Finale Date Set
Monday, July 21 (Day 85) will be the Finale of BB08. And for the first time, 3 HMs will remain in the House until that night. Maybe that's to buy them time to figure out who the actual winner is this year, and avoid a debacle last year.

Get Smart Star Appearances Pre-Recorded
Steve Carell and Anne Hathway's part in FNL tomorrow will not be live. They will be appearing as a pre-recorded interview. Mike Goldman says:
Because they won't be! Oh well. It will be a good tie in with the theme of the week and the winning HM will get to watch Get Smart in the BB cinema, apparently.
Steve and anne will talk about kissing each other, kissing easter island face from get smart, putting pegs on their nipples and having a laugh.
HMs will not know that theyre there.

No Round-the-Clock Tasks This Year
While BB has done pretty well in the task department this year, we still have not seen any 24-hour type tasks like we used to. There have been tasks that they could be called on at any time of day or night, but none where groups of HMs must be on the task in shifts all day and night.
That type of task is good because it tests stamina, as well as gets small groups or pairs of HMs to make conversation non-stop, and creates extra footage for Daily Shows.
In the past we have seen things like BB07's Counting Sheep task, BB07's Soccer task, BB06's Fishing Hole task, BB06's Water Tank task, BB05's Clock task, BB04's famous Orb task where Paul Dyer refused to stand under the watermelon-on-an-electromagnet and catch it if it falls, BB02's Bunker task, and many others that don't come to mind right now.
The Trainspotting task would have been a perfect candidate for this type of task. BB could have just gotten 2 HMs to be on the platform at all times, and sent trains around at all hours of the night, but instead he tells them when it is time for a train.

Where's Mike?
Mike Goldman didn't show up for his "live chat" on the Courier Mail site today at 2pm, even though his post early this morning said he would be. 10 comments have been moderated and added to the blog, but no responses were posted. Maybe there was some voice-over emergency he had to attend to.
Trick to the Train Task?
For this week's Trainspotting task, the HMs have to memorise numbers on the carriage of trains that pass by the BB garden. The numbers they have to memorise on the trains are getting more and more complex. Such random numbers would be most difficult to remember in order for a whole week.
The housemates are doing a good job making up rhymes to remember the numbers, but BB instructed them they could use any method to remember the numbers, but no WRITING was allowed in the House.
I wonder if the trick to the task is that the HMs are supposed to use the digits stuck to the locker room wall to record the numbers of the trains. Or if the numbers of the trains is somewhere within the seemingly random numbers on the wall.
We know the task was planned from the beginning of the series, since one of the teasers was something about planes, trains and automobiles (BB's flight simulator, trainspotting task, and the combi van). Is this the reason for the numbers on the wall?

Rory Not On Par With Nobbi
Newspapers are reporting that Rory is now favourite to be evcited this week, stating he has lost fans because he waved his dick in front of Terri in the showers. They report that this is the same reason Nobbi was evicted last week, so will be Rory's downfall this week.
I think the bookies aren't really thinking about that too well. Nobbi getting his bits out in the spa happened Saturday night, so the majority of fans who only get their updates from the TV shows would not have even known about that event until Kyle and Jackie briefly mentioned it on Sunday night, and it was not fully covered on TV until Monday night after the eviction. So how do they think Nobbi was evicted because of that?
No, Nobbi was evicted for his past 3 weeks' worth of shenanigans, upsetting one HM after another. And his reign over FNL was what kept him in there as long as he was. Nobbi's eviction was the result of viewers' built up frustrations for several weeks.
So, Rory might be going this week, but I would say it's more to do with the others' popularities, not because of anything he did to Terri, or because of any pattern building between him and Nobbi.

Guests Galore: Steve, Anne, Rima, and Pamela!
Plenty more guests left to enter the BB House this year, or at least be involved with the show:
Steve Carrell & Anne Hathaway
Stars of Get Smart will appear live in the Dreamworld Amphitheatre this Friday night for FNL with Mike, Bree & Fitzy, playing games with the hosts. But will they make a House appearance?
Rima
The bandages are off and Rima will be back in the House as a guest from this Sunday night, for an indefinite amount of time. Though she will not compete for the grand prize, she will have a secret mission to accomplish in the House upon her return.
Pamela Anderson
God knows what this is all about, but now Pammy is going to enter the House on Wednesday July 9 during the Surprise Eviction show.
At this rate Dreamworld might as well start letting the theme park guests do tours of the House before the show even finishes. Then they call all be special guests!
