Day 60 Uplate

11:21pm: Darren is talking to Claire, Rob, Gaelan and David. Claire tells Darren that before tonight there was only 3 girls in the house left. Dave wonders what Darren thinks of his hair. TOO MANY PPL IN THE HOUSE. Talk one at a time damnit! Ashley and John are also in this conversation. They talk about drugs a bit and most of it is beeped. Cut over to the dining room table, Camilla, Jamie, Perry and Krystal are there. Camilla wants to know hoe she is perceived in the outside. Perry asks Jamie what he thinks of himself. Jamie says that he thinks he is too complex to get an accurate assessment of him via watching a television show. He then says that he doesn’t think he is overly complicated though. Perry says that after an hour she thinks that he is very deep and sincere. Camilla starts talking star sign rubbish. Someone else is in the convo, but I can’t see him. It’s Gaelan, scratch him from the earlier circle around Darren. Perry thinks that first impressions of Gaelan are that he’s a player, but then she too says he is deep etc. We cut back to Darren, and we hear “This is Big Brother”, but apparently no one else did because everyone keeps talking. Claire and Darren seem to be having a very nice chat about vegetairian diets. Darrren says he’s a national geographic man. Claire says thats her dream as well, while she says Krystal is to be on a cover of a girl magazine. Claire says she wants to teach the average person about nature. Claire says that while she is happy to talk about nature etc at anytime with anyone who is willing and interested, but she won’t preach to someone who is not interested. Comm break.

11:33pm: The Revenge/Exit room has Lauren in there. BB tells her it’s time to enter the house. Oh my god….INTRUDER ALERT IS PLAYED ON THE SCREEN. Get some new ideas BB, thats a disgrace. The boys love her from their first sighting. John looks stoked. Ash looks interested as well. Lots of introductions. God she is tall. Lauren says she has been in that room for hours. They wonder what DVD’s she got to watch. What the?! She is very tall, tihnk I’ve already said that. Lauren gets to the bedroom and Krystal tells her the bed arrangements. Lauren wonders how long Perry has been in the house for. Krystal takes her to the bathroom and they exchange ages. Lauren thinks that krystal would be older than the 20 she almost is. She says Krystal acts more mature than that. Back out into the kitchen they head. Lauren talks to John and Gaelan about the Mariners, I dunno Rugby? Lauren says she knows all the players. Oh god, not one of those people that know everyone. Krystal continues the tour though. Lauren says this feels so unreal. Krystal wonders if she met Darren yet. Krystal explains that everyone came in at different times. Krystal claims to be the first to see the “Intruder Alert.” Perry says that it’s very weird, agreeing with Lauren. Rob wants to know who Lauren knows from Wollongong. Perry tries to let Lauren know who is single and who is taken. Camilla says she is the only female to have been in a female relationship. Lauren says she would go there but hasn’t yet. Claire says that Lauren is in the same boat as her. Someone mentions spin the bottle! Dave says to Perry that he has no idea what way Darren swings. Lauren says that Rob looks really familar, and they finally get a place where both used to frequent. Rob says he used to love the nightclub, but it’s gone all R&B now. Comm break.

11:51pm: Lauren still talking to Rob about Wollongong. How boring. Lauren says she knows the rugby players again! Rob says that the biggest thing she’ll experience while she is here is that she’ll think she is in TV land having watched it all at home. Rob says you should be here for a fun time, not a long time. Rob says that he told BB he was fine on the second day, but went back after a week and told him his head was still spinning, but after two weeks he really was fine. Rob says that you really have to give everyone a new frame of mind and can’t come in here with pre conceived ideas and opinions. Over to Claire and Darren, Dave watches on as the lovefest continues. Darren can’t believe that even Dave as a gay man isn’t attracted to Claire at all. Dave says he finds her hot, Claire says she is fully attracted to Dave. Krystal comes over and Dave says “you just popped right out there.” Darren then says that Krystal is smashed, and she says she is a bit. Krystal and Claire talk about who sleeps with who. Dave tries to get Darren up to speed with the bed situation. Apparently he was going to sleep with Rob, but now they want to change. Rob doesn’t seem to happy with all this though. Darren says he doesn’t know why he gets on so well with Dave, then says he is very accepting to everyone. Claire says that Lauren is going to use Katie’s old drawers. Comm break.

12:05am: Perry is talking to Lauren. Lauren says she was going to be 6 foot 5 or something, but I missed the first part of the convo because of Mike. You can’t understand how much background noise, or rather yelling, there is. Dave is telling Darren about Sheriff, his boyfriend. He says that his dad loved Sheriff. Dave tells Darren that his dad knew he was gay, but no one would say anything. Darren goes to the toilet. Gaelan is telling the new girls that they can run out the back, it’s a bit of a weird ‘track’, but you can run around. Gaelan says that the gym is sufficient for the guys. Lauren wonders where Claire is from, and she fills her in. Lauren says that she is a smoker, and most days she would have about 4. Perry says she wants to exercise while she is in here. Rob and Perry talk about the shape of Rob’s face, or eyes or something. Rob says he is getting old, Perry reassures him that he isn’t. Lauren says she is the spoilt child of the family. Dave says that Lauren might see some similaries between three of the guys who are 26 and her brother, who is 26. Dave says that Perry is the oldest housemate ever to enter BBAU. Lauren wants to know where Dave lives. Claire wonders what her brothers do. Lauren says the oldest is an accountant, but a funny accountant, and the other one is a dealer at Star City. Comm break.

12:25am: Camilla, Krystal and Dave are talking about the different jobs they have in here. Dave says he is farmhand and he gets to wake someone up everyday. He explains that people can’t volunteer. Camilla explains that Katie was farmhand once and asked John to get up only to be told to F off. John says he didn’t realise he said it though. Back with Dave, Rob and Perry, they discuss who is sleeping with who. Perry wants Dave to sleep with her and Rob tonight, but Dave says he is with Claire. Claire and Perry look through the stuff that Perry bought into the house when she entered. Comm break.

