Behind Big Brother
I join Big Brother Uplate at 11.54pm and what do you know? The housemates are all asleep, so Mike is reading out emails from various people. In the bedroom the housemates have some of the dancing dummies on the beds to prevent the heads from being stolen.
Point to note: Mike lets us know the new housemates will “be in charge” during FNL.
Thats all folks!
12:32am: Tim and Michael are talking in the kitchen. Michael is saying that Hotdogs hates him. He explains two instances where Hotdogs has snapped at Michael. Tim reckons that he has come out more in the past few days. Tim reckons he’s definately changed, ‘a bit more mongrel than i thought.’ Outside we go, Dean, Vesna, Dave, Hotdogs and Geneva who are talking. They are saying that because Vesna is a hairdresser, she’ll have to do Dean’s hair well for the eviction on Sunday. Vesna says that she’ll have to cut off Hotdogs dogs tail at the back of his head. They explain to her that it’s a bet, and there is no way it’s coming off until he gets out. Geneva says it’s a weird day to bring in the replacements.Dean says it’s a great day, gives them some excitement during the week. They are speculating whats behind the wall where the bowling alley is. They reckon that the bowling alley is gone and something else will be put in there one of these weeks. Hotdogs reckons it’s a shooting gallery and they get to shoot the new housemates. They think it will be a country and western theme this week. They recall the night where Christie was on the chariot and slammed into the wall. They all laugh as they tell each other what angle they saw it from. Mike tells us that the Australian premiere of “Mr & Mrs Smith” will be inside the Big Brother house next week. Rachael is told by BB not to wear a mic into the sauna. It seems she is by herself. In the bedroom, Michelle, Glenn, Christie and Greg are there. Greg is telling Glenn how many times he’s been put under the knife in hospital. It’s a long list. Glenn says he hasn’t ever been under. Greg says it’s the best feeling Christei agrees, but then says “It’s the best, but I’ve never been under” or something like that. Kate is also on her bed now. She tells them when she’s been under the knife. Rachael is back in the room, lying on the bed not talking to anyone, looking ready for bed.
12:58am: Michael says he’s going to have a spa, so obviously it’s back in action. Hotdogs says he’s going to – cause he hasn’t been in yet – he’s been doing dishes for 2 hours. I think thats a bit of an exageration, but anyway. Rachael says she can’t believe that you can’t sing. Greg explains that they sung 24/7 in the first two weeks, then BB really drilled into them that they can’t, thus they pull each other up on it now. Tim has joined Christie and Greg on their bed, and they all have a cuddle. Greg says that Tim had a shave today cause he knew they were going to have company. Rachael says she doesn’t know how you could sleep in the house.
1:13am: Vesna is in the spa with Michael and Hotdogs. Vesna is looking at Hotdogs face, and says ‘did you pick that pimple.’ Hotdogs launches into a story. Dean is also out there, but he is not in the spa. Taken back to the bedroom, where Christie and Greg are having a play fight. Greg is running his stubble from his chin on Christie’s shoulders, she says she hates it. She says he’ll have to shave on Sunday. Kate says to Dave “wanna fuck?” You go Kate! Kate is massaging his head. Christie reveals she masturbated in the spa one night. Michelle can’t believe it. Greg and Christie are still play fighting, Greg seems to be really into Christie tonight.
1:25am: Rachael has joined them in the spa. Michael tell the newbies that none of the lights ever go off except in the bedroom. Don’t know if Dean was always in the spa, but he is at least in now. They are talking about headaches from the lights, which leads to a discussion about glasses. Dean had them once. Rachael tells them out in the spa that Christie masturbated in there last week. The guys are a bit suprised. They say that 3 boys still haven’t walked the dog either. Vesna says she could tell a story there, but she decides not to. Housemates egg her on and I think she starting telling it, but comm break interrupts.
1:37am: Straight back to the house for the first time in weeks I reckon! Michael has just finished a joke I think, Vesna is laughing her ass off. He says it reminds me about a time he had sex with someone on his’ bosses desk. Hotdogs says that Michael always end a story with him having sex with someone. Vesna has now worried about saying someone’s (outside the house) name, and they have all said not to worry about, they won’t air it. And they don’t, we get a beep. Back to the bedroom, they are talking about icr cream. Tim is snoring so they wake him. Christie says “Tim the house is on fire”. He doesn’t awake, but then Michelle wakes him, and he sits up and goes “What….what happened.” Quite funny to see. He rolls over and starts to go back to sleep. Christie and Greg still in the same bed.
