Day 20

1:22pm: Dixie is talking to Alice, Dixie saying she can’t believe how things went down last night. She tells Alice about how Brigitte and Rebecca told Bianca that Dixie hated her. She tells Alice of the chat that Dixie had with Bianca last night.

Rebecca comes to the diary room. She says that she is seeing some true colours come out. She hates the jealously between the girls over her picking Brigitte going into the strategy room. Bianca says to Rory that she hates girls because all they do is bitch about each other.

Meanwhile, David and Nathan are talking about David’s past. David was saying he was meant to be in his room the whole time, but his parents let him come out and have dinner with them. He says that after he left, he was speaking to his dad and told him that he had had sex with his girlfriend (at age 20). David says that they would have held a meeting that night and expelled David from the church, saying they could no longer ‘walk with the brother,’ He says that since then they have relaxed the rules a little bit and they still try to get him back into the church whenever he speaks to his parents, which would mean he would have to serve a couple of months solitary confinement before they grilled him to find out everything he had done in the outside world. Nathan says he is dumbfounded that anyone could get that out of a bible.

6:46pm: Nobbi whispers to Brigitte someone that she thinks Rory likes Rebecca. She goes and tells Rebecca and she says she just knew it. She says she isn’t interested in the slightest and trying to keep the distance. She says he’s a nice guy, but not in that way.

7:01pm: Brigitte wants her face wash from her belongings. Big Brother tells her that it was hers, but it’s now Big Brothers. Big Brother says that he think about exchanging a chore for her face wash if she leaves the diary room. Brigitte wonders when this exchange will occur, and Big Brother says “indefinitely.” Brigitte lies back down on the chair. Ages later, she is still in the diary room.

Dixie and Rebecca are talking in the bedroom. Dixie says that she thinks that Brigitte is a bit of a brat. Rebecca says that there is always going to be a bit of conflict in the house. A little later, Bianca and Dixie complain about Rebecca about her back saying she uses her looks to get the guys on her side. Bianca says she isn’t jealous because she isn’t that cute and she can’t sing!

Bianca says that Rebecca’s ambition is to be an underwear model. She says “I thought people would aim higher.”

Day 19

11:54am: Terri, Travis, Nathan and Alice are sitting outside. Travis says that Terri is in the house to show the world that 54 year olds can mingle with young kids. Terri agrees, saying that the world doesn’t need to revolve around the young kids. Nathan disagrees saying that they should invest in the younger generation, and while Terri agrees with this she starts telling a story about a recent visit to hospital, saying that 3 younger people got looked at before her simply because she was older. She goes into specifics about an operation, and says that Alice would know about it. Nathan says that Alice wouldn’t know about it. Terri tells Nathan to stop shutting her down, then puts her sunglasses on and walks away.

A little later on the couch, Terri says that every time she speaks she seems to get ridden down by anyone, not necessarily Nathan. She has a little cry and Nathan says he wasn’t trying to attack her at all. Terri says that David shuts her down all the time too.

12:43pm: David asks Alice if Terri has a grudge against him. Alice says she used David as an example. David says that he’ll clear the air with her tonight, but she shouldn’t be going around telling individual people as David thinks it’s looking like she’s trying to form an alliance.

Later, David talks to Terri and tries to sort it out. Terri says that both David and Nathan try to shut her down. David says that Terri comes across as a negative person. They don’t seem to sort out too much, but they finish their conversation.

David goes to talk to Nathan, Nobbi and Dixie in the bathroom (Nobbi is inside for some reason.) David says that Nathan and himself shut her down, according to Terri. Nathan starts re-telling the original argument outside, but picks a bad time to say it, as Terri walks in to go to the toilet at that exact time.

9:31pm: After Friday night games, Rebecca and Brigitte get to go into the strategy room. Rebecca tells Brigitte that the bottom three at the moment are herself, Bianca, Alice and herself. Rebecca wonders whether to save herself. Brigitte says she want her to save herself. Rebecca says she wants to stay now.

Out on the couch, Ben says that Brigitte really hates her. He says “I might have an annoying personality, but at least I have one!” Brigitte in the strategy room admits that she would only bring Travis and Rebecca into the strategy room because they are her only friends. Rebecca says that Bianca isn’t that interesting. Brigitte says she annoys her, but she doesn’t hate her or anything. Bianca watches on, the only person watching the vision with no sound. Rebecca is a bit sad there is no party setup.

