Day 12

3:27pm: Housemates are eating, and Terri says to Corey “Id be ashamed to call you my son.” Corey tells her to shutup. Corey goes back to the boys in the bathroom and says that he loves stiring her up. Brigitte and Rebecca, in the kitchen, both agree that Corey should stay and Terri should be gone. Brigitte complains that Terri is really mean to the boys. Bianca is watching on not saying anything. Rebecca says that she doesn’t think that she’s a nice person. Back with Terri, she tries to tell Travis that she is being made to look like the bad person and Corey is the angel.

Later, Terri tells Alice what she said. Alice thinks that Terri was rude, and it was a ‘harsh comment.’ She says it was horrible. After Terri leaves, Alice tells the others that Terri had just spoken to her. In the kitchen, Rebecca tells Travis she wants to leave again. She says it’s nothing against anyone; she just doesn’t like it that much.

Rebecca is in the diary room. She says that it’s not against anyone in the house; she just really wants to go home. Outside, a few boys in the kombi are saying it’s sad that Rebecca wants to leave. Rebecca, out of the diary room, hugs Travis. She says she just wants to make a phone call or something similar. She has a little cry.

9:31pm: Housemates have just completed Friday Night Games. Big Brother tells Travis and Renee that the strategy room is now open. Travis is confused because he thought that Nathan would also be allowed in as well. They have Pizza and alcohol. The room is broadcast into the house via the plasma’s but no sound can be heard. The guys are thinking of food and say they would be very grateful even for a personal serving of frozen lasagna or similar.

The guys, getting changed in the bathroom, say they would have taken Nobbi into the room. Big Brother tells Travis that the bottoms three are Dixie, Rebecca and Saxon. The boy’s wonder who will start being extra nice to Travis since he now has all the power. Travis tells Renee that she isn’t in the bottom three, and then tells her the three names. Travis says that he is going to save Rebecca.

Brigitte says she didn’t even know that Travis and Renee we’re good mates. Bianca says they’ve got closer over the past couple of days. Back in the strategy room, Travis says he doesn’t want to see Dixie go, but he will probably give her the two points. On the couch, Brigitte is worried she’ll be in the bottom three.

Day 11

7:44am: Nobbi and the house have been woken by another SMS alert. The housemates get outside quickly and get to work cleaning up the yard saying that it’s a lot better this time because there is no confetti. Just as they are saying this, confetti starts raining down from above. Brigitte thinks that there is something wrong with Big Brother.

Big Brother calls Rebecca and Dixie to the diary room. Big Brother reminds the housemates that they both asked to leave the house yesterday and Big Brother asked them to sleep on it. Dixie says she still wants to go home, but Rebecca says she feels ok and would like to stay and ‘soldier’ on and be evicted via the normal process. Big Brother asks Dixie again whether she wants to leave, and she changes her mind and decides to stay as well.

4:59pm: Travis and Nobbi are talking in the backyard. Nobbi wants to know who his three best mates in the house are. Travis says Nobbi, Renee and Bianca. Nobbi wonders if anyone else has asked him this question, and then tells Travis that Ben asked him. Nobbi says that Travis isn’t being authentic in the house. Travis thinks that Ben wouldn’t lie, so perhaps he did say that.

The girls are getting dressed up in the bathroom. Nobbi says that Travis is a nice guy, but he is saying what people want to hear rather than the truth, and he warns Travis because people will soon catch on and wake up.

5:59pm: Travis wants to have a chat with Bianca after the girls have a pageant. She wants to know now but Travis just says that someone was a bit mean to him and they’ll talk later. Bianca goes outside and asks Nobbi if he knows what’s going on with Travis. Nobbi is amused that Travis is a bit upset about their chat earlier, and Nobbi tells Bianca that he simply told him to be a bit more careful about what he says in the house.

7:21pm: Alice welcomes the world to the Big Brother pageant. Dave strolls out onto the catwalk first. The girls are all happy and laughing as Rory introduces himself after walking down the runway. Ben walks down the catwalk and introduces himself as Corey the party boy. Nobbi is next, followed by Travis who dances really badly, but gets the ladies laughing at least. Nathan comes out next in a shirt and tie, then takes the tie off saying ‘he knows how to have a good time!’

