Day 28

8:51pm: Rory is happy that he has survived the eviction and he gets to spend his birthday inside the house. Brigitte says that she hopes she doesn’t get another hand grenade. Terri says she doesn’t think they will give Brigitte another one.

Ben asks Nobbi whom he will miss more. He says he will miss both, but probably David a bit more. Nobbi asks Ben the same question, and then says, “Ben, admit it. You didn’t like David from day one?” Ben says that he didn’t, but the last week or so he had grown to like him a little bit more.

Renee comes to the diary room and says that she spent 80% of her time with Nathan and she says she will miss him. She can’t believe she has cried in the house, she didn’t even cry saying goodbye to her family. She says it’s crazy. Dixie says she is very glad Alice is still in the house. She says she thought Alice might have decided to save one of the boys and she is very glad that Alice chose to save herself.

11:12pm: Nathan is the first to leave a message. He says that he hopes everyone enjoys the time they have left in the house. Nathan tells Renee that she is unlike any chick that he has ever met before, and he is really looking forward to spending some time together outside of the house. Renee looks so excited and happy. The hand grenade is to make Big Brother breakfast for the indefinite future whenever the crow calls. They are not to sleep throughout the day. He gives it to Travis. David comes on and says that Terri might just win this whole competition and then says that Bianca perhaps needs to respect other people’s opinions a bit more. David’s hand grenade is to be the last person to bed, bring Big Brother a snack and sometimes read Big Brother a bedtime story. He gives this to Bianca.

11:36pm: Nobbi and Ben are talking in the backyard. Nobbi says that when it comes down to the crunch Nobbi doesn’t know whether he can count on Ben’s support, and Nobbi says at the moment it’s probably leaning towards the side of no. Ben says that he respects that, and Nobbi obviously remembers a lot of conversations. Nobbi says he simply can’t trust him at the moment, and if he had done something to piss Ben off, he would probably think that Ben would bitch behind his back rather than come over and talk to Nobbi about it.

Bianca thinks she is unlikable. She says that everyone who has been evicted has said bad things about her. She says in the outside world she is the bitchiest person and nothing like she is inside the house. Terri says that Nathan didn’t say bad things about her. Bianca says she can’t be someone she’s not, because that would be fake. But she is upset because no one seems to like the real Bianca.

Rory and Renee are talking in the bedroom. Renee doesn’t understand why she is the only person upset tonight. Rory tells her that that boy we’re the closest to her and that’s why she is the most upset.

Ben dishes Nobbi a bit in front of Travis and Nobbi for no apparent reason. In the bedroom, Terri says she is surprised that the evicted housemates haven’t been saying mean things to her. Renee wants Bianca to go to bed, but she says she has to be the last person up.

12:11am: The boys are again talking in the backyard. Nobbi and Ben are still arguing, Ben saying that Nobbi seems to think everything he says is correct. Rory and Nobbi both don’t think Ben is being nice when he called them assholes, simply because he thought that those boys are more confrontational. Nobbi says to Ben that he seems to be defensive by asking all of the boys their opinions of their earlier argument.

The girls in the bedroom are talking about David. Terri says that he would ask questions but then not really listen, or try to butt in during the answer was given. A little later, Nobbi tells Rory alone that he is the only guy he can fully trust.

Bianca and Travis come to the diary room. Big Brother tells them that since they will be bringing the midnight snack and breakfast, he has supplied them with some bread, milk and tea bags.

1:13am: Nobbi is talking to Big Brother in the kombi. He says that the eviction was very tough. He also says that the kombi joke must surely be over. Nobbi says the boys will stay outside with him, but he has done it for a month and he’s completely over it. It doesn’t work and Nobbi sleeps alone in the kombi for another night.

Bianca prepares the toast for Big Brother before she is allowed to go to bed. She brings the midnight snack into the diary room. Big Brother asks for a bedtime story. Bianca starts to tell a story similar to the tale of Big Brother 2008.

7:14am: The rooster is crowing and Travis must get up and prepare tea and toast for Big Brother every morning when this sound is heard. He makes the toast and enters the diary room. Big Brother suggests he use a little less butter tomorrow.

A little later a dog’s voice is played into the house. Terri is laughing her head off for some reason and Brigitte tells her to shut up because her voice is worse. Terri says it reminds her of the dogs at home. Renee, waking up, says she hates dogs. The dog sound just keeps playing and Renee wanders out to the living area.

