They are saying the odds for Michelle to go are a new record. She is definitely leaving. Nobody inside or outside the house seems to like her.

Yeah, lakegal, I read her odds are something like $1 and Zack is about $21 and Alisha is $51, LMAO. I have often wondered if her family somehow calms her down or something. I finally figured out what it was that I think is her problem, she doesn't seem to have boundaries. She thinks that if she is honest she doesn't have to use boundaries, like common courtesy. I have heard/seen others like her on Dr. Phil, LOL, where they tried to get the people to understand that boundaries are important.

Yes, next week. Public voting for nominations starts right after the eviction on Sunday.

I am so glad BB is not telling them and letting them go ahead with their own faux act of nominating. If they knew ahead of time, you know they could somehow get the message across to each other who to target.

I hope a miracle happens and Daniela wins FNL again, otherwise she's gone and I really like her.

Here ya go Naja...it's quite long, but I'll copy & paste it here.

Daniela hits up Big Brother
DAY 76 17:13

Since her arrival in the Big Brother House nearly five weeks ago, Daniela has strived to push the other HMs to question the rules and boundaries set for them. A self confessed "rule breaker", Daniela clashed with Andrew and Billy over the behaviour of the Housemates - Daniela was all for taking risks, whereas the boys were concerned with the welfare of the group as a whole. After a heated discussion with Billy following the HMs 'Toga Party', Daniela's frustration reached it's peak, and she decided to hit up Big Brother with some very pointed questions about his rules.

"I guess being in the House for four or five weeks, however long I've been here now, I've learnt how to adapt. And I've found unfortunately learning to adapt to this situation is learning to abide by your rules. I know you put us all in here to be ourselves, and you're constantly telling us to live by our own truths, to make our own fun but do you really think with the amount of rules you give us we are actually being ourselves?

I've found I've been in here for five weeks now and every single day and I've adapted more and more to your rules and let go of more of myself that I came in here with, and I've noticed with every other single Housemate who has come in here, from what they've told me - it sounds like they've come in here and done exactly the same thing, adapted more and more to your rules and lost more of themselves. Do you think that's the point of being inside the Big Brother House? I thought being in here was bringing different personalities together and having them be exactly who they are in every single moment.

Of course you are going to have rules because this is your House but I'm finding, unless you can prove me wrong, that the majority of the rules put upon us disenable us to be exactly who we are inside this House.

Big Brother: What exactly is stopping you from being who you are?

Well at the moment, nothing is actually stopping me from being who I am, but I think that as a group in this House having to abide by every single rule that you have and everything that we do in this House, we have to question it and double guess it.

I think people are standing back and saying 'we can't do this' and 'we can't do that' because of this rule and that rule and we're so scared. It's like we have a House full of people who are too scared to push things and be exactly who they are.

Big Brother: You say people are holding back. Who do you mean?

I mean everyone in this House. People are hiding back behind groups, people are holding back behind rules, people are holding back behind being scared of not having food for a week. People are holding back because they're so scared of what an outcome might be of breaking a rule.

And today we were discussing it and apparently in the first week they did this and they did that, dressed up as this and dressed up as that. How many weeks has it taken for these Housemates to stand up and throw their own party Big Brother? Nine weeks? It sounds like in the first few weeks they had a bit of fun and broke a few rules and it's taken them nine weeks to do something like that again? I think there is a process in here that obviously isn't working. Because these people aren't being creative, they're not being innovative because they're too scared.

I don't believe, I don't understand how you can watch us for every single minute of every single day and think that these people…not these people, this situation could be so much more.

Big Brother: What rules do you think are holding you and your Housemates back?

I'm not going to give you one particular rule, I'm just saying the general rules, people are constrained in here and people are so scared to go out of the norm and so scared of what you're going to do, and what you're going to take away from us and I think that really sucks. I think as a place which is all about human experience and human relationships it saddens me that people are so constrained to the point where they're scared of doing things. Throwing a party, eating food, questioning things in the House, I don't know, just in general or just living. It's like people have become scared of living in this House.

Big Brother: You say Housemates have been holding back. You refer to parties, etcetera. Did Big Brother stop you tonight?

Of course you didn't stop us tonight, and this is a momentous occasion in this House. But what I'm saying, and myself inclusive, that it's taken five weeks of being here to go 'come on guys, let's step up and be different' and for the other Housemates, its taken God knows how long. Doesn't that tell you something? Maybe if it was more free in here we'd be going crazy and having good times and working together as a group and being innovative more often.

