Day 95

Posted on

8.42am – Vesna is up and cooks porridge for everyone. Nadia is looking tired and annoyed this early in the morning. Tim confesses… he thinks he might be in love with Vesna (jokingly). Vesna tells him to stop toying with her emotions, and everyone at the kitchen table giggles. Tim asks why Vesna was looking at Greg when she said that. Vesna rejects what Tim is implying by saying “Greg is just an object”. There is a brief gasp of Jerry-Springer style “oooh”, and Greg says “I don’t want to be an object… I’m not an alpaca”. Tim goes along with the joke, telling Greg that everything will be ok. Vesna corrects what she said before: “you’re an object of my desire… is that better?”.

11.26am – Nadia is ready for a morning of sunbathing. She struts her stuff while walking out of the bedroom in a bikini. Tim shows how impressed he is, as do Vesna and Greg when Nadia comes outside. Nadia is wearing high boots with her bikini and Greg says she looks like Lara Croft. Vesna comments its been really really good with Nadia in the house. Tim jokes that he is Nadia’s favourite in the house. Vesna doesn’t quite catch what he said and demands to know what they were talking about. Tim is called to the diary room. Inside he finds a polaroid camera, film and an empty photo frames. BB tells them they are to be used to prepare a gift for Nadia. When Tim emerges he tries to hide the camera under his shirt but Vesna spots it and screams “what is it what is it! It’s a radio.. it’s a radio!”. Tim eventually reveals it’s a camera, Vesna and Nadia seem amused.

BREAK

1.43pm – The housemates are taking photos in the bowling alley. Nadia is posing with bowling balls and Vesna’s green fluffy scarf. Later she poses in the showers with Nadia and Greg on either side. Nadia takes the opportunity to shake her body around. Next she poses in the bedroom with some fruit.. and the boys of course. Next it’s outside on the “beach”. Nadia is next to Vesna and a mini Australian flag eating Vegemite on toast. Next it’s in the pool with Tim and Greg jumping out of the water on either side of Nadia. Finally the eviction stairs, strippers pole and diary room. Vesna comments that Nadia really knows how to pose well for sexy photos. When they finish Big Brother annouces Nadia will be leaving the house in half an hour.

3.33pm – Tim puts on a serious face and tells Nadia he hopes he won’t offend her by what he’s about to say next: he wants to check her bag to see if she’s stealing anything. Vesna bursts out laughing at the joke. Greg and Tim go look through her bag and “find” a bunch of bananas. Vesna jokes “I can’t believe you Nadia!”. Everyone is full of laughs. Nadia says she has a problem with stealing things.

26 minutes later – Nadia is in the living room with her mini Australian flag to say final goodbyes. Tim gives Nadia her present – the framed photos taken earlier. Nadia says she will treasure it for a long, long time. She gives them all a hug and a kiss. The HMs wish her a good trip. Big Brother announces it’s time for Nadia to leave the Big Brother house. Another round of hugs and kisses. Vesna thanks Nadia for her support. Nadia tells them to “keep it going” as she leaves up the eviction stairs. There is an emptyness once she is left and the housemates don’t know what to do with themselves. They scatter into different directions.

BREAK

5.51pm – It’s family discussion time, but Big Brother has given the housemates a letter: tonight the discussion topics have been set by relatives of the remaining housemates. Vesna’s best friend asks “coming from a strict ethnic background, was it a shock to be living with so many boys? Do you feel you understand the aussie male ego a bit better?”. Vesna says there is a lot of “mate” type of behavior, and she would like to be less of a mate – she still doesn’t understand the aussie male. Tim’s Dad asks “has it been as easy to fit in with your housemates as you’d thought?”. Tim answers no – it was rocky at the begining and he didn’t expect to clash with people so suddenly. He didn’t expect the confrontation with the other boys in the house. Vesna says he has kept very resiliant while in the house. Tim feels he has fit in with everyone, yet clashed with a select few. Vesna thinks Tim is very flexible like that. Greg’s friend asks “do you underestimate any housemates who have surprised you?”. The only thing Greg underestimated was the friendships he formed in the house: especially Tim. He didn’t think he’s have such a good friendship with Christie. Greg found Vesna interesting – he didn’t think she’d be able to cope… he thought she would walk out by now. Vesna agrees – she didn’t expect to come this far either. Being in the final three is a big thing for her. Greg re-reads the letter, and emphasises the part about seeing relatives again in less than a week. Vesna puts her hands over her face.

7.19pm – The housemates are watching Nadia’s goodbye message in the living room.

“Big Brother I really cannot stand this anymore, I cannot stand it any further I want to get out of here. I mean who are these people you have in the house? They haven’t even made an effort to get to know me. And I just pretend to be happy and smiling I cannot take this anymore Big Brother please get me out of here. I need to get out of here I cannot stand it anymore. I’m going to go and pack… get me out of here”.

