Catch up on what happened in Week 1 and Week 2!
Saxon was gone but not forgotten. He pitched the second Housemate Hand Grenade into the House, completely shattering Brigitte in the process. Saxon’s grenade removed all Brigitte’s material possessions and she couldn’t cope. She screamed, she cried, she threatened, she wanted to leave at one point and she failed dismally at an attempted hunger strike. With no Princess Sparkles to snuggle, life in the House just wasn’t worth living for Bridge.
While Brigitte sulked about her grenade, Nobbi embraced his. The King of the Kombi was riding high and with David’s reign as house captain over, Nobbi was the new leader!
Though it wasn’t all bad news for David, he accompanied a select few to become the first Australian HMs ever to venture overseas … sort of. After much excitement from Alice, Rebecca, David and Rory, they left the House only to jump in a flight simulator and head next door to ‘Bali’. It was a land of luxury where they ate great food, lazed the days away and waxed each other’s chests. The four were refreshed and revitalised when they made their return.
While in Bali, Renee cemented rumors that she had a thing for the bald man, Nate. While she was away HMs also quizzed Nate on the attractive “abs” worker as well. “I think Renee is heaps attractive,” Nathan revealed. BB’s very own love triangle developed; Travis wanted to date Renee but Renee wanted to date Nate, Nate liked Renee but it was a no-go on his part.
HMs were bowled over by the Cricket Task - and though their hand-eye coordination left a lot to be desired, they appealed with all enthusiasm to the third umpire and “Howzat!” was the call of the week. HMs also got their first stab at the vending machine and were able to use pocket money given to them from BB to buy goodies and luxury items.
It was midweek madness when Carson Kressley, the uber style King, brought glamour to the BB House working his magic and tjuzing like there was no tomorrow. The HMs all received signature Carson makeovers and went from drab to fab! HMs decided Terri and Renee were the proverbial Cinderella’s of the ball and the girls were absolutely glowing. Travis was eager to teach Carson his special Sparkle Out salutation. Carson was taken aback and announced, “Sparkle Out? That’s gayer than I am!”
Not completely transformed by any rate, Corey continued to cause havoc and chaos throughout the House, playing practical jokes, throwing flour bombs at Brigitte and Bec and getting on Bianca’s nerves. But soon it was his time to go – much to the HMs’ dismay.
Rebecca was on a fitness fest this week and set herself the mission of motivating Dixie and Bianca to get on the health train. Dixie was inspired to live a healthier life and started working out with Bec and Bridge. Bianca, on the other hand, was not jumping on the bandwagon any time soon. The Trainer pushed on with close mate Brigitte and the two pushed up, stepped up and cracked themselves up - giving Brigitte some much needed relief from the tragedy of her clothing confiscation.
Brigitte’s mourning for her long lost clothes took her through a journey of the seven stages of grief. She was deeply wounded by the grenade and many a time collapsed in tears to BB in the Diary Room. “If I don’t look nice then I don’t feel nice and I’m not happy,” she cried. But Brigitte had no choice and had to play the hand she was dealt. Ingeniously, she asked BB for a pillowcase and some scissors. What eventuated may not be a style to rival runway couture but the pillowcase creation did leave Brigitte smiling for at least a little while.
David silenced the House at the Family Dinner when he revealed his secret. Not wanting to leave without telling the unique story of his life, David finally broke his silence on his escape from life in the Exclusive Brethren and opened up to the HMs about being raised in a religious cult. “I didn’t want to come out with it initially because it’s something I like to tell to people when I know them,” a nervous David revealed. HMs were stunned to say the least and spent the next few days finding out more.
Before HMs knew it, Friday was upon them and dressed in fluro colours the HMs were “Celebrities Behaving Badly”! Nathan, again, made it to the final round, a Tori Spelling Bee. But the physio come basketball coach come youth worker come DJ struggled spelling ‘Schwarzenegger’ and he went down to skimpy waitress Rebecca.
Rebecca became the new FNL champion and Head of House. BB informed her, “You have also won the power to change Evictions. You will have the power to save one of the three nominees. You will vote with double points.” New powers and privileges were awarded.
Not only was she the FNL winner but the birthday girl as well. At Rebecca’s birthday bash, forget crying - it was her party and she wanted to bitch! But after a few relaxed bevies, bitching turned into bonding. HMs indulged in a cheeky game of truth and dare, which ended up with some saucy truths and even saucier dares!
Finally, it was back to the Eviction Room with Ben, Rory and Travis dumped in the hot seats. Rebecca used her FNL power to save Travis, unknowingly forcing herself into the bottom three. Bec then did something no one in the history of the series had ever done before - she sent double points shooting in her own direction, sealing her fate and giving her a one-way ticket out of the House.
