Make that Lonely Town: Population 5.
I do really think that the distance will help them make this something maybe longer and more substantial instead of it burning out too fast.

increase the population by 1 because I'm nodding away reading this.
its a lost opportunity - but they do tend to steer clear of anything that might be controversial UNLESS it will stir up extra ratings points (relationships etc)

It's def a lost opportunity, but to quote that YouTube video and what hugh jackman says, 'it's an opportunity to learn". It doesn't have to be controversial, but if it garners positive thought, it's worth showing.
just think the BB producers want the easy get ... no effort required on their part ... hence we got the BBMumbaiHQ edit ...

Aha! The written updates were my favourites

You're right, how incredibly obtuse of me to think otherwise

Race in Australia is always controversial unfortunately.

And believe it or not, I agree as well. My doubting Thomasina-ness has never been about the distance/time apart so much as how they (esp. she, obviously) seemed to be dealing with it, and whether the time between visits was to do with normal life reasons as opposed to lack of effort or weirdly restrictive dog custody. But (if they are still solid), it does seem like a healthy thing for the time being. Not easy, surely, but good.

I know, I know! But they had no issue with advertising the Italian language (which I loved- that scene where bb and jade spoke Italian was exquisite), they also showed mikkaylas issues with the way she looked due to her Asian background, plus they had theme nights such as Mexican or Japanese. I'd say that the indigenous community deserved a representation of some sort too if they were going to do these theme nights. Anyways, I do understand that they want to perhaps avoid it because it is a sensitive topic amongst many and I can see how it can move away from the bb concept. But just as my opinion, I think it does suck.
I almost said this last night when I was speculating on what Tully and Drew's financial situation now but I'd rambled enough so I chopped it all out... but I really do think out of all the HMs Tahan had the best plan going into the house (keeping her 9 to 5 job instead of quitting and hoping/expecting something would fall in their laps as others did) and now has the most stable and 'normal' life coming out of it. She comes across as a very well-grounded girl and from all accounts from those who've met her they feel the same. She didn't need BB to give her a good life as she already had a full one before going on it and anything that's come out of it now is just a bonus. None of that talk about how she has nothing to go back to on the outside like a few of the others, very strong ties to her family and her boyfriend, etc. I didn't agree with her retweeting negative things about others when she initially got out of the house but I'm willing to give her a pass on that and assume she was still caught up in the BB bubble as that's stopped now. Even going through the effort to send, and in some cases re-send, gifts to her fans really impressed me. She'd be a great ambassador for the Aboriginal community and I was so happy to see her do some work with them after coming out and I'm positive that will continue long after we've moved on to the next round of BB contestants. And thanks for posting the vid Layla! I probably would've missed it otherwise and I'm so glad I didn't but also sad/frustrated like the rest of you that we live in an age where her conversations wouldn't be deemed worthy of making it to air.

well i need a new town to live in going by all this, we obviously don't have matching tatts on our upper arms
sound like what some are saying is that they need space from each other, and that it's good to separate for periods to chill, but i don't agree with that. sounds too easy
anyway, the first stage has to be commitment so if they have that then hopefully that is all both of them need. 25 and 26, hard call

I think it's more about keeping your identity and perhaps for both, understanding that being a couple doesn't mean living in one another's pockets.
Living in one another's pocket -- which I think is how they do&did relationships. So very very full on.

i understand that but it's at the stage people want part-time relationships to keep their identity, but i also see the growing number of dysfunctional families. for some, where is home anymore? there has to be a stable place for people to connect if they want to call it a relationship. that's me and my emotional thoughts on this

love is full on, and you do share everything. you can still have independence, it's just in a different form. i think i am slightly one-eyed on this topic

I think that first you need to be stable within yourself though, so I see all this as a positive for Tully. that said, I understand what you're saying.

Couples who work and don't work together are apart 8+ hours a day and have other things and people to focus on. That's not where they are right now. I don't think anyone is saying that long distance would be best long term if this relationship lasts. But if it works okay for now, it does seem like a potentially good learning experience for both of them.

i am probably having an Ed episode in explaining myself
i'll refer to the old saying, 'whatever works for them'
