Radio – Week 6 07/06/08

Dave’s away this week so Will is filling in – we think you’ll all find him a dream to listen to! However, it doesn’t quite mean that Dave won’t be heard at certain points throughout the show…

We’ve got all the usual junk including our take on all the fights and scandals of the past week. Plus Dave tries his hand at audio blogging, we give you the highlights from the BBUK launch, we debate whether returning to the old nomination system really gives the audience more control and we take a look at the new intruders.

Radio – Week 5 31/05/08

It’s all starting to happen in the Big Brother house with Travis getting taken to hospital. On this week’s radio show we chat about Travis getting bullied inside the house as well as talk about the three new intruders.

As usual, the weekly recap, FNL review and forum roundup are included. This weeks debate focuses on whether Ollie the dog is smarter than Brigitte (the human). Surely TiGS is due for a win?!

And finally, we catch up with Intruder Darren from BB06. Although…you might want to give it a miss and grab a cup of coffee during the interview instead!

Day 34

1:56pm: It’s time to judge the guide dog task. Alice gets Ollie to sit, and then stay as Alice herself walks away from the dog. The next one Ollie half does correctly which is the come command, and then the lie down lesson. Next it’s time for Ollie to go to his bed and he does this successfully.

Big Brother tells the house that they have indeed passed this week’s task. Big Brother tells the house that Ollie will also stay indefinitely. Big Brother tells the house that they are now ‘out of the doghouse.’

3:31pm: Ben comes to the diary room to find out where Travis is or for any updates. Big Brother tells Ben that he has passed on all information available to him.

5:54pm: Brigitte wants to know what Terri said about her before. The boys tell her that Terri said she felt sorry for her because she doesn’t have a brain. Brigitte follows Terri around the backyard until the truth comes out – Terri thinks that Brigitte’s face look ridiculous when she screams and yells. Terri says she looks like a donkey. Brigitte barks back that at least she has no

2:23am: Nobbi talks to himself and decides to breach the rules and enter the house. He sneaks into the house and makes it to the doorway of the bedroom. Brigitte and Bianca notice that he’s made his way in and Nobbi tries to find Rory. He starts putting pegs in his hair. Rory wakes up but can’t figure out who did it and then finally Nobbi starts laughing too much, Rory realises, and Nobbi runs out of the house.

Back at the kombi and talking to himself, he says he can’t sleep. He tells the door of the kombi to stop getting stuck. As Nobbi gets comfortable, Big Brother tells him that he’ll talk to him about his breach in the morning.

Day 33

4:18pm: Dixie asks the girls to tie back their hair when they are making meals. Nobbi tells Travis that Alice hates him the most of the people in the house. Travis said that yesterday she told him that they were quite close. Nobbi, Ben and Rory say that she is clearly playing the game and not to believe her. Travis tells the boys that he is glad that they told him. Rory says “Of course. Your one of the boys.”

Later, Ben, Nobbi and Rory burst into the toilet where Travis is and squirt him with some shower gel. Everyone is laughing hilariously. Ben says he didn’t think it would squirt out so much. Travis comes out and says that his eye is killing him.

9:21pm: Friday night games have finished, however, Travis has been removed from the house to check out the eye. Renee takes Dixie to the Strategy room. Renee says all she ever wanted from Big Brother was to win a Friday Night games. Renee tells Dixie that Bianca, Travis and Dixie are in the bottom three. Dixie tries to work out a strategy with Renee, but she isn’t really interested in the slightest. Dixie suggests trying to get friendly with whoever wins Friday Night Games.

Later, Renee comes to the diary room and says she can’t believe that Dixie thinks things through as much as she does. She says she feels sick for having to sit through that conversation. She didn’t think that it was this much of a game for some people.

10:19pm: Nobbi and Brigitte have a game to see who can spit the furthest through their teeth.

