something is up??

19 minutes are up again. Now trying to get back on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stream still at capacity!! Back on at 10:55... HG Standing and waiting...

Back and Hotdogs won his round.

Next is Logan David and Dean. David hits the pin with his ball.!! Dean hits his out of the backyard!!! David wins. As he goes to get his ball he notices that "No wonder it didn't go in, there is no hole!"

Next is Kate and Glenn. Kate hits 3 feet. Glenn wins.

Logan Greg and Tim are the last pair. Tim misses his first swing, but hits it on the 2nd. Even though Christie shouts, Greg hits it but the shout made him hit badly and Tim wins!!

Awaiting BB instructions....

Got bumped off the feed again, trying to get back on!!! Now back on and the HG are all gathered in the back yard!!

BB tells HG to pair up. Christie and Geneva are first. It is a chip shot at a flag with a golf club. Geneva wins. Next is Hotdogs and Vesna.

BB Closes the feed and goes to music. Aussis version of FOTH.

One pillow fight later and now Logan David is playing Rock, Paper, Sizzors with Christie to see who flicks the other on the nose. The HG have been doing this game for the last 2 weeks. Christie's nose is now red!!

Still no word on what is going on from BB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of the HG think it may be a suprise eviction!!

Now this is making me mad. You only get 19 minutes at a time on the aussie feed. I ran out and now I can't get back in since the feed is at capacity!!! Will keep trying..

Got back in at 10:15 (our time). HG still waiting. Hotdogs just wrapped Christie in pink tissue paper he found somewhere.....

Everyone still rushing around in the bedroom packing. Christie and Geneva just unpacked earlier this morning after the evictions last night (they were 2 of the 3 nominees) now they are the first repacked since their stuff was in sort of an order. Also packed are Logan Greg and Logan David. Next is Hotdogs and Kate and Tim. Dean, Glenn and Vesna still working at it. Everyone finished at 1:08 PM.

The Aussie House has just been instructed to immediately gather all of their stuff, go to the bedroom and pack their suitcases NOW!! They have limited time to complete this task!! They are told to stay in the bedroom and do not come out under any circumstances until instructed to do so!!!

They are told nothing else. Time is 12:53 PM on Monday 19 June (Australia time, 9:53 PM Sunday central US time)

I have finally found the dumbest person on the face of the earth.

Vesna, one of the replacement HG in the Aussie BB House, has plumbed the depths of stupidity. She is setting on the couch and asking Tim (the brain of the house) questions. Here are a few examples:

1. Where is Iceland and can she visit there? Tim tells her east of Greenland. Where is that? East of Canada. Oh. What language do the speak?

I remember the week before BB4, there was a comercial or preview with I think Marcellas and or Lisa showing the new layout of the house. But never remember a look at the faces.

I think that I have solved the problem/question of the error message on the last/bottom video on the CBS site. If you actually look at the address for the first two videos, the file name is a five digit number for the actual streaming video stored on the CBS server or possibly stored on the RealPlayer site. For the bottom video there is a six digit number (101242). The numbers for the top two are 10223 and 10224. I think the bottom is a Typo and should be 10242 but nobody at the company who is maintaining the the site has gotten around to fixing the problem (or they can't find the actual video file!!).

And at No. 1... $25,000 for every time Cowboy bragged about how great a rodeo performer her was.

Remember how bad he was trying to rope something in the backyard just after saying how great he was!!!!!

Only one with implants??!! And they said that they were looking for HG who were fully prepared to boink it in the house????

$5,000 for everytime Holly opened her mouth and assulted my ears with that voice that sounded like fingernails on a blackboard!!!!

This is basicly the way our show did it in the first season. It is also similar to the Australian house this year.

There, each contestant gives 2 points to one HG and 1 point to another. But they have to give a reason for why they are giving the points!! Then the 3 or 4 HG with the most points are placed on the nomintions block for votes by the public who call in overnight. The one with the most calls is OUT.

By the way, BB can award points to houseguests for various infractions of the rules. The one saving grace is the winner of the friday night competition can take 3 points away from one of the nominated HG.

The flaw is that they are only told who the 3 nominated HG are, not how many points they have. Therein is the problem. Gianna who won last friday was on the block so she took 3 points off her total! WRONG!! The points totals (pre-Gianna taking 3 point off) were Geneva - 7, Gianna - 8, Hotdogs (his real name) - 8. After taking 3 points Gianna had 5 which now equaled Michael's total which left her still on the block but now put Michael on the block too!! So this week they have 4 HG on the block for the public to vote on.

True you would think so, but they are complaining about everything but the fines. These HG are like a flock of roosters in a small henhouse. Pecking on each other about everything. One guy complains about how sloppy the other is and how he dosen't do his chores right. The girls are about to pull each others hair out. I have seen at least 5 different clicks between various girls in the last 16 days!! And the guys are always "she did and she didn't/won't" or "he did and he dosen't" I expect to see a knockdown bareknuckle fight between the guys soon, and the catfight that is coming you could sell tickets to!!

But when it comes to the money, they are always "sorry guys" when BB calls out a fine and "maybe the fine money is going to charity so it's not so bad"!!

Yes, they can take it off when they go to bed, but must take it off when they shower and also must take it off if they get in the pool, sauna or the hot tub. And with that little note we have another update for day 16...

Fines are up by 2 more!!! Day 16 had a total of 4 $5,000 fines...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 16 - 01:25 - Michelle - Mic tied around wrist - $5,000

Day 16 - 11:45 - Tim & Gianna - Not following BB's instructions - $5,000

Day 16 - 12:30 - Christie - Microphone - $5,000

Day 16 - 15:48 - David - Microphone - $5,000

So the total remaining prize money now stands at $870,000 in only 16 days!!!!

Well the lull has passed, the fines total is now up to $120,000 And it is only day 16 in the house. 16 mic fines in 16 days and they still have 70 days to go!! By this means of calculation they will match the prize for our house by the end of the show, $500,000. Seems a shame that they are throwing half of their prize away because they are too dumb to keep track of something that they wear around their neck all day long???!!!

I have been watching Logan 1&2 doing the baking this morning. Rules say that the baker has to bake one loaf of bread each day for every 5 people in the house. This week they are baking 2 loaves with yeast for the hg and 1 loaf without yeast for Michelle. They guys are the hoot trying to do this just right. The bread is made from scratch with each ingredient having to be measured or weighed on the kitchen scales. pouring the flour into the scales from a 20 lb bag was funny. I use a scoop and then put it on the scales!! Also today Logan ran out of sugar on the first loaf. So loaf #2 and Michelles will be without any sugar to help the loaf rise!!!
