Finally managed to watch the entire episode from start to finish. I just tuned into the last quarter when I was putting my kiddo to bed and seemed to have caught most of the important action. I didn't care to watch the buildup as it's not like you're reading a book is it. And we all knew kind of how it was going to play out.
You might have been notified of my likes as I read through almost this entire thread and laughed and enjoyed what you all had to say. There's not much more that I can really add that people have already said. But I really did enjoy the community here - the OG's, the new folk, even the haters, me hating on the hates lol, the fan diary, the games, the various facets being discussed in a multitude of threads; freaking amazing, took me back. It created a 24 hour community and I so missed that. Wishing you all a great end of year break and come back soon bra!
I just wanted to have a final vent. We all know it was fucked that production didn't give Emily a time on the stage, and we will never forgive them for that! They'd better bring us an online special eviction interview in the coming weeks ffs.
The Production was chaos. The live shows are out of control. You could almost walk on that stage, pull your dick out, and do a helicopter and it would make it on air. No security to be seen! It's like being run by a bunch of interns and random kids who are considering a degree in marketing. Not very encouraging.
Coco's Mum and some other people in her family - cousins / uncle / father-in-law / second cousins twice removed just thought that they would walk on stage with their kids without a question. Are these people so freaking bogan that they couldn't give Coco some time on the stage with her 3 kids --- it was HER game, how dare they invite themselves like that, we were already running low on time and Mel struggles to reign this shit in? Mel was awkwardly prodding the kids and grinning like a cheshire cat. It would have been enough to let the 3 kids up on stage, but the whole extended family and who knows who else. That just pissed me off lol.
This chaos was lame. They need to get some control there and a consistent format, it should be hosted, not run by an unruly mob. Hopefully they will have a better budget next year and all these faults are being taken very seriously!
