Day 38 - BIG BROTHER 29/05/2006
DAILY SHOW

We open tonight with Danielle and John in the Rewards Room. They are snuggling in bed. Danielle says she is in an 'affectionate mood' aka horny. John is too but that's not so interesting because John is permanently randy. Eventually, the closest the two get is Danielle putting her arm around him as they go to sleep.

The next morning, David is feeling pensive in the hammock, having been accused of stealing the toothbrushes. He tells Rob that he isn't the toothbrush bandit. He repeats the same to Dino but goes further and says that he's annoyed that the accusations are making him look bad and treated differently by the housemates.

Back in the Rewards Room and John is spooning Danielle. Could this be the start of a new romance? How will Dino react?

When Danielle enters the bedroom, Katie is immediately on the case. She asks if anything went on with John in the Rewards Room. Danielle says no but gets worried when Katie reveals that the boys have been talking about Danielle alot. Katie refuses to say what they've said but assures Danielle that 'it's nothing bad'.

It would appear that John and Danielle are hot property in terms of news in the house. Michael is next to interrogate Danielle about whether her and John spooned last night. Danielle is coy however Michael plays it up and confirms, in his mind anyway (and we all know that Michael the Genius is the only person that matters) that something did happen.

Dino, who has been listening to this conversation, is contemplative. Once Danielle leaves the bedroom, Katie assures him he has nothing to worry about.

Dino says he's not worried but we all know he is. He whinges about Danielle talking to other housemates about their relationship. It 'makes it harder' for him to make a move he says..

Katie tells him he thinks too much. Dino disagrees and says that he doesn't like being told what to do by a girl. He finishes by saying he's not fussed if nothing happens with Danielle.

It's time for the eviction of Michael, much to the pleasure of Krystal who hugs Camilla and John joyously. Krystal talks about how not getting voted out means people want you there. Mmm, maybe not. Often, it just means there was a bigger target or someone that the public wanted out more. Krystal needs to be quiet. Her brains don't work good.

It's time for Michael's farewell video and, like Michael's whole time in the house, he uses it as an opportunity to spout crackpot theories and make himself look intelligent. Highlights included:

* Gaelan is 'an absolute threat'.

* Krystal is another 'extreme threat'. He tells her that looks aren't everything and that, when she gets old, there will be other 18/19 year olds to replace her. It's nasty stuff. True though.

* Rob is the final threat according to Michael. He talks about his erratic moods.

* He tells Jade to 'try to integrate yourself in the group'.

* David has been a 'huge support' but he advises him to play the game.

Michael ends his War and Peace Goodbye message by blathering on about how big a personality he was in the house and how they should all appreciate him. Sheesh, enough already. The man has serious narcissistic tendencies.

Before he signs off, he says that the toothbrushes were hidden by someone who is still in the house. This sends the housemates crazy. The turn the bedroom upside down but find nothing.

Jade is in the Diary Room. She says that Michael ruined any opportunity for her to connect with the girls. She starts to cry (so much for she who said she hated girls crying). She's upset that she is going to suffer because of Michael.

Outside in the kitchen, she makes a comment so vindictive that Danielle actually says something. I'm not kidding. Danielle actually opened her mouth and said something. Danielle says she takes criticism of Michael personally because she considers him a friend. Idiot. He stole your toothbrush and lied about it.

David is mulling over the toothbrush theft. Dino approaches him and says he hopes David won't hold a grudge against him for accusing him of stealing them. David says he won't hold a grudge but that it does make him think.

Dino finally confesses that he finds David's behaviour odd from time to time. Somehow they get onto the subject of Michael. Dino says that, if it's proven that Michael stole the toothbrushes, he won't be friends with him. I bet Michael is real sad about that.

We finish off tonight's episode with a pash fest extravaganza. Krystal and Gaelan, Dino and Danielle, and Jamie and Katie are all pashing under the covers.

LIVE NOMINATIONS

Gretel talks about Michael leaving, before showing the house footage of Michael stealing the toothbrushes. John and Dino are shell shocked by the news that their buddy actually stole the toothbrushes.

No harm done. BB, obviously scared of having green toothed housemates on live television, has put $1 toothbrushes in the shop, resulting in all housemates now having new brushes and clean teeth.

Ashley

2pts: Camilla - 'always complaining about everything'.

1pt: Jade - 'she told everyone in the house how to run the house'.

David

2pts: Dino - makes him 'feel uncomfortable', 'over-competitive', doesn't like that he talks behind his back.

1pt: Krystal - attitude has been mixed, 'confusing and fake'.

Camilla

2pts: Jade - 'least like to live with'. She doesn't like Jade giving orders. 'She doesn't stand by her convictions'.

1pt: Dino - insensitive, 'trickery'.

Rob

2pts: Dino - 'overcompetitive nature', he didn't like being ridden like a toy pony.

1pt: Krystal - 'overly nice, no warmth'.

Katie

2pts: Gaelan - very domineering and controlling.

1pt: Krystal - 'she's really vain'. She doesn't like that Krystal is constantly doing her makeup.

John

2pts: Rob - 'not very comfortable', 'fake'

1pt: Camilla - 'has to put her opinion on everything'.

Danielle

2pts: Jade - 'personality is quite irritating'. She gets bored when talking to her. Now that must be some conversation if Danielle, the walking dead, is bored.

1pt: Ashley - 'doesn't have much respect for anyone elses property'.

Michael is on stage with Gretel. Michael says that him and David did not kiss but that 'it was great editing by BB'. He gets narky with Gretel when she calls him on the editing remark and tells her to let him finish what he's saying.

Gretel then goes postal on him. She tells him off and then invites him to talk without interruption. It's a smackdown of mammoth proportions. Go Gretski. Take the little **** boy down and beat him like a rented mule.

He says nothing happened like what has been portrayed. 'What was the point of that' he asks Gretel, in relation to why she raised the issue in the first place. She advises him to 'look at the footage' before he speaks.

Michael needs to get over himself. His ego is so bruised at none of us understanding his brilliant plan that he has truly gone insane. He is angry, belligerent and nonsensical. Can BB just write him off as a mistake?

Dino

2pts: Jade - 'completely can't get along with her'.

1pt: Camilla - he says she has redemmed herself for him (wow, she must be so proud about that, not pulling her weight around the house.

Claire

2pts: Dino - 'don't feel 100% comfortable around'. 'Talks down to women in the house'.

1pt: David - doesn't know about David as a person.

Jamie

2pts: David - 'controlling', 'condescending', 'an inflated sense of self-importance'.

1pt:Jade - 'irritating', 'domineering'

Gaelan

2pts: Jade - hasn't tried to get to know the housemates.

1pt: Camilla - bit of a drama queen.

Krystal

2pts: Jade - come into the house with an attitude. To be honest, Krystal is making absolutely no sense.

1pt: Dino - arrogant, 'he judges me'.

Jade

2pts: Krystal - superficial, 'places alot of emphasis on how she looks'

1pt: Dino - 'speaks to me with condescension'.

It's time for the first nomination announcement. The housemates up for eviction are: Jade, Dino, Krystal, Camilla.

Gretel apologises for earlier in the show but defends herself by saying that she gets offended by peoples' accusations towards BB. She asks if he has anything to say. He doesn't. It's beautiful television.

It's time for the nomination twist. Danielle chooses to take the three points off Krystal. She then changes her mind and says Jade. Then changes her mind back to Krystal because 'she's been amazing to me'.

Before we find out though the final nominations, it's time for the under the radar vote. The housemates up for this special vote are: Gaelan, Ashley, John, Claire, Krystal. There will be 24 hours to vote after which the nominees will be announced.

BB tells the housemates that the nominees have changed. BB informs them that they are about to change again. 'Some of you have not been honest'. He tells them that the public will vote on who is attempting to fly under the radar. Their names will be added to this week's nominees.

The house has gone crazy. John unfortunate Tourette's Syndrome means he's jerking around like a brown berry Peter Garrett.

We end tonight's show with the footage of Michael and David together. It truly is nothing of note. And Michael has clearly been talking nonsense about editing. He should have known better to go up against the Black Widow. No-one tries to smack down Gretski and leaves unscathed.

Day 39 - BIG BROTHER 30/05/2006
DAILY SHOW / NOMINATION ANNOUNCEMENT

Tonight we open with Gretel, Head Lecturer at Clown College. Not only is she still wearing her clown pants after a hard day's work teaching people to ride unicycles, but she appears to have tipped a bucket of grease over her head as part of the comedy routine. Seriously, who let her out of the dressing room looking like that?

She announces that, in the Under the Radar vote, Krystal is predictably leading. Letting us know this information is a poorly veiled attempt to get people excited and voting more. It's just money-making craziness. Now where did I put my mobile phone. Text J-O-H-N to 19 10 10.

