Day 52

7:10am – Patrick and Saxon slept on the porch last night, but this morning it is one of the coldest mornings since they entered the house. The cold has forced them inside.

Later in the morning, Regina welcomes Patrick and Kim to the kitchen, who comments it’s great to see a smile in the morning. In the bedroom Saxon asks Vincent what he thinks of the upcoming eviction. Patrick things it will be an indicator of “whats going on” while Saxon adds it will be very hard on the people who have only been in the house two weeks.

Patrick lets Regina know that Saxon is worried people think there was something going on between him and Jo. Regina says it sure looked like it… Patrick agrees. They both agree that only they will know for sure… Patrick adds “and two million other people”. They giggle. Regina says obviously there was a strong attraction and if she didn’t have partners they would have got it on. Patrick jokes him and Regina should have got it on long ago. Regina asks why that hasn’t happened yet – Patrick reminds her she is married. They laugh. “The only thing is the wedding ring”.

Most of the housemates are lying in the sun, while Kim and Saxon play-box by the pool. Saxon chases after Kim with water while she screams. She holds her microphone up to try and get him to stop, but he pours it down her back. Saxon screams “musclemania”. Kim asks what “musclemania” is – and Saxon offers a demonstration. He warms himself up with some stretches, then flexes all the muscles in his chest while grunting. Kim says “he’s such a hulk!”. Chrissie comments that Girlfriend and Dolly will be waiting for him when he comes out. “Saxon, it’s even a heart-throb’s name isn’t it?”

Regina and Daniel are in the kitchen, discussing food. They hope they will pass next week’s task because they have been living on staples for the last two weeks.

2:41pm – The weekly task has been issued. Housemates must sit at the pool and fish. They must go for 2 hour, 2 person shifts without letting their fishing float touch the sides of the pool or leave the water. Daniel and Patrick are first.

3:47pm – It’s been one hour into the first shift and the boys are getting very bored. The sun has set over the Big Brother walls and the temperature is dropping. Daniel can feel the cold on his arms.

4:32pm – It’s already quite dark in the Big Brother backyard. Daniel and Patrick whistle with some birds.

5:57pm – The boys are well and truely bored, even though their shift has finished (they do not have a clock). Patrick comments it must be hard for people doing this from 4.00am. Vincent adds that there is no satisfaction in the task either because they don’t actually catch any fish. They all start singing “take a walk on the wild side”.

6:13pm – Regina and Kim are on their fishing shift. They comment they should have bet 100% on this week’s task. Jaime says it’s funny Regina is all in fishing gear, but is wearing shiny lip gloss. Back in the kitchen Patrick and Chrissie say 100% isn’t such a good idea: come 4am it will be very hard.

6:41pm – The girls are by the pool, and discuss Jo. Chrissie is fine because she didn’t spend that much time with her, however Saxon isn’t coping at all. Meanwhile Saxon is inside reading a book. Regina discusses her observations on how Saxon latched onto friends in the square house and ended up with Jo – now he doesn’t have anyone to bond with. “He’s so sensitive”. Kim says “he takes things to heart too much”. Patrick joins the girls and asks how the girls are – their bums are aching.

Chrissie goes into the house and asks Saxon how he’s going. He doesn’t know what he’s feeling he’s just going to ride it out and have fun. It’s not to do with Jo being away it’s to do with being away from his family – he is still only 19 and he’s finding it hard in the house because there is that difference in age.

Regina and Kim discuss Sunday

Regina: It’s going to be exciting

Kim: No matter what happens, I just want to say it was an honour to meet you

Regina: Bullshit

Kim: Nah

They laugh

Regina: I can’t deal with you!

Kim: Yeah it’s been an honour and I’ve just been greatful to spend this time with you. If it wasn’t for you I don’t think I would have stayed in here because I can’t relate to anyone.

Regina: That’s nice. I’m glad you came in. I’m glad there was a person like you (who) came in.

10.16pm – Shift is changing over.. one of the floats comes very close to the edge and Chrissie pulls it aside. The people on fishing shifts must wear appropriate dress. The current shift is Vincent and Saxon. Vincent jokes, asking “do you come to this fishing swimming pool often?”. Saxon replies “This is my first time here I hear the fishing here sucks”. Regina has set up a bed for herself in the kitchen so she is nearby when the shift changes over. Daniel wants to go to bed – Vincent and Saxon assure him they can stay there until morning. They start commenting on the fish jumping in the pool.

