I live in Central Time Zone which is GMT -6 and they are in Brisbane Australia which is GMT +10 so they are 16 hours ahead of me. It is now 9:42 PM here on 20 May and it is 1:42 PM on 21st May there.

I don't know for sure (yet, but will find out) but the calander on the diary page only goes thru the month of July so that may be how long it is. When I find out definately, I will post it here on the forum!!

Update: I have looked everywhere and the only thing I can find is that the show is planned to last 3 months so the calander ending in July would be correct. Since evictions in the Aussis BB House are on Sunday Nights, that places the Finale on either the 24th or the 31st. That is a total of 12 weeks in the house for someone. If they don't loose anymore prize money that puts it at $10,714 per day for the winner!!!

Somebody's fine got restored because the site says that the total is back up to $900,00. It had to have been an old one because all is those from day 12 are still listed on the fine listing.

They had fun earlier today (tonight their time). Gianna who won last nights games competition along with Christie have been in the rewards room with all the booze and food they can consume for 2 days. So they came out barely dressed and played with/on the stripper pole in the living room to entertain the other houseguests and were they entertained. Gianna barely had on a sexy light blue nurse outfit (didn't cover her black panties) and Christie had on a black bra and black "barely there" panties and black high heel boots! Needless to say the guys enjoyed the show.

Very interesting article Hanklee can't imagine how boring the show would be to have to watch for any physical contact.  Glad BB US is not like that then again the extreme is the Australian BB. Guess we are never happy no matter what they do lol.

From all the hype about the new BB UK, it looks like they are intentionally selecting houseguests who "will" get it on in the house. It is supposed to premier on May 27th.

Just in from Bangkok Thailand News

Producers of "Big Brother-Thailand" have been called on to explain behaviour deemed improper by the country's culture watchdogs after two contestants were seen holding hands, touching and lying together under bedding.

The House of Representatives' committee on religion, arts and culture, warned that the show, launched in April, would be scrapped next week if they could not provide adequate rationale for keeping it on the air.

"The improper behaviour by contestants, including hugging, kissing and touching each other, is one of the reasons" for the concern, committee chairman Kuthep Saikrajang told AFP.

"I have no idea how this program is good for society," he said.

Seems you can go the Thailand and have sex on any downtown street and in any strip bar or massage parlor but you can't show it on TV!!!

Oh, and by the way, it is only day 10 in the Aussie house!!

It's day 8 in the Aussie house and lies are catching up with the houseguests.

20:36 BB evicts Constance, Nelson and Dean.

As per BB's instructions, the HMs are gathered in the lounge room. Suddenly the all sit up. They think they can see Gretel, or possibly BB standing outside the door.

BB addresses the HMs, telling them: "Some HMs broke the BB rules and used deception to become a HM. This is unfair to the other HMs. On several occasions during the audition process you were advised you must tell us if your personal circumstances change." He goes on to say that Constance, Nelson and Dean must leave tonight and there's no time to say goodbye. Despite this, they hug and kiss and BB insists: "HMs, leave the house immediately." All three walk up the stairs and are led to the rewards room, which is now furnished only with three stretcher beds.

BB tells them: "You agreed to be honest and truthful in all your dealings with BB." He tells Nelson and Constance that they were not honest, and they bragged about their deception and adds: "Dean, you confessed to your deception only when confronted by BB at the 11th hour. BB has decided your fate and will inform you in due course." 

Later, Dean reveals: "Man, I was f**king stunned when I heard that." He goes on to tell them that he's comfortable with all his actions.

Constance and Nelson lied to BB durirng the selection process by not admitting that they had significant others. One criteria was that they be single and not "attached". Apparently Dean is also attached outside the house.

Oh, by the way, the Prize is now down to $930,000.

One thing that is different about the Australian Big Brother, the set is on a major amusement park called Dreamland which is also apparently a film studio like MGM or Universal here in the states. The Sunday night show when they have evictions has a huge audience that pays to get in.

$15 to sit on the grass in the stadium, $20 in the Silver seats (row 13 - 26) and $87 to sit in the first 12 rows or Gold seats. This includes entry into Dreamland Amusement park. Here is a look at the stage area.