We then get on with the Daily Show. It's the morning after the pash fest of the night before. Danielle reveals that Dino, ever the Prince Charming and lover and respecter of women, got her to kiss him by barking 'Turn around' at her in bed. I bet he's never alone on Valentine's Day.

It's shopping day and top of the list of things to buy are toothbrushes. Dino takes David in to assist with the shopping, which they must do in five minutes. David rushes around crazily and drops a bottle of sauce. They finish up not having spent the entire budget.

The housemates have been banished from the house as BB sets up the house for this week's task. In the hammocks, David and Rob are perving on the male housemates. Both agree that they find Dino attractive. Rob mysteriously finds Ashley attractive. What is it about the farty little bean that is Ashley that makes him so attractive?

The housemates are allowed back in the house, however they must stay on the blue side of the bedroom while Krystal reads out details of the Lords and Ladies of the Manor weekly task. This week, they are going to learn about etiquette, deportment and good manners.

They decide to wager 50% of the shopping budget even though some of them are not entirely sure of what walking properly means. Claire has to explain the details which is kind of like Pauline Hanson talking about the wonderful contribution of Asians to Australia. IT DOESN'T WORK.

Also in this week's task, the boys and girls will be divided into separate bedrooms. The boys must enter the girls' room by invitation only. The girls end up inviting Gaelan, David, Rob and Ashley, leaving Dino, Jamie and John on the outer. Dino quickly assesses that those who were asked in were 'gay, adorable or sexy'.

Krystal, Camilla and Claire are talking about Danielle and her relationship with Dino and John. Claire says that Danielle needs to be careful of the love triangle that is developing. Krystal reckons that Danielle doesn't know what it is that she likes about Dino (we don't know either but that's beside the point). I once felt the same way about fluorescent socks but I got over it quick enough.

Katie and Jamie are somewhat disturbed by the new sleeping arrangements and want to know if they can have sleepovers. BB asks if ladies have sleepovers. Katie says 'Naughty ladies yes'.

In the end, they decide against jeapordising the task for a bit of rumpty pumpty and agree to sleep separately.

Queen Dino is bitching to Camilla about Michael's pranks in the house. 'If it turns out that he was [the toothbrush thief], then it's not cool with me'. He then reveals that Camilla is 'real' with him as opposed to other housemates. If real is supposed to be reflective of Camilla's face, then that's a reality I could do without.

Meanwhile, Dino's love interest, Danielle, is gushing to Krystal, Claire, Jade and Katie about how kissing Dino was worth the wait. Krystal warns her though that if she doesn't like him, she's giving him false hope. I would think that's the best Dino could hope for. Who else would tolerate a mysoginist piglet like him otherwise?

Talk turns to Krystal's relationship with Gaelan. Krystal likes that Gaelan is immature despite that fact that, in any other universe, immaturity is not a positive in a relationship. She then goes on to say 'We've had a couple of good conversations'. Probably about Tonka Trunks. Yep definitely about Tonka Trucks.

In the bedroom, Jade is lecturing the other housemates as to her personality. 'I'm going to be myself' which is unfortunate, given that Jade's personality is, without question, the type to make people commit physical assaults. Don't you just want to smack her up what good?

Her diatribe is interrupted by Camilla catching John and Dino eavesdropping at the bedroom door. Thank Christ for that.

John and Dino, having been caught out, settle down to talk about Danielle. John asks Dino what happened the night before. Dino starts to talk but then catches himself and, using the excuse of the task, says it would not be gentlemanly of him to boast.

Later, Claire talks to John about his feelings for Danielle. It's a painful, winding conversation. Ultimately, though, we find out that John indeed likes Danielle.

In the bedroom, David asks Jade what has annoyed her this week. As is Jade's way, a straight answer is not forthcoming. I stopped listening but I did catch that Dino doesn't talk to her.

We see the announcement by BB that housemates will be voted by the public to undergo an Under the Radar vote. The housemates are perturbed but none more so than Jamie. He says the vote is not fair. I wonder why Jamie is bothering with pants if he isn't going to wear them around his nether regions. Just go without I say.

John and Camilla are debriefing. John is concerned that, whoever gets picks as the Under the Radar vote will be at greater risk of being voted out. I don't know why John is worried. If he's not flying under the radar, then he won't be voted in. If he is, well bear the consequences matey and get more exciting.

Katie too is worried about the vote. Krystal, who does not appear to truly understand the mechanics of this game says that it's a good thing not to be nominated, not realising that lack of nomination is often an indication of under the radar behaviour.

The harps sound in the house, meaning that all the housemates must run to a heart in the garden and engage in a group hug.

The housemates are talking about the lie risk detector. Jamie is worried that he might have been less than honest. Katie says she would still love Jamie if he had acne. We're at DefCon1 people. Love overcomes acne.

Dino and Danielle are talking in the bedroom. Dino is wearing Danielle's headband. When he starts wearing her knickers, then I'll worry. 'Tell me more about me' he says. She then proceeds to talk about how intimidated she was by him at first but not now.

Jamie is still disturbed and goes into the diary room. He says that he's taking his relationship with Katie day by day and is 'becoming more and more sure about' it. He is worried though that he's come across as tentative and unsure. 'I don't want her to think that I've been dishonest'.What is bothering Jamie so much? Only the headband holding his brains in knows.

Boredom has set in. John dares Dino to go into the garden without his microphone and yell 'Come and get me BB'. Dino obliges and not only cops a $5000 fine but is called to the diary room. BB lectures him about deliberately breaking the rules and then says 'this matter is not over'.

Krystal and Gaelan are pashing. Krystal reminds Gaelan that they have to kiss silently, forgetting that 10 or so housemates are the least of their problems when thousands are watching them on TV. Has Krystal's brain been evicted because she's been coming out with some crank-induced remarks lately.

Jamie and Katie are talking. Jamie says that Katie doesn't trust him and doesn't see a future with him. Katie assures him that, while she does have trust issues, she's never trusted a guy like she's trusted him. Jamie says 'I would choose you over the money'.

It's time to announce the nominations to the house. Strangely, Danielle is scrubbing Krystal's feet. It's a bit of reality I don't need.

The nominees for this week are: Dino, Jade, Camilla, Krystal, John. But that's not quite all. This week is a double eviction.

We end tonight's show with John's Tourette's Syndrome going ape. He is angry at being nominated. It's the only emotion we're likely to see out of John. Vote him out this week and spare us having to sit through any more weeks of his twitches, and his sister and her twirly chair obsession.

DAY 40 - BIG BROTHER 31/05/2006
DAILY SHOW

It's early morning and Dino is called to the Diary Room. BB reminds him that he intentionally breached a house rule in not wearing a microphone. Not only can he not speak to any other housemate until further notice, he also has to match nuts and bolts that are soaking in oil in the Punishment Room.

In the bedroom, David confesses that he quite liked having the girls sleep in another room. Yeah I'll bet.

Meanwhile, Camilla and Krystal are speculating about who Danielle, in using her three point twist, might have taken the points off. Both are in agreement that it was either Krystal or Dino. Why is BB not punishing them for talking about nominations?

After a few hours in the Punishment Room, Dino is relieved of his duties. BB warns him that, if he continues to deliberately break the rules, 'there will be dire consequences'. Like washing Gretel's hair. Dino is contrite and apologises for being naughty.

Outside Dino dares John to end every sentence with an affectionate term (pumpkin, hon, darling) when talking to Danielle. If he doesn't, he must slap himself across the face. This should be good.

BB separates the housemates into boys and girls in order for them to read further information about this week's task. Girls will learn how to walk upright. The boys have to wear bow ties, shave, open doors for ladies, must not fart, swear or burp in the presence of ladies, and part their hair on the left.
Practice begins immediately:

* Ashley struggles with identifying what is left and right. Shut up. Don't laugh. Ok laugh a little then.

* Dino, John and David practise standing up in the presence of females. ?Do I hear someone calling me. Oh not, it's just Camilla' says Dino. Dino needs to treat Camilla with respect or she might rub her face on him.

* The girls walk around with books on their heads in order to encourage good posture.

After practice, the boys make a grand entrance into the lounge with their bow ties and new 'dos. For some reason, they believe that being gentlemen must involve some form of extreme mincing. Rob must be so proud.

In the kitchen, Danielle is talking to John and Jade. John is continuing with the dare of calling Danielle affectionate names, however she picks up on it immediately. He stops in an attempt to deflect attention away but then starts slapping himself, as per the terms of the bet. Dino is wetting himself.

