After this week's dancing doona action between Rory and Rhianna, Big Mouth are set to score having one of the doona duo on the show tonight when they unveil the footage on national TV.
The story made it to the radio news this afternoon, saying producers promise to show the footage on tonight's show, and Rhianna was worried about seeing it, and it being seen.
How will the 25 year old single mother with a 7 year old daughter react when her private moment with her short-time boyfriend-of-the-House is exposed to the country? And will the low ratings for the show improve as a result? Last week got 669,000 viewers, and that was the highest figure yet!

Week 11 Snap Eviction
Wednesday July 9 will see this year's first LIVE midweek special. A Surprise Eviction will be held to help cull the large number of HMs still remaining in the House.
This will happen after the 2nd Live Eviction show, so it is likely it will be a public vote over 48 hours to select the evictee. Either that or they will hold over results of Monday's nominations to see who is left after the midweek Eviction, or let the HMs vote on the following Sunday eviction.
Or maybe one of the 2 eviction nights will be a prize money twist, with a HM choosing to leave for a guaranteed cut of the prize.

Rove Runs Over Too
At the start of Rove last night one of the cast, I think Peter Helliar, made a joke about TV shows starting and ending on time. Was he having a go at BB running 10 mins overtime last night pushing their show later? So, what was the running time of Rove's "1 hour" show last night? 1 hour 15 minutes! :-)
Treasure Unearthed
It wasn't til about 2am when HMs finally unearthed the treasure chest form the backyard, fighting back rising water below the badly drained sandpit. BB might have thought this one through a bit more because the water had damaged the clue inside the box so the HMs could not read it. BB provided a "spare" for Nobbi to read to the House. (Now why didn't he just give them the spare to begin with. I wonder if they'll edit the Daily Show to make it look like the undamaged paper comes out of the box!)
Of course in true BB style, the live stream audio and for the most part video, was cut once the clue was found so the footage could be saved up to draw in ratings for the Daily Show.
The OS, however, reveals the full story. They found the prize in the Diary Room, by ripping the chair up with scissors! BB didn't let it too far out of his sight, did he? Each HM retrieved a box containing $25,000 cash. To add a real game-playing spin on the final 5 weeks, when a HM is evicted, they give their loot to the HM of their choice. The final HM in the House will win the total $250,000, so I'm trying to figure out how having more cash helps or hinders and individual HM, unless there will be cash-related prizes, offers, losses, etc.
But is $250K a good prize? Maybe the prize total was always going to be based on the ratings of the show, hence why they left the announcement so late?
BB01-03 rewarded their winners with $250K. BB04 made a big deal of increasing it four-fold to an even $1m going to Trevor. BB05-07 started out at $1m and quickly depleted as the season went on, with a chance to win back money in the final week's FNL, with about $860K going off in 05, and only just over $400K in 06 & 07. So maybe it is right that the prize money continues to plummet. Or maybe BB should have made an extravagant announcement of $500K or more to really entice HMs and viewers. Brigitte has already said $250K doesn't do it for her, but then she is the spoilt little rich kid.

The Prize Dig
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.
