On their first day in the House, David, Rory, Saxon, Nobbi and Ben all jumped in the Hot Tub for what was to become the Spa Mafia’s inaugural meeting.
Pleased with their cosy collective and comfy clubhouse David coined the term Spa Mafia and Big Brother's underbelly of bitchy banter was born.
This was how it all started but it was Day Two when the boys got down to some serious business.
David officially opened the meeting. “I’m declaring minutes open. Is there anything of a highly sensitive nature that needs to be dealt with first?”
From bowel movements to girl chat, from scheming to grooming tips, there was no stone left unturned as the boys got down to the really important happenings in the House. But the plot thickened as David decided the Spa Mafia needed a spy to infiltrate the girls group and glean some inside info.
“I’ve got a good way that we can obtain information,” said David. “We could get Screech [aka Travis] to be our mole!”
A resounding “yes” greeted his suggestion. David continued. “He’s already got their trust. He’s been over there from day one serenading them [the girls]. He is the nerve man. Now, if we can manipulate him to obtain certain information…”
The boys agreed that it was a great plan and Rory explained he thought they needed to put a bogus mission to Travis in order to test his loyalty. “Yep, copy that,” confirmed Lieutenant David.
The boys decided it would have to be a random piece of information that they would share with Travis. The test was if Travis told the girls their whispers or if he stayed true? They put their minds together and plotted how it would unfold and who would be the target of their saucy secret? Would it be Renee, Brigitte, Rebecca or Dixie?
The decision was made - Rebecca would be focus of Operation Screech Setup. The boys all seemed pleased with themselves. “We’re throwing our own hand grenade,” laughed David.
The Spa Mafia were pretty happy with the first motion that had been passed. “What we wanna know is, can he work for us and is he water tight?” declared David. “I can guarantee he’s not water tight. But he can work for us,” proclaimed Rory. The opportunity to set the wheels in motions for their secret plan came about sooner rather than later, as Travis decided to see what the boys were chatting about in the spa.
The boys didn’t wait long to begin baiting Travis. Their ingenious lure, their top secret tale, the mission they decided to set Travis? "Who left skid marks in the girls' toilets?"
“We know who it is. We reckon we know,” said Nobbi, which easily enticed Travis into the stealth Operation. “Who’s the chief suspect?” Travis asked, excited about this piece of hot gossip. The boys planted their seed and told Travis they thought it was Rebecca... but who did he think it was? "I don’t know. I think I need to know someone for at least three days to work out if they were a skidder,” Travis joked.
The Spa Mafia tried to ring in their recruit, asking him who he’d pin the crime on. But Travis was no Inspector Morse and didn’t seem to want to play the name and shame game. As the Spa Mafiosos' conversation got a little on the dirty side, Travis decided to opt for his female friends once again and left the group.
As he retreated there was a whispered chorus of, “The seed has been planted...” from the boys in the spa.
How will the Spa Mafia’s plan unfold? Only time will tell…