Danielle says 'I'm not just a pretty face, I notice this stuff'. She and some of the other girls decide to wreak revenge on the guys for the bet. Katie suggests stealing the boys' doonas and stashing them in the girls' bedroom. As the guys can't enter without an invitation, they will be without bedding for a while. It's a cunning plan.

Jade is talking to Ashley in the kitchen about she annoys people in the outside world but in the house, no-one has said anything to her. Ashley, diplomatic as ever, tells her that he is treating his time in the house like a holiday.

Camilla decides to stir the pot and asks the boys who stole their doonas. Gaelan, John and Jamie get up immediately to investigate. Discovering that the doonas are in the girls' room, they enter ' without an invitation ' and are immediately called to the diary room by BB.

BB informs them of the rule they have broken and then sets their punishment. They must stand on the deck near the spa and stand to attention until further notice. Jamie smirks leading BB to asking 'Is something amusing you Jamie' Do you care to share the joke'?

'Why are Pirates pirates' Because they arrrrrrre', he replies.

BB says he finds the joke funny. So funny that he wants to hear Jamie tell the joke to Gaelan and John 100 times whilst they are standing on the deck.

Standing out on the deck, the housemates take the opportunity to pelt the naughty three with balls, towels and anything else they can grab. Jade, meanwhile, is in the kitchen cleaning. She doesn't find the afternoon's events very interesting. 'I'm not really that boring. Not my type of fun'.

It's time for the long awaited nomination announcement. This week, we have John, Camilla, Jade, Krystal and Dino up for double eviction. At the mere mention of his name, John cracks the shits. He says he's not going to change himself to 'please them [the audience]'. While his twitching reaches earthquake tremor levels, he says 'I'm not happy. It's like putting someone on death row'. Oh FFS, death row'

It's the aftermath of the nominations. Gaelan and Krystal have a quick pash while Danielle is upset that her 'mates are up for eviction'.

Dino is talking to the male housemates about the three point twist. He admits that 'I'd pick a friend over a fling', but was still hoping that Danielle might have taken the points off him. 'That was my reality check. My ego's not always right'.

Jade tells the female housemates that she's almost a certainty to leave on Sunday night so they better get to know her now. Jade has obviously adopted the approach of 'Well I can't woo them with my personality, I'll get them with the pity vote'. Can BB give Jade something to do please

DAY 41 - BIG BROTHER 01/06/2006
DAILY SHOW

Jade has been called to the Diary Room to receive her latest mission ' Spread the Love - as the new, improved Insider. She is given a buzzer by BB. Whenever she feels the buzzer vibrate she must touch her heart to reveal that she's received the signal. She must then talk to a fellow housemate for at least 30 seconds and, in that conversation, she must say the word 'love' three times (non-consecutively).

If she succeeds in this task, she will be immune from the next public vote. If she fails, she will be automatically up for eviction. I would like to see Jade really rattle some cages by talking about how much she loves her lady bits. 'You know John, I don't know if you've noticed that I love my boobs. I really love them. They are so perky and look so good in my pink pajamas. I love them too'. Can you imagine the mad *** twitching that would result' Oh god, that would be so funny.

David is taking this Lord and Ladies of the Manor task very seriously. He asks the girls if he can help clean their room and, when he is refused, compliments Camilla on the cleanliness of the bedroom. He follows her into the bathroom and asks if he can open doors and lift bin lids for her.

Jamie is in the bathroom too. He grabs Camilla's hand and kisses it (Brave boy. That hand is always on that face touching those evil pimples). 'It's enchanting to be in your presence once again Camilla'.

Outside in the garden, Jade is buzzed by BB. She starts talking to Katie about she loves her stupid stories. She tells Katie that, since she is probably going this week, she's going to tell all the housemates how much she loves them.

David, Rob and Camilla observe that half the house are now involved in relationships with each other.

David Graham Big Brother

Well maybe not for much longer. Jamie and Katie are arguing about absolutely nothing. She tells him that he's too sensitive. Eventually he lies down for a sleep while she wanders off to get a drink. They eventually make up, thereby putting me to sleep for the rest of the night. Could this relationship get any more tedious?

Jade is working her magic on John. She has not taken my advice and is instead complimenting on him being nice to her and 'playing out there honest'. John appears flattered although somewhat confused by the attention. He confides that he can talk to her about anything. 'I'm really touched with what you said before'.

The housemates are in the lounge drinking. Danielle confesses to John that there are three guys in the house she would date on the outside. Dino, Jamie and John. John is excited, resulting in some crazy twitchy mouth movements.

Claire, meanwhile, is sitting on the other side of the lounge watching carefully. She confides to Krystal that the Danielle-Dino-John love triangle is the biggest she's seen. Small world then.

Jade is talking to John about how she gets picked up in bars. She says at least five guys ask for her number a night. And that's on a slow night. Apparently. She wanders over to Danielle and says that she likes John and wants to make out with him.

Danielle responds to this news with maturity. Instead of confessing that she's having conflicting emotions, she drags Victim #1, Dino, into the bedroom where they fall on the bed and start kissing.

It's obviously a theme tonight in the house as all the housemates decide to play Spin the Bottle. Jamie is concerned that, while Katie will be ok with them playing tonight, she will get jealous later on. Dino says he too would get jealous.


First spin and it's Katie and David. Katie faffs about, wondering if it's ok to play. It is, but the kiss ends up brief and uninspiring. Jamie and Krystal kiss however it's just on the cheek. John and Camilla have a full on pash as do Katie and Camilla.

David Graham Big Brother

Jamie wanders off the bathroom, followed closely by Jade. He is worried that Katie will get insecure about him kissing other girls but is also annoyed that Krystal won't talk to him out of deference to Katie.

Rob is talking to Krystal and Gaelan in the kitchen. He says he hopes they can make their relationship work outside of the house. Krystal confides that Gaelan's mum sounds scary. Well if she looks like Gaelan, then I too would be scared of Old Mother Lizard Face.

Gaelan reassures her that his mother is lovely. As long as Krystal brings nice tasty insects to eat and a flat rock to put out in the son, I'm sure they'll get along fine.

Danielle is in the bedroom with John and admits that she likes him. She reveals she got jealous when he kissed Camilla. John is noble when he says he won't cut Dino's lunch. She apologises to him. John appreciates her honesty.

Claire and Dino interrupt the beautiful moment. Dino knows the conversation about him but jokes 'Claire, do you want to leave the room because this is obviously about you'. Yes people, I laughed at something Dino said. It was actually funny. I know, I'm confused too.

Danielle, Claire and Krystal are talking in the bedroom. Danielle reveals her confusion about John and Dino. She admits that she doesn't have the connection with Dino that she does with John.

And so, Danielle and John end up together again talking. 'Let's resolve it and forget about it' she says. John emphasizes that he won't do anything and advises her to wait until Sunday because it might change everything.

DAY 45 - BIG BROTHER 05/06/2006
DAILY SHOW

Last night Dino and Danielle took their nightly game of Doctors and Nurses to a new gynecological level. The reaction of the house, for whom excitement revolves around Gaelan making lizard faces at everyone (oh, hang on, that's just his normal face, sorry), is, as to be expected, intense.

Camilla helpfully informs Dino that she made fun of the pashing session. However, since noone listens to Camilla, the remark went unheard ' both last night and this morning. Krystal, meanwhile, is too busy cramming her loose puppies into yet another ill-fitting top.

David says that he saw Danielle put her hands down Dino's pants, a charge that Danielle denies vehemently. Krystal, having completed the mammoth job of containing her wild wahooblies confirms that she saw them 'making out heavily'.

In the kitchen, it is clear that Dino has some buyer's remorse over the previous night. He gets cranky with the housemates' constant probing and wanders outside to have a snooze on a deckchair.

When Danielle enters the kitchen, Rob advises Danielle to speak to Dino because he needs 'emotional counseling'. Apparently, this assessment by Rob is wrong as, when Danielle goes out to talk to Dino, he is dismissive and cold. 'He'll get over it' she tells the others.

Katie cleverly observes that there are now three couples in the house. Such information does not sit well with Camilla who informs everyone that she hates 'domesticated people'. She also throws in another quick bitch about Dino and Danielle not being suited.

Danielle approaches Dino in the kitchen and tells him that David is just a stirrer. When she wanders off, Rob advises Dino to have faith in himself and 'relax and rock n' roll'. Whatever the hell that means.

[I missed the next five minutes due to my little one teething and needing cuddles before bed. Sorry].

Danielle is crying in the bedroom over Dino being a pig. The girls ask if he's apologized but he hasn't. The girls all agree that he's a 'bastard'.

