Travis has been out of the House now for almost 24 hours with an infected eye. He was ambushed by Nobbi, Rory and Ben when coming out of the toilet and got squirted with shower gel. Some of the product got into his eye and despite their efforts to flush it with water, it was still stinging.
During FNL, to add insult to injury, they strapped backwards binoculars to head and told him to play soccer! He was hardly participating in the game and the hosts didn't seem to know what was wrong with him. Shortly after this he was removed for medical treatment.
The OS states he was taken to hospital for treatment and they were waiting on doctors' OK to return to the House.
It has now been almost 24 hours and he is still not in there. Hopefully he will return tonight, or at least tomorrow. I wonder what they would do if he was not back in the House and he ended up in the bottom 3 for eviction. I guess he'd have to be exempt for the week not being there to vote on his behalf and so on.
Hopefully Travis is "locked down" and not with his family. A ninja is sufficient to keep him away from fans and outside interferences.

Intruder Alert!
The revolving door of Housemates continues this year with another 3 lined up to enter this Sunday night. 1 HM will go out and 3 go in, bringing the House population back up to 12, with 8 weeks to go!
CHERRY
Must be a pretty cool guy to get this far through life with a girl's name. I wonder if his mates shorten it in some way. Chezza! Maybe he will add a new romantic spark for the girls. The original HMs often get to know each other so well they act more like brothers and sisters, but intruders are ripe for the picking (excuse the Cherry/picking pun!). Hopefully he is not too much of a himbo-- the last thing we need now is more segregation between the sexes in there.
RHIANNA
A young single mum-- her daughter was born when she was 18. Possibly an interesting conversation starter with Terri, also a mum. She said in her bio package she wants to be Brigitte's friend and give her a hug. She is obviously being put in as the Rebecca replacement to cheer up Brigitte and give her a new friend. Maybe Brig will stop carrying on about leaving now.
TERRENCE
A new oldie to rival Terri. Will they love having a mature HM to talk to, or will they turn on each other? This guy has 3 teenage kids and wants to get to understand the young generation. He might latch onto the young group even more than Terri has tried which could lead to some resentment.
(I was just thinking, the BB House has had 3 Terri/Terrys over the years (BB04 & this year's 2), and all were parents! Freaky.)
So, will these guys all get to stay, or will there be another snap eviction to decide who gets to become HMs? The official HMs want to leave, and the new ones that go in get thrown out. Maybe we'll get to know these ones.

Favouritism in the Daily Show
According to the OS Diary, yesterday BB reprimanded Bianca and Nobbi for swearing too much. Bianca was made to clean the inside windows. Nobbi was made to clean all the outside windows.
In the Daily Show, only Nobbi's warning and punishment were shown. It was not mentioned that Bianca got exactly the same lecture moments before.

BB Lays Down Law, Forgets to Tell Viewers
In tonight's Daily Show, BB called HMs to the Diary Room and told them from now on breaches of House rules will incur a strike against them, and 3 strikes evcits them from the House. This seemed to be brought on by Rory having a bit of a go at Brigitte. It was nothing harmless, but possibly just the straw that broke the camel's back. Or maybe BB just needed some more Daily Show filler.
He went on to say that 2 weeks ago, he had introduced spot fines for rule breaches, and the HMs had already earned themselves $82,000 in fines. Hold on. When did this happen? And what do they have to lose money from? So far the only "money" we have heard of is the $60,000 Corey earned them with his parting task. It was never referred to as prize money though. We have not heard anything else about money-earning tasks. So the housemates have lost $82,000 of their $60,000? Doesn't make sense.
I'm sure regular viewers of the show were surprised to hear HMs were losing money for rule breaches. It's just another aspect of the show BB is inexplicably hiding from viewers this year. It seems this year the HMs that are cut off from the outside world actually know more about the running of the show than the viewers do. Even having watched a lot of live streaming I have not heard anything about HMs winning or losing money this year.
It's time BB came clean and let us in on what the grand prize is this year, how they win it, and how it can be taken away.

Travis Too Possimistic
Can the HMs do anything to Travis to crack his positive (possimistic) view of the world? Brigitte was told by BB to wear rose-coloured glasses as a task, but it seems Travis has rose-coloured corneas or something. Nothing fazes the guy!
Even Nobbi completely shambolicising Trav's hair yesterday could not break the barrier. He basically cut bald patches into his head, and Travis loved the outcome, even with the entire House-load laughing at him. I shouldn't be too surprised though. This is the guy that requested Renee wax (she ended up shaving) just one of his legs.
And how bold is Nobbi to do something like that to someone.
And surprisingly, even though they are on national TV, it kind of seems like just about anything goes in the House. It's as if there are no social repercussions for what they do except amongst themselves. Even looking on from outside it seems less of a deal. If Travis had to go out shopping with that haircut it would be far more mortifying than to be broadcast into 900,000 homes like that every night. Weird.

"I Want To Go Home"
We have heard this plea (or threat) more times than ever before this year, and it's only Week 5!
Rebecca, Dixie and Brigitte have been most vocal on the subject, requesting an early departure every time something doesn't go their way. From the way it seems, BB is pretty much ignoring these requests, asking them to sleep on it, or just to leave the Diary Room. The requests for voluntary eviction seem half-hearted, so there is probably no reason to go further into it.
Obviously the BB production has spent a lot of time, effort, and money on the HM selection and the last thing they want it to see one of them actually walk out over something petty. Not to mention that the HM would probably regret it after not very long at all. But you have to wonder if BB opened the Diary Room doors to the House and to the "outside", which one would they walk through?
Are they just trying to get BB to back down on his punishments? (Both Dixie and Brigitte have received hand grenades they are not fond of.) Are there emotions just getting the better of them? And how serious would they have to be before BB took these requests seriously? Will we see one of them actually leave before their time comes?

Ollie Arrives
After winning the Dog House task, appropriate winner Alice was given care of an 11 week old guide dog puppy she has christened Ollie. HMs' task is to care for the dog and train it for the week. There are strict rules as this is a working dog in training.
Today their care had already slipped, as they are supposed to stop it going to the toilet and take it to the sand in the farmyard to do its business to house train it, but while most HMs lay in the sun, the puppy was running around marking everything he could find, and the HMs were unfazed.
Some HMs are uninterested in their pet altogether. Renee is upset that they cannot have the spa while the dog is in the House, and Nobbi is not interested in Ollie either. Rory will be getting to know the dog just fine, as Alice has charged him with cleaning up its... mess.
BB also told HMs the experience would be one never before offered in the BB House, but the BB01 House was given a puppy for a few days before it freaked out at the situation and was removed for its own safety.
