I still find it too manipulative, the twitter comments are probably the most annoying but the narrator does his bit as well. And obviously the editing into conversations at certain points and the editing together of scenes to supposedly make the comment of one scene be illustrated in the next (even if it doesn't really do that).

Oh and Lawson has had the cushiest head of house yet it seems. So will the HMs be told that the David/Jason task was actually fake, or will they be just left believing they are really popular out there?

Another great episode. It was nice to see Katie and Cat make up, since it threw Skye under the bus for creating a rift between them in the first place. It showed just what a brat she is yelling at Katie for no reason.

The task was simple but I'm sure also challenging for them to have to do it all night.

Lawson's power play was quite tame compared to the others we've seen but it balances out his nominations power play which was quite huge.

I thought Lawson would be given a game playing decision...as the others had to. What exactly did he have to do as the power housemate? That kind of sucks.

There was a part with Katie crying in the diary room and sobbing that her family would be proud of her and I'm thinking really? after you admitting to stealing from your dad's offering or whatever it was? *rollseyes* Yep, that would make my parent's proud too!

Other than that it was a pretty quiet episode with not much to talk about.

Oh yes, the David/Jason thingy was kind of funny. I found myself laughing along with Lawson & Sam when David retold how he's considered 'hot' with the Uni girls!

I'm not getting why some people love Katie, her and Saggy Tits are the biggest hypocrites in the world.

Lol at David saying Ryan is a biggest threat. He's got to be the most offensively boring housemate in ages, he makes Sharon or Madaline look like Tahan by comparison :/

I agree tonight was pretty boring. The whole Katie/Cat/Skye thing put me off the former two a fair amount though, Katie was a bit of a knob about it and Cat seems to be brilliant at creating problems out of basically nothing. I think Cat will go, it's rumoured to be a double eviction and I can't see her being high enough in the vote.


Priya's comedy though, amazing!

You reveal more about yourself there than her, those who watch just to hate on people and splurt stuff like that are what this BB is aiming for nowadays just like the UK one. Reminds me of stuff people said about Tahan last year before the producers finally saw sense and gave a more even edit so it was more like proper reality TV.

I don't think there's that much balance. He's been put under no pressure at all. Compare it to the first two who had head of house and they were left out on a limb by BB.

I'm wondering who will be the power HM this time... I really hope it isn't just Jason or someone like that every time the public get to choose :/ I'd like to see maybe Aisha or Sandra, someone we haven't seen as much but I feel have potential, but I can't see Australia voting for them in bulk.

Completely agree, Priya and Katie were made easy targets by BB for example (although with Katie's personality I think she'd have got lots of nominations anyway) with the money thing, people were still citing that as a reason for nominating Priya! And then Jason and Dion had to swap a pair which could have really irked some of the HMs (although it ultimately didn't seem to). Whereas Lawson got no blood on his hands, as the only thing he had to do game wise wasn't even revealed to the others. This is gonna end up like our power trip series I fear, they're going to run out of meaningful things for power housemates to decide aside from the nominations superpower which is an existing feature anyway.

Katie stole the drinks the day before, then turned herself into the victim accusing people of going through her stuff when actually she's the one hoarding food.

Saggy has made mountains out of mole hills on 2 occasions, first about her tits but conveniently left out that Travis made the saggy comment and secondly about the cans of drink where again she tried to make herself the hard done by party. She ironically nominated Cat for making drama when she did the exact same thing with David cause of her tits.

Katie and Saggy are pious and rather self-righteous whereas Tahan last year wasn't, Mikkayla was. So I don't see where people are grabbing this tenuous Katie-Tahan comparison I've seen.

I don't think any of the HMs in there are perfect (including Cat/Lawson/Skye and others) but I don't think they deserve this kind of name-calling either. The house puts pressure on people particularly when up for nomination. But taking some food was a prank which, as I'm sure you know, has been done on BB many times before. I think you are more the one making a mountain out of a molehill (petty things) which is pretty ironic considering what you say and I just don't see the point hating unless you just want to hate. So I don't wish to give anymore encouragement to that attitude by replying on it again.

I don't think it was a prank, they seemed pretty serious when they went to hide it. If it was a prank ro joke they would be laughing about it. They just took it 1 step too far

It was the crime of the century, two people hiding two cans of soft drink they should be evicted .....

Also if it was a prank why on earth did Katie have her knickers in a twist about them being stolen back.

Lawson's analogy about robbing a bank but then claiming the police are trespassing to retrieve the money was spot on.

If Katie and Lisa want to steal the cans that's fine but then don't run around acting like you're the victim and you've been the one violated when they've been stolen back. Lisa even resorted to the high school "well everyone does it" response.

It's not that they got caught, but they tried to say it was everyone else's fault for looking through their stuff just to pass blame to the fact that they stole and hid them which is against the BB rules. I'm surprised BB didn't punish them

Yes it was them trying to make themselves the victims that bother me, but Lisa has that victim attitude written all over her anyway, everyone else is always the bad guy in her book.

I also loved this episode how Sandra was all "Maybe David saved me", I don't know what the vibe is in Oz but I'd reckon that was hella more likely that dullard Sandra saving him. Maybe I'm wrong on that.

Sandra definitely saved him, though he would have helped get some votes for the beard shaving

Oh ok, I don't see anything in Sandra that would make me want to vote for her but I guess that's cool.

I think it's because she's not like the other catty girls always arguing. She's just friendly and normal I guess

I'm not convinced Sandra is 'friendly' and not catty yet. I think she is yet to let loose

I hope she does have a feisty side, I bet she could stand up to the likes of Katie and Lisa no problem.
