These are apparently the new house mates...

image not archived: 470bbhousemates0ef3.jpg


1. Saxon - SA
Saxon, 22, is heavily tattooed and physically imposing. Since spotting a UFO in the skies over Adelaide a couple of years ago, he has been on a mission to prove that aliens exist.

2. Rory - VIC
While being anti-religion, 21-year-old Rory has his own traditional views and opinions. He grew up in a poor suburb that he calls "the ghetto" and lists his favourite book as FHM Magazine.

3. Rima - VIC
Standing at just one metre tall, Rima is a small package with a big personality. The 25-year-old was born in Melbourne of Lebanese parents, works as a belly dancer and has been married for one year.

4. Renee - NSW
As an abattoir worker and rugby league enthusiast, this 22-year-old tom boy is a country girl at heart and very animated. She is also from the same town as fellow housemate Dixie.

5. Bianca - QLD
This 18-year-old Italian princess is passionate about the works of Plato and Shakespeare and believes her voluptuous body is both an asset and a curse. She rarely goes on dates and says men usually run in the opposite direction when she starts talking.

6. Alice - VIC
Meet the first vet to ever enter the Big Brother house - Dr Alice. The 24-year-old is a high achiever with a private school education, but insists she was a scholarship student who fought hard to keep her place.

7. Travis - NSW
With a high-pitched and squeaky voice, it's easy to stereotype 20-year-old Travis. But don't be fooled - this flamboyant and excitable virgin insists he is all about the ladies. He is staunchly religious and anti-drugs.

8. Rebecca - WA
This 22-year-old promotions model and waitress is comfortable in her own skin, but has a bizarre germ phobia and refuses to ever go barefoot. She even wears thongs in the shower.

9. Nobbi - VIC
This self-described insane attention seeker was born in Japan, and says he is always skating on thin ice. He has only been in love once and was heartbroken, so the 21-year-old remains happily single.

10. Dixie - NSW
Dixie is a uni student and mental health worker, as well as Big Brother's first Aboriginal housemate. The 21-year-old says her commitment issues means she has never had a real boyfriend.

11. David - NSW
Raised as a member of the Exclusive Brethren, David says he "escaped" the religious sect at 19-years-old. Before then, he had never eaten in a restaurant or kissed a girl. These days, the 32-year-old works as a fire fighter and is obsessed with celebrity gossip.

12. Brigitte - ACT
A self-confessed drama queen and wanna-be Paris Hilton, 20-year-old Brigitte describes her hobbies as shopping and "dressing up". One of her biggest fears is being seen on national television without make-up on.

13. Ben - WA
Ben, 19, is easily frustrated and prone to bouts of road rage. As a law student, he is often considered by friends as the voice of reason.

14. Terri - NSW
As Big Brother's oldest-ever housemate, 52-year-old Terri shouldn't be mistaken for a sweet Nanna. This Pauline Hanson fan is passionate and political, and finds the younger generation frustrating.


Few launch photos & updates...

what a bunch of creatures!

 

Yes, an interesting bunch thats for sure!

Quentin does drag now?

*kisses foxtel cable*

teh ex-brethren dude will be an awesome housemate! and that rima chica, i think she was performing with the happy sideshow/freak show at the adelaide show last year

http://forum.behindbigbrother.com/showthread.php?t=29879


Someone on Big Brother needs to learn how to spell.

I'm turning into someone who refuses to ever go barefoot too!

It won't seem such a silly idea when the midget turns out to be a squirter though 

That's the only reason I'll be watching the show.

Just in case.

ooh checkit: she;s been in the news a lot!

Foxy women or midgets

and she was the chica i saw at the adelaide show!


"Mr Rooke said some people took offence at acts like Tiny Rima, but "we treat Rima like royalty. She loves [performing]. Everybody's got something special about them."

Rima Hadchiti, 24, from Melbourne, is one metre tall and weighs 19.5 kilograms. Her father is a musician who encouraged her to dance and "entertainment was always in my blood". She has no fear of the label freak. "I actually think that we are all freaks. You will never find a person who is exactly like you. I'm just expressing my freakiness, like everyone else.""

I must admit I hate going bare foot

I am forever lecturing people about showering bare foot in hotel rooms....

Wear thongs I tell you! Yuk.... who wants athletes foot/Tinia! gross! haha

I wonder which chic will be the first to get it on with someone? I put bets on 5,6 and 12.

She looks like a mini Amy Winehouse!

Mines on 3.