Kim comes into the kitchen and lies down next to Regina, and Reg lets her know she wants to actually sleep because of her shift later. Kim tells her the boys said they will go until sunrise. Regina says in which case she will just go to bed then. Kim doesn’t think they will last. Regina doesn’t care as long as they sit there and shutup.

But the boys aren’t. Saxon keeps singing “here’s Daniel” while Daniel stands at the side of the pool and does strange body actions.

Regina: Shutup Saxon

Regina: I can’t sleep

Kim: Neither can I

Regina: He just can’t be quiet that boy. He can’t whisper. He’s got no whispering thing in his voice. He can’t whisper. Yeah in his voice box.

Outside Saxon asks Vincent if he has any regrets. Vincent says he has let down his guard a couple of times. Saxon wonders why he thinks that is a regret – he sees that as letting people in. Vincent asks Saxon the same question. Saxon says one of his is caring about certain people so much in the house. Saxon can’t interact with people who have their guard up. Vincent says he only opens up to special people – that’s the way he is. Saxon asks if thats always been or because he’s been hurt in the past. Vincent says probably the latter.

Day 51 Uplate

Evening all, and welcome to another week of Up Late. Day 51 in the BB House, with the nominations actually live just 3-4 hours ago, together with BB telling them all they were nominated, we should hopefully have a few housemates up and about with a bit of a buzz running through them.

Into the house we go, and lot of people in the round bedroom. Kim says she can’t believe everyone has to get dressed up on Sunday night, and Reggie says “it’s exciting.” At this point, Mike comes on and interrupts, runs through the $2000 trivia, and then tells us that Joanne’s swimwear is up to $3500. He tells us that Saxon is going to pash everyone in the front row, then move onto Gretel if evicted come Sunday. LOL, If Kim gets evicted with Vincent, she suggests it will be the most boring night of her life. Back to the bedroom, Pat and Saxon have apparently decided to sleep outside. Reggie is debating whether she should join them. Kim asks if he really is going to sleep out there, Pat replying by asking Kim where he was born. He says that if he was born in Scotland, he can handle a cold Queensland night. He gives Reggie a weird look, then the lights go out. They all laugh, but it wasn’t that funny. Maybe I missed something. Reggie says he is going to go to bed, after Chrissie makes mention it must be late, judging by BB turning the lights out. Saxon comes back into the room, in the middle of brushing his teeth. Reggie says goodnight to everyone. Reggie squeals in the next room, all the round house laugh, but we have no idea what went on. Kim departs to read in bed also. A lot of yelling from the square bedroom, especially from Reggie and Saxon. Kim joins in their play fight as well. Saxon says “Right thats it. Your nominated!” They end their fight, and Sax kisses Reg goodnight. Kim starts singing “Say My Name”, so we rejoin the round bedroom. Vincent earlier departed the bedroom to do his teeth, but said he would return before he went to bed. Saxon has joined Chrissie, and Saxon says that ‘soon is too long to wait’, referring to seeing Joanne. He says that the morning after the final evicton, the three of them will go to breakfast by themselves. Chrissie is looking forward to just talking outside to Sax and Jo together.

Chrissie says that she might be there on Sunday. Sax suddenly says he wants to go if she will be there, he asks Chrissie, but she says she will go when the public want her to go. They mention that Pat reckons he is gone. Both Chrissie and Saxon say that Pat won’t go. Jamie pipes in saying he will be going. Sax says that last night was the start of the downhill run for him, it gets worse from here on in. Sax says that he wants to go on Rove to go to Melbourne, or Bert. He says that Jo would have been beside Gretel tonight when she spoke to them, however, she wasn’t at the time. Sax says that he wants to speak to Jo before his party Sunday night if he gets evicted, cause he says he won’t be living a normal life until BB ends.

Sax says he can’t wait to see his Mum, and his ‘kinda’ girlfriend. He says he would have hurt her so much on this show. He says that one night Jo and he said some things they probably shouldn’t have said, but at the end of the day, it’s such a different environment in the house. They are talking about Vincent, and how he is a good listener but not a great talker, and Sax asks what he is! LOL. They say goodnight to Vincent as he comes in to say goodbye. Mike comes back on, saying that Pat earlier said he wanted to read a book, to not attract attention. Back in Chrissy’s Corner, where Chrissie, Dan, Sax and Pat are talking, they are reliving Jo moments, how she used to get right up in front of other people’s faces, especially during sing-songs in the spa. Dan says he couldn’t sleep last night because he just felt it was soo wrong her being evicted. Sax hated the fact that she knew she would be evicted on Sunday, as soon as nominations were announced. They have found something else of Jo’s, and they says they already have a few things that she forgot, and so they talk about taking them back to the diary room. Chrissie suggests they give the gold box used for nominations today as well.

