Day 4

9.18am – As the housemates wake up outside there is talk of the task. Most are speculating they will be tested on each other later today. Kane and Paul are playing hoops and “let” Trevor play with them.

1.06pm – Over lunch the housemates are testing each other for the task. Merlin asks which housemate worked in a retail store in Surfers Paradise. The answer is Krystal, and Igor makes the comment that she was rubbing up against something. Elle speaks up telling him that it’s not a nice comment and they he should stop saying things like that. All of the other housemates are silent.

Later while washing up the girls discuss how some of the housemates (particularly some of the boys) are not pulling their weight. Talk turns to one particular guy who is not showing any care or effort. Aphro says that she will tell him off, but Krystal reminds here there will be concequences. No prizes to those who guessed they’re talking about Igor.

Later Krystal explains to some of the other housemates that she thinks it’s not Aphro’s responsibility to pull Igor into line.

BREAK

3.28pm – The housemates are tested on their task – to get to know each other. Terri is called into the diary room first, and can’t answer her question properly: “What do the inscriptions on Merlin’s dogtags mean?”. Later, Merlin is asked the names of Catherine’s children, he eventually gets it right and starts acting like a total dork screaming and cheering about getting it right. He climbs halway up a tree while screaming. The last housemate called, Trevor (how ironic) can’t answer his question: “Who is Kane’s sporting idol?”.

4.13pm – The young female housemates are gabbering on like 14 year old school girls. This time it’s about Igor… again. Krystal says she feels sorry for his girlfriend. The girlfriend is news to Aphrodite who is extremely shocked that one exists. She’s annoyed that the girlfriend has seen her acking like a shitkicker these last few days.

BREAK

4.28pm – Big Brother calls the housemates to the basketball court, and announces the task result – they passed. Their weekly budget is now $306. The housemates are also allowed back into the house. They run into the house with Krystal first – obviously forgetting that her bikini top does not give her much chest support.

Most of the housemates lie on their beds, with Kane and Merlin acting like dorks (again) by jumping on their beds and screaming.

Aphro and Igor are in the bathroom together so Aphro decides to talk to Igor. She tells him he needs to pull his load more. Igor tells her he IS pulling his load.

Later the ‘blokes’ are talking in the bedroom… about the girls. Igor is looking extremely pissed off. They go through who is single in the house, and Paul says “it really is a meat market if you want it”. Igor suggest that Merlin should be doing something with Ashalea. Ryan tells him to stop pressuring him.

7.04pm – Aphro is bitching to Merlin about Igor. Merlin tells her he hasn’t been monitoring the cleaning or anything. Despite this he is quick to praise himself, saying that he would always put it more effort than his share (puh-leez).

BREAK

8.04pm – Terri, Elle and Paul are discussing how there is a lot of backchat going on in the house. At the same time Aphro has confronted Igor about his effort in the house, again in the bathroom. Igor shrugs the conversation off asking for a hug.

8.56pm – Merlin is talking to Trevor about Ashalea. Quite an important moment in the house because this is the most talking Trevor has ever done… or not. Merlin spends the time talking about how Ashalea joked about being Merlin being her brother… and then half cousin (so they could jokingly have sex).

Later in the kitchen Merlin tells Terri and Aphrodite that his relationship with Ashalea is nothing like anyone thinks.

2.18am – The remaining awake housemates all make a pledge to stay up the entire night.

2.53am – The remaining awake housemates all go to bed.

Day 3 Uplate

With Rove never finishing on time, Up Late starts at 11:40ish, and we, as per usual, start with the opening credits. Then, we are taken Mike in the studio, and someone is asleep on the Plasma TV. He says Ash and Merlin are talking, and also Aphro and Igor are chatting away. But straight into an up late update. That over with, we launch into the brain teasers for the first time tonight. But then into the action, where the vision is of people sleeping. Thought they were awake! It does look like everyone is asleep. Mike comes back on and says they were talking a minute ago! Merlin and Ashalea are sleeping very closely together. He starts talking about the website. They have had 2.46 Million impressions so far on the site. Exciting stuff! SuperDave in the truck is getting the website together so they can have a surf of it online. He says he hopes they have logged in tonight! At least he has a sense of humour. Can’t believe these housemates are still sleeping outside. Apparently today they got enough food for another week hahaha. Anyway, Mike is going to take the quiz on the OS. It involves underwear. Lovely! He gets one incorrect and gives up. He moves over to the website poll. He says it never works out to be correct, which is a load of rubbish, because Reggie had a huge popularity percentage for most of BB3.

