This Week's Grenade
Renee threw her grenade into the House last night. Check out the details on the Grenade Page.
Nominees
After this morning's round of nominations, the nominees are:
- Alice
- Terrence
- Nobbi
Nobbi has the FNL Twist, and will obviously save himself, unfortunately.
Terrence was an obvious target for many HMs too. It's a shame Alice is up again, given that there are new HMs that could have easily been singled out.
So who will fall into Nobbi's place tonight? I'm guessing Cherry or Terri, or maybe even Ben or Brigitte next.
But I'm already predicting Terrence to be evicted next weekend. Maybe BB will make it a double eviction to keep some interest in it, because a first round intruder eviction might be a little too predictable for the audience.
Sir is a Saint
Just now on the live stream:
Brigitte: When you're made a Saint, it's not called being Sainted... it's Knighted.
I think she's confusing "Saint" with "Sir".

Great FNL Game
Friday night's "super heroes" themed FNL had one of the best games yet in it. Round two where a HM was harnessed to the roof by wires and spun around as if flying Superman-style. How fun would that have been flying around the Arena! And it was fun to watch too.
Latest Annoying Phrase in the House
"Coin"
Anything to do with money they call "coin". And they say it all the time now! It's so annoying.
Last night at The Dump, the HMs were talking about who is well-off by saying how much "coin" they have. Just now they are talking about getting ripped off at the checkout at they are saying things like "give me the coin", and "the coin is mine".
Do these people only work in small denominations? Have they never heard of notes? Are their wallets just really heavy all the time with all these coins?
This one is going up there with annoying BB words like rate ("I really rate him") and Nobbi's dog (meaning bad, apparently).

Travis Loses Posimism
Who would have though it? Travis has finally seen a bad side in someone and stood up for himself. Finally he sees through the boys' facade of friendship.
In what was the best 15 minutes of Daily Show for the year, Rory, Ben, and Nobbi got their comeuppance for 6 weeks of taunting Travis and taking advantage of his naivety.
On Wednesday, the 3 boys, lead by Nobbi, told Travis that despite Alice telling Travis she was his friend, she was backstabbing him and telling them the other boys he was her least favourite in the House, and even that she said she hated him. Travis was very hurt by this, and when the topic came up with Alice herself, he asked her what she thought of their friendship. Alice's story was that she would just not like to have a friend on the outside who let others take advantage of him like the other boys do. Travis informed the cabal of what she had said to him, and they turned on him calling him a traitor for speaking to Alice about what they had told him, questionning his trust in them. (See this blog for what I think of that!)
After all this was put into place, Nobbi then made his dirtiest play to turn the HMs against Travis. While playing Truth or Dare in the spa, Nobbi asked Travis the truth on who was his least favourite Housemate, and then went on to qualify Travis' answer by adding the phrase "based on recent conversations". Travis is now between a rock and a hard place. After the boys' accusation of his disloyalty, he couldn't not name Alice, for fear of further rejection by the boys. If he named Alice, what would the girls think of him. He had been set up by the one he trusted most in there-- Nobbi!
So, being the loyal person he is, Travis sided with Nobbi and the boys and named Alice his least favourite and gave the reasons the boys had planted in his head. This brought Alice to tears, and then brought Travis to tears, much to the unhidable delight of Nobbi who looked like he was about to explode with his love for himself. His usually smug, ugly face that looks like he chases parked cars for a living was beaming.
Travis runs to the sanctuary of the bedroom with Cherry. The inncoent one has now seen the evil side of his HMs. The spa games have ended in tears, and some HMs come to Travis' side, including Ben. The other perpetrators stay in the spa and are questionned by Alice. Ben tries to comfort Travis, however when he leaves Travis tells the girls that Ben was as much behind it as Nobbi and Rory were. The girls know.
Finally, Alice and Travis get together in the bedroom and talk about it. Travis tells her Nobbi's move was very underhanded and I think he now knows not to trust the other boys so much. Alice understands, probably giving him extra credit because he is Travis and probably didn't even see the mess he was getting himself into. The story ended on Alice and Travis making up, but now against the other boys, especially Nobbi.
The fan's reaction to this, and their support for Travis, was later seen on FNL where the crowd actually booed Nobbi as the winner, possibly either told to by the crowd warmup guy, or at least led to by the hosts' comments about the incident.
Hopefully they keep the anti-Nobbi pot boiling for the next 2 weeks, because he may get the chnace to save himself from eviction this week. If he was nominated this week, that would have been the end of him.

BB Goes Green Again
After a whole series last year devoted to saving the planet and resources, BB will slip back into green mode again tonight.
It is part of Channel 10's celebration of World Environment Day: a week-long schedule of green-themed shows and appearances, including Rove, 9am With David & Kim, The Simpsons, Ready Steady Cook, Video Hits, and Good News Week.
Tonight BB makes its contribution by a green-themed (or possibly super heroes themed!) Friday Night Live.
Big Brother Friday Night Live
Friday, June 6: The theme of the show is "superheroes save the world". Big Brother housemates will dress-up as global crusaders and play games involving saving water, green wheelie bins and recycling.
So tune in tonight to watch HMs race to separate their papers from their plastics. It will be a marked change from normal FNL games, usually based on wasting water!