Over to Kim and Reggie, talking about how weird it’ll be on Sunday. Sax comes over and says they found her eyeliner or something, and Sax says he’ll write Cheers on it. Reggie says they won’t give it back if you write on it. Reggie asks Vincent what he is reading, he says he is reading Saxon’s book. Reggie asks if he has read it before now, he says no. Reg asks him if he always sits like that to read when she is asleep, and he says Yes. Saxon walks out the Square bedroom door, leaving the door open, Reggie exclaiming to herself “Why Saxon, it’s not hard to shut a door.” Kim gets up and closes it for her, seeing she was only sitting on Reggie’s bed. Comm break.

Mike comes back on, goes through the first brain teaser, before we return to the house. Before he does, he tells us that BB said No to Sax and Pat sleeping outside, because it’s going to be a lockdown overnight to set up the task. Also, BB has also realised that Vincent had a pen, which he gave to Saxon to write a note, or “Cheers”, and BB has confiscated that during the comm break. Anyway, back in the house, Kim has joined Chrissie’s Corner, but Sax looks like he never came back after visiting the DR. Dan says that in here, it’s best to think that your loved ones are having a great time with the company of another person (ie getting some sex). It makes you feel great that your bf or gf are off bonking other. I don’t get it, but they are all laughing. Sax wonders what the task will be, Pat says it will probably pure physical related. Sax says he wants Gretel to come in. Comm break.

Back again, Mike goes through teaser, gives a hint this time, before he tells us that BB has changed his mind, and let Pat sleep outside if he wants to. Kim is sitting on Chrissie’s bed, but Chrissie seems to be kicking her. Kim asks her to stop it. If I was Chrissie I’d say just get off my bloody bed. Saxon wonders whether they will be ushered into the diary room in groups of 4, or whether Gretel will cross to the group as a whole. Kim says they will all be on the couch, and Gretel will say “It’s time to go…”. Pat says “It’s time to go Pat and Kim”. Chrissie remind Dan of his look while Chrissie was opening up the box earlier. They laugh. They are discussing who actually votes for BB. They say it’s the 16-18 people who do, while grown ups might watch, but never actually ring (True I would imagine.) Pat says he would not be offended if voted out, because of the age group voting. They are all saying that Pat is an eligible bachelor, and thus they won’t vote him out. He doesn’t agree, as they cut to a comm break.

Again back with Trivia dude, who has Amy on the line to win $1000. Game Two is commenced. Back in the house, Kim says “It’s time to go Baby Hands.” Chrissie says that she hopes Kim gets a bit more time. Saxon says he wouldn’t mind leaving anymore, he would like to stay, but he won’t be shattered anymore. He says he is too close to people now, and losing people is doing his head in every week. He again states that last night was really bad for him. He says he hasn’t cried as much as last night since his dad came home from Germany or something like that. Kim gives Sax and Pat high fives. She decides to head to bed, and as they do, Sax and Pat decide to venture outside to sleep. They have already set it up, and as they get under the sheets over the table, Sax exclaims “It’s just like camping!”. Pat says “Just go to sleep Son.” Sax says that Pat will get hot, saying the other night he had to take his jumper off because he was so hot.

Trivia dude gives us a clue for the second brain teaser, then goes onto promote all the stuff that is up for auction at ebay before we return to the campsite. Thye are talking about school, and how long it took each to get home via the bus. Sax said he was always home by 4, and Pat says he was too. They discuss their uniform, Pat had to have shirt and tie always. He says there was nothing worse than wating for the bus in the winter mornings. Kim comes out into the living room, to find blankets, and Saxon asks her what she wants. He tells her there is some inside the room near Pat’s bed, and she says thanks, and goes back into the bedroom, closing the door behind her.

