Day 62

8:13am – Regina is up to find the expresso machine is missing from the kitchen. Patrick is getting out of bed to hear Big Brother announce that the task is over and the hot water is now on. Chrissie gasps. Vincent says “thankyou god!”, Chrissie realises they can now have coffee and gets very excited “thank jesus!”. Vincent runs into the bedroom to his usual bed while Jamie welcomes “the poor” back. Vincent is happy until he learns the expresso machine is gone, and then groans “ooh Big Brotherrr” so he settles for a hot shower instead.

Chrissie and Patrick however are more interested in having some (instant) coffee. Patrick announces he will go and have his coffee alone, so no one disturb him for the next 10 minutes. Later, Chrissie tells Regina she couldn’t deal with the tension of the task – everyone is happy now that the task is over. Regina notes it was interesting to see different sides of people emerge. Chrissie especially was interested that Vincent’s reaction was “they’re better than us”. They discuss his apparent superiority complex.

Meanwhile Vincent is telling Jamie that the task didn’t bother him at all, but he took the opportunity to watch different people’s reactions. Jamie was trying not to make it feel like there was a divide. Vincent says he felt segregation, badly. However Jamie says he didn’t mix so much because he felt like he was rubbing it in their faces. In a different group, discussion turns to the coffee grinding incident and Chrissie explains Regina got annoyed that it was taking so long.

In the kitchen Jamie relays his conversation with Vincent to Regina. They both agree Vincent acted different during the task and then flat out denies it.

1:19pm – Housemates must sort and count hundreds (possibly thousands) of M&Ms without eating any of them, while Big Brother is doing work on the bedrooms. They have layered the chocolates out on the kitchen table and get to work. They assign themselves a colour.

1:43pm – The counting continues. The housemates must also find 6 of the peanut M&Ms as “treasure” and count them separately. Vincent finds one and displays it to everyone else.

Later, Chrissie says it will be amazing when there are only 5 chocolates left in the middle to count.

2:50pm – Counting continues. Regina tells the others “nearly there, chin up”.

3:00pm – BB announces the bedrooms are open. The have nots are moving their things back into the main bedroom, and find BB has added their mattresses and clean towels. Jamie is left alone to count M&Ms in the kitchen. He says to himself he can’t be bothered anymore, and starts cursing the brown M&Ms (his assigned colour).

4:10pm – The counting continues. Patrick is down to the very last red M&Ms.

4:36pm – Vincent reports they have 20 933 M&Ms. They have used some of the M&Ms to devise an abacus which aids in the counting.

4:51pm – Housemates are gathered in the diary room to learn the results of the task. BB says they have been successful in finding the peanut M&Ms, and the prize for that part is they can keep the M&Ms. They all gasp and get excited, especially Regina. BB asks for the total, which is now 20 936. Patrick has a box with the correct number in the box. It is 20 510. They all wonder how they were out by 400. BB announces they have obviously failed the mini task. The HMs thanks Big Brother for the M&Ms anyway.

Later in the night, Daniel is working on his personal dilemma task – to perform and write a song with Patrick. It’s only an hour until their performance so they are rehearsing.

Day 62 Uplate

We join the house just before midnight, with them all in the kitchen, or that we gather, because the cameraÂ’s arenÂ’t inside the house, due to them signing away together. Mike comes on, tells us Dan has completed his personal dilemma challenge, and we are sent back to the backyard, looking as, because they just continue to sing. A annoying ticking time sound can be heard, a bit like a sprinkler or something. Jamie comes over to the house, so they follow him, he is signing away by himself.

Mike cuts in and tells us that he will speak to Todd from BB1, but meanwhile we go back to the house, where Regina is found in the bedroom and Jamie asks her about a Red Hot Chilli Peppers song, but Reggie doesnÂ’t know. Reggie says she is not far away from hitting the sacks. Jamie returns back over to the kitchen. Reggie wanders around the house for a few minutes before she too heads back to the kitchen. We are left outside, but can hear them yelling away.

Mike again cuts away, and introduces Todd, who is writing a book or something titled “How to get woman into bed using vegetarian food.” It’s basically a whole lot of recipes that he has learnt from his life, and the stories that go along with it. He is still together with his girlfriend, and says that Jemma and Grant are still together. He still sees Jemma because he lives round the corner from her, and also see’s Gordon occasionally. Apart from that he doesn’t speak to the others too much. After Todd asks, Mike says he is having fun because he has a TV show now, but he has a bit of fame now, because people in the toilet say “You’re the BB dude!” Todd says he is working on his music career solo nowadays, then tells us that BBB actually rang to wish him a Merry Christmas last year. Todd does a bit of radio on a community radio station on a Thursday morning. Todd likes BB3 a lot! He says it’s the most exciting series so far. Meanwhile, we have footage of the kitchen, and they have stopped singing. Todd didn’t think that Saxon would be evicted last week; he was surprised by the result. He loves Reggie the most however, and also likes Dan a lot too. Todd thought Ben was a bit out there. He thinks Chrissie is the caring mum of the group, while he thinks Vincent is certainly the head of the house. Hurry up and finish!!! Todd thinks these people would get along with his people better than the people of BB1. He says that BB is a lot harder on nominations than when he was on BB, which is better. He says being nominated, he didn’t take it to hard, but was sad to leave the house. He says he enjoys Dan’s playing the game while nominating. He thought Ben from BB1 was playing the game. This conversation has also gone on for 20 minutes, it finally ends though, when they cut to a comm break.

