i have a hard time putting that name with his, he is too sweet. could the camera have altered that section, a glitch? :rolleyes:

Hah, I gave him the benefit of the doubt the first time he used it. This time though he needs to be called on that bullshit.

Fair enough if you do it on your Tinder profile pic, but why a family photo? Why not just use another one without his (apparently) weak arms showing? The fact that a supposed friend like Matt turfed him, as well as his behaviour with another HM's couch makes me think the dude has issues.

Issues that pretend big arms just won't fix.

Sportsbet: Most gambling on TV reality show Big Brother http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/sportsbet-most-gambling-on-tv-reality-show-big-brother/story-fn8yvfst-1227028453266…

THE Block might be winning the fight for reality TV ratings but The X Factor is the show people want to back.
The Block: Glasshousehas attracted only half the money of The X Factorat online betting agency Sportsbet.com.au.

And Reigan Deery, everyone’s hot favourite to win The X Factor — especially, apparently, RedFoo’s — is actually second in the betting, behind reformed problem drinker Dean Ray, whose tortured rock and roll image is a money trap to punters. Sydnee Carter from Ronan Keating’s under 25s group is third behind Reigan.



But the show that trumps them all is Big Brother. Australians pour twice as much money into the outcome of this show as they do any other reality show. Sportsbet.com.au has opened the betting on the gender of this year’s winner ahead of the show’s start on September 8 and there’s some big money to be made if a transgender housemate emerges as the last person standing ($51) but substantially less if it’s a man ($1.50) or a woman ($2.50.)

The X Factor is on track to have a successful year, with over 70 bets already on and the show still with well over two months to go. It’s a consistent favourite with gamblers. In 2012 when Samantha Jade won some 1200 bets were placed. There were fewer bets last year but more money outlaid.

Tradition indicates The Block sees most of its activity when the show’s auction day (in October) approaches, says the agency’s Will Byrne.

He said distant second to Big Brother is The X Factor, then The Voice and Dancing With The Stars.

Heidi Anderson: Hitting 30 doesn’t mean I want a baby

Heidi Anderson, presenter on 92.9 FM’s Breakfast with Heidi, Will & Woody.

I TURNED 30 back in May and for the last three months all people keep asking me is when I’m getting married and when will I have kids.

Why does society think that just because I have hit my thirties, that I want a big white wedding and to settle down with my boyfriend and have babies?

Now, I’m not saying that I never want this — quite the opposite in fact.

Ever since I met my boyfriend, Griffo, I realised I want all this, but do I have to start now I’m 30?

Just to paint the picture for you, our relationship blossomed really quickly.

We’d only been dating for a few months before we moved in together and within 12 months of being together, Griffo bought his first house — which he refers to as our first home.

So I can see why people are constantly asking us when will we get married and have babies.

To be honest with you, when I was 17 I truly thought by the time I was 30 I’d be married, own my first home (with a white picket fence) and have at least two children.

Now I’m sitting here, three months on from my 30th birthday and I don’t think I’m ready for babies! Not just yet anyway.

I can hear the sigh of relief from my man in Lake Argyll. He was worried I’d hit my thirties and the biological clock would be ready to explode.

I’ve mentioned nothing here about marriage, so take that as a big hint … I’m ready for the white wedding all right!

Since moving into our newly purchased home, I’ve been thinking about getting a dog.

A friend of mine once told me that if you’re thinking of “growing up and getting a dog” there is a process you must follow.

He said “Before you go out and buy a dog, purchase a plant. If you don’t kill it, then you’re ready for the dog.”

He reckons its great training for babies; I never told him I’ve already murdered my first plant because I forgot to water it.

I guess what I’m trying to say here is, I’m conflicted.

One part of me is desperate to put on the training wheels and become a furry friend’s mother. But then the other half of me, I don’t think wants to give up my independence.

Once we get a dog, we’ve set the steps in motion to having our own baby. Well, that’s what society breeds into us anyway.

Having a dog is a HUGE responsibility — I understand that. You need to love and nurture this furry friend until the very end.

You must train, walk, feed and play with your new child. Oh, and how can I forget you must clean up after this fur ball too?

I went to a second birthday last week, with lots of kiddies and parents; I think before that, I thought having a dog would be easy. I’m not saying the kids were acting like animals … okay, maybe I am!

Some of these kids were out of control; running, jumping, pushing, attacking each other and eating everything in sight. I was exhausted just watching the parents chase their kids around the backyard.

If this was a taste of parenthood, I’m not sure I’m ready for a dog; let alone a baby.

I take my hat off to parents — in my eyes, you’re all superheroes!

Maybe one day I will be too.
 
Just finished reading the thread where Tim dropped by, and popped in here to see if The Daily Mail had written any 'coverage' of it (Haha. I wouldn't put it past them). Bit disappointed really. :rolleyes:

Any hoo, just wanted to say thanks for all the posts and updates in this thread. It's been nice to see the forums still active over the BB break.

Happy Birthday, Sweetgeek. :)
