Day 32 Uplate

11:15pm: Jamie and Katie are in the spa. Dani is at the edge of the spa. Jamie is saying that one of the guys was talking a lot about Dani the other day. I don’t know who they were referring to. Dani says that this is all so funny. Inside we go. Krystal and Gaelan lying on a bed together, Camilla and Rob also sitting up on the next bed. They are all talking about hairstyles. Camilla says here hair was too red in the first week. Camilla realises that Gaelan’s hair was cut a bit today. She apologises for not noticing. Gaelan and Krystal start talking about ice cream. Krystal tries to remember the name of a store near her. She says they have heaps and heaps of lollies and they make it on a cold slate. So you can add bars to your ice cream and they mash it all together on the cold slate…And back outside. Lots of laughter out here at the spa. Jamie is talking about a stupid game the boys played the other day about throwing ducks at other guys in the bathroom. This leads to a discussion about how Ashley is very good at hitting targets, and how he can get ducks or similar items through very small spaces. Dani says she is getting a jacket because she is too cold. Jamie and Katie joke that they might be gone when she returns. She checks on the boys (Dino and John) in the gym before heading inside, and she tells the boys that everyone is tired inside and nothing exciting is happening. She says she’ll be back and John asks her to grab one for him as well. She goes inside. John goes back to their previous conversation saying that he thinks that the nice guys might go when first put up. It seems he’s a bit scared about this weekend. Comm break.

11:30pm: Back in the gym. John says that he hasn’t been doubting himself at all, but the convo he’s just had with Dani has made him feel so much better. Dani tells him not to be worried about it at all (eviction). John says that in this house you have to think about it though. Dani agrees, saying that Tuesday-Thursday is just like hanging with friends and then the business end of the week comes about. Dani says that she would feel bad if John left. John thanks her. John mentions Gastro, and Dani is unsure who’s nickname it is, wondering if it was Dino. Dino says “ME!? I don’t fart that much”. They say they mean Rob. John says that if someone like Jade had just said that to him he wouldn’t have cared at all, but because it was Dani, who is someone he highly respects and wants to go far in the game, he really takes it to heart. Dino and Dani both agree that Jade isn’t entertainment value and she shouldn’t be kept in the house just for entertainment values. Dani thinks that Jade thinks she is loud and intimidating, but Dani doesn’t see that at all, and that she can’t change her opinion of herself because she is too set in her ways. She says she thinks Jade is interesting. Dino says he is freezing. Gaelan has joined them. John says that he thinks Jade is harmless. Dani and John both say that in the real life they wouldn’t hang out with her. Dani says that she probably hasn’t given Jade enough time because she has got bored too easily. John says he thought that about some people, but he gave them another half hour and he realises that he really likes them. Gaelan says he’s given Jade heaps of little 5 minutes sessions. Cut inside where Michael is in bed and Claire is sitting on his bed talking to him. Michael is still bitching about Karen, saying she deliberately tried to put barriers between her. Claire says that she can’t anymore. Michael says it’ll be interesting to see how goes this weekend because it’s back to only 3 nominees. Claire agrees. Into the kitchen. Dani and Dino are in there talking to Camilla and Rob. Rob is giving an annoying cooking lession to them all. Comm break.

11:45pm: Katie and Dani talking on a bed. Dani thought that whoever they are talking about didn’t even like her and give her the time of day. She says she doesn’t want to make the move, she did enough by sleeping in the same bed as him. Katie says she should wake him up some nights ‘accidently’ so they can talk some more. Ashley and Michael are looking in someone drawers. Dino enters the room and they all laugh ridiculously. Dino says thats the dumbest thing he’s ever seen, saying ‘why would you risk being put in the punishment room?’ I can’t quite follow the joke, apologies. Big Brother tells Dino to bring the lollies to the diary room, and to also bring Ashley’s stash with him. Katie then immediately gets a $5000 fine for not wearing her microphone. Someone says she’ll reach $100,000 by the end of this. Gaelan says “You sold Dino out there” to Ashley. They wonder whether Katie will have to do a punishment. John says that the dishes are the worst to do in the punishment room. Ash comes out and apologises to Dino, Dino says it’s all cool. Michael offers to help Dino get out of trouble, and suggests that Dino ask BB if he can have a lawyer present. Michael seems excited by this, and watches as Dino goes in. Cut to Krystal in the bedroom who is tidying up her little area of the bedroom. Most of the housemates are gathered in the living room waiting to see Dino’s fate. They don’t like his chances of getting out of a fine and a stint in the punishment room. Claire explains that she thought that the lolly bags could be eaten after the party as per usual practices in the real world when going to a party. Comm break.

12:01am: Dino is in the punishment room. He is trying to get others in trouble now seeing he;s in there. Claire says that anyone with a stash should come forward. Someone else says why would they come forward when they are only going to get into trouble. They change the subject to gay guys. Michael is convinced that Thorpie must be gay. He says that ‘why else would he have a pearl collection.’ Lots of little conversations going on on top of each other. Dino sticks a page on the wall which says dick. Jamie, Michael and John all laugh. They all say he’ll probably get in trouble for that. His punishment is to make confetti, but he’s punched ‘dick’ into the paper and made a word. Jamie and Michael talk about challanging Big Brother on his verdicts. Michael says he loves doing it. Jamie says he doesn’t do it often because the last time he did after coming out of the punishment room, BB sent him back in there. Comm break.

12:19am: Still quite a few people on the couch. John and Jamie are talking about how Michael seems to have been punished for tivial things the most. They say the first time he was punished, and in effect, the first punishment of the series, was for Michael interrupting Big Brother. They say he was in the punishment room for 4-5hours seperating needles. Claire says that he was having fun though. Michael exits the diary room, saying he tried to get Dino early bail to no avail. Dino and the boys all have a laugh, and Dino ends up farting on the glass. Michael goes to the bathroom. Dani says goodnight to the boys, and John calls out to Dino as he is having a hug with Dani! Rob comes out and says goodnight to them all. Jamie and John talk about how Dino looks like the young Chopper in the movie, when he first was in prison. Michael comes out of the bathroom and is looking very suss as he is going through his suitcase (at least i think it’s his). He looks under the bed from every available angle. Comm break.

12:32am: Michael has grabbed some toothbrushes from the bathroom and popped them in a sock and put then under his bed during the commercial break. Now it seems he’s going back for more. He grabs some more and goes back to the bedroom again. Cut away for an Uplate update, but we go back and Michael is still trying to hide stuff. Michael has now finished playing around. They boys all keep Dino company, and he moons them. BB tells Dino the longer he micks around, the longer he’ll be in the punishment room. Michael says that he sounded as if he was kind of laughing when he said it. John says that the goodbye messages have been so fake so far. Michael agrees. John says you don’t need to go overbored, but you can be honest at least. Michael says that some people just want to end on a good note. Michael says wait for his. He says he wants to make an impact with his. Cut to the bedroom. Camilla is saying she can’t wait to eat real food again. She says that everything here just makes them fart.

12:51am: Bathroom it is, Camilla and Rob are in there. Camilla says she wants her damn toothbrush now. She can’t find it. They joke about mango’s and bowels. Lovely. Camilla can’t find it and informs Krystal, who tells her she can use hers. She explains the colours, and Camilla says that hers might be gone too. Krystal says she better be joking. Rob says that Krystal should have a cuddle with Gaelan. Gaelan says that ‘distance makes the heart grow fonder.’ Back to the bathroom, Camilla looks everywhere. She reports back to Krystal that hers is gone too. John goes to the toilet. Camilla comes out to ask Dino if he stole them. Michael watches on. He is concerned for his toothbrush, saying he was just about to brush them. He goes and investigates. He says he still has his because he never leaves it in the bathroom. Ash says that his is still there. Comm break.