Big Brother finally gets all housemates to assemble on the couch. Once there, Alice reads the rules of this week’s task. Each housemate must enter a ‘doghouse’ in an endurance test; the winner, which remains in the doghouse for the longest time, will win a great prize. Nobbi wonders how many people will win, and once he realises that there is only one winner he gets in his doghouse and immediately quits. Nobbi goes around kicking the doghouses for some time, while Renee, Travis and Brigitte have fun taking their houses for a walk.

8:09am: Travis wonders where Renee is in the backyard. Big Brother disqualifies Rory from the contest, and is told to bring his doghouse to the diary room. A little later both Nobbi and Rory play tricks by holding some of the doghouses down. Rory decides to give Travis and Ben a raining shower with the hose. Travis tells them to stop saying his roof is leaking. Brigitte and Terri are also very peeved up with the water, Brigitte yelling, “Stop it” continually. Rory finally stops, and Brigitte keeps complaining.

Big Brother tells the housemates that a can of coke is on offer as well as Jupiter bars for the next housemate that exits their doghouse. Dixie doesn’t last very long before temptation sets in, saying it’s the two favourite things in the whole world. Dixie says that she has these bars at least twice a day.

10:03am: Travis wants to play eye spy, but Alice reminds him that he can’t see anything. Travis and Brigitte get themselves into the shade, but Terri tries to help Brigitte and gets an absolute serve for hitting her roof. Nobbi gets leftover prawn heads and puts them into Travis’s doghouse. Travis can’t believe it and almost dry reaches.

Big Brother gives the housemates evicted from the challenge a hot breakfast. Renee almost decides to quit to get all the food. She wants to go inside but Bianca is in the way and doesn’t want to move. Renee pushes really hard into her house and then decides to find another way into the house.

Day 27

11:17am: Brigitte and Travis are practicing for the dance task. They can’t decide what way to face. Brigitte really doesn’t think it matters in the slightest. Nobbi tells Nathan that he’s just going to practice the dance a couple of times and then go back to bed. Nathan thinks that they have it nailed anyway. Nathan wonders how Travis would be in a work environment. Nobbi says maybe he switches on at work. Nathan suggests that perhaps he’s totally fake and has a low voice outside in the real world.

Travis is struggling with the whole dance routine. Brigitte says that he is so painful to work with. Travis says that Brigitte gets him worked up at times too, but he chooses not to raise the issue.

Dixie comes to the diary room. She says she hates dancing. She wants two homies from the street to perform the routine instead. She says she is going to embarrass the whole of the Aboriginal community because she has no style or groove. Big Brother suggests it’s all for the fun of it.

11:58am: Travis is complaining about Brigitte. Travis says he isn’t a good dancer, but he has stuck beside her through all her dramas. Terri says the same thing, saying that when she called her a witch last night, it was the last straw for Terri. Travis tells Ben that he is no longer going to take the crap from her.

Brigitte tells Big Brother that Travis makes her want to strangle him. She can only deal with him in small doses. She says that Travis is too positive all the time, saying that he is a bit like a doll with some string in the back and constantly being positive.

6:17pm: All the housemates are dressed for their dance and make their way to the stage. He tells the house that Big Brother doesn’t feel he’s the appropriate judge for this task, and therefore he has chosen some more judges. The plasma is switched on and you can see Jason Coleman and Matt Lee who are just outside the compound with a small audience watching on. A few tips from the judges and then it’s time to get underway.

6:21pm: Ben and Bianca are asked to dance first. Claps all round from the housemates after it, but the judges think that Ben was thinking a bit too much for their liking. They say that Bianca looked a little bit stunned. Dixie and Alice start their hip hop routine. They get right into it and are actually not too bad. Judges say that Alice really wanted to win it. They think they did a good job though. Nathan and Renee are up with the waltz. They laugh a bit through the performance. Judges really think it’s a great transformation for Renee who used to work with abattoir factories. David and Terri are up next and the judges say that they both had great enthusiasm and thank them on a job well done.

It’s time for disco fever and Brigitte and Travis take to the stage. Travis seems to struggle a little but the judges say they did very well. In fact, the judges say that Travis was the better performer because he let himself go and didn’t care what he looked like. The last team up is Rory and Nobbi doing the boy band routine. Judges say that Nobbi was born to be in a boy band, and they say that Rory looked terrified.

Big Brother tells the housemates to all go on stage for the results. The judges talk for a long time but finally they decide to pass the housemates in this week’s task.

Day 26

2:37pm: Dixie is in the diary room telling Big Brother that she is struggling to do the role of laundry hand. She says that the weight of her breasts, each weighing 4.3 kilo’s, are too heavy and it is straining her back. Big Brother suggests that she spread the workload out over the entire day.