Sax asks him how far away Kate lives. A few beeps, and a few seconds later, we are ushered back to the round bedroom. The greatest joke of the day was apparently when Kim asked someone what the time was, knowing it was 2pm, and the person saying 2pm. Dan makes mention of this joke again, and says that it is good that they are laughing at less funny things all the time. They say that Claire wrote stuff on the side of her bed, saying “Leave it random”. Chrissie says that one of the best lines they heard Kim say was when they would occassionally hear screams from some of the dreamworld rides. She would say “Why do they scream. Thats just scary”. Oh dear, the funny jokes just aren’t funny to us outsiders! Comm break. A lot of SMS ads this show, because it would probably be too hard to go through everyone’s phone numbers individually, so a bigger emphasis will surely be given to the SMS number this week, because it’s the same for everyone. Speaking on the individual phone numbers, we get an ad just saying “Ring this number to vote out….”, then saying the same for the next person. Never actually saying the phone number. Fair enough.

Probably not quite time for the second brain teaser to be given away just yet, time for more money for BB to make yet. A clue is given however. Back to the square house, where Vincent has just finished doing some push ups, and has now settled into bed. Silence in the square bedroom. Silence in the round bedroom too, but Jamie is reading a book with his light on. Mike cuts in to yell “Wake up People!!” He tells his Zoo metaphore again, saying it’s just a human zoo in the BB house. He goes through all 8 of the phone numbers for eviction. Outside with Pat and Sax, all is quiet too. Comm break.

Brain teaser time, Sherry wins the $1000 this time. I’m sure he’ll drag out the conversation for this person, seeing everyone’s asleep. Still talking to her, I’m not paying any attention though. Sherry wants Patrick out of the house. Comm break straight away which was weird.

Back to the house, and the silence. Love the serentity of the place. Mike rejoins us, and starts talking to Nathan. No idea who he is. His favourite was Jo. A doorbell comes over the tv for no particular reason. He believes that Kim will go, but no idea who else will go. Not that interesting that Daniel dude, so Mike says goodbye to him. LOL, Mike says they’ll be back after the break, but Dreamworld says goodnight. Strange stuff, wonder if he’ll mention his little stuff up on Up Late tonight. We’ll see.

Keep Looking for Warren,
Dave

Day 51

10:17am – There is quiet mood in the house now that Joanne is gone. Daniel is telling Regina that he can’t believe he’s still in the house. Saxon, still in his pyjamas says god I miss her already… I felt sick when I woke up and realised she wouldn’t be there”. Regina tells him to look at it as the amazing experience they had. Vincent and Saxon are just bumming around the backyard looking at the ground and remembering Joanne. Vincent says the house changes every time some one leaves. Whenever Saxon or Vincent get close to some one they are evicted. Saxon keeps talking about Joanne, saying that the house makes people care as if they had known each other for 10 years. Vincent says there is no way to translate the intensity of relationships in the house. Patrick (who is sunbathing) butts in saying that they’re going to feel empty from now on.

2:32pm – Kim says she has put on weight as she decides what to wear for the live nominations. Now that Saxon has lost his girl he’s spending all his time with the boys. They are all outside cleaning the windows. Discussion moves onto who is the alpha male of the house (oh god not this again!). The guys talk about how Ben wasn’t really an alpha male because he lied about pashing Jo. Vincent asks if crying (ie Saxon last night) makes you lose ‘alpha male points’. Saxon says it does. Patrick and Vincent say he better cry when they get evicted. Patrick suggests that they have ‘alpha male of the day’. The role goes to Daniel today who orders them to quit acting like women and to keep washing those windows.

3:40pm – Jamie, Kim and Saxon are talking about nominations in the bedroom. Jamie says he’s not too bothered because it’s something they all have to do in the game. Saxon says he’s bothered by it because there is some one talking about a bad trait of his and he doesn’t really know about it. Kim shares Saxon’s view and disagree with Jamie’s view.

Later in the kitchen Jamie confronts Kim about their conversation. Kim tells him that he always thinks she’s picking on him, but it’s not true. She explains she wasn’t picking on him, she just disagreed with him but didn’t force him not to talk. Jamie just leaves, leaving Chrissie at the table. Kim apologises to Chrissie for what just happened.

8:27pm – Chrissie reads out the message to the other housemates that they are all nominated. Saxon is VERY happy about this news and starts loudly telling everyone how great it is. He is glad because if he’s evicted he won’t have to go out alone. Daniel realises that this is the first time Patrick has been nominated. Most of the housemates leave the lounge room, except Regina, Kim and Patrick. Pat says “so this is what it’s like to be nominated”. Kim tells them that now is the time to reflect and appreciate other people’s company. Saxon continues to brag about how great a double eviction would be. Kim doesn’t agree but Saxon says if they were evicted together they would have a great night out (yeah… right!).

