Big Brother 2003 on official YouTube channel (Live streamed Aug 15-17 + 22-24)

"Australian Pie” did see the light of the day. It was released on DVD in the United States under the name “Going Down Under”. The main character was played by Ed Kavalee who was relatively unknown at the time. And other Big Brother alumni: Aphrodite and Trevor from BB04 also appear. I can’t quite remember if other BB housemates make a cameo, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were. The movie is probably on YouTube if you are curious to watch it.

the reviews on there say it all!
 
What happened with the voting? I've never heard of that before?
Right at the start of the finale, they showed the graph of where the voting sat. Then they put faces/names on the percentages.

It caused such a massive influx of votes that things melted, they couldn't keep up and the finale ended up running over an hour longer than planned because they legitimately couldn't work out who the winner was. Poor Gretel was up on the stage treading water for close to an hour, then they eventually pulled both finalists out of the house and ran both versions of the end of the finale they had planned (interview/showing video packages etc). And by the time they finally had the result, they announced it and then the show pretty much ended immediately.

Then it ended up being Gretel's last show and she went out on a massive low. :(

Ah well there you go, I honestly wondered if it was even real! Well perhaps that’s the extent of her career but it does sound like she wanted to get some work, for a bit at least.
 
Reggie being in the chat was cool and no doubt a highlight for many, I did see it go to a weird place with someone asking her about the Port Arthur massacre… Reggie is too pure for the internet.

It should be illegal to make a finale this bad.

I was there that night and lordy it was long, Gretel was fantastic, but after that ordeal and the rubber chicken to the head, definitely not a great send off.
