Big Brother 2005 Week One

8 May 2005
A new series of Big Brother begins. My first impressions of the housemates:
  • Constance, the hair-dresser, is a bit of a wog girl, but might be a bit too in your face
  • Christie, the surfie-girl seems a little up herself
  • Michelle, a snobby girl based on the accent, the home and car in the package
  • Dean, strong boy, thinks he is funny but wants to stir the housemate which isn't always a great thing
  • Kate seems the most normal girl so far, most average, but not in a bad way
  • Logan comes across a little sleazy and another wannabe stirrer
  • Angela may be a mother figure but comes off as man-hungry (or desperate)
  • Glenn, the country boy, who's accent isn't helping him come across as an intellectual
  • Gianna, sporty and short, reminds me of people I've known through work
  • Tim, brainy, snobbish?
  • Nelson is a blokey bloke, another country boy, but not as country as Glenn
  • Michael is in there as the alternative bloke, bald, nose ring. He also thinks he's funny
  • Geneva, a bar girl, (reminds me of Kellie and Brooke from work) out to be out there
  • Hotdogs (Simon), way too into himself and over confident, bit of a show off
  • The hooded 15th housemate... a twin. Ah. So no mole as such, rather a literal impostor, interesting this could be a lot of fun

Day two in the house and of those who received some focus tonight: Kate still reminds me of someone but I'm liking her more. I'm liking Nelson less. Tim and Chrissie still annoy me. I'm missing the separate Kitchen. I liked that the last two series had the little kitchen to split the housemates up, somewhere to go and hang out, especially since the bedrooms were merged.

Poor Logan. Swapped back and under interrogation from the other housemates, particularly Constance, for the diary room visits. He seems to have been through a quite patch today but come out tonight. He blames it on being 'a bit crook'. No butt shots when they got changed tonight though. Obviously bare male buttocks is an after 7:30 thing.

Kate and Nelson don't get along, but they're very vocal about it. Nelson admitted tonight that Kate reminds him of his ex. Something could come of this, except for Nelson wanting to be the farter. 'Who likes the farter?' Michelle gets a surprise birthday party but not before sooking about not having her birthday celebrated. This reminded me of my own forgotten birthday. One little mini-group may be forming between Constance, Geneva, Dean and Nelson but we'll see through eliminations. The Logan's have swapped again but without any obvious notice, however kissing Michelle in a spa-based game of spin the bottle could bite them. In a familiar double standard for Ten a kiss between two of the girls gets a lot more airtime, including the coming up preview, than a kiss between Michael and Logan that's they show through angles that obscure it as much as possible.

The resolution of this week's task was a little strange. It wasn't the sort of personal questions I was expecting and thus I didn't even realise it was the task at first. I thought it was some other sort of game. In the sauna Kate admits to liking Tim but not finding him attractive. I know that can change, and she's going to give it time too it appears.

The challenge was fun. The hosting from the set was a little lame, but it was nice to see Bree again. The challenges were rather Survivor style, except Survivor never had motorised vehicles. Christie was hilariously bad. The final challenge was supposed to be a mental challenge but it was them hanging from a pole. That's a physical challenge. Good on Shearer to win. Seems the reward room is the waiting room but with more furniture. I think there remains another secret room between it and the diary room though.

No daily show today. No show at all, except for the up late show continuing on from Friday night. I out it on while I was reading. A bunch of housemates were having a jolly old time in the spa continuing that kissing game. Logan (not sure which one it is right now) could be in trouble, his scar's missing! Christie is paying some close attention to his face, running her hand along both side of this forehead and his nose. Possibly they were all too drunk to have noticed. There talk about nominations was obviously going too far so it was no surprise when Big Brother called all housemates to the diary room.

Big Brother is evicting Nelson, Constance and Dean. I went "what oh!" just like the housemates. They've been taken to the waiting room, which has three cots made up. That's harsh. What will happen next? Nelson was very honest about not being in the show for the experience but "for the goodies". That honesty's enough to make me like him more.

Glen has picked up on different vibes from Logan and in the diary room gets to meet Greg and David together. The look on his face is priceless. He's so blown away by it, glad he was right but still taken aback to see that the man he knew was two men.

Out he goes but it's cut off too early. The most we see is people cheering them (I wouldn't know who to cheer for.. which one of these have I been speaking too... I've been speaking to both!) Gianna is looking a little shell-shocked and based on how close she was getting to Logan in bed last night that's understandable.
