Friday Night Live: Hip Hop Night

FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE

Injury Free for 42 0 weeks

It's FNL Hip Hop Night tonight.

The top 3 hip hop dancers from So You Think You Can Dance Australia will perform live on stage.

This is the first week Terri, Corey, and Nathan will compete. After Corey has already stated he won't single out HMs, it is unlikely he will be able to execute whatever power over evictions they will receive this year.

Terri has won herself a free pass to Round 2 already because she was first to "hip hop" out of bed this morning, despite BB's efforts to wake Nobbi in the van.

What prizes will the winner receive? We've been told there is no Rewards Room, though BB isn't known for his honesty. Will the house next door be a Rewards Room?

Will tonight be the revelation of the Strategy Room?

Games tonight include an Eminem (M&Ms) vs 50 Cent (coins) musical-chairs style game. A J-Lo Big Booty obstacle course, and a "finish the next line of the rap" performance game.

I just want to see Terri get further through than Nobbi and watch him whinge about it.

Housemates Have a Sober Party

At a time when the Australian government is cracking down on underage drinking, it was mentioned tonight that BB has ruled that there will be no alcohol in the House while 17 year old Corey is a House Guest. Best to be on the safe side in a year where BB can't afford any negative attention.

So tonight the HMs are celebrating their Mr BB pageant with a glass of Coke in the spa. And, yes, there were some comments made about when Corey will get kicked out so they can have a drink.

Mr Big Brother: UPDATED

Tonight the male HMs will strut their stuff on the catwalk in front of the BB girls and the plastic farm animals, competing for the title of Mr Big Brother-- and a Ken Doll mounted on a trophy base! Categories will include formalwear, casualwear, and swimwear. Scraping together enough collared shirts between them has been difficult enough, but Travis has already talked about borrowing a g-string from Rory! There is such a thing as too friendly!

And planning of a Miss Big Brother pageant to follow has already begun.

8:00pm UPDATED:

And the winner is....

Newcomer Nathan

Runners up were Ben and David.

Nobbi is This Year's Michael (BB06)

This year's Nobbi and BB06's Michael have very similar personalities. They are both the manipulative bully of the year. They both have a way of talking a lot and not listening to others. They both go on and on about small things just so they can assert their power over a situation, getting louder with each iteration as if volume makes them right. They both chose their enemies early, and then continually try to get as many of the others on their side as possible.

The similarities don't end with personality, because both have had a similar BB experience. In BB06, Michael was voted by the public, before we even knew who he was, to be BB's Insider. This year Nobbi was voted by Terri, before she knew much about him, to live in the combi van and be confined to the backyard. Both have been segregated from the rest of the HMs by a decision based on first impressions.

As a result of this segregation, both turned on BB, arguing relentlessly and pointlessly with his decisions, despite the fact they always lose.

And most of all, both have done nothing but complain and whinge about their situation being unfair, when really they are getting everything they signed up for. They are on Big Brother.

Housemates May Starve

In Week 1 BB provided the HMs with prepared meals, and aside from some booby prize meals like the seaweed or the cheese slices, they were nutritious and ample meals. But the HMs continually complained. It's not enough for them, it doesn't have enough protein to fill the blokes' biceps, it doesn't taste nice...

So, BB responded by giving them access to a kitchen, and a fully stocked pantry and fridge. They started cooking up their own meals... and most of the HMs complained!

Now after their few days of cooking, BB has given them the famous staples diet to live on to encourage them to earn luxury foods next week. So the girls make do with what they have and produce something that is about as tasty as they are going to get... and the HMs complain.

Sure, tonight's chicken pie was really meatloaf wrapped in pastry, but they don't have much to work with. I don't see many of the guys stepping up to the hotplate, but they are first to criticise the food put in front of them. And when they did reject the pie and try to fend for themselves, their idea of porridge was raw oats and milk. They even refused to believe, when told, that you have to cook porridge. Oh well, we may be evicting skeletons after not too long.

Terri Passes Task: Any Old Task Will Do

BB was determined to get Terri back in as a HM any way he possibly could, especially after Rima's departure left the House full of boys.

Terri's task to chaperone Corey and provide guidance to the boy was deemed a failure by BB, and quite clearly was. However her "successful" completion of the task Corey refused to do, to choose 2 Gatecrashers to be evicted, was enough for BB to reinstate her HM status.

But Terri has already been telling the others this week she feels out of place. Her more permanent stay may get a bit uncomfortable. Nobbi obviously will never accept her. Will the others?

One good thing out of this is we will get to see Terri compete in FNL this week. We've already seen she can climb a tree with the best of them. Wouldn't it be fantastic to see her win over the young ones? Or at least make it to the final rounds!

Crowded House: Terri Evicts 2

Just announced by BB:

Corey was supposed to choose 2 of the Gatecrasher HMs to be evicted from the House by sunrise. He declined the task, and BB passed it on to Terri. The choice is a lot more difficult for her as she will possibly (probably) become a permanent HM again after this week, and will have to stand by her decision.

With the task of voting these guys into the House given to the Australian public, and such a big deal being made out of it, I can't see this being a permanent eviction either. I think BB has plans for the 2 that are chosen and it will become next week's twist. It is likely that BB will put them into the "house next door" that seems to be when the old White Room was, with its own backyard where the farmyard used to be with full size pool and cubby house.

I haven't had a chance to see much of the new guys, but I'm not that fond of Michael. Nathan seems to be the "nice guy", and if Barney hangs around much longer he and Alice could get a bit of romance happening. Given that I don't know exactly what will happen to the chosen 2, I will choose from either end and say I want her to pick Michael and Nathan for whatever lies in store for them.

I just hope they don't cut the live streams off again tomorrow to keep this decision a secret until the Daily Show airs.