Ashalea is sitting up in bed. Amazing. She is looking through her things for a…wait for it, a hair clip! Then puts the beanie on, plays with her hair for a few seconds and then lies back down in bed. No words are spoken to anyone. This Up Late is working so well for 10 at the moment.Oooah hello, Merlin is awake now, and they are whispering about something, can’t make it out. Ash asks if he’s tired, to which he says no, but then says ‘everyone else has gone to sleep.’ They get back in their sleeping position (very close to each other) and try to get back to sleep. OMG, Mike just takes a rumour posted to BBBA about Ashalea never taking off her makeup as his own knowledge and tells the world. He says her friend told her opening night. Yeh right, Mikey, we believe ya ;)

Mike craps on about nothing, the trivia and not much else for a little bit before we finally head to another up late update. Now he’s onto some emails. Not very exciting any of them. BBLIA gets a plug from someone, if anyone is interested. He sends us back to the house, so we watch the people sleep in silence for a couple of minutes. Gotta be an ad break soon surely. 2 minutes later Mike starts yelling at them. It doesn’t do any good whatsoever. Now brainteaser winner is Carina. She says it’s very entertaining tonight. She wins the $1000 with the answer of Merlin. Finally we get an ad break after being introduced to the second brainteaser.

Back with Mikey who gets the honour of telling BB to turn those outside lights out. It takes a few seconds to fade out, and then the infra red camera’s kick in. So, what else does Mike have to crap on about. Oooh, he’s going to show earlier vision from tonight. Excellent.

[Earlier] Paul is saying that Merlin is pretty tall. He’s only 5’8 though apparently! A bloody lot of people talking, we really need to get some of these people evicted. Ashalea is talking about her self defence stuff, and what she needed to do to get her black belt. Ryan says that skipping is really good to keep fit. LOL. Terri is saying that something is on the floor inside. Paul says he doesn’t care what it is. All he says is that he knows that BB is up to no good. Krystal says that the Lava Lamp inside is on, and is laughing at us. Aphro says did they actually lock the house. Trevor says he locked it on the way. Krystal says “So we could open it. If we wanted to rebel, we could open it?” Bree tells her the note said to not attempt to re enter the house. She’s a smart cookie! Aphro asks what is wrong with Krystal. She says that she wants to march into the diary room and tell BB to damn well let us in. Krystal says she feels rejected by BB at the moment, and then she says she feels neglected by him. Make up your mind! Aphro isn’t rejected by him, she says it could be soo much worse. Aphro says that you can tell in his voice that he’s feeling for the housemates (referring to BB.) Krystal says that it’s about time to let them back in. She says ‘we did this last night’ so it’s getting boring. [End of Earlier] Mike cuts in, and so it pauses there, and then he throws to the brainteaser. Comm break. It’s just after 12:25am

Back at 12:32am with Mikey in the studio. He runs through brain teaser once more. Now, another uplate update from the 7pm show. This is the third one. Ah, seeing I haven’t seen the daily show it helps me out. Now, onto the new technology with 3. Exciting…Back to the house live…still nothing happening at all. Everyone asleep. C’mon, cut back to earlier footage. Please….Mike comes back 5 minutes later, and then cuts to a comm break.

At 12:45, 1 hour in, we are back. Darren from Qld is the winner for the second brainteaser. Well he will be when he gives the answer. And yes, he does. He gets the $1000, and Mike sends us to earlier footage.[Earlier] Aphro says to Igor “You dropped your guts didn’t ya?” Krystal and Aphro are still talking about being locked outside. They say if it’s a week, so be it. Igor says they will have to be inside for nominations early next week. Good point that. Krystal and Kane make some noise by slapping the table. Kane asks BB to chuck on a couple of tunes for them. Yeh no worries Kane, just a sec buddy. And then it’s paused.[End of Earlier]

Mike cuts in and runs through the third brain teaser for the night. Very easy one, it’s Ryan. Mike tell us that he might have a special guest for Mon Tues and Wed next week….Back to earlier though now. [Earlier] Krystal is complaining about not having any toiletries with her. Kane says not to worry, you gotta live through it. One minute into the earlier footage and we have a comm break. :( [End of earlier]

Back at 12:58, Mike runs through a few emails that have come through. Just a heap of shoutouts. Moves onto the brain teaser again, and give the clue. Back to Earlier footage now:

Aphro, Trevor and Kane are talking about a guy called Jimmy, who they think is a dickhead. They’ve met him through BB obviously, and they don’t like him or something. They are saying that he’ll be at the finale and they will all call him a dickhead while they are on stage. Mike tells us that there is better stuff later, so they will fast forward through a bit. Mike reads some emails then tells us that next week’s guest will be Sara Marie will be on Up Late for the first three days next week. It’s all advertising though, she’s doing it for those nicotene patches. Now, back to the action we head. Trevor, Kane and Elle are talking while getting themselves a drink. They are talking about the Krystal-Elle ‘hump’ last night. Elle says she got out of it very quickly when she realised what Krystal was doing. Before one minute has gone, it’s another damn commercial break.

It is 1:11am at the moment. Brain teaser time, it’s Brett in Queensland who gets it this time round. He gets the cash, and the phone call lasts for a couple of minutes. Brain teaser #4 is now underway, the last for the evening. Just realised they haven’t replayed any of these updates just yet, which is good. They had 3 updates last night, and played all of them twice.