In the kitchen, Jamie is wearing a stripy sock on his arm. He whinges about Rob helping him with the cooking. Because, like, being helpful is so annoying and irritating dude. Better to be John and add nothing but twitches and squeaks. Now that's contributing

It's time for the Double Eviction. The first housemate to go is Jade. No-one cares.

While the housemates wait for the next eviction, Danielle confesses to David that it is Dino that she cares about. Oh what a shame then that Dino is the next evicted housemate. As he leaves the house, Ashley picks his nose.

Danielle immediately starts crying. Krystal, drawing upon long learnt school lessons of Skankography, tells her that Dino leaving will 'help make up her mind' about John. F*ck me Krystal, this isn't like buying a puppy.

Jamie starts crying in a most unmanly like fashion and is comforted by Katie. He starts to spurt boogers and sob. Geez, can we get some perspective in the house?

John tries to comfort him. I'm not sure if John can do anything but I'm sure if he put his twitches into overdrive, at least we would be entertained, even if Jamie isn't.

Jamie then throws a tantrum and kicks the furniture. He wanders into the kitchen to help Rob with the cooking but then storms off to the bathroom to cry some more. Someone slap this buffoon. Seriously. He's giving me the shits.

Camilla is sitting in the bedroom. SHUT YOUR GODDAMN LEGS CAMILLA. She asks Danielle if she's ok. Danielle is ok, thanks to Krystal's pep talk about every cloud having a silver lining.

Rob interrupts to get Jamie's help with dinner. Jamie agrees but he's not happy at being told what to do.

John and Danielle meet up in the girls' room. He asks if she's ok with Dino leaving. I don't know what Danielle says but surely there is medication for what John's mouth does'

It's time for the farewell messages. Jade talks a lot but no-one is really interested. Jamie, in particular, appears lost in his Own Private I'd-a-Ho called Katie. He is missing Dino and is scared of Katie's poly-filler laden face.

It's time for Dino's message. He advises David to forget about morals and principles. Well Dino abandoned his when he signed up for the Joan Collins School of Bitching and look where it got him? He wants to catch up with Danielle outside the house. Jamie is 'the ideal housemate'. If ideal means boring drone, then Jamie is indeed the perfect housemate.

Jamie is out in the gym. He whinges to John that he doesn't fit into the house anymore. Both him and John agree that, on the outside, they and Dino would be hugely popular. Ok. They really need some perspective if they think they are popular in any way, shape or form.

In honour of their dearly departed mate, Dino, they start bitching about Rob and David. Jamie doesn't trust Rob and feels that David belittles him.

John sums up his time in the house by saying that, Dino said everything John wanted to say. That's our boy John. The perfectly boring yes man.

Meanwhile, Rob and David are having their own bitch session. They believe that Jamie is not sincere about his sadness over Dino leaving.

And so ends tonight's show. Can we have an all points bulletin on Gaelan, Ashley and Krystal. Are they still in the house'

1pt: Camilla ' doesn't 'love her grumpiness in the morning'.

Gaelan

2pts: Camilla ' it's all about the stolen lollies again.

1pt: Danielle ' doesn't get along with her, 'doesn't have a personality I take a great liking to'. As opposed to Krystal who doesn't even have a personality.

John

I think John should be allowed more time to nominate. He twitches for a good minute of the two minutes. It's not fair.

2pts: Rob ' tries to dictate the direction of the group.

1pt: David ' pushes his morals on everyone.

John is nominating like a good yes man should. Well done John.

Krystal

Krystal made a pledge not wear makeup for a while. I guess that was shortlived

2pts: Rob ' domineering and bossy

1pt: Katie ' inconsiderate, messy, gets jealous when Krystal talks to Jamie.

Rob

2pts: Katie ' has to step over her stuff, shouldn't treat the house like a 'holiday resort'.

1pt: Jamie - $10000 worth of fine, 'lost money is an embarrassment to the house'.

I wish they could all nominate like Rob. Clear, concise and to the point.

Jamie

2pts: Rob ' insincere, can't trust him. Coincidentally, Jamie used the same words to describe Michael. Does Jamie have an original thought?

1pt: David ' threat to him strategically

David

2pts: John - $15000 in fines, not taking shopping budget seriously, irresponsible.

1pt: Danielle ' grotty

Danielle

2pts: Camilla ' interrupts conversations in order to cause conflict

1pt: Ashley ' wrote his name using Dani's shaving cream. Shut up. It's the little things.

Claire

2pts: Gaelan - bossy

1pt: Ashley ' reserved and distant, he also makes spontaneous noises.

It's time for the first nomination announcement. The housemates up for eviction are: Camilla, Danielle, Rob.

Katie exercises the three point twist. Based on her nominations, you would think that she would pick Danielle but no she chooses to Camilla in order to 'give her a break'.Yeah right.

The three point twist is rendered mute. The same three are up for nomination.

Day 46 to 54

Extracts from: http://www.behindbigbrother.com/recaps.php

Day 46

7:34pm: The weekly family dinner is upon us again. Jamie reads the next question, "Are housemates becoming too picky about how food is prepared in the house?" Camilla says that everyone has been having a go at her because she wanted to make some chick pea patties earlier. Camilla tells them all that they were making her life a bit difficult. David takes offence to this, saying he has been looking forward to the patties since he got here. Camilla says she was just making a joke. David goes further saying that he felt that the finger was being pointed at him, but he says he's not going to mention anything more about it. Other housemates feel a bit of tension in the air, and try to calm everyone down with Katie saying that the chef likes preparing meals and to put in your request to him. David continues however. He says he wants a vote on whether the majority of housemates should wait till the others have finished their daily meals before clearing the table. Jamie agrees with this, saying it must just be the way they were raised. He says if the vote doesn't go the way they want, Dave and he can have lunch together everyday. The vote goes ahead, and it's decided that all housemates should try to wait till everyone is finished before clearing the table. As they "clear the table", Katie tells David that he's just too polite.

8:41pm: Jamie and David are in the gym. Jamie is worried as Katie just told him that he is too polite sometimes. Jamie goes onto say that if he bought his girlfriend home for dinner one night he expects the person to be polite at the table. David completely agrees.

In the bedroom Rob and Dave are talking. Rob wonders what he can do, or stop doing to prevent being nominated. Dave thinks that bitching is not always needed, but he should try to minimise it. Rob says thanks. Rob tells him he is beyond his years in this house. Dave knows, but says he would be friends with himself. Dave asks if he would be friends with himself. Rob says that he would be wary.

Day 47

9.27am - David is leading the aerobics this morning. Some of the moves include "sheer the sheep", "milk the cow" and "lay the egg". Again Ashley is jumping around for amusement, and needs to be brought into line by David. Its not long before the housemates are exhausted, and David leads them through some breathing before wishing Danielle happy 19th birthday.

Later in the night Camilla and David continue their tiff about whether its right to stockpile food. They exchange bickering.

David: If you're sick and tired of polite people, I'm sick and tired of being polite.

Camilla says David was the one who started it. Claire reminds them who is housekeeper tonight (Krystal).

David tells John he's an admirable gentleman about the Danielle issue. After John leaves the living room, David tells Danielle that John is very attracted to her - and he's a gentleman - he chose the best possible path for all of you.

Danielle: With all due respect I'm nobody's lunch... nobody's lunch.

David: Good on you

Danielle: Thanks Dave

David Graham Big Brother

(Later Danielle in Punish Room) The blind to the punishment room opens and John says its really harsh. Rob jumps up at the glass and starts yelling "look! they're dentures!". He's obviously drunk. Jamie, David, Camilla and Rob go to the diary room to ask if they can take Danielle's place so she can have her birthday with her friends. BB says that Danielle broke the rules, it wouldn't be fair if they swapped.

11.41pm - Danielle continues. David is annoyed Rob didn't support their cause to take Danielle's place, and lets his thoughts known to Rob in the bedroom. Rob says David has a habit of digging his own grave and he was there to stop it, and he doesn't want David blowing off hot steam at everyone. David says he was making them feel bad that Rob was belittling his cause. Rob says Danielle can look back and have a giggle about it.

Rob: Was what I did wrong?

David: Unequivably, from my point of view, it was wrong.

Rob: Ok we'll just leave it like that then

David: Well I'm going to say to you, please, if I'm going into the diary room and you don.t agree with what.s being said, just don.t agree with it so loudly.

Rob: You can do whatever you want darling, I'll let you be when you go anywhere near the diary room.

David: Thank you.

Rob goes into the bathroom. David is left on his own and looks a bit flustered. Danielle seems not too bothered about her punishment, telling her "darling" dentures to have a bath.

