the new season just debuted Sunday. Anyone watching/keeping up with it.? I am bc I saw it last year and loved the Australian edition. It was my BB fix till the US one premiered. This year they hyped the twist as the first ever in any BB and its that two housemates had a special relationship. It turned out that 2 of them are mother and daughter. If they can make it till the next week without being detected then they are free from nominations that week but if they are caught, they are automatically up for eviction. I wonder if anyone will find them out bc they do look alike

The second twist is actually one taken from last year's UK BB. Oneof the housemates was chosen to be an insider and basically will be given missions throughout the week that will make life uncomfortable for the rest of the houseguests. The first mission was to poor a bottle of water on someone's mattress. I thought it was implemented better on the UK BB bc Makosi, the insider, was an outright !@#$%^&*]. It was hilarious...lol

Overall Im liking the houseguests. One thing I have to say is that the en are hot. Uusally theres only a few I find really attractive but these guys look good, especially Jamie, Gaelen, Dino and Ashley. Im rooting for them to stay in a while, especially the first 2. I noticed that they put more girls in the house than guys which is probably wise since the women tend to get picked off first

There's probably going to be no prize money by the time the season is over. In the first 2 days, they've already ranked up $100,000 in penalties! Oh this version of BB gives out penalties for rules broken and thats taken from the million dollar prize.

Cheap! I am totally following it! I'm a BB addict! I downloaded all the daily shows last year; I'm probably not gonna do that until later once the housemates dwindle. That's when it gets more interesting.

I'm enjoying the twists this season. Karen/Krystal, David as an openly gay man back int he closet (well, actually he's out now) and Michael as the insider. It's a good group this year, I think. I disliked most of the guys last year (except Tim) and a lot of the women, too (minus Vesna and Kate). This year, so far so good. I really don't hate anyone - yet.

And yes, it was smart of BB to put in more women. They are ALWAYS picked off. The funny thing last year was that almost all the women were gone and we had like six guys to two girls so they added all these female intruders and then one by one the guys were gone, leaving Greg (who won) and Tim (who was runner up) with like six women. LOL.

But the thing is there would of been even MORE girls this year. There were 16 houseguests, but one girl Gina, got glandular fever and had to back out at the last minute. I assume they might add her as an intruder later on down the road.

I love Aussie and UK BB. So much fun. I love ours too, but it's nice to have those two BB's cause they are so different and fill the void in between.

Oh I hated Tim last year! I thought he was overated and couldnt stand him. My favorite guy was Dean. I know he was a jerk but I liked his personality and how he kept missing eviction desite being nominated every week. I didnt like how Tim nominated him for 2 points every time. I also liked Nelson, Hotdogs and Logan. I cant remember which one was the nice one but I didnt like the one that was mean to Vesna. For the girls, Vesna was my favorite but I also liked Katie, Michelle, and Constance (wish she had stayed longer). I coudlnt stand Rita! She was so annoying.

I cant stand Michael so far. He came off as so arrogant in his pre-interview and looks so slimy. I hope that was all talk, bc Im hoping he's out quick. I didnt care for David in his pre-interview either. They said he was an international model but when I saw him, I was like okay, he doesnt look all that. I dont really have any HG that Im really feeling yet but I'll have to watch abit more. Oh what is up with Elise's eyebrows? She doesnt have any!

What I like about BB Australia is that Big Brother is like an actual houseguests. He's more of a presence in the house and he's so mean to them. The one thing I didnt like and its probably bc of the setting was that there was like no diversity. Everyone was white and they were all young. The oldest one there was 29 and she was treated as being old. It felt like a college frat/sorrority club. I still liked it though. I cant wait for the UK edition to debut bc I really enjoyed it last year and they were better when it came to picking a wide variety of houseguests. They were all different and alot more diverse. Its fun watching 3 editions of the show. Its still BB, but they are different and each have their own twist and way of doing things

I live in Australia and watch BB.

I am wondering if Michael will discover the relationship between Karen and Krystal.

Last year I actually went up to the Gold Coast for a week and was able to get into the BB house, it was amazing to see how small it was compared to the first one and it looks so large on the TV.

Well, Tim was a bit overrated but compared to some other guys, I liked him. Greg and David were okay at times but overall so boring. Glenn was a pig. Michael was horrible. Dean was fun. I did like Dean. I was always laughing when he kept evading eviction.

Rita was okay at first but got really horrible. Christie was okay and I did semi-like Geneva, despite her attitude. And yeah, I wish Constance had lasted longer. I was pissed she and Nelson were taken out. And Kate rocked. I loved her, LOL.