In need of a moocher?

 After perusing those photos for 0.00001 of a second I can guarantee that I won't be watching one second of Big Brother.

 

Seconded. Although not having a televison set would make it particularly hard even if I wanted to. Which I don't.

Sorry to be such a pedant, but I have a vendetta against the destruction of that word. Even if it is the fault of an English critic who I have alot of respect for.

Peruse

1. trans. To use up; to wear out through use; to exhaust. Obs.

    II. To go through, examine.

    2. trans.

    a. To go through, deal with (a series of things or persons) one after another; to handle, examine, or deal with (a number of things) one by one. Now rare.

 {dag}b. To go through (a series) by name; to name or recount in order. Obs. rare.

    3. trans. To examine in detail; to scrutinize, inspect, survey, oversee; to consider, to take heed of.

    4. trans.

    a. To examine or go through (a text) in detail in order to correct or check; to revise, reconsider, edit. Also: to read (a text) critically; to review, gloss, or set forth exegetically. Now rare.

    {dag}b. With over. To go back or look over (a text) again, or repeatedly; to reread in full; to pore over. Cf. to read over vb. at READ v. Phrasal verbs. Obs.


Being that it has etymological roots in the Latin 'Peruti', meaning 'To use up, wear out', it is severely misused.

no attempted smart talk in the big brother thread thanks!

 Seeings how I used it in the same context as about half of the examples you posted, I stand by my perusal.

 

I'm watching. I don't care.

The vet's face was too shiny.

What the hell is with Travis' voice?!?!?! AAAHAHAHAHA!!!

ewwww no eye candy at all!

I think Big Brother would be much more interesting if it was a sort of parallel reality to 1984 IMO.

Some decent tits though!

Could Travis really be...

Da da da dah!!

JUGHEAD?!

image not archived: jughead.jpg

Did I see a Leopard print skimpy dress? I think I did!

Slut alert!

I'm glad I am not at home to watch this bollocks.

Having said that I loved the US Big Brother

There are 3 x 1 hour episodes a week, so there are no long periods of viewing people sleeping and scratching themselves. They can discuss nominations so there are loads of deals being made and backs being stabbed. All the votes are done by the housemates - no SMS voting. Of course all the Americans in the house think they are hot shit and talk themselves up, but its great to see when they fall off their high horses. Much better than the Australian format.

Have they changed much this year?

What the fuck is wrong with that dude's voice?!?!?!?!?!!!1

Who knows I haven't watched anything since the first episode of the first series.

The young dude from WA is alright ... only because I have a thing for young looking guys ;p

The only person from SA and he seems like an utter TWAT ! Likes : Harley Davidsons, Women & Music ..... ( yeah, probably Jimmy Barnes )

Big Ups the midget though !

sounds like deaf Robbie

lol

and you hit the reply button why?

watch your tongue!

Uh-Oh! Let's hope Spacey doesn't see that...

God they put some serious uggo's in this year.



It will get canned this year.

I still laugh though when I see Travis .. "My Vooooiiiice".

certainly is a bunch of interesting characters

the fire man cult guy has a nice bod

the alien guy is crusty! eww he reminded me of rise nightclub for some reason 

same though. it's the year of the pig.

 

I am a thinkin' to meself that BB looks more interesting than previous years. These people have quite freaky characteristics & interesting personalities, whereas in the last few years I have been bored to death with the past participants

yes, I agree they arent the most beautiful bunch- but they do have interesting qualities.

I will watch it for the first few weeks anyway. After that I think I will get bored.

I like how they don't have a kitchen and only get their food on a conveyor belt!

I want to smack the boob girl already.... "oh they are definitely a curse".... well maybe don't wear stuff that shows your boobs then? 

Nobbie is definitely our favourite so far 

Nobbie: Your tattoo says "dirt"
other guy: "I was told it says "warrior"
Nobbie: yeah but it says "dirt"
other guy: well an asian guy did it
Nobbie: well he fucked up!

Yeh I couldnt believe she said they were a curse when she had em out! I cracked up at that one

AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA

It says 'star dirt' not 'star warrior' SUCKERRRRRRRRR... that guy is totally ugly as well. In fact they're all pretty gross.

From the Advertiser

"THIS year's new-look Big Brother appears unlikely to return the TV show to its glory days, with the launch ratings the worst in its history.

An average of 1.511 million tuned in last night to watch Big Brother's new hosts, radio broadcasters Kyle and Jackie O, reveal the first 14 housemates during a two-hour launch.

