Tag: recap

11:05am: Brigitte breaks the glasses she wore yesterday for her individual task. Terri comes to the diary room. She says that things have settled down after the task yesterday, suggesting that everyone has let ‘sleeping dogs lie.’

Outside Alice and Dixie are mending fences as well. Alice says she meant what she said yesterday but she would still like to apologise. Dixie says that she didn’t think Alice had had a go at her.

Brigitte and Travis are practicing the dance with no enthusiasm whatsoever. Rory tries to crack a joke at them, but Brigitte still doesn’t want to talk to him. Travis says he hasn’t got the dance perfect yet and they still need to get it perfect. Travis says that the rest of the group we’re bagging him out last night too because he was standing up for Brigitte, saying that you just have to get on with things and not dwell on them because you become a really negative person.

Rory and Bianca are lying on the bed. Bianca says she is upset and she wants her dad. She has a little cry into her pillow. Rory gets up and walks away.

12:26pm: Dixie gets Nathan to carry some washing, and Dixie sits down at the table. Nathan rings out some washing at the outside sink. Brigitte is applying makeup in the bathroom. Rory wonders where she is, and tells Renee that Brigitte has said she won’t talk to her anymore. Renee says that she has said only what everyone else has.

Inside, Dixie says she has said some things to Brigitte she isn’t proud of, and Brigitte says she was nasty to Dixie as well and they laugh over Brigitte using Dixie’s mascara. Renee comes into the room and talks to Dixie but she thinks Brigitte is asleep so leaves them alone. Dixie tells her to go and get up and say hi to her. Renee says that she isn’t going to apologise, but she is happy to talk to her at any time. Renee tells Alice that in the outside world she would just forget it, but she can’t inside this house. Dixie tells Brigitte that it her chance to show that she is more mature than she makes out in the house by getting up and talking to housemates she says she plans to ignore.

2:13pm: Nathan and Dixie are called to the diary room. Big Brother tells Dixie that no housemate can assist you in Dixie’s laundry duties. Because Nathan helped Dixie out with today’s washing, Dixie must strip the pillowcases of the bed and Nathan must stand alongside and provide vocal support. Nathan keeps saying “You can do it Dicks”, “C’mon Dicks” and Dixie hates it already.

Alice tells Terri in the bathroom that she seems to be fitting in much better. Terri says that no one is really pushing her buttons anymore. Outside as Dixie washes the pillowcases, Nobbi and Nathan sing and dance around her to encourage her.

David, in the kombi with Nobbi and Rory, wonder about Ben and Travis’s friendship. They wonder if it’s some kind of an alliance they are trying to form. They say that Ben is stressed after getting nominated.

The girls sing “Happy Birthday Mr President” in the kitchen and it provides a moment of laughter between Brigitte and Renee.

8:48pm: Dixie is applying makeup to Terri. Dixie says she stuck up for Brigitte last night because she felt sorry for her. She tells Bianca she didn’t want to see anyone crying. Brigitte is also involved in the conversation. Bianca says she was staring at Nobbi earlier today and she was marveling at his muscles. Brigitte says she would rather vomit on herself than get together with Nobbi.

The boys in the backyard marvel at how shiny Nathan’s head is. Rory and Ben say if they had to choose between Renee and Brigitte, Renee would win all the time. They both say they couldn’t date her though.

Rory gives Bianca a massage outside. Dixie wants to be friends on the outside world with Brigitte. She says she expects an invitation to her 21st.

2:00pm: Housemates are again practicing for this week’s dance task. Travis still has no idea how to do the disco dance and Brigitte is getting more and more worked up every time he stuffs it up. Nathan and Renee seem to be in giggles while going through their waltz, while Ben and Bianca also seem to be having trouble. Nobbi tells Rory to do his dance properly.