Nathan and Renee are in the diary room getting props and party items for Rebecca’s birthday party. The housemates setup the backyard and get changed into Hawaiian themes. Rebecca and Brigitte are told to leave the room and Rebecca is amazed. She loves everyone! “I love you, Big Brother.”

10:51pm: Rebecca is thanking everyone for the party. Brigitte and Rebecca decide to steal four bears for later. Alice thinks they have hidden wine as well. The guys go and steal them from their hiding spot. A little later the girls find that the beer is gone and t hey wonder where it is. Nobbi tells them that it’s a bit petty to steal beer. Dixie also decides to have a go at the two girls, saying that Brigitte chucked a wobbly with her shoes and the plasma earlier this week.

Bianca comes over and bitches about Dixie with Brigitte and Rebecca. Dixie goes to the bathroom and says to Alice that she can’t put up with Brigitte anymore. Alice says that Rebecca has surprised her tonight. Meanwhile, Rebecca and Brigitte continue bitching about Dixie, but Rebecca comes out to Alice to wonder why she is upset. Alice says that she can’t understand Brigitte, but she loves Rebecca on her own and will continue to talk to her. Alice says that perhaps she thought she would’ve been invited in to the strategy room, but that was not too be; Rebecca says she thought that might have happened.

Nathan and Renee are chatting. Nathan says that he hopes Renee will talk to her once this is all over, because he thinks she will win. Nathan says that he likes her because she is genuine. Bianca tries to find out from Terri if Dixie constantly bitches about her. Terri says that they have had a few little issues.

Later, Nathan plays with a tiny guitar, “Happy Birthday” to Rebecca. She loves it, as Brigitte watches on.

1:17am: All the housemates are in the spa except Bianca. They are playing truth or dare. Alice is dared to kiss the nearest boy, and Ben and Alice give us the first kiss for the season. Dixie takes a truth and tells everyone that she doesn’t like Brigitte. Ben says he seconds that. Travis kisses Dixie, but it’s just a peck. Terri sits on Rory’s knee as a dare, before Brigitte has to grab some cake, starts singing Happy Birthday before putting the cake all over her face and body.

2:12am: Dixie comes to the diary room. She says she likes Brigitte but she annoys the shit out of her. Dixie says she is destined for great things, but she is the most annoying member of the house. Outside in the kitchen, Rebecca wonders if Dixie will apologise in the morning. Brigitte says she won’t accept the apology.

Dixie confronts Bianca about her bad mood with her. Bianca says that the girls have told her that Dixie constantly is mean about her. Dixie says she says a few things that she instantly wishes she could take back, but sometimes it just comes out. She says that she wouldn’t be talking to Bianca if she disliked her. Dixie says it’s going to be on tomorrow.

Day 18

7:23pm: It’s Rebecca’s 23rd birthday, so Big Brother plays crowd music into the house to get them into the mood for the cricket task. He tells housemates that the first over will be bowled in five minutes, and lastly, wishes Rebecca a happy birthday.

Alice is making breakfast for Rebecca. Rebecca realises this and tells Rory that it’s very cute. Bianca tells Travis that she originally planned to get Rebecca breakfast in bed, and she’s a little bit upset that Alice has stolen the limelight. A few of the housemates come with Alice to present her breakfast in bed, and sing Happy Birthday as well.

11:31am: Big Brother calls Corey to the diary room, and tells all other housemates they must go to the living area. Big Brother tells Corey that he has just left the Big Brother house for the last time, but he gives Corey one last chance to add $100,000 to the prize money pool.

Big Brother will ask Nobbi and Corey a series of questions; if they both answer the same they will win $10,000 for each question. They both answer Terri as the most boring housemate, winning $10,000. Corey thinks that Nathan is playing the game, while Nobbi thinks that Nathan is also making another match. They both say that Brigitte is the richest, and then both vote Terri to be evicted next. Corey thinks Nobbi is the funniest, and Nobbi says himself as well, and they both pick Rebecca as the prettiest housemate. The final question is “Who do you think will win Big Brother”, and Corey answers Nobbi, while Nobbi thinks Renee will win. Overall, they have won $60,000 for the prize pool.

Corey says he’s had a great ten days, he hopes to catch up with them all on the outside and at the wrap up party, and he wishes them all the best. With that, he is whisked away. Renee looks distressed as she sits on the couch.

1:36pm: Bianca, Dixie and Alice are in the kitchen. Bianca suggests adding another ingredient. Renee comes to the diary room. She starts crying a little bit, but says she is not crying! She says she doesn’t know why she is upset. She says she liked Corey, but no one else seems to be upset at all. She says if she had gotten to say goodbye she would have been fine. She says not to show Corey this, or anyone in Australia for that matter.

