OH PLEASE. That's absurd. The second part may well be the case, but the first is such a ridiculous lie, why even bother?

He's basically saying that they cast Jake without his having disclosed that he lives with last year's winner. Why would people think that's better?
For the record, I don't think it's that big a deal and it doesn't affect how I see the HMs themselves, but all the secrecy and sloppy CYA bullshit seems so ludicrous.

REVEALED: New Big Brother contestant Jake and last year's winner Tim Dormer are real life housemates as pictures emerge of the pair shopping together before lockdown
Last year's winner Tim Dormer changed the way Big Brother was played thanks to his strategic and quirky personality.
And less than 24 hours after comparisons between Tim and 2014 contestant Jake Richardson were made, it's been revealed that the pair are in fact real life housemates in Sydney's Bondi Beach.
The pair were spotted together in Bondi Junction just a day before Jake flew out for the Gold Coast on August, 30.

Big Brother 2014 recap: Four new housemates sees BB tally rise to 16
WE’VE already been acquainted with the first dozen housemates for 2014, but Big Brother had a surprise in store for the six pairs during the latest live show.
Just as they were making themselves at home, four more housemates were thrown in the mix.
So far, this year’s batch seems to be predominantly made up of easy-on-the-eye, super confident 20-something singles all heaped together under the one roof. At first glance, the newbies don’t seem to stray too far from the mould.

Here are the latest additions:
Aisha, 22, from Sydney.
What we know: Aisha is a retail assistant who is sports mad and has a personal trainer’s certificate. She also claims to be a budding wine connoisseur. At 22, really?
“I owe my appreciation of red wine to my gran, who is also my bestie. She introduced me to fine wine and what foods it goes with. Now I love it.”
Aisha also warns everyone that she gets hangry when she hasn’t eaten.

Sam, 26, from Melbourne.
What we know: Sam is a Paralympian and motivational speaker. He broke the 100m Butterfly world record at the 2004 Athens Paralympics when he was just 16. Sam says everything he does is based around humour and often uses his prosthetic leg as an opportunity to pull pranks.

Lawson, 23, from Perth.
What we know: Lawson is an apprentice sparky, but says it’s magic tricks that really spark him up. Of course, our BB bunch wouldn’t be complete without a resident magician in the house.
Lawson says he plans on making friends with everyone.

She was married for seven years before separating and opting for the single life. Cat says she’s “ready for something new and exciting” in her life.

Will Big Brother be the making of Canberra real estate agent Jason Roses?
In some lines of work, a stint on reality television could potentially limit a career, but for Jason Roses who stepped into the Big Brother house on Monday night, the fame could potentially help his.
The 26-year-old Luton Properties agent is one of 16 contestants who will spend every moment of a possible three months under the watchful eye of the Big Brother cameras.
Real Estate Institute of Australia president Peter Bushby said that while he hasn't watched the show for a number of years, he believes the experience could help a real estate professional in the long run.
"The thing with Big Brother is that you need to be something of an extrovert in the first place and if you go in with your eyes wide open, the world's certainly going to get you know better," he said.
"And certainly afterwards depending on how you're portrayed, they could turn out to be very well known. And if they stay in real estate they could go on to be a great identity. Real estate is a people industry - being well known is part of getting business."
Luton Properties director Richard Luton said he expected Roses to do well in the competition, as well as when he returns to regular life.

"He will go very, very well because he's actually got a heart and he's just a generally nice person and he's always thinking about other people," he said.
"He's a successful man in his own right and he's got a lot of loyal and following customers that he's done great results for in the past and I think that will continue."
This year's contestants must compete in pairs with complete strangers, with Roses paired up with 24-year-old fitness fanatic Dion.
"They'll be a good match. Jason goes to the gym and now he's got probably his own personal trainer for the next three months," Mr Luton said

COAST surfer Ryan Ginns looks set to cause mischief in the Big Brother house.
The 26-year-old, who grew up at Mooloolaba and attended Matthew Flinders Anglican College, was one of 12 fresh faces to enter the reality show's self-contained house at Dream World on the Gold Coast last night.
The launch show revealed the twist of this year's series and a world first for the brand: the housemates have been paired up to compete in the social experiment as duos.
As the final housemate of the night to be introduced, Ginns was paired up with 24-year-old Victorian Travis, whom he immediately started calling "Travie".
Ginns and his fellow housemates will be under constant surveillance with cameras covering every possible angle as they learn to cope without the stimulation of TV, music, books or mobile phones.
Growing up with three sisters might help Ginns navigate the politics of the show, with Big Brother granting two big female personalities special power over events in the house.
"I think I would know more about girls than any of the other guys," he said.
"It's because I was brought up with three sisters. I bet a lot of guys have no idea what a GHD is or what the term 'I don't want one, I'm not hungry' really means."
Ginns studied advertising and graphic design at the University of the Sunshine Coast and recently moved to Sydney.
But Big Brother has brought him back to southeast Queensland and he appears to be off to a good start, with psychological profiles determining him and Travis to be a "good match", according to host Sonia Kruger.