Back from the break, Mike runs through the first brain teaser of the night. Hard one tonight, I have no idea. I’ll wait for the clue. Back to the house finally, where Regina is brushing her teeth in the bathroom. Well the foyer of the bathroom, to be precise. She hums away to herself while doing her teeth, then applies some cream to her face. Then she says “I need to floss my teeth, bloody hell!” She seems to enjoy talking to herself. Chrissie enters the room though now. Jamie is there now too, saying he is too tired to stand. They make mention that it might be his last party night inside. Reggie and Jamie then burst into song. He has a cut in his pants right up his bottom, lovely. Jamie says they haven’t taken away the TV, so perhaps they’ll get a DVD tomorrow night. Reggie is so full, again touching her stomach. They had a good sing-a-long they say. Reggie says she isn’t even tipsy, but Jamie says he got a bit drunk. Reggie says she needs a whole bottle of scotch. They again start singing.

Over in the kitchen, Chrissie is back there, Vincent and Patrick there too, perhaps Dan as well, and Pat asks if Reggie is going to sleep, as Ch10 cut to a break. It’s 12:45am when we return, as Mike runs through the brain teaser again, this time giving a clue. The word is Hoarse. He plugs the OS forums, before we return to the house. Reggie and Jamie are talking in the bedroom. They are talking about teeth, Jamie saying he uses everything with “Whitening” on it, including toothpaste and chewing gum. Reggie doesn’t like her teeth at all, and we get a close up of her teeth, when she is explaining something about one tooth in particular, which does look a bit funny. Reggie says that you can’t see Pat’s teeth when he talks. Everyone else you can see the teeth when people talk. They make special mention of Dan, then move onto Vincent, where they say he doesn’t really talk much anyway. Jamie says if he knew that there was hot water to return too, he would have a spa. He says he wish Jo was here to have a spa with him. Reggie can’t believe it’s nearly eviction time again. Jamie says he might get ready for bed. They start laughing but I have no idea why. Don’t know if they know either! She is laughing about something he did with his teeth. She is laughing heaps, and can’t stop now. He does something to see if he has anything between his teeth. Reggie says it’s so funny, it cracks her up. It’s simply breathing or sucking in all the air. Comm break.

Back again with Mike, who has Kath on the line to win the money. She says she is a bit hoarse, giving away the answer before the teaser is up. She does win the money though. She loves the show, calling 12 times tonight to win the cash. She reckons she will only just pay her phone bill with the money, but she says its all good. We go through the second game, before returning to Kath, who used to own a restaurant. She gives Armidale a plug, saying itÂ’s a great town. Mike wraps it up, and we return to the house. Again we are sent to Reggie and Jamie, with Jamie telling a story. She says that he was talking to a guy who, but he could see down his jeans, and he had a g string on. They move onto talking about Troy Dann, the outback adventure dude. Jamie canÂ’t stand him, and while they beep out TroyÂ’s surname we still know who it is. Jamie asks BB to turn out the lights, but Reggie doesnÂ’t think they will turn them off until everyone comes in.

They hear a squeal from Chrissie, and they see them all come over to the bedroom. Well, Dan anyway. He does a little Jacko impersonation. He does the moonwalk, but itÂ’s hard on the floorboards. Jamie says he is so talented. Reggie just laughs. Dan goes to the toilet, and silence fills into the room. Reggie then says that she has to sit up, she just canÂ’t lie down with her bloated stomach. However, each of them now lay down in their respective beds. They comment that the new sheets are already dirty. Jamie is ready to go to sleep, with his eyes shut, but Reggie keeps talking. Comm break.