Outside, Nobbi and Brigitte are fielding but decide to lie down on the pitch. A little later, Nobbi gets Terri to fire up at Brigitte and get her motivated. All that comes of it though is Brigitte laughing.

Later, Nathan wonders if Renee has been crying in the diary room. She fills him in a little bit. Nobbi and Dixie start imitating the conversation, saying that they are going to get married a week after they get out and generally making fun of them. Nathan saying he is trying to treat her bad shoulder. Renee soon realises that everyone is watching them, so Nathan tells them to concentrate on the whole in the wall for the cricket ball, then tries to kick the Sherrin football straight into Nobbi, but fails.

7:01pm: Bianca bitches to Travis about the girls. She says that Rebecca doesn’t deserve to get sung too tonight on her birthday. She goes onto say that the group of girls are very bitchy, and they are bitchy to other girls, not necessarily the guys. She says she is talking specifically about Dixie, Rebecca and Alice. She says ‘they have their own bitchy circle’ going on.

Bianca says that she was missing Alice when she was in Bali, but since she has returned she is too in charge of everything and ‘over the top.’

Renee tells Nathan she told two people in her life that she was in love, and they’ve both crushed her heart. Nobbi says he was over with Nathan and Renee before, but he had to leave to give them alone time. David and Nobbi both think their relationship could blossom. Nobbi thinks it’s very cute, although he thinks they are an odd couple. Nobbi says that Renee needs a boyfriend like him, because she has been knocked around by losers before and they all think Nathan would never do that.

Day 17

12:48am: Dixie is walking on the treadmill. She stops and says she is so tired. She was on it for an hour. Nathan is talking to Renee. Nathan says that he thinks Renee cuts herself short sometimes.

Dixie comes to the diary room. She asks Big Brother for a new pair of joggers. She tells Big Brother she wants to exercise more, and hasn’t even had coke. Big Brother tries to steer the conversation onto the makeover session, and Dixie gets upset and leaves the diary room.

Bianca and Renee are talking in the bathroom. Renee says that she would go after Nathan in the outside world but she doesn’t really want to in her. She keeps saying she isn’t good enough for him. She says the boys make her feel like a loser. Dixie jumps into bed and continues to cry.

Outside, Rory says she is a confident person but when it comes to looks and liking people she has no confidence. Nathan says that she is good looking and she shouldn’t be comparing herself to bikini models.

4:44pm: Rory comes out in a g-string as a streaker on the cricket pitch. Dixie and Brigitte are in the diary room. Dixie says that Brigitte used her mascara on Sunday night and they think that it’s gone in with all of Brigitte’s clothes when she lost them all. Big Brother says he won’t be able to give it back. Brigitte says she hates Big Brother, and steals a plant from the house when she walks out of the diary room.

Alice and Rebecca are talking about kissing the guys, if they had too. Rebecca would kiss Ben and Alice says she would go for Rory. Renee is asking Rory if he likes Alice. He says she is a nice person but he’s not attracted to him really. Rory says that he reminds her of his mum.

7:08pm: It’s time for the family dinner. Nobbi is watching in the kombi. David says he has a story to tell, and he says he didn’t want to tell everyone straight away when he didn’t know them. He says he lived in an enclosed, church like environment, which he calls a sect for the first 19 years of life. He says he tried to leave at 17 but someone dobbed them in just before they were going to leave. He finally got out at 19 years of age and had to have his first kiss, his first movie, his first nightclub and so on at that age.

He says he loves his family, he still believes in god and has his religion and doesn’t feel any ill will towards anyone in the sect.

Another question asked is “If you had to go out with someone on a date, who would you choose?” Travis says Renee, Terri says Rory, Alice says David, Renee says that she isn’t in his league but she says she would like to spend time with Nathan. Nathan says he wouldn’t mind taking Renee out, but Renee feels it’s only out of sympathy.

8:54pm: Girls only in the kombi tonight. The girls are talking about Renee and Nathan, but Nathan comes over. They ask if he is a virgin and he says he is. Alice wants to clarify his earlier answer, but Nathan says he would rather talk to Renee in private at a later time.

Renee and Nathan finally get some time, just after Nathan tells Dixie ‘this is so like high school.’ Nathan says he would have liked to have that conversation in private. He wonders why Renee sells herself short all the time. Renee says that she can’t see herself with a guy like him. Renee says she didn’t finish high school; she will never be a brain surgeon and stuff like that. Nathan says she doesn’t need to compare herself to everyone else. She is fine just the way she is.