The audience for the Channel 10 show peaked at 1.91 million.

But while it beat its competitors in most timeslots - except its second half hour when it lost out to Border Security - Big Brother's latest launch was the least-watched in the show's eight-year history".

Big Brother = Epic Fail.. Didnt bother and aint gonna bother watching this tripe

only reason i changed stations to watch it was coz i wanted to see the midget!!  what a funny little thing!   

rima is cool!

maybe the prize for the winner is a massive makeover?? and plastic surgery?

All the surgery in the world aint helping those muppets

The highlight of the show for me was Kyle's eye twitch 

that's a very kind way of describing them.

Wow must have been a cracker of a show if that was the highlight

Big Brother's Rima in porn shock

BIG Brother has only been back on the box for less than 24 hours and already scandal has erupted, with nude shots of diminutive diva Rima already doing the rounds.
The sexually provocative snaps of the 1m-tall professional belly dancer from Melbourne carry the logo of a website that encourages women of all ages, sizes and backgrounds to post racy images of themselves online.

Rima, 24, was born in Melbourne of Lebanese parents.

Her Big Bro bio reads: "She's feisty, outspoken and opinionated with a dry sense of humour. Married for just a year, Rima's husband is excited about her decision to go into the Big Brother house. She's a small package with a big personality.''

The explicit shots come from a porn website that refers to itself as a public art project that makes a bold statements about nudity, fame and the internet. The site displays naked self-portraits, shots of “women in control of their own image. It’s also performance art, it’s fun, it’s liberating, and it’s reality.”

Rima starred in the Melbourne Theatre Company's production of The Pillowman last year opposite Aussie stars Joel Edgerton, Dan Wylie and Kim Gyngell.

She also performed at Sydney's Royal Easter Show last year in The Psycho Sideshow of Anarchy as the "midget belly dancer'' Tiny Rima.

Noddy will be all over this

So is this on every night now?

Edit: Der.

now ya talking

rats in cages strapped to their faces

What's with the food coming out on a conveyor belt?

I only caught the last few minutes of this tonight.

There is no kitchen, only a conveyor belt. Kinda like a sushi train, only not.

Wow. That blows. Sucks to be them!

They're getting fucking OWNED in this house.

Nobbi must be doing his head in, having to live in the combi, thinking about how much he loves his old mate Nanna.

Everyone is gunna go psycho at eachother, but how long will it take??

I say give it a week.

ahhh i have a foot phobia too!
I wont even swim in public swimming pools in the UK now because they make me feel sick.. kids peeing in the pool and shit

Oh my god.

What is wrong with these people!

What does critique mean, can't even say the word?

WTF?!

That conveyor belt FAILS.

Dixie wants to leave already.

The Paris Hilton wannabe sleeps with a unicorn called Princess Sparkles.
[She reminds me of Harmony, from Buffy ]

And the abbatoir worker girl is DUMB. No wonder she can only chop up animals.

A bowl of prunes for dinner?

A bowl of SEAWEED for dinner?

I'd be out of there quick smart.

A missing Unicorn!

"I'd like to tell her to send me some kind of message to let me know shes ok"

WTF!

How dare you have the audacity to criticise the housemates so harshly!! Shame on you.

My scrotum is feeling reasonably smart after watching that episode.

Needs more midget porn imo...

Oh wait...

Ideas Man: This year lets collect an absolute shitload of cum, call it something obscure and make them slide around in it!!
Producer: WOAH GREAT IDEA IDEAS MAN!

PARTY BOY COREY ! YAY !

is there friday night games this year?

Certainly is. Rima broke her leg in Friday night games last week.

 

is that the little lady?

Uh huh

we were discussing that last night!  she'd have to have lego crutches!

[video: www.youtube.com]

for those like me that didn't see it. at the start it looks like the guy standing next to rima is peeing on her 

Man, Ive missed so much in the short time its been on. I only saw the first episode

I cant believe rima has broken her leg! The poor lil thing

corey is ugly he needs frying pans not those yellow goggles

You can tell he's from adelaide straight up though, so many swines like that around here normally they tell you they are a nom for some form of organization. Would also have a bum bag

The new guy from Adelaide is alright. I remember his advert on Fresh FM ... sounded like the Metropolitan Plumbing ad hahahaha ;p

Is his name Nathan? Couple of my mates went to school with a guy that was in lockdown for Big Brother, don't know if he got in though. He's supposed to be a real good dude, but really straight edge.