She comes out and tells some people in the kitchen what happened but suggests to the other housemates that Big Brother simply said ‘so’ to her concern over her back. Bianca says that Big Brother is being mean, calling him an asshole. Bianca is called to the diary room, and Big Brother clarifies that he has been misquoted. Bianca leaves the diary room and later has an argument with Dixie because she misquoted Big Brother. Things get very, very heated with Dixie telling her not to get into her fights. Bianca storms into the bedroom and then walks into the bathroom, where she finds Nobbi, who is in lockdown; Bianca calls Dixie a cold-hearted bitch. At the dining table Dixie calls her psycho. David tells her that they have to remember she is only 18. David tells Nathan that Bianca is thinking about laughing, and they both have a laugh!

9:27pm: Alice has just won the Friday Night Games and declares that she will take Nobbi into the strategy room. Nobbi is absolutely stoked. Once inside the room she tells Nobbi that it’s Bianca, David or Nathan in the bottom three. Alice says that she likes Terri in the house and hope she doesn’t drop down into the bottom three. Alice says she can’t work out why Brigitte isn’t nominated; she constantly sleeps. Nobbi agrees with her, and then goes onto say that Renee will win it. Alice says that she thinks Renee has got to the point where she has nothing left to say that is new. Alice says she thinks Dixie might win it, because she has a lot of support out there. Nobbi again thanks Alice before they leave.

Bianca is talking about the pronunciation of her name. Brigitte asks Bianca and Terri why they say me and not why. Terri says that the average Australian probably use that word. Terri says that she thought that Brigitte was being sarcastic. Dixie says that Terri has totally won the argument. Terri suggests that Brigitte’s friends are all stuck up because they don’t use me instead of my. Brigitte calls Terri a witch.

Day 25

11:05am: Brigitte breaks the glasses she wore yesterday for her individual task. Terri comes to the diary room. She says that things have settled down after the task yesterday, suggesting that everyone has let ‘sleeping dogs lie.’

Outside Alice and Dixie are mending fences as well. Alice says she meant what she said yesterday but she would still like to apologise. Dixie says that she didn’t think Alice had had a go at her.

Brigitte and Travis are practicing the dance with no enthusiasm whatsoever. Rory tries to crack a joke at them, but Brigitte still doesn’t want to talk to him. Travis says he hasn’t got the dance perfect yet and they still need to get it perfect. Travis says that the rest of the group we’re bagging him out last night too because he was standing up for Brigitte, saying that you just have to get on with things and not dwell on them because you become a really negative person.

Rory and Bianca are lying on the bed. Bianca says she is upset and she wants her dad. She has a little cry into her pillow. Rory gets up and walks away.

12:26pm: Dixie gets Nathan to carry some washing, and Dixie sits down at the table. Nathan rings out some washing at the outside sink. Brigitte is applying makeup in the bathroom. Rory wonders where she is, and tells Renee that Brigitte has said she won’t talk to her anymore. Renee says that she has said only what everyone else has.

Inside, Dixie says she has said some things to Brigitte she isn’t proud of, and Brigitte says she was nasty to Dixie as well and they laugh over Brigitte using Dixie’s mascara. Renee comes into the room and talks to Dixie but she thinks Brigitte is asleep so leaves them alone. Dixie tells her to go and get up and say hi to her. Renee says that she isn’t going to apologise, but she is happy to talk to her at any time. Renee tells Alice that in the outside world she would just forget it, but she can’t inside this house. Dixie tells Brigitte that it her chance to show that she is more mature than she makes out in the house by getting up and talking to housemates she says she plans to ignore.

2:13pm: Nathan and Dixie are called to the diary room. Big Brother tells Dixie that no housemate can assist you in Dixie’s laundry duties. Because Nathan helped Dixie out with today’s washing, Dixie must strip the pillowcases of the bed and Nathan must stand alongside and provide vocal support. Nathan keeps saying “You can do it Dicks”, “C’mon Dicks” and Dixie hates it already.

Alice tells Terri in the bathroom that she seems to be fitting in much better. Terri says that no one is really pushing her buttons anymore. Outside as Dixie washes the pillowcases, Nobbi and Nathan sing and dance around her to encourage her.

David, in the kombi with Nobbi and Rory, wonder about Ben and Travis’s friendship. They wonder if it’s some kind of an alliance they are trying to form. They say that Ben is stressed after getting nominated.

The girls sing “Happy Birthday Mr President” in the kitchen and it provides a moment of laughter between Brigitte and Renee.

8:48pm: Dixie is applying makeup to Terri. Dixie says she stuck up for Brigitte last night because she felt sorry for her. She tells Bianca she didn’t want to see anyone crying. Brigitte is also involved in the conversation. Bianca says she was staring at Nobbi earlier today and she was marveling at his muscles. Brigitte says she would rather vomit on herself than get together with Nobbi.

