As the rest of the Housemates headed to bed, Bianca joined Renee, Dixie, Brigitte and Corey in a chat. The girls eventually left and Bianca used the opportunity to tackle her conversation with Corey. “I’m glad that we’re here, I have to talk to you,” Bianca said immediately. “Do you think that I act funny around you?”
Corey seemed confused. “Why? Are you meant to be?” Bianca didn’t beat around the bush. “I just want to make this clear so we can at least live in the house together,” she said. “I am basically in here for one main reason – to contradict everything that you stand for.”
Corey asked, “Did you know I was coming in?” Bianca said, “No, I had no idea.”
Brigitte joined the duo and sat quietly as Bianca continued. “I don’t drink, smoke, take drugs, anything. My main thing was to show the youth of Australia you don’t need to do any of that crap.”
“I don’t do all that kind of crap either,” said Corey. But Bianca wasn’t interested. “All I did was shoot you down from the very beginning, and I thought that was unfair because I think I shouldn’t be judged for what I look like so I shouldn’t judge others…”
“Don’t worry, she judged me too,” offered Brigitte. “When I walked in, she said she thought in her head, ‘Great - a dumb blonde.’” Bianca ignored her. “I think I want to judge everyone equally,” she said.
“I don’t represent anything,” said Corey. “What you think I represent….”
“It’s nothing personally,” Bianca interrupted. “It’s what everyone has portrayed you as. It’s contradicting everything that I stand for. It’s been publicised that you were this big jerk.” She explained to Corey that people might see him as a role model and that was a major issue to her. Brigitte quietly left the duo to chat.
Corey tried to explain to Bianca that everyone was different. “It depends what you’re like – some kids drink, some kids smoke…” Bianca interjected, “It is a personal choice, but think about generations…” Corey let out a small sigh. “We’re seen as so crap right now.” Bianca said. “Have you seen what we’re called? No ambition – we are so scruitinised and it’s because all of us are shit and all we do is follow the leader.”
“This has always been me, I don’t follow anyone,” offered Corey. “I’ve listen to people in the House…” Bianca said she didn’t agree and that she felt Corey had disrespected Terri. Corey tried to explain he was frustrated with Terri when she was over-protective, and that all the Housemates had been involved in the practical joke they played on her when he hid. “I am not going to tell you how to talk to people but there are ways to do it,” said Bianca. “I was just raised differently.”
Corey objected and asked Bianca to explain when he had been disrespectful. “We’re getting off track,” Bianca continued. “What I basically mean is that we’re in here for two different reasons…”
“What do you think I represent?” asked Corey bluntly. “You may not have chosen it…” began Bianca and Corey again asked her to elaborate. Bianca said he represented everything she loathed about their generation – that they had no respect for authority, no respect for anything really. “I am trying to sit here and represent the minority,” she declared, explaining their generation was known for drinking excessively and taking drugs. “Barely any of your friends, I guarantee you, don’t do that stuff.”
Corey disagreed. “It just depends on who your mates are,” he argued. “I don’t do that stuff.” He added, “I don’t care what the media says.”
“Well I do, it’s impacting our whole youth. It’s not just about you – it’s about all of us. Even though that’s not you, that’s how you’re being represented.”