12:36am: Perry is doing Claire’s nails. Claire says she has hardly ever done drugs, only once at a family 50th or something. We cut away from that convo though! Dave says to Lauren that when it rains he is always thinking about the farm. He says that this was going to be his big year farm wise, but he’s in here. He says it’ll still be there when he gets out though. He tells Lauren that he has 6 horses. Lauren says that her father was a miner so they used to move a lot. They lived in Adelaide, and then PNG. She says she did school via correspondance for a while over in PNG. Darren is talking to Gaelan and Ashley. They are talking about some of the tasks, mainly the 24hr tasks. Darren wants to know who stopped the soccer balls etc. Darren wonders who has hooked up in the house, and Gaelan says that he and Krystal are the only pair left in the house. In the bedroom now Lauren is talking to Krystal, Dave and Camilla. Lauren wonders if Krystal is missing her mum. Krystal says that she has once but she had moved out of home anyway so she gets by. They talk about bed positions again. Camilla says that she loves that new people are here, but she says she is very protective of the other housemates at the same time. Comm break.

12:50am: Dave and Darren are talking in the kitchen. Darren says that Ash is the gentlemen of the house. Lauren and Darren get to know each other now. 3rd time she has said she knows people from the rugby side. I’m not making this up! Lauren hugs John for something, then says that John just reminded her not to say anything from the outside world. Claire tells Lauren that she has been obsessed with animals her whole life. Dave talks to Darren as Claire talks to Lauren, no way in the world you can tell what either are talking about. They are within a metre of each other, all four of them. Comm break.

1:03am: Darren says he is sleeping with Camilla. The girls talk about sunbaking I think. Claire tells Lauren the pool is heated. Camilla tells Darren that she loves Rob, but feels that the past couple of days he’s been a bit off so she has given him some space. Lauren says that Dave must wake up early all the time. Dave says he is always up early, he has to be on a farm. Dave says that Rob has survived 5 evictions. Darren says she wouldn’t take it personally if he left it tomorrow. Lauren agrees. Dave says it’s a big achievement to be able to get ‘into the TV’ in the first place. Camilla is taling to Perry in the bedroom. Camilla is saying that if people have arguments you can’t jump in a car and drive away so they have to make up etc. Camilla says she is a pig in the outside world with her house etc, but she says that in this house you just can’t be like that. She says she is a neat freak in here. She says if she goes back to her own ways in the outside world she’ll at least have respect for people who live in a clean area etc. Perry tells Camilla to not clean all day though; life is too short etc. Perry wonders how Jamie is. No idea where he is. Back outside, Dave says that he was amazed Tilli was spelt with a I and not a Y at the end. Dave says that he thought Krystal was with a C as well. We cut back to Jamie who is sitting on his bed talking to no one. Back out in the lounge/kitchen, BB calls Ash to the diary room. Still can’t hear BB though. Comm break.

1:19am: In the bedroom we are. Dave, Darren, Gaelan and John are talking. Jamie tries to scare John with a leaping fart. Darren wonders how Jamie can walk with his pants down so low. Jamie says he has mastered the art. Ashely comes back without batteries, and tells them BB just wanted his thoughts. Jamie says he might go and talk to BB as well. Darren says it’s a lot colder in the bedroom compared to the bathroom. Darren wonders what Gaelan and Krystal do in bed. Gaelan says that they just sleep, thats all they can do in this house. Darren pushes him further, and Gaelan asks “What have you seen?” Darren says nothing, saying he only knows that they are ‘together’ in the house. Dave teaches the boys about gay sex a bit. Into the other bedroom, mostly girls in here. Claire and Perry hug. Krystal is looking at Lauren’s photos. Perry wonders if Gaelan works out. Darren wonders how dark it does get in this room. The boys wonder whether they should have a pillow fight tonight. Dave tells Darren that he is in the house now, and it’s so surreal talking to Gretel. Dave says that Gretel was really nice to him, but was a bit cautious of Gaelan. Comm break.

1:33am: Back in the ‘boys’ bedroom, otherwise known as the bigger one. Jamie is talking about Mick Molley and Tony Martin, an old radio duo. Dave is showing Darren his farm via photos. The girls talk shoe sizes, Lauren and Claire are both size 10. They are all looking through Lauren’s things. Dave explains that they lost most of the ducks, but he still has one and it’s not being given away. Dave says he is a bit of a hoarder. Darren says that his dad has crap round his house all the time. Darren tells Dave that he really likes Claire. They watch her for a bit. Darren says you can’t like everyone in here. Darren wonders who Dave will hang out with outside the house. He says Camilla, Krystal, Jamie, Karen. Darren says he can’t see much in Krystal. Darren says that he needs a relationship where he is constantly attracted to the person, even first things in the morning etc. Dave says that he thinks that BB has shown him to be a bit too inquizative, but he says he can’t sit in a house and just give one liners every minute of the day. He says he likes to spend an hour with someone just having an in depth conversation. At 1:44am, Dreamworld says goodnight.