1:51am: Rachael says that before she came in she called a few old flames to just have a bit of sex. She describes one as a bit like Hotdogs, able to carry her round while he did the deed. We’re taken back to the bedroom, where Greg and Glenn are talking about a movie. Christie is up again, and is running through how to make bread in the morning with something extra. She says that Geneva and herself will get up with BB says the hot water is on. Later on, Geneva, Christie and Michelle discuss how Rachael went about it all wrong and attacked Dean straight away. Christie says she would never do that, she says she would have been so nice. It seems that no one likes her. Vesna looks like the one that they like so far. Christie then shows the girls how she sometimes masturbates. The girls say she is very flexible.
2:04am: Back to the bedroom they are talking about buying family messages. Geneva says she is giving Hotdogs $5 to get his. She says she wants hers, but HD’s wants it more. They think thats very nice of her. Talk turns back to Christie getting off in the spa. Greg says they wouldn’t like it if the guys did that. Christie says to go ahead, cause ‘it has a filter’. The girls talk about Rachael again. They reckon Dave could hook up with her. He says he can’t stand her. Out in the spa, Michael is considering asking BB how the Waratahs(sp?) are going in the Super 12. Either Rachael or Vesna go for Essendon in the AFL. Hotdogs wants to know how the eagles are going. Rachael goes for the Raiders in the NRL. So it was Vesna for Essendon you would presume. Rachael is saying that Dean is a pretty boy. Dean says he is not.
2:17am: Christie is putting makeup on Geneva. She says “I’m looking like a wranker at the moment.” Yes, that is wranker. Michelle says she has made Michelle look like a clown. Christie has made her look like an idiot, and she says “we’ve gotta go talk to BB!” A monobrow is on her, a moustache, a mole, really red lipstick. Out at the spa, Rachael reveals that Dean is her only threat in the house. Vesna has left the spa.
Rachael says she is a bisexual to them, but we are taken to the bathroom. Geneva has put her hair straight back so she looks like a guy. She goes back to the bedroom and pulls a flannie on. Christie decides to dress up like a guy too. She puts on Glenns footy shorts and a singlet of his too. At 2:32am, Dreamworld says goodnight.
12:05am: Glenn and Tim say that sometime in the future they’ll sit down and work out a solution for Istael and the Middle East and report it to the diary room. Michelle says that when she gets out she’ll buy a pair of CK jocks for Glenn. In return, she wants a Dryazabone, some flannettes, ripped jeans, some shoes to survive the country lifestyle. Talk starts moving to how bad the farting is in this place. This leads to a good 3 minutes worth of people threatning to fart on others etc. Over we go to Geneva and Tim who are talking about some movie, which I can’t figure out. We cross back to Glenn and Greg’s bed, where Christie lies as well inbetween the two boys. They start reciting rules from “Fight Club” the movie. Christie says that Brad Hitt was ‘so hot’ in that movie. Christie starts playing with Greg’s hair on his chest. Christie says she’ll pluck a bit of them on Saturday. Greg agrees she can do it. Christie shows them both how blowing in their ear gives the person goose bumps. Glenn can’t believe it. It doesn’t work as well on Greg.
12:34am: Christie has just let another one rip, so the guys keep her down while they brew one up, but Glenn can’t get one brewing. Christie says they love having her over on their bed. They both agree, saying it’s good value. Tim comes over and says he might go to bed. Christie says that he’ll go over there and talk to someone else and won’t actually go to bed. Christie then says that Tim looks like Cyclops. Greg and Glenn discuss how many days they’ve been in here, but Greg doesn’t know if they added a sticker today. The ask Dave. Glenn says 25 sounds about right.
12:47am: Christie is still on the boys bed. Hotdogs and Dean are saying something about getting BB to give their idea a go – they say it will cost $10,000 but could make BB heaps of money. Hotdogs says that he could sell ice to eskimo’s, saying it would easily be a success. No idea what they are talking about though, sorry. They start talking about copyrighted songs again. Dean says Happy Birthday is really the most sung song in the world. Michelle says “Oh really!”
