Yes!

Hmm, trying to recall my TTBCOTS in 2007… after Bodie left, I’m pretty sure mine was Zoran. 😳 But I remember getting feels for both Thomas and Nick, too. (Controversial but I was not really a Billy boy.)

Zoran was attractive but he was so bland and boring. Nick was cute but his moody personality was a turn off. Nick was apparently so good looking that even Gretel called him "hot" when he was introduced on stage. Thomas was somewhat attractive, but he was more of a novelty. Bodie was meh.

Never found Billy hot. Blondish dudes aren't my type anyway.

I definitely remember this season more then 05-06.

It felt a bit more like classic BB and less like a house full of horny 20 year olds.

Which is why I find it so interesting that at least 90% of the comments for this season’s Yearbook post on both Instagram and Facebook are saying they have no memory of it, don’t remember any HMs and some saying this year has “bad vibes and energy”.

Meanwhile, here we are mostly praising it…
 
My only memories of the season:
  • Gretel's internal "I hate you" meter exploding when, after being evicted, she asks Jamie on the Nominations show "what questions were they asking [in your interviews today]?" and he replies with them asking if he had hooked up with Gretel the night before.
  • Emma controversy.
  • The disaster that is the finale after the vote counting computers melted due to the influx of votes due to the "graph decision".
  • Some blonde's ex-boyfriend was in the house.

Speaking of this, I somehow ended up finding an interview with him on YouTube a few months ago filmed a year or so ago.

In it, Billy said that production didn't want him to be a housemate. They wanted him to be a fake housemate and then once the twist was revealed, he'd leave (not quite sure what the point was of that). Anyway, since he was living in North America at the time - he told them that he would only agree to go in if he was a housemate and had a chance to win the money, otherwise its not happening.

Dunno if this is common knowledge or not.

Yeah I was literally just watching this a moment ago.

I don't even know how I found it. Was it the thing I found that was a bunch of Zoom calls with different HMs stitched together talking about BBAU as a retrospective type thing?.

If thats what I'm thinking of, the final part was never released. Or it was taken down.

Well I stumbled on it as well. This is Part 2, and I haven't watched Part 1 yet. Part 3 apparently never eventuated. And I have to say I don't remember many of the Seven era HMs. It's like they never existed.

I thought Gretel only hated on arrogant, patronizing men. Except that she was unusually harsh on Jamie during the nominations interview show, considering how dorky and awkward he was. She looked like she wanted to strangle him at parts and I saw it almost like high school bullying. The awkwardness between them was as sharp as a knife...

If the roles were reversed, and if Gretel were a male and Jamie was female, everyone would be calling Gretel a misogynist bully.

The including of 2020> housemates almost seems redundant. Granted I wasn’t there, but their experience wasn’t even a close call as those who were on 10 and 9.

I think the fact he was insisting people were asking if he’d fucked her was a sore spot - given the flack she got about Saxon previously. So she was just wanting to shut it down, and probably had suspicions he wasn’t even asked and he was just directly poking the bear.

Usually the interview questions question is asked at the very start of the chats, so it just set an unfortunate tone throughout.

To be fair, she was passive aggressive with him even before the question. She just never liked him, and that question provoked her more.