Brigitte is called to the diary room. Big Brother tells her that he is giving her the chance to win back some of her confiscated items. He lists them off for her and she seems excited. Big Brother tells her that she must wear glasses (rose coloured) all day and have a glowing outlook on life. She goes outside and starts complimenting everyone and everything. She starts to get angry with Travis saying, “Stand in your spot… you look really good there!” and another, “You stuffed up heaps, but I like it better like that.” Travis can’t contain his laughter and excitement at this task that Brigitte has been given.

5:27pm: Brigitte says she is not allowed to tell her fellow housemates what she wins if she passes this task. Rory guesses that she gets her clothes and he makes a point saying “Why should you get your clothes back when Nobbi is still outside?” Nobbi causes her to get in a bad mood, so Brigitte gets up and walks away. Rory and Nobbi decide to try to follow her around to annoy her. Meanwhile, Terri is chatting to Travis about the task; Travis says that it’s a good thing, but Terri says it’s so fake it’s a waste of time. Terri says she can understand why the boys are a little bit upset because it looks like that when she chucks a hissy fit she gets her own way. Renee mentions to Bianca that Rory was telling her the previous evening that he was a bit into her. Bianca says she’s not attracted to him in that way though. Meanwhile, the boys are singing a song in the backyard complaining about the ‘sooky-la-la.’ Brigitte is crying on the couch – Terri tries to comfort her. Terri says it’s pretty hard on everyone being in this house. Terri grabs her a tissue.

7:28pm: Brigitte says she doesn’t care that anyone thinks it’s bad she is getting her stuff because she didn’t ask for them. Brigitte says she didn’t ask for it. Bianca says she did though, even if it was indirectly. She then says, “Do you know what indirectly means?” Bianca says she would never have acted the way Brigitte did if she had lost her clothes. Brigitte keeps defending herself saying she had stopped asking for the clothes back.

At the family dinner, a question comes up that asks, “Do you see any romance in the house?” Rory says that Renee and Nathan are into each other. Ben says that perhaps if something were to happen it would’ve happened by now so he suggests that everyone leave it alone now. Alice says that perhaps Bianca and Rory are into each other a bit.

10:33pm: All housemates are called to the diary room and Brigitte is told to sit on the couch. She watches on the plasma. Big Brother tells the housemates that they must decide what she gets back. Half the housemates decide that she doesn’t deserve anything back. Brigitte watches on and swears at Rory. Big Brother clarifies that she should be rewarded on her job at the task. Dixie tries to stand up for Brigitte but she isn’t getting much support. Nobbi thinks she should get one button from a coat. Dixie says she has no one in the house and so she good some of her comforts to get her through the tough times. Big Brother tells the head of household, Alice, to make a decision. Alice says she shouldn’t get everything and chooses one item.

10:47pm: Housemates come out of the diary room and Brigitte says that ‘that was interesting.’ She tells Rory that he’s an idiot and Rory fires back relentlessly until she walks away. Meanwhile, the boys in the kombi, led by Ben are all saying she didn’t deserve a single thing. Ben says ‘She doesn’t ever deserve a thing. I stand by that to the day I die.’ Rory again says she doesn’t deserve any of it. Brigitte comes to the diary room and says that the house is full of people who dislike her. Bianca says that she won’t let Brigitte use her makeup anymore, saying she uses it everyday. Travis tries to stand up for her, and Rory says that he would let her have it all had she not nagged and moaned forever when she lost it all.

Brigitte says she is absolutely alone in this house and she doesn’t think she can put up with it for much longer. Rory says that for Brigitte’s whole life she has simply asked “Daddy” for everything and received it. She says that the grenade was meant to teach her a lesson, and that grenade should be played out. Dixie says she would rather see someone smiling than crying. Brigitte comes to the bathroom and Dixie gives her a hug.

11:02am: Housemates are practicing with their partners for this weeks dance task. Terri & David, as well as Rory and Nobbi, seem to have the routine perfected. There’s still a bit of trouble for Bianca and Ben, Dixie and Alice and also Brigitte and Travis. Brigitte shows Travis how to do it again, and Travis recommends that they break for the day.