ItÂ’s Mike again, or as we like to call him, Trivia dude! The second teaser is REHEAT. Easy that one. He goes through what happens with the trivia comp, then we cross back to the house. Still in the bedroom, PAUL IS BACK!!! Dan is talking to Paul, and no one else is paying attention. They cut away from that! How dare they! Chrissie, Vincent and Pat are outside. Chrissie says she is going into wash her face and stuff. The boys continue playing kick to kick. Vincent got a little excited then, because he thought he heard someone try to communicate with them. Pat is trying to get the footy into the red chair on the other side of the backyard. Mike cuts in and goes through the eviction phone numbers. Back with the boys, Vincent has lost something. A ring perhaps. They are looking for it, as Vincent keeps swearing. No luck yet, as Mike comes back on and tells us exactly what IÂ’m sure everyone suspected. He doesnÂ’t know when he lost it, making it harder. He will look through the grass before moving into the kitchen. Patrick looks like he might have something, but we are left disappointed, when he stands up straight again. Vincent goes for a quick look in the kitchen. He is going through the dishes on the sink. Cut to Pat still outside looking for it. Get the cameraÂ’s looking as well I say! Vincent asks BB to open the storeroom for him please. Damn you Channel 10, they cut to a break just as itÂ’s getting exciting.

Mike comes on again, says they have given away $70,000 since beginning Up Late. They go through the brain teaser, give the clue again, then goes through the new BB Online store, which has just opened or something. Back to the witch-hunt for VincentÂ’s ring. Dan has joined them, but suggests that looking in the daylight will help. Pat looks as if he has given up. Vincent is the only one walking round and searching. He heads back into the kitchen and starts his search there again. Again, he looks through the sink on his way round the bench. Back outside, Dan says that it will be easier to find tomorrow. They are searching through the grass again. Vincent says he doesnÂ’t want to lose it, it means a lot to him. Pat comes back out, and Vincent says there is no luck. Pat goes to the kitchen to get a glass of water. He says he will have a good look tomorrow, because it will be easier during the day. Pat heads inside, and Vincent too looks like he has given up. Vincent is looking over at the old square storeroom door or something, for some unknown reason. Comm break again.

Just reading the BBBA site during the break, where it is rumoured that Anouska and Tania from UKBB will be joining the Australian house on Thursday on a special titled “BB: Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner.” Very interesting news indeed. Anyway, brain teaser time, Jill winning the $1000 for REHEAT. She says she will get a dishwasher with the money. She says hello to a few people, then suggests that Vincent will go come Sunday. Cut to Vincent in the house, who is brushing his teeth. They finish the conversation, then he gives shoutouts to a few members of the OS forum. He goes through some of the OS competitions, before saying goodnight to us all. Have a good weekend Mike! Back to the house, Chrissie is back in her bed, Chrissie’s corner. She thanks BB, saying sleeping in that bed is like heaven on a stick. Dan starts singing a bit. Pat has moved down the end towards Reggie’s bed it looks like. Reggie on the far end, Pat next to her, then I think the double which Dan and Vincent will share, then Jamie and Chrissie. Chrissie says “imagine if they put us in the storeroom again.” She says the storeroom felt like a staffroom for her though. Oops, I think there is 6 beds in there now, I can’t tell. Dan says that they are ready for BB to switch off the main lights. Vincent is back in here, and says that BB saw him with it on in the kitchen. It’s a good point, BB can just watch the footage and in a way find it for him. Chrissie meanwhile says she doesn’t know if she has it in her to go through Sunday and Monday again. She liked Monday this week because BB only gave them 10 minutes notice. Dan has Paul back on. He has already been introduced to Chrissie it seems. Oh, how cute is the little fella. Chrissie again says she is so glad to be back in the room. We can see a glass full of M&M’s in-between one of the beds. Comm break time now though.

Into the final segment now, where Paul is making Chrissie laugh heaps. She can’t stop laughing. Dan has it waving down to the other part of the room, and Chrissie just can’t help but laugh. Reggie is enjoying it too, sitting up in her bed. Jamie looks like he might be asleep, along with Pat. Lights go out now, and Jamie gives a “Thankyou BB” into his mic. Chrissie says goodnight to Pat softly. Vincent returns with no luck still, saying he will have to look in the morning. Chrissie starts calling out for Paul. Dan puts Paul to bed, as Vincent gets changed ready to jump into bed. I’m sure Vincent, Patrick and Chrissie will all appreciate the comfort of the bedroom tonight. Vincent is folding his clothes up and puts them back in his drawer. Dan still looks like he is in the mood to joke around a bit. Vincent takes his jeans off, folds them up, and jumps into bed. Dan has also looked like he has pulled up the covers ready to try to go to sleep. Vincent says goodnight to all. Reggie is the only one still sitting up in her bed. Vincent says “This is so good!!!” Chrissie laughs. Silence falls over the bedroom, as it looks like Reggie is going to try to get to sleep sitting up. Dan gets his mic, and tells BB they are ready for the bathroom lights to go out. At 2:01am, Dreamworld says goodnight for another week. See you all back, same time, same place, next week.

