He continues to be the most interesting (or is that strangest?) person in the house.
Big Brother sets Michael the task of getting eight nominations for eviction on tonight's nomination show. What does he do to get the housemates to do this? Invents a whole elaborate story about how he has this eight (why eight?) year old son named Reuben whose parenthood has just come into question as he entered the Big Brother house.
The way he goes around to each housemate systematically and tells them the spiel is absolutely hilarious to watch… "Hey Man! Have I told you about my kid called Reuben yet?" Each time he tells the story it sounds less and less convincing. And then he finishes the story with: "I don't want to just leave the house, but I really should get out of here." It's like the person at a party who says, "I really must go", when they don't have anywhere to go.
If Michael really wanted to get at least eight evictions nominations tonight, he would tell the housemates this afternoon that he made Reuben up as a joke, because he is bored!! But I don't think he's that clever.
