What a great task. Fill the backyard with a few thousand cubic metres of sand, and get the HMs to dig it all up. The place looks like a disaster area. Will they ever be able to put it back together after this?
The HMs are really banding together. Nobbi is the worst foreman there could be. He is so unorganised. Travis is wearing his duckie pajamas and an orange vest. Most of the HMs are barefoot. Brigitte almost looks like she is naked under her vest.
They have struck water from somehwere and their hole is filling up. The dig area seems to be roughly the shape of the BB03/04 pool which may still be under the ground. Maybe the drainage is not so good and the rain water has been seeping into the sand that was under the turf.
The mood lighting is adding a cool effect to it all. Nobbi also has a camera in his helmet so it will be interesting to see some of that footage mixed in with the House cameras tomorrow night.
How long will it take them to find the clue?

Prize Revealed Tonight
So the ads are saying that tonight the BB grand prize will be revealed. I assume this means to the audience and to the HMs. The rumour also is that the HMs will have to find the prize somewhere in the House itself. Mike Goldman has said "won't the HMs be surprised when they find out it is right under their noses?" and Bree Amer has said it will involve "blood, sweat, and tears".
But the location of the prize probably isn't that much of a mystery. HMs have been locked out of the House all afternoon and told they will not be allowed out until after tonight's eviction. Travis was just saying he heard excavation machinery out there. Bianca said she heard them ripping up the astroturf.
So will it be as simple as that? Will they just walk out and the prize will in some way be on display to them?
Or will it be this week's task? Will there will be something in the backyard and they have to in some way do something to ensure the prize stays as high as possible, involving blood, sweat and tears? I am imagining some kind of Jigsaw-type trap from the Saw movies! But it could be a lot tamer I guess.
The rumour is Kyle will enter the House to tell them about it all. Yet another visitor to take their minds off being isolated. He might as well bring the Sunday paper in with him and leave it for them to have a read. Oh well.
My hopes for the prize: cash! $1m-- like BB04. No fines or crap like that. Or if it is a task and they have to get as much as possible, start it nice and high. Give them something to aim for. Make them want-- or need --to stay. Give them something to get bitchy over. Watch them change, or not, over it.

Brigitte Gets Best Birthday
Did anyone think Brigitte wouldn't get the favourite treatment for her birthday? Granted it is her 21st, but BB's birthday parties differ greatly depending on whose it is.
David got a pretty good party after the first FNL. Rebecca's was completely overlooked because Carson had to film his second special that night and they tried to pretend it was her birthday the next day after FNL. Alice and Rory had to share a party after another FNL, despite the fact their birthdays were on the Saturday and Sunday.
Brigitte is celebrating her her 21st in the House tonight. All HMs got to board the BB aeroplane for a quick flight and BB has opened up the Holiday House for the event and has turned it into Sparkle Land. They have painted the walls pink, cleaned out the pool after the Dump weekend, and fully decorated everything in pink and silver. The pink lips couch is in there and the round pink lounge from last year's House bathroom. She got the bubble blowers she wanted, a camera to take photos of the event, a champagne fountain, a birthday cake, and BB has even filled the yard with Princess Sparkle balloons.
When Nobbi bought her party dress out of the BB Vending Machine during the week, she was not grateful and said she didn't like it becuase it didn't match the only pair of shoes she had. So she asked BB if she could swap the dress for another pillowcase and ribbon. When BB delivered what she asked for, probably thinking he was doing the right thing, Brigitte laughed and said it wasn't the right colour, and as if she would swap a real dress for a pillowcase. BB later provided her with a white pillowcase which she also said was not good enough. So BB swapped her 2 pairs of shoes for the black ones she wanted from her confiscated luggage.
The 2 Hand Grendades Brigitte received are out the window now because BB played a birthday message from her family for her, which Renee said she was not to receive, and BB gave her Princess Sparkle back after having it confiscated by Saxon's grenade. Plus BB gave them music to dance to.
And what was the birthday girl's 21st speech? "Umm... I'm 21. Yay me!"
And now, they are all complaining because they are over it and want to go back to the House.

Late Series Shakeup
BB will be making scheduling changes when they get down to only 3 weeks to go. As of Week 10 (June 30), a fully fledged live Nominations show will return on Mondays from 7:30 to 8:30, followed by the new The Wedge spin-off. The dismal ratings I predict for this show will be another nail in the coffin for Big Mouth which will be moved half an hour later to start at 10pm.
So who will host the Noms show? Kyle and Jackie will probably be unavailable because of their radio show. Maybe this is the network's response to the positive reviews of Mike Goldman's Eviction show hosting. Perhaps Mike will get the hosting gig on this show. That would be good.

Travis Asks: Who Is Sideshow Bob?
The BB Hair Salon is open for business and Bianca is styling Travis' wig into blonde dreadlocks.
With the 'do almost complete, HMs started commenting on how he looked like Cecil Terwilliger, Sideshow Bob's brother from The Simpsons episode "Brother From Another Series".
Travis asked "Who is Sideshow Bob?" COME ON, TRAVIS! The one I would have picked to be the biggest Simpsons fan in there has never heard of one of the greatest recurring guest-role characters in the series? His guesses were "Is he related to Ned Flanders?" and "Is he the one with blue hair?"

Nobbi Seeks Trust
Now that Nobbi is aware of how he is coming across as a bully and realises Travis has lost faith in his once good friend, Nobbi seems to be trying to earn back trust, possibly for strategic purposes.
Maybe he realises he is this close to being evicted and the only way to stay in the game is to do a 180.
After cutting chunks out of Travis' hair a few weeks ago leaving him with bald patches, and BB telling Nobbi this, along with all the other recent events, was a form of bullying, yesterday Nobbi approached Travis about giving him a haircut. Travis made a joke about whether he wanted a haircut like his own, having a jab at Nobbi for providing his ridiculous style. But it seemed as if Nobbi was trying to win back some trust by telling Travis he was the one Nobbi trusted with his own do.
If Travis was spiteful he could really go to town before Nobbi even realised it.

Idea: Twist on the Message From Home
I know the HMs got their family video messages last night, so it's too late, but I was thinking of what could be a great twist on it for future reference.
Imagine each HM watches another random HM's message from their family, and it is up to them to relay it, or not, to the person it belonged to. They could make stuff up, or even accidentally get things wrong, or change the meaning of the message in translation, like a chinese whisper. It would make great footage to see who says what to whom about their personal messages.
