OK, we've seen Aph wear the panties on her head when she's got her hair in the Princess Leah hairdo.

But where did she get the panties that she wore tonight during her eviction???? They had writing on them....

Anybody heard anything about them? I didn't see anything in the BBBA forums about them.

Here's a pic:

OK, turning the panties upside down you can see Ash's signature...

They weren't allowed to have anything to write with in the house. I heard the girls talking about how they weren't able to bring eyeliner or lipliner into the house when they were getting ready for their eviction show. So what did they use to write with???

Could they have used a tube of lipstick or one of those lipstick/lipgloss products that are more long and thin rather than short and wide as a traditional tube of lipstick would be. Does that make sense?

If you're meaning lipliner Scorpio, one of the girls specifically said that they took her eyeliner and lipliner so nothing could be written with it. Never mind, you're talking about the ones with the brush like thing on the end.

I'm not sure about that. Could be? Or maybe nail polish (Were they allowed to bring that in? BBUS can...) or maybe even the end of a mascara wand?

Sure wish I knew....LOL

Hey HL (or anyone else):

After Aphro left, they talked about how troubled she was--how she hated her life and being in the house was an escape for her. Has anyone watched enough to tell me what her story is/was? What problems did she have?

BB gave them all markers to have each other sign their legacy item' I assume they alway do this--it's for them to put up for auction for charity?
They all signed the blow up kangaroo of Merlins-someones's cricket board, surf board, assorted balls etc. She (Alph) talked about how she would wear this particular pair out if she were voted out.

from what I've been reading on other boards, it's seems like the house is divided on gender lines right now.....people are afraid the guys will begin to gang up on the girls and Pagong them...

YW HL!

Dipo there are several links from the BBAus homepage-to a variety of forums. I checked one out-you have to join it--and it seems uninteresting (to me anyway.)
Maybe I choose the wrong one--I was hoping for a large group similar to this one with good conversation but it's mostly one-liners, complaints and insults--
If anyone comes across a good one I would appreciate knowing about it--I would love to 'talk' to some Aussies and other countries about the show.

Scorpiomoon--re Aphro's homelife--I did hear her talk about her Mother losing her house and having financial difficulties. Her Mom had a small shop-thik she still has it. She talked about her childhood to Merlin and told him how poor they were.
When she was talking to him about her dancing ( I got the impression she was a 'belly dancer',she said she made $108 a night for dancing.
But her business wasn't as busy as it once was.
I'm sure there is a lot more to it--but that's all I heard.

Polypody: Thank you, so much, for answering my question and satisfying my curiousity.

On another note:

I have to say, I am really liking Elle. I think she is so beautiful and I love her calmness (from what I've seen). Voting viewers might think she's boring, but I really like her?

What do you guys think of her?

Normally, I am always attracted to the guys off BB and either am annoyed by or feel neutral about the women. This is the first BB woman I have genuinely liked.

The reasons the HMs gave for nominating Elle were that she was too quick to critisize and too serious. ........... I agree 100%. She needs to ease up a bit if she wants to stay in the house the whole time.

Now the girl I like is Bree.

Ok, so I'm hooked again! Just realized yesterday that BBaus had started, and was up WAY to late watching. I too started looking for site's to find live feed transcripts etc. I did a google search, and found the following:
www.behindbigbrother.com
www.celebchaos.com/bigbrotherchaos/

They are ok, not as good as this wonderful site, of course! Funny to read the same complaint's that I read about BB4usa!

Just want to say that this show has inspired me.
I was painting the back porch today and needed something to put on my head because there is a mama Dove and two babies in a nest on the top of the trellis. Since I didn't want to get poo on my head-I looked for a scarf--couldn't find one--and pulled out a pair of underwear to cover my hair. Thank you Aphro! lol

Re tonights eviction--don't like Igor ( does anyone?) but hope he stays--if they vote off all the problem HMs it will be too boring--

Polypody, I am really hoping that Igor will go tonite, then we can get down to the nitty gritty. He keeps getting nominated because he farts too much and doesn't help around the house, so they aren't really dealing with any of the true issues of the group. Plus I don't want to see all the girls kicked out first!!!!

I know, wisgal, I am a happy girl. Interesting how we didn't have the crying jag of last week!!! Now I am afraid that Paul and Merlin may be nominated.

Hi everyone. This is the first time I have tapped into any of the other BB. It is 4:25 EDT here, and when I log on everyone is asleep. Can someone tell me what time they get up our time? Don't know the time frame there. Thanks

You know, the thing I love about this BB is the innocence of it. Because it is, essentially, a popularity contest, no one in the house is scheming and manipulating others.

Yeah, all the drama that takes place during (recent) BBUS can be stimulating, after awhile, it just gets annoying.

We already saw them do this mini task...
From behindbigbrother.com

I have a mate that works for BMG (the record label behind Australian Idol). BMG is in bed with BB.

As soon as BB is over, Idol will start. They are yet to decide if there will be an overlap of programs (i.e., Idol starts towards the end of BB).

Anyway..... behind the doors near the basket ball court is a fully decked out recording studio. Depending on ratings, when the housemates get down towards a total of 10-7 left in the house, the room will be open, and the remaining housemates get to record a single with John Foreman & Courtney Act.

As John Foreman is involved with the Nescafe Big Break this year, Nescafe is a major sponsor of this BB 'event'. Nescafe will be taking advantage of the extra exposure that BB brings, and will be announcing the winner of their Big Break competition in conjunction with the recording of the BB housemates single.

Exactly how the notification of the winner of the Nescafe competition is implemented into the BB housemates recording procedure is yet to be determined.

The housemates will of course have to come up with the lyrics of the song as a mini-task, and John Foreman will then put the ditty to music. The housemates will be told that the song will be used as a backing for TV and radio advertising.

The single will be released ASAP, with Nescafe doing a major advertising campaign in conjunction with the release of the single. Little will the house mates know that they will more than likely have a No. 1 single when they are let out of the house over the last few weeks of BB.

Then, to top it all off... ALL 16 housemates then make fools of themselves by performing the song in the first Idol show with a live audience. The BB Housemates song will also appear on the next Australian Idol album.

Thanks Wisgal for the interesting info. It will be funny to watch them perform-especially Paul who thinks they would be an insult to the music business!

HI all....A stupid question from me. Is there only ONE choice of cam?

Every other BB in the world I have skulked over to see has had multiple cams to choose from. Here I only see one. Am I missing something>??

ALSO......the quality sux. I get weird metallic noises and the pic is often so distorted it is unlookable (if that is a word LOL)

I have gone thru the LIVE FEED thread posts and most people seem to be on CABLE. I am dialup :-(

Yeah, we're having the same problems, only one cam, sometimes not the best quality. Like I said somewhere, we're getting what we paid for. So this year when we have to pay for the US feeds, maybe it won't bother us so much.

Just an observation about Trevor. He seems to be very intuitive. He guessed the secret was A million $, he thought Elle was going when all others thought it was Paul--and there are several other things he has come up with which I can't think of at the moment--but I find it very interesting.

On another note, I think it's great that all the contestants get a new car upon eviction and don't know about it previously.
BB Australia seems to have a much larger budget than US BB.