Vesna and Tim have been gasping thoughout the message. Greg says that Nadia is only joking, but Vesna is not so sure. On the video screen Nadia leaves to go pack, then after a short silence, jumps back onto the screen:

“ooohkaaaay. Little old Nadia here. Guys… I love you all really, Tim you are kind you are funny. Very intelligent I like that very much. Greg my god I love your bread – there’s more than I like than just your bread but thats a different story there. You’re absolutely gorgeous and I’m glad I met you. Ves you are everything you could possible have in a person and if I may say so we are very similar: we have the drama we have the passion we have the highs and lows. You’re funny and you’re very interesting people. Thank you so much for embracing me in your house and taking me in. I had a great time. I love you all, and hopefully you will come and see me in the UK”

BREAK

8.46pm – Housemates are in the bedroom getting ready for sleep. Vesna asks if they will have an exciting day tomorrow – and if Tim has a schedule. Tim is very systematic in getting his bed ready for him to sleep in it. Vesna commentates. Tim moans in relief at lying down. Greg comments they are almost out of toilet paper. They talk jobs today – Greg and Tim vote to swap chores so Vesna gets all the bad ones. They turn in and BB turns off the lights.

9.54pm – Vesna is crying. Greg asks her if she is ok. Vesna is quite upset and declines to sleep with Greg. He gets up and comes to see her anyway. Vesna says she is scared, so scared. “I thought I was going to be out of here a long time ago and I’ve come this hard its hard. I don’t know whether the whole thing is positive. Nothing ever comes my way I always have to work so bloody hard for it. I hope my family is happy, thats all I want”. Tim comes over to see Vesna too and Ves asks if he is scared too. He is unsure – they have been in the house so long they get used to it. Tim says she is worrying for the sake of it – everything will be ok. Vesna explains she got that from her mother. The experience will change her, and Greg adds “for the good”. Vesna seems to be ok now and tells them to go to bed because they have things to do tomorrow. She declines another offer to sleep with one of the boys. Before leaving the boys smother her with kisses on the head. Vesna cracks up laughing.

12:08am: Talking about Kylie Minogue. Tim reckons every song she sings is catchy. Logan Greg is called to the diary room. He is there to collect a 3 mobile, where he play Cubed against Axel Whitehead who is in the studio. He comes out to the dinner table and sits against the wall as instructed. The other housemates are told by Greg to sit down as well. Greg explains that he tried to play the game earlier today, and didn’t tell anyone about it. Game One begins and for some reason we get the audio of the damn studio. Smart! Greg beats Axel in round one, 28 to 6. Round 2 is a little bit more competitive. Vesna is interested in talking to this person rather than Greg playing the game. Vesna reckons if you touch a button you can see the other person playing. Axel wins round two. Mike says that if Greg wins, they will get a suprise from Big Brother. Greg is talking to himself saying “Shit, c’mon…Axel got some points on me this round”. Nadia seems very bored, asking what the point is of them sitting at the table with him. They decide to rematch – this is the most boring television I’ve ever seen. Vesna cheers Greg on, as he takes the lead. Greg wins, and they decide it’s the decider, so the housemates will get a suprise. Big Brother asks Greg to return the phone to the diary room. Greg says he thinks he won, Big Brother confirms this. Greg says that Axel did well. Big Brother says that for his prize, he can do a battery change. Greg laughs. He tells the housemates back in the house proper. Can’t hear a word they are saying, all of them sitting there together on the couch removing batteries.

12:37am: Everyone back on the couch. Greg and Vesna both tell Nadia that Tim wakes up early every morning so he casn put a heap of shit in his mouth so he can speak it all day. Nadia says she thinks Tim always has to be the smartest person in the room. Nadia says that Tim takes big breathes. Tim says that perhaps they can do a trial to see up to what point his breathing is acceptable for Nadia. Everyone has a laugh. Vesna says the game on the mobile phone was bizzare. Greg says he thinks it was more for Axel, the phone player. Greg says he won though, and Ves says he always does. Greg says he lost $20,000 on Friday night. Housemates look tired as hell, and sit on the couch in silence.

12:50am: Greg says he hears a slight clicking sound every now and then. Tim agrees, and they say that they keep thinking it’s BB about to talk to them. Greg thinks Nadia will go tomorrow, being Wednesday. Vesna agrees. Vesna thinks that Nadia will choose two people who will be up for eviction. Greg doesn’t think they would tamper with the format in the final week. Vesna says that Nadia will be doing it hard without cigarettes. Tim says that people say it’s harder to give up cigarettes then heroin. Tim says he knew what to expect when he quit and he pushed through it. Greg asks if he had a couple along the quitting cycle, and he says no, saying that he has made the decision for life now. Tim says he saw Barry Humphreys on Denton one night saying that he drank heavily until he was in his early 20’s before giving up and has never drunk since. Tim says that Humphreys said that he is always going to be an alcoholic, because if he has another drop he knows he’ll want more. They talk about binge drinking, and Greg and Tim explain the concept to Vesna who doesn’t understand.

1:08am: Vesna is waiting to go to the diary room. Greg wants to wash a spoon, but in the process puts the tap on too much and makes a mess on the floor. Greg says he liked the game, and says it would’ve been for Uplate. Tim is now at the sink. Vesna is in the diary room and silence continues.

1:22am: Vesna looks at what Nadia is sleeping in and says it’s nice. Vesna says she can’t get that stuff cause she is fat. Nadia says that is rubbish. Nadia wants to know about the prizemoney. Vesna tells her it’s a million. She goes onto say that it would buy 2 nice houses in Australia. Nadia is suprised. Tim tells Nadia that the average wage would be under $50,000 a year, so it’s 20 years wage. He goes onto say that it would be about 500,000 pounds, which is WAY OFF. More like 400,000. Tim goes back to doing the dishes.

