DVD Collection

As the series nears the end I've almost finished putting together this year's DVDs of the show. This series is made up of:

  • 1 disc for Launch Show
  • 11 discs for Daily Show
  • 3 discs for Big Mouth
  • 6 discs for Friday Night Live
  • 5 discs for Evictions
  • 1 disc for Finale

The covers are based on the opening titles of the shows (which made them very easy to create!)

The DVDs take their place in my collection of:

  • BB02 (Launch, early episodes & Uncut)
  • Celebrity BB (Finale)
  • BB04 (Launch, Specials, Evictions, Uncut, Finale)
  • BB05 (Almost everything)
  • BB06 (Entire series)
  • BB07 (Entire series)

Mike Making Sure Ben is Evicted

Mike Goldman has spent the week ensuring Ben is evicted this weekend and does not have a chance of winning the grand prize. Mike has used his own blog several times, and the FNL Finale show to promote the fact he thinks Ben will be "forgotten about" and win the series through lack of votes. This could only be to ensure he "reminds us" about Ben and that we start voting for him again to get rid of him on Sunday night.

Hopefully it works!

Each HM Gets a Daily Show Story

In the final week of BB, each HM was given a big story as part of one of the Daily Shows:
  • Terri: National Nana Day where HMs entertained Terri to win her care package.
  • Travis: Cooked each HM their favourite meal in a 6 hour kitchen marathon.
  • Alice: Had a date with BB (and a segment on her love for the treadmill and not wanting to give it up for Terri).
  • Rory: Finally getting his hands on some real bricks and building a letterbox with Travis.
  • Ben: A few small stories: as Head of House got to do the Vending Machine and host the Family Dinner, and was reprieved from sleeping in the Combi Van.

The Combi Van itself got its own farewell in Friday's Daily Show with a "lights out" tribute reminiscent of BB04's Finale Show. Hopefully they will do that again with the House at the end of this year's Finale.

FNL Hosts will get a Send-Off at Finale

A Channel Ten spokesperson has confirmed that Mike Goldman, Bree Amer, and Ryan Fitzgerald will in fact be involved in the Finale on Monday night. This may be in response to outrage by fans on Mike's blog after he said he was told he wouldn't be required.

All the past winners will be there: Ben, Peter, Regina, Trevor, Greg & David, Jamie, and Aleisha.

Still no word on whether Gretel will have any part in it. She is probably one of the only celebs Vile Kyle doesn't have a problem with these days, so you never know.
