Talk to Timdormer (yes it's really me)

[Big Bruh Bruh]

my pleasure beating ed! never have i been so proud but that moment when i said "i am not threatened by you ed" after his usual attempts of intimidation. there are sooooo many eds in high school, and i wish i had the guts to say that to them back then.

Oh man that line was great.

I actually just remembered my actual question and I'm sure there is a more delicate way to put this but I'm super inarticulate; what was the deal with masturbating in the BB house? Did people just not do it? I don't need details here (in fact it would be preferable if you didn't go into detail) but I'm curious to know if people did it and if it was something the housemates spoke about?

i often wonder if boog had been in there since the beginning would she have won. i don't think so. she was a one trick pony and actually not a very nice person. she said some really hurtful things to me which are just a no go. i hope australia would have come to see that i really try to never attack someone personally but just stir in the name of harmless fun. i think boog had a different idea of humour.

Timmy, Timmy, Timmy. *siiiiiiiiiiiigh*

You see that's where you lost me mate. I honestly didn't see much difference between Boogsies shenanigans and your own, or at least what was shown on the episodes. Me think you felt threatened that Boogsie was taking away the 'class clown' limelight away from you and that you had to compete with her.

Did he ever have you.

Yeah I think this started to really become apparent towards her last days

Haha yes I meant Tully. In my defence, it is very late over here in NZ and I am stupid.

i think drew came off quite unharmed in the whole tully relationship cheating thing...which i don't think is fair. i think drew didn't win because he didn't have the guts to pick a side, instead playing all teams. i called him the chameleon. i knew he was feeding things to ed, tahan and boog. But i made the conscious decision that i respected (and needed) the good things in our relationship as mates too much to call him out on it. in the final week the night of the big blow up with boog and my meltdown, i screamed at the camera "I'm not playing this game anymore! if you want a show big brother you sort them out!" haha i did sit drew down and tell him that he probably would have won the game if he had of had the balls to stand with me and support me when everyone else was against me in there. he cried. and i said we would be mates regardless, but i wasn't going to carry him or boog anymore. i only felt comfortable with jade and tahan that final week...its funny how it all turned out.

The fact that you have to ask indicates you hardly read any of my posts during last year. *shrugs*

Tim actually talked about this on one of his Youtube Q&As. He might need to correct me here, but there was a discussion about it amongst the boys and a bet(?) to see who would crack and who didn't. Apparently Tim, Drew and Ed were the only three who hadn't broken by the end, but from what Tim had heard, Drew/Ed may have had the work done for them

 

[Timdormer]

In a similar vein, if you don't mind answering, what made you and Tully come around and restart your friendship?

regardless of the fact that i hate people who play the victim, and i didn't agree with her cheating on her partner, and i hated that my mate was always having to spend time with his 'girlfriend' over me....the real truth is that tully was the only person in that house that was media savvy like i knew i was. i knew the real game started after the show ended for those of us who wanted to continue working in the media. tully came from the sydney social scene i hated! i did judge her as this, and didn't want anything to do with her post show...which was really awkward considering i was seeing her housemate for a little while! haha! it wasn't until i met some of her friends at splendour recently that i realised i had misjudged her! you can tell a lot about someone by their friends, and tully has a lot of really genuine down to earth friends. tully has a HUGE heart...which i think is why she hurts a lot. but she also loves a lot too. i wish tully all the best.

Yea it was in the first Q&A

Timmy did give the impression in some of his convos with the housemates that he swung both ways, didn't he? lol

I think there is a clear difference when there is one person who would talk about taking someone down a notch behind their back then put them down / take the piss out of them constantly as a 'joke' in front of people to pull the laughs than just having an equal playing field and cheekily teasing people. There is a fine line between both and depending on the person or context that line can be hazy but Boog crossed that line a fair amount imo. I did like her in the beginning but she did seem like an "in extremely small doses" type of person.

Tbh I can't remember that far back.

I jumped off Timmy's wagon when he started sooking about Boog and Drew picking on him, a cynical tactic in my opinion employed to turn the public against his main competition. Prior to that I was a bona fide fanboi.

great question. actually, maybe not. some people can't seem to handle talking about religion so I'm sure i will get a whole lot of "i used to like you" comments after this. ahhaa. can i just say i think its very hypocritical that these days its standard that everyone is expected to be open and accepting of everything BUT religion. why is that?

i love god. i don't think he wrote the bible so i don't follow it as absolute truth. i believe in the laws of science, but i don't believe this undermines the sovereignty and awesomeness that is god. i love what jesus stood for, acceptance, giving, loving the unloveable, caring for the world...but i don't know if he was a real person who died and was resurrected, i dont think that part of the story matters. i don't believe in hell and i don't believe in satan. i think heaven and hell are present realities that we choose to create around us each day. that is why i try to choose life in my world.