1:00am: When we return, lights go out. Christie says it’s her cue to leave the bed and get in her own. Glenn takes to someone about a movie, while we get vision of Christie near her bed talking to Tim about her glasses breaking and her fixing them. She puts them on and does a little dance. Dean yells out, but we’re taken to a comm break.
1:14am: Michelle and Kate are playing with the vibrator and everyone has just figured it out. They get Michelle to go and close the bathroom door, and they see the vibrator thing and everyone has a laugh. They say it does nothing anyway. Talk turns to the fine situation. Hotdogs says that once he’s won the money, Michelle will have to work off her $50,000 worth of fines for him. Dave cuts in that it’ll be about $120,000 by then. Kate decides thats enough about the fines, saying that Hotdogs is free to talk if he hasn’t had a fine, but thats not the case. Michelle asks BB to turn the TV’s off, as they have $175,000 written across them as a reminder of all the money lost. Kate says she has lost the moment and can’t get into the mood now to play with the toy. They both say it’s unfair that the boys can do it and they can’t. Hotdogs says it’s been 28 days since he last ‘walked his dog’. He reckon’s he’ll easily last to 40. Mike informs us that Christie and Tim are talking and devising a plan for a practical joke tomorrow.
1:26am: They seem to be complaining about the tv’s even more now. Hotdogs or Dean says that LG’s primary source of income is from weapon’s making. The tv’s and the $175,000 reminder return and now everyone is a bit peeved. Kate says she won’t be able to sleep. Glenn has been talking to a few people, and now gets back into bed. Greg says “Now stop right there.” He says that Glenn always steals the doona, and that ‘if the relationship is going to work, it has to be half half.” Christie says singing “blinded by the fines”.
1:59am: Housemates have been asleep for a while, but we are taken from the middle of a nomination highlight package to Kate in the living room, revealing her secret task to be to hide one of the dummies heads each day for 3 days. She hides the first one in a pretty crap spot not far from the doors leading outside. With that, she is back to bed. Back in bed Michelle is still complaining about the fines being on the plasma’s. She says shes not going to get any sleep. It looks like Kate has swapped beds, but at 2:05am, Dreamworld says goodnight.
12:21am: Housemates have been asleep to this point. Christie was rubbing cream on herself, and now Michael has come over. They have come out to the living room. Michael says that the nomination is affecting him. Christie says she didn’t think it would, but it’s really hit her. Michael says that you have to remember that the people in here aren’t anyone’s friends. He says it’s a ‘big popularity contest. Year 10 all over again.’ Michael says it’s sucks that he’s been nominated twice in a row. Christie says she is pleased Geneva isn’t up again. Michael says he thinks he’ll be up for eviction every week for now on in. Christie doesn’t think that everyone really hates people in here. Michael says he reckons they do – he says he doesn’t like half the people in here. Christie says she heard him speaking loudly in the kitchen before. He says he hates people not keeping an area clean. He says he would never leave a mess in a place which isn’t actually his.
12:36am: Michael says he doesn’t want to leave. Christie says that no one wants to. Michael says he wants the million, he wants a job when he gets out of here in the industry. He says that he loves Friday nights. He says he would never have gone to a polictial rally and never met Tim. He says the shit part of it all is that your thinking so much about evictions that you can’t sleep. Christie says that after this, she has no idea where she is going to live. She doesn’t want to share a place with friends. She lives with her ex-boyfriends parents at the moment I think?
12:51am: Christie is talking about how she ended up staying at her ex boyfriends mum, but there are a lot of beeps in the middle making it hard to understand. She says she doesn’t get on with her uncle, so she doesn’t really see her cousins very often, which she misses. She says she didn’t tell them that she got on BB, so she expects them to be a little shocked. Michael says he told a friend but he would never tell anyone else. He says that someone at his work worked out that he was coming onto the show or something, but Mike cuts us to a break before we hear more.