Oh and also, Big Brother is fkn rubbish.

xSxEx for life. *Picks up the pennies*. Most of the straight edge people I know are twats.

Yep. Nate08.com

He had a good campaign !!

this show is utter garbage the sooner people stop watching it and it gets canned the better

Corey had to evict 2 of the new housemates. He didn't want to responsibility so Terri had to evict them. The Adelaide guy is staying ! Yay ! Go SA !!

Rima the freak bares all

Rima the freak bares all, again

Rima the freak bares all, some more

Rima the freak bares all - you know you love it!

SOOOOOOOOO HOT I JUST SPLURGED!

Totally agree, but with that said... I do love to turn in onto 10 just so me & Katie can yell abuse at the screen! Jerks, I know they can hear us.... 

Drew, I reckon you need to get your knives out! 

Oh yeah, Much better sans clothes. Fuck, that's some good midget.

Drew's not dumb though

She's right. He CAN talk.

lol

ishotmyself.com


you sure did

keen for some spit roast action?

You'll Love Coles' Mini Roast For 2.

agreed!

 

So pissed of Saxon went. He was the man.

As if people wanted Dixie to stay FFS!

omg whats with corey's hair??? u can see carson is trying to get away from that ugly mange. urgh, corey is so gross looking anyways haha!

image not archived: ar_carson1.jpg

Corey was nervous as hell and couldn't even look at Carson in the eye.... it looked like he thought he'd catch gay 

The makeovers of Brigitte, Renee and Ben were ok but the others didn't look good. Corey's makeover hair made his head look all misshaped 

Don't know if I'm alone here, but Corey's actually a whole lot cooler than i was expecting...like he's surprisingly not that much of a douchebag (most of the time at least)

i'll agree with ya. not cool but not the pony i first thought of him.
fuck i hate that carson chump. who let him in there.

I loooooooooove Carson!

would be way more entertaining if he was a smart arse like he was back in the today tonight interview!

now he's all polite and nervous

i'm so proud of myself for not watching it this year.


*hugs foxtel remote*

*steals foxtel remote*

Is this shit finished yet???

But wouldn't you just be poking each other?!  

fair call. but in all seriousness, this year has probably been the best in ages. so far at least. it's a good group. full of wankers, but a good cross section.


dixie crying last night made me laugh a little.

Now, Chris, that was mean. Say sorry...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH you cunny funt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

boom tish.

 
as long as theres no other man to man contact its all good. besides the odd high 5 here and there.

Travis's mum is soooooooooooooo delusional. What a crack up!

Don't think 'cooler' is the best description for corey! More like he isn't as big a dick head as I thought he was. I don't think he's very confident when it comes to acctual conversations with people but still a mouthy fucker!


That was soooo funny. you can just imagine him tryin to scrub himself clean (like a rape victim in the shower) after carson touched him!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

OOH YOU HAVE A GREAT BODY
OOOH BUT YOU DONT NEED ME TO TELL YOU YOU'RE HOT
BUT YOU HAVE A GREAT BODY
AND YOUR BODY IS BETTER THAN HER BODY
IM SURE YOU'RE NOT THAT INSECURE THAT YOU NEED ME TO LIKE TELL YOU HOW HOT YOU ARE
BUT YOU HAVE A GREAT BODY.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

she's a pig dog

yeah she is.

Dixie has been pissing me off whenever I see her because she's such an immature insecure sooky nasty bitch!

sorry chris but you must be joknig no where near as many hot chicks as last year and twice as many wankers to boot i fuking hate this show

If you want to watch fit chicks, put on Girls of the Playboy Mansion...

Big Brother has really had no appeal to me whatsoever for a few years, but this year it has been so entertaining because everyone clashes sooooooooo much.

Nobbi and Rory are gold for pissing people off

Bridge is a fucking princess if i ever saw one (so i called the dishwasher fixing man)

Bianca needs to get her high and mighty middle child head out of her arse

Travis - WTF!?!?!

Dixie loves to whinge and be fat and get others to start on her because she just sooks

Ben is a downright PRAT who wants to be a lawyer but couldn't win an argument against a honey fucking crumpet

Renee is a crying tomboy in love with a 27 y.o virgin

Terri has a party sized bag of salt and vinegar (for extra sourness) chips on her shoulder



All makes for fun times if you ask me.

 


True on all accounts IMO!


