Tim Dormer back in the House

For those who don't like clicking links

BIG BROTHER has sent last year’s outspoken winner Tim Dormer in to the house in a bid to shake things up and cause some conflict.
The extraordinary move marked the first time in the show’s history a former contestant has re-entered the house.

What?! The first time in the shows history?

What about all those times fitzy/Fryzie/Ryan went back in to the house either as part of an fnl final or as ignore the obvious task. Bree joined him on the fnl finals too. Then there were the other housemates like Tim Brunero, Paul, Vesna, Peter timbs, reggie and Nathan entered for the ignore the obvious task in 2012 as well.
 
Could you give me the reference for this magazine thing,please?
I haven't checked what he and others are up to much.
Is he on Today a lot?
I have't seen Ben do his movie thing for a while - bastards 9 if they dropped him, he should have a chat with Margaret P retiree:)
He's doing a weekly column for NW Mag about BB while it's airing. And he is actually on Today quite a bit. Way moreso than I thought he would be and truthfully I'd have thought they'd have dusted him by now. I actually made a comment on here the other night that Ch 9 was promoting his segment with the Irwins during primetime which is pretty big and they even gave him the Kardashian interview when she was in town last week. I think you'd call him a roving reporter - not sure if that's an American term though - but he's not just there to do just one type of segment.

Ben's not doing his movie thing with Mornings anymore or at least he hasn't in a couple of months from memory but apparently he and Tim are working on a show together.
 
the fact that they apparently just rang him days ago to ask what he was doing - reeks of desperation not forethought ...I think some of the louder HMs (Travis in particular) are probably not going to like Tim arriving in the house and he may get more than he bargained for ...
That's when he SAID they rang him! But yes it does seem way too early to have to rely on this sort of thing.
 
@MADONNA Tim (or anyone) entering as "guest" just ruins the current BB series even further. Because rules are being broken. No contact with the outside world.


Can it be a bomb consisting of a trojan horse bomb-looking wireless camera that we can login to?

Yeah I sort of agree, BBAU is disintegrating big time. Still excited though.
And last year they kind of broke that rule with the whole freeze in place challenge - Tahan with her water bottle and visitor? And Tully and Drew and all of that.

I don't know why they bother though, big brother's main point of interest is definitely the HMs' isolation from the outside world. The hunger games effect doesn't really start until the HMs really, well and truly disconnect from the outside world. Sticking Tim in so early... they must be really desperate. Then again Tim is kind of a big part of BB so maybe it'll speed up the disconnect process? Idek.
 
This is the last straw for me. I have nothing against Tim, but this EP who has probably received directives from Nine to improve ratings has destroyed Big Brother Australia. Sending in a housemate who was
a) the winner of last season
b) who has connections to one of the housemates
c)purely sent back in to boost ratings.

It really is just disgusting.

The fact that Endemol has let channel Nine have so much control over the format is ludicrous, I am actually going to be sending them an email with how disappointed I am. I think we should all let our feelings known to them, because they have really f**ked up here.
-Letting Nine have No live feeds
-The fact its online presence has been diminished to a catch-up site
-Social media being run by a guy for Nine who lives in India and uses the auto queue tweet function and the lack of ANY live updates
-The soap opera style editing with diary room narration
-Showing us housemates being hungry for a whole 90 minutes then, Nominations show housemates are nominating each other for reasons/topics/discussions that were NEVER shown.
-The lack of LIVE shows that are actually live
-The EP being given the spotlight like he's the ultimate friend of all of the housemates.

That's just a few points.

Nine I am furious and I will probably be dropping out of watching now. The last two years it happened about 4 weeks out from the finale, and this year you have managed to make me tune out in just under two weeks.

Don't worry, this will surely be the last season..

Call me naive but I don't think he's lying about this. He's mentioned a few times in his thread on here that he'd be up for anything and had told Alex that he'd love to be involved with BB this season but hadn't heard anything back. He doesn't seem to care in that thread about keeping secrets - some that surely Alex would be pissed at him letting out - so I really don't think he'd be lying in there. Of course I could be wrong though but I really do think Alex and 9 have had the delayed reaction about how shit this season is traveling that most of us cottoned onto within the first couple of days.
 
Thank you @Mrsbutterface & @Veronica2005

So is NW the official BB rag, think I will read that at the newsagent/supermarket I can't have that in my house.
I once had a bit of a crap mag addiction - never again.
I buy NO magazines, no, no, no (people give me some of the nicer ones like vogue:))

He was alwayS going to be involved.
 
I think that it's a load of rubbish that they called him not too long ago.

It was obvious that he was going to be involved from the beginning.

I think they are trying to find a way to kill the show off... The producers are already doing a good job at that it seems :)

I'm sure he suspected he would be and I think he said as much or at least that he had hoped to because they cared enough to put him in the ad. But I don't think he's lying when he said he was called yesterday and when he told people in that thread that he hadn't heard from BB despite him letting them know he wanted to be involved. He likes dropping hints and in hindsight it turns out he dropped one last night when he asked for ideas for pranks but I don't believe he knew beforehand.
 
The UK version runs rings in terms of quality than our version.

Even the US version does... Our version this year is nothing short of embarrassing.

The twists are unoriginal - they send in a housemate from a previous year to 'spice things up'..

Shows their housemate search was a failure.

Yeah he was going to be involved from the beginning, you could see it from the promos, but I agree with Butterface in that Tim probably was only notified of his upcoming involvement not too long ago.
I don't think 9 predicted this season would be this bad - they probably thought they'd need Tim eventually to spice things up a bit but sticking him in this early seems like a desperate move on their part, and most likely it wasn't planned. Everything recently reeks of superficiality.

Not to be rude but sending Tim in is not going to make it much better...

The quality of housemates from this year is much different from last year.

Maybe they should just axe it already? Lol

The funny things is that Alex said that Tim raised the bar last year, then he said the he didn't fill the house with a bunch of Tims. :bang:
He bloody should of, because these current HMs are just a bunch of sheep, bar a few.
 
Guess who is about to crash the party?
Christ, I hope you can show those nimcompoopes that are in there how to rock the house. I think we were spoilt last year with yourself, and others how to have fun. Sheesh, the flamingos are more entertaining than this lot to be honest (less Skye) who is the only housemate doing anything remotely interesting to make me watch this series.
