Big Brother 2012! It's back!
Ah yes... finally it is back! Looking forward to it.
Not so much Channel 9's desperate "Shufflin" ad campaign to connect with Gen Y.
I've given up my aspirations to be on the show though...
Anyone watching this?
Its hard cause Im overseas. But getting bits here and there.
Oh hey, here is a bit of trivia.
Im mates with BIG BROTHER! Used to work with him on a TV program a few years ago. He is the man!
i like it :)
waiting for it to get interesting first, but some of the people on there you wouldn't waste your breath to even talk to.
I crashed the original Big Brother wrap/after party, the one where Ben won and Blair came second. I worked at the Casino at the time, was rostered on the night of the wrap which was held in the convention rooms, so I armed myself with a clipboard to look official, and took a few newspaper clippings in with me and got every one to sign them. Still have them. I spent about an hour chatting with Ben, giving him all the latest Rugby and sports updates etc. A good bloke.Quote:

Always the way , get rid of the ones who have something interesting to say and leave the ones with an IQ less then 50 in the house :doh:Quote:

While Ryan causes alot of drama and even more so with Ben.
Pretty funny about the fake House 2.
Here is another story about me and my involvement with Big Brother.
During the series of 2006 I was working as a service technician for a company and I had to go into the Big Brother house while the series was running to do a maintenance fix on an appliance in the kitchen that was programmable with time and date, and the housemates were using it to know what the time and date was.
Anyway, I had to go in early morning, had to do a big security/safety briefing, had a minder with me at all times, had to be really quiet with tools, talking etc as the housemates were in "lockdown" in the bedroom and might hear us, and a few other things like not leaving any clues that anything had been done etc.
Anyway, while I was in the kitchen, looking around at all the cool items that would be awesome souvenirs I asked the guy if I could sip something into my tool-case for my 12 year old daughter and he said, "just to let you know you've got a whole production crew, including camera and sound technicians with nothing to do right now, and they are all watching what you are doing", so I thought that might be the end of that.
When we were finished and outside, he said, "Wait here" and he ducked off for a few minutes. He came back with some odd looking weird green plastic contraption, and I said, "what's this" and he says, "don't you watch the show?" and I said, "no, not really" and he says "it's the watering can they use in the veggie garden".
Looked pretty weird to me, definitely an unusual souvenir, but I can assure you my daughter was pretty excited when I turned up with it after work that day!
And there is a follow up story to this one, about my appearance on Rove Live, but that's for another day..... :D
Brad, obviously the "voice" of BB cannot be up 24/7, and there is another "stand-in" occasionally, but is the "voice" the person in control, or is he just a voice? As in, is he the producer of the show, or do they have a voice over type to do the talking as instructed? Or is it a trade secret?Quote:

Mate loved your story about BB and the watering can! That's classic.
We should start a new thread to share all our crazy stories.
SO NAB a trying to let housemates know that if anyone of them jumps the fence they will give them $20k no questions asked, and if more then one do it then they will pay them the same amount. I know of a few mates that are planning a few things to get info to the housemates, should be interesting to watch play out LOL
Haha, yeah, I heard about this too. Apparently the NAB are tying it in with their "no lock-in contracts" or something like that. Pretty clever marketing really.Quote:

Classic ambush marketing, fascinating. Universities will be using this as an example for years to come if it plays out. Theyd have to up the offer IMO though.
With the fake 2nd house, what they need to do is get one house mate to go to the fake house for a week. Get them in on it, offer them a prize for helping it happen. Then put in a fake housemate from House 2, hopefully the fat guy. And see what happens.
Glad they got rid of Sarah. She sh!ts me. Just need to get rid of that whingeing, b!thcing, backstabbing Ben and the house would be a better place for everyone. I know he adds a certain edge to the show, but I have no time for people like him, ie. whingeing, b!thcing, backstabbing girly-boys.
And that intruder is not hot. She is ok, but hardly a stunner IMO. Not that I am an oil painting, but BB is trying to sell her as some 1 in a million hottie that will get all the boys attention and all the girls jealous. She wouldn't get a second look here on the Gold Coast. I would rather hook up with Layla, Angie or Estelle (even Sarah if she was still there) if I was basing it on looks.
I think she will turn out to be boring.
I was happy to see Sarah go, she was so annoying and preachy.
Everytime she was on TV she was whinging. And all the twitter comments were bagging her.
I voted to save Ray!
I like Ben, cause he is a major **** stirrer and game player.
I like Ray now. He was probably the guy I first made a negative opinion about, based on his entrance and carry-on about chocolate milk, but now I think he is ok.Quote:

and what about Michael? Genius? I don't see it. Can't work out simple chess problems and doesn't know the capital of Tassie. Personally I don't see an IQ test as a true indicator of intelligence, but I don't see anything particularly clever about Michael.
Michael... yea he cant be a genius if he cant name state capitals! How embarrassing!
I agree about Ray, I didnt like him at first. But I think people are unfairly ganging up on him.
Ben, he will go deep into the comp. But there is no way Australia will vote FOR him to win it!
Michael has to be favourite. He is funny, great personality but no way a genius.
Please kick Layla, Stacey and Sam to the curb!
I can't stand them. Particularly Stacey for losing the weekly task by constantly interacting and reacting to the intruders.
If I was a Housemate, Id have her head on a spike in the BBQ area for that!
Social media black out time. Dont want any spoilers for eviction. Just hope Ben survives. Cant believe Layla and Sam are safe! Tactics!
Eatelle saved with a massive margin.
Stacey gone. Ben saved.
Well Zoe leaving was no surprise. She really turned into an obsessed stalker over Michael over the last few weeks.
Then Michael, the early favourite, he was very entertaining, but let himself down with this still romance with Estelle, I hope it was worth it for him.
As long as Layla doesnt win Id be happy.
Love to see Ben take it out, really enjoyed him.
Michael..... Yellow Bellied Black snake.. :laugh: I thought the guy was intelligent? :ugh:
Didn't know the capital of Tassie. :laugh:Quote:

He really participated in the house and made it an adventure and experience. He didnt really ever play it very safe and has been justly rewarded.