In the kitchen Saxon continues to go nuts over this double eviction. Jamie and Chrissie share his view and get excited about it. Saxon tells them that the others inside aren’t so keen on it. They tisk in disgust and Jamie says they are “having a tanty”.

10:26pm – In the bedroom Kim talks to Chrissie and Regina about Jamie and how he thinks she cracks at him because he’s gay. Meanwhile outside Jamie is playing badminton with the boys.

11:00pm – The boys (except Daniel) are now in the kitchen after their badminton game. Chrissie comes in but realises she might be interrupting some “male bonding”. They tell her they’re having milos after their game of “shrivel cock”. Saxon tells Chrissie they need a cheerleader for their next game. The guys start complaining that Daniel isn’t with them when he’s supposed to be today’s alpha male. They explain their ‘alpha male roster’ to Chrissie before she goes back inside.

In the bedroom Chrissie tells Daniel about the boys complaints, so Daniel takes off his shirt and walks out to the kitchen. The girls watch from the bedroom doorway. The boys see Daniel coming and say it’s “typical alpha male behaviour”. Walking in the kitchen, shirtless and flexing his muscles Daniel tells them they’re wearing their shirts and drinking hot milo like women. Daniel continues to flex his muscles in the mirror and burp loudly. The girls are now in the lounge room watching and laughing.

Later Kim is talking to the other girls about Vincent being so quiet in the house. Regina and Chrissie tell her that he’s only just started opening up. They agree that they probably won’t get any more information out of that man.

In the kitchen Saxon says he’d suck at being the alpha male, but wants to know who will be the alpha male tomorrow. He suggests Vincent who just stays quiet the whole time (as usual).

The girls are asking why Vincent chose to come on Big Brother if he never opens up to himself. Later, Kim comes into the deserted kitchen (Vincent still there, of course) but he doesn’t say a word. While doing some kitchen work there’s an awkward silence.

Day 50

Saxon is in his make-shift cubby on the house porch at sunrise.

10:00am – Big Brother opens the store room. Jo says to Patrick she will run and grab a Diet Coke to hide for Chrissie – Patrick will give it to Chrissie if Jo is evicted tonight. As the two run to the store room Saxon notices somethings up and asks if he can join in whatever they are doing. In the store room there is barely any food as the housemates failed their last task. She finds a diet coke and hides it in a cabinet in the lounge room. Saxon says “you’re just so nice Jo”.

11:48am – Jo is chatting with Chrissie. They joke about if they lost touch and saw each other months later and Chrissie lost a lot of weight. Regina and Kim are also chatting while they sunbathe. Regina is feeling weird about the fact she could be leaving the house tonight. Kim advises her not to think about it. Daniel is in the kitchen also talking about being nominated. He says the BB house is like a dream and when you are evicted you wake up from the dream.

1:01pm – Jo is packing her bags for tonight’s eviction. Saxon goes through her clothes and thinks every item is cool. He suggests she wear her favourite gstring. Joanne finds some socks which belong to Tim and she starts crying. She curses herself for bringing them into the house. She hasn’t seen them up until now. She doesn’t want to see them again and asks Saxon to put them away somewhere.

5:48pm – The boys are all trying to sleep to kill time. Saxon is outside on a bench, Patrick and Vincent are in the bedroom, but Vincent is wide awake. Jo goes outside to see Saxon. She asks if he’s ok – he will be… it’s just doing his head in. “I never let people get to me like this”. She invites him inside, but first he needs to see her walk away from behind. To Jo’s bum he says “nice!”.

6:35pm – Vincent is in the bedroom with Jo saying his last goodbyes. He comments that she is very beautiful tonight but Jo doesn’t really care…. “but I’m ok”. Jo is thinking about the other housemates. Vincent says they will all see each other in five weeks time. They hug. Saxon joins them with Patrick’s guitar to cheer them up.

8:00pm – It’s time to go… Joanne. Jo knew it, she knew it “I knew it”. Daniel says “oh my god oh my god”. Jo hugs all the boys goodbye, and no one else. Saxon lets out an upset “seeya Jo” as the doors close behind her and he bangs on the door. He walks away crying and saying “why did I come in this house?”. Chrissie and Regina hug and say it’s amazing Dan has survived another eviction. Meanwhile Vincent is giving Dan a congratulatory hug. Saxon is crying some more. Patrick is sitting on Joanne’s bed and gets a sympathy hug from Regina. He says “thats a bad one”.