1:34am: Vesna says she thinks it’s bad that Greg has known her for so long and won’t share a bed with her, but will sleep with Nadia who he has known for 2 days. Nadia comes back to bed. Greg wants her to scare Tim after he comes out of the diary room. Nadia gets into bed and Greg says he’ll get up, but he doesn’t. They talk about microphones in the UK house. Nadia says that BB never directed it at housemates, but rather as a group to check their mics. Vesna says she needs to go to the toilet. Greg thinks of Timmy as the kid in the wheelchair off South Park. Nadia has no idea what he is talking about. They talk onto impersanating the guy from Police Academy, and Nadia starts laughing a lot. Greg says Tim will be in the diary room for a year, saying he is having his medication. Nadia wonders what the medication is, and so we’re taken to a break!

1:45am: Greg talks about his most sexual encounter, which involved doing a girl from behind. Vesna asks if he used protection. He says he did. He says she was a Swedish girl, aged about 25. Tim comes into do a battery change again, I don’t know why. Vesna says she has never let anyone do her from behind. He starts talking about a UK girl who he met somewhere else. He says she was a beautiful, attractive girl. He says he met her family and everyone because they were on holiday there with family. The girl told her to stay and they would pay for a flight home or something. Greg says he decided against it, he had mates to finish their trip in Bangkok etc. Greg said the last night he stayed with her he had sex with her in ‘many a places’.

1:56am: Tim shuts the bedroom door, and then leans on Vesna’s bed, and Vesna tells him she has farted. He says he doesn’t believe her anymore. Tim asks Nadia if she could do 13 weeks in a house. Nadia says she surely could if she had done 10. Vesna wonders if there are similarilaties between Vesna and Nadia. Tim thinks so, and starts listing some thing. Vesna soon tells him to shut up. Nadia says she has become really comfortable in the house. She says she feels like she has been here longer than she has. Tim goes and gets blankets, and offers oneto Vesna but she doesn’t want one. Tim starts putting them on his bed, and Vesna tells Nadia to look to see how many he puts on his own bed. Tim and Greg have a little play fight, making Nadia sit forward while they fight. Tim climbs into their bed, and they all lie there together. Tim wishes they had some chicken. Tim tells another made up story but Nadia has cottoned on and realises he is making it up. Vesna wonders if Nadia will eat porridge tomorrow.

Day 94

Posted on

12.41pm – Housemates are sunbathing and Nadia comments it’s quite warm. Tim says “imagine what its like in summer”. Tim then asks “is that a snake?”. Nadia jumps up screaming and Tim laughs. Vesna says there are no snakes, a snake would never get into the house. Tim has previously convinced Nadia the house is surrounded by blood sucking bats. Nadia sees a magpie and asks if it is one of the bats Tim was talking about. Tim says no – the bats are out at night and can suck your blood without you even knowing it – like a mosquito. Greg explains he used to be a “swoosher” at Sydney airport. His job was to swoosh Kangaroos and Koalas from the runway so planes could land and take off. Tim says he would carry a rifle to school as a young child to shoot kangaroos and koalas if they get in the way and tried to attack you. He says they play in numbers and had to be shot sometimes. Everyone took rifles to school. Vesna says they are lying, Greg chuckles. Nadia says “oh my god!”. Nadia says she will ask to leave now. Tim jokes “make sure you take your rifle out there”.

1.17pm – Vesna has prepared some lunch, but only with a staple budget. Tim says she has done a great job with the food.

45 minutes later – Vesna and Tim start rowing about doing the dishes, and the cake fight last night. Tim comments they had to do a lot to get the cake out of hair and bed. Vesna can’t believe Tim is being such a prick this week. Tim says he has tried so hard to discuss this with her and she continues to “do it”. Vesna wants to know what “it” is. Tim says she shouldn’t have thrown cake last night. Her ability to switch from happy to angry and silly is annoying and Tim can’t handle it when he’s tired. He doesn’t get pleasure from being agressive and rude – last night she was exceedingly aggressive. Tim didn’t find it funny one big. Vesna is silent as she looks down at her plate.

BREAK

2.38pm – Tim is closing the bedroom door so he and Vesna can talk inside privately. Nadia wonders what that was all about. Greg says he doesn’t know – probably just one of those chats with Vesna. He explains Vesna goes up and down. Meanwhile Tim is explaining all the arguments being caused by Vesna – it’s a pressure cooker. They are getting on each other’s nerves – its going to happen. Tim has tried to do the best to welcome Nadia and wanted her to feel happy. Vesna says its difficult and she can’t ask any more of the housemates.

3.48pm – The housemates all go to feed the animals. Tim tries to trick Nadia about seeing a snake again but she doesn’t fall for it. Vesna introduces Nadia to the Alpaca but Nadia gets scared when she learns the Alpaca spits. Greg says Nadia should walk to the Alpaca. She walks around with Greg, and he warns the Alpaca will run on the way back to the pen. As warned the Alpaca runs back to the pen and Nadia laughs and screams. Vesna says Nadia has a lot of guts. Greg tries to scare Nadia for a second and they all scream. Tim is now showing Nadia his trick where the goats jump onto his back. Greg does it too. Nadia says they can go to the circus. Greg and Tim seem to have a goat balancing competition going on.