So Big Brother in Australia is a money-making project with a special store which sells Big Brother Merchandise. For more infor here is the link.

What about the rules that you cannot discuss your favorite houseguests from any country!!!

No thanks needed guys .... just a loyal fan of BIG BROTHER, and I have to do something while I am at work (HE HE!!)

It appears from all of the articles (now 81 of them) avaliable on the BB Aussie site, that the Prize money (now at $945,000) goes to the final houseguest. - ALL OF IT!!!! (that is left after all of the fines that is)

I have just found the rules in the Australian BIG BROTHER House and they are long. Here is the link

http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/news/.../article_76.asp

This is a link to the current list of fines and who got them -

Here is a list of what CAN be in the house -

http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/news/.../article_77.asp

An finally, this is a list of the chores which the houseguests MUST do each day and who must do them

http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/news/.../article_80.asp

what was the latest offense?

The latest fine was on Christie for forgetting to put her mike back on after taking a nap. She started talking with the other houseguests without the mike and BB hit her with the $5,000 fine.

For everyone's info, you can see who got a fine and what for by looking on the main page http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/ and looking at the heading called DIARY which gives the latest info for the current day. To see more Diary info, click on the Diary link on the green bar right under the word NEWS.

Prize now down to $945,000.

We don't know!! Could be that one of our guys is on the final list and is keeping faith with the agreement they signed with the production company to keep mum until July 7th!!!

Here is hoping that we have a secret mole in the HOUSE!!!

BB must have reniged on on of the penalties, prize is now back up to $960,000.

A kinder Big Brother, I don't think so!!!!

But at least the games seem better, everyone got into the hot tub a one time, all 14 of them!!!!

This crowd is a little lighter weight than our last 3 seasons, it is only 2 AM there and everyone is sound asleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need to import the selection staff from the Aussie BB production crew!! This group is UP for anything. The girls have had two topless get-togethers already and it is only day 4. Last night they had a big birthday bash for Michelle (the model) in the spa and then decided to have a round of "Lets see who kisses the Best"!! If anyone came into the house with any germs, they are now equally shared by everyone. Even the girl who was a little stand-offish (Kate) decided to join the kissing.

So listen up BB6 USA crew, we demand equal entertainment!! If they can do it down-under, we can do it better in the good old USA!!

But you can leave out the secret twin thing. Been there, Done that!!

Oh, and by the way, their prize money is still falling, total penalties up to $45,000. So the prize money now stands at $955,000.

Of course remember how Amy got so falling down drunk that she could not even talk straight, much less walk!! She needs to come back on the show more than anypne else!!

Overnight they have been penalized an additional $15,000..

Day 3 - 21:42 The two groups are each awarded a five thousand dollar fine.

BB gives Christie and Gianna a five thousand dollar fine for discussing nominations and, if it happens again, may award them a strike. Meanwhile, Geneva, Angela, Constance and Dean are gossiping about Gianna and Christie outside. They hear Christie and Gianna get called into the Diary Room and start to speculate that maybe BB is showing them the footage where the group has been bitching about them. Geneva is worried about Christie because she hasn't been eating. Dean adds: "Or shitting." Constance says: "Maybe they have eating disorders."

When Christie and Gianna come out of the Diary Room, Nelson asks them what happened? He says: "Did you have to take ten Panadols in a row?" They giggle and say: "Nothing."

Then Geneva, Constance, Dean, Glenn and Angela get called into the Diary Room. BB reveals they have earned a five thousand dollar fine for speaking in code and, like Christie and Gianna, may get a strike against them if they do it again.

Has anyone heard whether the rules for our new season have been posted anywhere and if there are going to be similar penalties this season???

Yep, they copied our last season twist, but the guys (see photo below) did it one better, they had one minute to switch clothes in the diary room and they proceeded to change everthing!! To include underwear!!!!!

BIG BROTHER in Australia has started and has gotten tough on the new House Rules!! The guests were told the rules on day one and they have been laughing them off, ha ha. But the joke is on them!! They have lost $10,000 of their final prize money already and the first week is not half over. Check out this link to their site!!

http://www.bigbrother.3mobile.com.au/news/.../article_58.asp

Their Prize money is now down to $990,000.

I think all of the girls from previous shows would be good.
