Celebrity Guest VS Major Sponsor

Pamela Anderson has more than BB on her schedule during her Aussie visit. She also plans to speak out against KFC's poor treatment of their chickens.

Since "Yum! Foods" are one of BB's major sponsors with their KFC and Pizza Hut brands, how will they take BB inviting a celebrity rival through its doors onto national TV? What will Pamela think tonight watching the Eviction from her dressing room when they say "Big Brother's Nominations Twist brought to you by KFC Twisters"?

Don't worry, Pammy. I'm sure the Twister lived a long, full, and happy life, and has gone to Double Sweet Chili Heaven!

Ticket Troubles?

Look for plenty of empty seats at tomorrow night's Surprise Midweek Eviction / Pamela Anderson special. They have been flogging the hell out of them for weeks to a point where I think maybe not so many people want to go. The hosts have been reminding people every chance they get, and there have been emails and ads from Dreamworld and Big Brother. Pamela may arrive on stage to the sound of crickets chirping.

Unlucky Shot

How unlucky was Ben to smash the water tank indicator on the first shot after being reprimanded by BB not to throw the ball at the tanks! It was almost like it was scripted that way. Bizarre. It's a wonder the BB House didn't float away after seeing how bad the backyard drainage is during the treasure hunt task.

Blonde Mice Hook Up

Strangely, I was happy to see Brigitte finally let her guard down with Cherry. Cherry has been determined since his first day in the House to make his move on Brigitte, and despite her special friend Eric on the outside, Brigitte had a snuggle and a smooch with Cherry for the last 2 nights. Brigitte has said a relationship in the House could "ruin her life". No one quite knows what her arrangement with Eric is, so we can only speculate what this comment means, or if she is just being overreactive. Maybe her story will come out when she is evicted.

Eviction #9: Who Will Go?

Easy one this week: Bianca.

But let's extrapolate on that a bit more. Alice was nominated by the HMs, and saved by fellow Blonde Mouse, Cherry. She has been saved from nomination so many times now, I'm sure she'll be a little embarassed, and grateful, to get another free pass.

Rory, on the other hand, has actually been up for eviction so many times and survived, he will just get more cocky than ever and be sure the world loves him. Although, if Bianca somehow makes it through this eviction, it will be Rory that goes.

Terri and Travis replace Alice in the mix, and are both huge fan-favourites, so look for their eviction percentages at the bottom of the graph when Kyle and Jackie show it.

Bianca has been having tantrums all week about the mole task, flaring up at the others, and wasn't really one of the favourites to begin with. She has a temper and that never goes down well with viewers. Plus, other than the ones with Corey, her arguments are never very entertaining. It's time to go Bianca.

Some People Stand in the Darkness...

The last time we saw Pamela Anderson she was inside Borat's hessian sack, and she was probably safer in there than she is going to be in the BB House this week. Pamela and her pair of floatation devices will go in live on Wednesday night, presumably after a Surprise Eviction, though plans for that have not been officially announced yet.

Unfortunately it looks like Bianca will be gone by tonight, so she won't be able to show Pammy what a real rack of Double-Gs looks like, compared to her plastic set of Double-Ds.

Looks like she won't be staying over full time though. Her schedule supposedly includes 3 separate entrances into the BB House-- Wednesday night, a dinner, and a slumber party, though Pamela won't be spending the night. Perhaps this will be done in the Holiday House, as it has been suggested the BB Airlines gimmick still has 1 trip left in it. It will be interesting to see if BB edits the 2 Daily Shows to make it look as if she was there the whole time!

Her visit will tie in with a papparazzi-themed task. What will she teach them? How to keep your home-made sex tapes out of papparazzi hands? I think they'd fail the task!

So we have her live entrance on Wednesday night, an extended Daily Show on Thursday, and she will be live on the FNL panel on Friday for Circus Night. I'm sure she will have Mike and Fitzy pitching circus tents of their own.

But what will the HMs make of her? Are they old enough, or in Terri's case young enough, to have watched Baywatch? I guess it's just another stunt to make us forget they are supposed to be locked in a House with no outside contact. Good luck Pammy!

Cherry Ripe for Finals

Having won another FNL, Cherry would have to be pretty unlucky to not get into the final week of the show now. Last week he was the only HM to get NO nomination points, proving he is as far under the radar as he can go without dragging along the ground. If the public were nominating and HMs evicting like at the start of the season, I don't think he'd still be there.

So he is not nominated this week, and assuming they do go ahead with the midweek eviction this week, then Monday's nominations will be for Wednesday's eviction when Cherry will have the chance to save himself. If he is not unlucky enough to get himself nominated this time, then the earliest he will go is next Sunday.

But with HMs ignoring his nominatability and viewers seemingly liking him, we may see him get through to the final eviction the night before the Finale, or even in the final 3!
