Big Brother 2006 Week Two

7 May 2006
Dino and Claire bond by being in the rewards room and bathing together. Dino doesn't think she's as stuck up or as dorky as he initially suspected. Ashley flat out doesn't find her attractive at all. Meanwhile Dino is the talk of other people too, both David and Karen very unhappy with how aggressive he was in the games. When Michael hears this he runs to Dino to tell him. Somehow, despite being very laid back Dino has become the alpha male in the house, and Michael is clearly trying to keep his favour. With David gay, Gaelen the funny one (so say the evictees), Jaimie caught up with Katie, Michael busy being a mole, and the others just boys, the role was his to grab, but does he realise he rules the roost?

Michael and Elyse talk about what they wanted to get out of the house, and for Michael that included a girlfriend. While he's succeeded this week as the Insider, his antics as such are hurting any chances with the ladies. The girls already think he's a player for being the age he is and not having long term relationship. A short term relationship was the friendship between Anna and Camilla. Since coming back from the Rewards Room the two have quickly become unfriendly again with a big argument over fines. Meanwhile Katie doesn't think anything will last with Jaimie as she thinks he has eyes for other girls in the house.

Fines are no laughing matter for Big Brother, the house has lost $300,000 so far. The punishment room has been revealed and Michael is the first to be sent there. He's given an Amazing Race style task, sorting 10,000 pins and needles into 5,000 pins and 5,000 needles. He's determined it's not going to break him though.

Down on the farm his week for the Friday games. Instead of going straight in to teams the HMs play a musical chairs type game where the person who doesn't get one of hidden items goes out. They then get to divide into teams based on their own choice and play as normal. It gets down to the final two chasing a remote control chicken and Dino takes it out over Claire, but takes the loser with him into the reward room.

5 May 2006
Ashley gets punished to stand for three hours for derogatory comments towards Big Brother. Katie and Jamie are getting pretty close which is a focus of today's installment. They are the first couple this year but will they be the last? Jamie is annoyed by the unintelligence displayed by Ashley. Michael tries more sabotage, destroying some balloons, but he's taking an awful long time in there. The others are seeing that he's dodgy.

4 May 2006
Dino observes that WW3 in BB6 has begun, with Camilla and Anna on one side and Tilli and Krystal on the other. Katie falls into the former camp and Karen follows her daughter in the second. Claire's worried she falls somewhere between the cracks. The fight really is between Anna and Krystal and then sort of separately Tilli and Camilla. Elise is nowhere to be seen. The girls try to make up after the family dinner, but it seems forced smiles and face saving.

While Ashley and Jaimie discuss the latter's kiss with Katie, Katie discusses it with Anna. Both are unsure what to do next, but it's going to get weird. Katie's not even sure if she wants to share the bed with him anymore.

3 May 2006
Michael stays up late in the morning to sabotage the task. But this works against him because when the damaged umbrella is found Dino is quick to recognise him as the most likely culprit. Michael's still in bed having had such a late night and when pushed about it he's very defensive.

The girls in the revenge room get the housemates up very early for an all in effort in the week's clowning task. For John's 21st BB throws him a Brazilian themed party complete with a special present: the return of Anna and Camilla. Krystal and especially Tilli aren't impressed. The guys don't seem all that phased in comparison, but Tilli has the claws out.

Jamie and Katie become the first to passionately kiss in the house.

2 May 2006
Tilly gets her tearful outburst out of the way after comments about her and David were acting are made by Camilla and Karen.

Michael guesses the relationship wrongly, Gaelan and Anna aren't the two. When Krytsal reveals that Karen is her mum the house is in roars of surprise, except Michael who is completely quiet and looks shocked and upset. This lasts a minute or two before he puts a face on and starts being loud. Is it because of he failed the task and is up for eviction... or because of the feelings happening between them?

Asked to vote for the most annoying housemates, David shatters my hopes by voting for Dino because of his homophobic attitudes. Anna and Camilla are given the boot but end up in the Revenge Room. They have to cause as much havoc as possible in the house by taking their revenge on the housemates that voted them out

Re-entering the house while all housemates are called to the diary room, they sneak in, take toilet paper and put itching powder in the beds but it goes pretty much unnoticed.

1 May 2006
Dino is punished for talking without his microphone by sorting out 500 nuts and bolts. Despite this they keep playing a game of dares. John now dares Dino to call Dani 'Pumpkin' all day. Good example of how the housemates entertain themselves in the house. The girls decide to pay them back by stealing all their doonas and blankets. Gaelan, John and Jaimie get in trouble when they enter the girl's bedroom to get them back, breeching the rules of the week's task. Surprisingly the housemates are told that it's a double eviction and that the viewers have chosen who they think is under the radar increasing the number of housemates up this week.