Round two of the pageant, it’s street wear this time. Dave is out first again, followed by Corey who tells the girls his ideal date ‘would be in Bali laying on a beach

Ben comes out as a nerd and says his ideal date would be taking a girl to a internet café, Saxon would like a ride on a Harley while Travis wants a candlelit horse ride through a park. All the girls have been giving votes for each person out of 5, but Terri has only been giving up to 3 votes. They tell her to continue doing what she is doing so it’s fair.

David comes out for the swimwear section and sprays some water onto the lawn for no good reason; Ben comes out and break dances really badly on purpose, Nobbi comes out in jocks and climbs onto the cow, Corey looks shy as he comes out, before Nathan gives Bianca a nice massage. Rory, last, comes out in a g-string. Big Brother gets the last laugh saying, “Rory, it’s obviously very chilly tonight.” After the votes are cast, Dave gets 3rd place, Ben gets 2nd, while Nathan wins the award.

12:13am: Rory and Renee are in bed and Rory is gently touching her back. Travis asks Ben when he asked about Travis’s top 3 friends, and Ben tells him that it was early on. Travis decides to go and chat with Nobbi again. Nobbi says he’ll talk to Travis tomorrow and for him not to worry. Travis tells Nobbi that it was back on Day 3 that he told Ben he liked him the most in the house. Meanwhile, Rory snuggles up to Renee in bed.

Day 10

10:06am: Housemates are back in bed. Dixie is speaking in her sleep and about 5 people are awake now talking about it quite loudly and they finally get her awake so she stops. She says that she has to put up with David most nights.

Terri is in the backyard and has cleaned up. She comes to the bedroom eventually and a few people think about getting back up. Renee comes to the diary room. She says she is freaking out about Sunday. She wonders whether she’ll get any votes to save her, her mother having already said she isn’t going to vote.

A little later, Dixie and Alice are in the kitchen. Alice says that she will have a huge workout tomorrow. Dixie was about to put a knife in the toaster but Alice was able to get the muffin out in time.

Bianca is still going on about how she has no time for Corey. Terri says she doesn’t either after yesterday. Saxon and Corey are having a competition while hand standing. Meanwhile, Rebecca tells a few girls on the couch that she wants to go home and she’s ready to leave. She is missing lots of people. Alice tells her to have a think about it and they can talk about it later in the evening. She contemplates talking to Big Brother about it.

4:24pm: Rebecca comes to the diary room. She tells Big Brother that she doesn’t really want to be here and is missing her family and she doesn’t think that her survival mechanisms will stand up in the house. Corey is making the bread and Travis tells him to smack it. Rebecca is now crying in the diary room. She says that she almost got exciting when she found out that evictions were coming. She says she isn’t happy in the house, the lowest she has felt, and she is excited that she could be evicted. She comes out and tells Alice that Big Brother wants her to sleep on it. The other girls are ready to comfort her if they are needed.

Outside, Nobbi is speaking to Big Brother in the kombi van. Nobbi wants to join the housemate discussion at the weekly dinner. Big Brother tells him that he can’t enter the house, however there is a surprise coming his way tonight. Nobbi gets excited and wonders whether he should get dressed up!

7:02pm: Housemates have gathered for the family dinner. Nobbi is secretly watching the dinner on a mobile phone. One of the questions asks everyone whether they think Nobbi is being a pain and he should just accept his punishment. They all agree however that Nobbi has taken it like a champion and it’s time now to let him into the house.

The second question focuses on Corey. Everyone seems to think he’s been a welcome admission to the house except Terri. Even Bianca gives him a compliment.

Talk turns to food, in particular Alice’s ‘dog food’ yesterday. Alice understands that Rory’s comment was a joke, but it got to her a bit yesterday. Corey says that people shouldn’t be stealing food. Dixie seems to be the culprit, hiding tea bags and apples to eat and drink later. Dixie doesn’t think she should have to explain herself.