Back to live footage for a second, before we are taken back to earlier events. Terri is complaining about her sunburn. Bree and Paul listen to her. Talk moves onto what BB has said to them in the diary room. Terri says all he has said to her is “Is that all?” Trevor is talking Elle into going into the diary room so they can get answers to a few questions regarding toilet paper etc. They start saying that they shouldn’t use a roll each time they go. Kane or someone yells out “Yeh, c’mon Aphro” Funny stuff. Elle has wimped going into BB, instead preferring to get her hot water billie or some rubbish. Mike cuts in, gives us a clue for the final brain teaser of the night, before cutting to a break.

Mike is back, and it’s 1:25am. Only 20 minutes or so to go. He forgot to give the clue for the brain teaser, so he does it now. Ok, so now we go and check on the live action for a sec, same old stuff there, so we jump into earlier action. No actually, Mike appears bottom left of the screen, and says that Merlin should fall in love with Ashalea. He says we should all send positive vibes their way. More emails now, not action from earlier. That lasts for a few minutes, before we do get that earlier footage. Aphro asks Kane to go away so she can talk to Elle alone. Elle starts crying for some unknown reason now. They are trying to talk each other up now. Dunno what happened before though. She says she doesn’t want people to ask Krystal for a strip show. She doesn’t feel comfortable when they all talk like that (Elle this is). They both say that they respect that it’s only a job for her. Elle is saying that Krystal doesn’t need the guys mocking her about her job. Elle says that she and Trev got up and left the group last night when Krystal was asked about the stripping constantly cause they don’t need to her that crap. Elle says that she couldn’t discuss those kind of things with the whole group cause she doesn’t have the same connection with everyone. She would rather have 1 on 1’s than a group conversation. Aphro somehow changes the subject, saying that Igor said he had sex 12 times in one night, but not many people believed him. Aphro believes him because she has done it 9 times in the one night, but she felt very sick after it. Comm break cuts in at the perfect time.

Mike is back again at 1:38am, so this will be the last segment for the night. The brain teaser game is closed. But before they play the game, they go back to the convo between Elle and Aphro. They get up because the water has boiled or something and Elle wants a coffee. Trevor burnt his finger. Ah the guy is a legend. He gets Elle’s cup of coffee, and checks she’s alright before he heads away. Trev has his finger to his ear, and it looks like he’s talking on a mobile. Quite funny. Trev is gonna have some CoCo Pops before he goes to bed. Elle makes herself some jam on bread. Trev and Elle are sitting down talking. He talks about his girlfriend outside. He calls her all kind of names. He then goes onto the story of how they met, or hooked up. Nothing happened for the first few nights, there is a 9 year gap in their relationship. He was 26 at the time, she was 17. He asked her out over the phone. It tooks a few months to get to the ‘kissing and stuff like that’ stage, LOL.

Mike cuts in for the final time I think, and they still have to give Patrick a $1000. he wins the money, then tells us that they have some suprises in store for tomorrow night. Mike says goodnight, Dreamworld says goodnight and the show is over.

Where’s Warren?
Dave!

Day 2 Uplate

Just before we start, this is Live Updates from the house. Monday night is Day 2. Meanwhile the evening show shown earlier tonight was footage from Sunday in the house, and thus called Day 1. So in future, all the Up Late updates will be one day ahead of the Daily Show updates. Anyway, on with the show!

We get the full BB opening credits for Up Late this year – last year it was a shortened version. Anyway, we join the house where a few people are talking. Quickly taken away from the vision to Mikey G who is in a nice red studio and has a plasma screen next to him! He tells us what is planned for Up Late this year, including extra cash, before launching into the up late update. Apparently (although I have yet to watch it) it was shown during the daily show, so I’m going to skip recapping that. Mike tells us that Terri earlier in the evening admitted to having a foursome.

Without further ado, we are sent into the BB house where it looks like everyone is still up and active. It looks a lot busier in the house than it did when we first joined up late, so it should be an interesting night. We join and Krystal is talking about how she’s an exotic dancer. Actually she is talking about everything the other housemates have found out about her today. She also says they have found out that she likes the bottle a bit! She then says that Australia also saw her humping Elle. All in just one day. Good work Krystal! Ryan quickly tells her that Elle will never be the same again. Elle is listening to this conversation as well, so Krystal tells her that she thinks she should hump Krystal back. Elle decides perhaps wisely, to pass the opportunity. “She only likes to receive. Not a giver” Krystal fires back! She continues talking to Paul and says it’s a lot to take in for the public in just one night, so she will pull back now and try to give someone else the spotlight. She says “Tomorrow I will just try to keep….” and someone, Kane I think, yells out “Quiet!”. That was good. Yeh it was Kane. Now too many convo’s going on at once, can’t understand a word. Krystal then starts telling Kane that it’s been a big night for her. Here we go again. Wisely, we cut to a Trevor, Wesley, Merlin, Bree and Aphro conversation. Aphro tells everyone she hasn’t done a chick yet. Bree says she has done several. Aphro can’t believe she hasn’t! Bree blurts out to Trevor that he has just earnt himself a nomination. Poor guy was just standing there. Everyone tells her to shush up I think, and she quickly says loudly that it was just a joke. That breaks up the conversation, Aphro saying that everyone should go to bed. Bree decides it’s time to use the Port A Loo. Merlin is just walking around, but we cut away from him quickly. Terri and Aphro discuss what day it is. Terri says it’s Day 3 tomorrow. Aphro says she feels like she is starting to bloat. She doesn’t really want to use the Port-A-Loo. She says “Cause right now I feel like I’m really full of shit.” Lovely. Bree is out of the toilet and is getting her pajama’s on.

