By Sarah Sayers and Jenna Good for Daily Mail Australia

Published: 01:54 AEST, 8 November 2014 | Updated: 07:41 AEST, 8 November 2014

• They say change is as good as a holiday and it seems evicted Big Brother contestant Lawson Reeves wants both.
  
  The 23-year-old, who infamously cheated on his girlfriend of five years, Candice Leeder, was seen checking into QT hotel on the Gold Coast on Friday with his new love, Cat Law, 31 whom he romanced the BB house.
  
  After a day of riding roller coasters with third evictee, Aisha McKinnon, 22, the pair the Channel Ten lovebirds looked relaxed and carefree.
  
  
  
  
  
  Not hiding their love: Big Brother's Cat Law and Lawson Reeves flaunt their love as they check into QT hotel on the Gold Coast after a very public affair on the show
  
  Lawson and Cat reveal guilt over Big Brother romance
  
  
  
  
  Lawson, an apprentice electrician, helped take out some of the couples luggage from the boot of a taxi.
  
  
  He wore a pair of dark navy jeans, a khaki T-shirt and a long silver cross necklace hung around his neck and brightly-coloured trainers.
  
  His new girlfriend, who is eight years his senior, was dressed casually in light floral top that hung loosely off her tanned shoulders and white cut off shorts that showed off her curvy legs.
  
  A pair of low key silver Havaianas and tortoise shell coloured sunglasses completed the look.
  
  
  
  
  
  Fan moment: The group shook hands with her limousine driver in QT's hotel lobby
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Fast friends: Cat was happy to give the driver a hug, and fellow Big Brother contestant, Aisha McKinnon offered a hand shake
  
  Their limousine driver helped them put their bags on the side walk, and Lawson was the first to extend a firm hand shake before Cat offered a warm hug and Aisha shook his hand coyly.
  
  Moments after Lawson and Cat were seen heading into their private hotel room, the pair re-emerged in different outfits before leaving the hotel.
  
  The pair both switched into more comfortable sweat pants and Lawson opted for a button-on printed shirt.
  
  
  
  
  
  Exhausted after a long day at Dreamworld: The trio had just spent a long day riding the roller coasters at Dreamworld, the home of Big Brother
  
  
  
  
  
  Tanned and toned: Cat wore tiny white denim short that showed off her petite tanned legs
  
  Aisha had spent the whole day with the new love birds as they enjoyed a day at Dreamworld, the home of Big Brother, on the Gold Coast.
  
  Not only was she with the pair during the fun day out – she was even sitting next to the magician in the pic he shared on Instagram - leaving Cat sitting in the rear with the view of the backs of their heads.
  
  In the excitable picture, in which they all had their mouths wide open, Cat’s tongue piercing was clearly visible.
  
  Beside the image, Lawson wrote, ‘Come say ‘hi’ and meet myself Aisha and Cat at Dreamworld all weekend starting Friday night with Screamworld.’
  
  One Instagram follower even how the blonde had been put in the back and noted on the post: ‘Hahaha poor Cat.’
  
  
  
  
  
  Relaxed attire: After checking into their private suite, Cat and Lawson walked down to reception in different more relaxed clothing
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Something funny? The loved up couple exchanged laughs as they read over something private on their phones in the foyer of the hotel
  
  Lawson and Cat both appeared on the Today Show on Thursday morning.
  
  Lawson claimed his ex Candice Leeder's family are protecting her from him after he humiliated her on television by going off with Cat.
  
  'I haven't [spoken to her], very understandably she doesn't want to speak to me and her family, who are supporting her, have made it very obvious that they don't want me to try and contact her and don't want me to speak with her and I'm respecting that,' he told hosts Karl Stefanovic and Lisa Wilkinson.
  
  The apprentice electrician says he understands what he did was wrong: 'I've broken the heart of someone who didn't deserve that.
  
  
  
  
  
  Scream World: Taking to Instagram earlier in the day, Lawson wrote 'Come say ‘hi’ and meet myself Aisha and Cat at Dreamworld all weekend starting Friday night with Screamworld.’
  
  
  
  
  
  New Bff's? There was later no sign of Cat as Lawson took a selfie of himself and Aisha

Big Brother competition: Here's your chance to be a part of BB’s next stunt

WANT to enter the Big Brother house?

Now you can. In a news.com.au exclusive, Channel 9 is offering one lucky Big Brother fan the opportunity to set foot inside the house.

But wait for it, it gets better — you’ll be heading in to join this year’s crop of housemates NEXT WEEK.