8:08pm – Saxon is crying some more, as Vincent sits next to him. Saxon says “why am I like this? This is what I do when my mum’s here. It just doesn’t make sense. Fuck. I don’t know what… I’m so pathetic, I’m so pathetic. I never let shit get to me like this ever. Why did I have to meet some one as cool as her in a place like this?”. He moans (lots). “Can’t some one go and bring her back?”. Chrissie says no, they cannot. Saxon continues “I’ll never be the same again, I loved her so much”.

Patrick reveals to Chrissie the Diet Coke they hid earlier in the day. Chrissie is ecstatic. Regina comes over and hugs Saxon, revealing that’s how she felt when Ben left. Saxon totally breaks down and says “I don’t want to get so sad. People are going to think I’m queer… why does it hurt so much?”. He cries some more while Regina and Chrissie try to joke to cheer him up.

8:21pm – Patrick is still on Jo’s bed and is joined by Vincent and Saxon. The three members of the Jo obsession club think about Jo and what she’s doing right now. It all becomes too much for Saxon yet again as he storms out the room not knowing where he’s going crying. He says “what am I doing to myself?”.

Vincent finds one of Jo’s hairs on her bed and holds it up to display. Patrick keeps the hair for later, and comments they will find Jo’s hair everywhere from now on. Saxon continues to bawl his eyes out in the living room. Patrick is saving some of Jo’s hairs inside one of his birthday cards. In the bathroom. Saxon is now going around hugging everyone – this time it’s Daniel. He says he needs to see his family, and Daniel agrees and says it would be great to just have a telephone where they could talk to their relatives. Saxon isn’t really listening and mumbles out “I want my mum” while he walks away in the middle of Dan’s sentence. “It’s time for me to go… I need to get out of this house”.

11:47pm – Saxon has gone to Big Brother and specially requested they show Joanne’s video goodbye message early. The group are gathered in the living room:

“I would like to say goodbye, and I’ll miss you very much. You are all every special people and I have been blessed to be able to come in this house and meet every single one of you”.

Vincent: I like to speak Italian with you (said in Italian). And I’m really looking forward to have a coffee with you in Melbourne. I want to find out more about you.

11:52pm – The video message continues.

Patrick: Sorry… (she gets teary) Thank you for being a really supportive friend in this house. I appreciate our time spent together. You’re one in a million. As I said before we had an instant rapport in the auditions and I really appreciate your friendship and support. I’ll definitely be catching up with you when we get out.

Saxon: Bye Sax. I definitely will miss you heaps. You’re such a cool fun guy and I’ve got along with you so well in the house. I loved staying up with you those few nights we didn’t sleep and definitely be coming to the coast to meet your mum and your brother. That’s a promise. I’ll see you soon and I’ll miss you heaps.

Saxon is crying once again.

Chrissie: I’ll miss you heaps Chrissie. Thank you for being my sorority sister, thank you for being a really good friend. I’ll be seeing you in Melbourne and I can’t wait to hold your baby hands once again.

Chrissie is laughing. Saxon is crying.

When the message finishes all the housemates wave at the screen to say goodbye except Saxon who is crying. Everyone comments her video message was really well done.

12:26am – Regina and Patrick have a quiet chat in the bedroom. Patrick is just taking all the recent events in and thinking about them. He’s worried about what Jo might face on the outside. Regina says if she goes back home she might not see anyone else ever again. Patrick says she won’t get stuck back on that island. Saxon has gone to bed with Jo’s pillow. “Goodnight Jo. I miss you”.

Day 49

Day 49 was covered on a weekend daily show, thus the recap is very short.

9:58pm – Daniel is experiencing pre-eviction jitters, and vents his concerns to Saxon and Patrick in the kitchen. Daniel say she sorta doesn’t want to stay anymore – he’s over it. After his strike he has gone downhill a bit. Also, he feels the interesting conversation in the house has dried up.

10:53pm – Jo and Saxon are discussing eviction on in the square living room. Jo is anxious about her possible eviction tomorrow. Jo wonders if she should have concerns about her time in the house – he feelings and her behaviour. Jo doesn’t want Saxon to feel torn about this eviction and her being in the house. Saxon says if Jo wasn’t in the house, no one would have seen as much as him. Patrick sits down with them with his guitar. Jo is scared of how she’s been portrayed, and what will happen with the people she knows on the outside when she leaves. She says “this could have been the biggest error I’ve ever made… as opposed to the best thing”. She’s especially worried about friends and her boyfriend Tim. Patrick comforts her: Tim has known her for a long time. Jo says if she has hurt Tim in any way all her friends will be on his side.