Did anyone watch them get hypnotised? Thoughts? Real or faking? Or a bit of both?

agree on the female front.

best part about this year though i reckon is that they are all wankers. makes better tv than a bunch of normal idiots in there would i reckon.

still though. do wish i had foxtel.

foxtel are germs i pay through the nose for their services yet today when i knock off work early and come home to watch game 5 of the lakers and spurs my foxtel is offline so i ring the cunts up and it takes me 1 hour to speak to someone and then they can't help me now i can't even watch the replay as i have soccer training tonight. FUCK

edit: sorry prob wrong thread

fitness corner all the way

Totally bogus!  Nobbi was pretty convincing but by his own confession he said it was like acting but really good!

Hilarious/awesome

I have to say the "ignore the obvious" task has been pretty funny.

It's a good task, but that idiot Ben is going to lose it for them.... he's the dumbest smart person ever!

I'll be watching it more once that Biance chick fucks off. Whinge whinge whinge whinge fucking whinge.
Ben is hot ... love that skinny young boy look !

Travis didn't stand a chance against Nobbi in the FNL final challenge tonight 
He didn't even batter an eyelid before downing that fish eye

Classic that Trav's the picture of a gay boy and Nobbi was the expert at swallowing nuts!

wow, they must be desperate for ratings...

FORMER Baywatch babe and Playboy bunny Pamela Anderson will bust into the Big Brother house next month.

The Canadian-born actress and sex symbol, who turns 41 next week, will take a break from filming her own reality series to appear on the Network Ten program.

Anderson will enter the Big Brother house on July 9, to teach the housemates "the tricks of her trade''.

"Pamela has been in my sights for quite some months and I'm delighted to announce her involvement in my show,'' Big Brother said in a statement from Network Ten.

"The reaction from the housemates will be worth watching.''

This Sunday's show will see the return of midget bellydancer Rima, who was forced to leave the show in May when she broke her leg.

"Ewwww eediott, your so old terri, your like 80"

Bianca still hasn't figured out that it's all a game 


She's so stupid I want to smack her in the boobs 

ali was saying last night that if she passed bianca in the street she'd break her nose.

can't say i blame her. bianca's got to be the biggest fuckwit i've ever seen on that show. such a whore.

Seriously, get your baps out and stfu already.

i reckon she'd have hairy nipples.

Girls can have hairy nipples??? 

yep.

girls like her.

That's hot   

i can't stand people like her. *shudders*

Probably. She's that much of a bitch that there is bound to be something wrong with the only good thing about her...

yeah not pretty at all

so pamela anderson goes in tonight....i'm gunna have to fucking watch this lol...how long is she going in for?

Fuck me this show just keeps topping itself with the shameless ratings grabs doesn't it? First Corey boy now this!

3 days.

OMG Brigette is an enigma...she is dumb and yet not dumb, annoying, superficial and cruel and yet cute, hilarious and sweet. I am sad to see her go. Get in the magazines Brigette! haha

Lol I cannot believe I just wrote that.

ahahahaha it ain't aired here yet lol....spoiler action 

Oops I always forget that.

SPOILER BELOW!!

it doesn't phase me at all, i was just glad to see ms anderson do the splits in short shorts 

Hahahahaha

Possibly the funniest I have ever seen Kyle!

The show will be okay to watch now that the 2 most annoys scrags are gone.
The chick with the big tits had awful teeth and thought she knew everything.
Brigitte's voice was more annoying than the dude's. MI WI WI WI MI MI WI WI WI allll the fkn time !!

I thought that said Brigette is an enema 

The only thing that was annoying about her was that stupid voice she put on, didn't mind her other than that!

Cherry makes my skin crawl... it looked like even Pammy was creeped out by him trying to grope her!

Sign this petition if you want Trent from Punchy in the house:
http://www.petitiononline.com/trentbb/petition.html

chezza is a fcking germ i can't stand fake cunts like that

Agree. I suspected her of putting on the dumb act as she seemed to have glimpses of normallity but not to be.

so what happened with pammy in the house last night i missed it?

Nothing much... she's not staying in the house, just popping in every now and then... she had dinner with them, then the next day a photographer came in and the housemates got some photos taken of them while Pammy told them how to pose.

Pammy seemed pretty normal except she said the same jokes that she said to kyle and jackie before she went into the house!

When she entered the house pammy was gurning for sure


Did anyone see her jaw going ballistic?! She was talking a zillion miles an hour

 I was loving watching it. There wasnt enough pammy thats for sure.

does pammy have a jaw ive never noticed