If this tickles your reality TV tastebuds, click here to enter.

*A few things you should know before you apply. Firstly, you have to be female, sorry dudes. Secondly, you must be between 18 — 50.

The clincher? Big Brother will be sending you into the house not as yourself, but in character as David’s fictional fan on the outside, ‘Chloe’.

Remember when David started receiving fan mail from a woman named Chloe? To this day, he still believes Chloe is a real fan and makes regular reference to her in the house.

So if you’re hanging out to meet Skye, Travis, Ryan and all the gang and you think you can pull the wool over David’s eyes,
apply here.

Damn. I wish I lived closer to the GC. I would love the chance to do it. I'd also run around yelling at Skye, fondling Leo and perhaps questioning any of the housemates if they are CameraShy1. What fun that would be.

 

[marquisite]

@Cass0907 the competition has since closed, but I'd still like to make mention of the fine print:

The fine print:

• Entrants must be female, between 18 - 50
• Must be available to enter the Big Brother house at Dreamworld on Monday, 10th November, 2014
• Chosen entrant will need to sign a standard TV release form allowing Nine to use the vision of her in the house to their discretion.
• Entrant will be flown to the Gold Coast on Saturday 8th November, ready to step into the house on Sunday for the filmed stunt. Overnight accommodation will be provided by Channel 9.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda .

 

[smurfette]

Well, it does say 18 to 50 years old. Just need to find a 50 year old who is doing mature age university.

I finished uni at 50

*puts hand up and jumps up and down excitedly*

 

[Cass0907]

@Cass0907 the competition has since closed, but I'd still like to make mention of the fine print:



Woulda, shoulda, coulda .

Awwww man. Shoulda read the fine print I never do.

Oh well

You have to play nasty to win in the reality TV game warns Kerry Parnell
by: Kerry Parnell Don’t Be Ridiculous
From: The Sunday Telegraph
November 08, 2014 5:00PM

ATTENTION all reality TV hopefuls: Are you certain you want to sell your soul? Be sure to read the small print before you sign that Faustian pact with the producers.

As the reality cycle spins faster and faster, it’s peppering us with TV villains. We’ve barely had time to digest Kelly “I’ve been to 42 countries” Ramsay on MKR when Seven is serving previews of Prue and Trude-esque Melbournians Ash and Camilla.

And while Bachelorette Sam Frost wrings that jilted fiancee red carpet ticket dry with emotional scenes at last weekend’s Derby Day, Big Brother’s Cat Law defends her cheater reputation and The Block’s Karstan Smith has a fame-off fight with sore loser Dee Jolly, I say again — are you sure you want to sign?

Yes, you’ll find fame but at what cost? At the very least the lady in your local newsagent’s will recognise you when you go to buy your Sunday Tele.

That’s the story of 99 per cent of those who enter reality shows, from Big Brother to The Bachelor, My Kitchen Rules, MasterChef, House Rules and The Block.

Who now remembers baddie Thomas Carr from 2012’s MKR, for example, who went back to work as a podiatrist; or Johnnie Cass aka “Johnnie Rotten” from Big Brother 1, who hoped to get his own talk show but ended up as a motivational speaker.

The lucky one per cent, like twins Alisa and Lysandra Fraser from The Block, or Julie Goodwin from MasterChef, get to trade dull careers for their dream one.

I think the canniest winners are those who nab the cash prize then disappear. No hogging red carpets, no posing in your pants in a men’s magazine, no declarations that “I’d like to be a TV presenter”. Wouldn’t we all, buddy.

But what gets me is that despite reality TV relentlessly clogging our screens for the past 13 years, ever since Big Brother debuted in 2001, would-be contestants still haven’t learned the game.

The reason we keep coming back is because we like to watch people behave appallingly. We love to be scandalised by someone cheating, complaining, conniving.

“But that wouldn’t be me,” TV hopeful thinks, “I’m a really nice person. My mum says so.”

It never fails to surprise me that contestants are utterly astonished they could be portrayed as nasty — and promptly accuse producers of editing out the good bits and “taking them out of context”.

The Fraser twins, for example, continue to hurl insults at The Block producers every time they appear on the show — and they’ve been back three times — recently complaining when the Lite ’N Easy ambassadors were shown eating McDonald’s.

“They’ve won $1 million in prizemoney ... and built a fantastic new brand for themselves, going from two cops ... to budding interior designers. I think they have a pretty good understanding
of how it works,” executive producer Justin Sturzaker responded dryly.

