I might be too young to know of the "chaser guys", who exactly where they? I remember watching the 2011 ACA reunion and being really confused when listening to Tim explain the story. Were they majorly relevant in Australian media?

Oh boy - I remember when I was 11-ish, The Chaser were mandatory weekly viewing in my house.

They ended up getting axed around the same time for a "Make a Realistic Wish Foundation" sketch which got a few talking heads really riled up. But their satire made them basically the number one media / political watchdog for a while there in the mid/late 2000s.

It's all on Youtube and very rooted in the current events of the time - but you get the grasp of their cutting humour.

They had a long running feud with Anna Coren (and Maybe Naomi Robson too?) of Today Tonight I remember they would have segments where they would just randomly show up to the Today Tonight Offices.

Then there was that infamous stunt where Chas dressed up in Osama Bin Laden style attire and tried to gatecrash that G7 Leaders summit (Edit: it was the APEC summit I think George W Bush was attending with Johnny Howard at the time) or whatever they had back in 2007.

Oh and I remember he also pashed Rove McManus on Rove Live one time (Rove was all about that 'who would you turn gay for?' question in his quick questions at the end of the interview and it came from that Iirc) LOL.

Omg I remember that, after the pash Rove said something like, "For those of you at home, lick your hand... and smell it... that's what's going on around here" 🤣 as he waved his hand in front of his face lol

My two cents - I felt like that had a lot more to do with re-living that period of her life too much over the last couple weeks with these streams. She divulged she’s not in a great place mentally, and also disclosed some dissatisfaction with the end result. She spoke quite a bit about how David and his family allegedly set up the voting farm for Greg, as we all know (and I suspected this was actually the “spicy gossip” she referred to, because she said David mentioned it at the after party… I could be wrong though).

Not to make any assumptions, but I’d say the Finale especially would be triggering for her - we all re-witnessed the reception Vesna got by the live audiences at not only her eviction but it trumped every other HM at the Finale. Also those that remember the hype for her at the time, it was a big surprise that she left when she did. She was basically robbed of the win in a way, and maybe she couldn’t bring herself to watch it play out again?

Just a hunch.

It would be interesting to know whether she regrets not trying to vote out Greg when she had the chance to instead of Dave? I guess there was no real way that Kate or Tim were ever gonna vote Greg and she didn't like Dave on a personal level a lot of the time it seemed. I think in 2025 the housemates vote out 'Greg' in that spot.
 
Looks like they aren’t going to stream BB06 this weekend. Wonder if it’s going to be paused until after the 25 season?

They’ve all but confirmed they’re definitely running through 2008 til the start of the new season.

They’ve just been starting to promote it later each week on socials for some reason.
 
I'm first time watching this season. Four housemates are left now (won't spoil that). My take so far of the season:

*First 40 days are boring as well. Most of them are sex-crazed and horny. They all just want sex. I really wanted to quit watching, but as Vesna became more open, she kept the boat going!
*Amazing how the intruders went far in this one. I think it's cos the female housemates were weak this year. I can't believe Kate went this far tbh.
* Vesna really spiced up the house. As such, the series becomes fun and you warm up to it after day 55, after bogans start to get evicted and when Vesna dominated.
*While I like Melanie, I don't think it's fair for her to go this far at the 4th place.
Again, this goes back to me saying that the original female housemates this year were pretty bland.

I can only read this comment like it was written by a none native English speaker. I get what you’re saying but my mind is reading like it’s English spoken in the syntax of another language 💀

I'm having a series of brain farts as I'm sick with the flu. Clearly I meant it's the first time I'm watching the season.

The only time I speak English in the syntax of other languages is when I say "close/open the light" (as in "turn off/on the light"). I hear that French Canadians speak like that as well. 😂

I feel your pain. I just got over a bad cold and my overall fatigue has creeped back in. I’m very much looking forward to napping when I’m done work in a couple of hours. I honestly thought it was hilarious and had to do a double take on whose post I was reading 🤣 Also some Quebecois are a different breed.

O/T but when I was still flying I gave my friend and her BF a couple of my passes and we met up in Montreal for a couple of days. Anyways I mentioned I wanted to go out for a night in The Village and thought she knew what that meant. So we ended up deciding to hop around as there are lots of little lounges and restaurants and we had time to kill before we could actually go “out” anywhere. The first or second place we stopped at my friend speaks up and says something about it being weird that she’s the only girl in the place aside from our server to which I said “Kathleen! Did you not realize The Village is the gaybourhood?”. Another gem from the night was her pointing out how much sassier French gay is compared to English gay. She used to work the door at a gay bar so she’s fluent in the English gay 💀