Keep Looking for Warren,
Dave

Day 61 Uplate

Another night of boredom most likely tonight, most if not all housemates already in bed. Just after 10 the “Have Not’s” were sent to their quarters, Reggie was in bed early, but talking to Dan and Jamie 20 minutes ago when I checked the feeds. Let’s see if they are still at.

Into the house we go, and we are directed to the round bedroom, Dan is whispering to someone, but the camera is too far away. Mike comes on and tells Dan to speak up. He says he has $2000 and that the Have Not’s made some very spicy curry, and Reggie isn’t feeling the best, and thus, has nodded off to sleep. It’s Dan and Jamie chatting away. Back to them, Dan seeming to do most of the talking. Jamie is saying something is NQR (Not Quite Right), but I think it’s in the context of a story he is telling. They seem to be almost talking over the top of each other, making it impossible to make anything of the conversation. I can make out Dan saying “You have to dress up in a mannequin. They seem to have moved onto talking about filming techniques. Actually, perhaps the whole conversation is about a movie, or movies in general. Dan says “Hang on…Shhhh”, then continues talking! What the?! Dan mentioning DVD’s or something, I *think* they might be talking about Dan wanting to make a movie, and how he would go about it.

Mike cuts back in, says a few things, before we go back to try to figure out what they are talking about. I just can’t, I’m sorry! We get a comm break, but we’ve been going a good 25 minutes already, it’s just I can’t make out any of the conversation.

Brain teaser time anyway, back with Mikey Mike! It’s DENIAL. Easy as that. Pity I post it after the show has finished. Mike tells Daniel has gone for a toilet break, so Mike talks about a OS competition. Daniel is back however, so we head there. Dan and Jamie are saying they want a party, and everything back to the way it was, everyone all together. They discuss whether they are allowed to go and get food, seeing that the servents are asleep. They plan to grab Pringles and Chocolate from the kitchen, so the servents don’t have to see it in the morning. They notice the mist coming off the pool as they go over there. They see the fire, and say they need Saxon back to really get it going. They grab Pringles and heaps of Chocolate, arguing over whether it was 48grams or 200 grams listed on the shopping list. They have been given a 48gram pack, but they swear it was 200 on the shopping list. Jamie suggests a midnight snack, but Dan says he has done his teeth and it won’t taste any good. Jamie says he wants to snack now purely because he feels bad during the day asking for stuff. Dan is having a closer look at the fire. They head back to their bedroom, as we go to a comm break.

Omg, I got the trivia wrong. It wasn’t Denial, it was Daniel. Close though I thought! Mike says he has a brother who he has never met in the WA. No idea why he said that! He says that he has been surfing the net, seen a few sites, but doesn’t mention any of them, before going onto reading out some words from the OS forums.

Back to the house however now. Jamie says if he is evicted come Sunday night, he hopes there will be some people from his fraternity out and about in the Gold Coast area. No idea what this guy is on about, don’t really care either. I don’t like him!!! Oooh, a few beeps now. Something about a wet dream. After a while, we get another comm break.

Seeing I haven’t called him this in a while, “Trivia Dude” comes back and introduces Greg from Newcastle i think. He wins the money, $1000, and says he will spend the money on buying equipment to listen to the police and fire scanner. Oh god, BORING!!!! Game 2 commences after a bit of a chat, then back to the house.

Jamie says he would love to be involved in BB Behind the scenes, then says they all look like green in the dark. They say it’s bright now, they are looking at something on the ceiling, perhaps a tiny light or something. Comm break after more whispering.

Back with the clue for the second teaser, which I needed to get the word, Wonder. He talks about the logo’s you can get for your mobile. He shows his phone which has Kim’s eyes. Back to the house though now, they are still whispering. Dan saying he doesn’t know how much he is getting shown on the outside. Jamie says that BB can’t pick up every expression that the housemates give. Jamie says sometimes it’s better to just go along and agree with others in this house without actually giving your true opinion. Seems to be a bit of bitching about the Have Nots though throughout the whole conversation. Comm break.

Back again we are, where Mike gives the clue again for the second Brain Teaser. Mike starts talking about his family over in WA, before cutting to the ad for the BB House giveaway. After that, we get to go back to the house. Dan says he has been in here for 9 weeks, and he only shaves once a week. They are talking about the blades on shavers, Jamie saying he has some of those plastic disposable ones. Dan says they must get the song finished tomorrow, or rather “he would like to”, before they both roll over and try to get into dreamland. Silence finally in the house, I thought it was never going to come! Mike comes back on and trys to wake them up, then the sirens come on, then he clarifys that the haves are allowed to go and get food by themselves if the servents are asleep. He goes through the old popularity polls, which are useless seeing it’s only just after 1am, and they are reset everyday. They cut to a funny little package showing the set of BB Up Late, Mike’s chair being a blown up exercise ball, and a person lying on the ground trying to keep it still. Ah dear, they need these comedy moments when they all go to sleep. Twas good. Back to the house, and we are looking at Vincent and Patrick, but it sounds like Chrissie snoring. No surely it couldn’t be her? Perhaps it’s Vincent as per normal. Comm break.

