Nominations Return

This week the HMs voted for nomination for the first time this year.

The Noms were edited way down and made really streamlined. From a 70 minute weekly show, the nomination process has been reduced to 20 minutes of the Daily Show which condenses a bit of a boring and repetitve process and just shows us the bitchiness. This is going right back to the beginnings in BB01 when they would just include the interesting nominations in the Tuesday Daily Show.

At the end the Nominees were Alice, Bianca, and Brigitte.

Dixie got to use a Hand Grenade (obviously several pre-recorded selections, shown based on who was ultimately nominated), to decide who was saved from nomination. (The first positive hand grenade this year.) This means the next most voted HM(s) would fall into Alice's position.

The final list is Bianca, Brigitte, Renee, and Terri.

I think it is goodbye to Bianca this week!

Obviously, Ignorance is Bliss

The task for the week is for the HMs to ignore all the strange goings-on that BB will introduce into the House. Kind of sounds like the Scare Task last year where HMs were not allowed to react to frightening things BB would do, but has the potential to be a lot funnier.

So far the HMs woke to a circus laughing clown game with mouth stuffed with hamburgers in the Temptation Window, and everything in the backyard being wrapped in aluminium foil. Brigitte reacted immediately, and was quickly told to be quiet by Rory.

BB also put a man in a gorilla suit in the Temptation Window. Ben and Rory had a hard time not reacting to it. I don't blame them. I would want to watch the monkey too. Ben pretended he was looking at the pot plants.

A marching band later paraded through the backyard, and Nobbi and Ben were both reduced to fits of laughter, probably already failing the task for them.

Tonight I see some of the boys, including big boy Terrence, are unwrapping the foil from the objects in the backyard and making clothing out of it. I'm not sure that constitutes ignoring it!

This will be a funny task, but completely unpassable for these guys.