BREAK

4.56pm – Housemates are quite sleepy, and start snoozing on the lounge. Big Brother annouces that Tim and Nadia, who are trying to sleep, must go and wash the windows in the garden. Vesna explains its because they were sleeping. Nadia says she doesn’t even wash her own windows, and won’t do the Big Brother windows. Vesna laughs. Nadia gets up and has some bread and butter with Vesna. Tim goes outside to wash the windows. Big Brother annouces that Nadia must assist Tim. Nadia says she won’t do it, much to the entertainment of Vesna who laughs. Nadia asks Tim if he needs help, he says no. Nadia sits down with a drink before Big Brother calls her to the diary room.

In the diary room BB says by agreeing to enter the house, Nadia has agreed to the house rules. Nadia waves her finger at Big Brother and says she will do rules but will not do cleaning. She reminds BB she is not a housemate, but rather a visitor. BB says she is a visitor AND a housemate. Nadia’s response is clear: she will not do the windows. Tim meanwhile is cleaning alone. Nadia asks BB if she can leave the diary room. BB asks if she will be cleaning the windows. Nadia says she will be going outside. BB asks what she will be doing outside. Nadia says she will be an assistant to Tim. Nadia comes outside and asks Tim which windows he has cleaned. Nadia grabs a bucket and lets out a big growl. She hits the windows with the cleaning brush and says “now I’m a scrubber”.

7.14pm – Vesna is lying on her bed looking sleepy. Big Brother says the main glass doors must be cleaned. Vesna sighs and says at least give her something useful to do. Nadia, Tim and Greg are in the spa and Tim explains that Vesna must have been sleeping. Vesna cleans the windows quickly and goes into the diary room. She asks BB why he made her wash them. He says they were dirty. Vesna says no she was sleeping – are they going to make her clean every time she closes her eyes. Vesna says there is nothing to do or eat in the house, they are only on staples. BB plays dumb and asks why they are on staples. Vesna says they are on staples because BB treated her like an animal during the task and she broke their chains. Vesna asks BB if she can sleep, but BB just says “that is all”. Vesna storms back into the bedroom and lies down on her bed, eyes closed. Greg comes in and asks if she’s ok. Vesna is upset she only fell asleep for 5 seconds and BB made her clean. Vesna says BB is just out to get them. Greg lies next to her and offers to cook dinner tonight. Vesna cries and says there is nothing to do in the house. Greg says they are going to have a sauna and then will work out something for dinner. He leaves the bedroom while Vesna continues crying.

BREAK

9.16pm – Nadia has come to the diary room. BB asks how she is getting along with the other HMs. Nadia says she is comfortable and at ease with the HMs – they are wonderful. Meanwhile Greg is planning to scare Nadia when she comes out of the diary room by hiding under a blanket. In the diary room Nadia says something about each housemate:

Tim – very intellectual, very deep in his thoughts and beliefs. Almost like a geek but a cool geek. Very nice.

Greg – eye candy, big muscles and lovely to look at. Again quite young. A fun guy. Lovely.

Vesna – something that I’m not intimidated back but there are similarities in our personalities. Dominating and in your face and loud. Underneath she is quite vunerable and insecure most times.

Nadia says overall she is very surprised. She then comes out of the diary room and Tim distracts her for a second while Greg jumps out of the blanket and yells. Nadia screams and laughs, and grabs Tim.

1.53pm – Nadia is asking Tim if he could spend the entire time in the house with her. He thinks so. Vesna asks if her and Tim are very similar. They both love seafood. Tim says they both have two ears. Nadia says she feels really comfortable with them. Tim says its because they are very Australian, but Vesna doesn’t think so. Tim says she just disagrees for no reason “NO TIM!”. Vesna says they’re at the stage where they’re quite loose. Tim comes into the bedroom with extra blankets and Vesna explains she hates the extra blankets. Vesna says no one needs them. Tim jumps into bed with Greg and Nadia and starts hugging Greg. He starts joking that Greg missed Tim in his bed. Greg starts wrestling and pushing Tim away, which also pushes Nadia. Vesna tells them to stop. Randomly Tim says “I wish we had chickens”.

Day 93 Uplate

11:54pm: Everyone is in the spa. Nadia wonders what is wrong with the guys as neither have any hair on their chest. Tim reminds Nadia that they have a sauna as well, but Nadia doesn’t want to spend too much time in there because of her hair or something. Tim asks them all if they want to go to the sauna. It seems not, as they stay where they are. Nadia starts saying, and it takes Tim 30 seconds to understand what she said, and then he relays it onto Greg and Ves. Nadia tells them how she felt when she came out of the UK house, saying she was screaming and shouting etc. Tim asks her about her family, but Nadia tries to learn about their families. Tim starts talking about his parents, his Dad a prosecutor and his Mum a pyschologist, and his sister wants to do speech pathology. Greg starts talking about his family, and his upbringing now. They start talking about Conola Oil for some reason, perhaps it’s made in Wagga. Vesna tells her you put it on when you sunbake, explaining it to Nadia. SHe says they’ll both put some on tomorrow. Nadia starts wondering who they liked in the house. She learns that Tim liked Kate, Vesna liked Dean but he was taken, and Greg had a relationship with Christie in the house. He says she was very free will. Greg says he’ll see what happens on the outside, he doesn’t know. Tim says that Christie liked Greg a bit more than the other way round. They start talking about Angela and then wonder if they are allowed to talk about it – and then we’re taken away anyway.

