Vending Machine Watch (Updating)

THIS POST UPDATES WEEKLY

Given the light coverage BB's Vending Machine is getting this year, check here to see what they have to spend, what they have to buy, and what they choose each week.

INTRODUCTION
The BB Vending Machine appears every Tuesday and contains several sought after items in the BB House. Some are for the good of all. Some are personal items that affect only one HM. Head of Household (FNL Winner) is given a budget of up to 20 coins, based on how well behaved they have been for the week. HoH can discuss the purchase of items with HMs, but has ultimate power over what items are taken from the machine into the BB House.

Fallout: Yes, at last the Vending Machine makes it to the Daily Show because it caused some contention. Over half of the HMs wanted the hair straightener and Nobbi refused to buy it, instead buying them a chocolate bar each. This almost brough some HMs to tears! This will make the girls extra keen to win FNL this week just so they can choose the items next week. Who knows if it will even be in there though. Or will an item Nobbi would want be in there to choose?