Nobbi gets a phone call in the kombi. He says he enjoyed watching the dinner, and he got a few insights into some housemates. He was pleased that his friends stuck up for him. Dixie lies down in the toilet and has a cry.

9:02pm: Dixie tells Rebecca that she is so close to losing it. She says she very rarely gets upset and cries. She says that Saxon went over the line.

Outside, Saxon says that angry Saxon will come back out if Dixie continues getting on his bad side. Dixie comes to the diary room, saying she wants to go home. She is sick of living with a bunch of wankers. Big Brother says he would hate to see Dixie leave over an apple. Outside the boys find a huge bug and Rory suggests that they put it in Dixie’s locker. The boys end up putting it in the girls toilet. Dixie finds it later and calls the joke pathetic.

Corey finishes the day in bed with a Mr. Bean impersonation, which is pretty good. Rebecca says, “I like you Corey, your good value.” Corey, in the Mr. Bean voice, suggests she come over and snuggles with him. Laughs all around.

Day 9

7:18am: Housemates are woken by Big Brother via SMS once again and again have to clean the backyard which is absolutely trashed for the second day in a row. They have one hour to clean it up. Big Brother comes over the house and tells the housemates that they are wasting precious time. Brigitte seems to really not be in the mood. Alice says that it’s more disgusting rubbish today. Rory and Saxon are saying that Travis is way too motivated. The housemates all agree that the confetti is the worst part of the task.

Nobbi gets a phone call in the kombi van. He is reminded that he is not permitted into the house, and as a consequence he must clean all the outside windows, including the van. He is really angry.

Back in the kitchen, Alice is making some food. Barney, Rory and Nathan are standing with Alice and Renee talking. They tell Renee that she is very much a bloke. Outside, Nobbi is saying that he doesn’t want to have to clean the yard again tomorrow. Travis says that it’s a weekly task and they will have too. Nobbi, cleaning the windows, accidentally tosses the cleaning device at Travis and gets him. He apologies, saying it wasn’t meant to fly off, he was simply meant to flick him with water.

Renee is talking to Travis, saying she now realises why she can’t get a boyfriend; all the guys think she’s a bloke. Travis says that she’ll find someone soon enough, then goes onto say maybe she needs a gay guy!

1:36pm: Alice is cooking lunch but she doesn’t have many ingredients. Barney watches on. Corey has gone back to bed. Barney is a bit unsure about the pies that Alice is making. Outside, Brigitte says she hates Barney cause he is always smiling. They say they like Nathan the best. She is talking to Bianca and Renee. Lunch is served and everyone comes in. They say it looks all right. Brigitte says its looks like a bit poo. Nathan thanks Alice. Michael is outside with the boys and says it’s tastes pretty good. Saxon and Rory think it’s disgusting. Brigitte says it’s the worst food she has ever seen. Saxon calls it dog food.

Corey, who slept through lunch, starts to make porridge. Saxon starts to put it straight into a bowl and Dixie says they have to cook it. Saxon is convinced you don’t, and pours milk straight in. Corey follows suit, and when Dixie leaves they both say that perhaps she was right.

8:12pm: Big Brother calls Corey and Terri to the diary room. Big Brother has a mission for Corey. He tells Corey that two of the gatecrashers must be evicted, and Corey must decide. Corey says he doesn’t feel comfortable voting two people out after they just arrived. He says he won’t accept the mission. Big Brother offers the mission to Terri. Terri accepts the mission.

Big Brother has gathered all housemates in the garden. He tells the housemates that the time has come for another snap eviction. He tells the new housemates that two of them will be evicted tomorrow morning. The housemates are filled in about Terri’s role in the snap eviction before Big Brother tells them they have nine hours remaining. Corey tells the housemates that Terri jumped at the chance because she would become a full housemate, but Terri says she thought that it meant she could evict anyone and not two of the three new webmates. Nobbi says that Terri is lying!

