Off we go again, citizens, as the end gets a step closer....
Everywhere gets more feisty whether it is something production have done, or what the housemates have done
We get started with more crappy punishments which of course the housemates don't take seriously, as in hot water and hair appliances off and the hot tub out of bounds.... No wonder the housemates laugh all the time, when they know they can break a rule or two and can get some airtime with a puerile punishment
Time for another Elsa in Fantasy Land where she talked to Jenny about demons, needless to say it caused Jenny and others to be open mouthed. How did Elsa pass the psych test to get in there, answers on a postcard please.
Speaking of fantasy worlds, Sam got it into his head that Zelah had a crush on him. Oh please, not another manufactured nomance for this series. Moving swiftly on, and the mini mart was open for business, with a phone call from home and more importantly a Save and Replace up for grabs for the highest bidder.
After 2 weeks immune, Caroline was first to bid for the Save and Replace while the majority of them were only thinking about their stomachs, leaving the way open for Caroline to get a third week of immunity. In my opinion, she should have been ineligible to go for it as she's just had 2 weeks immunity. But hey ho, what does it matter as BB are happy to ignore the little things. Speaking of ignoring stuff, Jenny bought the phone call from home, and proceeded to ask her mum on who to be careful of.
Shame BB are ignoring the things that make this show important, and taking it down a very dark route which effectively killed the second era of the show
3 guesses to who her mum said, yep it was Caroline. That little thing called outside information, the bane of every series where it happens.
However, the pizza party that was bought was strewn with rule breaks when BB asked them to return the leftover pizza. Everyone except Richard and Cameron were punished, as in the previously mentioned hot water blah blah blah, and also everyone except the above two had to return their food bought from the mini mart, but Caroline got to keep her Save and Replace. What's up with that, seriously?
In case you missed it, it was face to face nominations for Week 5
Richard, Farida and Tate were originally on the chopping block, but Caroline used her Save and Replace
on Tate, choosing Zelah to replace him. Seems pretty straight forward to who will go. Oh and it's a Double Eviction. With only 3 up, doesn't make sense. Then again not much about this series has made sense production wise.
Nancy, Sam and Caroline then discussed who would win... One hint to you three, it won't be any of you.
ANOTHER rule break to report as Sam was a naughty boy in hiding some honey, and being made to douse himself in honey. Another puerile punishment for the books.
Farida was given a secret mission to make them believe she has had a string of jobs which included a zookeeper, hand model, martial arts instructor and lollipop lady. Needless to say she passed and it won the housemates a takeaway each. Guess they had to give her something to do in case she leaves in the double, but what about Richard and Zelah. Do they get to do something as well? Stay tuned....
On to the latest task, refuse to call it shopping task as the budget is irrelevant pass or fail, and Bad Brother have taken over. Apparently they have to pass 'tests' to win keys to free Big Brother from the crate in the garden.
Farida, Richard and Teja have been selected as Bad Brother's henchmen..... No Zelah as the third henchman? No? Shouldn't he be getting some airtime as he is on the block after all?
Anyway, lots of gunge, Emily's 'letter from home' getting shredded, and many menial tests later and shock horror, they find the right key to get Big Brother out of the crate and the luxury budget is theirs. £1000 no less, wish I had that much to spend on food.
They should know by now they will get their letters anyway if they are still there near to the end, so no big deal.
On to Halloween, and no marking it this year apart from the task previously mentioned and the party they received. 13 about to become 11, and once again this Sam and Zelah nonsense takes up most of the show, along with 'bowlgate' where Sam didn't clean up his bowl of beans, which in turn set Tate off. More airtime for Sam, even though he does not deserve it.
On to said party, they got ANOTHER takeaway along with the party. Like a hotel for this lot. Outside information on tap, parties without earning them. Of course it wouldn't be the UK version without some shit stirring thrown in, and they didn't disappoint but it didn't affect the party too much.
To finish things off, Tate put the dampeners on a last minute showmance with Emily with the no chemistry. One showmance is enough and THAT needs to be knocked on the head. 11 left with 2 weeks to go, almost certainly a few flash evictions coming up I would think to get those numbers down.
Eviction time, and it's Farida and Zelah as expected who are shown the door, Richard lives to fight another week and is another step closer to possibly being the new oldest civilian winner in the UK version.
Still sad there have been no Welsh housemates this year, fingers crossed for next year. Hopefully all those rumours about the live feed being chopped are just that. But just lately it does feel the feed is being phased out with all the unnecessary birdsong. Not allowed to hear anything with the excuse of saving it for the highlights, or the usual excuse of it being too expensive? Answers on a postcard, please
Into the penultimate week we go, bang average series but it is flying by, and nearly time to say g'day to the next coming of BB Australia... Original voice, 24/7 feed, all the bells and whistles that made it great back in the day. May write about it, watch this space.
Anyway, that is enough rambling for Week 5.... Hope you enjoyed reading this current effort, and pass it on to others if you wish, and as always enjoy, complain or both. YOU decide.
'Nuff said, and keep on rocking
Until next time...