Quick cut to Channel Nine shows the scud about to wrap up his second round match and move through. And there it is, GS & Match. Anyway, back for the trivia, but before that he says he has found the Yo Yo, so he shows us it. Frank from Sydney has got through, and he watches the 7pm show, then sets the TV to turn back on at 11:30pm. A freak, sounds like a old bloke! He wins the money anyway. Apparently he is from the same street as the winner from the first one. It’s rigged damnit! And to make matters worse, he stubbed his toe while holding during the ad break. Poor old bloke. Anyway, onto the camera game. Camera 12 is the backyard looking into the house. Camera 23 is completely black, it doesn’t have infra red capabilities. Franks suggests that Jamie not talk to much, because he gets the feeling that he isn’t liked much, and might get the boot.

Onto the surf on the website, but it’s pretty boring as per usual. He finishes that up though now, then moves onto the eviction phone numbers. Mike says goodnight (Night Mike!), before we go back to the house for the last 20 minutes or so. Screen is on Jamie and Dan, Jamie having the doona pulled up almost over his head. Comm break.

Just like last night, we get the ad for the house giveaway competition for the second time, before entering the house in the last segment. Silence all round. We get a shot showing Chrissie sleeping on the floor. At 2:01am, Dreamworld says goodnight.

Keep Looking for Warren,
Dave

Day 61

9:11am – The havenotes have gotten up to make breakfast but Regina is up early again anyway. Chrissie welcomes Regina to the kitchen and asks what she would like for breakfast. They are both quite cheerful and Regina asks for a Cappuccino and two pieces of toast with jam peanut butter on them. Vincent comes into the kitchen to make the coffee and must grind the beans. Regina laughs as he labours with the grinding. Patrick says it will probably take ages while Vincent looks annoyed. Regina says this is fun but Vincent doesn’t think so, and tells Regina that her constant laughing makes him feel bad. Regina can’t believe this and asks him if he is for real. She goes on to say she won’t smile or even look at him just in case she’s doing something wrong.

9:26am – Vincent is still grinding those beans. The havenots are taking their time with the cappuccino.

9:39am – The housemates finished grinding the beans but apparently they didn’t think they had done it properly… so they chuck the beans and Patrick starts again grinding.

9:50am – Regina is still waiting for her coffee. She says she will just go and have a shower and drink the coffee later, even though Vincent says that it’s almost done. Vincent looks annoyed, but just laughs it off nervously.

11:25am – The havenots are called to the diary room, most likely because of the bean grinding incident. Regina, who is in the bedroom with the haves, explains what happened earlier. Jamie says “I told you” (about the task getting to them). Daniel says he doesn’t mind about the class difference.

11:45am – Daniel is saying to the haves that Patrick is different from the other havenots because he chose to be poor by whacking the tennis ball on purpose during the decider task.

1:25pm – The haves are still talking about the split in the kitchen while the havenots are outside. The havenots are saying they should be able to drink some of the cheap coffee because the haves probably aren’t even using it anyway. Jamie is telling the other haves that they should take the chocolate into the bedroom to keep it out of sight from the havenots. The havenots are trying to discuss what to make for dinner – but it turns out the haves decided to have a stir fry. Daniel is telling the haves to put any chocolate wrappers they use in the bin so the havenots don’t have to clean it up and have the wealth split emphasised.

Later Vincent is telling the havenots that people are acting differently because of this task and they shouldn’t. Chrissie is silent the entire time. Vincent explains that when people have negative behaviour is when he gets annoyed. Chrissie eventually says that maybe it’s people just acting the role. Regina comes over to talk to them but is immediately lured away, saying a spa looks good right now. The havenots of course, cannot use the spa.

6:30pm – Vincent and Patrick are cooking the stir fry for the haves when Chrissie comes into the kitchen and exclaims how good it smells. She smells it up close which causes her to salivate. Chrissie then realises whats going on and says “something’s happening” in a suspicious tone. Patrick says the haves are going to wish they had the havenot food after this meal. Chrissie goes back outside and tells the haves how good their dinner smells. Daniel says he hopes Patrick only used half the jar of curry.

7:24pm – The havenots leave the kitchen while the haves sit down to eat their stir fry. Daniel says they did a good job with the meal. The havenots then settle down outside with their meal of rice and vegetables from the garden. Regina takes a mouthful of the stir fry, and coughs, clearing her throat, saying “revenge”. She says they put the whole jar of curry in. Patrick and Vincent wave at them from outside and yell out “is it hot!?”. Chrissie says it’s obviously hot because between every bite they are taking a drink.

