The Many Faces of... The Combi

One thing that has set this season of BB apart from the rest is a dirty great hunk of scrap metal in the backyard, also known as The Combi Van.

Who came up with the idea of putting the vehicle in the backyard and getting one unlucky HM to spend their entire BB existence sleeping in it? And were they smoking the same stuff when they came up with the idea as they were in the 60s when they were driving one around?

The Combi has become a character itself, and has had a few facelifts to keep it looking fresh for its inhabitants.

When Nobbi moved in on Day 1, the Combi was proudly sporting its hippie heritage design of large brightly coloured flower decals.



During his 5th week living in the van, BB decided Nobbi required a bit more style, and the HMs pimped out the Combi with zebra stripes, matching sheets, mirror balls, and fluffy dice.



When Nobbi was finally evicted, he flipped the grenade Terri gave him and sent her packing to the backyard with Terrence to keep her company. On Day 57 the HMs rid the Combi of all trace of Nobbi and set it up for the Grey Nomads, with a fitting grey paint job, featuring designs from each of the HMs.



Terrence was then evicted and told Terri she could move back into the House, so the vacated Combi got its final redesign in a rainbow grafiti style, again with a motif from each HM, and a multicoloured row of HM hand prints to make their mark on the Van.



The van is now inhabited by Ben due to his insubordination. Will he be the Combi's final occupant?

Well, Didn't We Get It All Backwards (Maybe?)

Brigitte's claims throughout the latter part of the season that if she hooked up with a boy in the House it would ruin her life, seem to have been taken rather the wrong way.

While it was speculated in and out of the House that Brigitte actually had a boyfriend on the outside named Eric who threatened her if she should make him look to be a fool by breaking up with him on national TV were almost the complete opposite of the story that has come out today.

And if it is possible to have two complete opposites of something, a further story told by Eric this week was that they were nothing more than friends and she wanted to be more than that, threatening to hurt herself if he saw other girls, and threatening to kill girls he would get together with to put her off him. He made her out to be a bit of a bunny boiler.

The third (and final?) story that has come out today from Brigitte herself is that Eric wanted to be more than friends with Brigitte, and she didn't, but he was threatening to release a sex tape he had secretly made of them together if she should do anything with any guys in the House.

The story is so bizarre it could not be made up. So who do we believe? With the evidence given, all 3 make sense. So did BB invite Eric onto the eviction show not knowing about the sex tape story, and when Kyle knew all about it that's when they decided not to pair them up on stage? Did BB inadvertently invite Brigitte's blackmailer to meet her?

Just when you though Brigitte could not be any more mentally draining!