Outside, Travis tells Nobbi that he doesn’t really like telling people that they are a ‘sook’. He says that’s a negative and he tries not to be negative. Over in another group, Ben says “Travis is going to be disappointed in life because he sees the best in people and expects the best from everyone.” Alice and Dave agree, Dave saying he gets his lunch made for him and then suggesting that Travis will never move out of home.

Rory comes over to join the conversation. Meanwhile in the kitchen David and Alice are talking about Terri and her constant negativity. Nobbi is saying that Terri is negative, but Terri suggests that she is simply a realist. Ben says that sometimes in the house it’s usually five against one and that’s why Terri feels the need to defend herself. Back in the kitchen, David tells Nathan that change will never happen with Terri, she will always be a negative person.

2:49pm: Dixie is sleeping on the couch. Terri goes to the bathroom. She tells Ben that she will try not to walk around looking glum. She says she always got told she looked cranky at work when she is perfectly happen. Ben wonders whether it’s something she is trying to change. She says she can’t change it and she just looks like a negative, glum person naturally. She doesn’t mean to do it. Terri says that people need to be negative sometimes when a situation arises to be negative. Ben just keeps saying yes throughout.

Outside, Rory is shaving Nathan’s head. Nobbi, in the kombi, asks Big Brother for a new sleeping bag because the nights are getting colder and colder. He says that life outside is fine during the days but because it’s colder no one wants to stay in the kombi overnight. He says that Terri is pretending to be nice to Nobbi and he would rather her to simply have a go at Nobbi and be herself. Brigitte is now asleep in the house while the others are playing in the backyard.

Travis is talking to Terri in the backyard. Terri says she hates that everyone seems to see Terri as a negative person. She fights back tears as she says it’s tough inside the house because she misses her grandson and her daughter. Terri hopes they aren’t watching her get taken apart every night on the show.

5:46pm: Housemates are bored so they create a game where two people hold exercise balls while their feet are tied together and they simply slam into each other. Rory knocks over Nobbi. Inside, David says that they are all robots and rats who simply get up and do the same thing day after day. Nathan is outside talking to Renee. Nathan says that the boys piss him off sometimes. Renee says she is over it and doesn’t care anymore.

While they are talking, Nobbi talks about the ‘couple’. David says that he gets up close to everyone when he talks to anyone, but he is quick to add that something is going on between the two. Nobbi agrees, saying it’s so cute. Renee gets mad and Nathan says that he gets mad too but he though that Renee was cool with it. She says “it’ll wear off.” Nathan says that he isn’t into messing with people’s feelings. He says that he would rather look like a moron now than hurt her feelings later down the track. Renee says she doesn’t understand him sometimes.

Alice and Terri are talking with Dixie about Nathan and Renee. Alice says that they both like each other, but she says that Nathan is pushing for it. Later on in the living room, Alice reveals she can’t have children. She says she was 17 and hadn’t had a period so her mother made her have every test imaginable. She says the doctor burst into the room and simply said, “It’s what I thought. You can’t have kids.” Alice says that both her mum and herself burst into tears upon hearing the news.

Nathan, Alice and Nobbi are in the kombi. Nobbi says that it’s about time something happened between Renee and Nathan. Nobbi says it’s like a couple flirting each other. Nobbi says the dancing between the two is awkward because there are sparks between the two. Nathan says that it would be nice if it weren’t awkward. Nobbi says that both Alice and he think that Nathan likes Renee as much as she likes him. In the bedroom, Ben suggests that Alice not spend every minute of every day with Nathan. If she took some distance, she wouldn’t get teased as much. Renee says that Nathan is more so the problem. Renee says she can’t like someone after two weeks. Rory says, “Of course you can.” Renee tells the other housemates that Nathan has told her that he isn’t really interested. She says she also hasn’t told him that she herself is interested. Back in the kombi, Nathan says he didn’t want to be in the situation he finds himself in. He says he didn’t want to be weighed down with ‘love issues’ inside the house.