The boys in the backyard marvel at how shiny Nathan’s head is. Rory and Ben say if they had to choose between Renee and Brigitte, Renee would win all the time. They both say they couldn’t date her though.

Rory gives Bianca a massage outside. Dixie wants to be friends on the outside world with Brigitte. She says she expects an invitation to her 21st.

Day 24

2:00pm: Housemates are again practicing for this week’s dance task. Travis still has no idea how to do the disco dance and Brigitte is getting more and more worked up every time he stuffs it up. Nathan and Renee seem to be in giggles while going through their waltz, while Ben and Bianca also seem to be having trouble. Nobbi tells Rory to do his dance properly.

Brigitte is called to the diary room. Big Brother tells her that he is giving her the chance to win back some of her confiscated items. He lists them off for her and she seems excited. Big Brother tells her that she must wear glasses (rose coloured) all day and have a glowing outlook on life. She goes outside and starts complimenting everyone and everything. She starts to get angry with Travis saying, “Stand in your spot… you look really good there!” and another, “You stuffed up heaps, but I like it better like that.” Travis can’t contain his laughter and excitement at this task that Brigitte has been given.

5:27pm: Brigitte says she is not allowed to tell her fellow housemates what she wins if she passes this task. Rory guesses that she gets her clothes and he makes a point saying “Why should you get your clothes back when Nobbi is still outside?” Nobbi causes her to get in a bad mood, so Brigitte gets up and walks away. Rory and Nobbi decide to try to follow her around to annoy her. Meanwhile, Terri is chatting to Travis about the task; Travis says that it’s a good thing, but Terri says it’s so fake it’s a waste of time. Terri says she can understand why the boys are a little bit upset because it looks like that when she chucks a hissy fit she gets her own way. Renee mentions to Bianca that Rory was telling her the previous evening that he was a bit into her. Bianca says she’s not attracted to him in that way though. Meanwhile, the boys are singing a song in the backyard complaining about the ‘sooky-la-la.’ Brigitte is crying on the couch – Terri tries to comfort her. Terri says it’s pretty hard on everyone being in this house. Terri grabs her a tissue.

7:28pm: Brigitte says she doesn’t care that anyone thinks it’s bad she is getting her stuff because she didn’t ask for them. Brigitte says she didn’t ask for it. Bianca says she did though, even if it was indirectly. She then says, “Do you know what indirectly means?” Bianca says she would never have acted the way Brigitte did if she had lost her clothes. Brigitte keeps defending herself saying she had stopped asking for the clothes back.

At the family dinner, a question comes up that asks, “Do you see any romance in the house?” Rory says that Renee and Nathan are into each other. Ben says that perhaps if something were to happen it would’ve happened by now so he suggests that everyone leave it alone now. Alice says that perhaps Bianca and Rory are into each other a bit.

10:33pm: All housemates are called to the diary room and Brigitte is told to sit on the couch. She watches on the plasma. Big Brother tells the housemates that they must decide what she gets back. Half the housemates decide that she doesn’t deserve anything back. Brigitte watches on and swears at Rory. Big Brother clarifies that she should be rewarded on her job at the task. Dixie tries to stand up for Brigitte but she isn’t getting much support. Nobbi thinks she should get one button from a coat. Dixie says she has no one in the house and so she good some of her comforts to get her through the tough times. Big Brother tells the head of household, Alice, to make a decision. Alice says she shouldn’t get everything and chooses one item.

10:47pm: Housemates come out of the diary room and Brigitte says that ‘that was interesting.’ She tells Rory that he’s an idiot and Rory fires back relentlessly until she walks away. Meanwhile, the boys in the kombi, led by Ben are all saying she didn’t deserve a single thing. Ben says ‘She doesn’t ever deserve a thing. I stand by that to the day I die.’ Rory again says she doesn’t deserve any of it. Brigitte comes to the diary room and says that the house is full of people who dislike her. Bianca says that she won’t let Brigitte use her makeup anymore, saying she uses it everyday. Travis tries to stand up for her, and Rory says that he would let her have it all had she not nagged and moaned forever when she lost it all.

Brigitte says she is absolutely alone in this house and she doesn’t think she can put up with it for much longer. Rory says that for Brigitte’s whole life she has simply asked “Daddy” for everything and received it. She says that the grenade was meant to teach her a lesson, and that grenade should be played out. Dixie says she would rather see someone smiling than crying. Brigitte comes to the bathroom and Dixie gives her a hug.