1:07am: Camilla comes out of the diary room. Michael says “For some reason I like woman shoes.” John says that this side of the bedroom is quite cool. Krystal says it’s way better. Gaelan says he hated his bed because of the position at the start, but he loves it now. John and Michael exit that side of the bedroom for a ‘brushoff.’ Camilla says she would like to play a brushoff, but she hasn’t got her brush! Comm break.

1:21am: Ashley exits the diary room. He says he said the mood in the house was tired. Michael says that he likes doing the dishes if he has someone else good helping him out because he can have a good convo. John says he should get Camilla to do it tomorrow. John says he likes doing dishes. Michael says Camilla told him off the other day for using too must dishwashing liquid. He says that he told her that it would only affect him as dishpig, and in actual fact, he didn’t think he had enough in there, so he added more. John says that he finds Camilla funny in the morning. He says she walks around as if she is asleep while doing exercises, then goes back to sleep, then gets up late and complains that there are no raisins left, then goes back to sleep and gets up late for lunch and there are no beans left. It sounded very funny! Comm break.

1:34am: John, Michael and Katie on the couch. Katie tells the boys who she will see in the outside world. She says Jamie. Michael says that Katie was in Sydney, he would spend time with her all the time. Katie says that John and Anna would be the Melbourne ones. She says she would like to catch up to Karen, and also Claire. John says that Dani is a great chick. They all agree. They talk about how Rob was so pumped at the party, even with shit music. They say it was a great party. John says he was robbed with his! At 1:39am, Dreamworld says goodnight.

Day 25 Uplate

11:19pm: Dave and Michael are talking in their spot near the pool. Dave admits that anyone in his position would’ve had to accept the role of the insider. Dave says that Krystal apologised to Michael tonight. He didn’t realise this, and asks Dave to explain. Dave thought it was a complete apology. Michael says that he did try to get her offside as part of the strategy, so he’s partly to blame, but she failed to realise that Michael too was playing a game like she was in week one. Dave says she did realise this tonight. Michael says it’s important for her to realise that. Michael says that he made adiary entry last night saying that he didn’t like himself becoming aggressive and that he wanted to leave. Obviously he didn’t. Ashley comes out to tell Michael something, and he says thankyou. Dave says the insider thing went on for so long. Michael tells Dave that there are many more people in this house playing the game than he thinks. Dave wonders how he is portrayed seeing he fell for his insider story. Michael says that the public would see him as a sincere, honest person who is willing to believe people. Dave says he is dreading going out into the real world. He says if he stays past this week he wants to really start playing the game. Cut to the girls, Krystal, Claire, Camilla, Dani and John. Two different conversations going on, so it’s hard. Back to the pool. Michael says that if housemates do interesting stuff inside the house, people will want to speak to you when you get out. Michael says he is shocked that people who want to go on and use BB as a stepping stone to something big are to lazy to do anything interesting in the house. Michael says he would like to go down as an interesting character. Comm break.

11:33pm: Jade and Rob are talking outside. Jade says that if someone eats a peach in here they must go and workout. She says she isn’t like that, and even though she is trying to learn stuff in the gym, she isn’t really needing the gym. Jade says that she like Camilla and Claire. She wonders if Claire sleeps so much as an escape from the rest of the housemates. Jade doesn’t think she really has a connection with the rest of the group. Back over to the pool. Michael thinks that if Dave and him put their brain together they could stir some really good shit in the house. Dave says that would be good. Michael says that BB wouldn’t speak to him about the insider missions, he had no one to talk to at all about this and thats why he was stuffing up. He tells Dave that the pole was purely an accident. He says he kicked it purely as an accident. He says he couldn’t believe it when it was knocked over. He says it didn’t help that BB double crossed him by telling the housemates there was no wind overnight (sounds like something I wrote last night!) Back to Rob and Jade. Jade says she needs time to herself. She says she doesn’t like talking to doctors or Big Brother, she would rather just be by herself. She says she deals with things on her own. She says she is fine, she just needs 5 minutes along and she’s back to normal and ready to go again. Rob needs to go inside to fill his glass, and leaves her alone. Back to the pool. They move onto the intruders. Dave says that it was exactly what he wanted. Michael wonders if Dave would sleep with Rob. After a long time, it’s a no. Dave says he seems very nice but there isn’t the attraction there. Michael says that as part of the game, intruders know that they know that usually the housemates decide whether they stay or not. Dave says that they all know about his time in the house. Dave says that they are talking to him about things that are important to him and that he finds interesting, and he thinks that is no accident. Michael says it could be a coincidence. Dave says it could be, but he doesn’t think so. Dave goes onto say that he has seen Rob try and spend time with Katie, and he infers from that that she is well liked and a major player in the game sense of the show. Michael agrees with his theory. Michael wonders if they were in lockdown or not. Dave tells him they couldn’t have. Comm break

11:51pm: Lots of talking going on in the bedroom. Camilla and Claire are talking to Dani, and Rob is sitting on a bed nearby talking to Gaelan. They all seem to be talking about the ducks that were used in last week’s task. Cut to Jade lying down in bed not really saying much at all. Back out to the pool. Michael is saying that some people don’t think of the bigger picture and hold back. Dave says that you wouldn’t act the same in here compared to a nursing home. He says the fact that Rob is here, he’ll act differently now. He says he’ll joke more now. Michael really wants to join up with Dave and stir some action in the house. He again brings this up. Michael thinks it’ll be a way to forget about the outside world. Dave doesn’t want to do anything just yet, and Michael agrees that he needs to let this Insider thing subside a bit. Michael wonders why Camilla was crying tonight. Dave says it was simply a grab for attention. Dave says that she gets upset and angry at the people closest to her. Back to the bedrom where it seems everyone else is now. Camilla is holding a vibrator. Gaelan gets it and wants to start a relay with it, but doesn’t get much support from Rob. Back to the pool conversation which I’m sure is still going around in circles. Michael is further explaining on of his tasks, but I’m unsure which one it was. Michael says that if someone was going to find out, it was going to be Dave. He says he could’ve got deeper into the role, but when he saw Dave’s inital reaction he couldn’t go too far down the road. Comm break.

12:06am: The pool. Dave tells Michael that Krystal does now understand why he did what he did. Going round in circles! Michael says Krystal is a beautiful girl. Michael says Karen was his main concern. Dave thought that Karen was fasting in the house. Michael says he doesn’t want to get into it because Karen isn’t here to defend herself. Dave says the point he was trying to get across tonight was to get people to not say they are fat, because if someone is fatter than you, how would they feel? He says if it’s for attention or fishing for a compliment he hates it. Michael wants to ask him something. He wants Dave to keep an eye on him and make sure he’s not doing something stupid or spending too much time by himself or something, to pull him aside and just tell him that he asked to be pulled up. Dave agrees, and says vice versa. Michael has a blackhead on his forehead, and Dave tries to get it for him. Dave says ‘your right, it’s a freckle!’ Michael says that there is not too many true honest people in this house. BB calls Claire to the diary room. He says that he has a friend at work who also pulls him aside if he’s being an idiot or something, so he wants someone like that in here. Dave says he might be back on the horse come next Monday. Dave says he couldn’t have asked for a better month. He says it’s been so exciting. So not in control. Claire comes over with batteries. Dave and Michael meet her halfway. Michael says that when he first got in the house he thought he would miss the mics when he left, but he says he is over them now. Claire goes off to the other housemates, and Michael wonders where everyone is. Dave says there are all getting romantic. The boys head inside. Wow, over in the gym lying on the ground are Anna and Katie. Katie tells Anna that she has beautiful eyes in this light. They seem really bored. They bitch about having to get up and do a workout first thing, then move onto talking in song. Katie sings “Don’t you want to sleep with me”, and Anna replies “What about Jamie”. Cut to the bedroom. Michael has made his way in there, and everyone else is changing batteries. Cut back to the gym where the girls are laughing. They are dong push ups but Katie is moving up and down perhaps a few inches, and Anna isn’t moving at all. They collapse in laughter.