9:18pm: Barney is talking to Terri. He tells her that it’s taken him 4 years to get onto this show and he doesn’t want to go. Nobbi is saying in the backyard that Terri is a liar, bad to look at and sleeps all day. He doesn’t understand why Big Brother keeps giving her all these chances. Nobbi has another go at Terri saying it’s unfair that she gets all the power. Bianca thinks that Corey is weak because he didn’t accept. Nobbi says it’s lucky for him she can only choose the new housemates because otherwise he would be out the door.

Outside Travis is saying that Travis wants to be the oldest housemate and wants to be a proper housemate. Nobbi says that she is old, but bitter and not bringing anything interesting to the show at all. Nathan is sweet-talking Terri at the table. Corey comes to the diary room. Big Brother tells Corey that he respects the decisions to turn down the mission. He says that he can’t deliver bad news to people. Outside, Dixie and Brigitte start putting makeup on Nobbi. Terri tells Alice and Bianca that if it was the whole house she would’ve evicted Nobbi and Michael. Saxon tells everyone at least it’s not the 3 voting out two originals. Nobbi hoots the kombi horn to speak with Big Brother. Brigitte says she likes Nathan more than Barney again.

Nobbi (with makeup) says that he should be allowed to go inside tonight because there is an eviction and it’s freezing outside. He calls himself “New Look Penny” in the hope that he can enter, but Big Brother tells him that he must remain outside.

2:07am: Some housemates are lying in the bedroom. Dixie says she is getting sick of Bianca, and Alice says that Rory is a bit of the same. Outside, Rory tells all the boys that he has a ninja mask and he should put it on and take Terri out into the backyard and tell her to choose the boys now. He is all set to do it when he is called to the diary room. Big Brother tells Rory that it takes years and years of training to become a ninja and he cannot simply become one. Michael and Nathan decide to camp out in the kombi with Nobbi. They have a few laughs.

6:19am: Sunrise and Big Brother wakes up the house. Nathan says that at least there hasn’t been another party overnight.

6:24am: All housemates are in the garden. They look freezing. Terri is called to the stage. Terri chooses to evict Michael first because she wonders why he really wants to be here. He says goodbye to everyone and really not much emotion in this goodbye at all. Terri chooses to evict Barney next because she thinks that he has a lot more to achieve on the outside world. He congratulates Nathan and says his goodbyes before leaving the house. Housemates clap Nathan. Big Brother reveals that Terri is now a full housemate. Housemates go to bed, but are stopped when they are told to go to the diary room, minus Corey. Big Brother explains that there are no nominations this year, and rather the public nominates. Big Brother reveals that 3 housemates with the lowest number of public votes will be up to eviction, and then the housemates themselves will have to vote to evict. They will do so by awarding 2 points and 1 point to the 3 housemates up for eviction, in much the same way as they used to nominate.

Day 8

9:34am: Housemates are back in bed after completing the cleaning up task earlier in the morning. Someone is snoring, and they soon realise its Dixie. Dixie says she doesn’t snore, she says she must have farted. They tell her it’s been going on for ten minutes.

In the kitchen, Corey is baking the bread for the day. Terri is watching over him.

A little later in the day Renee is talking about going to Canada and work on the ski slopes. She says she isn’t a huge fan of the US, but wants to see the Statue of Liberty.

Back in the kitchen, Terri says “Corey, be careful of the knife.” The other housemates tell Terri to cool it, saying that the kid can clearly cut an orange. Corey comes to the diary room. He says he is more comfortable in the house today. He says that all the housemates are good and making him feel welcome. He says that Terri perhaps need to chill a bit and leave him alone a bit more.

2:29pm: Bianca is complaining about Corey. David tells her that he’s been great this morning, cooking etc. Bianca says that she did go up to meet him, but she just doesn’t like what he represented. Bianca says that he doesn’t have respect, and recalls an incident last night.

Corey is staying out of the sun cause he thinks he burns easily. He uses the F word; and Terri says, “Big Brother won’t like that.”

