Big Brother - Keep Your Eyes Peeled
Big Brother 8 kicked off last night and it’s obvious that this year things are going to be very different. To combat the tired format, the team behind the show have turned up the heat – it’s a little bit pressure cooker, and a little bit circus.
While last night saw Big Brother’s first grandma and first Indigenous housemate, many who were waiting for the gay housemate were left disappointed. However, rumours are circulating that there may be more gayness in the house than we first thought.
Dixie and Renee are two housemates to keep an eye on. They’ve both lived in Dubbo – one works in an abbatoir and is a self-professed tomboy who hates ‘bitchy girls’, the other works in indigenous health and has never had a boyfriend. When Dixie entered the house she was shocked to see Renee already in there. Just what is their past? Some are saying that they’ve been more than just friends.
Another one to watch is Travis. He went into the house clutching a bible and in his blurb about himself he said, “A lot of guys hit on me. Which is not good, because I don’t like men in that way.” Yeah right. He’s also scared of the dark.
The other housemates include Ben, who is academic and not too hard on the eye, David, who escaped a Brethren sect as a teenager, Rima, a married belly dancer who is only one metre tall, bricklayer Rory, country vet Alice, dumb blonde Paris wannabe Brigitte, karate loving Nobbi, big chested Bianca, Saxon who believes in UFOs and Terri, the 52 year old grandmother who idolises Pauline Hanson.
There are sure to be loads of clashes in the house this time around – the Pauline Hanson fan versus the indigenous girl, the abbatoir worker versus the animal lover, the tomboy versus the princesses…
This year the house is not the luxury resort it’s been in the past. Housemates can’t cook their own food, it’s delivered by conveyor belt and if they’re not quick enough to catch it, it lands on the floor. They will also be sharing one enormous bed between the lot of them, as well as meagre bathroom facilities. The pool outside is so small, it doesn’t even look big enough to hold them all at once.
According to the Big Brother website, fans think that Travis, who bears an uncanny likeness to Screech from Saved By The Bell, will be the next one out the door, while veterinarian Alice is by far the most popular housemate.
