Big Brother's contrived conflict seems to be working

Lisa and David have fallen out over boobgate, Skye has a schoolgirl crush, and a $30,000 contest is about to cause more friction between the Big Brother housemates.

The contrived conflict is all part of the Nine Network's attempt to deliberately cause mayhem in the house, rather than let it evolve naturally like it has in previous years.
And it seems to be working.

Boobgate has been a talking point among all the housemates after Lisa heard David talking to the other males about female bodies, which included her breasts.


The conversation was supposed to be private but Lisa was in the secret pamper room that allows the females to listen in on the males' conversations.

David tried to smooth it over with Lisa on Monday with an apology but it bombed.
Lisa said she was offended by his comments and even went further to say he was not a person she would socialise with in the real world.

No sooner had Lisa started firing verbal barbs at David, social media returned fire at Lisa with the hashtag hypocrite.
"Lisa complained about David talking about her body, yet she insulted his eyes being close together #hypocrite," tweeted Heather Belle.

Emma tweeted: "Lisa needs to shut up about #boobgate on Big Brother. Move on girl."
The tension between the pair left a massive opening for the new Heads of House Jason and Dion, who could change two couples with one move to strategically unite Lisa and David.

The power to switch teams was ahead of Tuesday's $30,000 winner-take-all knockout contest between the eight couples.
The aim of Dion and Jason's power was to create two weaker teams so they had a better chance of winning the booty.

Instead of teaming Lisa and David, they dismantled the bromance between Travis and Ryan, who are considered one of powerful pairs in the compound at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast.
Travis is now partnering Cat, while Ryan has teamed up with Sam.
Not that Cat minded because she immediately put her arms around Travis while he rubbed her arm.

In the meantime, dreamy Gold Coast blonde Skye revealed to Big Brother that she has a schoolgirl crush on Jake.
"It's like being back in primary school again," Skye said while sitting in the diary room.
"He's so attractive, the way he dresses...his smile, oh, god now I'm sounding obsessed."
It'll be interesting to see if Skye can stop talking and thinking about Jake long enough to concentrate on winning $30,000.

Big Brother has a lot to answer for this year, starting with THAT hot tub!THEY’VE only been in there for just over a week, but we’ve already copped a look at much more than we bargained for in the Big Brother house.

In record time, the sexual tension between the housemates has reached boiling point — boys pashing girls, girls straddling boys, girls hooking up with other girls in the spa. We’re starting to miss the early days of the ‘Dancing Doona’ — at least the lewd antics were confined to the bedroom.

For those who have been shunning this season of Nine’s reality TV show, allow me to quickly bring you up to speed.
• We have 16 housemates (no one has been eliminated yet), of which 14 are conveniently unattached.
• The BB house is brimming with self-confessed show ponies, readily flaunting their sculpted biceps and bikini bods for the 50 cameras installed throughout the two-storey pad.
• The house now has a fishbowl built in the garden which housemates get shoved in, sometimes overnight.
• There’s also a tree house for housemates to gossip in.
• So far, Skye and Jake have locked lips, as have Ryan and Katie, Aisha and Travis, and Skye and Aisha.
• They’ve also got a limited budget, which is controlled by two housemates at a time, meaning everyone is constantly talking about money and food.
• We’ve witnessed tears from at least one housemate each night, most recently after David told the boys that he finds Lisa’s breasts “unattractive”, which of course she overheard.
What. The. F*ck?

Not to mention, the show-and-tell nightmare that is Big Brother isn’t proving to be quite the ratings blockbuster that Nine has celebrated in recent years. Monday night’s episode managed 817,000 viewers, while Sunday night barely scraped into the top 20 shows for the evening, with just 432,000 tuning in.
Nine has copped plenty of flak from dejected viewers over the gaudy types they chose to throw in the house this year, and it’s showing in the early results.
Which begs the question — what exactly is the point of it all?

Surely our tastes as viewers have progressed beyond wanting to keep up with the daily drama that goes on inside this reality TV torture chamber? We want to see our contestants work towards an end goal and be rewarded for showcasing some sort of talent (MasterChef, The Voice, DWTS), not gallivanting around in a confined space like a bunch of wild animals.
Yes, one could argue that the lure of Big Brother is the shiny pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but does this mean we all have to sit around and watch the clowns battle it out under the big top before we reach the curtain closer?
Apparently so.