Day 59 Uplate

11:38pm: Krystal and Jamie are chatting outside. Krystal says that you really test your people skills in here. Jamie agrees, saying that he had a chat with Rob just before and he understands why he gets frustrated at Jamie. Krystal says she had a chat last night and she was glad that he did that. Jamie says there is no point in explaining why he was wary of Rob. Jamie changes the topic, he wants to know how happy she is hooking up with Gaelan. She says she is really genuinely happy. She says in a way she is shocked because she didn’t expect it, especially thinking of her ex boyfriend for the first four weeks she was in here. Krystal says that the rewards room really helped and Gaelan was actually able to open up with him over that time. Krystal says she is concerned about going back to her hometown though and what the relationship will do on the outside. Jamie says that a week ago he might have told people that he really didn’t know him, but he says that Gaelan is great and he really likes him. He says he thinks he does know him now. Krystal agrees that he keeps a lot to himself. Jamie says that when he lets stories out he finds Gaelan so great to talk to. Jamie wonders how moths fly through the rain. They laugh as they watch a moth for a while. Krystal says she likes not to worry about anything on the outside while she is in here. She says at the end of the day she thinks that you can only please yourself. Dave comes out and they change the topic back to the moths. Krystal wonders when the rain will stop. Dave hopes his farm got this for two straight days. It really is coming down. Krystal says they can always get buffed in the gym. Krystal wonders if Dave will ever cut his hair. Dave says he likes it long, but it’ll eventually get cut. Krystal thinks it would look great short, but she says she loves it long too. Krystal says that Katie would’ve been on Rove tonight. Jamie says that some of the questions would be about him, and he says he finds it weird. Dave reckons Katie will be asked heaps about her wanting her first time to be with Jamie. Comm break.

11:53pm: Jamie and Dave are still outside. Krystal is still there too. Dave is saying that in every situation in life when your getting pissed off at something, everyone has to let off steam to somebody else. In here, it looks like bitching Dave says. Krystal says that if someone close to her does something big that pisses her off, she’ll forgive them, but it will never be forgotten. She says that in here the slightest thing gets way out of control. Rob says that he has been into BB to request something, and offered to sleep somewhere else, but BB was saying no all along. Uplate update, then back outside. Dave says that everyone in the house has been through heaps. Jamie says that being nominated now isn’t a problem, he’s over that. He also says he wants to stay. Mike cuts in again, and we’re off to a comm break.

12:10am: Jamie says that he thinks Camilla looks for controvesy. He thinks Krystal doesn’t really strive to get into battles. Jamie tells him that he is always evaluating his contribution to the group. Dave asks what he thinks about Rob, but Rob comes out at that moment. Mike cuts in at this point. Back quickly though. Dave wonders if Rob is tired, he says he is. Jamie is worried he’s getting a slight off white patch on his legs or something. Rob says he should moisturise. Jamie says he will. Jamie says that this week he hasn’t had Katie to run off and sulk this week. Dave says that he thinks Jamie that yesterday and today have been must better than the previous week where he thought he was really down. Jamie says that a lot of stuff was going through his mind last week, and he says that Dave did it so well last week. Comm break.

12:24am: Jamie is saying that he can’t talk to one of the girls in the house. I don’t know who he is talking about. Dave says that if everyone took that view the place would be in a bad ‘place’. Jamie understands, but says that his positive side tells him that he can always counter an argument, prime example talking to Rob tonight. Jamie says he almost had a breakdown last week, and was over the whole BB experience. Dave says it was frustrating that he couldn’t talk to Jamie about it last week because of his moods. Claire says goodnight to the boys. Dave says that last week he felt like he lost a mate last week. Dave says everyone acts in a certain way, and he felt as if he had done something to piss Jamie off, and of course he realises now that it wasn’t him. Dave says the thing that hurt him was that Jamie was only concerned completely about himself last week. Jamie agrees completely. Dave says last week he thought heaps of people had stopped talking to because they all thought that he was a goner. Dave says last week he was making massive issues out of nothing. Jamie says it’s a great relief to get things off his chest tonight. Comm break.

12:43am: Jamie loves doing stupid shit in front of people, being a class clown type of thing. He says he would love to be a TV presenter, he thinks he would be quick on his feet with lines, comebacks etc. Jamie says that he was glad he was out in the last round for FNL. Dave says that Office FNL theme he was the same, he was totally worried about the stand up comedy part of FNL. Dave says he would never do something like that out in the real world. We head inside to Gaelan, John and Ashley. They are discussing the different jobs in the house, especially the dishes. They say many have complained about the dishes. John says Tilli hated it. He says that Dino gave Elise the housekeeper job so she had to get up early. They all have a laugh. We cut to Rob who seems to be sleeping on the floor for some reason. Back out to the couch. John says that double they all knew Jade would be one of the ones evicted, but otherwise it was wide open. John thought he might be gone. He says that when he was up with Michael and Karen he wasn’t too worried. Comm break.

12:59am: Dave has come into chat with Gaelan and Ashley. Dave is talking about climbing a mountain so he could see the entire country. No idea what country he is talking about. John says that it’s great because you can see the barriers at the borders of the country. Dave says this countries biggest export is dentures. John and Dave talk about some country flags. They seem to be discussing Angola, I have no idea. Dave just keeps talking about his travels. He says he joked with someone checking his passport over the Australia/Austria joke. Comm break.

1:15am: Jamie says goodnight to the small bedroom. He heads back out to the living room. Dave is still chatting to the other guys. John says he left Venice after 6 hours and was upset about that. He names heaps of places he didn’t go to, and then says he left his passport behind somewhere and was denied entry and had to smuggle a train back to where his passport was. John tells a story how he got 400 Euro’s out of the wall at the train station and these guys came along and he was convinced he’d be robbed, but there was one nice guy in their group and he was fine. He says he eventually got back his passport and continued his travelling. Dave talks for a bit about some country. He says he got to Poland and realised that everything was dearer than in Germany. Dave says that he could get a massive meal for $5 in Checz (not even gonna try to spell it). Comm break.

1:30am: Dave is talking about catching a bus somewhere overseas. He says he travelled with some random guy. They wonder if he was gay, but he says he didn’t know, but says he was hot. He had Visa issues in Latvia. Dave says he had no interest in Lithuania. Dave says he was over in Europe for 13 months, and $23,000 all up. He says he worked in Britain a bit as a landscape gardener. He says he had no idea what he was doing but he had 3 people working for him and he had to pave a huge area and put a pond in. He says that as soon as it rained it would’ve stuffed up completely. He says that he got heaps for doing it, but they soon realised he had no idea what he was doing. John says that all his mates just worked in pubs overseas. Gaelan says that trade jobs overseas are easy to get because they are all crap labourers over in Europe. Comm break.

