Forum round-up
It’s the dreaded 3-day-blackout, so in lieu of any new footage here are a few bits and pieces that have been shared in various threads recently.
The nickname: Strategy Dave
David has kept his comments about the ‘truth’ behind the Strategy Dave nickname PG - saying that it came about following his time in the sanctuary with Tim, and that the HMs called him this when he returned to the house 'sans-beard'. What he didn’t say (but what has been revealed by Benjamin Norris on a Survivor Oz podcast), was that this apparently also involved some of the HMs joking that Tim Dormer ‘injected’ strategy into David while they were alone together (ie, in a non-PG way).
Arguments we didn’t see in the early days
Gemma and David ‘had a screamer’, and Gemma and Lawson had a huge one the day she left. Gemma: “I told him I was attention seeking on purpose and he started digging back to set me off.” They made up and it was actually a ‘fun fight.’
Gemma on the fun stuff with Priya
“On day one Priya and I were pressing on the house walls and doors to see if we could get in anywhere... We asked the other housemates to join us but they didn't want to so when we went outside I suggested to Priya that we hide from the housemates and say we were in a secret room... We went up to the treehouse and hid behind the bean bags and cushions... We were there for about 20 minutes when everyone started screaming our names in the backyard Jake even walked up the stairs to see if we were in the treehouse but he couldn't see us and said we weren't there... The housemates went in to have dinner and we crept down and walked into the kitchen and everyone asked where we had been we lied and said that we were in a secret room and big brother told us we weren't allowed to talk about it... Everyone went mental with questions and after dinner they tore the house apart looking for rooms... It was hilarious but bb told us we had to stop coz the housemates were tying the place... That's my fave Priya moment.”
‘Naked Skye’
According to David in some of his post eviction interviews, Skye has ‘stripped down’ when others were having interesting conversations. In his interview with Luke, David said that he didn’t witness this himself, but that he was told by Penny that it happened when she and Lina were talking. Gemma (when asked about it in her thread) said that she didn’t see this during her time in the house, but that Skye “would sing commercial music over other people's confrontations which would mean they couldn't air them so I could totally see her doing that.”
The dogs
Back when Ned and Kelly first entered, the house was told that two new housemates were coming in and would need a bed. HMs were told that this meant that two of them would need to spend the night in the fishbowl, and Jake offered for him (and Gemma, as his pair) to do it. The dogs entered the house, and Jake and Gemma were let out of the fishbowl 20 minutes later.
Secret Door?
There is no secret door outside the Diary Room - it leads to where the HMs ‘see’ Big Brother while they are in there.