And they're getting their base tan on ... again. Riveting stuff. Source: News Corp Australia
17-year-old schoolgirl me might, might, have been mildly interested in watching these super single, super confident, semi-clothed reality “stars” fooling around on national television while I try to eat my dinner, but the relatively grown-up viewer is ever hopeful that we’ll be treated to more. More substance, more diversity, more genuine relationships formed, more progression between the sexes beyond men discussing women’s assets in public.
And more clothing. Thanks, Big Brother.

Big Brother Australia housemate David gives worst apology to Lisa after claiming her breasts sagged “low”
IS THIS what guys are REALLY like?

The ol’ fishbowl that we know as Big Brother - particularly its gentlemen (we use the term loosely) - have caused a “storm in a D-Cup” after a female housemate caught them rating other female housemate’s bodies.
Last night, 31-year-old David gave an insincere apology to Lisa and palmed blame to the rest of the male housemates after she heard him claim her breasts sagged “low”.
“I’m sorry that you’re upset,” he said to the 29-year-old.
“Boys will be boys when they’re around. I have probably done the wrong thing, but ... I’m not alone ... it wasn’t just me.
“Ive spoken to many of the boys, they don’t think that anything I said in there was ... you know ... anything.”
Let’s rewind.

It all started on Sunday night’s episode when the boys of the Big Brother house began a discussion over which housemate had the better boobs.
Talk soon turned to a debate between whose was better; strip club manager Lisa’s or Nanny Katie?
Kat’s breasts are way better than Lisa’s,” decided 24-year-old Travis.
What the boys didn’t know, though, was that Lisa, and a number of the girls, were in the “secret pamper room”, which allows the women to listen in on the male housemate’s conversations.
But it was hipster David’s comments that really struck a nerve.
“They’re good, but they’re pretty low, aren’t they?” he asked nonchantly.
“They sag a bit,” answered Travis.
“I think Katie’s got the best, they’re real. They’re fantastic,” responded David.
A visibly upset Lisa skolled her glass of bubbles before letting the girls know, “OMG they were just bitching about my breasts.

“It’s mean putting me on show in front of all the boys in the room. I’m onto the fact that’s he’s a little creep.”
Enter the chorus line of support from the girls, including “that’s so mean” and “Dave’s such a d**k”.

Who let the dogs out? Big Brother's two new 'housemates' revealed to be poodles while David continues to make enemies by commenting on Sandra's thighs
By Maria Lewis for Daily Mail Australia



From stray dogs to animal behaviour, things turned a tad wild in the Big Brother house on Tuesday.
The housemates were sent into overdrive when the 'intruder alert' siren began blaring in the morning, signaling the announcement of two new personalities.
But they were less housemates and more house pets - literally - with two adorable white poodles sending the house into a cuteness frenzy.

Skye high: Gold Coast housemate Skye gets up and close to the two new intruders in the Big Brother house
Two-year-old miniature poodle Ned and six-month old standard poodle Kelly were welcomed with squeals of delight, with Kelly even taking a quick dip in the pool.

Pair Skye and Lisa were appointed their official carers by Dion and Jason (who hold the ultimate power) and the girls were rapt.
But it wasn't all joy and light, with David's comments once again getting him in trouble with the housemates.
It wasn't Lisa with her 'unattractive' breasts that he insulted this time, but rather one of his few allies in the house: his partner Sandra.

Puppy love: Ryan took to Kelly, the younger poodle, carrying it around like a baby at various moments

Dog delight: The housemates thought they were getting two new human contestants but were surprsied

Good cause: The pets came from the Animal Welfare League Queensland after they were left for adoption
In a moment with the girls earlier on, Sandra had admitted to being 'frustrated' and 'really annoyed' by David's behaviour before later having a chat with him to resolve the issue.
'I know I annoy people, I annoy people on the outside of the house too,' said David.
But it was only a few hours later when he was back at it during a conversation with Sandra, Sam and Dion by the pool.
As the group lounged about sunbathing, Sandra complained about the size of her thighs.
'It's exercise, not a magic wand,' was David's retort.