Day 16

8:52am: Big Brother has woken the housemates. He imitates a cricket commentator revealing that the second day is about to start, and also letting the housemates know that they dropped 51 of the 56 chances given to them.

Big Brother wakes Nobbi via his mobile phone in the kombi van. Nobbi says that the cricket match is pretty boring, but it beats the first week’s task. Nobbi asks Big Brother once again if he can go inside for the family dinner. Big Brother tells Nobbi that it’s now been two weeks he’s been stuck outside.

Dixie is eating breakfast and the only housemate fielding in the cricket match. Numerous balls go past with Dixie looking over her shoulder, before she goes back to eating her breakfast.

Rebecca later tells Dixie that Bianca is making dinner. Rebecca says she has to make lunch. Dixie says that she doesn’t like her anymore. After changing fielders so the guys are watching the pitch, the girls decide to go and clean the house, and Dixie asks for some help. Bianca says she has been cleaning all morning, but she is happy to help some more.

2:26pm: Bianca says that she is feeling unappreciated today, especially by Dixie. She tells Terri what she has done in terms of housework, and Terri agrees that Dixie is a bit of a stirrer. Bianca says she is sick of her.

Brigitte says she’ll have to wear a pillowcase on eviction night. She asks Dixie to come with her to the diary room. Dixie speaks for Brigitte and says that her client is unable to exercise at the moment because she has no joggers. Big Brother says ‘no’. Big Brother suggests that she skip on the grass.

Nobbi says that it’s time for him to go inside. He says he is sick of it. He runs around a bit in order to get rid of his anger, and doesn’t enter the house.

2:37pm: Nobbi and Travis are talking about being gay. They wonder if it’s a lifestyle choice or whether you are born that way. Terri sticks her opinion in. Nobbi says that one of his close mates is gay (or so Nobbi thinks), but he hasn’t said he is. Nathan says that gay guys attempt to pick up Travis because of his voice. They are interrupted by a cricket ball, which they catch.

Meanwhile, over the fence, the four lucky housemates are told they must leave Bali and return to the aircraft. Over dinner, Nobbi tells fellow housemates that he couldn’t speak English when he came to Australia and had to learn from scratch. A little later, Nobbi tells Travis that he isn’t really interested in anyone from the house and he’s basically made his mind up about everyone now. Big Brother tells passengers on the aircraft that they could make their way back to the Gold Coast a lot quicker than they took to get there. Turbulence affects the aircraft and David loses a bit of his beer.

5:51pm: Renee thinks that she couldn’t get a guy like Nathan. Ben tells Travis that he doesn’t think he knows David very well. He tells Travis that Alice and David act as if they are mother and father, and he says they don’t need them because they are both not in the house and they are functioning fine without them. On the place, Alice ranks David as the nicest guy followed by Rory. He has Ben low, as well as Saxon. Ben continues talking down fellow housemates, saying Alice is fake and he doesn’t trust her at all. Big Brother tells the passengers that they will be arriving back on the Gold Coast shortly. Ben wonders because some of the housemates have been gone for a couple of days whether they will be one group, and the people here will become closer. As they are thinking that, the cloud doors open and they return to the house. They don’t tell the housemates they were next door, rather that they were in Bali. Bianca says, “If you we’re in Bali, then someone is next door.”

9:51pm: Big Brother tells them tonight that something special will happen tonight. Terri is called to the cloud door. Terri is met by Carson in the cloud room once she enters. She is very excited. Carson says she looks fabulous, but she could look better. Carson invites her over to look at some clothes. He picks out two dresses that Terri likes. She fills Carson in on a few other housemates and sends her on her way with her clothes.

10:02pm: It’s Brigitte’s turn this time, and she is very excited. Even more so when she realises it’s Carson. Carson says she is very pretty, and then says they must be related. He tells her that he is there to help her feel good about herself again. She fills Carson in on the drama of losing her clothes, but before long they are talking about Rory again. Next they go through some clothes, pick out a couple of dresses and then they are done.

Carson’s next makeover is Ben. Carson thinks he is cute. Straight into business tonight for Ben and they make they’re way quickly to the rack. The first item is hideous, and they both agree. It takes a while for them to agree on an outfit but they finally get there before again Carson brings up Rory.