1:43am: Gaelan says that he’s not too phased about drinking midweek. Jamie talks about a visit to the diary room with someone else and they tried to get more alcohol. Dave seems to have gone into the bedroom. Rob talks to him about how his mum always has gay jokes to tell him, but always is pissing herself laughing and gives away the punchline everytime. Dave wonders whether they have cameras in this room; saying sometimes he thinks they don’t have that many. He says they must take them in and out at times. He reckons they would only have 3-4 cameras on the go at once. Rob, sleeping on the floor, says he never sleeps in anything under 4 stars. Rob says the girls are all in bed as per usual. Dave agrees, saying they are boring. They seem to be talking about beer now. Rob like Heineken. Dave likes Coopers. Gaelan comes in to get ready for bed. Dave says he really enjoys XXXX Gold. Gaelan climbs into bed.

1:55am: Back out to the couch. Dave has rejoined the other boys. John says “You see that guy who ate a bike?” He says they cut it into tiny pieces, but it was all metal and all that still. Dave wonders how. He says a Korean guy has eaten 2KG of nails as well. They realise that the lights are out, so they all decide it’s bedtime. Most head to the bathroom to get ready for bed. Hardly anyone saying anything. Ashley is a bit concerned of a coldsore he has developed, and apologises that they’ll be no kisses tonight for the boys. At 2:05am Dreamworld says goodnight.

Day 58 Uplate

11:26pm: A lot of housemates are gathered at the stools in the kitchen and over the kitchen side of the bench. Rob and Claire are having a conversation about meat. Lots of people just listening in. Gaelan says something about a sauce to go with the meat. Cut to the punishment room where John is picking up feathers in colour segments. Mike cuts in already for an uplate update. Back to John in the room, and Gaelan, Jamie and Claire on the couch. Claire decides to get ready for bed. Gaelan says he really wants to go to bed but he hates going to bed when the lights are on. Camilla is complaining about the state of the kitchen as they try and tidy it up and do the dishes etc. Camilla does an impression of “The Weakest Link” and “Kath & Kim”. Ashley has joined the convo on the couch. He says something about his family, but it’s hard to hear it properly. John takes a breather and starts talking to the people outside on the couch. They tell him to do green feathers next. Gaelan says again that he is so tired. Camilla wonders what John has to do in the punishment room. Jamie gives John some support! John wonders if Jamie got in trouble. He doesn’t think so. Comm break.

11:48pm: David is talking to Claire, Jamie there as well. They seem to be talking about a hotel. Cut to Gaelan and Krystal in the bedroom, but Camilla’s audio is still on for some reason making it hard to make sense of anything. Krystal seems a bit cold. Gaelan puts her doona over her. Rob and Camilla are also in the smaller bedroom. Camilla starts talking about sex, so Mike gladly cuts in and we go to a break.

12:00am: Krystal is putting makeup on! Gaelan says he doesn’t care if he can see a pimple on her face. They share a kiss. Heaps of people in the small bedroom now. Dave is in there, as well as Claire, Rob and Camilla still there. Claire is talking about being patriotic. Krystal says she didn’t get the tune right for something, but the thought was there. Claire tells David he might need to masturbate. Cut to the couch, Ashley and Jamie chatting. Jamie wants lots of beer. Ashley says that Jamie’s bday must be next Wednesday. Jamie says he wants nothing but beer, and he’s going to tell BB that. Ashley wonders whether it’ll be in the rewards room. Silence on the couch now. We head back to the bedroom. Claire is saying she wasn’t getting attention in the early weeks but gets plenty now. Claire says she found another lolly. David and Rob are talking about holding their penis’s. John has finished his task. Jamie tells him to scream as loud as he can. He can’t hear, but then realises and starts screaming very loudly. Jamie watches on amused. Gaelan comes out to see whats happening. Comm break.

12:14am: Ashley is eating something, and says they don’t taste as good as the others. Jamie starts telling a story that he had heard from Claire, and he makes it out to be really really boring. Ashley, still convinced that something isn’t right with his food, asks John to have a taste. Cut to Rob and David talking in the bedroom quietly as others have other conversations either side. I think they are talking about Jamie. They say he feels very attacked. Dave says that Jamie told him that if he has conflict with someone, he moves on and finds a new friend. Rob finds this weak. Rob says his isn’t going to tiptoe around him (really hard to recap when vision is not associated with the bloody audio). Dave says that this has to stay between them, then says that Jamie doesn’t like the way Rob talks about sex all the time. Almost impossible to make sense of this conversation as they are talking into pillows. Rob thanks Dave for telling him, and he respects that! Dave fears that Jamie will leave and everything will fall on a plater for Jamie and he won’t learn to be nicer to people for a long time. Rob says that if Jamie doesn’t calm down he’ll have to say something in front of the whole group. Rob prepares his speech for this occassion now. Rob says he wants to look like the adult and ask him really difficult questions so Jamie comes off looking like a complete wanker. Dave reckons you should always strive to be the better person in life. Rob says he likes taking people down with their own rules, as it’s more satisfying. Dave tells Rob ‘good luck.’ Rob yells out “rewards room” and wakes up Camilla! Comm break.