Taking a dip: Kelly was particular fond of the pool area and even dived in at one point

Settling in: Ned is a two-year-old miniature poodle while Kelly is a six-month old standard poodle

The other housemates seemed too shocked to respond at first, before Sam leaped to Sandra's defence.
'That's not how you speak to women Dave,' he said.
Dion added: 'I'm not going to buy you a pick(axe), just keep on digging.'
Sandra put on a brave face before replying: 'Say what you want, I love my thighs... they're big.'
'Well stop complaining about them then,' said David.
After soon apologising, the at-odds pair attempted to get on with their day before David once again put his foot in it.
Sandra was reduced to tears when David told her that if she kept cleaning the house, she would get evicted.
'He said "Don't clean too much because last year people who cleaned too much got voted out",' she said to Lisa, who had a response of her own.
'Have you seen your beard (David)? How about you clean that.'
The pair had it out in the bedroom, after David realised that she was seriously upset.
'I hate that you're mad at me,' he said.
Sandra replied: 'Well don't say stupid stuff.'
'I can't help but say stupid stuff,' was his response.
It wasn't until he truly expressed his emotions that they was able to move past it.
'I'm distraught... I'm heartbroken. It's because of me, I'm the reason you always end up in tears and it destroys me.'
There was drama in the love department too, with Skye getting both Katie and Jason to ask Jake if he likes her.
Unfortunately, her crush wasn't overly enthused.
'I'm not really crushing on Skye at all... because we're not really about that,' Jake told Jason.
'Dude, I'm not really super keen to get stuck in a relationship after a week or pursue anything.
'Katie asked me the exact same question - I feel like you guys have been talking about it.'
Meanwhile, the competition for the ultimate pair began in earnest with Sandra and David beating Priya and Katie in the first round.

Two poodles to enter Big Brother house tonight
by Carla Tooma on September 16, 2014 10:15 pm

TWO Poodles will set tails wagging around the nation tonight when they enter the Big Brother house.
Ned & Kelly were sourced from the Animal Welfare League QLD (AWLQ) to be this year’s Big Brother house pets.
It’s the first time in Big Brother history that two dogs will be placed in the Big Brother house.

Ned is a three year old miniature poodle, while standard Poodle Kelly is just seven months old despite being much taller than Ned .
AWLQ Communications Manager Brooke Whitney says she looks forward to watching the poodles become part of the 2014 Big Brother family.

“This is the third year AWLQ has been asked to support the show by finding the housemates the perfect pet. We wanted to show Big Brother viewers that you can find all sorts of breeds in shelters, and that there is really no reason to look elsewhere when searching for a new family pet,” Ms Whitney says.

“They are very sweet dogs and are sure to bring out the very best in the housemates.”
Ned & Kelly will live in the house until the show ends and will then be found forever homes like previous Big Brother pets Mr Clooney and Delilah.

Sure, because standard poodles should be the same size as a miniature.

Hey, I thought tall gags weren't allowed anymore.

SHOUT OUT TO NED AND KELLY FOR BEING SO FUCKING CUTE!!!!!

Guest Post: Big Brother – Two More Dogs Arrive
by Reality Raver
BDD has kindly recapped the latest episode of Big Brother:
The episode begins with some recapping of the recent
power play by Dion and Jason. Jason in particular feels the pain of having to make and break partners.
The boy’s club is trying to approach the new partnerships philosophically. Travis is “devastated”.Ryan coos to him that “It’s only a game.We’re still “bros” ”
Did someone die? “We have a bond”. Both Ryan and Travis cry into their beer that they’re happy with the new partners, c’est la vie.Travis is mindful of the $30, 000 and mentions it specifically, posing that it’s gone
down the gurgler. This is pretty soppy stuff from people who’ve known each other nigh on a week.
Aisha and Lawson are having a chat and she wastes no time trashing David and we’re treated to some recapping
of Beard’s faux pas to Lisa. Sandra’s in the diary room putting the boot into the beard. He takes the joke too far, she says , he’s annoying and she “resents” him.

Take that David! Big Brother's bubbly blonde Sandra shows off her stunning body in bright blue bikini amid housemate's criticism of her curvier appearance

By Alicia Vrajlal for Daily Mail Australia

• 
  

Tuesday night's episode of Big Brother saw contestants Sandra and David come to blows after David criticised Sandra's appearance.
But in a recent exclusive photo shoot with Daily Mail Australia taken before she entered the house, Sandra exuded confidence as she showed off her toned body in a bright blue bikini.
The 30-year-old from Wagga Wagga in New South Wales, stunned in a triangle shaped bikini top with a fun, frilled edge.

