Talk to Timdormer (yes it's really me)

@Timdormer if you had of been in this series, how do you think you'd have played it? Who would be your "targets" and who would you have allied with? Would you have kept much of the same strategy that you used last season?

@Timdormer have you spoken to Rohan since you left the house? It seems he's deliberately set out to be controversial and extroverted in his tweets, which seems to have got a lot of ex-housemates off side with him.

Yes it's a shame I haven't had much to do with him post show because I was a big supporter of him inside the house. I remember the week he was in the halfway house up for eviction, I called him over to the fence and said "Rohan, do you want to stay in this game? Here's what you need to do"...he didn't do it. I was genuinely really sad to see him go, I counted him as a misfit and he was CRUCIAL in week 3 in beginning my strategic move to take down the cool group.
I have not ever been offended by anything he has written to me on social media. There are a lot worse cases of ex housemates trying to gain attention by starting so called "feuds" with me in public.

Hi Tim, what are your thoughts on the highly edited, overly sanitized version of BB that is aired these days?

I have been a hard core fan since the inception of BB, but I am finding it extremely hard to connect with any of the contestants this year.

On several occasions, I have even deleted recorded episodes (I am a shift worker and need to record some) without watching...something I would never in a million years have done in the past.

I can remember having to increase my download capacity the years we could pay for live streaming, so that I did not miss a moment!

I felt so in touch with the goings on in the house when we had live streaming, and to compare it with what we have now is like comparing a Lord of the Rings movie with a Big Bang Theory episode.

It isn't like they don't have the means to deliver the product we want, they have two sister stations that just play fill most of the time! I have no idea why they don't capitalize on that and play live streaming on GEM from 20:30 each night for example. (The station would need to include plenty of disclaimers, but it is certainly doable).

Yep I agree! But that show in it's original format is long gone! Watching this season play out has been a bit of an eye opener for me, you see I never watched my season. I found myself feeling uncomfortable, wondering what actually went to air in my season?
Big brother continues to perform well in it's demographic, which is what really matters. I guess the people in charge are thinking if it ain't broke, don't fix it?

Yeah, except they're passing on it could be so much more. Don't settle for Homebrand when you can buy brand names.
Anyway. Keep on being yourself. You're good at it. LOL

@Timdormer hmm what was you're fav memory in BB. apart from winning the money ;)

Let's get one thing straight, I didn't care about the money. I still don't. I think that's why I gave away a lot of it, I shared it to the other housemates and my family because I felt like they had all contributed to my success. If a fan ever came up to me on the street and asked for a dollar, I'd buy them lunch...haha I think some of the skater rats at Bondi have taken advantage of this a little too often! I would have played just as hard if there was no prize, at least then that would have separated the players from the greedy or the charity cases!
I have sooo many favourite memories. I actually now am starting to cry. Sorry I dont wanna go there right now!! I loved nearly every minute. Aghhh such a sook. It was a year this Thursday since finale night. I'm having a tough week balancing overjoy of a fantastic year of oppertunity and blessing mixed with sadness of nostalgia!

I think that what you have said here is what a lot of people don't get. Hey, money is great, but it's not the be all and end all of life. Worrying you don't have enough, worry what to do with too much (and yes, people do) some forget about enjoying life.
I think that's the main thing I took away from last year's Doesn't matter what others think or want. Live for now.

Well I have to log off. I'm glad you chose to stay @Timdormer. I still think you are a legend and thanks for answering some of our questions, mate.

Come back soon :)

DITTO! All of us here at my place love you lots Tim! Cool dudes like Bleachy give me hope for this site, never mind the cynics.

Can't wait to see the Graceland project. Hope I'm not opening a topic for haters, but I especially loved the reverance displayed by U2 in their G visit on rattle & hum, and I think the origin of your project was Ben's revering of E, so really looking forward.

All the best to you mate!