Screen Queensland supports Big Brother
[Tue 09/09/2014 5:19 PM]
By Press release
Screen Queensland is proud to be a financial supporter of Big Brother 2014 via its Production Incentive funding program due to the significant economic and employment benefits the television series brings to Queensland.
Big Brother launched on the Nine Network last night with a total reach of 2.45 million nationally including metro and regional viewers and ranking in the top 10 most watched programs for the night.
For the next 100 days, the television series will spend over $17 million in Queensland by the producers Endemol Australia and will employ over 300 people.
“It is crucial we support Big Brother as it plays a large role in the economic, employment and skills’ development opportunities to Queensland’s screen technicians,” said Screen Queensland CEO Tracey Vieira.
“Big Brother is a huge production and post-production employer and not only creates jobs but retains our valuable crew here in Queensland.
"This is vital so that we maintain a large, skilled crew-base and in turn attract other interstate and international productions to our state.”
Approximately 11,000 hours of footage will be recorded each week from which the team of producers and editors will have just 12 hours to compile a daily program, six days a week. All action in the house is being captured by 50 cameras and 92 microphones.
Cutting Edge is providing all technical infrastructure of both the broadcast and post production elements with 22 Avid edit suites being housed at Big Brother and many in use at the same time.
Filmed at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast, it is not only the direct benefits to the Queensland screen industry that will result from the production but also the flow on effects of the series including stimulating cultural tourism and facilitating cultural engagement.
Big Brother is a major tourist attraction. Dreamworld expects more than 20,000 people to tour around the production site and more than 10,000 people to attend the live eviction shows throughout the series.
Other indirect impacts of the production are its linkages to other sectors of the economy with local organisations in the areas of security, transport, construction and accommodation to commercially benefit from the production.
Big Brother is the latest in back-to-back screen activity, which is positioning Queensland as the premier filming destination in Australia. Domestic production has increased from $33 million in 2012-13 to $42 million in 2013-14, an increase of 27%.
Last week, another television series called the Hiding, wrapped from shooting two weeks of its eight-part television drama series in and around the Gold Coast. Screen Queensland supported this project with $151,000 in Production Investment funding.
Produced by Playmaker Media for the ABC, the Hiding stars Queensland’s James Stewart (Packed to the Rafters) as part of its impressive cast.
Playmaker is behind other popular television series such as Love Child and House Husbands and picked up an AWGIE Award last week as presented by the Australian Writers Guild for their television series, The Code.

Big Brother is so named because of the evil leader in George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. But not many Aussies seem to know that
September 09, 2014 3:03PM
by: ANTHONY SHARWOOD
WELL that was a surprise. Or maybe it wasn’t. No, come to think of it, that wasn’t much of a surprise at all.
News.com.au just took to the streets of Australia to see if people who watch the TV show Big Brother know why it’s actually called Big Brother.
The response of the random individuals we interviewed? Donut. Bagel. *Frisbee. Zero. Not a single person of the 20 or so we spoke to had the faintest idea of the reason behind the show’s name.
If you’re in that boat too, this story is for you. Read it to the end. Because Big Brother says you should.
The show Big Brother takes its title from the famous novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.
Big Brother as he was imagined by film-makers in the film of the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, released in 1984. Note the similarities to Stalin and Hitler, the tyrants of Orwell’s day. Source: NewsComAu
Published in 1949, Nineteen Eighty-Four is universally regarded as one of the great novels of the 20th century, not to mention a spookily prescient view of the future.
In Orwell’s imagined dystopian hell, England (now called Airstrip One) is part of a larger geopolitical entity called Oceania which is run by a totalitarian regime. Thinking original thoughts is a crime. Love is a crime. Basically everything worth living for is a crime in a world whose every last corner is surveilled by cameras and spies.
Controlling all this is a figure known only as Big Brother. Think Kim Jong-un without a boyish face, or without any face really, because Big Brother may or may not even exist. The spectre of him, the very idea of Big Brother, is in many ways more frightening than the reality of Big Brother.
The only other thing you need to know, by way of historical reference, is that Orwell wrote the book after witrnessing the tyrannical regimes of Hitler in Germany and Stalin in Russia.
OK, so there’s your background. Now here’s where this gets interesting.
And here are some flamingos at the Big Brother house to lighten the mood a little. Source: Channel 9
In the late 1990s when a bunch of Dutch TV producers conceived the first series of a show which would go on to be franchised in as many as 70 countries, they came up with the name “Big Brother” as a reference to the round-the-clock, round-the-world surveillance of Orwell’s fictional world. The TV character of Big Brother represented the all-seeing eye behind the cameras, and there was a slightly dark, unnerving overtone to that.
These days, things have changed. The character and indeed the concept of TV’s Big Brother has no such negative connotations.
In Orwell’s novel, we cheer for Winston Smith, the staunch individualist who fights Big Brother before ultimately capitulating to him. On the TV show Big Brother, most of us cheer for Big Brother himself as he ritually humiliates the tryhards competing for public profile and future jobs as radio hosts on regional FM stations no one has heard of.
This image of the 2014 Big Brother House is empty and vaccuous, just like the contestants now occupying it. Source: Channel 9
And if you think about it, this shift mirrors a shift in society’s attitude. In the late 1990s, surveillance was still regarded as something a little dark and wrong. Today, surveillance is a readily accepted part of life – from security cameras in the street to the trails we leave online at our every cyberstep.
In other words, Big Brother probably hasn’t changed that much, but our attitude towards him has. Which is kind of interesting when you think about it.
*Anyway, now you know why the show is called Big Brother. Oh, and when we used the image of a frisbee to suggest the number zero, obviously we meant one of those Frisbees with a hole in it.

