Official Site Runs Ads For Seven
I just caught the official BB mobile site advertising The X Factor-- a Seven Network show. Surely they'd be all about Nine's shows, given that the domain used to redirect to a NineMSN page before the series started.

A Slice of Ego for Ryan
Playing right up to Ryan's massive ego, BB is throwing Ryan a party for his 22nd birthday this week-- the icing on the birthday cake, a photo of the birthday boy himself. BB has posted two photos on Facebook and asked the fans to decide which photo to use. "Like" for topless Ryan, or "Post" for clothed Ryan.
At this time, 33 minutes in, the photo has attracted 4,714 Likes and only 673 Posts. Looks like topless Ryan it will be!

Nom Noms, Week 1
Last night was the first Nominations night of BB9, and it was hilarious.
The serious look of the new Nominations Room was overshadowed by the HMs struggles with the soundproof Nominations Chamber, and the ridiculous ways they ensured no one could read their lips while nominating. Most awkwardly censored their own mouths with their hands. And Benjamin not closing the door properly and getting all sweaty and flustered had me in hysterics. BB: "Benjamin, take a breath."
Due to failing the Secrets Task, only female HMs could be nominated this week.
Big Brother's surprise new way to Nominate gave each HM 5 points to allocate any way they wish to any two other HMs. This allowed for more strategising, and higher score differences, as well as huge changes to the leaderboard throughout the live show.
It's not surprising that the three biggest female personalities are up for Eviction-- it's always been the downfall of the Nominations process. Charne scored 22 points, Estelle 14, and Layla 12.
This year the public Vote to Save their favourite Nominee, as is the way with most reality shows these days. Hopefully this means the biggest personality gets a reprieve.
But who will it be? Charne is fun and crazy. Estelle is forming close "friendships". While Layla stands out with her accent and strange take on things, perhaps she is offering the least to the dynamic, and should be the first to leave. After all, she is basically a plant by BB, plucked from the BB UK auditions.

Mike Goldman Up For UpLate
Mike Goldman has been regularly retweeting his fans' pleas for him to return to host UpLate or Friday Night Live in 2012. He even replied to me:

Ratings Update
The "Live Special" on Tuesday drew 1.327m viewers and was the second highest rating show of the night. It was against H&A (1.02m, 9th) and MasterChef Allstars (788,000, 13th).
The "Special" 1 hour Daily Show on Wednesday which saw the final two HMs enter the House late Tuesday night after the crowd had gone home, attracted 1.13m viewers, up against H&A (996,000) and MasterChef Allstars (751,000).

One More Secret's Out
Ryan let slip pretty quickly after entering the House that he is afraid of birds after being prompted by the girls.
This takes us to two secrets now disclosed for sure, one on the inside of the House and one on the outside. Of course the magazine article about George having millions of dollars in property investments was spread around the internet before he'd even walked into the House.
Of course I have to wonder what if that's just a coincidence? What if several HMs share one or more of the secrets and the girls do guess correctly, but they are not THE secret of that HM? Did BB check that all the secrets chosen are unique to a single male HM?