Big Brother: Housemates are free to do as they wish, so long as they abide by the rules.

I disagree with that Big Brother, I totally disagree with that. You can change the rules at any time. I totally disagree with that. I don't think we are free to do whatever we wish. And I'm not taking tonight back, because I am thankful, of course, because you aided in making the party an unbelievable situation.

But it annoys me that I've come into a place where I think of all situations in the world, for you to bring people together…no, not you, for a situation to bring people together who aren't afraid of ridicule and potentially being criticised in front of an entire nation, for that place in itself to be the place where people feel constrained. Not exactly what they want to do, because I know there is basic rules you need to abide by, but it's really ironic to go into a place with the mentality 'I'm going to be myself entirely and I'm going to risk an entire nation either loving me or hating me', and to go to that place and be constrained by way too many rules and the way things should be, and have things taken away from you for no reason. I guess I'm just a little bit p**sed off right now.

Big Brother: Perhaps it is up to you to step outside of the square.

It's impossible in this place Big Brother. It's impossible. It is absolutely impossible. As soon as you be the person that you are…[Starts crying] This is what I didn't want to do in here! Every time you try to be yourself you get pushed down and thrown around and told in different ways that it's not right and it's not correct. Why come in here and put this sheep mentality? I just don't understand it, I don't understand it. Maybe I'm wrong; maybe I will never see it. Maybe I'm narrow minded and I'm the one not seeing the reality of the something, but I just don't understand it, I don't understand.

Big Brother: You say you feel like you're being pushed down and told you're incorrect. Are you hearing that from Big Brother or your Housemates?

Not you, my Housemates. Their excuse is always 'we were here the first four weeks and when we tried to rebel' and they used this excuse that they were here and they tried this and this and this and they use you for an excuse that because of your rules and because of what you did, they are this sheep that have to do everything correct!

I don't understand why you would come into a place like this and not push. I came in here for a challenge Big Brother, and if you set me a task I will do it 'til the end. But if I feel that it is something I could possibly challenge or change or question - of course I’m going to do it, because I came in here as an individual. I don't understand how these people can come in here and say 'we're just going to sit around because in the first four weeks before you came, we had it so frickin' hard'.

Big Brother: Daniela. Big Brother is trying to understand where you're coming from. Are you trying to say Big brother has made you feel this way, or your Housemates?

Let me think about this answer. I feel as though every time I've confronted my Housemates about this, standing up for who they are and pushing boundaries and they in turn blame it on the rules you've set on them. So therefore I'm not blaming you as such.

Therefore I am blaming you and my Housemates for the situation I see as a bunch of people that have come into this House and are being sitting ducks rather than being human beings who are fighters, survivors, they have opinions and who have emotions and so on and so forth. Does that make sense?

Big Brother: Has Big Brother stopped you from being who you are, or have your Housemates influenced you in this way?

This is why it's difficult to answer that question. Because I'm definitely, definitely being who I am one hundred percent, all of the time. The difficulty is being within this new little society we have made up where at first I felt like I was the voiceless one and I walked around saying I want to have a voice in this House but I've realised this is an entirely voiceless society, this is the difficulty I am having with this situation.

Big Brother: How are you feeling now?

Pretty hopeless. I think I feel like I've pushed and pushed at this thing and don't get me wrong, for some reason I wanted this and prior to coming in here I said 'for some odd reason, this is the only thing I want to do in my life right now' and I believe everything happens for a reason, obviously I wanted to do this for a reason. I do feel naïve a little bit but I guess for some other part of me I'm still really grateful to be here because I wanted it so bad.

All I can do is keep being who I am; there is nothing else you can do in here. I've just got to stop taking this so seriously. I take things so seriously in here, and it's not worth it. None of this is worth it because I'm never going to get anywhere. I sit here with my fighter's spirit and fight these battles I'm never going to win. No one in this House is going to change their opinions on how we should be living because of me.

Big Brother: The Big Brother experience is what you make of it.

Definitely. I agree with you 100% and trust me, I've had a ball. But at the same time I can't help but take it seriously sometimes and yes, I have had a blast but I also see a reality I was unaware of. I suppose it's good to go and learn. That's it Big Brother. I'm sweet, I'm good. Keeping it real.