12:31am: Jamie says he would be happy to have lasted this long. He says it’s week 9. Ashley thinks this is a very hard show. Jamie says that apart from John and Ashley, and to some extent Gaelan, Jamie feels that everyone is being very careful around everyone. Jamie says he came in here to have fun, so he doesn’t care about trivial shit. Jamie is sick of people telling him that this place is a mess. He just thinks everyone should do their bit. Into the bedroom, John is talking to Camilla. Camilla commends Jamie for taking the nomination better this time. John says he just likes to have time to himself a lot. Camilla thinks that that is fine, and he is entitled to that. Camilla and John say they both loved the alone time you get in the rewards room. Jamie and Ashley are talking about who will win. They say the couldn’t care less who wins and the money. Ashley calls it “monopoly” money. Ashley says that BB is pretty tough on them with the fines this year. BB immediately gives Ashley a $5000 fine for discussing the prizemoney! All they can do is laugh. Ashley can’t work out why he got it. Jamie says that task day should be tommorrow. Ashley says thats 2 fines this week, the other being John calling BB “mate.” Ashley wonders what they are down to now. Jamie says “Oh, we’re fucked.” They think it’ll be around $300,000. Jamie says he couldn’t give a flying f***. Ashley agrees, although I’m not sure he really means it. Jamie says he would be happy with $5000. He says that money isn’t really that important for him at the moment. He just needs a bit to move out and enough to get a meal and thats enough for him. Krystal comes out and talks about the fines, and then goes back into the bedroom to hit the sack. Ashley immitates Krystal’s “goodnight guys”. Gaelan comes out and they repeat the convo on how they got fined. Comm break.

12:45am: Fair few people in the main bedroom now preparing to have a pillow fight by the looks of it. Dave jumps on numerous beds. Claire just wants to sit still or something. Lots of laughter. Pillow fight commences between Claire and Dave but doesn’t last long. Claire sits on the bed and looks at the plasma, saying she is waiting for her TV show to start. Dave says they’ll wait together. Claire comments on the TV show she is watching, and Krystal joins in. The guys tell her not to play along. Gaelan says he’s going to sleep, and says goodnight. Out to the couch, Ash, John and Jamie chatting away. Ash says thats the first fine he’s got while having a conversation. John talks about how Camilla and Jamie are probably the highest in getting fines. Krystal and Gaelan are at the bottom end of the scale according to John. Claire still saying her show is boring. Dave tells her to piss off. Camilla and Dave head to the bathroom. Dave is concerned he is running out of toothpaste. Rob is shaving in there as well. Rob complains that Dave is very bitter, and tells him to relax. Back out to the couch. John says that in the first week 9 votes you might not be up. But now there is less votes, 9 is defintitely up. John says that he did the maths and something can happen, but we’ll never know cause comm break comes on.

1:02am: On the couch with the three again. John says the crowd was huge, saying that the past eviction would have to have been the biggest. Jamie says that he is scared talking to Gretel with others on the couch during noms or something because he doesn’t like thinking others can see him talking. John says when he talks to her he jokes to overcome the nervousness. Ashley says he’ll love it when the crowd is screaming. Jamie thinks that no one could be hated and survive an eviction. Jamie wonders who Ashley was up against when he was up. He was up the week 5 were up. He says Anna knew she was going because she didn’t think she had a place in the house. Ash says that Anna and Katie were really the only 2 chick friends he really liked in the house. John says that Rob has been here 6 weeks now. They talk birthday’s again, so we head into the bedroom. They seem to be talking religion. Camilla says that her dad is very religious, and she respects that, especially because her dad doesn’t pressure her into believing any of it herself. Camilla says she is waking up again now and wants to play, but Claire tells her to keep her hands on the pillow. They really want the lights out! They seem to be singing nappy ads now. Great conversation this. Comm break.

1:18am: Boys still the only ones still out in the main part of the house. John wonders when they came into the house. Ash says April 22nd. Ash says that John and him are here until almost the start of July. John says that the first week of August the show will wrap up. Back to the bedroom with Gaelan and Krystal. Lots of laughter. Krystal wants a story from Gaelan, and he says he will but she must shut her eyes. Gaelan starts his ridiculous story, being nice and sweet then tries to scare her. Lots more small talk which isn’t worth recapping in the slightest. Back to the couch. Jamie says that he is putting on weight in here because he doesn’t have the stuff he needs to maintain his muscles etc. John asks Jamie about muscle soreness etc. Ashley says that he’ll have to start going to the gym after BB. Comm break.

1:31am: Still with the boys. Still talking muscles. John says he did weights for two months straight and didn’t really get much better at it, according to him not being able to lift higher weights. He says he could do more sets though. Jamie says that Dino always use to say he couldn’t do them when he could. Jamie use to tell him to try all the time. Jamie tells him that if you keep trying eventually it’ll become comfortable. Jamie tells the others how he went back to the gym after he felt he needed to. He says he slowly got better and better and lifting more weights, going 3 days a week. He says that they need to keep going and keep trying to get bigger weights etc. John says that he used to like going to the gym by himself, but he wouldn’t mind going with a partner now. Jamie is back talking about nominations. He says that he was called out last twice now on the list of nominees. John thinks it’s to build the suspense and get the suprise reaction. Ash says he’ll definitely get a membership when he gets out wherever he is. They make comment that they think they have all improved with the weights. Jamie says that if he went a week without weights he would get skinny as. Comm break.

1:48am: Boys are in the bathroom just getting ready for bed. They head to the bedroom. Lights are out in the bedroom. Everyone now seems settled in bed and the room is silent. At 1:51am, Dreamworld says goodnight.

Day 56

9.24pm – The housemates are brought up with a whistle call. They all take a dive. Camilla says good morning to the other housemates. Gaelan, who is wedged between his bed and the wall, thinks he took some skin off his knee taking a dive.

10.36am – Housemates are posed by the backyard goal. Big Brother says they have saved 14 balls, and let 9 balls into the goal. Gaelan opens the task result envelope, it says they were allowed to let 6 balls in. Krystal and Claire jump up and scream in excitement. Gaelan says “what!? we let in 9 goals… we lost”. The girls are dissapointed. Claire says they can’t fail its her birthday. Big Brother however gives them a second chance since their dives during the task were excellent. They must all take a penalty shot at the goals.