11:47pm – Jo is now talking to Chrissie in the bedroom about Saxon. Jo says it’s hard because Saxon is so emotional and it’s hard to cope for him. However it’s refreshing to Jo that he can vent his emotions: Tim is the opposite of that and can’t communicate his feelings.

Saxon is outside building a cubby house out of benches and towels so he can lay outside and look at the full moon. Jo goes out to say goodnight to him, they hug, and say tomorrow they will have an excellent day. As Jo walks away Saxon squeels and says “I’m so excited”. In the bedroom Jo gives Patrick a big hug, and a kiss before going to bed.

Day 48 Uplate

00.46am – Most of the housemates are in the kitchen talking. Mike explains they are talking about Vincent almost hitting a pedestrian in his car. Dave also recaps Jo’s reaction to Saxon in the daily show. He also mentions their entry into the camera run. The housemates had a cocktail party tonight but Saxon and Vincent couldn’t drink as part of their punishment. Regina was also dirty dancing to Patrick’s guitar and Kim says she’s about to lose it and leave the house (ooh interesting).

Anyway Vincent is talking about an elderly couple in a car he hit. Apparently it was a bad accident because he was rolling around. He broke an artery in his leg. His leg was all black and purple and he needed a walking stick to walk. He then starts joking about his friends hitting his leg but no one’s laughing. It’s then revealed he was on a motorcycle.

Patrick tells a story of car hitting his parked car. He looked out the window of his flat and his girlfriend(?) saw a car with a flat tire pass through an intersection, hitting both of their cars and continuing. They jumped into Kate’s car and followed the rubber marks left by the flat tire of the car. Around the corner they found the left wheel and suspension on the side of the road so they continued to follow scrape marks on the road. Apparently the new car was a brand new BMW something (they bleep it out). The driver was a blonde girl who appeared to be slurring her words. She had driven out of an accident and collided with Patrick and his girlfriend’s car and then drove off to her driveway. She caused $9000 worth of damage to Patrick’s car.

In the lounge room Regina and Kim are just sitting and chilling with some chips on the sofa. Jo comments on her high shoes and walks off wearing them. When she comes back she says “I’m Regie queen”.

In the kitchen Patrick is talking about his story again. He said 10 minutes earlier he was standing in the same spot the car hit his car (as they had just bought takeaway). He said he could have been angry because she was endangering lives but he preffers to be cool. Vincent agrees – and said he didn’t get mad about his accident as long as the insurance could be paid.

00.56am – Jo, Reg and Kim are talking clothes. Kim offers some clothes for Jo to wear on her eviction night. Reg says that Claire had heaps of clothes. Jo continues to ask about Kim’s wardrobe. Reg has nothing to give Jo. Jo says she’s a size 10/8. Reg doesn’t want to know what she’s wearing until Sunday. She then says she’s going to get some water and go to bed. Kim says she doesn’t hate everyone in here, she just gets cranky when people argue with her. Regina says “you’ll be right… I hope you will”. Kim them whispers about a housemate she had an arguement with before, but it’s hard to tell who she’s talking about (possibly Jo).

Back in the kitchen Saxon is talking to the group but keeps looking at Jo. Vincent looks uncomfortable (very funny!). Chrissie leaves for bed. Jo goes to leave and Saxon tells her to do her catwalk-walk. Jo doesn’t want to do it but shows the boys a halfturn… even Jamie has a look. Patrick joins in and does some male modeling moves with a beanie on. Jo tells him to make the “I don’t give a fuck” look. Patrick gives her a playful hug. Jo gives some more tips on modelling with Jamie helping out with fashion advice. Saxon and Daniel also take turns in doing some modeling moves, with Dan providing some funny commentary. Vincent still looking uncomfortable. The conversation moves onto fashion and Saxon explains a spiffy top his friend has with golden chains etc. Patrick leaves, to which Jo follows, leaving Saxon and Vincent alone. Saxon says her catwalking is all wrong and walks inside with them. Vincent is just sitting by himself in the kitchen!