1:00am: Tim & Glenn have risen as well, but Michael and Christie are still talking amongst themselves. Christie is talking about a friend of hers, or a family member, is an alcoholic. She says that once he’s drunk he’s no longer a nice person. Tim says that he could sleep if he had a book to Glenn. Glenn says he can’t remember the last time he read a book. Tim thought he would be a book person. Glenn jokes that he reads a picture magazine a few nights a week at home. They talk about “Picture” and “People” magazines for a while, but Glenn doesn’t think People is that good.
1:12am: Tim & Glenn are still talking about magazines. Tim says he is looking forward to not going back to a job when he leaves BB – he says he has some money saved and is looking forward to simply relaxing. Talk turns to winning money from scratchies and tatts tickets. Tim has never done so, but knows numerous people who have. Glenn won a Lobster once, he got it home to find that it was rotten.
1:37am: Michael is saying that he is over going out everynight etc. Tim says he gave it up a couple of years ago – but he still loves clubbing. He says he simply couldn’t do it when he’s working hard from 9-5 during the day each day. They start talking about KFC. Christie complains about the food in the house again, saying she has never apprectiated normal food as much as being in here. Michael says he invites people over ‘for sex and a movie. I’m not cooking though.’ Michael recalls a girl who used to be his Tuesday night girl. They used to have Thai and do it all night. He says he loved the routine. He says that she would be watching him now. He says that the girl asked Michael to marry her so she could stay in Australia. Obviously he didn’t. Michael says he got expelled for fighting, he bashed a few people. Christie comes back out from the bedroom complaining how she stubbed her toe or something. Christie says she is off to bed, all say goodnight. Tim talks about carpet burn. Tim says that he stayed in a room once which was too small. After he moved out of the room, no one moved into it cause the room was so bad. At 1:55am, Dreamworld says goodnight.
11.57pm – I join Up late with Christie and Gianna on the couch in the living room. Gianna is fanning a fart away from her with a pillow. The girls think the bamboo pots and plants in the house look good. Christie says it’s so funny they put a pole in the house – it’s been great fun. We get some nice pans of the living room. Gianna says on the first night she thought “wow a pole, fun”. Christie asks if Gianna will wear her nurses outfit – she will – they look foward to a friday party. They also wonder what the theme will be for FNL. They joke it would be funny if a theme was doctors and nurses for the party – or Playboy mansion or Austin Powers. The girls are faily silent and look quite tired. Gianna can’t believe she’s the only one in the house from South Australia. There are 4 Sydney people in the house. Gianna says “its not like there are people from each state”. Christie says it’s funny the other housemates talking about nightclubs they have been to.
Mike Goldman jumps in and shows us a cut to the bedroom: Michael is spooning with Geneva. After the ad break Mike Goldman makes a joke about how much the camera men make, and a guy in the background yells out “yeah right!” Haha.
12.06am – Glenn has joined Christie and Gianna on the couch now. Christie is talking about his Dad having a vision while driving a motorcycle, which resulted in a bad accident with an oncoming car. Chrsitie mentions her Dad’s friend was killed before Mike Goldman cuts in with old nominations footage.
12.11am – Gianna is talking about other housemates gossiping about Glenn and Michelle. Gianna says Michelle was talking about various people liking Glenn. The terminology gets very mixed up – quite hard to follow. Basically Michelle said she was jealous because Glenn likes Kate. Gianna: “Michelle likes it that the boys like her, but she doesn’t want anything, she just wants to flirt with them all”. Christie reminds Glenn that Kate likes him – Gianna agrees. They think it will come out tomorrow night if she gets drunk. Kate made headlines yesterday when she showered without a top. Gianna says she’s the only one now who hasn’t showered topless. Christie wonders why Gianna doesn’t just get her tits out – “I reckon you’d have great tits”. Gianna says she doesn’t feel comfortable enough with everyone yet. Christie felt comfortable from day one. Glenn says he’d rather it “were the other way round” – if Michelle like him. Glenn says he will wait and see what happens tomorrow. Christie wonders if Dave likes Michelle.