Katie stops the ball
Ashley stops the ball
Claire misses
Krystal misses
Rob misses
David stops the ball
Galean stops the ball
Jamie stops the ball
John misses

They must stop the next ball to pass the task.

Camilla stops the ball

The housemates all jump on Camilla and cheer. They sing “ole ole”.

BREAK

1.50pm – Jamie is sleeping. Katie and John are getting ready to run through an obstacle course they built. And they’re off: First they put on pyjama pants, then another layer of clothing, then crawl through a gap in the hammock (they fall over each other) then another layer of clothing. Then they must hop across the backyard on deck chair covers. Then they eat a full cup of dried chickpeas. Rob cheers them on to win. Katie coughs up her chickpeas. John looks like he’s going to vomit. Katie finishes, run backs to the hammock and picks up the winners belt. She says it wasn’t a good win.

Inside the girls wonder why Katie is doing it to herself. Krystal says they are all going mental. John needs to wash his mouth out with water. Katie chants out “loser!”.

2.33pm – Jamie is still sleeping. Camilla, Claire and Krystal all say Jamie has totally changed and is isolating himself from the other housemates. They think Katie and the nomination annoucement is causing it. Claire says they are just making it harder for themselves. They are confiding in themselves so much its making it harder for themselves on the outside.

2.34pm – Jamie is still sleeping. Katie is putting on clothes and he asks her to come sit with her. She says no because she’s going back outside. Jamie says he will just go back to sleep then. Katie tells him not to waste what could be his last days in the house. Jamie just doesn’t feel like doing anything. He eventually gets up and wonders outside where Katie is. Claire tells the other girls it will be so interesting to see how the couple lasts on the outside. Camilla adds that Jamie has been critical on the other housemates more than usual lately, but doesn’t want to go.

The sun is setting on the Big Brother house. Katie is getting cold as she sits with Jamie, who is again questioning his own behaviour. He said his tendancy is to know exactly who he likes and doesn’t. Its always the people who don’t like him that he doesn’t like back. Thats the reason he can tell who nominated him. He feels a little betrayed sometimes. Katie says he will never impress them so why bother. Jamie says he gave people the benefit of the doubt and its resulted badly. They couple hug but Jamie is still moping.

BREAK

5.10pm – John has been called to the diary room to be told off. He was talking badly of Big Brother earlier. He must go to the punishment room and peel oranges. But not before throwing some on the floor in anger. John takes this time alone to check his hair in the mirrors.

Outside the housemates are preparing for Claire’s animal themed party. Rob tells the other housemates not to stuff their faces with food immediately. He says its about being polite for Claire’s birthday – they should respect what she wants to do. Katie isn’t happy with Rob taking control of the party and goes to the diary room to talk about it. Rob wonders if he was a bit rude, Claire says no way – she doesn’t want to stress about things tonight. Camilla doesn’t think anyone left the dining room area because of Rob’s announcement. He says sorry to Katie across the house.

Camilla quietly tells Rob not to be so hard on Katie to be the messenger for the boys. Camilla adds she doesn’t have the strength to do that but Rob thinks she has plenty of strength in her mouth and can’t be picky about when she wants to assert it.

Katie goes into the diary room, and comments the room smells like oranges. She says today Jamie was very down.. but she thinks he’s out of it now, it will get better with the party. Today she realised she doesn’t like Rob, he’s very catty. “He’s… such a bitch!”.

Meanwhile in the bedroom Camilla tells Rob not the transfer his anger from certain people onto others. She suggests to isolate why he’s angry with some one and focus on that issue and try and find a way to bring it up, not take it out on other people. They have already discussed that there are people in the house who are over sensitive and the girls didn’t take it as an attack. Camilla says Katie is not the same… she’s a little sensitive.

Katie thinks that tonight or tomorrow Rob will go and have a bitch to everyone about her and/or Jamie.

Camilla says that three different people have told her the more they get to know Katie the less they like her. Camilla doesn’t agree with that however. Rob says that the more she hangs around with Jamie the less people like her. Camilla reminds him again not to transfer his anger so everyone, including him can have a better time.

Katie doesn’t want to let Rob “win” and get the better of her. She knows she’s a better person than him and thats enough for her… “I win”.

BREAK

6.24pm – Big Brother has given the housemates animal costumes.

John is a crocodile
David is a lorrikeet
Camilla is a lobster
Gaelan is a panda
Claire is leopard
Krystal is a butterfly
Rob is a gorilla
Katie is a kangaroo
Ashley is a chicken

The housemates go into the living room and find the food. They organise what they will eat first. They go to the BBQ and find all the “meat” is actually vegetarian. In the kitchen Camilla says to Katie she was in a bad mood earlier this week. Katie doesn’t think so – she was in a neutral mood. Camilla admits she is difficult to live with… but is cut off by Katie, who says she’s never met so much as difficult that she’s loved so much as Camilla. Camilla hugs her. Katie says its the most positive thing – she is drawn to Camilla “so much!”. Camilla hugs her again and says she really cares about Katie a lot. She hopes Katie isn’t evicted. They toast to themselves.

They move into the bedroom. Katie says on the outside things will move back to the way they used to be with guys – she has never been dependant or put herself on the line with guys. She doesn’t want things to change back. Camilla says once you go through something like this you won’t fall back into the same pattern as before. Camilla says Katie is the same as her only 2 or 3 years ago. Katie jokes “so I’m going to be an outspoken lobster in a few years time?”.

9.14pm – Claire tells all the housemates to act like the animals they are. The housemates all jump around like animals. Katie’s costume starts falling apart after the housemates jump around on her and bits lie everywhere. Rob’s gorllia impersonation is really accurate until Gaelan knocks him over.

