What's With Nominations?

When they announced that Nominations would be moved into a separate show from Week 10, they forgot to mention that all it would be is a dragged out version of what has been happening for the last month. Nominations are still built into the end of the Daily Show. There is no host. It is not live. In fact HMs nominated earlier than they have been previously, to give them time to edit together relevant clips.

Combi Vacated

Nobbi spent 8 weeks outdoors and sleeping in the Kombi Van. Terri and Terrence did it for 1 week. And now, for the first week, the Van is empty. I guess now it becomes the Chill Out Van for small gatherings and bitch sessions. It has been a gimmick that has set this season apart from others. And probably the first time BB has seen something like this all the way through. With other endurance tasks like last year's White Room, BB gave up long before the Wild Cards ever planned to. So for Nobbi to not even get a chance to get out of the Combi was a welcome surprise.

Whole Day of Mole

Rima is back and has brought with her a secret mission to make the HMs think there is a mole in their ranks and stir things up a bit-- and she has.

Thank god BB put a 3 day time limit on the Mole task, because all they have talked about for a whole day is who the mole could be! It has split them into little trust groups, made them secretive with each other, made them suspicious and watch every move everyone makes. They are doubting everything they know about each other including ages, occupations, intelligence, and backgrounds. They even guessed Terri had not really had a hysterectomy.

This is actually a pretty smart move because with only a few weeks to go, we are seeing a different side to some of the HMs, and learning what aspects of other HMs they have suspicions about. It could even help them realise some "playing the game" traits in others they had not yet realised.

Hopefully the revelation has been thought through and will be done in an interesting way.