12:25am: Michael has somehow got Krystsl out to the pool area for a big D&M. They are talking about Anna crying about her dad the other night. Krystal says she knows how she feels because Krystal is kind of in the same position as Anna. Michael says that Krystal has double standards because she did something very similar; he says that the last time he really spoke to her she had given him a story of a fictious father. He says that at that time he thought Tilli and Krystal were his closest friends in the house. Michael says that he was very short with Anna when he told her the story about Rueben. He did this on purpose. He says that he probably lied to Krystal for a total of 3 minutes, while she lied to him for a week. Michael said that when the relationship was revealed, Michael specifically told Krystal that she didn’t need to apologise because she was playing the game. Krystal says that he didn’t say that till the next day. Krystal repeats what she said earlier over dinner, saying that she understands that Michael had to come up with a much more outrageous story than that of her own. Michael says he disagrees with a lot of things that Karen and Krystal did in this house. He says that the insider role tarnished his relationship with Krystal, her mother, and to a smaller extent, Tilli. Comm break.

12:41am: Krystal is still talking to Michael. She says that Michael took the news of the world first as if to say ‘was that it, thats not exciting.’ She says she felt great to be a part of something exciting, and to a small extent, Michael took her happiness away from her. Michael admits that he made a f***up there. He says that he jumped the gun and thought that their relationship had progressed further than it had. Michael says that he has said bad stuff about Krystal, but it doesn’t need to be bought up again. Krystal says that she had tried to stir him up. Michael refers back to a disagreement the other night saying that Krystal won that round and came out on top. He was referring to the ‘Is that why you don’t do any work?’ argument after the insider was revealed. Krystal says that everyone had wondered why he hadn’t done any housework. Michael apologises for the way he treated her in that argument, saying he later went to the diary room to apologise saying that he was very angry. That was a really short segment. Comm break.

12:55am: Back to Michael and Krystal. Krystal says that Michael always gets people one on one and questions them. She says she is annoyed by it. Krystal says she thinks he prefers having serious conversations, saying there is nothing wrong with that, it’s just the way he is. Krystal says she is over it and she doesn’t want to dwell on it. Michael thinks that her feelings are far from resolved. Krystal says she is never going to be best friends with him again, but they have to live together and she doesn’t want it to be awkward for them. Michael says that thats not the resolution he was after. Krystal says she isn’t going to avoid him anymore like they’ve been doing. Mike cuts in again :( Comm break.

1:07am: Inside in the living room. Camilla asks Michael about sleeping arrangements, and he’s cool either way. Jade and Claire are talking. Jade says she would go as far to say she loves him, but she doesn’t date the guy. She says it’s just for sex at the moment. SHe says she really likes John and Ash in the house though. John hears his name, and Jade covers well by saying they like his hair. Sleeping arrangements continue to be discussed. Very boring. Comm break.

1:17am: John and Dave are talking on the couch. Dani is also there. Dave is talking about the languages he knows a bit of from his travelling. John says his German is pretty good, but he’d struggle watching a film. He says that he would struggle with his Portugese though. Dave says that he’d move about and just completely get confused with all the different languages. Dani says he would love to learn Italian or French. John reckons Italian is better than French. They ask Rob is he knows Lebanese. He says enough to get him into a fight, and also to get him out of a fight. Dani doesn’t know any languages. She says she learned Indonesian. Dave says it was Japanese in Queensland in school. Michael comes out, and John wants to go to sleep, so he asks if it’s noisy. Mike says it’s very noisy, so John says he’ll stay put for a bit longer. Dani says she was so tired. Michael says the first few nights he was sitting outside thinking why was everyone asleep. John says he knows why people are drained now though. Dani explains to them that she fell in love with a guy who she never really dated for 3 years, and she was sad because it turned out the guy was taking advantage of the fact that she cared for him, and she realised he was a bit of an asshole. John says that she is only 18. She agrees. John says that he really didn’t think much of this Adelaide girl until she visited and went back and he missed her like crazy. He says he’ll see what happens when he gets out. He says he is so inexperienced with this whole love game. He says he can’t wait to see her when he gets out, and then goes onto say that he probably sounds like a fool only having seen her twice. Comm break.

1:29am: Dave and Dani are talking on the couch. They talk about goodbye messages. He says the girls always say nice stuff. He says he’ll have to do it this Sunday. He says that when Tilli did hers it was emotional for him because he says they had a real connection. Dani says she is a really emotional person. Dani asks him if he think he’ll go, but Dave says he has no idea. He says either way he’s happy. He says the last day has been great for him. Dani asks him who is looking after the farm. Dave says heapss of people are. He says he’ll be really happy to get back to the farm and plant stuff and keep an eye on it all. Dave says it must be so weird for the intruders. Dani says that she wouldn’t have been able to enter day 1 anyway, she had plenty of stuff to do family wise, she her dad and also send off her sister overseas. Dani says she was upset earlier at the table because of the whole people are fat issue. She says she had bilemma when she was younger. She says people used to think she ate so much, but of course she would just bring it back up. She says she had it because she was so depressed. She says she got down to 43kg, and now up to 55kg again. Cut to Michael and John. Michael says this house is changing. He tells John that he considered leaving. John says you can never understand how your being perceived in the outside world. They start talking about one of the girls in the house, but in code, so I’ve got no idea. Perhaps Claire. John says she is a great chick but he compares her to Elise a bit. At 1:43am, Dreamworld says goodnight.

Day 24 Uplate

11:29pm: Rob (intruder) and Dave are talking on a bed. Rob says “Oh David, stop. He’s not” They are looking at someone in the bedroom. Dave says he thought that would be the next suprise. Cut back to Mike…Back again quite quickly. Rob says Dave must be an ok judge of character. Whoever they are talking about is from Melbourne. I thought it was Michael, but that rules him out. Rob asks Dave if he has asked him straight out. It seems they think that one of the guys from Melbourne might actually be gay? Rob gets up and shakes Dave hand, telling him that he hopes to run into him again. He goes off to help Katie or something. Dave sits on his bed by himself. Out in the living room it seems that the old gang is all hanging out together. Rob comes out and talks to Katie through the glass, as shes in the punishment room. Jade comes back out, in her pj’s. Back in the bedroom, Camilla says she can’t wait to get Rob to do her hair. Rob says he loves the bags that BB supplied for the suitcase, and he wonders if they will be able to keep them. Camilla thinks so. Camilla wonders where Rob wants to sleep. Rob is more interested in unpacking, and asks Camilla if he is allowed to put things along the ledge above the beds, to wish she says that he can do whatever he wants. Rob says that he can’t complain because he got his scissors into the house. They sing a song. Rob shows his hat to everyone, Timberlake style of a hat. Mike talks, but we see intruder Danielle in the revenge room watching a dvd. Comm break.