Bree is getting ready to do the splits, but Terri tells everyone that she is going to do it, and thus, gets stagefright! Ryan comes and tell Krystal to go to bed and stop bugging the boys. She seems very drunk. She says she has to go to the toilet before heading to bed. Then Mike comes back and gives a clue (Answer is Uplate). He also goes onto say they have an email address this year: [email protected] He then says that it’s time for another UpLate Update! Again, it’s already screened, so we’ll skip past this. Back to Mike, who sends us back to the house.

LOL. They are talking about all 14 of them getting a disease and the show has to stop. Wesley says that ‘Seinfield’ will be back on at 7pm quicker than anyone can say anything. Lovely, they are talking about making sure everyone uses toilet paper properly and making sure it’s all gone from you know where. Kane is really into this conversation, that says a lot about him yeh? Everyone seems to be ready for bed, a lot of peeps lying down but not yet asleep. Aphro is saying to someone what did his last slave die of. Ashalea wants to sleep inbetween Merlin and Aphro….oooh love in the BB house, isn’t it sweet! Is it Melvin or Merlin? Weird, they seem to be calling him Melvin. Anyway, moving on. Aphro and Igor are having an argument, and quick crys from the others say ‘The husband and wife are having troubles!’ Now Aphro and Ashalea are moving her bed so she can be close to Merlin. Ashalea says she is now inbetween the two hottest people in the house. Mike comes through again, and says there is 4 games of Trivia tonight. Denny is the first to win anyway. I dunno about her name. She is from Victoria. Maybe Jenny. I don’t know! She doesn’t know what she’ll do with the cash. Her fave is Ryan at the moment. Next brainteaser is alive now. He tells everyone what they might do when the HM’s go to sleep, but before all that, we have a commercial break :)

Back with Uplate now, and Mike shows up again, or as I like to call him “Trivia Dude!”. Back to the house though. Catherine is saying out loud that Ashalea moved her bed. Bree and Kystal are talking standing up. They say goodnight to Aphro. Krystal does seem a bit drunk, but anyway. She moves on and gives Wesley a hug. SHe’s had a hard day she says. She says that Kane is such a shit stirrer. She says she’ll see him tomorrow, and Wesley says “I’ll be here.” She then heads to bed and says someone has been using her sleeping bag because it’s unzips. But now she’s not so sure. She says goodnight to Elle, then Paul (what the heck is there only one person in this house. The camera’s just follow her!), then Ryan, who she calls a prick under her breathe. But I think it’s all in good fun. Kane is shit stirring her again, trying to work her up. She takes her mic off, and they all say “Goodnight Australia.” Mike cuts in at this stage, and takes us into another update from the 7pm show. Again, no recapping. End of update, hehe, it was one with a bit of bitching! Back onto Mike who goes through the trivia, or brain teaser, as they like to call it. The word is Igor. So hard this comp, as it is every year. But only NT, SA and WA can’t play this year, which is an improvment. Comm Break.

Back again. But only to Mike…He goes through an email they just received. It’s someone wanted to wish someone a happy birthday. Thats a great start….Anyway, time for Trivia number 2. I think…no maybe just a reminder. LOL he says that this show is boring when the housemates are asleep. At least he’s funny people. No it’s just the clue again. More money have to go into the coffers before they give the $ away. Now, back to the house. Kane is taking off Johny Howard. They don’t seem to like poor John. Aphro says that BB has been very quiet tonight. They laugh that all the camera’s have gone home. Igor hit’s the nail on the head and says it would be funny if they were on TV at this moment. Silence desends over the bunch, except for Igor’s end of the sleeping bags. Aphro says she is wrapped not to be married to Igor. Weird stuff! LOL Ashalea is trying to talk to Merlin, but he wants to sleep. Poor Ashalea. Silence again. Ashalea is facing Merlin, dunno if she is starring at him, or if she is trying to sleep. Igor suddenly says their are carrots in the fridge. I dunno, but they are all laughing, but it’s not really that funny to me. Ohhh I get it now. They were talking about a 4 carot diamond ring. Not carrots as in eatable items. Thats why there were laughing. Aphro tells Igor to stop kicking her bed. Mike cuts in and says stop calling, but quickly back to the action. Aphro complains about so many lights being on. She then says that BB gave them a quick look at the house, but then ordered them to live outside, because they needed to finish it off. She misses the house. Igor misses his mattress. He’s going to root it when he gets home. He is a strange strange guy everyone. Music comes back on, and they have a winner on the line, and it’s Vanessa. She sounds half asleep. She gets ready to correctly answer the question, but a promo jumps onto the screen, and we have a comm break. Awesome start to Up Late people LOL. Cut to an ad in the middle of a conversation.

