Erk to the Diary Room (Episode 27 - HTB Bones ATB and 2 female Ninjas)
Because we are 5 weeks into BB, I will be doing a massive update/opinion piece to bring my podcast up to date to today and with any luck, this episode (which will be Erk Pod episode 03) will exclusively bring you up to speed if you haven't been watching BB from the start. Also it will be handy for those people who haven't read the previous "Erk to the Diary Room" blogs here on Myspace to get up to date. Also, you can hear my Stand Up Comedy on the same feed and in the future, there will be general opinion pieces as well.
But don't worry, you will still get regular blogging here. Now onto episode 27......
Tuesday night was a massive night which was really badly done by BB.
Considering that we are only 5 weeks into BB, they have gone into intruder mode rather early. We had the original HM's, the White Room, the Starburst winners, Mr X and now 5 weeks in, we have intruders!
However, BB wasn't happy with just giving us new toys to play with. They are trying to rush too much and anyone would be excused for thinking that they are trying to do everything as early as possible in case they get axed.
There was the Daily show and then BB started ATB's 21st birthday. Then what seemed 2 minutes later starting the party, BB asked Mr HTB to go to the DR. So Mr HTB did and he was told that HTB was getting evicted tonight and was had 5 minutes to say goodbye and had no time to pack.
Mr HTB was gutted and went into the backyard and told HTB the news that she guessed by looking at his face. So after asking BB out loud from the yard if HTB had time to change, BB said no. Normally, the DR is the only place to ask BB a question and his usual answer is "I'll get back to you".
So after BB hit HTB in the arse with the eviction door (go on Gretel, use THAT one!) it was time for ATB's party to continue. Then seemingly 2 minutes later, BB stopped the party again and said that there were a couple of Ninja servants but don't talk to the Ninjas (great idea for a t-shirt, that!). Then without giving the Ninjas (who were actually the intruders dressed as Ninjas) a chance to do much and to see if the HM's would tell that the Ninjas weren't actually Ninjas at all, BB revealed that they were intruders. Of course, there was the "Intruder Alert" siren but I didn't see "Intruder Alert" on the TV screens because they were outside.
But of course, the HM's knew that an Intruder Alert means that a BB sanctioned intruder and not a person trying to break into the joint and BB told them straight away. He could at least told themselves to lock themselves down or something. So then it was back to the party and introducing the intruders around the house at the same time and then shortly after it was time to break up the party AGAIN (!) to show HTB's "Message from the Grave".
Memo to self: Do not let BB organise a party or a function for me.
BBB (Big BB) sounds like he is SO not interested no matter what the situation is. CBB (Chick BB) has been getting a lot of airtime this year even for stuff like announcing tasks and even she sounds a bit bored but she sounds less like a zombie compared to BBB.
As far as I am concerned, BB tried to throw too much in during one night. HTB has been a major person in the house and regardless if you like her or not, she did not deserve the eviction she got with a handful of people there. Gretel promised her a "proper eviction" (my term, not hers) on Sunday but that is not the point. HTB could have went on Sunday prior to the evictee or they could have announced that HTB was the only evictee or something different. But they could have done it a lot better and then went back to the house, got Mr HTB's reaction etc.
Like her or not, ATB deserved a proper 21st party and there was no need for either HTB to exit or for the intruders to enter tonight. Turning 21 is a big thing (even if to me, ATB seems immature) and BB's actions weren't good, especially when you are struggling for viewers and struggling for interesting content. I don't think that switching between 3 distinct plot lines in that short period was very good at all.
Was BB thinking at all? Does BB care? Will the intruders improve the house? Did anyone notice that I haven't mentioned or introduced the intruders yet? 2 brunette chicks that look (and act?) like the rest of the female population of the house except they aren't blonde. There was not a lot of time to figure out them during this show, especially considering the parallel plot lines. I'll reserve judgement on them for a little bit but one of the chicks reckons she is a greenie but it is rumoured that she isn't the big hippie she says she is and the other chick has a Brazilian......oops, she is Brazilian.......oops she was born in Brazil but moved to Australia and she doesn't have a hot Brazilian accent. And she dances. She could be dancing against DWNT very very shortly as intruders do not have a good record of a long stay in the house, Vesna being a notable exception from a couple of seasons ago.
So where to for BB now that he has played the intruder card so early?