11:54pm: It’s time to see Danielle enter the house. She comes out of the revenge room. Big Brother tells the house that ‘there is an intruder in the house.’ Danielle appears, Krystal and Anna look a little shocked. They are the first to greet her. Danielle introduces herself as Dani to everyone. Katie watches on amazed through the glass of the punishment room. Dani says hello to her in the punishment room, saying she feels sorry for her. She says hello to Gaelan, saying “Your Gaelan?”, meaning she knows all the names. Krystal and Camilla take her off for a tour of the house. John says she was smokin! Michael tells John that he must become the new insider. The girls continue to show Dani around the house, showing her the bedroom/bathroom and then moving outside. They tell her that there is a ballet task this week. Dani tells them she works in retail and marketing. She says she is 18. Krystal likes this for some reason. Claire and Anna are also talking to Danni. Dani says she has a birthday in June. She says the 17th, but then quickly corrects herself saying it’s the 9th. Claire tells her that hers is the 18th June, so perhaps BB ‘moved’ Danni’s to avoid 2 parties in two nights. Dani wonders if Karen was evicted, and the girls say yeh. The girls then remind her that she can’t talk about anything related to her BB experience from auditions onwards. The girls tell her that Jade had been telling people how they were being perceived in the outside world earlier, and got in trouble. Dani wants to get changed. Anna says they were debating whether their would be a third intruder. Krystal wonders if Dani knows Jade, but she says she doesn’t. She wants to get changed, but Anna suddenly realises she doesn’t have her suitcase yet. She explains that she’ll be called to the diary room shortly to collect it. Dani tells the girls they are absolutely gorgeous. She goes and introduces herself to David. Dave thinks it’s so weird that she knows all their names! They talk about Dani being the youngest. Katie says hi through the glass, and asks Dani’s name. Katie says she looks gorgeous. John cuts into the convo saying that Katie called him gorgeous. Dani saysd thankyou to her with hand gestures. Dani wants a glass of water, so follows Anna to the kitchen. She points out some stuff for Dani to remember in the kitchen. Dani wonders who the cook is this week. Anna tells her that she is shopper/chef. They move onto talk about the task. Dani says she is bad at dancing. Anna tells her that the guys are better than the girls. Krystal and Jamie stop by now and Krystal again informs her that the guys are better than the girls at the task. Dani asks Krystal and Camilla where they are from, and says that she can tell Camilla is from Melbourne. Comm break.

12:11am: Claire, Dani and Anna are talking about going to the toilet. Dani is a little concerned about it. Anna tells her that they don’t think about it anymore. Claire tells them she still holds her mic in her hand when she goes. Claire says that you get use to the mirrors and such, saying to Dani that occassionally you will notice people behind them very rarely. Cut out to the couch where Jade, John and Ashley are. John is telling Jade about himself, that he’s 21, studying media, plays AFL, and he loves his sports. He says he loves golf. Cut to the dining room table. Michael and Rob are talking. Rob wonders how Michael is feeling about the big reveal. Michael says he is more concerned how Rob is feeling coming into the house. Michael says that they were just in the diary room when he came in. He tells Rob that they took it very badly, yelled at and tears etc. He says it wasn’t what he expected. Michael feels like he’s been a different person in the house because of his role. He says it’ll be interesting now he’s no longer the insider. Rob tells him not to be a stranger. Michael says that you can’t be a stranger in here, there is way too much time. Dave joins the discussion. They talk about how great the idea of being able to fly somewhere is in a plane. He explains the plane that he was on coming up to the Gold Coast. Dino joins the convo as well, and Rob tells him it was his first ever flight. Dino wants to know where Wollongong is, Rob saying that it’s south of Sydney. Dino is suprised they threw another one in this late. Dave says he knew it. He classes Rob as the poof, Jade as the antagonist and Dani as the hot chick. Rob thinks he called Dani the dumb chick. Dino says that he feels sorry for her because everyone is ready for bed. Dino tells them that Dani has told the girls she won’t be showering naked. Michael says ‘send her back!’ Michael says he wants a relationship, but none of the girls are his cup of tea. Comm break.

12:27pm: Rob wonders how they can all sit here and talk like this 24/7. Michael says that this is an exciting moment and one that all the housemates will remember. Anna talks to Rob about the farm animals, saying that Gaelan is farm animals. Rob asks if he can go and help him, but they tell him you can’t ask him or give hints. Michael says the best thing to do is sit up in bed when he is called to do it, and then logically he would pick that person. Rob says he isn’t usually a morning person, but he wants to see the animals. Anna explains that a goat is called Tigga, and does a little impression of him. She also does another impression of the goats sucking the bottle, and it looks a lot like something else, and Rob says that he can show them how to properly do that. Anna asks Dave if he’s told Rob about his Lebanese thing. He hasn’t. After a lot of coaxing Dave finally says he has a real thing for Lebanese guys, so Rob says “Is this where we’re meant to hold hands now.” Dave says something rude which is beeped, then says ‘thats tomorrow.’ Thye change the topic to the aerobics that they have to do each morning this week. Dave asks about Rob’s parents. He says his Dad lives in Sydney, and his mum lives in Sussex Inlet or somewhere, on the NSW coast. He says he’s only just made the decision to move out of his grandmothers place (which could well be his) and lease his own house out and rent in Wollongong. Anna says she has a friend in Wollongong, and says the full name. Rob doesn’t know her by name, but says he would probably know the face. Rob starts talking to Jamie who is way over on the couch, supporting Katie who is still in the punishment room. Rob gets him to spell Katie’s name out with his hands (incorrectly mind you.) Anna says that he is good to be hanging around there supporting his girl. Anna tells Rob that before she saw him she was in tears, explaining Michael’s insider reveal really upset her. She says it wasn’t him exactly, it was his lies that bought up stuff that made her upset. She says they are cool now. Rob goes to get his slippers. Jade has come over to join them. She has something wrong with her finger. She mentions that all the girls have gone off to talk to Dani. Anna says that most of the girls are girl girls. Jade says she is more like a blokes girl. We head to the bedroom where all the girls are, minus Katie, and Gaelan. Gaelan is looking at Anna’s photos and she is explaining them. Anna talks to Dani about a friend or relative on the outside who is pregnent. They give Dani the option of sleeping with Anna or Gaelan, but she says ‘whoever will have me.’ Cut to the punishment room where Katie is still there sorting brown rice from white rice? Big Brother tells her that she is now free to leave the punishment room. She makes her way back to the diary room and sits down, asking “Am I going to be further punished.” Cam cuts away at that moment. In the bedroom, Claire, Krystal and Dani are looking at Rob’s photos. Krystal tells him he looks really hot in one of them. Comm break.

12:46pm: David comes out to the pool where Michael is sitting by himself. He says that Michael has had one of the most extraordinary life experiences. Michael sits there for a bit, and then says he did come here to play the game. David says that he’s done it well. Michael says that he stuffed it up a bit, he didn’t think it would last that long. He explains the first challenge, of wetting the bed, to Dave. He tells him he got a strike for that. He says he thought that they would be small little tasks like that. He says that he thought the Karen photos tasks was a bit mean, even though he doesn’t like her now. He goes onto the messing of the clown task. He says that the umbrella nearly stuffed his cover. He says that he decided to blame it on the wind. He says that BB didn’t help him out that wind was not the cause. He says he had to look as if he was about to crack at being questioned over that task. He says he had to make it look like he was about to flip. Dave says that they all thought that he had bipolar. Comm break.

1:00am: Katie is talking to Jade on the bed. Jade says she isn’t fitting in that great with the girls. She explains to Katie that Dani is a girly girl and that she has lost the other girls now. Jade continues saying that from what she has seen from intruders in the past, it’s either the guys or the girls who like you. Not both. Katie doesn’t seem to really agree with this. Jade goes onto say that as soon as Dani came in, the girls switched like that and basically said that your (Jade) not the girl they wanted. She says she isn’t going to change though. Katie says that she just has to be cool, and whatever happens happens. Katie says she can’t judge anyone yet, way too soon. Jade says she won’t beat Katie up if she doesn’t beat her up. Katie thinks that Jade will get on with Camilla. Katie is pleased she has her pj’s on already. Jade says she let her tits hang out, she wasn’t afraid. Jade says that at least she’ll lose some weight in here. Katie says she probably will. Katie goes and sits with other people and watches Jade do a little dance with the pole, before heading out of the bedroom. Cut back to Dave and Michael near the pool. Dino has also joined them. They tell Dino that Dave has more chance of hooking up with Michael than with Rob. Jade approaches and says that they’ll have to stop bitching about her now. Jade says that she is very adaptable and shes feeling fine in here. Anna is also there. Dino asks her how old she is, 19. She says she has her own business, she studies and has just got an office manager type job. Dave says he’s heard all this at the sitdown, but Dino says he wasn’t paying attention and wasn’t interested at the time. She explains that she has a tutoring company. She says she used to work for another one, and saw how much money there were making from her hard work, so she decided to break lose and start her own. She says that it’s not earning $50,000 yet so there is no GST involved just yet. Dave changes the subject for a sec, wondering if John Howard is stil the Prime Minister or if Peter Costello had taken over. Jade tells him Howard is still in charge. Dino is a little confused, because he’s wondering when the election is. Michael explains there is no need for an election, they can just switch. Michael thinks that it should have happened by now. Comm break.