Back with Mike, who apologises for the inconvience. Someone feel on the wrong button. Back to Vanessa anyway. He asks her what she’s wearing. It must be really intersting in the house! She gets it right anyway. She gave up smoking today as well. Her fave housemate is Ryan too. Anyway, trivia #3 gets underway. Back to the house, Igor still talking away. Talking to Aphro again. Igor asks for BB to turn the lights off again. Aphro’s feet are finally cold. Ryan is sitting up in his sleeping bag. Paul ajusts his bed and then lies back down. Kane is asleep and has his teddy bear with him. Ryan lies down again. Igor wakes Wesley up cause he needs something for his eyes. Am eye mask actually. Aphro wants Igor to cover him back up again. Aphro says that after today they are no longer friends (talking to Igor.) She says don’t wake up tomorrow and say “Morning Gorgeous!’. Mike cuts back in. Runs though the trivia again, then cuts to a comm break.

Back again with Mike, who has audio probs for a second, but now it’s all good again. Another email now to read out now. Another person wanting to send a cheerio to someone again. Heaps more shout outs now. He then says it’s time for the 4th brainteaser, alas it’s not, it’s the third one. He corrects himself soon enough. Clue given again, and away we go back to the house for another few minutes. Silence. Utter silence. It’s beautiful. Back with Mikey again cause it’s so boring. Lasted just after an hour tonight. Not too bad for a start. After a bit of talk, it’s back to the house for us, and Ryan is up walking around I think. Although the cam’s aren’t on him. Now he’s back in bed. Geez it’s exciting! Paul is awake too and they notice that Merlin and Ashalea are talking down the end. Ryan starts picking his nose. Back with Mikey in the studio now. He has more emails to read. Someone saying to fix the internet feeds. hehe. Now, onto the trivia, Amaul is on the phone. That’s not how to spell it, but I’m not worried at the moment! She wins the $1000. Quickly cuts away from that to a comm break.

Back again at 1am or so. He goes through the final brainteaser of the night, and then he gets out his computer and shows us the OS. He’s on the front page of the site, so he plugs his own article, tells us that the streaming is free this year, then tries to click an underpants photo, but they didn’t login, so they can’t access the article. Funny stuff! Now they are totally stuffed, got errors coming up galore. Trevor and Ryan seem to be the most popular at the moment. Go Trev! Anyway, off to the house again. All you can hear are the insects buzzing away outside. Everyone is in their beds, either asleep, or trying to get to sleep. No one is whispering at all. Back with Mike after a few more minutes. He’s going to show clips from the 7pm show again. It’s the same as just an hour ago in this very same show. Hmmmmm….what happened to going to vision from earlier in the evening and acting as if it was live! There was one funny bit in the clip package though when Ryan said that he wanted to go after this girl once she got out of the toilet, so he waits by the door, and then when she appears all he can think to say is “How did you go?” LOL that is gold stuff! Mike tells us that they are saving the nudie bits for Uncut, but in the future weeks they will show nudity if it appears. (They blurred it out during the clip package.) More email shoutouts now. Cut to a comm break.

Back again, and there is still half an hour to go in this show. Woohoo, i’m excited. Anyway, back to emails. Or sleepmails as they are going to call them from now. Mike reckons the show is going along ‘really crap’ tonight. Mike moves on, to goes through the trivia and gives us a clue to keep us in suspense. The answer is Kane. Now time for another update. Yep, it’s the second time they’ve shown this clip too in the space of 90 minutes. Back with Mike again, who just tells us to tune into all the shows. More emails though now. LOL, these emails are funny. They are praising Mike, and he has to read them. He says he’ll be replying individually to the good one! Game 4 is now closed, so no more cash on offer. They will give the $1000 away after the break.

Maybe this will be the last segment? You can only wish! Nah, nothing agaist the show, but I had forgotten how boring it is when everyone is asleep. Oh well. However, Mike joins us again and we have a quick look at the housemates sleeping away. Back to more emails again. They move onto the final winner for the night, who is Adam. Adam correctly answers the question. Wow, they have turned off some lights for the housemates. Adam thinks Ryan will win too. End of the phone call, and so they decide to run another uplate update for those that missed the 7pm show. Again, it’s the 2nd time they have run it. Back to Mike after that. Again gives a plug for the 7pm show tomorrow, because it’s going to be in Mike’s words, a ‘ripsnorter.’ Mike says his goodbye’s now, but then decides he’ll read a few emails before he heads off. Just more shoutouts really, nothing exciting at all. BB Uncut show will be on Wednesday’s he says before they run end credits (wow they have end credits), and Dreamworld says goodnight.