Jamie says the current isn’t THAT bad and the others agree in defence of the havenot vengeance attack. Suddenly they decide the meal is “perfect”…. after all it’s MEANT to taste this spicy!

8:34pm – Regina is going to bed and hugs Dan goodnight. It doesn’t look like Reg is feeling well after that excess of curry (we all know she has a delicate stomach). In the kitchen Vincent, Jamie and Chrissie are sitting at the kitchen table silent. The tension is so bad you have to look away from the television screen. Daniel walks in which makes Jamie say “I reckon more surprises are coming”. They all decide the task won’t be going until the end of season. Chrissie says if it goes for another four weeks she’s going to press the button and leave. Daniel says it was only funny for a day or two.

Big Brother announces that Chrissie, Patrick and Vincent must go to bed. Daniel tells them to go to the toilet before going to bed, because if they need to during the night, they have to wake up one of the haves and ask permission. Pat, Vincent and Chrissie brush their teeth in the sink outside, saying that this is the longest and worst task ever.

Vincent goes to the bedroom where the haves now are, knocks on the door and asks if he can use the toilet. RUDELY Daniel asks “do you absolutely need to go to the toilet?”. Vincent says “of course I do!”… so Daniel lets him go.

Day 60 Uplate

Day 60 already hey! Evening all, welcome to hopefully a more entertaining BB tonight. We join the house with Jamie getting ready for bed, Reggie and Dan actually in bed. Mike joins us, telling us he has cash, Jamie has been causing a bit of tension by loving all the stuff they get, Vincent is ready to throw the task, sick of waiting hand and foot for the others, mainly due to the new coffee machine the ‘haves’ received this morning.

Back into the house, the boys are talking about the movie they just watched, Adaptation I think, and Jamie is trying to persuade Dan to buy another DVD, but Dan is not fussed either way. He then changes his mind, saying it makes them able to talk about new things.

Cut to the storeroom, where Vincent is getting ready for bed, and the others are already in bed. BB says it’s time for them to go to bed. Lights go out as Vincent is still getting changed etc. Vincent says he forgot the toilet paper or something, and goes out to get it. Vincent has to knock to get in, Reggie yells out for him, and he asks to use the toilet. Dan tells him that the smell isn’t the best because of his thai curry. Dan makes the comment that he is using more toothpaste than normal. The TV and DVD player are still in the room. Vincent emerges, and the two discuss the song lyrics. While Dan was watching the movie, Vincent helped write a heap of lyrics. Dan makes mention now that they ‘could have been better.’ Back with Vincent in the storeroom, Chrissie says goodnight to Vincenzo, and silence emerges. Chrissie says she is freezing.

Back to the round bedroom, where the lights are still on, Dan and Jamie talking about the task, and saying that everyone is getting comfortable with it now. Dan shows Reggie is pet platypus, named Paul. He has had it for ages, assumingly came out of the non essentials the haves received. Dan says he would like to sleep in the river bank, but next to Dan will have to do tonight. Dan has made Reggie laugh with his funny Paul talk. Paul doesn’t have a partner, and has been desexed. Paul hasn’t done much in the house thus far, just sleeping. Reggie says he should be let out in the open tomorrow. Dan says he would love the spa and pool, but he’d have to be careful! Oooh god, this is classic. Reggie finally says goodnight to Paul. Paul waves goodbye, but Dan says “That’s Reggie from BB.” He says Paul likes to meet famous people. Paul says “It’s Reggie?” for confirmation. Paul burrows under the cushion to say goodnight to Reggie one last time, then Dan gives the act away.

Dan says he would like to take Paul around the world, and have Dan and Paul pics to bring home. Jamie won some doll at Bingo one night, and somehow the doll got to go round the world. Last they heard of the doll she was prostituting in London. Paul is on Jamie’s hand now, punching Jamie up. Keep going you little guy!!! No Dan asks Jamie to be more gentle, saying he is only a little guy. Jamie says he has his hand up Paul. Lovely. Jamie says goodnight to “Miss Regina”, while Dan fills his water bottle up for the night ahead. They wait for the lights to go out, and thank BB for the DVD. Paul makes mention that the lights have now gone out. Jamie says Goodnight to all. Jamie then says “Were you ready for lights out?” Now Jamie has his light back on. Looking for something, and then decides he will read for a while. They keep discussing the room, and how it might be different now (coloured lights or something). Paul is still on Dan’s hand, and Jamie accusses Paul of trying to steal his stuff, then calls him a pervert. Dan tells Jamie that Paul has sunbaked and everything outside the BB house, and then they whsipered some more, before comm break.