Day 55

9.25pm – John and Claire run to the rewards room. Claire is excited and says she hasn’t been there in a long time. It’s Claire’s birthday. They quickly head towards the food – there is noodles, rice, meat and salad. Jamie and Katie are in the main house bathroom, and go into the sauna. They say the games were so close and Jamie almost had it. He lost the game when he had to whinge about Krystal as one of the Friday night games. Katie says it would have been easy to whinge about her: face, boobs etc.

David comes to the diary room. He says there is a sick little side of him that is thinking he knows two really deserving people to go into the rewards room and didn’t want Jamie and Katie to go into the rewards room.

In the bedroom Claire comments to Rob that Katie was giving Jamie too high a score as part of the Friday Night Games. Krystal compares it to her: she gave Gaelan a 3 becuase it was a fair score. Claire was annoyed at Katie’s score bias. Camilla is so glad Krystal is being truthful because she’s sick of people bullshitting in the house.

10.01pm – John and Claire eat and chat. Claire says she’s really comfortable with John and Krystal in the house. However if she needs to have a talk she will go to David, because he always has a story to tell. She can always laugh with Rob, he’s hilarious. She’s comfortable around Gaelan but you can’t really sit down and chat with him – its always about a prank or something like that. “He’s too into himself… guys who are just like him, like constantly concerned with his body shape.. he’s way too metro for me”. She doesn’t think Ashley is too bad – although he does care a little bit. Ever since she told him he looks good clean shaven he’s always done it, and now he cares about his hair. John says the gay guys in the house really like Ashley. Claire recalls a story when Rob went all fluttery when Ashley had just been in the room.

The straight boys Jamie and Ashley are in the sauna, and discuss Katie. They don’t think she will be evicted. Jamie says it will be a toughy. Ashley says if one of them left the other would want to go the next week. Jamie thinks it will be him this Sunday. He looks uncomfortable.

11.15pm – John asks Claire if she’d rather the 3 box prize or immunity. She says the chance at the box prize. John chooses box number 3. Claire says thats the number she would have picked. Big Brother confirms. Inside is a camera. John is all happy and Claire is happy for him.

BREAK

11.58pm – Jamie and Katie are in the living room. They have idle discussion about one of them leaving this Sunday. Jamie says there is a standard rule thats going to apply to this: they’re going to have to talk about their relationship on the outside because comparing the BB house to life in Perth is “chalk and cheese”. Katie doesn’t know what he’s talking about exactly: Jamie clarifies its going to be really different outside because they won’t be hanging around each other every day. Jamie thinks they should try it on the outside before anything else. He’s going to wait until they are on the outside together to see what happens – he’s not going to run amuck before then. He’s not going to fuck anything up until she’s out… then they will talk about it.

Jamie: I think you’ll be here for ages

Katie: Trust me I wont

John and Claire are in the rewards room, having a bath together. He asks her opinion on the Jamie/Katie issue. She thinks there are quite a few people upset with the couple. She explains her earlier concerns about Katie rating Jamie during the friday night games. However Claire says it was other people (doesn’t name anyone) who had these concerns, not her. She relays her thoughts about the couple but attributes them to “people around the house”, not herself. It doesn’t really matter because John agrees with everything Claire says. John thinks out of all the people the house has given the couple sufficient time to adjust to their nomination. Claire was dissapointed with their reaction to the nomination annoucement.

Jamie says to Katie that the people remaining in the house after them are “pretty shithouse”. He adds that Gaelan, John and Ash are special people, but no one else is. He doesn’t want to hang around with the other people, and says he will be nominated next week if he is not evicted this week. He reiterates his assurance of being evicted sooner rather than later. Katie says “oh well”.

12.22am – Claire and John are playing around with John’s camera. Big Brother annouces happy birthday to Claire. She cheers and runs around outside. Some of the other housemates go and give her a birthday hug. Claire shakes a bottle of champagne, then pops the cork while John takes a picture. The group take some photos.

Oops – Jamie’s bulge needs to be censored out in the camera photo.

Day 53 Uplate

11:13pm: John and Katie are outside cheering on Claire, who is keeping the goals. Claire asks Katie if she would ever consider radio as a career. Katie says she would love it, but says she hasn’t done anything like that as of yet. A Whistle sound blows through the BB compound, and all housemates fall to the ground and fake injuries. We see a heap of people in the bedroom, both bedrooms and also Ash and Jamie out in the living room. Finally the whistle sounds again and the bedroom people all go back to bed, while Jamie and Ash get back to the couch. Meanwhile, outside, Claire says she is pretty dirty at the moment ( I think her clothes she means!) They wonder how many they are allowed to miss before they fail the task. Claire thinks that they will have to have a maximum of 15 allowed through the net. They think the task will end tomorrow. They laugh at something BB said earlier, they say it was one of the funniest BB comments they’ve heard. Katie wants John to give Jamie something, but he won’t. John says that it’s a good time for him to be finishing his shift, he should be able to get a full nights sleep. They wonder if Jamie has lost weight in here; Katie thinks he has lost 5kg, but she tells them not to say anything. Mike cuts in, but we return outside. Claire wonders how much longer till the change. She thinks half an hour. Comm break.

11:28pm: Katie says she had a long sleep one night, perhaps for a previous task. It was, because John is talking about ex housemates helping out in the task for some reason. Claire says she was sick during that. Katie says she is tired. Katie complains she is going to have pimples for eviction. John says he had a ‘merlin’ for his. I think it’s code for a huge pimple. They start doing dog sounds to pass the time. BB decides it’s time to strike while they are not concentrating. Claire doesn’t stop it. Katie laughs, saying she didn’t see a thing. They help her out saying that they will tell the others it went in the top right corner, when in fact it was almost straight at her but a little low. They taunt the machine, asking it to throw another goal her way. Claire says, “Katie, your not standing here.” Claire says her reflexes are crap. John decides to head inside for a bit. They name Katie’s pimple ‘snake.’ Weird. John wants to change it to Sceeter, but everyone agrees on “Stuey”. John says he is pumped to have his time in the goals. Claire says she can’t say it. John says he is going to go inside and do the whistle sound and see if anything happens. We don’t head inside with him, so we have no idea of the result. Katie says that Jamie is going to have to wake up soon. Katie wants one more goal, but Claire doesn’t. John says that they didn’t move inside. He reckons they have half an hour before changeover. Claire says the ball could’ve at least gone slowly. John says the ball is always thrown when they are doing something stupid. Katie starts yelling in the hope a ball appears. Claire tells them to stop! Comm break.