Where’s Warren,
Dave!

Day 84

10:49am – Regina has spent the morning in the spa by herself, and enters the bedroom to greet Dan and Chrissie who have just woken up. She comments it’s very windy outside today. She is very excited and squeals – “it’s only one day to go!”. Chrissie comments “one more sleep!”.

1:56pm – Big Brother has instructed the housemates to give the house a spring clean. Dan will have his soup lunch first, and they will all clean together. Later while they are cleaning, Regina wonders what she will do tomorrow now because that was the day she had scheduled herself to do all the cleaning.

7:33pm – Housemates have been given takeaway dinner as a reward for cleaning the house. Over the dinner table, they talk about what they will do first when they leave the house.

Chrissie says she will grab a coffee, take it to the newsagent, and buy magazines. Go home and read them and play with Joseph (her cat). He plays with the pages sometimes as she turns them.

Regina will wake up at half past four to go to the shop… “I can just see it all happening”. Chrissie asks if thats what she wants to do. Regina says she will do it for a little while then visit Nan. Have a hot bath, just sit in the hot bath and listen to music.

Dan will try to catch up with his friend, do some shopping – buy some stuff to see what thats like again. Check if he has still got work and if he can get back into that.

Chrissie will need to check up if she has a job left too. On the other hand Regina says she won’t be any different to friends and family. “It will still be the same”. She doesn’t sound too enthusiastic.

Daniel jokes he will become a “popstar asshole” and hate everybody. Regina wonders if some one did that in the past. She hopes she can go back but not go back to the way she was before coming into the house.. being miserable and cranky. She doesn’t want to be like that at all. “I’m just wondering how longs it going to take before it just… goes like that”. Chrissie will find it hard to be along for a long time.

11:01pm – Housemates are now lying on their beds. Regina comments this time tomorrow night she will be so busy. Chrissie can see it clear as day… two chicks on the round lounge on the final night.

Chrissie and Regina together: It’s not going to happen, though.

Day 83 Uplate

We join Up Late in the bedroom, the light on, Chrissie reading and Reggie asleep. Danile isn’t there. Mike comes on, and has an audience! He says he had a spa with Imogen tonight on “The Insider”. Anyway, he tells us Dan is in the kitchen, but he says that the housemates had fun with a new playstation 2 game earlier. We’ll see footage again tonight. It’s his last night of Up Late they’ll again give away $3000. Anyway, we go back to the footage, where Chrissie is still reading, Reggie is still asleep and Dan is still doing something.

Oooh, we have a women saying “Up Late Replay” in a sexy voice. Nice addition! Dan is trying to get this new game setup. He is having trouble getting the picture, then flicks it too AV2 and hey presto, they are away. But it’s in a totally different language. They are laughing at this dood going through the features of the new “I-Toy”, when Dan gets called to the diary room. Dan emerges, and says they have to restart it and interact with it to get it to talk in English. Dan restarts it, then Reggie is amazed that you select English by waving your hand to the camera, which sits on top of the TV. It’s all very exciting! They finally get it going, and this dude goes through the features of the IToy in English this time, and yesm they keep laughing at him again. While it is a guy talking, it is actually an old grannie showing what you have to do. Chrissie exclaims at one stage, when the woman is waving there arms around “She’s acting like Patrick!”

There is an image of a person on the screen, and Dan must stand so his body in inside the image. Then when they press start, a soccer ball comes down, and they then adjust the camera again, before the soccer game commences! When Dan moves his head to keep the soccer ball ‘afloat’, Chrissie yells “NO!” They are amazed at how cool this game is. As well as keeping the ball up, they also have to hit little demon thingys on the left and right, some taking away points and then some giving them points and a second ball. I think Dan got 3008 first time round. Reggie’s turn now! It looks so funny not watching it through the television, cause she is just bobbing her head at nothing. Anyway, Reggie is away, and they realise you get three balls, but also a time limit. Hehe, someone just deflated the ball making it smaller! Reggie got 16,000. Chrissie wants to see what other games there are, but Reg and Dan insist that she has to try it first. They can’t believe how good this software is. Chrissie finishes her go, and they restart it to find a different game. The girls haven’t seen anything like this before ever, they are amazed. Mike pauses the action, and freezes it, then fast forwards it, before telling us that the overnight game is over!

Anyway, back to the earlier footage, and it’s boxing this time. hehe, it’s funny. Dan is punching away in thin air. Dan starts putting the rude finger up at his computer opponent, which is very funny. Dan is finished with 27,000 points. Reggie’s turn now, and she laughs her way through it. We leave the footage there, and Mike is back with the last overnight quiz, and introduces Leon, his studio audience. He then goes through where all the ex housemates will be in various states on Sunday night. Sharon is on the line, and she answers the overnight quiz, but Mike says it’s wrong and moves to the next caller, but then says “Nah, it’s right!!” Sharon thinks Chrissie will be evicted this weekend, and then wants Dan to win. Alright, we move back to the live footage of the house. Chrissie is still reading, Reggie is asleep and Dan is also. Comm break.