Nathan leaves the kombi and goes to the bedroom. Rory is giving Renee a cuddle and Renee tells him that she ‘can’t do D&M with that dude anymore…he does my head in.” Renee cracks up as Nathan walks into the bedroom, making for an awkward moment. She says she looked like a school kid who had been caught.

9:32am: Housemates are going through their dance moves. They all seem to be struggling to get a grasp of the routines. Brigitte does seem very good at it, but Travis has no idea. David is excited that he gets to slap Terri on the bottom. Nathan and Renee are going through the waltz. Nathan picks her up and lifts her close to the ceiling in the bathroom, and Renee screams a bit.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Terri says to Ben she was astounded she wasn’t evicted last night. She says if she was in the bottom three she knows she’ll be evicted immediately. Ben doesn’t disagree. Nathan says he’s going to treat Renee like a princess all week so she can get in the zone. Nobbi is wondering how to do the routine and not look like an idiot. Bianca give him some ideas. Renee wonders where too look doing the dance, and Nathan tells her they have to look into each others eyes. She doesn’t seem that excited about it. They continue to practice as Nobbi laughs at them, but Big Brother turns the hot water on and Nathan decides to have a shower.

3:26pm: Renee and Nobbi are chatting outside. She tells Nobbi that she told Nathan that they would strictly be friends inside the house. Nobbi says that was a silly thing to say, and then shows Brigitte how Renee acts around Nathan, laughing like a little schoolgirl.

Dixie comes to the diary room to ask for smaller gloves to do the housemates laundry. Big Brother says that the current gloves will have to do for now. She says she is stoked to be given the role of washing all the laundry and thanks Rebecca. Meanwhile, Nobbi sings a song to Brigitte telling her she is so beautiful, with fake breasts.

Later, Nathan and Renee are practicing again. They seem to be laughing more than getting the routine right though. The guys are making fun of Renee and Nathan and Renee tells them to shut up.

5:11pm: Travis, Dixie and Bianca are talking about Brigitte in the bedroom. Travis says that she came into the house to challenge the stereotype of blondes being bimbos. Travis says that she has challenged it in certain ways, but the girls aren’t so sure. Dixie says she can do it, but she needs to give it more of a go. Cut to a shot of Brigitte sitting by herself on the grass.

Later, Dixie is talking to Rory while she does the laundry. Rory says the guys didn’t realise the huge divide between the girls. Dixie says that she never realised how much Rebecca disliked her and would love to see what was said about her in the outside world.

Nathan and Renee are still practicing. Nathan says he doesn’t think he’s met a girl as tough as her. She says she isn’t tough. Renee says she wants to borrow Dixie for a minute to practice because she has to touch Nathan’s face and she says she feels funny doing that. Dixie says she should just plant one on him and say, “Right, got it out of my system now.”

Bianca and Rory are talking about picking up at clubs. Rory says he picks her girl and basically goes over to them. Bianca says she has never picked up at a club. Bianca is unsure whether to look away after initial eye contact or sustain eye contact for a bit, or stare!

7:39pm: Nathan and Renee are talking about previous relationships in the kitchen. Renee says she doesn’t want to know about his previous girlfriends, but Nathan wants to know why. Nathan wonders if Renee hates hearing the word cute about herself. She says she wouldn’t use it to describe herself.

Dixie is giving David a haircut, with about 3 people looking on. Terri tries to give advice but David says she can’t because of her awful fringe. Later, Ben gets a haircut and thinks he is losing a bit of his hairline.

Nathan goes outside and then the guys tell Renee they should just kiss (meaning Nathan and herself). Nathan goes to sleep in the kombi and he hopes the guys don’t gang up on Renee in the bedroom and tease her. Renee doesn’t answer any of the boys questions and simply says goodnight.

