“Nobbi it has been almost six weeks since Terri threw the first HM Hand Grenade and banished you to the backyard,” BB told Nobbi via the Kombi phone. It had been a total of 36 nights and Nobbi agreed with BB that it had been long enough. But while Nobbi thought that BB might be giving him a ticket back into the House, BB had other, more stylish plans.
“Nobbi do you think a change of scenery would be in order?” asked BB. “I would love a change in scenery,” Nobbi replied his eyes alight with anticipation.
“The Kombi is not very fly …. BB has decided that you need to pimp your ride,” BB’s monotone voice echoed through Nobbi’s mind, his face dropped, he realised he was not going inside at all.
“Oh man,” Nobbi groaned as BB explained his illustrious plan, but Nobbi just seemed disappointed. “So I’m still going to be exiled outside?” Nobbi questioned, his flicker of hope all but extinguished.
Renee brought Nobbi out a ‘pimp kit’ from BB complete with a purple and leopard print patterned suit for him to wear while he transformed his cruisey crib. The HMs were overzealous in their delight for all Nobbi’s gifts - but Nobbi wasn’t convinced. “Why doesn’t he just let me inside?” posed Nobbi to no one in particular.
Though reluctant at first, as HMs became progressively more excited over the Kombi, and Nobbi, catching their enthusiasm, warmed to the idea of his new wheels. “How cool are these hub caps?” Travis remarked. Alice loved the sign, ‘If the Kombi’s rockin’ don’t come a knockin’!’ The HMs gushed around Nobbi’s new wheels; the flowers were replaced with animal stripes, the plain boring dash renewed with animal print upholstery, a new bed spread and a ton of cushions. There was even a lava lamp and disco ball! “How cool’s this bro?” remarked Rory, slightly jealous of Nobbi having his own private pimped out pad to invite the ladies to. “This is cool,” Nobbi stammered taking a look at his new look camper. “It looks way different,” Ben agreed, “You have the sweetest joint man!”
Even Terri couldn’t believe her eyes as she closely inspected the interior. “This is beautiful,” she remarked, but it wasn’t enough for her to accept an invitation from Rory on Nobbi’s behalf to christen the revamped Kombi with a sleep over.
“This is a bangin’ bus now,” Nobbi declared proud of his new home. “You’re an official pimp,” Cherry told him as Nobbi stood tall in his animal print jacket and oversized purple hat.
The pendulum on Nobbi’s love/hate relationship with his cherished VW Kombi swung back to love, for the time being at least. He told BB he loved the change of scenery and if he can’t go into the House this was the next best thing. “I’ll be doing it easier. I will be much happier to go to sleep in this van now it is pimped out,” Nobbi said.
The Kombi was taken to the next level and the Kombi King was again riding high on his newly pimped throne. The envy of all the other HMs, the Kombi was the hottest ticket in town but remember: “If the Kombi is rockin’, don’t come knockin’!”
