Erk to the Diary Room (Episode 23 - Erk goes to Reno ....... and something about intruders)

Yesterday, something happened that I have been looking forward to in a while. No, there wasn't female nudity in the BB house. No, the show didn't get interesting for the first time this week. Even though both of those things would be nice (especially the latter), the best entertainment for me this week didn't happen in front of the TV but at a stand up comedy gig at the Sando on Monday night and also at the movies watching Reno 911: Miami yesterday. There is a review of the movie in another blog as well as a review of the Sando action in an earlier blog called "Erk's Excellent Weekend". I will be going to the Sando on Monday night again and I might even be able to perform but that won't be confirmed until Monday arvo. Either way, I'll have to tape BB noms on Monday night and watch it later which is a better way to watch it. Ok, it's time to get off the Segway and over to another BB Blog.



This next few days will really be important to the BB producers, Channel 10 and the HM's. Tonight is the fatigue management version of FNL where HM's try to stay awake while riding a Segway around the arena because they have been on a lack of sleep task this week where they were allowed to only have 21 hours sleep for most of the week.


On Sunday comes the hardest to pick eviction so far. ETB, Demet and Zoltan are up for eviction and as I said in the previous episode, anyone could go. On Monday night is noms again and wait for what is coming Tuesday........











..............it is so exciting and it hasn't been done so far.................





























................. this year.









That's right, we have had Mr X, the original Starburst winners (STB and Zoltan), the winner of the White Room thingo (Demet) and the latest Starburst winner (Nick) in addition to the original HM's and only one month in...........

(sorry folks, just had a flashback to around 1985 and using 10 code at Super K-Mart on a Commodore 64 to fill the screen with text......I blame T Martin and E Kavalee for the flashback after today's ep of "Get This" on Triple M where they reminded primary school kids in the studio about things that existed before they were born. My 10 code is a distant memory but it is pretty close)

That's right, the BB producers are pulling out their big guns - Intruders. I wonder if they'll put a blonde chick in there. That's exactly what the house needs, a backstabbing skinny blonde chick with a boob job. They seem to have gone for intruders rather early this year and that is because they are struggling and they know that many more weeks like this and the only people watching will be family members of the HM's. Seriously, there has been more action on the SMS sex chat line services that are advertised in the ad breaks during Up Mike with Late this week. I am not sure that intruders that fit the mould of the stereotypical HM will be what they need.


Here's a hot tip - put someone in that are interesting! Put some people in that will make the show worth watching because I want to rather than because I want to see what happens rather than watching it out of habit and needing something to write about. It doesn't matter if the intruders aren't hot, aren't blonde, aren't a re-incaration of every type of HM that has ever lived!


You can see 35 minutes of Gretel crapping on and 5 minutes of intruders going into the house on Tuesday or you can tape it and watch it later and save 35 minutes. That's what I'll be doing for FNL tonight!


Myspace friends: Steady at 121
Standup Update: Recording intro piece tomorrow, hopefully
BB Update: Intruders are coming! HM's doing f**k all!