Later in the bedroom Rob talks to Camilla about what happened earlier:

Rob: It's a 19 year old's birthday in the Big Brother house. She's not going up for capital punishment. She'll have a laugh and a giggle about it later. And if Big Brother wants to negotiate he would only be belittling himself and his authority, and if it was outside of the house the law would dictate the same. Respect the fact that rules and regulations have been put into place. Mother Teresa (David) wants to go and make a big heroic thing out of it. I'm not going to sit back and do nothing and then wait till be voted to come in... but when you offer your own reputation for some one else's purely for the good heartedness of it, you'll end up in life being chewed up and spat out.

Camilla says its like David does it out of martyrdom.

Big Brother releases Danielle from the punishment room. She says she was quite proud of her scrubbing job.

Camilla and Rob continue: Camilla used to love David but now she is annoyed by him. Rob says he's being a bitch and David is making him feel bad for it. Rob adds that David is trying to be the Mother Teresa for the gay world, but it.s not going to happen - "he can't save the world". Camilla agrees.

Day 51

12.53pm - Camilla and Katie are in the bedroom. Katie explains she is worried about nominations - she thinks she will be up this week. "Oh well... nothing you can do". The two of them lie together and Camilla has noticed the house is getting smaller but there are groups forming. Camilla and David have drifted apart and Rob has taken his place. She feels she can't vent with David anymore because he struggles trying to see her point of view. Rob joins the girls on the bed. Camilla thinks there are people in the house she can't live with. Rob jokes she can't live with that girl Katie - well maybe not so jokingly - he says her mess is driving him mad. Katie acknowledges she is quite messy. Rob asks her to dress up a little more in the house. Katie totally agrees she has to nip this in the ass - "no mess, no mess!".

Outside Jamie says he's getting very stressed in the house. Krystal and John don't think so - they see the Big Brother house as a holiday.

Camilla and David are cleaning up in the bathroom. Ashley has been irritating David big time because of his antics which result in breakages. He also thinks Ashley is hypocritical because he complains about childishness but then does it himself. David will definitely talk to both Ashley and Katie about this problem.

3.19pm - The boys are playing cricket in the backyard with makeshift items such as a pillow and ornamental ball. Camilla and David have been told to cut the grass in the backyard with nail clippers as punishment for Camilla helping David with his cleaning task (only he may do it). They comment to each other they are concerned about where the makeshift cricket ball is going to end up. Just as they say this the ball is hit very close to them, and they duck down. Jamie comes over and they tell him they are worried about the ball. David is more confronting - he asks why Jamie keeps on going with his antics which keep breaking things in the house. He has struggled to understand why the boys have no respect for property and just keep going with it. David says it.s something you can get away with when you are a child because you don't understand the value of property, but the housemates are old enough now to comprehend it.

Jamie asks if this is a personal thing - but David replies he's asking Jamie now because Jamie is right in front of him. Jamie says there is a risk factor, and the factor makes it funny. Jamie doesn't see the risk being too great in the Big Brother house.
8.30pm - The nominees this week are David, Ashley, Katie and Jamie. The nominees laugh and Camilla exclaims how glad she is, and then apologises but is just happy for one week she doesn't have to worry about being nominated. David is called to the diary room. He picks Ashley because he's a decent person and David has appreciated that and prefers to see him stay as possible. BB asks why he isn't taking the points off himself. David replies only a jerk would do that. The new nominees are David, Jamie and Katie. Katie is shocked. Ashley asks why David took the points of him. Katie adds it was so nice. Krystal says he is full of surprises.

Ashley goes outside and is upset David didn't take the points off himself. This is because Ashley nominated David for 1 point. Gaelan comes over and tells Ashley that David just wants to leave the house. Ashley is obviously upset, and gets teary-eyed. "Words couldn't express how much gratitude I have for him... I feel like a dog". Ashley goes back inside and thanks David again, but wonders why David did what he did. David says he will find out when he eventually leaves the house; they can't talk about it now.

Katie and Jamie are in the bathroom. Katie says she doesn't really have a problem with being nominated but can't look the other housemates in the eye any more. Jamie doesn't know what to think, he is obviously disappointed about being nominated.

8.41pm - Jamie, Katie and John are in the spa. Jamie is very annoyed and says that Camilla Rob and David are grouping together and are the main cause of them being nominated. John says at this point of the game it.s easy to vote strategically. Katie says she knows exactly her reasons for being nominated - her messiness and she just isn't fitting in at the moment. Katie says there are two sides going on in the house now. Jamie says he's tried to get along with Rob but it just doesn't happen. He says Rob's character is very sneaky and a bitchy person. Jamie knows Rob nominated him because Rob couldn't look at him afterwards.

Jamie says there are three groups - them, the girls and the gays. The girls and the gays have banded together according to Jamie to vote out their group. John was suss about Claire. Big Brother calls all three of them to the diary room. Meanwhile in the sauna Gaelan and Ashley wonder why they are getting in trouble. To pass the time they start air guitaring and banging the water bucket as a drum.

.

11.59pm - David asks Katie and Jamie about their nominations. They both thought they'd be up. Jamie says Gaelan and Ashley have sorta been off on their own and if there are people in their group people would have picked on it would have been Jamie and Katie. Katie begins talking about how she thinks she was nominated because of her uncleanliness. Big Brother interrupts and fines Katie for discussing possible nomination reasons.

Katie: Drilled, so drilled! This has been a great night.

BB then fines Jamie. He doesn't seem to care. Katie recaps: a nomination, a strike and a $5000 fine each in one night.

Katie: This has been the best night of my life!

Gaelan comments in the bedroom the couple must be taking their nomination pretty harsh and spiteful if these strikes and fines are happening. Claire says it shows the lack of maturity levels.

David: Cheeky little bastards.

Day 54

Rob and David are having a chat in the bedroom. Rob asks how long David expects to be in the house. David doesn't know. Rob is saying his five weeks in the house feel like forever - every single minute is chewing him up. David knows what he's talking about, and wonders if he'll leave a hole in the house. Rob says he definitely will. Rob thinks everyone would get uptight. David is starting to think he really doesn't want to go this week. Rob says he should have thought of that earlier (when he took 3 points of Ashley). David says it wouldn't have changed anything if he took the points off himself.

Katie and Ashley are playing a game in the living room where Katie has to "catch" a purple dot on Ashley's boardshorts. They scream and laugh.

David says to Rob he would really like some peace and quiet around the house, but doesn't think it.s possible. While the discussion happens Katie and Ashley run around the bathroom. When they are gone David says it would be really good if Katie left the house - people would change. They are all saying she's a cool chick but they think it would be for the better if she left. Katie and Ashley finally finish their game and apologise to the boys lying in bed for the noise.

Meanwhile the nominated couple are in the sauna. Jamie says he wants to spend lots of time with Katie - if one of them is going does he make it less hard and spend less time with her or does he go all out and hang out with her all the time?

David and Camilla are in the sauna talking about the nominated couple. David says he can't understand them at all. Camilla thought she'd have to comfort Katie today, but didn't. She stands up for what she believes - she is against their behaviour. David wonders why people aren't saying what they think. Camilla says it.s because of Katie - she has proven herself unapproachable, and did have a strong social force behind her in the house, in the past. David says he's much older, but Jamie and Katie have each other so they have an advantage in the house. Camilla says she continues to speak her mind not because she's causing confrontation because she speaks what she believes.

David Graham Big Brother

6.12pm - The housemates have a jumprope outside with the garden hose. David runs through it without jumping, provoking lots of yelling from the other housemates.

Day 55 to 62

Extracts from: http://www.behindbigbrother.com/recaps.php

Day 55

David comes to the diary room. He says there is a sick little side of him that is thinking he knows two really deserving people to go into the rewards room and didn't want Jamie and Katie to go into the rewards room.

10.01pm - John and Claire eat and chat. Claire says she's really comfortable with John and Krystal in the house. However if she needs to have a talk she will go to David, because he always has a story to tell. She can always laugh with Rob, he's hilarious.

Day 56

6.24pm - Big Brother has given the housemates animal costumes.

John is a crocodile
David is a lorrikeet
Camilla is a lobster
Gaelan is a panda

Day 58 Uplate

11:48pm: David is talking to Claire, Jamie there as well. They seem to be talking about a hotel.
12:00am: Claire tells David he might need to masturbate.
David and Rob are talking about holding their penis's.
12:14am: Rob and David talking in the bedroom quietly as others have other conversations either side. I think they are talking about Jamie. They say he feels very attacked. Dave says that Jamie told him that if he has conflict with someone, he moves on and finds a new friend. Rob finds this weak. Rob says his isn't going to tiptoe around him (really hard to recap when vision is not associated with the bloody audio). Dave says that this has to stay between them, then says that Jamie doesn't like the way Rob talks about sex all the time. Rob thanks Dave for telling him, and he respects that! Dave fears that Jamie will leave and everything will fall on a plater for Jamie and he won't learn to be nicer to people for a long time. Rob says that if Jamie doesn't calm down he'll have to say something in front of the whole group. Rob prepares his speech for this occassion now. Rob says he wants to look like the adult and ask him really difficult questions so Jamie comes off looking like a complete wanker. Dave reckons you should always strive to be the better person in life. Rob says he likes taking people down with their own rules, as it's more satisfying. Dave tells Rob 'good luck.' Rob yells out "rewards room" and wakes up Camilla!