12.21am – Christie is sick of farting, it’s really taking a lot out of her. Gianna laughs and says “literally”. Gianna is glad we don’t have “smell TV”. They wonder if TV had the power of smell. Glenn says they could share the smell around. Christie reckons Smell TV will be invented soon. Gianna imagines if you were watching porn: “oh smells like porn”… because people sometimes say “smells like sex”. Glenn says its very musky. Christie hates the smell of sex. She says on schoolies she was in a cabin with 4 people and they were like “whats that smell”. Glenn says her schoolies sounds fun – on a cruise. Christie says it was the best cruise she ever had – 2000 people all aged 18 years, all drunk all the time with one thing on their mind. Christie says she was still 17. It cost $1100. The food was amazing and the cruise went for 11 days ($100 a day). She says breakfast and lunch were buffet. There was a tropicana deck with all pizza. There was a 24/7 pizzeria and room service. Gianna never had a schoolies. Christie says sometimes girls on the cruise would get jealous of each other. She was sick for 3 months after the cruise. Gianna has never been on a cruise. Glenn says he’s going on the schoolies cruise with all the young chickees – the girls say he could get away with it being 21. Except after this everyone will know who he is – but that means more chicks. The girls says after this he will get heaps of chicks. He says he doesn’t want heaps he just wants one good one. Gianna says thats what she wants in a guy. Christie just wants to have fun.
Gianna wonders what the range of the microphones are. Apparently the mics cost a couple of grand. She says her mic was being tossed around during FNL. Gianna is looking at the different parts of the mic – one part is made in Germany and one part is made in the US.
12.37am – Christie says she would be lost without her tits(?), and wonders if Glenn would be lost without his balls. He says you don’t get that much enjoyment from your balls, more like your penis. Christie farts right near Glenn. Christie says it doesn’t smell but Glenn takes his chances and holds his nose. Gianna, who is several metres away starts to smell it and fan it with her pillow. Christie giggles. They blame the farts on Yakult drinks. Glenn wonders what BB is trying to do with the Yakult – stink up the house? Gianna says she has them normally because they are a very healthy thing to have. She says at the moment their diets aren’t too good so every thing helps. Gianna loves drinking yogurt. Christie loves drinking alcohol. The all love yogurt and drinking it. Gianna says she always gets a shock in the shower when some one peers in.
12.38am – Christie is talking about her friend doing crazy things, like running naked down the kingsway. Gianna has decided to go to bed now, she says she doesn’t know if she has to get up to do the animals anymore. Glenn doubts it. She hopes to see the animals again before she leaves. She would prefer to think she’s going and be releaved she’s staying later. Christie giggles saying “the future is bright”. Michael is up rummaging in the fridge. Chrsitie says “would you like a beer?”. Michael says he can’t sleep and its caving his fucking head in just lying there. Christie asks if anyone is snoring. Gianna grabs a drink and an orange. (Is it me or is Michael looking a lot more buff now?). Michael joins Christie and Glenn on the couch. Michael talks about how he’d tease his mum about everything. Michael says his mum said their relationship would never be repaired if Michael mentioned she farts. “Sorry mum but you’re a stinker”. Gianna collects her pillows and moves into the bedroom. Michael is cutting an orange and says it’s really bright out in the lounge room. Gianna says tonight they will probably do maintenance tonight – changing bulbs etc. Michael says they might be doing a completely new house. Michael wonders what would happen if the crew came in and said “haha this is a fake house, no one has been watching you”. Christie says it would mentally scar her – Michael would just laugh but he’d need a beer.
12.52am – Christie has been giving Glenn a line from a movie for him to guess “I told you.. I don’t know.. Oh jesus Wayne”. He can’t get it, and asks for another clue. The movie is Strictly Ballroom.
1.01am – Michael is in the bathroom watching his mouth out, and snorting out a lot of phlem (ew!). Christie is trying to find her bed and walks into it, almost falling over. She pulls the sheets and Gianna says “goodnight sweetie”. Michael returns to the bed not long after.
It doesn’t look like anything else is going to happen, apart from daily updates, so I say an early goodnight to Dreamworld.