Mike is back with the brainteaser, doing his usual speel for the $1000. He goes through some of the other prizes you can win if you don’t get the grand. He also says they will giveaway signed T-Shirts from BB evictees. Anyway, back to live footage for a sec now, nothing happening, so away we go to the “Up Late Replay.” Reggie is still playing and has knocked out the other boxer! She has 66,000 points! She has a high score, so her photo is taken. Chrissie’s turn now! She got 63,000 points. She says “That was cool fun!” Reggie goes and gets some drinks, while Dan trys to figure out whether there is another game to play.

Mike interrupts saying that the competition has been stuffed, so don’t call for a bit while they work it out. Now, Dan has changed discs and is about to start a new game. He has a different disc in but the boxing one stil starts playing. Dan starts playing again, as we cut to a comm break.

Mike comes back and says they are all looking for jobs! But it’s exciting cause there is only three people left in the house. He explains that the comp is still stuffed, they will try to sort it out sortly. He goes onto read out the eviction phone numbers. He then tells us that Dan has a sore tummy, so they will cross to the footage of that. He is sitting on his bed, rubbing his tummy. Before long, he is off to the toilet or bathroom, and we focus on Chrissie asleep. But now, back to the earlier footage again. This is a fair bit later I would think, cause they are back to the soccer game. They seem to know a far bit about it. After a false start she is off. They have the text in Dutch this time around. She gets 36,000 points, as we cut to another comm break.

Mike is back. Still the brain teaser thing is stuffed. They are still trying to fix the problem. He goes through a few people at the forums to say hello too. He goes through the logo’s for the Nokia phones next. OK, back to live footage before we go back to earlier more exciting stuff. Dan is at least back in bed, trying to get comfortable now I think. Back to earlier now though, and it’s Dan’s turn with the soccer game. Reg comes in and says it’s Raining. Dan gets 66,000 , a new top score, so he gets his photo taken. Dan dares someone to beat that score. Reg will take up the challenge. Halfway through her turn, comm break.

20 past 2 now, and Mike is back again. Brain teaser is still stuffed. He goes through the popularity polls. Now, back to the house we travel. Live footage shows everyone in bed still, Dan looking as if he may have fallen asleep. Back to earlier, Chrissie and Dan are sitting on the couch talking about how good soup is. Reggie knocks the dude out, but only has 47,000 points. They are talking about how they could get jobs with BB next year as advisors, then Reggie puts on her BB voice, hoping for a voiceover job. Chrissie has a go at the boxing one. She says she would love one of these at home. Reggie says “He’s weak as!” referring to Chrissie’s opponent. She got 40,000 but wants to go again, in the correct position. Dan says he can imagine people playing it at home, and their mother walking into the screen and ruining it for the kids! Chrissie is away though again in the boxing game. Mike comes back on in the bottom of the screen only for a second, telling Chrissie to have a go! Comm break soon after.

Mike’s back! He reminds us that it is the last up late, and thanks everyone for watching Up Late. He says hello to all the crew here at BB. The brain teasers look as if it’s dead, sorry! No more cash just yet. Back to live footage, where everyone is still asleep, so very quickly we go to earlier footage. It’s Dan turn fighting, and he has knocked out the dude. He got 53,000 points. He has another go! The girls cheer Dan on. Dan changes midway through, and instead of punching, start slapping. He gets 50,000 points this time. Chrissie is next saying she wants to slap him! She starts slapping away, doing quite well. Reggie is laughing heaps watching on. She got 48,100 for slapping. She says that was so funny. Reggie’s turn, she wants the top score. She gets 85,000!!!! New top score, very excited they all are. Comm break.

Mike is back again, still no luck with the brain teasers. No more money ever again! Back to the earlier footage we travel, and Reggie has just got 93,000 points! Anyway, she is away again. She wants to get him knocked out in round one. Almost! Chrissie asks if Adrian would like this. Reg thinks so. She knocks him out with 97,000 points. She farts at the same time! Group hug! It looks so good :)

Back to live footage we go now, not quite sure why, but we do. Everyone is still asleep. After 3 minutes, back to earlier footage. The game is gone. They are so excited, and Chrissie says it’s so much better than sitting with a console, that game. She wonders how many games they could make like that. Chrissie says she wants to see what it looks like in the ghost house. I think they are talking about the square house, but not quite sure. Maybe a ride at Dreamworld. Chrissie says she gets scared even at lame ghost rides. They start talking of a movie, before BB returns us to live footage one last time for Up Late. Darkness all round, and finally, at 3am, Dreamworld doesn’t say goodnight! LOL, just a comm break.