Overall, I like this years group better for some reason. Gaelen and John are boring to me. Claire is too.

And this year the oldest is Karen, at 36. So far only she has really made it an issue.

Sunday night looks like it is going to be interesting. Two evictions one by house mates and not sure on the other. I think that Camilla will be one but not sure of the other.

And Gaelan through in a little bit of a twist last night after the Friday Night Games by saying that he and the chick that he took into the rewards room have a brother/sister relationship after being asked if he would get it on with her. And he said this to Michael.

Not sure if I have photo's of the house as I also had my video camera but I will see if I can find any and post pictures cause I think that my nephew may have photos.

This story appeared in our sunday paper today.

I really don't get the stupidity of some people.

So what if people are different skin color's, support different religon's or have different sexual preference's at the end of the day we all bleed the same color.

Big Brother star bashed

By LUCY CARNE

30apr06

THE Big Brother star who this week tearfully outed himself on TV was the victim of a violent gay bashing that left him bloodied and unconscious.

As this picture reveals, farmer David Graham, 26, who is the early favourite to win the show, paid an almost fatal price for his lifestyle.

The former Melburnian, who now lives in Queensland, was brutally beaten by five men and left for dead in a pool of blood after leaving a popular Brisbane gay nightspot in the early hours of January 22.

He was making his way to his ute parked in a side street when he was set upon by a gang of men throwing rocks and bottles.

The attack is believed to be part of a wave of anti-gay violence.

In an interview several weeks before he entered the Big Brother house, David said he tried unsuccessfully to placate his attackers.

"But before I knew it there were guys behind me and they were just beating the back of my head," he said.

"All I can remember after that is the pain. They absolutely beat the s--- out of me.

"My mate said they just kicked me while I was on the ground until they thought I'd had enough or they were scared they had killed me."

The assault left him with severe bruising across his face and body.

"My whole face was a mess of blood," he said.

"I was taken to the hospital and was in and out of unconscious for two hours.

"If you've been bashed by five guys you would expect there to be some type of internal injuries or brain damage after the kicks I took to the head -- thank God there wasn't."

His sister Linda Graham, 32, of Brisbane, yesterday said the early morning telephone call informing her David had been found bashed in a dark street was "one of the most horrific moments of my life".

"To be called at 4am and told by your friends they've found your little brother unconscious and covered in blood . . . it's horrifying," she said.

But rather than harbour anger or bitterness towards his attackers, she said David had moved forward in life.

"He is incredibly positive and such an intelligent person," she said.

"After the bashing he said 'Hey, things happen, but you could die tomorrow, so why look at the negatives when you can celebrate the positives'."

Linda said David's initial reluctance to reveal his sexual orientation to the nation was his way of breaking down gay stereotypes and putting a realistic face to homosexuality.

HUGE developments!

On Day 8 in the Big Brother Oz house, Karen and Krystal made it a week without being discovered! They revealed their secret to everyone. But what also happened was that TWO people were evicted by the houseguests for being "most annoying." Anna and Camilla were then "evicted" to a revenge room, where they get to partake in torturing their former housemates. The two will re-enter the house on Tuesday night during John's 21st birthday party.

Hee.... I can't wait!

The housemates seemed to be taking the news about Karen and Krystal well. None of them seemed to be really upset except for maybe Michael who is automatically up for eviction next Sunday.

Yes the revenge room was very surprising I wonder how they would go about seeking their revenge.

I don't think that Anna will last to much longer in the house regardless. She may be exempt this week from eviction but there is still the following week.

Both Anna and Camilla have been given the opportunity to change themselves to make them a little more liked, but I don't think Anna will change much.

Yeah. Anna was never well liked. Camilla not so much either.

I don't think Michael will get evicted by the public. He's too entertaining. It will be interesting when nominations happen. This group is a bit hard to read, nominations are always a toss up.

Well, nominations happened!

Tilli, Elise and Ashley were originally nominated, but Gaelen, as Head of House, saved Ashley by removing three points off his tally. This pushed Claire and Dino into the nomination chairs with Tilli and Elise. And Michael is also nominated for his failure to complete the Insider task.

So, according to the unofficial poll on the official website, Elise is leading the vote to who people think will go on Sunday (I agree) with 47%. Michael and Tilli are tied with the next amount (22/23%). Claire and Dino both have 4% (thank god cause I like them most).

And I believe I've heard the first real eviction show of the Season (this Sunday) is actually a double ... interesting. Maybe one nominated houseguest is evicted by the public while a revenge room evictee is truly evicted? Just a guess..

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