Bikini body: Big Brother housemate Sandra exuded confidence as she showed off her toned body in a bright blue bikini in a recent photo shoot for Daily Mail Australia
And in a matching pair of swimming bottoms, had her toned torso on display for all to see.
The bubbly blonde who admits she is a fan of erotic fiction, beamed for the camera as she placed one hand on her hip.

Leaning her other slender arm on a balcony railing, the country girl was a natural in front of the camera.
Going on to flaunt her sexy back, Sandra showed off the back details of her bikini top which was secured with thin blue straps tied together.

Body on show: Sporting a pair of matching swimming bottoms, Sandra had her toned torso on display for all to see
She wore her blonde tresses out, styled in her signature ringlets, and kept her makeup simple yet still striking for the sizzling photo shoot.
Sandra's pout was painted a luscious light pink, her glossy lips complemented with lashings of jet black mascara.
There was plenty of drama during Tuesday night's episode, with David's comments once again getting him in trouble with the housemates.
It wasn't Lisa with her 'unattractive' breasts that he insulted this time, but rather one of his few allies in the house: his partner Sandra.
In a moment with the girls earlier on, Sandra had admitted to being 'frustrated' and 'really annoyed' by David's behaviour before later having a chat with him to resolve the issue.
'I know I annoy people, I annoy people on the outside of the house too,' said David.

Picture perfect: Sandra wore her blonde tresses out, styled in her signature ringlets, and kept her makeup simple yet still striking for the sizzling photo shoot

There was plenty of drama during Tuesday night's episode, with David's comments once again getting him in trouble with the housemates, and in particular affecting Sandra after he commented on her appearance
After soon apologising, the at-odds pair attempted to get on with their day before David once again put his foot in it.
Sandra was reduced to tears when David told her that if she kept cleaning the house, she would get evicted.
'He said "Don't clean too much because last year people who cleaned too much got voted out",' she said to Lisa, who had a response of her own.
'Have you seen your beard (David)? How about you clean that.'

'I hate that you're mad at me,' he said.
Sandra replied: 'Well don't say stupid stuff.'
'I can't help but say stupid stuff,' was his response.

Upsetting remarks: Sandra was upset a second time when David told herhousemates who cleaned often ended up evicted.
It wasn't until he truly expressed his emotions that they was able to move past it.
'I'm distraught... I'm heartbroken. It's because of me, I'm the reason you always end up in tears and it destroys me.'
In true Big Brother style, the reality show's drama has come with massive bombshells, with another housemate the talk of the town on the outside.
Dark-haired stud Jake, who is sold on the show as a 25-year-old from Brisbane, is in fact last year's winner Tim Dormer's real-life Sydney housemate.
On Tuesday Tim shared a Youtube video of himself shedding some light on his link to Jake.
'Jake is my housemate. Yep, my bedroom is behind me and Jake's room is off the kitchen,' Tim told his audience from the home-video shot in his Bondi pad.

Head-to-head: The partners had yet another argument, with David apologising for a second time that day

Reunited again: After admitting how much seeing her upset affected him the pair were able to get over it
Explaining he kept tight-lipped on the matter until now as he 'was told to by Big Brother,' the curly-haired prankster also added: 'I didn't want Jake's first impression to be clouded by this scandal that he's my housemate because the truth is he did get into the house on his own merit.'
While he acknowledged the pair have some similarities, Tim did claim that Jake 'is not the strategist that I was' and he won't necessarily campaign for his real-life housemate if he is not the most interesting this season.
Dismissing any suggestion of audition favouritism, Big Brother executive producer, Alex Mavrodaikis told Daily Mail Australia last week that the self-confessed 'prankster' had been in Sydney, where he studies, for all three of his past auditions.
'Jake has auditioned three times 2012,13 and 14. We cast him before we knew he lived with Tim but regardless, we cast housemates on their own merits not their associations,' he said.
'If anything it is a disadvantage as Jake is already being compared to last year's winner - big boots to fill.'