Day 23

11:02am: Housemates are practicing with their partners for this weeks dance task. Terri & David, as well as Rory and Nobbi, seem to have the routine perfected. There’s still a bit of trouble for Bianca and Ben, Dixie and Alice and also Brigitte and Travis. Brigitte shows Travis how to do it again, and Travis recommends that they break for the day.

Outside, Travis tells Nobbi that he doesn’t really like telling people that they are a ‘sook’. He says that’s a negative and he tries not to be negative. Over in another group, Ben says “Travis is going to be disappointed in life because he sees the best in people and expects the best from everyone.” Alice and Dave agree, Dave saying he gets his lunch made for him and then suggesting that Travis will never move out of home.

Rory comes over to join the conversation. Meanwhile in the kitchen David and Alice are talking about Terri and her constant negativity. Nobbi is saying that Terri is negative, but Terri suggests that she is simply a realist. Ben says that sometimes in the house it’s usually five against one and that’s why Terri feels the need to defend herself. Back in the kitchen, David tells Nathan that change will never happen with Terri, she will always be a negative person.

2:49pm: Dixie is sleeping on the couch. Terri goes to the bathroom. She tells Ben that she will try not to walk around looking glum. She says she always got told she looked cranky at work when she is perfectly happen. Ben wonders whether it’s something she is trying to change. She says she can’t change it and she just looks like a negative, glum person naturally. She doesn’t mean to do it. Terri says that people need to be negative sometimes when a situation arises to be negative. Ben just keeps saying yes throughout.

Outside, Rory is shaving Nathan’s head. Nobbi, in the kombi, asks Big Brother for a new sleeping bag because the nights are getting colder and colder. He says that life outside is fine during the days but because it’s colder no one wants to stay in the kombi overnight. He says that Terri is pretending to be nice to Nobbi and he would rather her to simply have a go at Nobbi and be herself. Brigitte is now asleep in the house while the others are playing in the backyard.

Travis is talking to Terri in the backyard. Terri says she hates that everyone seems to see Terri as a negative person. She fights back tears as she says it’s tough inside the house because she misses her grandson and her daughter. Terri hopes they aren’t watching her get taken apart every night on the show.

5:46pm: Housemates are bored so they create a game where two people hold exercise balls while their feet are tied together and they simply slam into each other. Rory knocks over Nobbi. Inside, David says that they are all robots and rats who simply get up and do the same thing day after day. Nathan is outside talking to Renee. Nathan says that the boys piss him off sometimes. Renee says she is over it and doesn’t care anymore.

While they are talking, Nobbi talks about the ‘couple’. David says that he gets up close to everyone when he talks to anyone, but he is quick to add that something is going on between the two. Nobbi agrees, saying it’s so cute. Renee gets mad and Nathan says that he gets mad too but he though that Renee was cool with it. She says “it’ll wear off.” Nathan says that he isn’t into messing with people’s feelings. He says that he would rather look like a moron now than hurt her feelings later down the track. Renee says she doesn’t understand him sometimes.

Alice and Terri are talking with Dixie about Nathan and Renee. Alice says that they both like each other, but she says that Nathan is pushing for it. Later on in the living room, Alice reveals she can’t have children. She says she was 17 and hadn’t had a period so her mother made her have every test imaginable. She says the doctor burst into the room and simply said, “It’s what I thought. You can’t have kids.” Alice says that both her mum and herself burst into tears upon hearing the news.

Nathan, Alice and Nobbi are in the kombi. Nobbi says that it’s about time something happened between Renee and Nathan. Nobbi says it’s like a couple flirting each other. Nobbi says the dancing between the two is awkward because there are sparks between the two. Nathan says that it would be nice if it weren’t awkward. Nobbi says that both Alice and he think that Nathan likes Renee as much as she likes him. In the bedroom, Ben suggests that Alice not spend every minute of every day with Nathan. If she took some distance, she wouldn’t get teased as much. Renee says that Nathan is more so the problem. Renee says she can’t like someone after two weeks. Rory says, “Of course you can.” Renee tells the other housemates that Nathan has told her that he isn’t really interested. She says she also hasn’t told him that she herself is interested. Back in the kombi, Nathan says he didn’t want to be in the situation he finds himself in. He says he didn’t want to be weighed down with ‘love issues’ inside the house.

Nathan leaves the kombi and goes to the bedroom. Rory is giving Renee a cuddle and Renee tells him that she ‘can’t do D&M with that dude anymore…he does my head in.” Renee cracks up as Nathan walks into the bedroom, making for an awkward moment. She says she looked like a school kid who had been caught.