Back with Mike and his first brain teaser of the night. Lets see what the word is. It is HAVES! So easy this game. Mike sounds like he has a bit of the flu tonight. Back to the house though, to see Paul again. Jamie asks Paul to entertain him, and LOL he burrows under the bed of Dan’s, trying to escape! Dan takes Paul off, saying the light will go out soon (maybe thats a hint to Jamie to get it off!), then Dan says he (Paul) doesn’t mind if he doesn’t have his own seat on a plane. Dan says he is not scared, Paul again, because he can’t see any camera’s. If there were camera’s, he would get stagefright. They are now talking about someones character on some show, sorry I was away from the TV for a sec. Both having a great laugh though. Comm break.

Back with Mike once again, who comments about Paul being such a hit. And he really is! Perhaps Paul is substituting for Warren, because he can’t find his way to the house. Sure explain why we haven’t seen poor old Warren; remember I thought he was upstairs, but now I’m not so sure. Anyway, Mike gives the clue, and it is HAVES, before showing some consolation prizes for the brain teasers. Mike says that they will chat to Brodie a bit later on. Back in the house however, they are talking about “Freddy Got Fingered.” I haven’t seen it, so don’t have a clue what they are talking about. Talking very softly, impossible to hear. We need live captions down the bottom of the page! Now they are talking about Nicholas Cage. Jamies says that someone, bleeped twice, is such an asshole. Lots of bleeping all of a sudden. Jamie asks if he can hear music, or if it’s the air conditioning. Dan says it sounds like a ‘woman’s voice and a piano or something.’ Jamie says it can’t be, it just must be the air con. Comm break.

Back again! Chris from NSW, oh no, here comes the State of Origin rubbish again. Anyway, we get to the money, and he wins it by saying HAVES. His favourite housemates was Ben, but he has gone. Quick call tonight, must have Brodie on the line. Hmm, the second one has 6 letters, and I will need a clue to get it tonight! Back to the house we are sent, where Jamie and Dan have called it a night, and darkness, together with silence, fill out TV sets. Only an hour of boredom tonight at least. Mike rejoins us after a few minutes, saying that they are trying to get Brodie on the phone, but meanwhile, we cut to a clip of Mike recording the daily show, or a send up of it at least, where he gets mad with his producer, spits the dummy, before the camera scrolls over to show him in a shopping front window, with an audience looking on. I think you would have had to see it to understand it, but it was better than watching housemates sleep. Anyway, back to the house we venture, silence for another 3 minutes, before we get a comm break.

Brain teaser time again, well time for a clue at least, which with the help of that, I figure out it is Trance. Brodie comes onto the line (they should get Kieren on one night soon), who is doing a fair bit of charity work, and is giving a show to primary school children regarding safety issues I think. He is living in Richmond, with a mate who has a band called Star 10. They go back to the “Pick the number” game. 23 is out of action, 25 is the square verandah. 17 is looking over the pool and the backyard. Mike makes mention that Vincent and Patrick are saying they should just eat whatever they want, and again mentions the real coffee that the HM’s must serve to the Have’s. They go onto mentioning the betting odds. Brodie says he went to the Ironman titles last year or something, and he is trying to get himself fit. Brodie says he enjoyed BB2, glad he did it, because he was presented with heaps of oppourtunites since he got out of the house. Ah, he has been an extra on The Secret Life of Us, thats what they were talking about in the beginning, which I just didn’t hear. Anyway, Mike says goodnight to him, and we have a comm break.

Back again with more Brain Teaser hints, well actually, the same hint. We move onto the BB Beach House clip. Into the round beroom we go, where everyone is still asleep. Exciting stuff!!! We cross to the storeroom, everyone asleep there too. Mike comes on and shows us a clip which is meant to help in the Strepils Houseplan competiton. Anyway, back to the round bedroom after that, and then to a comm break.

Cherie from Victoria, who has 6 kids, will win the $1000 for tonight. She called 20 times, and then answers correctly, so wins the $1000. She says she might go and wake them up now! She likes Chrissie the best. Tonight’s episode of the daily show sealed Jamie’s fate for her she says. She says goodbye, and says to Mike to get well soon. Back to the house again for more silence. Vincent is snoring loudly, and Chrissie seems to be chewing with nothing in her mouth. Strange! 10 minutes later, comm break!

Back into Up Late, and straight into the BB Beach Giveaway House ad, before we return to the house proper. We get a side on view of Reggie sleeping. Movement!!! Vincent is up, hope he has to knock on the door, LOL, he does. Damn, Jamie is awake, and lets him in. Bloody great time to wake up Vincent! At 1:56am, Dreamworld says goodnight.

Keep Looking for Warren,
Dave.

