Yeah I agree, I'm not sure how well Drew would go with it also, especially with her. I think it'd be a big disaster all around.

I realise I'm most likely living in Lonely Town, Population: 1 with this thought, but I believe the long distance thing actually really helps them right now and that's probably a big reason why I never see an issue with them being apart/her going off with her friends when she's in town/the length of time between trips. That much intensity in a relationship - mainly on her part but he seems somewhat similar as well - gets to be too much after awhile, sometimes quickly, and things burn out because one or both people just end up feeling so drained. Even when things are going well because it just sucks the life out of you. Especially when one or both people are so emotional. This way they get to be together and have all that intensity for a period of time but then they're apart and they (he more than her I think) gets the chance to recharge and just chill. Then they meet again and it's all go go go and the cycle repeats. I think them being together constantly right now or even weekly would do them more harm than good. At least until they both get a sense of routine and normalcy back into their lives. Something that grounds them other than being essentially unemployed and nothing else to focus on but each other if they were in the same place.

Move over. Population:2
I hope that down the track things can 'normalise', but for now, I think that it's probably a good arrangement.

Completely agree (I'll join you in 1 town)....It gives them the chance to avoid being codependent on each other (like a lot of housemates mentioned that they spent so much time together they couldn't get to know them separately).... and a chance to kind of test their relationship with that other extreme....(together 24/7.... to being together only for a little while)...and see if it withstands both extremes...if it does I think they have a great chance of being together for a long while and not killing each other in the process..

And I wondered about the job thing...They have to get money from somewhere right??? They may have jobs and just aren't telling us..

Woohoo, Population: 3!! You brought up a great point about the HMs talking about that situation also. They were in a controlled environment where no one could escape but they still sequestered themselves off from others. Yep, my feelings on the subject are fully reinforced now. As for the money issue, Tully had the 5k from the challenge and they both had the cash they banked from their Ch 9 pay although I imagine that's gone or pretty close to it now. I assumed Drew had slim to nil savings from working retail PT before going in but I thought Tully might've had a decent chunk as Tahlia said her job was very well paid so maybe that's helping out right now? Plus Tully has the Today Show gig and whatever she's earning from the SM promos SweatyBetty has linked her with. I also thought Drew might be on Centrelink now. That's only about $500 a fortnight though so they might be getting help from their families at this point? I remember when I first joined here someone was talking about Tully's family having cash but I can't remember if that was just an assumption they made because of one of the schools she went to or if they actually had info. Maybe Drew's family does too? I'm just thinking if they were working somewhere - especially in the retail/service industry and I'm not sure Drew is qualified for much else yet - we'd have a pic or at least mention of it from someone by now.

Well they sure made it with 123k views! I was shocked when I saw that number and then I started to watch the vid and felt like I was watching a bit of soft porn with a few "deceits" in the background courtesy of the tunes. Intense for sure!
 
which house is she living in ?

Love @RealHughJackman even more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbEiWnbmu5w … I had talked about this in the [MENTION=34005]bbau[/MENTION]9 house!! Not too sure if it made air or not! Xx

I wish bb did air what tahan had to say, I find it really disappointing that this side of Aboriginal communities isnt given coverage or being taught in Australia. Being back in nz i've realised how lucky we are to have a great relationship with maori people, although it's not perfect, there's still a lot of respect towards them and their land.

I am jumping on board with your thoughts. It may even be a growth in character for tully. She is learning to not be so attached which is beneficial for her IMO.

Just goes to show how much we weren't shown. I really do believe that the show made some of the characters seem one dimensional in their characteristics. It's a damn shame that they didn't show tahan talk about her aboriginal side, I think it would have been fascinating. Justynn talked about some of the stories of the aboriginal community which was quite interesting. Tahan seemed to get involved with events for the indigenous after bb, so I'd say she would have represented it well if they had shown her talk about it.