Thank you so much, Care :-) That was a very interesting read. I hope they show most of it in the next show. I do feel all of the originals have turned into a bunch of fuddy duddies.

hahahahaah! I was just replaying the end of FNL show and noticed something I had missed. Joel heads to the diary room after winning and the conversation with BB starts out like this:



BB: Joel

Joel: Big Brother

BB: Who'd have thought?


LOL

(Maybe you had to be there :-))

Wow, Michelle got a really gorgeous little convertible car. I was surprised she got such happy enthusiastic cheers from the crowd. The only time she really got any boos was when they showed some video of her argument with Aleisha that had Aleisha crying.

I really cannot believe the car they gave Michelle. I know the cars get better as the weeks go on, BUT, I think if you're an intruder that hasn't been in there but a few weeks you should get the equivilant of what those that went in the first few weeks got. That's JMO, anyway, and yes I'd feel the exact same had it been an intruder I liked.

With that said, DING DONG THANK GOD SHE'S GONE!

On another note, for those of you that don't keep up with BBUK -- they're having a brilliant thing this week called "fake week". On Friday, they had their normal eviction & at the end of the night they got to see a video of a "BB Australia HM" being evicted & receiving word that she was heading to the BBUK house. In reality, "Pauline" (the "BBAUS HM") is really Thalia, a british actress. She entered the house tonight and the HMs have to figure out she's not who she appears to be in order to win.

They're also topping it off with a fake eviction at the end of the week. The evicted HM will leave the house, have his/her eviction interview (which the HMs are supposedly going to see) and see everything that was said about him/her and then re-enter the house. I can't wait! lol

The funniest thing is they showed the BBUK HMs a replica of the BBAUS DR....not QUITE the same but pretty close, the same feel anyway. And watching BBAUS that same day their DR chair had been removed, LOL! Talk about a freaky coincidence!

The BBUK HMs also think their evicted HM Laura is in Australia right now (Big Brother showed them a "video postcard" of Laura supposedly in Oz), lol. Just a fun little tidbit since I know not everyone that watches BBAUS watches BBUK.

And did you notice how friendly and and almost overtly kind Gretal was toward her? Be very afraid if you are nice gentleman and have to meet Gretal.

Yes, Naja, and I feel they NEED to do something about Gretel's attitude. She didn't even really hit Emma with much OR Demet, whose behavior and lies were idiotic. But yet she blazes against Thomas & Jamie with both barrels. HUGE bias.

Public Vote nominations:

Daniela
Billy
Zach
Travis

Joel removed Travis (which shocks me, really thought he'd save Billy...) and put Aleisha up in his place (giving the reasoning that Aleisha wouldn't react as harshly as he felt Zoran would...)

So new noms are...

Daniela
Billy
Zach
Aleisha

We KNOW Daniela is going out of those 4, I mean c'mon. I wonder if the 4 nominated will get to vote to evict also or just the 3 who are not nominated.

BB should have saved this for a week where there were fewer people. Either way, Daniela was going this week. During the HMs "nominations", they all pretty much felt the same about Daniela and Zach being up, and it's apparent by the public nomination vote that Daniela would have been voted out over any of the rest of them. So it's a pointless twist.

I hate to say it Zach is gone as well...unless they all vote at the same time for it..and Daniella will be gone...then either Billy or Aliesha if Daniella and Zach vote for the same...but if they vote each eviction seperately...it is going to be zach and daniella

I dont think they should have let the house have the power of the twist..seeing as all the power was to stay with the public....i think they should have had a vote..most votes to save was saved...and least of Zoran and Aliesha went up...

I think there's been speculation of it being a double eviction, but no confirmation. People were speculating that the reason BB slipped up and still had the SMS voting available for the nominees that the public must still be able to vote one of them out (while the HMs voted to evict one as well).

If that were the case, they would have been advertising so far this week and Gretel would have made it known nomination night, IMO.

Yeah, I finally made it for FNL!! They look like supermario, but they have these giant foam things on their backs with bees attached so I am not quite sure what the theme is. We must be down to the end, Travis, Zoran and Daniela just tried to stand and slide down a slip and slide, they got 13 feet combined. Now Billy, Joel and Zach are trying. Anyone else up?

ETA: the second team, BB just called them G team, have big "G"s on the back of their big foam things.

I'm up :-) The theme is the 70's. The slide comp is called "Bee Gees" and the red team has G's all over their padding and the blue team has bumble bees on their padding.
