One of my pet hates with these types of shows (ie/ Survivor, Big Brother) is when they do soppy, teary, (Fake & Overacting to the MAX - tearful reunions)...
Considering that on average, these sopfest, over emotional, sooky-la-la's occur around 2-3 weeks after they started the show...OMG, have these twats never been away from their families for this period of time before? What happens when they go overseas or on a holiday???
Last year I went to Thailand, Laos & Cambodia for 5 weeks... about week 3 I sent an email with some pics & an update.. I didn't jump on SKYPE and howl my eyes out, "Oh Maaaah Gawd, I can't believe I, I, I, I'm seeing my brother again since 3 weeks ago waaaaaaah waaaaaah, I can't cope...."
So tonight --- woo hoo we get to hear & see another Dan waterfall event with his sort of maybe partner AND probably have to sit through another 9 sook fests between HM's &
their loved ones... as the article states { During that time, the housemates spoke to loved ones on the outside – emotional phone calls that air on Sunday’s episode. }
I mean, ffs - I must be a little less melodramatic, but if I was in there and this stuff happened and I called my family.. LIterally I would just ask (no tears or emotional OTT academy award performances... "Does anyone have the virus? No, fabulous . Is everything OK? I'm sure the response would be similar to, "Andrew fell over playing in the driveway and scratched his arm, the council said we didn't pay the rates notice on time so we had to pay an extra $40 oh and the dog ate your favourite pair of thongs!!!! - see you in another 3 weeks LUV buh byeeeeeeee...."
Anyway - we shall see when we tune in for tonights Ch 7's new & FANTABULOUS remake of Channel 10's The Bold & The Batshit Boring starring Dan & his on-again / off-again possible girlfriend
whats-her-name & other favourites such as Thunder Feet Keiren as he stomps about the corridors of BB land & not forgetting Marissa with her permanent dreary sour face look of impending doom --
