Big Brother 2005 Week Ten

11 July 2005
The girls are turning against Rita now because of her know-it-all and tell-it-all attitude. David and Vesna have it out a bit, with a relapse late out by the spa. David reckons that maybe he treats her too much like a bloke and will have to watch it (the way he does with Christie). With Hotdogs gone, Vesna's sad and the boys are realising that they're outnumbered. For nominations the Logans had to choose between saving themselves or Kate or Rita, and obviously they saved themselves, putting Dean and Tim up for nomination.

Christie has for $10 bought back all the toiletries the housemates had to give up and the girls are going crazy over them (more so than the Pringles and Tim tams). Vesna is particularly in a good mood but Dean and his follower David are also happy with the hair gel. The boys have a game of cricket (until David hits a 6) and then work out at the gym. The girls meanwhile test the boy's cologne (Kate doesn't like the one that her gay boyfriend used to wear) and have a day of beauty treatments. Up late, Tim and Kate are discussing their relationship again, Tim likes Kate and is attracted to her, Kate likes Tim but is not attracted to him. Yes, again!

The girls are dominating the house and tonight the show. Rita and Michelle and Christie have a heated discussion in the kitchen over lunch. Rita really doesn't know when to shut up. Dean walks in and quickly walks out but when he mentions it outside Vesna heads in to join in. Kate follows but keeps a distance. There are tears and trips to the bedroom. Rita tells Christie to be more confronting and Christie does leaving Vesna in tears. The boys meanwhile don't know what to make of it, and Tim seems to have vanished altogether (maybe he's in the isolation room?).

After their discussion yesterday Vesna has decided to confront the Logans. Today she's really going after David who is indeed not taking confrontation well. They don't usually mention the website on the show but Vesna's trip to the diary room to write an online diary entry about what she thinks of the other housemates. Claiming she wrote something deep about the Logans but not wanting to talk about it caused a bit of grief between her and David. She also has a heart to heart with Greg who tries to defend being one part of a two part whole but doesn't do it very well.

The girls are the focus again. Tonight Rita's angry over being called a bitch last night by some of the girls, but none of the girls can remember actually saying that. Christie is determined that she doesn't like Rita and is second guessing picking her as the Intruder to stay. In the real world she wouldn't have anytime for her but Christie doesn't seem to understand that in the real world you're often put into situations, mostly through work, where you have to get to know people you don't like.

A snow theme for the games last night. The first game was rather simple, four people per team on one set of skis having to in time step around and grab some balls. In the second round they brought back the fan but added a Survivor-esque puzzle which could only be assembled after one team member faced the fan several times. Looked like Christie was going to have too much trouble putting together the igloo to pull through, but she and Greg pulled it off. The last round was a time-trial race but this one put Christie and Greg into giant penguin costumes struggling to get around a couple of slippery obstacles. Greg got pulled up and had to start again for not going upright. (It was good to see BB put some time penalties into play this week). Watching the penguins suits stumbling around was pretty funny. Christie wasn't going very well and didn't complete it, stopping when she went over Greg's time. The others came over to help her up and she did only to faint seconds later. Quick cut away to the studio and when we next saw her she was being helped to a chair by the ninjas and Rita and given water due to overheating.

With the Logans in the rewards room the girls have noticed that Dean's lost without them. Dean though is getting a headache from Rita asking Vesna if she ever shuts up. Vesna comments that she's silent in comparison, and being frank tells Rita as she passes that Dean wants her to be quiet. In the rewards room David takes the couch so Greg and Christie can have the bed. They kiss after the lights go out and the next day Christie's quite happy to have restarted their relationship, nervously asking him in to the room to watch a movie. The tap dancing routines were actually quite impressive for amateurs, with Dean, David and Mel winning a group reward of a special Thai dinner.