11:13pm: All housemates are called to the diary room. Travis was taken to a Gold Coast medical facility and is having further treatment overnight. Big Brother tells them he will pass on more information when he has it. Ben seems very upset, and Rory tries to tell him that it was just a prank and anyone could have done it. Ben starts crying a bit and goes for a walk in the backyard.

Nobbi tells him not to feel bad, saying that Travis will be fine. He gives him a hug telling him Travis will be back in the house tomorrow. Ben says that if Travis has to leave he wants to leave too.

Day 32

Travis is doing his own washing (because he has shingles) and is also keeping an eye on Ollie. Big Brother tells Alice, who is sleeping, that since the dog is eating anything he can get his hands on at the moment, she will have to get up.

Alice comes to the diary room and tells Big Brother that Travis isn’t deliberately leaving Ollie alone on purpose, it’s just the way Travis goes about life. He wouldn’t get dressed unless told to do so. Alice says that she is loving the task and spending time with Ollie. Meanwhile, Travis in the kitchen says he hasn’t even read the Dog manual book. He says he simply hasn’t had the time to do so. Renee can’t believe it.

Nobbi and Rory both suggest that Alice is definitely playing the game, but both agree that she isn’t hiding it very well. Renee lets Alice know that Travis hasn’t had time to read the manual, and Alice repeats what she told Big Brother.

Alice is training Ollie and asking it to stay and sit, getting quite angry at the dog. Ollie eventually comes to where Alice wants him to walk. Travis brings up the fact that some people in the house are laughing at him rather than laughing with him to Nobbi and Rory. Nobbi and Rory say they aren’t laughing at him, they are simply his mates. Nobbi does admit that some things Travis says they do laugh at, but all mates do that.

Nobbi is called to the kombi van. Big Brother tells Nobbi that recently he warned to lower their levels of profanity. Big Brother tells him that last night when speaking he was using profanity every few words. As punishment, he must clean all the windows in the backyard. It’s also raining quite heavily outside. Nobbi wonders if he swears a lot, and Travis says that he swears a lot more passionately than most others.

3:26pm: Rain is still falling so Nobbi puts garbage bags on and jumps flat first into the turf to amuse the rest of the housemates. Inside Alice tells Renee that she just can’t talk to Travis today. She says she can’t put up with stupid questions any longer. Renee says she would rather he say that he doesn’t like her. Alice agrees.

Travis says that everyone has catchphrases and words or phrases they like to use to kick off speaking. They wonder how Travis would send a message to a girl he slept with the night before. He says he would start with “G’day” and everyone laughs. Renee comes and gives a pat to Ollie.

9:59pm: Housemates call Terri a witch and Terri takes offence to that. Terri says that Brigitte has called her a witch sixty times since they’ve been here. Brigitte imitates a witch. Terri says that he would like to give Brigitte another brain. Brigitte chucks food at Terri, and Terri flings some back!

11:52pm: Nobbi is in the kombi but it’s wet inside the van and he is complaining to himself. Nobbi tells the others than his van is leaking and there’s no way of stoping it. He tells them he’ll sleep outside somewhere. Big Brother tells Nobbi that because of the rain he can sleep inside for tonight, and tonight only. He tells Nobbi that he can sleep just inside the door of the house in a 2-meter square radius and Big Brother pulls down the roller down so he can’t see out. He tells Big Brother that it’s a bit like jail. Brigitte brings Ollie to the strategy room and tells the dog that she wants Rory to go. Brigitte says that he spells like crap. Later, Renee talks to Ollie and tells the dog that if Terri is up for eviction, she’ll vote for her. Terri tells the dog that if Renee is up she’ll vote for her.

Day 31

8:01am: The crow alarm is sounded and Travis jumps out of bed to bring Big Brother his breakfast. Travis tells Big Brother that he is a bit more life smart now after his haircut, which he likes.

Alice is trying to teach Ollie to sit and stay, and is slowly getting the dog trained, but can’t quite get Ollie to come to her once she calls her. In the bedroom, Dixie says she is a bit frustrated that she can’t speak any Aboriginal in the house, and she really wants to see a ‘black fella’ so she knows that they are still out there.