12:09am: Still talking about Angela, because they are talking about her speed dating business, and explaining how speed dating works. Nadia has never done it. They turn to Gianna, saying she was attractive, from SA. Tim says she didn’t really fit in, saying she was a sexual girl, but quite immature about it. He then think’s about it, and perhaps takes it back, but decides that it is fair. They talk about Michael, who they dub the ‘gentle giant’. They say that he was a very sexual person. Vesna says he is a great guy, saying he’s not dead. Move onto Michelle, who they say was very attractive. Greg says he didn’t get to know her that well. Vesna agrees, saying it was hard to get to know. Vesna says she pissed her off a bit. They start talking about Glenn, and Nadia wonders whether he had the big penis, but they quickly tell her that it was Dean. Nadia says “I’m obsessed with Dean now!” They say that Glenn was very relaxed, and Vesna says she took away from his eviction the knowledge that the public wants to see every single emotion from housemates. They move onto Hotdogs. Vesna says that he was her best friend.

12:25am: Greg is talking about how they didn’t know when it was finishing, and it was frustrating. Nadia says her version she knew when it would end. They talk about how you can smoke in BBUK and how they can buy smokes from the weekly budget. Vesna says it’s very limited here in Australia, especially concerning what they can say. Vesna doesn’t see why they couldn’t have made a smoke room here in this house. Nadia talks about how she survived, saying friends in the house gave her cigarettes all the time.

12:39am: Nadia says she doesn’t believe in regrets. She says she wouldn’t have done anything differently because she won. Tim says thats a smart way to look at it! Tim wonders what they will do for the next few days. They say a task will be given to them tomorrow. Vesna thinks that Nadia will only be in the house for 48 hours because she is a smoker. Vesna wants to ask Nadia a question but she is a bit shy about asking. She says she is going to build up to the question with a series of other questions. They just come out and ask her about her sexuality. She says they just need to know! They beat around the bush for a sec, and then Vesna asks whether she was a woman when she came out of the womb. Nadia says she wasn’t, and then she gets a bit worked up asking why Vesna had to know. Vesna says she likes honesty in the house. Unfortunately, comm break cuts us off.

12:50am: Back finally. Tim talking to Nadia. Tim says he has treated with Nadia as a person and had a wonderful night. He says that he wasn’t as interested to know as Vesna (Vesna has obviously left the spa). He says that he would have preferred Vesna to ask later or wait until Nadia raised it. Nadia says she shouldn’t have to talk about it. Nadia says she see’s no revelance to talk about, and would never raise the issue. Sorry, Vesna is there. Tim says that had she told them at anytime he would have been comfortable hearing it. Nadia says she is glad she had the guts to ask, but then again she doesn’t see the need to raise the issue. Tim says had he raised it, he would have done it privately. Vesna and Nadia laugh, saying that it’s in front of millions. Nadia says she feels insulted because in the UK no one mentioned it for 75 days, but a few hours into her stay here it’s already been raised. Vesna says there are tough things in life and you have to deal with them. Nadia thinks it’s the alcohol talking. Vesna says she admires her. Nadia says she doesn’t need admiration. Nadia cries a little bit. Nadia says that Vesna will never look at her the same way again, although Vesna doesn’t really agree. Comm break again.

1:05am: Greg and Tim have gone into the pool. Vesna and Nadia are talking in the spa, but you can’t make it out because Tim & Greg seem to be yelling in the pool. They were having a fight in the pool on the big rock chairs. Vesna says that Greg should go naked. Nadia asks her if she is attracted to him. Vesna says that Greg reminds her of her ex boyfriend. Vesna tells Greg to take off her boardies again, and Greg wants some money before he does. Greg asks Timmy if he would do it! Tim says he doesn’t have anything underneath so he can’t take them off. Vesna asks her about the boys in the UK. Vesna says she would have been evicted over there.

1:17am: Vesna thinks Greg looks ill and should retire. Greg asks her again if she will go in the sauna. She says she is very picky about her hair, hating it going curly. Vesna says she doesn’t have to go in there. They talk about the pool, and Vesna says she never dives in. Tim is yelling out for help and Ves says “Shut up Tim, your making me sick.” Vesna goes to the pool for the third time tonight to pee. She says smiling “I’m peeing”. Lovely. Tim now wants to go to the sauna. Vesna says thats how she raises issues. Nadia has gone outside. Vesna says she knows what Tim is saying, but thats just the way she handles things. They decide to end the conversation there, and talk about breakfast in the morning. Everyone is now back in the spa.