4:29pm: Bianca is getting her hair done by Terri. David is telling Alice about what Bianca thinks of Corey. Renee comes to the diary room. She says it’s strange to have new people in the house. She says that they look good. Outside, Dixie and Rebecca are talking. They are saying that they like the look of one of the new housemates but I can’t figure out whom. Nobbi climbs a tree and then starts imitating being a monkey. Alice and Travis are talking about Barney; Alice thinks he is very good looking. Renee says that the original guys are now being nicer because they realise they might lose friendships. Back out with Dixie, she says she is disappointed with Bianca’s behavior. They both agree that she’s not one of the nicest people in the house. Dixie also says she gets annoyed with Travis sometimes.

Over at the barbecue, Bianca says that Travis is one of her best supporters in the house, saying that everyone else seems to be ganging up on her and being unpleasant towards her.

8:21pm: Bianca is upset that Alice seems to be not talking to her over this whole Corey thing. She says that Corey doesn’t deserve her attention. Corey is called to the diary room. He is offered the requested hair straighter but only for use by himself, or chocolate and soft drinks for the whole house. Big Brother asks Corey to choose. Back in the bathroom, Bianca is so sick of this and she says she’ll lay low while he is in the house. Bianca asks Brigitte why she is applying makeup at nighttime. Brigitte says “We’re on TV!” Corey decides to go with the chocolate and soft drink option.

Bianca comes out to Nobbi, Saxon and Rory. The boys tell her not to be upset about this thing with Corey. The housemates all appreciate Corey’s sacrifice. Dixie has a coke and is in heaven.

Alice comes out and tells Renee, Dixie and Rebecca about how Corey was offered the hair straighter. She says that it’s awesome he choose to reward the house instead of himself.

12:17am: Bianca and Corey are at the table by themselves. She says she hasn’t really talked to him, but she wants to make it clear to him that she is in the house because of one main reason; she wants to contradict everything that Corey basically stands for. She says she doesn’t drink, smoke or do drugs. Corey says that he doesn’t represent anything though. Bianca says that he was portrayed as a jerk though. He understands what she means, but he says that he is his own person and he’s not really like how he is portrayed in the media. He tells her that Terri is annoying him, but he can handle it. Bianca says she wants to help him get his message across, that he isn’t the absolute ‘party boy’ that he is made out to be.

Day 7

8:46pm: Corey has just entered the house. Nobbi wonders if he’s nervous. Soon after, Terri is launched back into the house. Nobbi says, “That’s low” over and over. Corey moves away from the noise and checks out the house. Nobbi finally says “So Terri” and Nobbi then launches into her, telling her he’s had the worse week of his life not being allowed to move around anywhere he wanted to. Terri says she used to love camping. Nobbi tells her that he isn’t a camper. Corey is still on his own checking out the house. Travis says that he’s proud of Nobbi for finally talking to Terri.

Inside, Bianca says she feels like screaming with Corey in the house. Terri says that he looks really scared though. Dixie joins in and says “Imagine if someone marries him from in here.” Outside the boys are saying that if Terri tries to boss them around they’ll have to tell her to butt out.

Nobbi fills Corey in on the kombi situation. Bianca has changed her tune on Corey and is saying that she should give the kid a chance. Saxon agrees. She talks to him from one and one. He tells her that he lives in Cranbourne with mates now. He says he doesn’t have a girlfriend, although there is this one girl. He says he has known her for a while.

Big Brother calls Terri and Corey to the diary room. Terri tells her to come and sit next to her. Outside the guys wonder if the girls like any of the new housemates. David reckons they will all try to get onto Barney. Rebecca wonders why Barney has been single for the past four years. Back in the diary room, Terri is given the rules for her mission. She must take care of Corey around the clock. If she succeeds, she will be re-instated as a housemate. Corey plays with his hair as Terri says that Corey hasn’t been a good role model for teenagers. Corey says he doesn’t see himself as a role model and he just wants to prove to Australia he’s just a normal kid.

10:03pm: Corey comes back to the diary room on his own. He asks Big Brother for a hair straighter for the house. He says it isn’t his greatest concern. He puts on his glasses. Big Brother tells him that sunglasses shouldn’t be worn in the house. He leaves the diary room.