Hot new housemates alert! From a paralympian to bar hostess and a magician - Big Brother's four new contestants are scorching hot in latest swimwear shoot
Drama continued on Tuesday night's episode of Big Brother Australia as four new housemates were thrown into the mix.

Bikini babe: Sydneysider Aisha wasn't afraid to strip down for the shoot and is tipped to be a fave with the male contestants
Brown-haired stud Sam from Melbourne wasn't afraid to flaunt his buff physique for the photo shoot
Beach bombshell: The 22-year-old bared her enviable figure in a floral printed bikini for the photo call
Brunette beauty: The Sydney-based stunner who fronts doors at busy nightclubs, wore her luscious caramel locks up in a high pony-tail
Posing against a balcony overlooking the mesmerising Gold Coast beachfront, Sam was certainly in his element as he smiled for the camera.

Wonder what people think of this rant. Big brother has changed, but can't people take it for what it is and just enjoy the ride these people go on? Apparently some people can't.

'You're as deep as a paddling pool': Big Brother's Skye breaks down after fellow housemate Gemma says she's 'too Barbie' and mentions her cosmetic enhancements.
When 20-year-old barista Skye entered Australia's Big Brother house on Monday, the outspoken blonde bombshell certainly had heads turning.
But it seems the chatty beach babe's confidence was given a little shake-up during Tuesday's episode of the reality show, with the bubbly personality reduced to tears.
Skye's waterworks truly began after an intense conversation with fellow housemate Gemma, as the pair discussed Skye's facial cosmetic enhancements and perceptions of one another.

That 'journalist' almost never has positive things to say about anything. Considering they thought so little I'm not really sure why they took so many words to get their point across. Really.. the most relevant thing they said was about themselves... "Look. I’m an enormous wanker" pretty much summed it up.
I think this season has a lot of potential to be very interesting. For most the people in there look like it will be a good mix and I'm really excited about it all. The only thing I think is a dumbarse move is not having live updates.
What amuses me a lot is the people who criticise the now by saying how great the past was are the exact same people who were vocal in their criticism of that same past at the time lol.
THE latest batch of fame hungry housemates could be locked in the Big Brother compound for up to 80 days, so will they get paid for their time and if so, how much?
An insider has revealed to news.com.au that each of the contestants will get paid $75 a day as a living away from home allowance.
That’s $525 a week or $2,325 a month.
Of course, they could also earn big bucks if they go on to win the Channel 9 reality show with last year’s winner, Tim Dormer, pocketing $250,000.
On $75 a day, someone like Ryan (r) should be able to afford sleeves! Source: Channel 9
A measly $75 a day may not sound like much but according to one former Big Brother contestant, it’s more than enough.
“$500 a week for doing not much … sure I thought that was enough,” said Joel Scalzi who lasted 92 days in the house in 2007.
“The money more than covered my bills and my rent while I was on the show ... plus I won a $7,000 bonus (from one of the sponsors for lasting so long in the house) and a car worth $20,000.
“It was definitely worthwhile.”

An insider has revealed to news.com.au that each of the contestants will get paid $75 a day as a living away from home allowance.
That’s $525 a week or $2,325 a month.
Of course, they could also earn big bucks if they go on to win the Channel 9 reality show with last year’s winner, Tim Dormer, pocketing $250,000.

THE latest batch of fame hungry housemates could be locked in the Big Brother compound for up to 80 days, so will they get paid for their time and if so, how much?

$500.00 in 2007 and $525.00 in 2014. That's not much of an increase in 7 years
Yeah, I was just going to say that $500 would have gone a bit further back in 2007 than now. Depending on how much they're paying in rent, that might not be enough to cover expenses now.