Nathan says that Renee gets goose bumps when she talks to him. He doesn’t know if it’s creepy or ‘cute’. Nathan says he likes her, but he doesn’t want to lead her on because he’s not ‘into’ her. Nobbi says that perhaps he has been flirting with her a bit, and says it’s something for him to look out for.

The hosts come onto the stage welcoming us to the second eviction. They go through a detailed recap of the week before revealing that Travis’s mum will join them on the stage to discuss Travis’s sexuality. Maria comes out onto the stage.

She says that Kyle is being a bit disrespectful to herself as a mother and also to the gay community. Kyle doesn’t understand why it would affect the gay community. Maria says that her son is flamboyant. Kyle says he’s never had sex and doesn’t like kissing girls. Maria says that Travis is naive when it comes to sex and topics such as that. Maria says that Travis is not gay and people should just let the boy live his life however he chooses.

Jackie then says that Terri was upset about Kyle’s comment regarding her fringe last week. They cut to a package and then cut to the house to talk to the housemates. Jackie says she loves her Terri’s fringe this week.

They talk to Travis and say he has shingles on his back. They say he is using cream to get rid of it. They cut away, and then cut back to the house almost immediately. Big Brother welcomes them back to the eviction room. He tells them the time has come to reveal the 3 housemates with the lowest number of votes. The three housemates are: Ben, Rory & Travis.

It’s time for the twist to take place so we head back down to the eviction room. Rebecca, the winner of Friday night games, decides to save Travis because they are close and have become very good friends. Kyle tells us that Rebecca will fall down into the bottom three and may be evicted tonight now. Big Brother tells them the news.

It’s time for the voting to begin. Big Brother explains that Rebecca’s votes will be doubled – even nominees nominate. David is called to the diary room. He gives two points to Ben because he hasn’t got to know him saying Ben is too quiet and reserved. He chooses Rebecca for 1 vote because she spends too long in bed and he doesn’t see her around the house all that much. David walks back into the eviction room instead of going to the living room, but eventually gets there.

Brigitte is next to vote, and she gives two points to Ben because he is not very nice to her. For one point she chooses Rory because he can be disrespectful to the girls sometimes. Back with the hosts, who both hope that Ben gets kicked tonight. Terri is voting next and gives two points to Ben because he gets hurt quite easily and doesn’t mix with the boys as well as others. Terri gives one point to Rebecca because she thinks she is fake. Nobbi is up next and gives two points two Rebecca because all she talks about is her boyfriend. For one point he evicts Ben because Rory is his best mate.

It’s time for Bianca who gives Rebecca two points because she doesn’t want to be here as much as the others. She gives one point to Ben because she likes Rory more. Alice is up next and she gives two points to Rebecca and one point for Rory both for tactical reasons.

After these two vote, it’s time for Corey to come back onstage at the auditorium. Lots of cheers, a few boo’s. Corey says he thinks he has changed a few opinions and he’s happy with that. He says he misses them all except Terri. He says that Renee and Nobbi we’re both great and he hopes one of them will win.

Dixie is voting, and gives two points to Rebecca because she would rather not live with her, and gives one point to Ben because he snores all night. Nathan is up next and gives two points to Rebecca because he thinks she isn’t being herself in the house. He gives one point to Ben because he likes Rory better.

Renee is up next and gives two points to Rebecca because she doesn’t mingle with the group as much as everyone else. She gives one point to Ben because she likes Rory better.

Travis still has to vote and gives two points to Rory because he dislikes Rory the most. He gives one point to Ben because he ignores some of his statements. Big Brother has a different setup this week, telling the three nominees to go to the living room. Kyle and Jackie will do the honours this week. Kyle tells Rory he can sit back down because he is safe. We’ll fine out who gets evicted after a break.

