Erk to the Diary Room (Episode 31 - Jamie cracks it, Oz FNL, Eviction 5 Preview)

We were trundling along when BB finally finally fired up for the week on Thursday night on Up Mike with Late. This week, they have been doing a Bollywood production and eating Indian. If that isn't enough (and surely that is!), there was a variation of the old Masters and Servants task as well. The actors were the masters and the extras were the servants. And boy oh boy, didn't some people in general but ETB in particular hate being a servant!


But the biggest crack of the week was Jamie the Nerd. On Thursday night, BB decided to throw the actors a party in the Rewards Room while the extras were outside. In possibly the longest time that ATB has been away from ETB, ATB finally has shown some independant form of life after having some booze. So her and Jamie the Nerd and Mr HTB were having a discussion about how Jamie sits around and analyzes people. ATB said that she likes fun Jamie but not nerd Jamie. But I think that if that is who nerd Jamie is, that is who he is. In the end, ATB kept going, Jamie kept going and both of them ended up in tears even though Jamie fired up and shouted "I AM NOT CRYING!" - I think the fallout will continue until at least nominations on Monday.


Anyhoo, FNL was not Indian night as I thought it would have been given the task this week but it was Outback Night. The tasks were pretty much the same as usual but there were some funny bits where the HM's had to make human damper and ETB got penalised for not finishing the wheelchair mounted dunny race properly. But come on BB if someone cheats like ETB did by not finishing and getting out of her chair to pull the finishing string, you penalise her arse more than 5 seconds!

In the first event, they finally realised that the second team gets a huge advantage by watching the first team. So the second team didn't see the first team and it worked well except it lasted for only one game. Then it was situation normal. Also, Laura was the last person picked and wasn't allowed to play until BB needed someone to even up the second last game. So instead of saying simply that she could play like everyone else in that situation, BB said that she had to eat a witchity grub first. So Laura did eat the grub eventually (she is SO not a hippie!) and she made it through to the final but Billy won and took Zoltan into the Rewards Room. All my usual comments about FNL remain, it goes on too long and the games are very similar each week.


Finally, it is time to predict who is going to be evicted tomorrow. It has been hard because on the daily show at least, you have hardly seen STB or RTB so the main potential evictee that has been seen is Jamie the Nerd and after Thursday night's outburst, I think he might go but I would not be surprised if STB goes for simply being a mirror loving princess.