Day 60

8:10am – The havenots are woken up by Big Brother with a doorbell sound. They must get up and make breakfast for the haves. Regina is already up brushing her teeth. Patrick gets up, walks to the kitchen and discovers an expresso machine left by Big Brother. There is a message left by Big Brother next to it stating that the havenots are not allowed to drink any coffee. They are only to use it if they are creating a coffee for any of the haves. Chrissie walks in and when she learns of this, starts nervously laughing in disappointment. She has tears in her eyes. Vincent approaches the kitchen when Patrick and Chrissie tell him not to come in because of the expresso machine. Patrick covers the machine but Vincent still sees it, and covers his mouth in shock. He and Chrissie go over to smell the coffee beans. Vincent growls.. but this time it’s in anger.

Daniel is showering – the haves can use the hot water whenever they want. Regina cheerily says good morning to the havenots. Chrissie shows Regina the expresso machine which excites Regina, screaming “no way”. Jamie comes into the kitchen after hearing the screaming. He can’t believe there is a coffee machine in the house.

A little later Jamie straight out asks one of the havenots to make him a coffee.. oh wait make that a cappuccino. Patrick must ground the coffee beans by hand and Vincent makes the cappuccino. After Jamie is done drinking it he says it’s a good coffee.

10:40am – Jamie is called to the diary room to be reminded of the rules for the haves/havenots task. Jamie is not allowed to make his bed and must leave it to the havenots to make. Big Brother also tells him to remind Vincent that he must knock on the bedroom door to enter it, even when the bedroom door is open. In the kitchen Daniel is talking to the others about these rules. He says Jamie left his bed un-made this week just in case. Jamie walks in and tells the others what Big Brother just told him. Vincent doesn’t look happy when Jamie passes on the message.

11:52am – Regina is talking to Jamie in the bedroom about working 60-70 hours a week in her husband’s fish and chip shop. Regina explains she normally gets 6 hours of sleep, works 14 hours and has 2 hours free time (but this includes making meals for her and her husband). Jamie says she must be near boiling point, and Regina agrees. She says she could probably go back to that life but she really doesn’t want to. Jamie says he has nothing against Adrian but Adrian should know what Regina wants after Big Brother and make some compromises. If Adrian doesn’t realise what a gem Regina is, Jamie explains, he is a fool.

2:07pm – In the kitchen Daniel is trying to accomplish his personal task. He tells the other housemates that Big Brother told him that BB wants more colour and movement in the house – like a musical. Patrick says he is not doing a musical. Daniel suggests other methods to do a music number. Regina asks if what Daniel’s suggesting is a task.

3:18pm – The havenots are trying to organise what to cook the haves for dinner. Jamie suggests creamy Cabonara pasta because he thinks it’s easy to make. The havenots don’t agree with Vincent saying it would take longer than a normal meal and lists the preparations needed. Jamie tells Vincent he’s not trying to rub it in Vincent’s face, but Vincent says he was only just answering the question. Jamie repeats himself saying he’s not having a go, but Vincent reassures him he was only just answering the question.

Jamie tells them to just not make the pasta fancy, but Vincent says you either make the pasta the way it’s meant to be or not at all. Chrissie tries to cool things down by saying that it doesn’t matter because they’re going to just eat it anyway. Patrick adds, saying that they’re terrible at cooking anyway. Jamie thanks the havenots for making him lunch and goes to socialise in the bedroom – much to the disgust of the havenots. Vincent asks why Jamie doesn’t socialise with them. Chrissie says it’s because the two of them just ‘exchanged a word’. She goes on to say that Jamie is finding the task uncomfortable. Vincent disagrees, saying Jamie is enjoying it a lot.

In the bedroom Jamie explains what just happened to the other haves, Daniel and Regina. Dan says that Jamie and Regina are torn between the two groups. However this time Regina is siding with her rich buddies and says that the pasta would be easy to make and she’s going to go tell them… leading her to laugh about it.

7:30pm – Vincent has made the creamy Cabonara pasta for the haves despite what happened earlier. He tells the haves he made extra sauce for lunch tomorrow. Daniel says that the sauce is a little runny but quickly changes his mind and decides that it’s good. The haves are full of thank yous for the havenots for making them dinner… especially Regina. As they leave, Regina and Jamie says goodbye. Vincent lets out an angry sigh. Regina and Jamie look very uncomfortable and leave in silence. Tonight the havenots are allowed to eat inside because it’s raining.

Daniel stays in the kitchen and talks to them about what happened with Jamie. Vincent says the problem is not the task it’s when people push it too far – like people laughing in his face, and the split social groups. Daniel makes excuses saying “the world is the world” and then leaves once the havenots ignore him and eat amongst themselves. Chrissie says everyone is taking the task to seriously. Vincent agrees, despite all the fuss he made over the pasta.

Later in the lounge room Vincent is wondering if there will be a reward at the end of this task. Patrick says “good things come to those who wait” even though he says himself that the phrase is never true. Regina says she’s been waiting for 11 years.