Finally we’re back and Jackie has the envelope. “The next housemate evicted for 2008 is Rebecca.” Rebecca says not to be upset and she is fine, quick hugs all around. She says that her boyfriend better be there! She says it was nice to meet them all. Once she is gone, Brigitte says damnit. Obviously the show is pre-recorded because she comes straight onto the eviction stage. She says she is ok and was ready to go. She says she had a great time though. Rebecca says she loves her own space and that was doing her head in. We get to see who the boys and Rebecca voted; both boys giving Rebecca two votes and each other the one, while Rebecca gave herself four points because she says she is ready to leave and gives two points to Ben. The hosts can’t believe it. Rebecca had 22 points, Ben had 15 and Rory got only 5.

Rebecca confirms that she wants to do some modeling for the men’s magazines now she is out. Rebecca says she would be happy never to talk to Bianca ever again. She says she loved Brigitte. Jackie gives Rebecca some prizes, which includes a holiday, a phone and a broadband kit.

The hosts cross back to the house. Brigitte says she isn’t crying but she has watery eyes. Rory says he is glad to still be there, and Terri is stoked to be still there for another week. They cut to all the saving numbers once again, then it’s goodnight!

8:47pm: The eviction has just finished. Brigitte is lying on the couch not saying anything. Terri is glad she can take part in another Friday night games. Travis tells Nobbi that he’s not that upset because she isn’t dead and they will catch up soon. Nobbi says he thinks she was ready to go.

Dixie and Bianca both wonder how Brigitte will be this week ‘by herself.’ Bianca says that she thinks she will crumble. Dixie says she won’t comfort Brigitte. Bianca says there is justice in the world because the hottest chick in the house got voted out in the second week. Brigitte says she hopes she gets evicted next week. The guys tell her that she can hang with the boys anytime she wants. Brigitte says she doesn’t really like any of the girls. Ben dances in the backyard with Travis after surviving a close eviction.

David tries to tell Dixie that Rebecca liked her and she was a bit sad the past few days because she missed her family and her boyfriend. Dixie says she can’t remember why she isn’t talking to Brigitte.

10:32pm: Housemates are called to the living room, except Nobbi. He says he didn’t hear it and comes in, before going back outside. They all sit down as Nobbi gets set in the doorway. Rebecca says she is ok and no one should be upset at her leaving the house. She tells the house that someone else needs to be head of household and she gives this honour to Alice because she needs a break. Rebecca tells the house that they need to be careful when talking to people in the house because they aren’t always the person’s friends and might backstab and tell this information to someone else.

Rebecca says that she loves Brigitte then tells Dixie she liked her at the start, but she found in the end that she was fake because she broke her trust. She says she is very much a like someone one minute, then turn off them very quickly. Rebecca says she admires Terri for being in the house. She says she didn’t like Bianca at all – she simply had to tolerate her. She calls her “a total cow.” She says she loves Alice and will miss the midnight chats. She says Nobbi is funny and he brings a lot of laughs to the house. She tells the house that she has a grenade to throw now – which involves washing people’s clothes indefinitely for everyone. She narrows it down to Dixie and Bianca and then makes Dixie the laundry lady. Brigitte says that that grenade was useless and she would much rather have received that one. Bianca is so shocked at Rebecca’s comments; she says she had no idea. None of the other housemates knew about this either. Bianca says that Rebecca should’ve told her to her face, rather than use the message to say it. She goes to lie down on the bed.

10:48pm: Dixie and Bianca are still discussing the eviction, laughing at themselves acting like the ‘fake’ Rebecca. Bianca is unsure whether Rebecca hated her in the house, or whether she changed her mind after seeing some footage. Bianca says that she acted like an angel to her in the house.

