They alternated who played each week, as far as I remember?
We've talked privately about this but thought I'd take this opportunity to talk publicly since you've brought this up... I'll never forget some the first times you'd told me about your family's relationship with BB... It's just so sweet, wholesome, and loving, I can't help but smile. That said my heart sank a little knowing that I've made some comments in the past that were pretty insensitive and dismissive towards how you feel about the show etc. and for that I'm sorry. Being annoyed and challenging someone are one thing. Name calling, insulting intelligence, and even worse telling people to harm themselves just because you don't like what they have to say is another. I’m shocked some of you kids from that time weren’t scared for life or worse because of me.
Good on Tim and the host company for standing their ground. I think what's even more shocking is that anyone found/known to be a member here was banned from being a part of the show. I remember someone in 2012 had posted about being booted out of auditions and was called out for being a member here.
Tim had to scramble to find a new host that time (2004), judging by his posts in the WP thread. The existing host had caved to SSE's demands which is why the site suddenly disappeared without warning in the lead up to S4.
That story sounds vaguely familiar - from memory they did it quite brutally too. I remember reading something about someone turning up for their audition, but the got taken into some other room and shown a bunch of printouts from site and was asked if that was them, when they said yes they were asked to leave. Maybe I'm mixing two stories together because I feel like this also happened to someone in 2013 as well.
From memory, the forum member in question had been quite open about the fact they were auditioning, where they were auditioning, etc.
I want a world where mr Mac was on BB. Problem is we probably would never have known it was you
With the personalities that got picked that year (several of whom I met in casting), I would've had an awful time. I immediately clashed heavily with someone who made the finals that year just from a difference of perspective/interests (I also want to say our emotional and general intelligence were at very different levels at that stage too), and there were a couple of others picked who I felt were just waaaay too high energy for me to stand being around for more than a day.I want a world where mr Mac was on BB.

Talking about wanting to audition and revealing secrets are two very different things. IIRC the member wasn’t even given a chance simply because production could trace him to BBBA.
Oh that sucks. Hope you and your friends are all ok.
Did a rapid yesterday and today, both negative. Going for my PCR tomorrow, the public holidays are making it impossible to get tested right now. Just sat in bed isolating watching Big Brother. I'm not really complaining right now.
Haha well I guess you'll get an uninterrupted run for a while then. Hope you feel better soon. Reason I mentioned the throat swab was it's apparently more likely to detect Omicron than a nasal-only test, i.e test negative from nasal then positive from throat. Anyway good luck with the PCR, hope you get the all-clear.
Tim is mates with the Chaser guys. He actually went in with a strategy to kind of transform from a scrawny dork by befriending the alpha types and working out etc. But yeah, that season was absolutely the most bogan/blokey of all. Having two Logans didn't help. Ugh.