12:54am: In the bedroom, lights are out. Everyone in there is trying to get some sleep. There are people outside at the gym, so we swap to them. Geneva, Michael and Christie. Michael & Geneva are next in the conveyor belt task, and the horn has now sounded. Everyone comes out to watch on, and the boys start playing music and drums with furniture in the garden. They have to deal with first plates, then eggs, plants and whole egg cartons. Geneva was a little slow, but overall, they didn’t miss too much. They now have to clear it all back in the storeroom and put fresh empty crates out really for the next group, which is Michelle and Dave. We cut back to the bedroom, where most are trying to get back to sleep. Glenn and Greg are laughing about something, everyone else is quiet, although Christie is walking around the room for some reason. We cut back outside, and Geneva says there was a moment when she was laughing too much to pick up anymore plates. Michael says that he can now finally go and have a spa. Christie again, like last night, is the only person to hang around after the challenge and talk to them while they clean up etc. She offers to get them both a drink. Michael realises that they have used one of the crates set aside for the next group, so he goes about emptying stuff out of one so they have 6 crates for the next group. They get the gong to end their shift, but straight away it goes again. Housemates are confused, and Dave & Michelle start getting dressed, but they don’t think their shift is on. It’s confirmed though just a moment later, when the belt starts up again. Everyone comes back out and cheers them up, but we’re taken to a comm break at the start.
1:24am: It seems that BB has basically made them wait for the commercial break before bombarding them with stock along the belt. Plates and then paint come out, and an odd watermelon. They seem to be missing a heck of a lot. It ends and it seems Hotdogs and someone else is up next. Some head back inside, and Dave & Michelle start thinking about cleaning up. In the bedroom Dean isn’t tired at all, and wants to get up. He starts throwing pillows everywhere. They wonder if it’ll be a constant stream of shifts all night. Out in the kitchen, Hotdogs and Gianna are waiting their start of the shift. Gianna says they should get a hot shower after their shift. Hotdogs reckons that everyone will be up tonight.
1:36am: Michael is talking about Gianna, and says that he knows she’s smarter than she acts. Geneva agrees. Christie is there as well, and they are in the gym. The horn goes – it’s only one this time. Christie says that she doesn’t act – and Michael says that she is just a ditz. They are saying it in a nice way though. They say they are all looking forward to Friday. Christie says that she looks forward to Mondays as well. Geneva says that you start thinking about eviction after Friday night. Dave joins them and they discuss when they think the task will end. A few different suggestions are raised, but they agree it has to finish on Friday regardless. They decide to head in to get ready to have a spa.
1:50am: Michelle is playing with a vibrator, but Kate reckons she is just torturing herself. She decides to go over to sheerer to ‘finish her off.’ Meanwhile, Christie comes over and farts on Greg’s bed, and then Glenn does likewise back on Christie’s bed. A lot of running, pillow throwing and laughing for the next couple of minutes as people swap beds etc.
2:06am: Outside, Gianna is wondering if they can stack the crates a different way. Michael says it’s best to leave it as it is. They decide to stay around the ‘clock on’ machine. Back in the bedroom, fights are still going on. Christie, Michelle and Geneva are trying to tickle Greg and Glenn. Glenn is really laughing very loudly. They let him go, and he says “I was raped.” Everyone decides to try and get some sleep now.
2:15am: Gianna is suggesting that they use the emergency stop button in the task. Hotdogs thinks it’s a valid point seeing no one has used it yet, however, he says it’s not worth the hard time that she would get from the other housemates over ‘wimping’ out and pressing the button. They say that the task will end tomorrow, and they haven’t even used it yet, and they are allowed to use it three times. Dave & Michael come in from the spa. They go straight through to the bedroom, Hotdogs telling Dave not to steal his pillow. They start talking about FNL. Hotdogs REALLY wants to get into that reward room.
2:30am: Hotdogs looks bored out of his brain talking to Gianna. They realise that come Sunday there will only be 10 housemates left – actually 11, but as the LOgan’s are one, it’s 10. They sit there in silence for a good minute. They wonder how the Chariots ‘power’ up. Hotdogs doesn’t know. Hotdogs says he wonders what they all get when they get evicted. He says that it sucks because no matter where you come, unless you win, you all get the same. He explains why he likes being called Hotdogs. He likes to be different, he wants to standout. He doesn’t care if people think he’s stupid.
2:45am: Hotdogs is talking about a girl he knows who won “Miss Legs Australia” the last two years or something.
Gianna talks about a guy that she is interested in – he pushes himself so much and that is someone that she wants. She wants to have kids by 35 latest, Hotdogs want to have kids within 3 years. He wants to be able to pick his kids up from school and go to all the sporting events etc. He says his dad was great like that.