MKR’s Ramsay, who was captured being particularly caustic about other contestants’ dishes while demonstrating prodigious self-confidence, said after the show: “You never heard anything positive come out of our mouths. We said a lot of positive things. By taking that out it made us look like super-negative people.”

But the thing is, none of us are as nice as we like to think we are. No matter if you say 90 pleasant things a day, if you give producers 10 snide sound bites they’ll use them.

Imagine if someone filmed you all day. What do you really think your nice/nasty ratio would be?
I reckon you’d be surprised.

Don’t want to come across as horrible? Well, don’t say anything horrible! And saying something’s taken out of context because you said “I really like Samantha but her pie tastes like poo”, and they only use the poo part, is no defence.

My advice is to aim to be the greatest arch villain of all time. If you relentlessly say positive things, Ned Flanders style, you’ll be edited out as fast as those dateless Bachelorettes stuck on the sofa for weeks.

Big Brother’s Tully Smyth got it, saying she knew what she was doing when she went on the show.

As for Ramsay’s editing complaint: “She said every single word that was aired — she just probably wishes they hadn’t picked and ignored the parts they did.” Quite.

I’d love to see a MKR despot edition.

I can see the menu now: cheese and sour grape canapés, revenge is sweet pork with a side of chip on shoulder, followed by death by chocolate cake and bitter lemon.

Nasty but very, very nice.

Big Brother favourite Skye is ‘faking’ her ditzy blonde persona in a bid to win, other housemates say

WHEN is a ditzy blonde not really a ditzy blonde? When she’s part of a cutthroat competition to win Big Brother and walk away with a few hundred grand.
That’s the claim of a line of former housemates who say bubbly Gold Coast coffee shop girl Skye is faking it, all to be the last woman standing.

On the move! Big Brother star Lawson Reeves plans to relocate to Melbourne with his reality TV girlfriend Cat Law after very public affair inside the compound

  Big Brother is known for creating a stir, and this year the attention is firmly set on evicted contestants, Lawson Reeves and Cat Law, who indulged in a very public affair while in the televised house.
  
  Now Lawson, 23, has shared his plans to move to Melbourne and live with his new 31-year-old girlfriend in this week's issue of OK! magazine.
  
  The move comes after the intense scrutiny the couple have faced upon leaving the channel Ten TV show, which broadcast Lawson cheating on his girlfriend of five years, Candice Leeder.

    With Lawson living in Perth, and Cat located in Melbourne, the move is a big one for the lovebirds.
    
    
    'We live in separate states and that's a big challenge, but I'm looking at moving to Melbourne and giving it a crack,' Lawson told the weekly magazine.
    
    The electrical apprentice will be taking the plunge in the new year once the 'novelty' of their coupling, as he terms it, has disappeared from public interest.

    Insisting they are taking things slowly out of respect for Candice, Lawson told Daily Mail Australia last week that she didn't want to speak to him.
    
    'That's completely understandable, she may never want to speak to me.
    
    'When she does or when she feels like she does, I'm ready to have that conversation with her,' he added.

She needs to learn to be humble!' Big Brother's Aisha outs best friend Skye for being too cocky and thinks her relationship with Leo will never last

  They were inseparable in the Big Brother house, living in each other's pockets every single day for the past two months, but it seems that Aisha has finally had enough of Skye's bratty behaviour.
  
  Speaking to Daily Mail Australia on Thursday night at NW's 21st birthday bash at The Star in Sydney, she outed the 20-year-old Gold Coast barista for not being humble enough.
  
  'Being young, she does need to learn to be humble or modest but that will come with age and experience,' Aisha said.
  
  
  
  
  
  'She needs to learn to be humble!' Big Brother's Aisha told Daily Mail Australia on Thursday night at NW's 21st birthday bash at The Star in Sydney that BFF Skye is being too cocky
  
  Travis's girl also went onto say that Channel Nine weren't showing Skye's best bits at the moment but did admit that it was somewhat of a true representation of everyone's favourite ditzy blonde.
  
  Fellow evicted housemate Jake took a similar view to Aisha about Skye when he also stopped to chat to Daily Mail Australia at the NW party.
  
  
  
  The funny man, who lives in Bondi with last year's Big Brother winner Tim Dormer, said she's putting on an act.
  
  'I think she's intelligent. She can be manipulative.'
  
  While other ex-housemate Katie revealed that Skye 'knows what she is doing'.