1:16am: Dani has got her clothes and is changing into something a little more comfortable. Cut outside where Jamie and Dave have just got into the hottub. Jade comes and sits near it. Dave wonders if Jade has a guy. She says she doesn’t, but she has a friend with benefits kind of scheme going with a friend. She says that he is getting on though and he might want a relationship as he is 31. John gets in now as well. Jade says she isn’t ready or wanting a relationship at the moment. She says she has had a couple of serious boyfriends. She was 16 and had a 2 year relationship with him. She says she has a checklist for guys. She says it’s like a final hurdle before taking it any further with guys. Jamie says that he met the right girl at the wrong time when he was 17. He says that he isn’t seeing anyone now. Anna comes out in a bikini and gets in. John wonders if Dani is single. Anna tells them she is. She goes onto say that the guys lucked out with this lot, 2 single girls and a gay guy. Comm break.

1:29am: Heaps in the spa now. Krystal, Dani, John, Jamie, Dave, Anna, Katie and Gaelan. Jade is still spa side. They all tell the girls that they must be buzzing now, but for everyone else 3 weeks in, they are sooooo tired. About 3 conversations going on, too hard to make out. All of them talking and laughing except Jade, who heads inside after a while. John and Anna, sitting next to each other, both come to an understanding about trying to keep their hair dry. They say they feel bad for Rob because he’s in there doing dishes, but some of the boys say he doesn’t have to do them. They start singing, so we cut to the bedroom where Dino and Claire are lying on a bed facing each other. They seem to be talking about Rob. Claire says that his mum had to put him on the bottle early because he wouldn’t feed off the nipple. She goes onto say that his first sexual experience was when he was 18 and that he has never been with a girl. Dino says he came out in year 7. Claire says it’s so early for intruders. Dino says 3 more girls. Claire laughs. Jade comes over and offers tampons to anyone. Once she goes to the bathroom, Claire laughs. She says “She is out” numerous times. Michael and Dino talk about someone molesting Michael (one of the new intruders), but it’s a weird convo and I can’t work it out. Big Big Brother obviously has because he gives Dino a $5000 fine for talking in code. Claire is a bit suprised, saying it was harsh. Michael tells him not to worry about it. Back to the spa. I think they are wondering how Dino got the fine, and they think they have it sussed because he used some code in his goodbye message to the house and thats probably why they know what he’s talking about. Gaelan says that the goodbye messages would be really good to do early on because there are more people. He says he would like to make a heap of jokes in his. Anna says that she was trying to think of things to say last night in bed. John just wants people to remember he’s in the house! John says that when Dani rocked up she said hi by name to several housemates with him watching on and then when it got to him it was simply a “Hi, how ya going?!” John says he’s only mucking around and doesn’t care. Danielle says she was just really nervous waiting around to go into the house. They say that it was early for intruders. Anna thought it would be week 6, John thought it would get down to the final 8 or so before it was done. Gaelan says he told someone earlier tonight that it would be week 4 or 5. Gaelan then says they’ll be more in week 8. John says he hopes there is more. Comm break.

1:45am: Back in the spa. But we cut to the bedroom even quicker. Rob is saying that he can’t believe he bought shoes from Kmart. Claire agrees, but they are comfy. Back to the spa. Only Gaelan, Katie, Dani and John are left. Gaelan is talking about a time when BB caught him snoozing. He says he went to the diary room, and BB said ‘Gaelan, you were snoozing.” Gaelan replied by yawning and said “Nah, nah I wasn’t”. Sorry Jamie was also there. He gets out now though. They tell Dani about the names for the farm animals. Back to the bedroom, the girls and Rob talking about bourban and coke. Rob thinks Jade must have been working in a bar, but she says she hasn’t. Jade talks about an award she won at school or something, and then says she wants to start a charity where she takes care of underperforming or underpriviledged kids and gives them a job in her business so they can get something to put on a CV. She says they need food etc in the short term, but they need a long term goal as well. Back to the spa again. Gaelan is telling Dani about the jobs around the house. Comm break.

1:57am: Jamie is sitting up in bed. Jade wonders who she is sleeping with. She says she can’t sleep with everyone because she’s not a slut. Camilla then says she’ll sleep with anyone. Camilla says that Jade has slept with 6 people. She then asks Rob how many he’s done. He says somewhere around the 20 mark. Jade wonders about the finer points of gay sex. BB cameras head back to the spa. Gaelan says that Tilli fell asleep halfway through the most intense story he’d ever told. They talk about how there is not much more to do during the day but sunbake. At 2:02am, Dreamworld says goodnight.

Day 23 Uplate

11:30pm: Dino, John and Michael are in the gym. Dino is saying that when he is asking the girls which guys they like he is complimenting them in a bizarre way, whereas the girls see it as the guys trying to crack onto them. Dino says it’s all in fun. Jamie is also out there. Dino says that Anna got defensive when Dino asked a question such as that today. John says he saw that too. Dino suggests they make their way to the sauna, saying it’s turned into the guys room. He says that Camilla sometimes heads in there, but not many others do apart from the boys. John says Katie goes in there. They say that Karen also used to like to go in there, but she is gone. John says that he rated Karen a 6 when he first walked in the house, but quickly raised her to an 8 when she first got in a bikini. Michael says that he is at the age where he needs a girl to be able to have a conversation with him rather than just simply looks. Michael says that he once went out with a girl who had no personality but looked stunning for 2 months, simply for the sex. John and Jamie both say they haven’t done that. Camilla interrupts wondering if Michael can give her a lesson at something. Michael really doesn’t want to, you can tell, as he’s umming etc. Camilla gets the hint and says that whenever he is ready is fine. He agrees, and the boys are left alone again. John says Moroccian Joe and laughs, and they bring up Elise. Michael says he wishes she was still here. Dino disagrees saying “No. I thought she was a pissweak character.” John agree,s but starts laughing heaps at Dino’s comment. Michael remembers when she was in a clown suit and came out with balloons in her costume. Michael says he felt bad for her. Dino agrees with that. He says she didn’t fit in anywhere, she would stand behind a circle and eventually say “yeh yeh” to a conversation and everyone would turn around and she’d have to walk away because she knew she was a dickhead. They decide to head to the sauna. John keeps laughing at ‘pissweak character’ as they walk in. Dino gets ready for the sauna as John checks on Anna, who is lying on the bed. She says she has a sore throat, and thats she is tired, but she’s alright. Dino heads to the sauna and says he’ll have to leave the bathroom door open because Gaelan just left a lovely smell from going to the toilet.

11:45pm: Heaps of people in the living room. Katie, Krystal, David, Camilla and Claire. Camilla is talking about a guy she met in Coles in Richmond. She says that he was 33, non married and single. She says that had she not been seeing Michael (her kinda boyfriend on the outside) she would have got the guys number. The guy had a kid that the mother no longer wanted since breaking up. Krystal wonders how old Katie would go seeking a boyfriend. She says 26. Gaelan is there, Claire is not, apologies. Gaelan says that age doesn’t really matter to him as long as they are fun. Katie kinda agrees. Krystal says she has been with an older guy, and lets them guess. I think she nodded to 32 as the age. Gaelan says that his brother is 40 but doesn’t look like it, and can still pull 21 year olds. Krystal dated someone who was 26 when she was 17, but she thought he was about 21. Camilla tells a story but there are too many beeps in it, so I have no idea whats going on. Something about a party at her old man’s work, and hiss boss was in the 40’s and asked her to have a drink with her. She says she had to say no when the boss asked her straight out. David changes the subject and tells Katie that he finds her attractive. Krystal wonders whether he finds her attractive, and he says ‘extremely.’ Gaelan asks Dave if he think he himself is attractive (Dave.) Dave says that he knows he’s alright looking, and he says he can get what he wants easily enough. They wonder if Claire is asleep. Krystal says she’s the new Tilli, always sleeping. Katie says she better get up then otherwise she’ll be evicted.

