Even so, I've actually really enjoyed rewatching this series, particularly the episodes I have seen that have aired in the last 12 hours.Honestly apart from Vesna and maybe Tim, the BB05 cast was fairly unlikeable all around

Wahoo!
They picked some "great" people for the Intruders, as their post-BB history shows.
Rita:
Former Big Brother contestant attacked eight on her wedding day
Heath:
Former TV star on sex assault charge amid Geelong fraud probe
Ex-Big Brother boy in court

I don’t think they were unlikeable. They were just boring!BB02 has entered the chat…

It’s still definitely entertaining. But this series apart from only a few lacked in those warm personalities that the earlier seasons had.Even so, I've actually really enjoyed rewatching this series, particularly the episodes I have seen that have aired in the last 12 hours.

The problem with 2002 is they knew the amount of exposure they’re getting and were clearly acting up for it.I don’t think they were unlikeable. They were just boring!

Also I just reminded myself of the eviction and the gross males really did get kicked off one by one from here on in![]()
Yes I am pre-emptively pretty excited for this now, those men almost certainly thought they were all well loved on the outside as well as thinking they ran the house. Rewatching it I was horrified at the ongoing misogyny and while it is a relic of a (thankfully) by gone era I am pleased to see they all slowly but steadily came undone.
Just a shame one of them slipped through the cracks…
Even at the time the blokey boofiness was obvious and overwhelming. Ugh. I wonder if Carmel did anything to try and dissuade them from casting this lot.Yes I am pre-emptively pretty excited for this now, those men almost certainly thought they were all well loved on the outside as well as thinking they ran the house.

I really wasn’t sure if it was perceived that way at the time, I did watch it but don’t recall. I’m glad even then people hated this.
It would have been a great arc if Tim could have beaten all of the gross jocks, or even if a woman had done it with Vesna.

And yes interesting with Carmel. I noticed she was almost phased out altogether once it moved away from a “social experiment” type of show but surely she was still involved behind the scenes with casting and pre-production. Kind of hard to imagine her doing more than providing support during filming with the way the show went.

Rude.They cross to the waiting room and Rita says "she looks older than on TV don't you reckon?" (talking about Gretel).

Running list of eps from this season with missing master tapes so far:bigbrotherau: Yes only a few tape issues this season this eviction is one being looked at
- BB05 Daily Show 1 (first 11mins only)
- BB05 Nominations 1
- BB05 Eviction 3
Oh, the ick factor was high and obvious. Gretel managed to laugh it off for the cameras but I have no doubt had that happened in a bar she'd have told him to fuck off in no uncertain terms.The way Gretel recoiled when he kissed her cheek just before sitting down...![]()

Just dropping by, Iirc think they ended up having Glenn and Michelle face off in one of those Ready Steady Cook specials LOL. And the Bowling alley in the corner of the house that was revealed after like a week or two.
I Remember that divider in the bedroom during the school task where they are up to, didn't it remain up and they used one side (or both sides? there was that little window in the middle haha) of it for the rest of the time as the numbers got smaller?
