BB in Bali

The BB Bali holiday for 4 HMs seems like a bit of fun. The mockup aeroplane cabin was a good trick rather than just walking through the door. Although it was incredibly fake (and good on BB for showing the HMs making fun of it all in the Daily Show), it added to the illusion for the HMs, by simulating the travel time to an exotic location.

The tropical garden looks great and the luxuries would be a welcome change for them. The open-air bedroom is something different too.

I wonder if the 4 HMs really were chosen at random. They seem to be a few of the underdogs. I get the feeling if Terri or Nobbi, who have had plenty of screen time already, were picked, they might have been put back on the bottom of the pile again. I think it is BB's way of separating the groups to amplify the viewers'feelings about certain HMs and give them some time in the spotlight.

In contrast the cricket task going on in the House is a bit dull. It is a variation on a theme they have used many times before. At least it will ensure they get 24 hours of conversation during the task.

You have to wonder if some bigger task is coming for the Bali HMs or if they are really just going to live the week in their luxury location, or if the HMs will swap at some point. With Carson Kressley making a guest appearance in the House, you'd think they would all have to be in one place for that. Will BB make them sit on the plane again to get back to Australia?

A great twist would be if after this week, BB destroys the tropical garden, refits the whole area into a different holiday theme, and sends another group of HMs there in a few weeks' time.

I don't think I've seen the real point of the task yet, but it seems lucky for the HMs chosen to spend their time there. Let's hope whatever twist BB has for the task pays off.
