Big Brother Australia 2020 - Episode 16

Week 6 here we come, and the finish line is in sight for the housemates

Three more to fall, and then the remaining three go to the live finale. But just looking at who's left, feels like who wins who cares at this point

I mean we got Kieran, coasting through on the sympathy vote but then again he is being given such a hard time by the cool kids aka Mat and Daniel, who don't deserve to win and then we have Sarah who has done barely anything to merit winning, and then there's the slowmance of Chad and Sophie. Less said the better.

Anyway, in case you missed it Casey fell at the latest hurdle when her plan for revenge against the slowmance didn't quite work out and she was sent packing. So it's basically bromance (Mat and Daniel) against slowmance (Chad and Sophie) and the neutrals in the middle being Kieran and Sarah

This week it's The White Room. Another task dragged out of mothballs, which has been done on the Australian version before if I remember correctly, and also on the UK version and less said about the UK's attempt the better, let's just say disaster from start to finish.

Hopefully this latest incarnation will provide some suspense and have people talking about it for the right reasons, rather than the wrong ones.

Back to the present, as there is an episode to write about, and Mat and Daniel are boiling mad about their ally Casey being voted out. How dare the others vote out Casey, I don't think. To quote a song line, "It's all about the game, and how you play it...."

They are vowing to take out one of the happy couple, namely Sophie for daring to have a swing vote. 

Fast forward and Kieran corners Daniel for a strategic chat, which may I say bores the pants off Daniel causing him to make a hasty retreat, not too far away and cue more griping which would make Statler and Waldorf from the Muppets proud. It is then decided to try and get Kieran on board to get to Chad. I'm sure Chad will shaking in his boots, or in this case designer shirts.

For today's first challenge, Big Brother rolls out their Power Booth in which housemates will enter at Big Brother's request, and blindfolded. A pink ticket or blue ticket will be caught by the housemate in there. Reminds me of the end game on The Crystal Maze when they have to collect gold and silver tokens, and have to get more gold than silver to win the prize

Pink = Reward
Blue = Punishment for another housemate

Rewards and Punishments

Sarah gave Kieran a punishment of washing the dishes for the rest of the day
Chad gave Kieran a punishment of a disadvantage in the next noms challenge
Mat gave Kieran a punishment of handing over his belongings to BB for the rest of the day
Sophie gave Daniel a punishment of banishing him to the door for the rest of the day
Kieran got a reward of a pizza to himself
Sophie gave a punishment to Sarah for her and Chad to swap clothes

No doubt in real time they were turning the air blue with all these punishments, distinct lack of rewards there

Slowmance talk, and Sophie is paranoid the cool kids are going to come after her and Chad if Mat or Daniel win the upcoming nominations challenge, and she be spot on as that is exactly what the other two plan to do.

And so we move onto the more important challenge of the day as in the nominations challenge and with the top 5 looming, it's all to play for.

Wobble boards and balancing are the key elements here, as housemates have to balance on a wobble board and hold onto a disc on which a ball is placed. If the ball falls off or the housemate steps off their board, they are eliminated from the competition.

As per his punishment given to him by Chad earlier, Kieran has a disadvantage as in he has to make sure two balls don't fall, but it's only one ball off and he is eliminated.

Kieran and Sarah both out early and it's down to bromance v slowmance. Fast forward and Daniel tries to make a deal with Chad for top 3, but Sophie is right there shooting it down and the comp carries on. Shortly afterwards, Daniel falls anyway and it's another comp win for Chad. Yawn, the slowmance continues.

You would think it would dawn on them to try and break up the cool kids, but nope it's the usual bottle job and Kieran ends up on the block along with Mat as a pawn. The stupidity of some of these people really is astonishing. Down to Sarah again I guess to see who goes this time as Sophie and Kieran try to work their 'magic' to see which way she will swing today.

Eviction time again, and here comes the ever lovely Sonia on the screen. She tells them what we knew already, that there is only 3 more evictions to go until the live finale where Australia decides the winner.

7th time of asking Kieran is evicted.....or is he?

As he is making his way out, much like Angela, BB stops him in his tracks and tells him he is not out of the game yet and escorts him to The White Room which is basically Angela's bunker redone.

What he will have to do is to be revealed in due course, so stay tuned as that finish line gets ever closer

To be continued in Episode 17