Ah god!!! Mike isn’t there, but like 7 people are. Mike sits back down on his chair, and talks about how good these people are. Special mentions to Leon and Si. He hopes they will be back for BB4. Thanks to loads of people, and then they say that Up Late is not finished, so back we go. Bye Mike though! Great work :) Back to earlier footage, they are talking about being tied up while having sex I think. They move back to talking about the game, and Dan says “I wonder what else could you do with that style and interraction.” Reggie is laughing her head off thinking he is still talking about sex. They are back thinking of new games they could do in that style. Reggie is still laughing and can’t breathe! She finally comes good. We cross back to the live house for the final up late time, and at 3:08am, Dreamworld says goodnight.

Keep Looking for Warren,
Dave

Day 83

10:28am – Chrissie is at the kitchen table. She says it is so exciting. Daniel jokes: “because we just hang around so much here! It’s exciting to think that stuff can happen”. Chrissie and Dan smile at each other.

Chrissie: You could win it… I’m not going to win it. It’s cool that I won’t, I just can’t believe it that I’ll be there when you and Reg… I wanted you or Reggie to win it. I said that months ago. I’m so glad, so happy how it’s worked out. The two people I wanted to win it have a big chance and I’m here to watch it all.

Daniel: And if they don’t win it you will.

Chrissie: That won’t happen.

Regina is soaking up some sun on the deck while Chrissie and Daniel continue their conversation. Chrissie comments its great there will be a girl at the end of it. Dan says there will be at least one girl… maybe even two. Daniel has always thought that girls can’t win Big Brother so Chrissie comments he must be feeling quite confident. Daniel doesn’t though: he thinks that Regina has a big following and is just so appealing to people. “She’s so bright and cheery”. Chrissie doesn’t know how people will be able to choose between Regina and Daniel. Daniel meanwhile is interested in how well his votes tally up considering he’s survived so nominations.

Chrissie soon joins Regina and tells her that Daniel doesn’t think a girl can win Big Brother, which causes Regina to crack up laughing. They both agree they will give him a run for his money. Chrissie has seen Daniel has been very relaxed while the others were freaking out. Regina comments that “we’ll show you something Dan the man… put him back in his place, put him back in his box”.

1:24pm – The girls wonder what they can cook to pass the time. They propose scones with whatever ingredients are left in the kitchen. Regina jumps up and says she will give it a go.

2:11pm – The scones are coming out of the oven. Chrissie can’t believe Regina actually made them – “you’re such a little ripper. You’re a superstar Regina!”.

Chrissie: You’re a legend. You’re a Regend.

Daniel: If only Australia could taste them, then you’d win for sure.

The housemates eat their scones in silence.

4:27pm – Chrissie is still excited about the final evictions. “It is so me this Sunday. I just can’t stop seeing my sister’s face”.

Chrissie: It’s time to go… Chrissie

Regina acts out her shocked eviction face. However she reckons Chrissie is wrong about her self-eviction prediction. Regina refuses to believe Chrissie despite what Chrissie says. Regina is more concerned about Chrissie and Daniel being split up – she can’t picture it happening. Chrissie reassures her it would only be for a few days but after the show finishes it’s going to happen anyway. Regina says there aren’t enough people in Tassie to vote for her. Chrissie scoffs, and says it’s not just people in Tasmania voting.

Chrissie imagines if they get out and two people from the house have formed a couple.

Regina: Yeah you and Dan… is that what you meant?

Chrissie: No! Are you joking? Do you think I have the hots for Dan? Oh my god!

Regina laughs and Chrissie clarifies: people who are already outside the house. Regina thought she meant if she was evicted and left the Chrissie-Daniel couple in the house. Then they go through odd couple combinations: Patrick and Claire, Patrick and Leah.

Chrissie: That would almost be against the law, wouldn’t it?

Chrissie laughs again about her and Dan.

5:57pm – Big Brother annouces the store room is open. The girls think there is nothing in there, but Daniel checks anyway. Inside he finds snacks and drinks. At first he doesn’t show them the basket, but when the girls eventually see it Chrissie says “oh get out!” and Regina screams “oohhh what! No way!”.

7:14pm – Big Brother has provided the housemates with a camera video game. After some setting up, Chrissie is first. Regina can’t believe how the game works. The first game involves Chrissie bouncing a soccer ball on her head. Everyone is amazed at how the game works.

8:32pm – Regina is playing a boxing game and is knocking out her opponent. She giggles along. She knocks out the opponent and jumps for joy. It’s a new high score so she must pose and the game takes her photo.

9:45pm – Daniel is now playing the boxing game. He takes a different approach by slapping his opponent. He pulls a scary face while the others laugh on.

10:16pm – The group pose while the game takes their photo. Afterwards, Regina says it was great…

Regina: That was it, thats it, our last Friday night.

Chrissie: Don’t get all lumpy in the throat Gina, you’re going to kill me with all that stuff.
