Carson's Back Tomorrow

Even though it happened a week ago, BB will air the second Carson Crashes special tomorrow night. Now that Rebecca has been evicted, will they edit her out of it and make it look "live"? If they do the fashion show in the same way as last time, they won't be able to, as they all stood along the back of the stage.

After watching some episodes of How to Look Good Naked, I have a new favourite Carson word, and I hope he uses it tomorrow night-- I like the way he turns the simple word "bra" into "BRRRRRAWWWWW". It's like he's never going to stop pronouncing it. Listen out for it!

More Fuel for the Flame

Everybody's been speculating about Travis' sexuality. His clothes, his voice, his love of the Spice Girls, etc. Just now on the Live Stream they were talking about their favourite foods. Travis' favourite? Quiche!

Nathan & Renee, Dancing by the Tree. N, O, T, H, I, N, G!

From tonight's Daily Show, it seems that most of the HMs gave up rehearsing for this week's dance task not too long after their official practice session was over. Except for Nathan & Renne, who seemed to be "rehearsing" from 9am until well into the evening.

More likely it was just a chance for Nathan to be Mr Sucky Nice Guy to her all day, and Renee to be Miss Shy Tough Chick to him.

"Ooooh, I'm embarrassed to touch your face." Blargh!

Just hurry up and become this year's BB couple so we can evict Nathan and watch Renee get over him in 5 minutes flat and him to pine for her from the outside as if they still stand a chance! Renee was fun til Nathan came along.

Right Back At Ya Tom

Last night on Big Mouth, special comedian guest Tom Gleeson went on a rant about how the only thing Terri ever says is "I'm 52. I'm 52. Oh, I'm 52..." and so on.

Shortly after that he went on to make a joke about himself being a red-head and getting sunburnt every time he goes into the sun-- a joke he tells in EVERY appearance he makes! He has done it in the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala, when I saw him at the Jason Alexander comedy show a couple of years ago, and probably in every TV appearance I have seen him in.

So, Tom, when you base your entire professional existence on the same line, don't have a go at the HMs for being repetitive.

So They Think They Can Dance

Another BB cross-promotion task begins. Last week's cricket task was set up to promote the IPL Cricket now showing on Ten in the timeslot UpLate should inhabit. This week cross-promotes the SYTYCD national tour.

But it already seems like a good task. We have seen dancing tasks before in past years, but they usually involved the HMs all learning the same dance, e.g. BB05's Tango task (also a cross-promotion for the Fox movie Mr & Mrs Smith!) or BB07's Bollywood task. This week has the HMs paired up and each learning different styles to present to BB at the end of the week, and presumably the SYTYCD judges as well.

The pairs and styles were well-chosen too. Terri & David doing the German slap dance will be hilarious. Rory and Nobbi pulling some boy band moves! From the looks of it Brigitte will be a natural at her hip hop, but will get frustrated trying to get Travis to learn the moves.

As with most of these types of tasks, the performance will probably be seen on the live streams on Saturday night and aired in the Daily Show on Sunday.

All Brigitte's Eggs In One Basket

... And the basket just got evicted!

By putting her allegiance with Rebecca and turning on all the other girls, Brigitte has left herself in the House without any girl buddies. Sure, Dixie and Bianca are just as bitchy, but at least they still have in-roads to friendships with Alice, Renee and Terri. Rebecca has left Brigitte without anyone.

So this week the relentless crying to BB will continue. Perhaps this week's task will bring her closer to Travis, who is like a girlfriend anyway.

Ninja Exposure Causes Info Leaks in the House

On the Live Stream Bianca just confirmed that the "Ninja" that did her hair and make-up (for the Carson Kressley special) told her she had seen the fight between Bianca and Corey on the show. When Bianca questionned which fight had been aired, the Ninja said she probably shouldn't have mentioned that.

But why are the Ninjas talking to them anyway? Shouldn't they have taken a vow of silence before entering the House for the special? Or maybe it is too much to ask a hairdresser to stop gossiping for more than 20 minutes!
