And once we own 'em, we start to play with 'em.

Easily the most entertaining part of BB08 has been watching the big guys blatantly toy with Behind Big Brother.

And like a nail to a coffin, BBBA just can't resist jumping on everything they are fed. Even if it is done to make them look like complete dopes.

Apaaaaaaarently a high-profile and world renowned hypnotist would put his reputation on the line just to sexually exploit the Australian Big Brother Housemates.

From BBBA:

"Word is that Nobbi and Dave were hypnotised to believe they were playboy models, fondling around with each other in a tub full of beans. Rory had been hypnotised to believe that he was their photographer. When the task was over and done with and the tub was being emptied, Big Brother employees supposedly found a substance that wasn’t beans in the tub."

No explanation about how that "substance" was isolated and identified in all them beans, but I spect the "Big Brother employees" knew that wouldn't really worry BBBA.

It gets better.

"We’re told David was hypnotised to believe that a lollipop Alice was licking was his genitals. David apparently got a little hot under the collar and things got a little... messy. Alice then bit the lollipop and David fell of (we'll assume they mean off) his chair in pain."

What, more "messy" stuff spilled all over the House? Geez, this is one weirdo hypnotist, that's for shore.

Haha. It's like watching a cat tossing around a half dead mouse.

UPDATE: How bout that. Looks like BBBA have had to retract all that messy stuff.

Too funny!

Insert Eddie McGuire joke here

Hardly able to keep their hands from waving all about, BBBA has gotten all giddy and back-thumping about hitting 1,000,000 posts.

So let's break this down.

We'll assume they started up about this time in 2001. That gives them seven years on-line, which gives us 2555 days - give or take that leap year thing. 2555 days is 61,320 hours.

Divide that by a million and wow! A whopping 16.3 posts an hour.

Talk about putting the Origami Treasure Trove forums under pressure!

Should I mention here that on current trends, the Official Site should hit 2 million posts before this series starts and ends?

Nah.

Zer vill be nein Intruters! (UPDATED)

Yesterday on BBBA's forums someone posted a list of possible Big Brother Intruders that a survey company has sent out for assessment.

Today BBBA finally acknowledged the thread, grudgingly slapped it up there on the front page, (I suppose anything's better than the current black hole) but is sticking firm to their LISTEN, THERE ARE NO INTRUDERS THIS YEAR guns:

"Behindbigbrother.com suggests you take this information with a grain of salt."

Um, like we don't already do that with everything BBBA says??

UPDATE, Sunday night.

So now we ARE supposed to take this information seriously. This whole Intruders thing is getting awfully embarrassing, eh, guys.


(More on that tomorrow.)

Ok, so it was news to us (and dammit, we're sticking with it!)

No more lame What's on BBBA Radio Last Week, forum round-ups and Lasseters freebies this week. Uh-uh. Those "eagle-eyed" news hounds over at BBBA have finally got their hands on something.


Rory didn’t audition
Received a call out of the blue

"Live stream watchers have caught Rory speaking about this year’s audition process, stating that he did not audition for the 2008 season."

Can't you just hear the exclamation marks and the sheer indignance?? They then tear off to secure precious audio of the damning evidence and warn us to Stay Tuned!!

Someone shoulda read the Geelong Advertiser on April 29 where a friend of Rory's openly admitted:

"He didn't actually audition for this series, they just called him up and asked him to be a housemate," Mr McInerney said."

With it, much?


UPDATE: Hours later us outsiders are getting frantic. Where is this damaging audio?? Where??

BBBA forum users, on the other hand, remain composed:

"Yawn. This story was in the news weeks ago (as has been mentioned by other posters in this thread) so why is it headline news on BBBA's home page????"

UPDATE #2: Five hours later the deeply incriminating audio has been whisked onto BBBA's front page and... pretty much confirms what was said three weeks ago.

The BBBA Top Ten #2

Whatever happened to...

10. Celebrity forum poster Susannah?

9. And Thomas?

8. Where'd Geoff go?

7. Anyone seen Brainle.. sorry, "Doublethink"?

6. Where's quote "Good friend of Behind Big Brother, Tim Brunero" unquote? He was promised....

5. But then so was Nikki Osborne.

4. Where's that nifty "BBBA Radio has 0 listeners" thingo from last year? (Actually, losing that is probably a good idea, eh.)

3. When are those SYTYCD judges due again?

2. Whatever happened to podcasts?

And the number one whatever-happened-to question?

1. Whatever happened to BBBA's balls?

We'll have what he's having

In a vivid When Harry Met Sally moment on BBBA Radio this week, moderator "Will" discovers a whole heap of adjectives that in previous years would have caused a site-wide meltdown. Just feel the momentum build in this verbal orgasm:

"Not that bad; traditional; entertaining; quite happy, that show is fantastic; what a true eviction interview should be; excellent; great; the right stuff; stuff that's interesting; revealing; our housemates; funny shit; all time best; didn't bother me; didn't infringe; rated well; won it's timeslot easily; panders well; fun Friday night viewing; STICKING TO THE CORE IDEAS OF THE SHOW! COMPLETELY ENGAGING!!"

Haha. Officially. Love. It.
