Looks Like a Monday Finale After All

Today tickets went on sale on the Dreamworld website for the eviction show on Sunday 20th July-- the day highly speculated to be the finale for the series. It looks like this will be a regular Eviction show, with the Finale likely following on the Monday night, because:

• Dreamworld site says "Eviction", not "Finale".
• Cocktail Party tickets are also on sale for that evening. They don't normally have a cocktail party before the finale show because ex-HMs are all busy getting ready for the show and can't attend. Plus the live show starts earlier for the finale, so Dreamworld is still open up til the audience is just about seated for the finale.
• Cocktail party is scheduled for 5:30pm - 6:30pm. If this was the finale, the audience would be seated by 6 for a 6:30 start.
• Plus, having 2 HMs rattling around in the House for longer than 24 hours would be a bit silly and boring.

Looks like the Finale will actually be Monday 21st July this year. I guess if this is true the tickets for the Finale will go on sale on the Dreamworld site sometime in the next week.

This is great news for me because I have theatre tickets for a matinee on Sunday 20th July so it would have been a big rush home for the finale if it was that night. Now at least all I'll miss is the start of the final Daily Show.

Looking forward to confirmation of this in the next few days!

Grey Nomads' Popularity to Soar

For Nobbi it was likely the designation to the Kombi Van that increased his popularity. Both from those who saw it as an undeserved challenge, and from those who enjoyed watching the trouble-maker live through his punishment night after night. Will it have the same effect on Terri and Terrence?

Putting them in the Kombi together will likely create heaps of funny moments and lots of Daily Show footage of them camping out together. It will make the already popular HMs even stronger. Nobbi wasn't thinking ahead when he decided this would be a punishment for Terri, as he has now made her chances at a $250,000 retirement fund even better.

If Nobbi had put Terri in with one of the boring ones (Ben or Alice) it may have less of a positive effect on the viewing audience.

Now with Terrence nominated this week against 2 original HMs, will the new focus on him be enough to keep him there another week, or more?