11:57pm: John and Michael are in the sauna. John wonders if Uplate would be on. Michael says it’s better if they don’t mention it or talk about it. They turn their attention to what they think the time is as Jamie climbs into the sauna to join them. John says he’s having a stab in the dark, but he thinks 10:30. Michael agrees. Dino comes in and flashes himself to the other guys. Jamie says he did it three times in the punishment room the other night. Cut to Mike for a bit, then back to the sauna. Dino says that he finds it unfortunate that he gets along with the guys so well and the girls he find irritating. He says if even the smallest thing happens with the girls, he really gets annoyed, wheras if it was one of the guys he wouldn’t think twice about it. John agrees. Dino says that they just don’t think before talking. Michael’s toe is hurting. Jamie gets out and so does Dino. Michael says he’ll stay with John. Michael says that he was very happy with the way things went tonight. John says ‘really’. He says yeh. John said that he didn’t want her to be here John didn’t want him to be here either. Michael says that he’s happier now, and he’ll see what happens in the next day or two. John thinks that it’s crazy with 15 housemates in the house, but says that comfort will come when housemates start to dwindle, and that’ll last for a few weeks, then you’ll become frustrated, and the last stage being the one where you just learn to live with each other. Comm break.

12:11am: Heaps of people in the living area/kitchen. Lots of convo’s and hard to make out. Mike cuts in and spins shit for quite a while. Back to the house, camera following Michael in the bedroom by himself. He’s getting changed. Finally cut back to the living room. Camilla is talking about some show or something. Claire starts talking about Man O Man and how she used to love playing it with her friends back in high school. Jamie agrees that it was a great show. Someone didn’t ever see it, so a few people explain the concept of the show. Camilla talks about Paradise Hotel. Gaelan says The Resort was good. Michael tells them they had to pull it only a tiny way through because of such poor ratings. Krystal seems to have watched it, and then says they must have cancelled it, because she never saw the end. Someone else mentions “The Villa”. Oh dear, talking about crap reality TV.

12:27am: John and Ashley are all that remain on the couch by the looks of it. John seems stunned that Ashley doesn’t drink milk. Ah actually it’s Dave. John says he doesn’t drink it either. Dave says he used to drink 2 litres a day when he lived in town, but not anymore. Claire and Dave start singing “Hungry Eyes.” Michael and Camilla are out in the gym. Michael tells Camilla he’s feeling positive. He says he found out some information from the outside world so he’s happy. Camilla says she can’t believe that he has a son. Michael says he loves the boy to death. Camilla wishes she had known from the start. They start talking about the gym equipment and Michael tells her how to exercise properly. Camilla says she could be going home on Sunday. She says she would be happy with that. Michael says a month is a great accomplishment. Camilla wonders if he’s shocked at not being up. Michael says that he believes everything happens for a reason so he’ll go with the flow. He says thats something is obviously keeping him in the house. Michael says he’s dissapointed that he can’t exercise because of his toe. Camilla suggests asking BB about it. Michael says he did FNL, but perhaps he was just pumped. Michael makes her do 60 seconds seated on the exercise bike going hard. Cut back inside, John is talking to someone. John says that when he’s at uni he tries to do all his homework there so he can veg when he’s home. He says he works part time for his old man who is a builder. Dave wonders if his dad just pays him cash, but John says it all goes through the books. He says he gets $14 an hour. Dave seems suprised. Dino says that it’s handy money when your at uni. John agrees, and says that he is learning so much that he would do it for $10 or so anyway. Dave says he thought $14 was only for farmers. Cut to the bedroom, Anna, Krystal and Jamie are there. Anna thinks she’s been asleep for a bit. Krystal suggests about an hour she has been asleep for. Jamie hums the wedding tune.

12:45am: In the living room. Quite a few people there. Gaelan says he did an outback shoot for another countries magazine or something. They asked him to grow a beard, and he couldn’t. Jamie and Katie whisper with Krystal for a bit. They talk about how they have more rice or something this week. Talk turns to Krystal’s shoots. Her first shoot she was really embarrassed and didn’t want to do a few poses. Someone asks her to do the pose from her last Ralph shoot. Krystal says they’ll bring them back out (on the cover baby!) Krystal tells the guys that Jennifer Hawkins was on the cover when her latest shoot first appeared, and a Michelle from ‘a similar reality show.’ Krystal seems worried now, and talks to Gaelan wondering whether they can release photos without Krystal herself giving them the go ahead. Gaelan says they properly can because she didn’t sign a non release. (Perhaps the latest shoot was the fruitshop one and the test shoot Krystal was worried about is the one in the latest Ralph.) Gaelan says they are most likely out now. Krystal seems concerned, so Katie tells her that she has some shockers out there somewhere. Gaelan says “oh but you mum loves those school photos.” It gets a laugh. Actually Krystal now explains the test shoot she did, saying she is having an ice cream which is dripping down her skin and she’s sitting down legs apart front on to the camera, with her pants pulled down a long way and a really short tight top. Katie says thats ok though, because she’s covered.

1:02am: Gaelan says that he has half a grapefruit everyday. Krystal says that it’s a really great fruit. Talk changes to Subway. Krystal says the last time she was there she asked for a little bit more tomato, and they charged her a $1 more. Katie talks about a Brazilian guy who totally won her over by just giving her the nicest compliments and saying everything she wanted to hear. Comm break.

1:15am: Jamie is talking to David about his brother. He says his brother tells him all the time that Dad is running the company he owns wrong and he should be doing this, this and this. He says that his brother is very switched on. Jamie says that when one of his friends is hanging out and his brother is there Jamie can’t get a word in and is totally out of the conversation because it goes over his head. He tells Dave that it’s been awesome growing up with his two brothers, referring to them as his two best mates. He says that if you invite a friend over to hang at his place it’s an honour, because they just don’t bring friends over because they are that close they don’t need anyone else. Jamie explains John and Ben, his brothers in a bit more detail. However. we’re taken to the bedroom where everyone is seated around Camilla who has just had a panic attack. Claire is talking very softly and calmly towards her and telling her to breathe through her nose. Krystal tells her that she has a very cute nose. A small smile shows up on her face. Krystal says that Claire should be a nurse. Claire says it’s basic; you can’t panic when another person is panicking around you. Camilla says that her head feels really strange. Camilla says she just feels like going to sleep now, she’s so tired. Claire says she will feel like that. Camilla stands and makes her way to the diary room, which almost opens as soon as she hits the button. We hear Jamie say that he doesn’t think another girl will go. He then thinks about it, and takes it back.

1:28am: Camilla is just getting into bed. Katie and Anna are making sure she’s ok. Krystal yells out “Sweet dreams Camilla.” Anna gets her a face wipe to get the makeup off. Anna tells her that she’ll make sure the housemates are quiet if they come into the bedroom. Back out to the kitchen. Jamie says a girl started talking Swedish girl outside a lecture theatre, and later found out she was royalty. A princess from Sweeden. Jamie says that she was talking Swede, and he stood there and freaked out! Michael says that he does look Sweedish. Jamie says it was a big regret walking away from her, not knowing who she was. ‘Big’ Big Brother calls John to the diary room. Jamie says batteries. Dave helps him discover it was Princess Victoria. This happened at a university in Stockholm (sp?). Jamie wonders how Dave knows so much about them. Dave says he knows stuff. Jamie thinks that Dave knows them, but he denies it. Dave says that he would there though, because she is spectatular. John comes out and it’s a battery change all round. Katie grabs one for Camilla. Feed cuts to Katie changing Camilla’s mic. Katie tells her that everyone is concerned about her out there. Back to the kitchen. David says that Sweeden is a hated country because they are so liberal. Krystal yells something quite loudly. David says he has been to most of Europe but not Sweeden. He says Finland people are quite rude. He says they take their clothes off all the time. Gaelan says he wouldn’t worry about that. Comm break.

