2 new concepts for BB08 are not getting any airtime in the Daily Show.
First is the Vending Machine, which has made at least 2 appearances so far and has failed to cause enough controversy to get into the night's show. HMs used their first week's currency to buy chocolates for everyone, and their second week's earnings to buy soft drinks and a cricket set. The second time around Brigitte's clothes were also on offer, and not purchased by HMs.
The other is the Strategy Room. Aside from the end of FNL, and small clips during the Sunday Daily Shows, BB has failed to get material worth broadcasting out of this venture. The Strategy Room has been opened several times during the last 2 weeks for HMs to form alliances and share voting secrets, but casual viewers would not know it existed.

Brigitte's "Tough" Task
In last night's Daily Show, they made it look as if Brigitte was given her task to wear rose-coloured glasses for the entire day early in the morning, and had to put up with it all day long.
However according to the OS Diary, she did not get the task until around 5:25pm, and only had to wear the glasses and act positively until after the Family Dinner. 3 hours maybe?
Thank god the task had a twist, because BB made it way too easy on her.
Also, another offer BB made didn't even go to air. BB offered to give Brigitte her belongings back if she was willing to trade places with Nobbi in the Kombi Van. She declined this offer. Perhaps because she is enjoying the attention! While I don't agree with her bahaviour getting any more airtime than it already is, showing this would have shown that maybe her stuff isn't as important to her as she is making it out to be. At least in the Kombi, she would have plenty of time away from the HMs she believes hates her so much. Maybe making sure they see her cry is part of her plan!

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.