1.06am – Jo flops down on the couch with legs up. Patrick says he’s going to bed now..but sits down on the couch with Jo in his lap. Jo says she’s going to lie on him so he doesn’t leave. Saxon and Vincent now join them, just standing there. Saxon has Patrick’s guitar. Mike calls out for Saxon not to play the guitar (I don’t blame him!!). While Mike reads out the popularity polls Saxon and Vincent just sit there not saying anything. After Mike leaves Saxon is strumming the guitar and Chrissie comes out of the bedroom only to go back outside. It’s now a four-some on the sofa with Jo, Pat, Sax and Vince. They talk about how cool the word beanie is. According to Chrissie a bird got trapped inside the house today and crapped on the window. Saxon cracks a few lame jokes about the bird. Meanwhile Regina is getting dressed in the bedroom. Patrick says he was woken up this morning by magpies flying into the windows. The housemates comment on how good Kim’s tan is as she walks by. Chrissie comments on how “fucky” (or funky?) the air is inside.

In the bedroom Daniel is giving Regina a leg massage. She thinks she may have hurt it while in the pool. The two of them can’t beleive how much alcohol Big Brother gave them tonight… it’s the most they’ve been given so far.

Saxon is talking about how he was in the shower with Chrissie and she dropped the soap. She bent over to pick it up and put her ass in his face. He was just thinking “thankyou very much Chrissie”. They all talk about the birds flying into the house again…. so it’s a perfect time to cut to an ad break.

1.21am – Trivia time.. the answer is so easy!!! “BEARD”. Anyhoo the foursome is down to a threesome as Patrick goes to bed. YET AGAIN it’s Jo, Saxon and Vincent talking about nothing. They are talking about “helicopters” again. It has something to do with the intruders and something that happened (possibly one of Kim’s jokes).. but it’s hard to tell. Looks like Patrick is back now and starts strumming the guitar.

1.27am – Regina is settling into bed, alone in the bedroom. The lights go out and Regina says “thankyou very much” into her microphone. In the other bedroom Daniel is talking to Jamie and Chrissie about the launch night. Daniel and Chrissie say they were padded down, had a name tag slapped on them and were told to get in the cars really fast and not say anything to the other person in the car. Just at that moment we cut to an ad break.

I was wrong! The answer for trivia is “BREAD”. Now I’m embarrassed. Mike then goes through some threads on the official forums, mainly ones saying that people are jealous of Jo’s assets. Back to the house and Jamie is overwhelmed with being the new person. They wonder what Gretel will be saying to them on eviction night (especially Kim and Jamie).

1.38am – Saxon says he loves asparagus! EW. He’s talking to Jo about strange foods he likes to eat. Saxon talks about a romantic sea food restraunt he likes to visit. Jo ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ along as he explains a typical date he has there. Vincent explains the Vincent-burger, which is a normal burger but inverted, with the bread in the middle. Ad break.

Kim is saying no one has ever given her a massage like the spa bath. She says because she’s a smoker she had trouble breathing in the spa and almost drowned. Saxon and Jo look distraught. Jo and Saxon suggest she go and talk to Big Brother about her problems in the house and she’ll feel so much better for it. In the bedroom Daniel is saying that being able to laugh like they have in the house is a real gift.

2.05am – Daniel is talking about a short movie he made with friends when Patrick walks in. Chrissie says she feels like she’s growing a second nipple on one of her boobs. Kim (who has just walked in) laughs and Daniel shows her his third nipple. She says it’s just a mole – how come milk isn’t coming out then? A few moments later Daniel and Chrissie come up with “Third Nipple: The Movie – don’t ask questions, just believe!”.

2.14am – Later, Mike is talking about the Haiku competition which he thinks is the stupidest competition ever (I agree!). The other housemates must be singing because we’re back with Daniel and Chrissie. Daniel is talking about a standup routine he had done with a mild audience response. His talking is keeping Jamie up – Chrissie and Dan have a laugh about it. He says he has a big future in standup comedy. Chrissie eventually goes to sleep, Daniel walks out of the bedroom.

2.26am – Kim is talking about how she never got any sun when oustide the house. Jo tells a story about how she put a block of frozen raw meat in her mouth thinking it was a coke ice cube. She was sucking on it for a good 20 seconds.

2.32am – Saxon is explaining to Kim how the housemates entered the house on different nights. Patrick says “are you confused yet” bringing up memories of their musical task. They all laugh about it. Jo starts playfully punching Saxon to see how strong his arms are. Kim starts telling a story which involves a lot of swearing so they cut to housemates sleeping in the bedroom. Goodnight from Dreamworld.

Keep looking for Warren,
Dave