  Aisha didn't hold back when it came to Skye's on-again, off-again beau, Leo, either.
  
  'Leo's trying to get the sympathy vote left, right and centre and I can see it in his face every time he talks to Sonia [Kruger] on the screen.
  
  'He's really playing that role of sympathy boyfriend,' she said.
  
  When asked if Leo and Skye will last the distance, the model told DMA: 'I don't think so... Nah, not at all.'
  
  Meanwhile, she's a total smitten kitten with her man, the loud-mouthed Travis, and is looking forward to building a future together with him, but she never in her wildest dreams thought she would fall head-over-heels for someone in the house.
  
  
  
  
  
  Loved up! Fellow evicted housemate Jake took a similar view to Aisha about Skye when he also stopped to chat to Daily Mail Australia at the NW party. Snapped here with his rumoured girlfriend Lisa
  
  'I got the biggest shock out of everyone about this that I was going to find someone, especially like him, in that house.'
  
  The pair are planning on moving in together when he gets out of the locked up pad but they have yet to pick a city.
  
  'We had the discussion before I left that either of us will do what it takes to make it work whether that's me moving to Melbourne or him to Sydney, I think we're going to have to have that discussion when he gets out.'

  'They way I see it, I do love Sydney, it's the coolest city and I've such a good group of friends here.
  
  'But I already live away from my family but I don't know if I could pull Travis away from his family.

  The problem is, Travis, aka the mother's boy, still lives at home and Aisha said there's no chance she will move in there
  
  'I met his mum the other day and she is beautiful but I think if we have to make that big move we would definitely have to move out and he knows that as well.
  
  'And she knows it as well. She was like, "You guys can rent somewhere."'

  Big Brother caused a ruckus on Thursday's night episode when he allowed the housemates' family members and friends nominate on their behalf - and they didn't hold back.
  
  The shock move had everyone's hearts in their mouths as they sat in the lounge and watched their loved ones fight their battles for them.
  
  One of the biggest bombshells came from Travis's mother Cheryl when she outed Ryan and Leo, who haven't always been so kind behind her baby boy's back.

  Say what? Big Brother caused a ruckus on Thursday's night episode when he allowed the housemates' loved ones nominate on their behalf. Travis's mother outed Ryan for nominating her boy multiple times
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Up for the chop! David, Priya, Ryan, Leo and Skye are all up for nomination next week
  
  First she took aim at house favourite and cheeky chappy, Ryan.
  
  'He's been nominating Travis for most of the weeks which I think Travis might be unaware of… I think he needed to know that,' she said in the diary room.
  
  
  Share
  Then it was Leo's turn, who she said was 'a dark horse' and accused him of romancing Skye for votes.
  
  'He's favouring some housemates for his popularity... He's favouring Skye to increase his popularity,' she said to everyone's shock.
  
  'Chezza's come in here and just dropped the bombs,' Travis yelled from the couch.

  Travis' mum drops two bombshells with her nominations
  
  
  
  
  Clearly missing her son, she couldn't resist telling him that she had lunch with his girlfriend Aisha that day and that she was a 'ripper chick'.
  
  Priya's husband didn't hold back either when it came to his wife's arch nemesis and fellow strategist, David.
  
  'I would like to nominate David because he grinds my gears all the time,' Bhushan said.
  
  He also gave Ryan two points because he said: 'He's an easy rider… I don't recall him for the first 30 days at all.'
  
  Ryan's younger sister Abbey also stuck the knife in when she got the chance in the diary room chair and it was Priya and Lina who were at the receiving end.

  'I feel like Priya is rallying troops to create an alliance against Ryan,' Abbey told Big Brother.
  
  'She is painting a picture of Ryan which isn't true and it's mean,' she added.
  
  She gave Lina the other two points for fuelling the alleged gender divide: 'She's rallying troops against that pack mentality, and that's definitely not Ryan at all.'
  
  'She's a cutie, does she like reality stars?' Travis asked Ryan about the bubbly blonde trying to get a reaction.
  
  
  
  
  
  Why me? Skye wasn't at all impressed with Leo's best friend Johnny put her up

  Strategy Dave also got it in the neck from Johnny: 'I feel that he's a threat to Leo.'
  
  Penny's mother had the house in stitches giving points to Leo for not wearing sunscreen and Travis for not being an environmentalist, while David's father, Melvyn, also had rather questionable reason for one of his nominations.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  All of the LOLs! Penny's mother had the house in stitches giving points to Leo for not wearing sunscreen and Travis for not being an environmentalist
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Oh la la! Michael, Lina’s French boyfriend gave David three points for not being sincere enough
  
  He gave Leo one point for eating too much but he really had his sights set on Priya, who he definitely wants out.
  