Nobbi is in the kombi awaiting a call from Big Brother. Nobbi says his evening was ok until Terri came back in. In the backyard, others are saying they feel protective of the original housemates. Ben is with Corey in the kitchen. They are talking about Travis, and Corey wonders about his voice.

Housemates have gathered in the backyard to introduce themselves properly. Barney says he’s 33 and he hasn’t really grown up yet. He says he’s not Bobby Brady, been around Australia and the world, has done modeling, and loves challenges, thus he is here. Nathan is next, he’s 27 and says he doesn’t have a girlfriend. Corey is up next, he’s 17, loves to party, lived in Melbourne his whole life, traveled around Australia and he loves Fiji. Michael is up next and he doesn’t drink, smoke or do drugs. Terri gets up again and tells us that her mother remarried when she was 7. Brigitte asks her “Was this in the 1900’s?” Lots of laughs from the housemates. Terri left home at 16 and went to live with her grandmother, and she didn’t ever go back. While she speaks housemates seem to be nodding off to sleep. She says she has a man now and is happy.

12:53am: Barney is chatting in the kitchen with Alice. Barney explains that he only lifeguards on weekends as a voluntary measure. Brigitte on the couch says that Alice will soon be ‘Alice Brady.’

Terri and Corey come to the diary room and collect their bags. Big Brother explains that there are only four lockers so Corey and Terri will have to share. Corey is not thrilled with this, saying that he likes his own personal space. Terri tells him that we’ll work it out. Corey says that it’s not all going to fit. Terri tells him to stop fiddling with his eyebrow. Corey says that he’s using the locker and Terri will have to find somewhere else for her stuff. Corey says that they will have to try to fit everything in the one locker. Big Brother tells them to inform the other new housemates that they can collect their bags. Terri asks Corey to do something with a bag, and then says, “You didn’t have to throw it.” Corey’s reply “I didn’t mean it!”

1:46am: Housemates are in the spa. Terri comes out and they ask her where Corey is. They tell her that Corey jumped the fence by climbing the tree. He is actually in the bathroom, but Terri is unaware of this so she goes to talk to Big Brother. Big Brother tells her that she should be looking after Corey. She says she’ll go and climb the fence then. She tells Bianca and Travis, who tell her that he’s in the bathroom. When she gets there he’s hiding in the toilet, and they again convince her that he jumped the fence. She gets changed to climb the tree, and begins climbing before Bianca ruins the joke saying “I’m not giving the dumbass anymore laughs for doing something stupid.” Terri says I thought they were joking.

3:22am: Nobbi and Nathan are talking in the yard. Nobbi says that everyone is pretty good except for Terri. In the bedroom, Corey

3:45am: Big Brother tells Terri that Corey must go to bed at a reasonable hour. Big Brother says that her mission is slipping away from her. She gets up and finds Terri in the yard talking to Dixie and Nobbi. Terri says that if Corey had any consideration for her, she would go to bed. Corey says that 17 year olds don’t like going to sleep.

3:57am: A couple of the girls get up and say they will seduce him into bed. Rebecca and Brigitte come out and say that they want to talk to him. He eventually decides to go to bed.

6:11am: Big Brother has trashed the backyard. He wakes the house with an SMS message. The plasma shows a text message written in text language, which says “Gr8at party, c u later”. Nobbi sees the mess and shuts the kombi van again. Terri gets up and discovers the mess, and Ben has also seen it now as well. They find a letter. Big Brother gathers all the housemates, except Nobbi, on the couches. Ben reads that Big Brother had a party by himself after they all went to bed. If they clean the backyard in an hour, they will win a Barbecue and other items. They madly start cleaning up.

7:51am: Housemates are still cleaning and only have ten minutes left. Michael sees that they have a bread-making recipe, and also finds that all the food has gone. Housemates almost have the house looking acceptable. Rory wants to sleep. Michael says he didn’t help but he was a good supervisor. Dixie wants to speak to Big Brother. Everyone claps outside. Dixie tells Big Brother they have finished, and Big Brother tells them they have done well, but the task is a weekly task and therefore there is more to the task. Big Brother informs them they must live off the staples in the kitchen until such time when they win their reward.