11:46pm: Jamie has headed outside. He is talking up his chances of winning FNL. Katie tells him they can’t go on the same team. Jamie decides to have his V now because he’s going to be up for 3 hours. He takes a sip, and says it feels like home. Claire agrees, saying she always gets the bigger bottles for 2 for $5. Mike interrupts. Cut back again, and Claire is explaining to Jamie where the ball was when it passed her. Jamie says he is hoping for higher ones. Claire hums to herself. A plane is going overhead, and Claire says “Qantas.” Katie asks her if she can tell by the noise, and Claire says she can. Claire tells everyone that she just polluted the air. The boys are talking amongst themselves now, and the girls likewise. Hard to make out. Jamie is saying it’s good that Ash comes to talk to him about stuff. He says that Ash doesn’t open up to many people. I think it’s Ash they are talking about, not really sure. Krystal comes to the door and asks if she needs to bring doonas or anything when she comes out. They say she might need a doona, but they have blankets. Comm break.

12:03am: Krystal has come outside. They are trying to figure out how long Claire has been standing in the goals. Jamie is talking about the 12th Man soundtracks, who take the piss out of Channel 9’s Wide World of Sports. He mimics a bit of the tapes, and does a great job at it. Not too many laughs from the girls besides Katie though. Katie wonders if Jamie’s mum would hate her for her tongue ring. She says she would take it out. Jamie says that his mum wouldn’t care about that. Jamie says that they are going to go down to the local pub and have a beer together one day. Katie reckons they would get hassled heaps though. John and Claire swap! John seems pumped. He reckons he’ll save heaps. Krystal is the supporter now for John. Jamie says he made a great save yesterday, but right after it he swore, so he doesn’t think they will show it. Krystal thinks that if it was really good they would just beep it out. John reckons it’s 10 past 11 now, and he will go out at quarter to 1. John and Krystal are trying to decide who else they can use during the night and how it’ll work. Comm break.

12:18am: John wonders what Krystal would ask if she was able to ask BB one question about the outside world. After a bit of a think, she decides it’s too hard. Jamie says that if he goes this week he will have missed 9 rounds of AFL (incorrect). He says that sounds pretty good. Actually they clairify it a little and they are actually right. Krystal asks Jamie what 3 things he wrote down for BB to tell him about. He says he wrote “Death or injury to family or friends, and thats about it. Those were my exact words.” He says that he wrote all this stuff while he was drunk. John does a good save. He says he was lucky. Krystal says she had family death or unwell, and something about War, on her list. Jamie says he would’ve used the Danny Green/Mundine fight for his sporting event if he put it down. John reckons that Michael did write it down, but they are unsure whether he was told. They try and figure out when the fight was. They talk about how the punishment room was finally revealed in the 2nd week and how they always knew something was there. They start saying that they had people they always wanted to get further than them. Katie comes out and John tells her that he saved it. Katie stands in front of where the ball come from, and Jamie tells her to get out of the way. BB tells Katie to bring all the soccer balls to the diary room. Jamie is so pleased it was Katie and not him. Comm break.

12:35am: John and Krystal are talking about it would be weird if you knew someone else in the house. John says that if someone told BB he would be afraid of being evicted. Krystal says she found out her ex boyfriend applied. John says that he and Dino go to the same Uni, but they don’t know each other. Jamie says that he really tried to not talk to anyone at auditions because he didn’t want to run into anyone. They say that Dino and Gaelan use the same gym, and Gaelan and Anna hang around the same people! John says that Camilla’s sister went to his school. They comment on how small the world really is and the whole 6 degrees theory. Krystal says she believes it, and John agrees. John talks about how the high balls are easy for the keeper, but the low ones are harder. John says he wants another attempt now. They talk about what they can eat. Jamie says that his cat name is “Mewsli”, pronouced Muesil. They go through the words they all use when they throw up. Comm break.

12:51am: They are talking about who they would take the rewards room. John says he would probably take Claire, but he would also like to take Jamie. John says Ash would be good as well. Jamie agrees. Jamie says that sometimes people get mad at Jamie, and then he looks at Ash and thinks that he would never do that. Jamie says he can’t really talk to him much, and Krystal agrees, as well as John, but Jamie says that he is just good value to hang around. Jamie tells Krystal and John they have to come to WA. They say they want to see Ash outside the house as well. Comm break.

1:07am: Still out at the task. John saying that he called someone out who was being a dick, and Jamie says that he did change after that. It was Mikey they were talking about. Jamie says that if he goes he was only here for 3 more weeks than Mikey. John says he was suprised talking to Camilla last night that she rated Krystal very highly. Krystal says that they do spend a lot of time together. Krystal says you have to be blunt with Camilla sometimes, but she says that Camilla respects that. Comm break.

1:23am: Krystal and Jamie are talking about star signs. Riverting. Talk about that for 2 minutes, before Mike decides it’s too boring and pulls it back to the studio. Comm break.

1:32am: OMG. Still talking about star signs. Even John is getting into it. John says that a lot of his friends are Taurus’s, and he is too (and me!). Krystal says that in her town there is really only two people she doesn’t like. Jamie and John reckon 10 more minutes should see John’s shift over. Gaelan has also come out as well. They say Rob is the next one that’ll have to come out, then Dave. At 1:36am, Dreamworld says goodnight.
