Erk to the Diary Room (Episode 36, Travo meets Zacho, ETB is human, Noms 7 review)

During episode 36, I mentioned that the second intruder would be going in during Up Mike and Bree on Sunday night. And that show in itself was interesting and due to a technical issue (someone fuddling wuth the swutch?), the HM's heard and saw a bit of Up Mike during the first brainteaser. They saw that the time was 2310 EST and that they knew that the first brain teaser's answer was Lara. The male HM's also thought that Bree looked hot (duh! Have they been locked in a house for 7 weeks? LOL).


Then there was the voices from the grave from the two evictees and ATB (the only original female HM) and the Brazilian and Lara had a heated discussion in relation to bitchiness and ETB and talking about people behind their back and poor ATB could not see any fault in the recently departed ETB.


Speaking of poor person, Zacho was kept in the Rewards Room until about 3 minutes to midnight and Up Mike finished 3 minutes later. Another poorly handled intruder entry, BB. Interestingly, Travo was the first person to meet Zacho and Travo took Zacho around the house and was very accepting of him which was a surprise.


Nominations were interesting. They were told that they could nominate for Under the Radar, Strategy or Personality and even with that hint from BB, a few HM's struggled especially Ian Thorpe and JTN. Just on JTN, he no longer looks like the obvious fat guy in the house. Well done to you, Jamie.


It was no surprise to see the HM's continually nominate Lara and the Brazilian and they were in the top 2 spots. Despite Mr HTB having the Friday night Super Power yet again, some HM's nominated him and he was the third possible evictee. Not surprisingly, he elected to save himself, partly to save himself (in my opinion) but also because he nom'ed the other two evictees. BB brought up the fact that Mr HTB chose to save someone he nom'ed before (Zoltan from memory) but in the end despite M HTB struggling, BB accepted it and Mr HTB saved himself and put Rove up instead.


Finally to close the ETB and her dead father story from my point of view, the daily show showed that she did get the news prior to eviction and it does show that she cried (which is good, considering the circumstances) and ETB appeared for a moment to be a real human with real emotions rather than a cold, heartless, detached biatch like she had been shown during a lot of her stay. Also to her credit, she did appear with RTB on Noms with Gretel tonight. I am not sure how many radio interviews they did today as some states had a public holiday today.


So let's tune in and see what the joint is like now that it isn't the Big Emma House and let's give the new intruders a chance to see what (if anything) they can do.
