Big Brother 2005 Week Eight

27 June 2005
Dean so needed to go yesterday he's leading the boys and it's not a good thing. Today the boys, still in their boys room are being rather mean about Christie. Sure she might be annoying to live with, but their comments were getting cruel and she would have been devastated to hear them. Instead Geneva left which upset Chrisite but left the house with an even bigger difference in the ratio of women to men. Five people up for nominations thanks to Kate saving Christie rather than herself. It better be one of the guys (Hotdogs, Glenn or Dean) that go.

The housemates are going back to school complete with uniforms and class band. The housemates have got new d?cor in their bedroom making the split boys and girls room official. The swearing in uniform thing it going to be tough for the housemates to avoid. David's already had two sets of lines, and Christies had another. Dean's being a bit too dominant, now insisting on penalising the housemates for getting fines. Gotta vote him out. Vesna's finding another thing to complain about, her uniform being a size too big.

The school task is fun but with them sitting in school uniforms answering questions it brings to mind the ads for 'The Housemates Challenge' on Sale of the Century five years back. David and Glen both got sent to the Dunce corner and several of them got lines. They had a rain day, stuck inside with the rain, and Vesna was a bit too energetic for the others leading a new group of the in-house superheroes (there's some ideas for the next eviction dressup kiddies).

The school kids got detention for having messy dormitories. The history lesson was tough for nearly all the kids. Does anybody in class know the answer besides Tim? The band needs a lot more practice. They're not taking the school room stuff very seriously, I wonder how success in this task is going to be measured? Rita, Heath, and Melanie have entered the house. Not sure if the existing housemates really needed to see the videos. Melanie and Christie are like a day apart in age and clicking. The girls and the boys are bonding, the girls over gossip and later a group sauna, well except Dean and David who are having a separate debrief in the sauna and then in the lounge. Lots of little conversations going on though around the house about the new housemates and first impressions.

A group of new school kids joined the class for their final day in a darkened classroom thanks to problems caused by Queensland's bad weather. Tim and the Logans got in trouble for language and were given punishments. The Logans had to empty a bucket of water into another bucket by spoon. Tim got to use his dormant writing skills in preparing an essay on the wrongs of swearing. At night the housemates had a school formal where classmates got to go on dates. Much was made of Heath choosing Kate to be his date, slow dancing and kissing her. There was also much kissing between partnered Hotdogs and Vesna.

The Intruders got to skip straight to the second round of the games tonight. The others got another carry an item task, this time sushi with chopsticks. The second round, with a blindfolded rickshaw rider carrying around a blindfolded passenger while a third housemate guided them. This led to an accident where one of the drivers, Melanie I think (or maybe Rita?) kept running over the finishing line straight into the wall! The third round was hilarious. The housemates were up against an industrial sized fan and had to get right to the end to fetch something tied to a post. Greg, Heath and Christie put up a good effort but they were being blown over, backwards and sideways, hindered by the large bits of fabric tied to their backs. In the end, Greg won and, after being told his brother would be going into the rewards room with him be default, chose Hotdogs to spend the weekend with them.

Kate likes Greg and it's getting out there thanks to Vesna going out and asking Greg directly if he has any feelings for her. It's probably an after effect of the school task making her sound like a schoolgirl. The task is finished off with a general knowledge class, the performance of the national anthem (not too bad considering), and a swimming carnival. And on the eviction show Shearer goes. Bit unfair to spring Michelle on him, He clammed up, understandably, as Michelle had a justified go at him. High percentage of the vote though, 49%, for a week with five people up.