12:45am: Fair few people in the main bedroom now preparing to have a pillow fight by the looks of it. Dave jumps on numerous beds. Claire just wants to sit still or something. Lots of laughter. Pillow fight commences between Claire and Dave but doesn't last long.



Claire sits on the bed and looks at the plasma, saying she is waiting for her TV show to start. Dave says they'll wait together. Claire comments on the TV show she is watching, and Krystal joins in. The guys tell her not to play along. Claire still saying her show is boring. Dave tells her to piss off. Camilla and Dave head to the bathroom. Dave is concerned he is running out of toothpaste. Rob is shaving in there as well. Rob complains that Dave is very bitter, and tells him to relax.

Day 59 Uplate

11:38pm: Krystal and Jamie are chatting outside. Dave comes out and they change the topic back to the moths. Krystal wonders when the rain will stop. Dave hopes his farm got this for two straight days. It really is coming down. Krystal says they can always get buffed in the gym. Krystal wonders if Dave will ever cut his hair. Dave says he likes it long, but it'll eventually get cut. Krystal thinks it would look great short, but she says she loves it long too. Krystal says that Katie would've been on Rove tonight. Jamie says that some of the questions would be about him, and he says he finds it weird. Dave reckons Katie will be asked heaps about her wanting her first time to be with Jamie.

11:53pm: Jamie and Dave are still outside. Krystal is still there too. Dave is saying that in every situation in life when you're getting pissed off at something, everyone has to let off steam to somebody else. In here, it looks like bitching Dave says. Krystal says that if someone close to her does something big that pisses her off, she'll forgive them, but it will never be forgotten. She says that in here the slightest thing gets way out of control. Rob says that he has been into BB to request something, and offered to sleep somewhere else, but BB was saying no all along. Uplate update, then back outside. Dave says that everyone in the house has been through heaps. Jamie says that being nominated now isn't a problem, he's over that. He also says he wants to stay.

12:10am: Jamie says that he thinks Camilla looks for controversy. He thinks Krystal doesn't really strive to get into battles. Jamie tells him that he is always evaluating his contribution to the group. Dave asks what he thinks about Rob, but Rob comes out at that moment. Dave wonders if Rob is tired, he says he is. Jamie is worried he's getting a slight off white patch on his legs or something. Rob says he should moisturise. Jamie says he will. Jamie says that this week he hasn't had Katie to run off and sulk this week. Dave says that he thinks Jamie that yesterday and today have been must better than the previous week where he thought he was really down. Jamie says that a lot of stuff was going through his mind last week, and he says that Dave did it so well last week.

12:24am: Jamie is saying that he can't talk to one of the girls in the house. I don't know who he is talking about. Dave says that if everyone took that view the place would be in a bad 'place'. Jamie understands, but says that his positive side tells him that he can always counter an argument, prime example talking to Rob tonight. Jamie says he almost had a breakdown last week, and was over the whole BB experience. Dave says it was frustrating that he couldn't talk to Jamie about it last week because of his moods. Claire says goodnight to the boys. Dave says that last week he felt like he lost a mate last week. Dave says everyone acts in a certain way, and he felt as if he had done something to piss Jamie off, and of course he realises now that it wasn't him. Dave says the thing that hurt him was that Jamie was only concerned completely about himself last week. Jamie agrees completely. Dave says last week he thought heaps of people had stopped talking to because they all thought that he was a goner. Dave says last week he was making massive issues out of nothing. Jamie says it's a great relief to get things off his chest tonight. Comm break.

12:43am: Jamie loves doing stupid shit in front of people, being a class clown type of thing. He says he would love to be a TV presenter, he thinks he would be quick on his feet with lines, comebacks etc. Jamie says that he was glad he was out in the last round for FNL. Dave says that Office FNL theme he was the same, he was totally worried about the stand up comedy part of FNL. Dave says he would never do something like that out in the real world. We head inside to Gaelan, John and Ashley. They are discussing the different jobs in the house, especially the dishes. They say many have complained about the dishes. John says Tilli hated it. He says that Dino gave Elise the housekeeper job so she had to get up early. They all have a laugh. We cut to Rob who seems to be sleeping on the floor for some reason. Back out to the couch. John says that double they all knew Jade would be one of the ones evicted, but otherwise it was wide open. John thought he might be gone. He says that when he was up with Michael and Karen he wasn't too worried. Comm break.

12:59am: Dave has come into chat with Gaelan and Ashley. Dave is talking about climbing a mountain so he could see the entire country. No idea what country he is talking about. John says that it's great because you can see the barriers at the borders of the country. Dave says this countries biggest export is dentures. John and Dave talk about some country flags. They seem to be discussing Angola, I have no idea. Dave just keeps talking about his travels. He says he joked with someone checking his passport over the Australia/Austria joke.

1:15am: Jamie says goodnight to the small bedroom. He heads back out to the living room. Dave is still chatting to the other guys. John says he left Venice after 6 hours and was upset about that. He names heaps of places he didn't go to, and then says he left his passport behind somewhere and was denied entry and had to smuggle a train back to where his passport was. John tells a story how he got 400 Euro's out of the wall at the train station and these guys came along and he was convinced he'd be robbed, but there was one nice guy in their group and he was fine. He says he eventually got back his passport and continued his travelling. Dave talks for a bit about some country. He says he got to Poland and realised that everything was dearer than in Germany. Dave says that he could get a massive meal for $5 in Checz (not even gonna try to spell it).

1:30am: Dave is talking about catching a bus somewhere overseas. He says he travelled with some random guy. They wonder if he was gay, but he says he didn't know, but says he was hot. He had Visa issues in Latvia. Dave says he had no interest in Lithuania. Dave says he was over in Europe for 13 months, and $23,000 all up. He says he worked in Britain a bit as a landscape gardener. He says he had no idea what he was doing but he had 3 people working for him and he had to pave a huge area and put a pond in. He says that as soon as it rained it would've stuffed up completely. He says that he got heaps for doing it, but they soon realised he had no idea what he was doing. John says that all his mates just worked in pubs overseas. Gaelan says that trade jobs overseas are easy to get because they are all crap labourers over in Europe.

1:43am: Gaelan says that he's not too phased about drinking midweek. Jamie talks about a visit to the diary room with someone else and they tried to get more alcohol. Dave seems to have gone into the bedroom. Rob talks to him about how his mum always has gay jokes to tell him, but always is pissing herself laughing and gives away the punchline everytime. Dave wonders whether they have cameras in this room; saying sometimes he thinks they don't have that many. He says they must take them in and out at times. He reckons they would only have 3-4 cameras on the go at once. Rob, sleeping on the floor, says he never sleeps in anything under 4 stars. Rob says the girls are all in bed as per usual. Dave agrees, saying they are boring. They seem to be talking about beer now. Rob like Heineken. Dave likes Coopers. Gaelan comes in to get ready for bed. Dave says he really enjoys XXXX Gold. Gaelan climbs into bed.

1:55am: Back out to the couch. Dave has rejoined the other boys. John says "You see that guy who ate a bike?" He says they cut it into tiny pieces, but it was all metal and all that still. Dave wonders how. He says a Korean guy has eaten 2KG of nails as well. They realise that the lights are out, so they all decide it's bedtime. Most head to the bathroom to get ready for bed. Hardly anyone saying anything. Ashley is a bit concerned of a coldsore he has developed, and apologises that they'll be no kisses tonight for the boys.

Day 60 Uplate

11:21pm: Darren is talking to Claire, Rob, Gaelan and David. Claire tells Darren that before tonight there was only 3 girls in the house left. Dave wonders what Darren thinks of his hair. Ashley and John are also in this conversation. They talk about drugs a bit and most of it is beeped. We cut back to Darren, and we hear "This is Big Brother", but apparently no one else did because everyone keeps talking. Claire and Darren seem to be having a very nice chat about vegetairian diets. Darrren says he's a national geographic man. Claire says thats her dream as well, while she says Krystal is to be on a cover of a girl magazine. Claire says she wants to teach the average person about nature. Claire says that while she is happy to talk about nature etc at anytime with anyone who is willing and interested, but she won't preach to someone who is not interested.