Corey is the next housemate to talk to Carson. He seems a bit shy but Carson is friendly enough towards him, talking about the famous party. He picks out an outfit for him pretty quickly and is sent on his way back out into the house.

Carson’s next challenge is Renee. She is really pleased to see him and laughs a bit. They talk about Rory a bit then get onto the clothes. Carson thinks that while she is a bit of a tomboy it’s nice to really dress up and surprise people every once and a while. Renee is stoked she’ll have some shoes. She goes with a pant and vest combo and says she might look cute for Nathan, who she has developed a slight crush on. She exits the room and goes to get changed.

It’s time for Rory to enter the room at last. They talk about his dreadlocks a bit and Carson thinks they should be a bit longer. Rory says it’s been like that for five years. Rory says that Brigitte looks quite all right. They get Rory’s outfit organized and then he’s off.

We get a before and after of each housemate and Renee seems to have changed the most. All housemates who haven’t met Carson yet finally get to meet him. Travis hugs him first and he says that David looks great. Terri is the first to be shown to the other housemates, she gets some laughs. Carson explains the outfit. Brigitte is next and the housemates love the outfit. Renee comes next and the housemates can’t believe it. Rebecca looks stunned. Corey is up next and a few cheers for him. Ben is second laugh and they love the work in this housemate. Carson again explains the outfit. Rory of course is last to strut out on the catwalk, and cheers all around as per usual. They take off his jacket, and that completes the makeovers. Finally a group hug and he leaves the compound!

Day 15

1:55pm: Brigitte is in bed next to Dixie. She says she won’t eat anything until she gets her clothes back. Outside, 3 people are fielding in the cricket task. Terri is worried about Brigitte, and she says that sometimes parents do too much for their kids. Travis attempts to catch a cricket ball and fails. Later on, he finally takes a catch and a major celebration follows.

Meanwhile, In “Bali” the 4 lucky housemates are relaxing in the sun. Renee, Alice, David and Rory are the first to travel on Big Brother airlines. They are slightly worried for Brigitte, but they all agree that they love their surprise and wouldn’t give it up for anything.

Brigitte and Dixie come to the diary room. Dixie speaks for Brigitte and explains that she is on a hunger strike until she gets her clothes (or some of them) back. Dixie tells Big Brother that potentially she only has 21 days to live. Dixie and Big Brother go back and forth numerous times with Big Brother telling her that he already gave back some clothes. Brigitte says she can’t simply wear underwear around all the time, and the jacket she has on at the moment is too hot for Queensland conditions. Big Brother thanks them both but Dixie tells Brigitte that Big Brother told her to ‘get stuffed.’

2:36pm: Nobbi, Bianca and Travis are fielding in the cricket task. Bianca is so bored. Bianca says that she won’t be doing much later on today because she has already cooked lunch and dinner. Nobbi and Bianca have an argument over absolutely nothing. Dixie and Brigitte sit down inside to listen to Bianca go beserk at Nobbi. Rebecca comes and listens to the argument as well, saying that Bianca needs to grow up. Bianca says that no one listens to her explanation and they never give her the chance to explain. Nobbi tells Bianca that she pushes her opinion across very roughly. Bianca starts crying and says she never cries.

Brigitte comes to the diary room. She starts cutting a pillowcase and makes it into a top. She dances around the diary room chair and without talking, walks out.

5:17pm: Dixie wants Brigitte to eat but she refuses. She eats a waffle cone though. Travis says that her dress is really nice, and she reveals that it’s only a pillowcase. Inside in the kitchen, Dixie tells Bianca that if she keeps harping on about cooking she doesn’t have to do it. Bianca says she likes cooking, and she blew up a bit today, and she apologises for that.

Corey (and Ben watching) throws flour onto Brigitte who is sleeping. She goes into the bathroom and calls him an idiot. He goes out and tells the others and most laugh but Terri says, “You didn’t.” Brigitte gets even by putting body wash soap all over Corey’s bed.

Brigitte comes to the diary room, crying, and asks to go home. She explains Corey’s practical joke and she doesn’t have shampoo to wash her hair out. She explains that clothes and toiletries while they are material things, she says they are part of her and make her who she is. She lies down on the chair. After a while, Big Brother tells her it’s time to leave the diary room.

Travis tells Bianca and Brigitte that at times in this house you can feel like people are ganging up on each other. Bianca says she had a massive fight today and she says she even dislikes herself in this house.

Corey gets into bed and realises what Brigitte has done. Corey says that he didn’t do it, and then he says that she can check the footage when she gets out.