1:32am: Timmy and Vesna are cuddled up to each other in the spa. Vesna wonders if Nadia is tired and wants to go to bed. They say that they all got new sheets because she came. They say that Nadia should sleep by herself because Tim snores, Vesna farts and Greg does weird things! Vesna says that sometimes the double beds are actually singles stuck together, it’s an illusion. Amazing, the things you learn on Day 94! Tim again suggests a sauna! Vesna says she doesn’t want one now. Now Vesna decides they should go in the sauna, and she tells Nadia to come with her. Vesna says they have to talk with their microphones and also that Nadia should leave her shoes at the spa because Ves wants to steal them. Greg and Tim slowly get out and get a bit dry before too making their way to the sauna. Greg says he can’t believe Ves bought it up. Tim says she can’t resist. Tim says people want to be treated like a person. Greg gets a couple of beers out of the freezer as we cut to a break.

1:43am: Nadia says if she is talking rubbish to just not listen to her. They talk about how Nadia coming into the AU house came about. She says she got the call on the Friday to be asked to do it, and left on the Saturday and arrived today. Nadia says she cancelled a few things so she could do it. She goes onto say she was excited. She thinks Big Brother has a soothing voice, compared to a loud BB in the UK. Vesna says that Nadia makes them feel very lucky. Tim says that BBUK sounds like torture. Nadia says it was “Evil” BB. She says the compound was also smaller than previous years. They think about going to bed, everyone is very tired. Nadia says she wants to sunbake. Tim says that he’s tired because they did half a marathon. Vesna says she cooked all day as per usual. Greg joins them, after talking to BB. Vesna wonders if he asked if Greg was a dickhead. Greg says BB already knows he’s a dickhead. Vesna tells Nadia that she went into Greg’s bed topless waiting for something to happen and nothing did. Greg and Vesna start slapping each other, in a playful mood. Tim is half asleep yawning away. Vesna tells Nadia that she kissed Greg’s brother, and that it sent shivers down his spine. Greg says that Ves does nothing for him. Vesna and Tim leave, and Greg talks about hen they run out of toilet paper BB makes them do plays lately, and Greg explains that Tim is a writer. Greg says that when he leaves the house, he might go back and work on the family farm. He says he doesn’t know what to expect when he leaves.

8.54pm – All housemates are called to the store room. Inside they find a dinner with places for each of them to sit. Vesna screams in excitement and says “what can I steal from here”. Tim pulls out a chair for Nadia who sits at the head of the table. He offers to serve her. Nadia says she will be expecting desert. Vesna sarcastically says “oh so I suppose I’ll have to serve myself” but declines Tim’s help when he offers it. She says he is sucking up as usual which makes Nadia laugh. Tim toasts to both the lovely ladies in the house, and their guest in the house. Greg congrats Nadia on winning BBUK last year. Later Vesna asks Tim for some cake, but he cuts her a too big slice, and she complains. Nadia goes to leave for the toilet and Tim offers to show her where it is. As soon as they leave Vesna starts laughing to Greg and says “she’s a guy!”. Greg agrees. Vesna says she can’t hold it in, she has to say something. Vesna is trying to hold it in. She wants Nadia to just admit she is a guy. Nadia meanwhile is going into the toilet and Tim wonders if she can make her way back – Tim say she will wait for her but instead runs back to the store room.

When he comes in he starts laughing and Greg jokes if Tim got her number. Vesna asks him if he knew she’s a guy. Tim says of course, and then tells Vesna off for making it a big issue. They all agree they like Nadia however, and say she is funny and smart. Tim runs back inside and offers Nadia a glass of water. Vesna wonders if she (herself) has a moustache, and asks Nadia if she (herself) has one after Nadia re-joins them. Nadia asks Vesna why she is asking that. Vesna was just wondering. Nadia says sometimes your skin pigmentation is different. She looks uncomfortable all of a sudden.

BREAK

10.42pm – Housemates are still having a dinner party in the store room. Greg gives Nadia his nameplacer. Vesna says it took 3 months for her to get anything out of Greg. Nadia says its because she’s blonde. Vesna agrees and says she is blonde… and skinny. Nadia jokes they don’t want to see her when she takes her clothes off. Nadia says women are sometimes so self-critical it gets ridiculous because most guys don’t care. Vesna doesn’t think Greg is like that – she hasn’t met anyone who has been so big on physical qualities. She says he doesn’t see from the shoulders up only the shoulders down. Vesna feels her face has no relevancy for him. Greg is slightly annoyed and they will talk about it later.

Big Brother calls Nadia to the diary room, she swears. Tim walks Nadia to the diary room. Nadia says they will have a bikini session when she gets back. Vesna says she will go through Nadia’s bags, and Nadia laughs. After Nadia leaves Vesna says Nadia brings out a lot of things in the housemates, and it has brought out more to discuss with Greg. Vesna feels Greg only finds the most plain, boring, insecure girls attractive – ones that don’t have any balls or anything to say. When he meets girls who are loud he pulls back. Greg says its just intimidation. Vesna says she feels like he’s scared of her. Tim returns, and wonders whats going on. Vesna explains she is finding it hard to be accepted in this house with Greg’s standards. Greg thinks he is doing well to get along with Vesna. Tim tries to interject – he says Greg tries and whether Vesna has feelings for him or not, don’t get stuck into him just because of small things like this. There is only 1 week to go and they should enjoy it. Vesna repeats that Nadia has brought up many things Vesna would have otherwise kept to herself. Tim says Greg respects her and loves her. Vesna wants to hear it from Greg himself, not via Tim.

