Big Brother Australia 2021 - Episode 1 - Launch

It's time for another Rumble down under, with a all new mint fresh series of Big Brother Australia and at least 20 housemates, yes TWENTY, for your viewing pleasure
Simple premise really....

1. Pre-recorded from a few months ago
2. No live feed
3. Nominations challenge, and eviction every day
4. Who wins AUSTRALIA decides.

And how wonderful it is to hear the audience back, but then again Australia and New Zealand have kind of handled this COVID pandemic better than other leaders around the world who we won't mention.

Anyway let's get this show on the road, and hopefully have a good series which we will be talking about for the right reasons come the end.

And may I say, the sound of that audience. It is so great to hear that sound of cheering, rather than the irritating whoop whoop we used to get in the UK version near the end of the dark era run, aka Five.

First three in:

Melissa, 33, South Australia
Daniel, 48, Victoria
Nick, 29, Adelaide

Definitely a chic house, love those sofas....Kind of a sofa person myself, and boy could my place do with some new sofas.

First bit of action with Melissa being called to the Diary Room. Same voice as last year I might add. So no Leon again this year. Just a general conversation and welcome for Melissa from the big man, love how he is playing along with this '70 year old Daniel' gag.

I also just love how this Australian Big Brother voice works, and when he speaks everybody listens rather than telling the big man to eff off. Good sense of humour as well.

And the big man pipes up again, calling someone in to which Daniel goes. NOW it's secret mission time, and the big man tells him if he can escape the house without being seen he will get immunity from the first nominations. The big man tells him about a box hidden in one of the rooms under a potted plant. This box contains a button which when pressed leads to the big man's boiler room. He can take one person with him whether they are in the house already or just arriving. He can hide in there and work out who he wants to take with him. Phew, think's that about it.

The next 3 in:

Lil, 26, New South Wales
Carlos, 39, Western Australia
Katie, 27, New South Wales

Speaking of Carlos, he liked one of my summaries for Big Brother Canada, so gets a thumbs up from me already. You're a good man, Carlos.

Next 3:

Renata, 45, Adelaide
Christina, 22, Victoria
Max, 29, Queensland

Sonia trying to encourage a showmance for Christina from the off. Please, no to showmances Sonia.

Holy awkwardness, Katie and Max are a former couple.... 

Next 3:

Sarah, 66, New South Wales
Mitchell, 26, Queensland
Sid, 34, Western Australia

Only 12 in tonight, so they will drip feed the other 8 in over the course of the series

Let the games begin.....

And as far as the twist goes, Daniel has settled on Nick for his accomplice. In short, Daniel and Nick are now immune from nominations.

The big man announces lights off in two minutes....Daniel is seen sneaking off, and has to go and wake up Nick to sneak off to the bunker. Oh bleep, someone else is stirring, this could get sticky.

Thankfully they are not caught, and make their way down a long passage to the big man's boiler room, and he announces they are both safe from today's eviction.

Nick's VT shows he is a dog lover, and that's a tick in the right column for me. Used to have a staffie, well staffie boxer cross. She sadly passed away though in August 2018, so nearly 3 years since she's been gone. I do miss her to this day, 14 is a good innings.

On to Day 2, Melissa says she is missing Daniel and Nick. The big man suggests she tries retracing her steps. While in the garden, Sarah is teaching some meditation in the garden, I really hope Sarah is not going to be a Carole type character as in popular at the start, but gradually took over and wouldn't let anyone breathe without her saying so, and was really loathed when she came out at the end

Back to the present, and the big man says the housemates can make a list of demands to make their stay more comfortable

Demands:

Sarah - Pepper, paprika, cumin and various other ingredients
Christine - Green tea
Max - A ball
Carlos - Coffee and/or Coffee Machine
Mitchell - Music
Sid - Book
Melissa - Lamb

Holy bleep, the big man has definitely delivered with the items, however he also introduces Chippy. So I would assume some of the above are going to be fed to Chippy. Exactly what happens, they are definitely not going to have things easy, as the big man reminds them. Carlos watches on as his coffee machine and coffee is fed to Chippy, and then everyone else's items soon follow down Chippy's gullet.

Oh dear, here we go. Christina now being pushed about a potential showmance with either Max or Mitch. Katie next up and she's noticing about Christina and Max.

Nominations challenge

Literally a case of reach for the stars for everyone except Daniel and Nick, who are looking on from the secret room.

The premise is that the housemates have to climb their 7ft poles, and take a leap of faith to grab their respective bags and drop them onto their respective platforms on the old terra firma. It won't be made easy with each jump getting further away from the platform, and then they have to empty the bags and pile up the tokens on their respective platforms. First to do so gets to make 3 nominations.

And we have a winner in.....RENATA

She is not allowed to discuss her nominations with her fellow houseguests

Straight on to the next day, and Renata is summoned to the Diary Room for her nominations

Nominations

Renata nominates Max, Christina and Melissa. Oh hell yeah, we could be rid of the possible showmance before it even gets serious. Melissa is a bit of a strange one as in nominations, but the other two oh bloody hell yes. 

Eviction

Red chairs for those on the block, and it's the Canada and USA way of voting someone out as in they decide. Obviously as it's pre-recorded....

Sonia reveals about the secret bunker Nick and Daniel were in, cue gasps all round. 

Daniel and Nick have the sole vote, if they choose, to decide who goes home. If they choose not to then nobody goes.

After some deliberation, Nick chooses NOT to vote, but Daniel chooses to vote and he votes to evict MAX. The showmance is nipped in the bud before it even starts, hallejuah!!!!!

Who are these new housemates and what will they bring to this season?
