Tonight the Nominations saw Cherry, Terrence, Alice, and Rory making up the HM-selected nominees. Nobbi got to save 1, choosing his mate Rory. This left 3 HMs up for evcition.
But then it was announced to viewers that the next highest nominated HMs would fall into Rory's place, adding Brigitte, Terri, and Nobbi himself into the lineup.
But isn't BB's rule that at least 3 HMs must be up for eviction? Should Rory's omission from the nominees been replaced by the other 3 at all, or should it have been left at just the top 3? Maybe BB just did this to ensure Nobbi got himself nominated because so many viewers are calling out for a chance to vote to evict him.
Nobbi has rekindled a bit of his likability since the Travis-Alice incident 2 weeks ago, buying time with his 2 consecutive FNL wins. Does he have enough against him on the outside to get rid of him? Does he have enough fans to save him? Maybe with 6 up, BB could make this week a Double Eviction to make double sure Nobbi goes. kombi-Man's Eviction show will at least draw a crowd.

Rhianna's Eviction a Bonus for Big Mouth
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.