Nadia returns, and the housemates wonder if she got her luggage. Vesna can’t wait to go through Nadia’s belongings. Tim jokes that when Vesna says “your luggage”, she means “my luggage”.

BREAK

12.40am – Housemates are in the spa, and Vesna begins to ask Nadia about her sexuality. She explains she is trying to not offend Nadia. She needs Tim to help her find the words for a second. Nadia says she isn’t comfortable with the word ‘sexuality’. Vesna asks “were you a woman at the time you came out of the womb”. Vesna says she is uncomfortable with that and they can now move on. Nadia asks if it had any relevance. Vesna says not in the way she thought or spoke about her. Vesna proceeds to dig herself into a hole about the issue. Nadia doesn’t find the conversation comfortable or necessary but says at least Vesna had the guts to ask. Tim jumps in and basically repeats what Vesna said just with bigger words and better grammar. He says “to me you are a person”. Nadia says it is hard to be catagorised. Vesna says there are tough things in life and Nadia has to deal with that. Nadia says she is a survivor. Tim goes to comfort Nadia by putting his hand on Nadia, but she doesn’t like that. Vesna hovers over Nadia, who now has tears in her eyes. Nadia asks at what point do you stop being catagorised and actually become a woman. She wants to just move on, but feels guitly for making it a big issue. The other HMs say its fine.

Tim says he would have approached the issue differently. Vesna agrees and says sorry, then jokes that the other boys didn’t stop her. Tim and Greg, to break the ice, say they will do a special show for Nadia. They do flips into the swimming pool. Vesna asks Nadia if she is angry with her. She says she’s not. Vesna wants to hug Nadia but she knows Nadia doesn’t like that. Tim and Greg are now having a competition – who can stay standing the longest on stools floating on the pool. Greg wins while Nadia watches from the spa and laughs.

BREAK

2.16am – Vesna complains she can hear Tim breathing from so far away. Tim says she is annoying him and he wants to puke. There is a point where Vesna can just stop talking. Vesna says she will and stomps around the kitchen to get some cake. Tim yells “Vesna stop eating the cake”. Vesna rubs some cake into Tim’s face and runs into the bedroom laughing. Nadia checks whats going on and laughs. Tim gets some cake out of the fridge and rubs it all through Vesna’s hair. She screams and tries to wrestle Tim. Vesna asks Greg why didn’t he warn her. Greg said he tried to tell Tim to stop.

3.07am – Tim and Greg are in the bathroom. Tim says Vesna is an idiot – she was just trying to get him annoyed earlier in the kitchen. Sometimes she’s dramatic and funny but sometimes she’s just annoying – thats why he had to return with more cake. Greg agrees. Vesna meanwhile is in the bedroom putting on a blindfold to sleep. Greg starts complaining about Vesna’s accusation he only looks at body. He says “how dare she say that”. Greg says his ex girlfriend and Christie were nothing like what Vesna described he liked. Vesna walks into the bathroom in the middle of Greg’s sentence, but doesn’t catch on. She asks why they are yelling in the bathroom – she could hear it from the bedroom. Tim says he is annoyed with her and doesn’t want to talk to her – just wants to talk to Greg right now. Vesna storms out and Greg calls her a 10 year old. Vesna gets straight into bed with her blindfold.

Tim and Greg leave the bathroom shortly after and says he will be sleeping in the same bed as Nadia tonight. Tim asks if he is ok with that. Greg says yes. In the bedroom Greg gets into bed and asks Nadia if she has enough pillows. After lights go out Greg tells Nadia to enjoy her first night sleep in Australia. Nadia doesn’t really want to talk right now – she mumbles out a tired “mmhrm”.

Day 92

Posted on

12.11pm – Tim and Greg are playing soccer in the backyard. Vesna is sunbathing and scared they will accidentally hit her with the ball. She whinges she doesn’t want to move or be hit by the ball. Tim puts extra bean bags around her to stop balls rolling onto her. But Vesna is not happy – balls can still hit her. Tim says it’s lowering the chances of a ball hitting her. Vesna says its so embarrasing she is being barrackaded. There are lots of beanbags and outdoor stools around her. The boys continue playing soccer once it is safe for Vesna. Tim tries to hit the ball near Vesna, Greg slips on it and then hits a ball onto the wall surrounding Vesna. She says she is now leaving, but Tim says they were doing it on puprose. Vesna goes inside while the boys keep playing soccer. Vesna joins Melanie in the sauna. She asks how Ves’ life is, and says she has prepared herself to leave tonight. She doesn’t know how she’d handle next week – the last week… the boys would be going crazy. Vesna says there would be a lot of pressure and nervous feelings… you’re down to the last three.

4.38pm – Big Brother annouces its time to feed the animals (an obvious post-production voiceover). All housemates help out, except Vesna who drags along. Greg runs around the yard with the alpaca. Tim gets to goat to jump up on his back. The goat does, and Tim balances it on his back. The second goat tries to get up too. Tim stands up and the goats jump up, wanting to be on top of his back. Tim bends down for the second goat to have a go.