11:33pm: Perry tries to let Lauren know who is single and who is taken. Camilla says she is the only female to have been in a female relationship. Lauren says she would go there but hasn't yet. Claire says that Lauren is in the same boat as her. Someone mentions spin the bottle! Dave says to Perry that he has no idea what way Darren swings. Lauren says that Rob looks really familar, and they finally get a place where both used to frequent. Rob says he used to love the nightclub, but it's gone all R&B now.

11:51pm: Lauren still talking to Rob about Wollongong. Over to Claire and Darren, Dave watches on as the lovefest continues. Darren can't believe that even Dave as a gay man isn't attracted to Claire at all. Dave says he finds her hot, Claire says she is fully attracted to Dave. Krystal comes over and Dave says "you just popped right out there." Darren then says that Krystal is smashed, and she says she is a bit. Krystal and Claire talk about who sleeps with who. Dave tries to get Darren up to speed with the bed situation. Apparently he was going to sleep with Rob, but now they want to change. Rob doesn't seem to happy with all this though. Darren says he doesn't know why he gets on so well with Dave, then says he is very accepting to everyone.

12:05am: Dave is telling Darren about Sheriff, his boyfriend. He says that his dad loved Sheriff. Dave tells Darren that his dad knew he was gay, but no one would say anything. Darren goes to the toilet. Dave says that Lauren might see some similaries between three of the guys who are 26 and her brother, who is 26. Dave says that Perry is the oldest housemate ever to enter BBAU. Lauren wants to know where Dave lives.

12:25am: Camilla, Krystal and Dave are talking about the different jobs they have in here. Dave says he is farmhand and he gets to wake someone up everyday. He explains that people can't volunteer. Camilla explains that Katie was farmhand once and asked John to get up only to be told to F off. John says he didn't realise he said it though. Back with Dave, Rob and Perry, they discuss who is sleeping with who. Perry wants Dave to sleep with her and Rob tonight, but Dave says he is with Claire. Claire and Perry look through the stuff that Perry bought into the house when she entered.

12:36am: Dave says to Lauren that when it rains he is always thinking about the farm. He says that this was going to be his big year farm wise, but he's in here. He says it'll still be there when he gets out though. He tells Lauren that he has 6 horses. Lauren says that her father was a miner so they used to move a lot. They lived in Adelaide, and then PNG. She says she did school via correspondence for a while over in PNG.

12:50am: Dave and Darren are talking in the kitchen. Darren says that Ash is the gentlemen of the house. Lauren and Darren get to know each other now.

1:19am: In the bedroom we are. Dave, Darren, Gaelan and John are talking. Dave teaches the boys about gay sex a bit. The boys wonder whether they should have a pillow fight tonight. Dave tells Darren that he is in the house now, and it's so surreal talking to Gretel. Dave says that Gretel was really nice to him, but was a bit cautious of Gaelan.

1:33am: Back in the 'boys' bedroom, otherwise known as the bigger one. Dave is showing Darren his farm via photos. Dave explains that they lost most of the ducks, but he still has one and it's not being given away. Dave says he is a bit of a hoarder. Darren says that his dad has crap round his house all the time. Darren tells Dave that he really likes Claire. They watch her for a bit. Darren says you can't like everyone in here. Darren wonders who Dave will hang out with outside the house. He says Camilla, Krystal, Jamie, Karen. Darren says he can't see much in Krystal. Darren says that he needs a relationship where he is constantly attracted to the person, even first things in the morning etc. Dave says that he thinks that BB has shown him to be a bit too inquisitive, but he says he can't sit in a house and just give one liners every minute of the day. He says he likes to spend an hour with someone just having an in depth conversation.

Day 62

11.49pm - David has a letter from Big Brother. The rules have changed for tonight's truth or dare - it is now truth AND dare.. they must answer their own truths and take their own dares. Rob is very unhappy and shouts "no!".

David's dare was to tell each housemate four things you dislike about them.

To Darren he says:
- You are too good looking
- You are too straight
- You are too young
- You are too close

Claire:
- You are a vegetarian
- Your competitiveness took away the rewards room from him tonight
- Your attractiveness makes me question myself (the housemates all laugh)
- Your constant birdwatching. Claire laughs, throwing her head back, but she bangs it against a vase right behind her.

Perry:
- You speak way too much
- You don't listen when some one else is speaking, he adds she could have helped her team tonight if she had kept going ... Perry buts in saying "oh grow up for heavens sake I had a bloody go". The housemates all laugh.
- You can't take criticism!

1.22am - David asks Camilla if she thinks the three dislikes he said tonight were less harsh than his real dislikes. She does think so - she thinks he was just saying things to get through it. She thinks he has some more genuine dislikes that he hasn't made public. David comments he really dislikes Claire because she's vegetarian. Camilla repeats that she thinks Claire really should have just gone through with the dare and kissed Krystal.

11.18pm - Darren and David are in the hammocks. Darren can feel that Jamie and John don't like him, and he knows it. David asks how he would deal with it on the outside. Darren says on the outside he wouldn't be friends with them at all. He's only been in the house three days, they should get over it - "I beat them".

Darren asks David how the nominations work on Mondays, and David answers. Darren then asks about the three point twist - David explains the system, but also mentions he took three points off Ashley in the past. Big Brother annouces a $5000 fine. David says "what the hell!?". David says "Big Brother everyone knows it". He is called to the diary room. Inside David is awarded a strike. He doesn't look happy as Big Brother proceeds to tell him off.

Day 62 Uplate

10:57pm: Darren and Dave are talking at the kitchen table. Darren says he wishes he would have been in the house from the word go. Very strange looks between the two. Darren wants to go to the diary room. John and Jamie are wanting to go to the diary room to get more beer. Dave calls out to them that Darren is offering his virginity to get more beer.

Day 64

5.17pm - Darren and David are cooking and measuring ingredients. Perry comes in and tells them what the proportions should be. The phrase "six or one, twelve or nothing" turns the house into confusion... especially Darren who says it doesn't make sense.. and then tries to explain what it means. Perry doesn't want to hear it and they start yelling at each other. Perry tells Darren to behave.

David Graham Big Brother
Darren tells David that Perry never lets people explain things, and it really annoys him. The conversation stops when Perry comes back into the living room to do some cleaning. Darren suggests she could beat the rug outside with the boys, but Perry says no, she won't do that. Darren has had enough and just stops trying to talk to her. David tries to back up Darren but Perry kills the conversation:

10.43pm - Rob's goodbye message is playing. Rob says he learnt a lot from David and hopefully vice versa - he has been taught a very manly quality - to step up to the plate whenever there is a problem. Camilla has welcomed David in and taking him in and befriended him and loved him and put up with his moods. Rob will miss her and the way she ruffles feathers in the house.

Day 66 Uplate

11:42pm: Out at the spa. Jamie, John, David, Camilla and Ashley are there. Talking about farts. Lots of laughs. Jamie mentions a fart when Dino was still in the house. Housemates continue to mention the funniest moments they've had in the house. Dave says that Dani's 'walk' was quite funny. Ashley remembers that he got a fine for doing basically nothing once. Jamie remembers that and laughs as well. Camilla says she was laughing so much one night out the back with Dave, she actually wet herself. David says that Big Brother made him laugh heaps one day in the diary room asking to put a topic in the Wednesday dinner topics.

Camilla says that she thinks she doesn't start confrontations, but rather she bites. She says she doesn't really have anyone to fight with in here though. Dave wonders whether Perry makes her bite and perhaps Camilla doesn't want to take her on. Camilla says she is happy to take her on. Camilla takes a cold shower because she is so hot. Back outside now.

12:44am: In the bedroom with Dave and Perry. Perry says she is not missing the phone at all. Dave says he hates it, the phone. Dave says that this experience lets you re assess what you want out of life. Dave says he'll be much more focused when he gets out of here. He says that this has been the best thinking time for him. Perry says that when she gets out of here a lot of crap is going to come out. Jamie and Ash are in the bathroom talking about some movie. Dave comes in and they wonder what BB is doing with the lights still being on. They talk about all the questions they were asked today in the diary room. They talk about this by saying "we're not allowed to discuss those questions are we'"
12:57am: Claire has woken up and is now talking to Perry and Dave in the bedroom. They talk about walkie talkies and how they used to use them. Perry and Dave says that they both still use them at work

Day 72 Uplate

12:09am: Dave, Darren and Claire talking in the bedroom. Darren and Claire talking about an author of a book about Gorilla's. So exciting! And the chat keeps going and going. Dave, lying on Claire's bed, seems to have fallen asleep.