1:41am: Katie says she loves the colour of John’s eyes. She says she likes Jamie’s as well, but says they look like big pupils sometimes. Jamie gives her a cuddle. Ashley and Gaelan continue working on the dishes. Claire tells them that there are no more dishes lying around. Cut to the bedroom where the lights are out. Camilla is talking to someone, saying she didn’t want to push it with her GP. She is talking to Dave. She says she has had a panic attack before. Jamie comes over and Camilla apologises for sleeping in his bed. Jamie says he’s going to sleep with Dino, so he’s going to sleep naked and hopes Dino can deal with it. Camilla says she is embarrassed with her panic attack. Cut to the bathroom. Katie, Ashley, John, Michael and Gaelan are in there, most brushing their teeth. At 1:51am, Dreamworld says goodnight.

Day 20 Uplate

10:37pm: Michael and Ashley are in the rewards room. Michael says that Ashley has always been friendly with him. Ashley says there are shallow people in the house. Michael says that many haven’t taken the time. Ashley agrees, saying that he was so peeved when he found out that Karen was only here for the money. Michael agrees. He says that they are all here for the money at the back of the mind, but they are trying to make some friends as well. Ashley says that when she’s talking about refinancing her house and all these things, it makes him think about doing the same thing when he gets out, and says to Michael that it probably makes him think about Rueben. Michael says it does, and says that Karen is setting a bad example for Krystal, and together they set a bad example for all teenage female girls. He goes onto say that he doesn’t think they provide anything in this house. He says that Camilla, even though everyone can’t stand her, she offers something to the house, and that woman can assert themselves. Ashley agrees completely. Comm break.

10:51pm: Ashley says he gets bored very easily, and if he stuck around a long time, he would be over it by the time it gets down to low numbers. He says he would love to win though. Ashley talks about his bowling victories and coming second numerous times in other sports. He says it would be a dream come true to win this game. He says that after BB he’s up for anything; he says that nothing comes to him, he’ll go back to laying bricks. He says if he has to go back to TAFE he will, but he’ll wait and see. He says he’s excited. Michael says he’s injuured. They talk about how the rewards room is setup for Guy/Girl action. Ashley says that you can’t expect anything in this house. Michael is a bit worried he spoke to BB a bit rudely the other day. Comm break.

11:05pm: Housemates seem to have just received some alcohol, and are sitting at the dining table. Seem to have audio from Ashley as well, so it’s a bit hard. He’s asking Michael what number he thinks he should choose for the boxes. The girls say that the alcohol is good stuff, and thank BB. Krystal says she would’ve preferred Cruisers. Ther girls talk about a mock wedding they’ve been planning all week between Jamie and Katie. Mike cuts in for ages, and we go to a comm break.

11:13pm: We join Michael in the diary room. Big Brother is telling him the rules for choosing one box of the three. He makes sure that Michael will read the rules out loud once Big Brother tells him to do so. He is sent out to the rewards room. Mike cuts in and talks as Michael makes his way to the rewards room. He reads the letter out loud as Ashley watches on. While he waits for Big Brother’s instructions, he prays. BB asks him which box he wants; Michael replies 3. He opens the box to find he’s won the laundry service for 3 housemates. He checks the other boxes, fortune cookie in box 1, and the trip to China in box 2. Big Brother congratulates Michael. He says out loud “Oh well Mum, we don’t get the trip.” He says he won’t pick Ashley because he’s in here with him for the laundry. Ashley says he should pick Johnny. Comm break.

11:24pm: Most housemates are outside sitting down. Very hard to make out any conversations. They talk about how people use the phrase ‘cutting my lunch’ or ‘grass’ to describe people stealing boyfriends/girlfriends. Katie and Anna argue over who hasn’t had enough wine yet. Ashley has joined them, it seems Michael is the only absent member around the table. Someone farts and heaps of people call out ‘chick peas.’ They ask what Ashley had for dinner, and he tells them Chinese. Comm break.

11:37pm: Everyone still sitting around the outside table. Ashley and Claire are talking about the rewards room. They talk about the shampoos, and then Ashley tells Claire about a cannister she never found in there. Claire tells Dino that they found the tea in the rewards room. Anna and Katie still arguing about alcohol. Another comm break!

11:46pm: Anna gets up from the table and goes inside. She soon comes back out. Dino tells a story from tonight’s FNL. He says he knocked other people over when they were in those big massive head things they had to wear. Michael is now at the table. Katie is talking to Dino, they continue talking about FNL. Still way to much shouting and conversation to make any sense of it. Camilla has bought out a heap of glasses for some reason. But that ends the program. Dreamworld says goodnight.

Day 18 Uplate

11:25pm: Out at the task. Katie is one of the people on duty. She is saying she got no sleep last night and is looking forward to going to bed. Claire is the other person on duty. Ashley is keeping an eye on them. He says that everyone seems tired, and the whole house is on a ‘monotone’ level. Claire says she gets teary when she’s tired. Ashley agrees, saying everyone gets emotinal. Katie does some noises, and wonders whether it sounds like someone giving birth. Dino comes out. He wonders how long they’ve been going for. Claire says an hour. Big Brother tells Dino that he must clean the entire bathroom floor. Dino says damn. He explains to the housemates that he had done the area where everyone walks near the basin etc, but not the shower. He says he knew he would have to do it, but was trying to get away with it. Dino says that he has done it pretty quickly though. Claire starts talking about stars and making wishes. Ashley thought it had to be a shooting star to be able to make a wish. Katie says that she sucks at this task. She goes onto say that Michael is so good at stuff like this. Comm break.

11:35pm: Dave and Ashley are talking in the bedroom (Have a feeling that it might’ve been Gaelan and not Ashley outside in the previous paragraph.) Ashley is saying that he doesn’t like being just a bricklayer, he wants to be more. He see’s this as a real oppourtunity to break into a new ‘world’. He says he wants to live life, not ‘die’ everyday like he’s doing. He says something about ‘and when the court case is over’ and then it’s bleeped, and we cut back outside. Katie is saying that they’ll be famous soon. Claire says that even if there not it won’t matter. Katie hopes that nothing got out that she doesn’t want to get out, citing photos some guy has of her. But they aren’t completely nude. BB can’t win at the moment. We cut back to the bedroom, but thats basically all bleeped out too, so we just can’t win. Mike cuts in for now. Back finally out to the girls. Camilla walks by so they yell out to her, and tell her that Jamie is going to take over soon. Camilla starts doing some running around the backyard. (It was Gaelan earlier, apologies.) Camilla says that she runs like such a girl. Claire makes an excellent point, saying she would be worried if she didn’t look like a girl. Katie says that their dinner routine is stuffed because they stay up so late and feel like something else before going to bed. She thinks that they go to bed later than previous series. Katie says she is busting, and Gaelan says it’s time, and he goes and gets Michael. Comm break.

