Secrets Update

The girls' secret task to avoid nomination this week is to guess the male HMs' secrets. It's a fun play-along-at-home task, so here goes my guesses at this stage:

1. I have the IQ of a genius
Ray - he's a vet, might be smart enough

2. I have ornithophobia as the result of an emu attack
Bradley - he seems pretty easy to frighten

3. I have been fired from every job I have ever had
Josh - seems likely! ;)

4. I haven't had a girlfriend since I was 11
Benjamin - he is gay, so likely

5. I am a juvenile offender
Michael - there are rumours going around about him "entertaining" middle eastern men, who knows what else he's been up to

6. I have dated over 100 women
Ryan - he's a model, and full of himself enough to make this his secret

7. I am a multi-millionaire
George - this has been revealed, proven by a magazine article

Let's see how I go.

BB Hears Fans' Cries

2 days in and social media has already provided BB with enough outcries to make some fast changes.

Diary entries have gotten more detailed and more frequent now. About every 15 mins today to match their twitter updates.

Hourly video entries, labelled "live video", still run at about the 1 min 10 second mark. From 120 mins of footage (2 streams times 60 minutes) that's not much.

They have also launched a mobile friendly version of their site catered to the smaller touch screen. Excellent work on turning that around within a couple of days. Makes it much easier to do quick catch ups during the day.

Vast improvement in content today BB. How about longer video segments tomorrow? Thanks!

HMs Get a Dance Task

I was sure after the Launch show we'd never hear of the Big Brother Shuffle again. Unfortunately, Task #1 for the HMs is "Dance like nobody is watching". I guess with a professional dancer as the host what could we expect?