  'She was going around telling everybody in the house that David threw Ryan under the bus, and that was really deceitful. She planted that seed into people’s heads… I believe in fairness and that wasn’t fair.'
  
  Skye's sister Kahla, 14, gave David four points, telling Big Brother: 'I feel that if he's annoying me, he's annoying Skye, and I don't like his smart attitude and I don't think Skye would appreciate it either.'
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Strategy! As Head of House, Travis was the last ever housemate to nominate issuing three points to David and two to Ryan because he wants them out to increase his chances of winning
  
  She also tried to put Lina up because: “You can’t be a true housemate if you haven’t had the full experience, and you have to be up for nominations to have the full experience of Big Brother.'
  
  'Fair point,' Lina agreed from the lounge.
  
  Michael, Lina’s French boyfriend gave David three points for not being sincere enough.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  We're in the final! Lina and Penny are safe and will go straight to the final along with Travis
  
  'I believe he is the least genuine housemate in the house, and most people can agree the game has gotten in his head a little bit.'
  
  Ryan was also on his radar and gave him two points for 'strategy purposes'.
  
  As Head of House, Travis was the last ever housemate to nominate issuing three points to David and two to Ryan because he wants them out to increase his chances of winning.

  Big Brother is known for creating a stir, and this year the attention is firmly set on evicted contestants, Lawson Reeves and Cat Law, who indulged in a very public affair while in the televised house.
  
  Now Lawson, 23, has shared his plans to move to Melbourne and live with his new 31-year-old girlfriend in this week's issue of OK! magazine.
  
  The move comes after the intense scrutiny the couple have faced upon leaving the channel Ten TV show, which broadcast Lawson cheating on his girlfriend of five years, Candice Leeder.

    With Lawson living in Perth, and Cat located in Melbourne, the move is a big one for the lovebirds.
    
    
    'We live in separate states and that's a big challenge, but I'm looking at moving to Melbourne and giving it a crack,' Lawson told the weekly magazine.
    
    The electrical apprentice will be taking the plunge in the new year once the 'novelty' of their coupling, as he terms it, has disappeared from public interest.

    'Nothing like puppies in the green room to keep you entertained before the show,' he captioned a photo of himself nuzzling up to some pooches with Cat by his side.
    
    Insisting they are taking things slowly out of respect for Candice, Lawson told Daily Mail Australia last week that she didn't want to speak to him.
    
    'That's completely understandable, she may never want to speak to me.
    
    'When she does or when she feels like she does, I'm ready to have that conversation with her,' he added.

'You'd have to ask them!' Chrissie Swan is in the dark after mysteriously being dumped from Melbourne station MixFM as they prepare to be re-branded under KIISFM

In the past few weeks, Sydney FM radio stations have undergone some major changes for the 2015 lineup.

And now, Melbourne networks are experiencing the same dramatic shake ups after a surprising announcement from Australian Radio Network on Sunday.

Radio veteran Chrissie Swan has been replaced by comedian Matt Tilley on Melbourne breakfast radio station MixFM, while her former co-host Jane Hall stays on.

The 41-year-old has co-hosted the breakfast slot since 2012 with Hall and ARN thanked her for her services in a prepared statement.


'Chrissie has been a valued member of the team at Mix101.1 and ARN, where her bright personality and infectious humour has endeared her to audiences. ARN wishes her every success in the future,' it read.

Taking to her Facebook page, Swan addressed the speculation, hinting that due to the re-branding of the Mix network, her services were no longer required.

'I am sad too and will miss each and every one of you...Business is business and I suppose a new station (kiis) needs a new show' she wrote.

Swan seemed to be in the dark about her departure after addressing her followers on Twitter earlier in the day who questioned the announcement.

After one follower asked why she was leaving, the former Big Brother contestants tweet back was ominous.

'@breephelpsy you'd have to ask them my darling. I've loved my time and had a ball! X'

There currently seems to be no plans to keep Swan on radio as she remains unsure of what her role will be in the new year.

After a follower on social media asked if she would be making a return , she replied '@BlakeyBoy88 not sure Blake! We'll see xxx'.

The news comes a week after that the same Melbourne station announced it would be replacing Tim 'Rosso' Ross on the drive slot for the pairing of comedians Dave Hughes and Kate Langbroek.