Wow, an excellent response Tim! Thanks again for replying to another of my questions and making my day again!

I definitely agree that its hypocritical that people are expected to be open and accepting but for some reason shun religion. I also don't like that people who are religious are seen as weak or uneducated- they're not, they simply have their own beliefs.

Hi Tim, great that you're here. I did ask a question on page 10 and hope you can get back to it:

(http://www.behindbigbrother.com/for...-yes-its-really-me.51278/page-10#post-1890232)

Meanwhile, I have a couple of other questions.

Were you ever called upon to record new TV ads whilst in the house, like the channel 9 idents (ie, "tonight's gonna be great) or jump-in ads?

And, what was the deal with the water-melons? We heard Ben mention something in passing about it during the season, and briefly saw housemates outside with watermelons, but were never shown anything. Was there some funny business with those?

Thanks again, and good luck with future projects!

omg you never heard about the watermelon day?? we went through a stage of taking turns to host a sunday afternoon activity to pass time on the boring weekends in the house. it was totally our idea as housemates and we would ask big brother for any supplies we might need, sometimes he would agree, most of the time he wouldn't. one of the best was the watermelon day when we spent the afternoon doing a whole bunch of watermelon challenges, seed spitting comps, dress your watermelon, fastest eating, and helmet carving. Then one of my favourite memories happened! we all jumped in the pool wearing our watermelon helmets dancing when all of a sudden ben nearly died. we thought he was just awkwardly dancing at first, then we realised he was struggling. his giant watermelon helmet had fallen over his entire face so he was trapped and couldn't see or breath. we struggled for like a minute to try get it off his head laughing. i will never forget his face when we finally got it off, so scared with little bits of watermelon all over his head. hahahahaha.

in terms of ads recorded in the house? no all that jump in stuff was filmed during lockdown.[DOUBLEPOST=1408882087][/DOUBLEPOST]

that wasn't tactical. i would be happy to admit it if it was. i actually was cracking. boog would say some pretty mean stuff.

I think this is the first time a former housemate has actively posted here with our knowledge. I have to say, that there really was no greater outcome for last year's show, even though I was backing Tahan at the time. Reading all the posts you've made so far has convinced me that the right person truly did win - I don't think any australian contestant has played the game as well as you did, Tim, and you did it without being spiteful or nasty, so I still stand by my statement that you were the most deserving winner of Big Brother since Reggie.

My question goes back to a theory I had on you putting yourself up for eviction last year - everyone was convinced that you had saved Mikkayla and put yourself up to ensure that Tully got the boot, but my theory was that you actually wanted to keep Tully safe and your true target that week was Caleb, who you had nominated alongside Tully.

I felt like you wanted Tully to stay in the house because her emotional instability made her easy to manipulate and wind up and you knew you could use this and her status as an unpopular housemate on the outside to sway public opinion in your favour. You yourself had stated that you don't really bother with people you can't manipulate, so I felt like it was a plausible theory. I feel like you knew that saving Mikkayla, who was a rival of Tully's at the time was sure to piss Tully off and establish her firmly as your "rival". To the public, and I guess to Tully herself, it looked like you were doing your best to get Tully out of the house, but to me it looked like you were trying to keep her safe in an indirect way, so as to not confuse the public or put them offside. I feel like of all the housemates, you were most aware of how the vote to save actually worked, and were most aware of how the public would perceive events in the house. Removing Mikkayla from the lineup and making the big story of the week revolve around Tully and yourself that week was a surefire way of ensuring she received enough votes to keep her safe, and ensured that either Ed or Caleb were in the most danger of being evicted (and that week, they indeed were the bottom two). I think that's why for the majority of the series, it was always one of the people who you nominated that ended up getting the boot. You were definitely the smartest of the housemates last year, so I feel like it wasn't beyond you to hatch a plan to get Caleb out of the house - I'm still impressed that you had the foresight to know that getting Ed to hook up with Jade would be the undoing of his "Mr. Perfect" image.

My question is, how much of this was part of a plan to keep Tully safe and get Caleb out of the house, and how much of it was just you shitstirring the volatile Tully because it was so easy and fun?
