So They Think They Can Dance

Another BB cross-promotion task begins. Last week's cricket task was set up to promote the IPL Cricket now showing on Ten in the timeslot UpLate should inhabit. This week cross-promotes the SYTYCD national tour.

But it already seems like a good task. We have seen dancing tasks before in past years, but they usually involved the HMs all learning the same dance, e.g. BB05's Tango task (also a cross-promotion for the Fox movie Mr & Mrs Smith!) or BB07's Bollywood task. This week has the HMs paired up and each learning different styles to present to BB at the end of the week, and presumably the SYTYCD judges as well.

The pairs and styles were well-chosen too. Terri & David doing the German slap dance will be hilarious. Rory and Nobbi pulling some boy band moves! From the looks of it Brigitte will be a natural at her hip hop, but will get frustrated trying to get Travis to learn the moves.

As with most of these types of tasks, the performance will probably be seen on the live streams on Saturday night and aired in the Daily Show on Sunday.

All Brigitte's Eggs In One Basket

... And the basket just got evicted!

By putting her allegiance with Rebecca and turning on all the other girls, Brigitte has left herself in the House without any girl buddies. Sure, Dixie and Bianca are just as bitchy, but at least they still have in-roads to friendships with Alice, Renee and Terri. Rebecca has left Brigitte without anyone.

So this week the relentless crying to BB will continue. Perhaps this week's task will bring her closer to Travis, who is like a girlfriend anyway.