11:52pm: Claire and Katie are calling for Gaelan. Katie wants to know if Krystal is nice to sleep with. Claire says that Krystal gives off more body heat than Elise did, but she might need a spooner soon. Gaelan reappears and says that Michael is coming. Camilla wonders if they are allowed to go in the spa. She wonders if she can go in. Claire seems to think you can. Gaelan and Katie talk about bodyboarding. Katie says she can’t feel her toes. Claire thinks that Michael must be wanting them to get sick. Cut to watching Dino scrubbing the bathroom floor with a toothbrush. Back outside again. Michael has appeared and talks to Gaelan about what side they each want. Michael takes over for Katie, Gaelan takes Claire’s side. Michael has the harder side. The changeover went actually really well. The girls leave, and Camilla is left with the boys. Michael says “Hello there!” They talk about the ducks which are in the fish tank. Camilla says she is bored. Gaelan has discovered a duck which doesn’t have stickytape on it’s ass. Head inside to John and Krystal. John says Sydney doesn’t interest him at all. Krystal says she’ll go there to get a job. Krystal describes the bad part of the Sydney city. Krystal and John realise that there is a Surrey Hills and an Oxford Street in Melbourne and Sydney. John reassures Krystal that Melbourne’s Oxford street isn’t gay. Comm break.

12:09am: Michael and Gaelan still doing the task in the backyard. John has joined them watching on, Camilla has gone somewhere else. Michael wonders if Dino is still cleaning the floor. Krystal comes out as well now. Michael says it’s gets more comfortable after a while. Krystal wants to know if they want to switch. Gaelan says they just got on, saying “you want to get on and go to bed!”. They realise than Krystal isn’t wearing any makeup. Michael tells her she looks so different. Krystal sas she looks ugly. Camilla splashes water at them. Michael tells her that her face looks really clear. Krystal says she has never ever had a facial. They start talking about the blackhead on Ashley’s back that Dave popped the other night, and how big it was. We cut away to Dino for a bit, then back. Camilla is still trying to convince people that if people want to stay up they should be able to just keep going with the task. Krystal says that it’s better if only one of the next crew have to sit out and keep the current people doing the task company. Krystal says that her and Anna are next, and she’ll wake Anna at the last minute. Camilla is washing her clothes in the backyard, listening in as well. Jamie comes out and hugs Krystal. Dino comes out as well. They tell Jamie that he slept through his shift. He says he feels bad, and he’ll double shift or something. They tell him he’s with Camilla a bit later on. Comm break.

12:25am: Gaelan, John, Michael and Krystal around the task. All laughing. Krystal and Michael seem to be getting on much better after the argument a couple of days ago. They talk about how it would be good to do a mother/daughter combo or a twin combo. Michael says if they were hot twins, he’d go for the twins. Cut to the kitchen, it’s Jamie, Anna and Dino talking. Dino is telling them about how he had to do the bathroom. Anna looks like she just woke up. All pretty silent in the kitchen. Back outside, Krystal says she has never had a one night stand. Gaelan says that she will like Melbourne. Krystal says she’s slept with 9 guys. They ask Camilla and she says 30ish. Before answering she asks “In one day!?” They ask Krystal when she turns 20, and it’s July 12th. They talk about how the order is for the task. Michael asks who Krystal and Karen would rather go home if one has to. Krystal says Karen would rather go if they are evicted. Krystal says if it’s her to go, she’ll have to look after the kids. Michael says that at least they would have a good cook. Krystal says she thinks Gaelan is a bit of a charmer. He tells Camilla that he’s highest in a day is only 2 girls. Gaelan says he is very selective. Gaelan admits that he only has one night stands, although they aren’t frequent. He says he doesn’t even have sex buddies. Comm break.

12:40am: In the kitchen/living room we have John, Camilla, Dino and Anna. Gaelan is inside now, so it seems Krystal has gone with Jamie. They wonder why people change, and then they suggest they all go in girl/boy combo. John says he should go with Anna! Camilla can’t find a partner. Anna comes and lies on John, who is on a chair. We head outside, where Krystal and Jamie are talking music. There is a bit of bleeping out too. Quickly cut back inside. Anna looks so tired, and John and Michael are annoying her by saying that she doesn’t last very long when it’s her turn on the task. Camilla wonders who dislikes her in the house, but no one shares their thoughts. Camilla wonders whether it’s the girls who dislike her. Anna comes over and tells her that everyone probably thinks nicely of her because she has the balls to stand up and stay stuff. Camilla wishes people could tell her what they dislike about her so she could try and change it. Dino comes over with some fresh batteries for the clan. Comm break.

12:56pm: Krystal and Jamie chatting while doing the task. Talking about relationships. Krystal says she believes that you have more than one soulmate in your lifetime. Krystal says she likes a challenge in a relationship. Jamie says that Krystal hasn’t been herself. She says she hasn’t, she is normally louder. She says she doesn’t want to be the girl who is ‘fake’, regarding the boob job. She says she doesn’t regret having it done. Jamie says that she will change people’s perception because she’s so lovely. He says it took a week to get Jamie to change his mind, but now she is nowhere near the stupid fake girl. He says she is really sweet and natural. Jamie says that he was so worried about his intro video on launch night. He says that he really isn’t anything like the video. Krystal says that in some regards it makes or breaks you that intro package. Jamie agrees. Jamie says that since she has come out (mother/daughter), she has been very consistent. Krystal says that the fight with Anna has calmed down now and she’s glad of that. She says she has only recently started sticking up for herself. Dino comes out. Dino says he’s on yard duty, and they talk about bin duty back in high school. Comm break.

1:09pm: Dino, Camilla and someone else have joined the people doing the task. They are talking about people’s names they know, famous people….anyway, feed has quickly changed. Into the living room, Anna, Michael, John are there. Michael tells Anna that he loves her. John sees it’ll be interesting to see who stays on Sunday and how they cope. He adds that this task has taken the focus off eviction totally. Anna can’t believe that they are excluding her from the convo. They tell her to come over closer so they can hear. She does. John says they might be stepping on boudaries with this conversation. Michael doesn’t think so. He adds that there is some alliances forming in the house though. The others agree. Michael thinks that one of the goals was to get all the girls thinking along the same lines and try to get the boys out of the house, and then the more dominating girls could control the house. They say that Camilla will listen to anyone that will talk to her. They say Anna won’t get sucked in though, and she agrees. Michael says that the incident with Karen/Krystal and Anna earlier last week was similar to schoolyard bullying through his eyes. John says it was great that Anna stood up for herself. John says that she has to try not to swear because they won’t hear the full side of the story because the swearing affects what they show on the daily show. John admits that he though Anna would’ve just cried, but he loved that she stood up and fought back. Comm break.

1:26am: Changeover time. Smooth again. Dino and Camilla has taken over. Dino says she has started talking already. Camilla wonders if he’s felt like climbing the walls and just jumping over. He says he got up on the roof the other day to try to find the ducks. Camilla wonders who will go this weekend. Dino wants Karen to go, he says that she is playing the game too hard. He says he heard something that she said and he didn’t like it. He says that she told other girls that if they wanted to go further in the game they had to pick the boys off. Dino says she didn’t even get picked up for that. camilla says she likes Karen, but she’s weary of people. Mike cuts in. Uplate update. Finally get back out there. Camilla is saying that Dave and Karen get along really well. Camilla says she thought Tilli was a bit of a suprise. Camilla says she is nervous because Tilli left. Oh my god. Mike cuts in again. Comm break.

1:39am: Anna has joined Camilla and Dino out the back. Anna is talking about Karen. She has no time for her, saying that if Karen apologised she might be a bit more civil towards her. Dino says that once you notice one bad thing about a person, you tend to easily find more. Camilla says that Krystal doesn’t have anything to worry about. Dino says it would be best for the house if Karen went. Anna says she was stupid to tell people she was only here for the money. Dino agrees, saying he would make it a point of trying to get her out because of that. Dino tells the others that Karen was staring at him all through nominations. He says that when people haven’t made up their mind it’s common sense to stare at people to try to think of reasons to nominate them. Jamie comes out and says that he should have to do an extra shift because he missed one. John tells a story of his last girlfriend. It was back in 1999. Geez. He met her at Nundawading Pools and chatted her up. Mike cuts in, and thats it. Dreamworld says goodnight at 1:48am.
