This year BB has introduced the HM Hand Grenade. Each evictee gets to throw a "grenade" into the House to shake things up a bit. Here's the on-going list of explosions so far.
Grenade #1 (Day 1)
The Kombi Van
Housemate is confined to the Backyard indefintiely. They must sleep in the Kombi Van, shower outdoors, and use the outside toilet. The HM must not cross the boundaries of the inside of the House unless instructed by BB. When allowed inside, the HM is usually confined to the Locker Room.
Thrower: Terri
Target: Nobbi
Results: Nobbi is still living outside and occasionally has HMs come to sleep in the van with him, though the nights are getting colder and he often expresses his interest in being allowed into the House with the others. Nobbi misses out on joining in with Family Dinners each Wednesday night, and only gets to watch the HMs on a mobile phone or the plasma screen in the yard. During a downpour of rain, the Kombi sprung a leak, and Nobbi was allowed to sleep inside, but only in the area between the back doors and the roller door, and only within a marked out area the same size as his van.
Grenade #2 (Day 14)
Personal Possessions
Housemate loses all personal possessions indefinitely, other than the clothes they are wearing.
Thrower: Saxon
Target: Brigitte
Results: Probably the most reaction yet, Brigitte was immediately moved to rage, attempting to smash the plasma screen in the House, then brought to tears. She also lost her teddy bear and stuffed unicorn, Princess Sparkles. She basicallt cried for 2 weeks straight, performing Diary Room sit-ins, and a hunger strike that lasted all of 4 hours. Brigitte's persistence has caused BB to offer many opportunities to win her clothes back, but she has gained little of what she wanted with HMs deciding her attitude to the grenade does not warrant her getting everything she asks for.
Grenade #3 (Day 21)
Laundry Service
Housemate must do all laundry for all Housemates, whenever asked, indefinitely.
Thrower: Rebecca
Target: Dixie
Results: Dixie was fine with her grenade to begin with, but has since lost interest and even asked to leave the House because she didn't want to do laundry fpr her whole time in the House.
Grenade #4 (Day 28)
Early Bird
Housemate must be first up every morning at the sound of a rooster crowing. They must make BB toast and coffee and bring it to the Diary Room for him. The Early Bird must not go back to sleep at any time during the day.
Thrower: Nathan
Target: Travis
Results: Not much yet. Travis doesn't seem to mind being first up, and now often plays with Ollie in the mornings until the other HMs join him.
Grenade #5 (Day 28)
Night Watchman
Housemate must be last up every night. They cannot go to bed until all other HMs have gone. They must make BB a midnight snack and bring it to the Diary Room, and must tell BB a bedtime story upon request.
Thrower: David
Target: Bianca
Results: Again, not much yet. She tells a pretty crappy bedtime story though!
Grenade #6 (Day 36)
Save a Nominee From Eviction
One nominated HM saved, putting the next HM(s) in their place. (The first "positive" grenade.)
Thrower: Dixie
Target: Alice
Results: Alice saved from Nomination, with Terri and Renee taking her place as equal-next-in-line.
Grenade #7 (Day 42)
No Message From Home
All origianl HMs will receive a message from they family and friends, except the one who receives this grenade.
Thrower: Renee
Target: Brigitte
Results: Poor Brigitte cops a second hand grenade. As expected, it resulted in another tantrum in the Diary Room, and with her mediator Dixie gone, Bianca was dragged into the DR to listen to Brigitte whinge to BB. Brigitte thought it was unfair that she could get 2 hand grenades, but BB backed up that evictees can choose any HM to receive their grenade. The HMs haven't received their messages yet (as far as I know). Maybe they, including Brigitte, will have to sit and listen to each others' messages, just to rub it in.
Grenade #8 (Day 49)
Housekeeper
Housekeeper must ensure the kitchen is clean at all times, wash all the dishes, and clean the male and female toilets every morning.
Thrower: Rhianna
Target: Cherry
Results: Cherry is not happy about being the dishpig, especially this week when they are not on staples and have plenty of food to cook up between the 10 of them. Plus, BB gets him up nice and early to clean the toilets just to rub it in.
Grenade #9 (Day 56)
Combi Replacements
Nobbi gets to choose TWO HMs to replace him in the Combi Van, banished to the backyard, but may use the House bathroom for 20 minutes a day.
Thrower: Nobbi
Target: Terri & Terrence
Results: Terri knew what the grenade would be and that it would be aimed at her, so she laughed it off a bit. She was a little more stunned when she found out Terrence would be joining her though. The oldies decided to take it in good humour and not get upset about it. When they get to re-pimp the van and get their own outdoor cooking equipment they are even more excited about it.
Grenade Reversals (Day 58)
Brigitte has the option to buy Hand Grenade reversal certificates from the Vending Machine. She buys all 3 available and removes Grenades:
- #2 (Brigitte losing all her possessions)
- #5 (Bianca's night watchman)
- #8 (Cherry's housekeeper)
Grenade Reversal & Remove an Item
Reverse the Combi Van grenade, allowing Terri back into the House, and remove any item from the House. Hair straightener chosen.
Thrower: Terrence
Target: Terri & House
Results: Brigitte said a few parting words to the hair straightener and relived the last two weeks they shared together.
Grenade #11 (Day 70)
Wooden Spoon
Receiver of the grenade becomes House Chef until further notice and must prepare all food.
Thrower: Bianca
Target: Ben
Grenade #12 (Day 73)
Boring Food
BB will deliver the target of this grenade with 3 nutritious, but bland, meals each day, and they may not eat any other food until further notice.
Thrower: Brigitte
Target: Rory
