Only BBBA could make a complete dog's breakfast out of a Big Brother tradition.
Let's go back to April 16 where it all began:
And another thing…
“BBBA’s “ever reliable” team of insiders have let something else slip - there are no plans for any “Intruders” this year. “ (Their bold, not mine.)
This gets backed up with claims there will be 18 housemates (remember, they were still in Corey denial at this stage so got no idea who that 18th was supposed to be), no evictions for a month, no midweek specials, and possible (or not) second houses.
Possible (or not)? Just think of it as BBBA-speak for “that just makes us sound like idiots”.
But things have a way of getting “messy” when you’re in the Big Brother Secret Insider business. A week later and Intruders are go!
”It wouldn’t be an Australian series of Big Brother without intruders… and BBBA has had it confirmed by “very reliable” sources that Big Brother 2008 will not be any different.”
Now, you can just imagine there’s a fair amount of tension brewing between Ever Reliable Insider and Very Reliable Insider by this time. But Ever Reliable backs down, cleverly employing her BBBA If We’re Wrong It’s Because We Were Right philosophy.
Think back to the sadly ignored We Got Mentioned!!! thread. That’s the one BBBA forumers were encouraged to play in while staff frantically ran around trying to find audio of two Housemates mentioning the “Inside Big Brother” website and how they read there that there are No Plans For Intruders. Here’s how it played out on BBBA:
BBBA lamb: "So do you reckon the BB producers will put Intruders in now, just to discredit BBBA?"
Ever Reliable Insider: “I'd put money on it."
Forget the fact Mike Goldman had already confirmed as much on his Weekly Chat earlier the same day when he said, “Intruders for sure, every year”.
A couple days go by and calm has been restored, the Insider Wars have been fought and lost, and on May 23 BBBA are out-of-the-bluely handed the list of potential Intruders. But how do they react?
Sorry, all of our Insider positions are currently filled and
"Behindbigbrother.com suggests you take this information with a grain of salt."
Advice which unsurpisingly had to quickly be removed to pave the way for the new headline: INTUDERS CONFIRMED!
You almost feel sorry for them.

lol good post! Couldn't have said it better myself!
And the fact they even whisper that BB changes things just to make them look stupid just shows signs of psychosis.
They have absolutely no idea how much there being laughed at in BB Production halls.
Good Work!
Feel sorry for them in that special school way?
Slurrrrp.
paco's friend,
Look at it more in a Travis hair-cut kind of way.
Tension. Heh.
A whole 2 months after it was first confirmed at other sites, BBBA finally acknowledges the possibility that there are intruders this year (after one botched semi-acknowledgement of sorts in mid April). God help us all! Delusional wankers. Sack DQ, their insider, because she's obviously hopeless at finding out anything beyond trivial viral marketing points.
One and the same, Ash. Came back to say slurrrp again. Onamatopea. Get that in a headline, Mic.
