Final Week in Review

July 29, 2006

Well, sorry I’ve been out of the blogosphere on the last week of BB.  I’ll be blogging regularly now until the end.  I promise.

This week as with all final weeks of Big Brother, can be a little dull.  All of the interesting people are usually gone and the task given to the housemates is usually a nice feel good task.  Having said that, I did like the dominoes task this week.  It was good that they gave the housemates a camera to follow the action… and to get in close on the product placement too! ;-)

After Chris was evicted, Big Brother advised the housemates that they have survived and have become the Final Four.  That puts them all up for eviction this Sunday night.  I guess this means that another two will be coming out leaving the cliff hanger of who wins out of the two to Monday night.  I do wonder though if they will change that this year so that one leaves this Sunday and then the remaining three stay for the Monday.  We’ll have to wait and see.

Jamie really seems to have risen in popularity this week.  It’s a long way from the narcissitic bad behaviour of a few weeks back when he was nominated a couple of times.  I wonder if he can win it?

David has been a bit of a drama queen this week.  Especially after Claire and Krystal were evicted and he did the whole crying in the rain thing.  I suspect he is incredibly popular with the viewers and will get a lot of the 2SAVE votes in the lead up to the end.

Camilla is huge.  She has managed to tap into the zeitgeist the same way that Sara-Marie from BB01 did.  A huge number of weeks up for eviction and escaped everyone of them to make it to the end.

Max… well, what can I say?  I honestly think if they had have put him in the show from the beginning, he still would have made it to the end.  He seems to be a very nice person, entertaining to watch and very good to live with.  I loved his comment about the types of girls he finds attractive.   He generally doesn’t go for good looking girls because he likes girls with personality.  I thought it was funny when he said, he doesn’t mean any disrepect to good looking girls.  Good on ya Max, but I don’t think they’ve got anything to worry about.

Friday Night Live – The Prize Fight was fun to watch… the games seemed to be some of the most well thought out this series.  I especially enjoyed watching all of the housemates crash through the doors.  I would love to have a go at something like that.

Anyway, that’s enough of my ramblings, I will write again after the Sunday eviction.  At this stage I think the game will play out with Max going next, then Jamie, leaving David and Camilla as the final two.

The winner, I think will be Camilla… but, we’ll have to wait and see.

Cap’n Claire’s Intuition

July 14, 2006

I was impressed by Claire’s intuition last night.  When Big Brother told her that housemates were planning a mutiny for the Pirate Task and she could choose one person to make an example of.  She chose Darren as the person most likely to cause trouble.

Who would have thought that Darren’s banishment to Dead Man’s Island would dredge up such bad feelings for him?  It took him back to a time when he was misbehaving on school camp and a teacher made him sit outside which resulted in a case of mild hypothermia for the little tyke.  I’m surprised he reacted like this as he was only outside for a half hour.  That’s not very long.

It just goes to show you that even the most cocky and seemingly confident people have emotional achilles heels.

Long Episode

June 30, 2006

Last night we were treated to a one hour episode.  It’s funny, it didn’t seem to be longer to fit more in.  Maybe it had something to do with stopping viewers from switching over to watch the first episode of a new show on Channel 7.  Or am I being cynical again?

We were treated to…

John’s mexican hat dance.

Krystal putting the hard word on Gaelan.  Is that the most uninspiring relationship you’ve ever seen on television?

Ashley wanting to kiss Claire, while Camilla wanted to kiss Ashley. Man oh man!  Talk about cringeworthy!

I think the traffic light task is okay, but have you noticed the amber light doesn’t get used?

Goal!

June 16, 2006

It's a shame the Socceroos aren't up against the housemates in the world cup. Can you imagine the goals they'd score?

In all honesty it's a dumb task this week. How can you expect the housemates to guard a goal that size from a launcher at that proximity without any warning? I also find watching the housemates writhe around on the floor in mock agony cringeworthy.

I didn't think I'd mention that Jamie and Katie are still giving me the shits! I can't believe they are still going. Talk about *MAJOR* dummy spit. I hope the games are amusing tonight.

The Scream Test

June 7, 2006

This week's task is the Scream Test. The challenge is that BB will try to shit scare the housemates and they aren't supposed jump or scream with fright. Every time that they do, they get a black mark. If the housemates get too many of these, they will lose the task.

It should be funny to see the B grade horror moments and the housemates reactions!