Alice comes to the diary room. Alice gave Rebecca two points for eviction, and she starts crying. She tells Big Brother that Friday night made her think that perhaps Brigitte and Rebecca might be causing the segregation between the girls. Alice says that her time with Rebecca in the house was cut short, but she then explains how she thinks it needed to happen. In the bedroom, Bianca is still trying to figure out if anyone knew Rebecca hated her? She says she wants a boxing bag, but Ben says the proper thing to do is to grab your shoe and hit it into the plasma. Rory says that fake breasts don’t make a girl fake. Terri comes in and says she hopes she gets into Zoo. Ben says he would become the biggest subscriber if Terri were in it. Dixie comes to the diary room saying that she isn’t bitter about the hand grenade, but she says she is still in the house and Rebecca is not, and that the bottom line. Dixie hopes that Rebecca’s lingerie and modeling career goes along great – “no sarcasm intended.”

11:40pm: Brigitte and Travis are talking on the couch. Travis asks Brigitte to try to have a good time in the week ahead. Brigitte says she’ll try to get evicted. Meanwhile, Alice, Terri and Renee are in the kitchen. The girls say that they have tried to interact with Brigitte but if she doesn’t give anything back there is no point. Renee wonders why Terri has a soft spot for Brigitte and says “Because she’s dumb?” Travis asks Brigitte if

Nobbi and Ben wonder how Brigitte isn’t in the bottom four. Nobbi says her dummy spits must be entertaining for the viewers. Ben says that if Brigitte was mature enough to make small talk, but both knew they didn’t really like each other, he would respect that. Nobbi says that Brigitte will be a bit lonely now that her friend has gone. Ben says that Travis will take care of her to a degree.

Brigitte comes to the diary room. She starts crying. She says she wants to get evicted next week and she doesn’t want to stay. She says she was happy because she had made a friend, and now that person has left. Brigitte says that there is nobody in the house now that she will be friends with on the outside. She says that she had another friend in Dixie but she has realised Dixie doesn’t like her. She says she doesn’t want to mend her friendship with Dixie. She leaves the diary room and goes to bed. Dixie watches on.

2:04am: Renee and Nathan are talking on the couch with Bianca. Renee says that she might not like Nathan in a week or two. Nathan says that Renee doesn’t use the L word in the house and uses “like” instead.

Big Brother suggests it’s time for bed. Nathan says “Thanks Dad.” Nathan and Renee finish their conversation alone in the kitchen, with Nathan saying that he wants to make it clear that nothing is really going to happen in the house between the two. He says he would rather become good friends and then maybe start something up afterwards. He says that perhaps sleeping next to each other should be discouraged. Renee doesn’t understand why, but they sort it out and eventually Nathan gives her a ‘hug’ and Renee also offers her affection by slapping his face!

Bianca and Dixie start telling each other all the stuff they have called each other behind their back over the past few weeks. They say they will become good friends over the coming weeks.

8:00am: Big Brother wakes everyone with an alarm. He tells all the housemates to go to the living room, and Nobbi to the glass doors. He tells the housemates to watch the plasma screen.

Adam Williams wonders, “So you think you can dance?” He tells them the details of this week’s task, which includes practicing daily, and then a final performance. He tells the housemates that haven’t danced before that it’s ok. Housemates will be paired up.

8:23am: Nathan and Renee are the first to be paired together much to everyone’s delight. They must dance the waltz. Renee can’t believe it. Ben and Bianca have the tango, Brigitte and Travis have the disco tune, Terri and David have the German slap music and Alice and Dixie have hip-hop music. Rory and Nobbi are then called to the kombi van. Big Brother tells them they are a boy band, with soapy music. They laugh their heads off. Big Brother tells the housemates they are playing for a heap of gourmet food and alcohol.

Big Brother tells the house that they must now practice for one hour. Each group is given a small media player to view the instructional video. Rory tells Nobbi that David isn’t happy being paired with Terri. Brigitte and Travis seem to be getting the hang of it, but Brigitte says, “How can you not get this?” Nathan seems to be having a good time, saying, “You’ll look like a princess.”