1:06am: Darren and Claire are still having the same, most boring conversation I've ever listened to. They are talking about birds now. Darren says that Claire is a pretty bird. Cut out to the spa. Camilla says that she could live with the people in the house for years. Jamie agrees. Camilla says that Dave and her agree that they could be best friends but never live together. They talk about Claire, and Camilla says she is so happy to have the 2 other girls who she actually really does like.

Dave wakes up kind of and rolls over to his side of the bed. Claire tries to get him to believe he had to go to the punishment room. He doesn't bite and falls back to sleep! Darren resumes his chat with Claire.
Lights are out. Claire and Darren still talking though. They say they will head to bed now and continue the talk in the morning. Darren says they have to pay Dave out. Claire agrees, telling him to remind her.

Day 73 Uplate

11:36pm: Perry is talking to Dave. Perry says he needs to accept himself for who he is.

12:07am: Darren and David are talking about Dave's farm. David says he has 2000 sheep. Darren wonders if that is big in the farming world. He says it's sizable. He says that he started with 70 and has grown it up. Dave explains how you can tell if an animal is sick. Talk about organic products now. Darren says it would be good to harvest kangaroos.

David Graham Big Brother

12:23am: David is talking about farming things, but Perry starts talking about cutting up chickens from a chicken shop before long. They talk about how you have to let chickens die and the blood drain out of them before cutting them up. They are talking about hot air balloons now. Jamie starts asking Dave questions about France and England and wars. Darren joins in a bit. They wonder when Pearl Harbour was after a bit.

Day 74

http://www.big-brother.com.au/big-brother-australia-episode-recaps/t-wednesday-5th-july-2006-daily-show-769.html

Day 74

Perry, David and Claire are in the kitchen. David admits that he is taking nominations harder than normal because he's upset that people haven't confronted him about what behaviours are disturbing them. Little does he know that the only behaviours people don't like are his maturity and wisdom ' not traits you really need to change in my opinion.

An argument resurfaces about David calling BB a game. Perry doesn't agree ' surprise, surprise ' and wants to read the rule book to ascertain whether it is a game. She decides she wants to hear other people's opinions and that 'I need to get my head around it'.

David asks her to listen to him because he's only figured out recently how the house works. Perry says she's listening but you know she's just listening in order to gather fuel for another cannon launch.

Jamie, Krystal and Camilla are in the bedroom. Jamie dislikes that David is focusing on the game. It's obvious that Jamie and Krystal become uncomfortable every time strategy is raised as a discussion point in the house. Maybe it's because those two are the biggest game players in there.

Krystal reckons that David should give Perry slack as she is struggling with being nominated. Krystal should shut up. Maybe she could have given Perry some slack by, er, I don't know, not nominating her perhaps'

Camilla ******* about David, saying that he's too caught up in the game. Camilla is turning out to be quite the big fat stupid turncoat face. She changes allegiances like the wind. As annoying as Perry is, at least she is out there as an ignorant bogan. Camilla's attacks are strategic and smack of passive aggressive behaviour (ie stirs the pot but then acts the victim when called on it ' 'it was just a joke').

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Perry says 'I'm not going to play the game'. It's a comment where you pretend to be saying it to no-one, like a statement of intent, but you're still waiting for others' reactions. When she gets no reaction, she asks David 'Are you listening to me David''

She eventually decides to 'leave it in the hands of the universe'. I don't care where you leave it, Perry, so long as you shut the hell up.

Jamie is trying to help Camilla control her weight. He sets her a challenge that she must exercise until dinner is served. Rather than accept the challenge, she tells David to hurry up with cooking dinner.

After dinner, Camilla and David are talking in the bathroom. He says that he didn't appreciate her comments about hurrying up and that 'I took it a bit bad'. Camilla brushes him off with the usual, 'it was a joke, David' remark.

Camilla reckons that, had someone else made the same remark to her when she was shopper chef, she would not have gotten angry. Not strictly true, Cammy love. When you were shopper chef, you bitched and moaned all week about having to deal with different preferences. Don't pretend you were Mother Theresa.

David is rationally explaining to Camilla his feelings but Camilla, adopting a usual passive aggressive stance, says 'I'm going to walk away'. David persists and says he is tired of being nice to people.

He goes outside for some air. Later, Camilla approaches him and informs him that he suffers from 'anger deferral'. Correct assessment. This argument isn't about Camilla hurrying David up. That was just the trigger. But combine David with someone like Camilla who likes to launch the grenade but then step away and pretend it was nothing to do with her, and you are guaranteed to have fireworks.

David tells Camilla that he will continue to argue with her if she annoys him. She replies to 'bring it on' and that she doesn't like being threatened. But she's apparently content with being turkey slapped and is happy to have John and Ash back. Camilla is a big fat stupid hypocrite sometimes.

She walks off, accusing David of losing it and to 'get ******'. David seems devastated by the exchange, whilst Camilla walks into the bedroom, crying, but also laughing at what she told David. She seems almost proud of herself as she relates to Krystal and Jamie what happened.

And so, a new alliance is born ' Krystal, Jamie and Camilla. Could this spell the end for David' Who knows' At least Perry is quiet. And I think Claire is dead.

Perry then decides to go in for another shot. She accuses David of going on and on and then says he's playing the game. Make up your mind f***head. Last night you denied the game existed but now you're accusing someone of playing it.

'You are wrong' says David. He finds her accusation 'deeply offensive'. He hopes that she realises how bad she has made him feel. Not bloody likely David.

David is brimming with rage at being accused of playing the game. He tells her he is going to leave the house to prove that he's not playing the game. He storms into the diary room and tells BB he wants out.

11:28pm: David is in the diary room asking BB to leave. This was fueled by an argument with Perry in which David exclaimed he didn't want to play the game any longer and threw, or as Perry has stated, ripped off his microphone. Krystal is reassuring Perry and just talking over in the incident with her. Claire is sitting on the couch looking a bit stunned, saying she has never seen this side of David. Perry is saying that it's not in her character to make someone else look bad. Krystal says that she understands her intentions and not to worry. Krystal starts a made up song. Comm break.

11:33pm: Camilla and Darren are having a shower after a sauna. Jamie has entered the kitchen, but not saying much. Perry says that she hopes David is alright. Krystal says she feels for David but she seems not concerned at all that David might well be leaving. She thinks that the guy has born it on himself. Perry seems to agree. Krystal says that she would've taken the news that David thinks that she is playing the game had he told her on her own, and not at the table. Krystal wonders if anyone heard that fart, but they say they didn't. BB tells housemates that their are batteries in the dumbwaiter in the bedroom. No one heard it, so he does it again. Krystal seems very excited that they are getting batteries in a slightly different way. Housemates change their batteries. Comm break.

11:53pm: Jamie is talking about a girlfriend he used to have, and he starts talking about his first ever kiss with a girl. Mike cuts back in. We return to Perry saying she can't sleep. Krystal spirts out "I always wipe my bum no matter what". Perry and someone else are talking about David in the diary room and BB beeps it all out. She again says she is really worried about him. Camilla says that she thinks he's been sensitive the past couple of weeks. Comm break.

12:05am: Krystal and Camilla are chatting about nothing. Darren says he's not a big fan of Kettle chips. Almost everyone else sticks up for them. Perry repeats that she is concerned for David, and she is sad for him being sad. Perry says she didn't mean to get him worked up. She says she gave him the option of talking about it later, not immediately. Camilla says that he walked away from a convo with her yesterday. Camilla and Perry continue to talk about previous times Dave has had a weird reaction to something. Camilla says she is tired. Perry wants to go and talk to BB, but she can't. Comm break.

12:24am: Camilla is saying that Krystal got a conversation she has wanted to come out for a while to come out tonight, so she should forgo her right to seem a little sad. Krystal wonders what Gaelan is doing. Jamie reckons that Katie would be off doing little promo gigs. Jamie reckons she would still be doing that stuff, even though they say it's been a month (no way it's been a month!') Perry tries to get to sleep, and there are goodnight calls all round. Perry hopes that BB doesn't wake them up too early. Seems everyone is in bed. Jamie seems really awake humming, whistling and singing tunes out. Jamie still whistling. God that would be annoying. Comm break.

12:36am: Basically silence in the bedroom. Jamie says it's sleepy time. Darren tells Jamie that he just looked in the mirror. Jamie says he does it all the time! Jamie says he's going to sleep now. Silence. David is in the kitchen. Darren comes out, and he sees him. He wonders if he is alright. Darren tells him the lights are still on.

He goes into the bedroom. Perry gives him a hug. Dave says he really needs to go to the bathroom. Dave apologises. As Dave goes to the toilet and stays in the bathroom, Perry thanks the three of them (Cami, Jamie and Krystal) for their support today. Silence again. Comm break.