Bianca comes to the diary room to give a topic for the family dinner. She asks, “Who do you think would be the best couple and worst couple in the house?” She says she wants to defuse any speculation between all the housemates in relation to Rory and herself.

Outside, Ollie runs into his little section of the house where he is meant to do his business and does a wee; Terri is very excited. Meanwhile, Bianca is talking to Renee about the question she put in for the family topic for this evening. Renee says that Rory is really into Bianca, and Bianca gets a bit concerned that she might hurt her feelings at the dinner. Travis takes Ollie for a walk around the yard.

5:57pm: Alice is again training Ollie, and this time gets him to come when called. Dixie tells Travis that his hair is bizarre. Nobbi tells Travis that he has no sex appeal whatsoever. They joke that he attracts blind woman. They wonder whether he was the wimp back in his school days. Travis says that he doesn’t like Dixie’s behaviour, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to hold it against her for the rest of his life.

Later, Travis talks to Alice who tells him that some housemates are making a mockery of him at certain points. Alice says that Travis should bring it up at the family dinner. Alice says that Ben and Nobbi constantly bag him, but at the end of the day, she admits that they love him as well. Alice says that if it happens too much, he shouldn’t take it.

9:11pm: The housemates are having their family dinner. Nobbi is watching on the plasma in the backyard. Bianca’s question is asked and Terri thinks that Bianca and Ben would be great together. Travis says that the worst couple would be Dixie and himself. Dixie says she doesn’t want to even imagine it. Alice and Renee both think that Rory and Bianca would be a good match.

The next question is “Have you been challenged inside the house?” Brigitte says that she has been because she has no clothes and makeup in the house. Ben interrupts saying that Brigitte’s comment was typical of a Canberra resident. Ben goes onto say he wouldn’t talk to a 52 year old or even a bricklayer in the outside world. Dixie butts in and says that he thinks that he is better than anyone. Ben wants to talk and doesn’t let anyone else interrupt, having a go at Dixie and Brigitte. Brigitte correctly asks him why he interrupted her. Ben says that he was interrupted eight times and that’s why. He bags out Brigitte by saying she has a boyfriend and has money and clothes in the outside world. Nobbi in the backyard is laughing his head off. Back on topic, Ben says he wouldn’t typically hang around a bricklayer in the outside world. Ben says he worded his earlier comment wrongly and he apologises. Dixie and Alice both suggest he strongly hinted he would never hang around with a bricklayer; Rory doesn’t take offence however.

Brigitte is pushing a trolley with plates and glasses in the backyard, and is worried that one might fall on Ollie because he is following her around. Meanwhile, Bianca tells Alice, Rory and Ben that had Rory been saying that he would never associate with a vet or a lawyer no one would have been offended. Alice agrees. Brigitte, washing dishes, talks to Ollie saying he would probably like gravy. Rory and Bianca are having a chat by themselves with Bianca telling him that Renee thinks they should get together. Bianca says that Renee has told her that Rory likes her more than he is letting on. Rory says that she is hot and the best chick to talk to inside the house. Bianca says that she can talk to him, but she doesn’t want to ‘jump his bones.’ Bianca says that Rory could be a real mate in the outside world. Rory says that when he first saw Brigitte he thought she was hot but now he doesn’t find her hot at all, saying that Bianca has just gotten ‘hotter.’ Bianca understands but says she is insecure. Rory says that she shouldn’t be insecure about her body. Bianca thinks Renee has a great body, but Rory says he would prefer Bianca’s. Brigitte, still doing the dishes, thanks Ollie for keeping her company, who is sitting on the ground watching Brigitte.

Outside, Renee wonders if Bianca likes her. However, she also wonder if she envy’s her or is even jealous. Nobbi thinks that Bianca envy’s her. Dixie agrees.
