Here ya go...the direct link prob works better. http://www.bigbrother.com.au/pictures/334285/meet-big-brother-housemate-tahan.slideshow Hopefully she doesn't have Aaryn disease and ends up becoming uglier and uglier based on her personality.

Finished watching Ep.1 of BBAUS...the format is TOTALLY different...I guess this was the original format, the one that started in the Netherlands and has become so huge in the UK. The pace is a big dragged out, but the casting was PERFECT. How can a country/continent with so much less diversity than what we have here assemble a cast that is FAR more interesting that this year's BB USA? Anyway...this may be the most beautiful contestant I've ever seen on any season of Big Brother...anywhere in the world... Tahan.htm

In case anyone wants to keep up with it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DEwp-tFD4c

That would have been a great time to take up cat punting.

arrrrrgh....c'mon Rubes!!

It really is! I just can't get over how these people take EVERYTHING personally and just have no tolerance for game play. I think i've even only heard like two or three of them talk about past seasons... Elissa can't be bothered to participate in the game...she's too busy doing yoga all over the house.

That would explain a lot...I've just never seen a cast like this before.

Great stuff, Mike! I grew up about 5mi away from Pittsford , so it's really nostalgic to think of them having camp there now...look forward to your future reports!

If the hole was caused by some sort of gas, I can think of a few suspects. Well, okay, not a few. It was Lana.

It's really held up well, too...I can't believe it came out 14 years ago!! That's really amazing to me. But all three were on a couple months ago and I enjoyed the first one just as much as ever. Honestly feels like it's still brand new to me. Might be best to just leave it that way lol

Yeah, the Aaryn deal was an opportunistic move for her...no argument there. I'm glad she's now saying she wants to get rid of Elissa...WOW is she a flake. She has to be the dumbest player ever to be on this show. It's like her mom's Uterus was completely sucked dry when Rachel was in the oven, and the cupboard was totally barren once Elissa took up residence. It looks to me like Candace has taken over the crying role now...isolating herself because the world is evil and basking in her own misery...who cast this damn season???

Well, it just so happens that the BB start time in Australia is 5am EST here...so since I've been having a hard time sleeping, I figured I'd fire up the Sopcast link that someone posted on the Jokers forums. Watching episode 1 live as we speak...this is incredibly different than the US version. The audience is HUGE and you can hear them as they all watch the events together. The introduce the housemates one by one and watch as they enter the house for the first time. The BB house is SICK! It's absolutely massive. And they have a twist where the house is literally divided, splitting it into a "luxury" side and a "dingy" side. The dingy side has no hot water, small beds, and they can only eat stale bread and water apparently. The third housemate is entering now, but I'm about to head off to bed...hopefully youtube will have a nice quality episode 1 waiting for us later today. And also, how can BB Australia have HD cams for their show, yet the American version is still in the dark ages with the SD? Pretty lame, BB... Nite all PS...Housemate #3..."Tahan"...holy WOWZA!

Looks like BB Australia starts tonight...I'll post a youtube vid of the first episode if I find a good quality one in case anyone else is interested in following that season. I've heard that BBUK and BBAUS are both really good, so looking forward to checking it out.

Bills fans who have been around a while should be used to our stud DE being AWOL at camp...as long as the results are there when the live bullets fly, I'm good.

LOL!!

Go for it...seriously, I'd really like to hear anyone's take on the 2nd and 3rd films.

Lion King live was frickin amazing.

Yeah I don't watch the live feeds other than BBAD, which I hate this year since it's on a regular cable channel and not Showtime. It's ridiculous to have a live feed where you have to use a delay and mute the language...just put the damn thing back on a pay channel. I'll have to take your word on the helen thing, cause I have yet to see her do ANYTHING that would constitute strategy. All I've seen her do is cry, B word and moan about the "bad people", and how she wants to see a "good person" win the show...so I guess if you consider endless whining to others who are also fellow whiners who are easily butt hurt, then she's a brilliant Big Brother player and deserves to win the game lol. To me, she's a glorified floater, and if the make up of the house were different (i.e. fewer butt hurt whiners), we wouldn't even be having this discussion. Agree about the Topaz thing. That was clearly a huge mistake. I thought Topaz was far smarter than they gave her credit for, in addition to her "hubba hubba" good looks. Maybe Peter is closeted and felt threatened? I dunno...Topaz was awesome, though. I don't know if you listen to the Rob Cesternino podcast, but he has Peter on Sunday Nights and they have a great camaraderie...I enjoy those shows far more than when he has on Ian "I love to perv on women when they're in the shower and make inappropriate comments to them" Terry. Also agree about the social games of Jeremy, Nick and Kaitlyn...I just like having active players in the game, whether I like them or not. I hate when people just sit around, which is what I fear helen's master plan is. Jesse is crappy....agreed.

What about when you're "hunting" the perfect bottle of Pinot Noir for that special night with Mrs Mead?

Wow, I've never heard that one James...I was reading the lyrics as he sang...just an amazing talent.

Well, Amanda, Howard, and Judd are in the group that I'm indifferent to, but I'm not rooting for any of them. Usually by this time of the season I've settled in on a favorite or two and I find myself rooting for them to get to the end, make big moves, etc. This year I just don't seem to really care. I still want to see the episodes, and I'm glad the ratings are going back up, but coming off BBCanada this season just pales in comparison. It's getting annoying that not ONE person in the house can STFU lol. These are like the anti-BB house guests, cause alliances crumble at the drop of a hat and nobody is legitimately loyal to anyone else. The closest thing to a loyal alliance would be Pizza Boy and Amanda, but PIzza Boy has been fully assimilated by his "Queen" and basically just sits around all day. In a way, I hope Amanda gets booted this week so this dork actually has to play the game. YOu really think Helen deserves MVP vote? Helen is completely intolerant of strategy and people playing the game. If she were using that as some sort of strategy, I'd be all for it, but she's clearly not. She wants all the girls to sit around having nail parties and talking about which color panties they're going to buy next time they go to the mall. She's an awful player, IMO. At least Judd has TRIED to get some things going...he has nothing but crap to work with, though, so I feel for the guy. I found the BBCan cast FAR more likable and diverse, for one. Gary always kept it interesting and that guy could be an animal at challenges. That hot little european firecracker who always drank too much was hilarious. Peter Brown was easily my favorite player...the guy was loving his time there and he was ALWAYS making moves behind the scenes. Jillian was a complete twat, so having her as to root against was great...when she paired up with Emmett it resulted in a much stronger alliance, so she immediately became a bigger threat. And hell, what's not to like about a talking moose head? Yeah, thus far I'd rank BBCan way above this season of BB USA. Still early, but you've already got some of the most active players out of the house...I'm not confident that the remaining players will really do anything all that great.

Well, so much for that...Elissa has succeeded in annoying the hell out of me now, as well. I've never seen a cast on BB in all these years where I either disliked or was annoyed by every single cast member. I've also never seen a cast that was so intolerant of the fact that others may DARE to actually play the game. I don't get these people at all... Hopefully the episodes for BB Australia will be up on youtube just like the BBCanada episodes were, and then that cast will actually play the game like it's supposed to be played...this is getting lame.

So Superfeet are crap then? I don't have any emotional attachment to this product, so just come out with it There's no way I could ever beat you in the fetish game, JB
