HMs Passed Task, But Alice Cooks Staples

Last week HMs passed their task and won themselves a week of luxury foods. It is probably right then that the HMs are bitching about Alice's lunch menu today, cooking chicken patties and boiled cabbage-- bland foods basically made only from their staple ingredients they would have whether they passed or failed the task. Bianca and Travis said there are plenty of other ingredients left to make a much better lunch, but Alice took over the kitchen. Maybe Alice is the first HM in history to be satisfied with BB's staple diet.

FNL Week 8: Heavy Metal Night

For Heavy Metal Night there will be more games based on themed puns: Iron Maiden where HMs will be pushed around an obstacle course on an ironing board, Skid Row where HMs have to do the biggest skid, and a Pinata-type game with HMs smashing guitars into an amplifier.

What we definitely don't want to see is Nobbi win again. Terri or Bianca would be a good change. Terri would love Head of Household, getting everyone up doing chores all week.

I asked Mike Goldman on his live blog this week:
One of the FNL prizes is Head of Household, and HoH is supposed to be able to tell HMs to do certain chores whenever they want. The only time HoH uses their powers though is when BB instructs them to make decisions. Do you think this power is being wasted this year? I think maybe someone like Terri would utilise this power more effectively. I hope Terri wins an FNL this year!

His response was:
I want Terri to win too! It would be funny to see an old nanna smashing guitars tomorrow night on HEAVY METAL NIGHT!!!!! The power isnt being wasted they still have to be in charge and tell people what to do. That causes friction and that works well on BB.

Bit of a cop-out answer that just defends the prizes won out of his part of the show I guess. Where is the friction? Over the Vending Machine? Come on. Head of Household does not use the power available to them unless forced, therefore it is fake friction. I want to see a HoH boss the others around more. Of course it won't happen because it will just get them nominated.

This afternoon on live streaming I heard Travis say to Brigitte this is their week for FNL because they have come second more than anyone else. He thinks it will will be the two of them playing off against each other in the finale round. In his words "I'm always the bridesmaid, never the bride."

Also, news will come out tonight about Steve Carrell appearing on next week's show (Spy Week).

No word yet on what the "fun" prize will be for tonight's winner. No talk of another flight or movie yet. The girls are hoping for a movie if they win.
