OH

Yeah, here is the racist 'incident' regarding the 'slits':

Jesus that was a tough watch. How did Terri go on to win?

 

[jessy_girl]

I'm only up to the first eviction for 2006, the double eviction, and it's awesome to see how nice and kind Gretel was to Elise. She really liked her

Yeah Gretel was usually pretty nice to the women I found and Elise seemed sweet and was extremely unproblematic.

I noticed Elise wasn’t at FNL that week but Tilli was, I wonder why?

It boggles the mind. And why did production want her to win so badly anyway?

The status of having the oldest housemate in the world to win, maybe?

Quick question for the gays, forgive me for objectifying him but do you find Dave hot?

To me he seems objectively very handsome but it feels like it’s almost exclusively middle aged women and old aunty types that lust after him.

No real point to this survey, I am just curious.

I’m gay and found him hot (maybe the only gay in the "village" here who did, lol). He had beautiful wavy brown hair and is a country guy. My kryptonite, lol. He was a comfort for me in 2006 when I was an early teen and represented a different type of gay guy not really seen on Australian TV before. I will always have a soft spot for him.

Gay here. He's not my type, but I can see why people find him attractive.

I prefer Mediterranean/Middle Eastern looking dudes.

It really spins me out how different Krystal looks these days. Ageing is of course expected but she still looks quite young but facially so different. Karen looks basically the same but Krystal I’m not even sure I’d recognise.

Her face is more thinner? Nose and lips are different. She's still rather pretty to me.

Karen is ageing gracefully. Btw because of this thread, I had a dream of Karen and I saw her making out with David (instead of Tili) in the bathroom. Lmao.

 

[dasnico]

They both look great, but good lord Krystal looks like a totally different person!

I found him extremely attractive when this season first aired and remember being upset I would've been too young for him! I think he's aged gracefully and still think he's adorable (looks wise and personality wise). I'm fond of BB6 simply because of him. Probably nostalgia more than anything.

Just on the incident, cop a load of this. Michael is an asshole.

I watched 30 seconds of him speaking and had to turn it off. David’s Turning Point comment about him doesn’t seem so off the mark now. He looks and sounds disturbed. Also seems a bit drug affected.

That was also 2 years ago. I’m fearful what he’d be like today.

Yeah I immediately thought of what David had said as well and it makes more sense having seen this.

I didn't realise Gretel had a Sonia moment with her autocue hahaha
She played it off a lot better than Sonia ever did

In her mind she is punching him in the face.

There's another one in 07, an eviction (unsure which one) where there's no autocue from the start and she improvises as much as she can poor bugger.

Any reports on what she was like to work with. Was she OK with anyone who wasn't male housemate?

 

[CarmelHill]

No, I think the last time she was used onscreen was perhaps the BB03 first week specials wasnt it. All those 'Under The Radar' and 'Voice Stress Analysis' episodes they did this season would've been a good time to bring her back out for a psych segment ala BBUK often had a varied team of regular Psych's on occasionally which I have personally found really interesting viewing some of their bits, but instead It's pretty much left to Gretel iirc to attempt explaining whats going on with the specialised tools and on screen graphics they are using.

Like Big Brother, I am always here as a THEXY THYCOLOGIST

 

[Rison]

There's been quite a few moments where the autocue has something wildly incorrectly incorrect on it, or its just completely broken where she just pauses for as plit second and then she starts adlibbing. Sonia would only be able to stand there looking like a fool.

The most memorable autocue error for me was in one 2003 nominations show, where someone had put in that Uncut airs at 7pm and the Daily Show at 9:30PM.