BREAK

8.04pm – It’s time to go… Melanie. She screams and jumps up and down. Gives Greg a hug first, then Vesna and Tim. They walk her to the eviction stairs as Melanie screams and says she is very excited. The HMs wish her good luck and to have fun. Melanie runs up the stairs fast. Vesna says “great I’m stuck here with you both”. She chuckles at sharing the house with two boys. The remaining three go outside to listen to the crowd. Vesna says “bloody final three eh?”. They share canned drinks, and toast to each other for next week. Vesna says “this is mental I’m still here”. She reminds them they will see everyone in just one weeks time. Tim says its another case of the “3 point curse”. Melanie was only nominated after Tim’s 3 point deduction .. and she was evicted. Vesna jokes “you’re so selfish Tim”. Tim says after 3 months it is getting tiring. The HMs are called to the lounge by Big Brother. Vesna calls “bye Mel seeya next week”.

9.01pm – Melanie’s video goodbye is played to the housemates:

Tim – I think that we have got along from the start I think you’re a nice guy, you’re geniune and you like to please and thats not a bad thing. I am very young nad you’ve taught me some valuable things I can take away. There were times when you did frustrate me and vice versa but in a way you’re just like me, very ambitious and determined.

Vesna – This past week has been really good for our friendship. We will go out on various occasions and plan our birthdays. Keep your head up and smile and keep going and keep going with your exercise. Eat healthy. Chocolate occasionally. Love you very much.

Greg – You are very much a contradiction. You have this business side that is determined and then you have this other side that is very boyish and you’re the 23 year old.. there’s chicks and more chicks. I don’t know if we have this shyness about us but I definately thought this week’s task brought us together. I wish that we could have got ot have a friendship quicker than we did. But it makes me look foward to the outside developing our friendship.

Have fun in the next week. Make sure Big Brother gives you a good deal (with toilet paper).

Vesna asks Greg what he was doing looking at her during the message. Vesna says she was looking for his expression and didn’t like him staring back. Vesna says he has been in the house for 3 months and she barely knows him. Vesna says they have to look after her this week – “its going to be a tough week”.

BREAK

9.25pm – Housemates are in the lounge after the video message. Vesna questions her friendship with Greg. She senses he gets frustrated with… she stops to think of how she can say it without offending him… frustrated with himself that he doesn’t open up a lot. Greg knows its an issue but doesn’t need to be reminded every minute. Greg says its not a good feeling for people to say they didn’t get to know you. Greg doesn’t like Vesna making those sorts of comments and he feels he is giving all he can in the house. He doesn’t just speak and say things for the sake of it – like Vesna who doesn’t think before she talks. Greg says if you don’t have anything positive to say you don’t say anything at all. Vesna says they are two people who just pass – they have no connection at all, and she feels Greg hates her. He says he doesn’t, but he has said many times she annoys him by screaming and becoming snappy suddenly. He doesn’t like rudeness and sometimes she is very rude. To come in and deal with it is hard. Vesna says its just when she is in the kitchen. Greg says that it not a proper excuse, and she can’t deny this issue has been brought up many times before. Vesna says she isn’t going to spend her time in the house stressing over Greg not opening up in the house. Greg admits he might have problems detecting her sarcasm. The two sit silently for a moment.

10.09pm – The housemates come to the diary room to talk to Big Brother. Inside are their bags. Vesna also tells BB they have no toilet paper and they were hoping that BB could find it in his kind kind self to give them some toilet paper. BB reminds the housemates items such as toilet paper must be earnt. Tim proposes they will give the house and garden a massive clean – the other two agree. BB says cleaning is in their own interests.. what else would they propose? Vesna says something entertaining. Tim says they could put on a play. BB says good idea.

BREAK

11.21pm – Vesna yells action to start the play. It is set in a hair salon owned by Vesna’s character “sparkles”. Tim’s character, a blokey guy, comes in for a haircut and is having some life problems. He just had traffic accident just now. He was turning right and this “bloody idiot” pulls out out of nowhere… a merc or some fancy car. He comments Sparkles is very gropable. The idiot in the merc also hit another car, a green one. Vesna gets violent with Tim’s hair, and he says its slightly painful. Greg laughs from the sidelines. Afterwards Sparkles charges Tim’s character $150.

Next is Greg’s character Giovanni. He is camp and has his pants pulled right down, tshirt pulled right up, flaunting a fluffy scarf. He says a car ran into his Merc! Giovanni got so angry he got out of his car and kicked a green car nearby. Giovanni’s haircut is finished and he leaves, paying $190 on his AMEX.

Next, a counstable comes in, played by Tim, who asks Sparkle if she has a green car. She does, and the counstable informs her it has been involved in a traffic accident. Sparkle screams out Vesna-style, and when the counstable asks Sparkle to come outside, she falls on the couch screaming in a Vesna tantrum. The play ends and the housemates bow for Big Brother.

The housemates go into the diary room and find toilet rolls with their names written on them. BB says the play will not earn them a Logie, but they will have toilet paper. Vesna says she feels like an idiot most of the time she’s in the house. The housemates go into the lounge room and all the houseamtes say the play was really good.

11.45pm – Vesna comes back to the diary room. She explains she had a feeling of “wow”. First it was getting into the house, then surviving all the evictions and now being in the final three. Its a huge acheivement for her. She is becoming confident that everything is ok. She is confident she will be one of the final 2. BB asks her how it makes her feel. She says it is dizzying. She is wondering if she could possibly stay in the house. BB reminds her that everyone must leave the house sooner or later.
