Highlights from tonight’s BBBA Radio thread.
Dave: As usual, we'll be coming to you from 7.30pm. And, as is becoming a regular “occurance,” we've got a special ex housemate on the show tonight. Considering we've got intruders entering on Sunday night, we decided to hear from an intruder this week... Let the guessing game begin
(One kid can’t stay, has to study for their maths test; "Goffy" is waiting intently.)
6.43pm: Will: Some idiot revealed the guest on the homepage
7.27pm: An excited kid, who obviously doesn't have a maths test, starts a countdown: “3 mins left, i can't wait”
7.31pm: Same excited kid: YAY they are back on the air :P
7.37pm: Dave tries to grab some listeners: indeed we are weekly recap atm, not too late to tune in!
7.45pm: Dissatisfied listener: Hi, I am trying to tune in but the dial up streams are not working for me. The broadband streams seem to work, however because my broadband is currently shaped they dont work properly (cutting out every few seconds to load). Whenever I try and load the dial streams, it says "connecting to media...opening media...Ready" and stops there.
7.51pm: Dave apologises.
7.59pm: Excited kid has no idea who the guest was.
8.01pm: Dave: Worst interview ever.
8.17pm: Markie Mark: Wow! What a horrible interview
8.30pm: Excited kid: noooooooo don't go yet
(SHUT UP, Excited Kid. Let them go!!)
9.25pm: TiGS admits to being the idiot, promises another "mystery guest" next week.
9.27pm: The Kid Who Was Supposed To Be Studying Maths: darren was boring you should get your money back
I'm with you, Maths Kid. But how do the three other listeners get their hour back?

About them Intruders
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.

BBBA Quote of the Year
Vid on Peter Timbs:
"... I feel as though TV Week just needed to fill some space so they made up some crap."
He'd know.

The fall and fall of BBBA
How do you know your website has completely disappeared off the radar?
When even ol' pals News Ltd look to Facebook and the Official Site forum users as the definitive sources for Big Brother fan opinion. The Official Site!
Geez, that after all those free news.com.au plugs this year?
Bitches.

If it's hard-hitting and it's news, we'll get it. Sooner or later
Great to see things are finally improving over at BBBA.
After flooring us only days ago with the three-week-old scandal that Rory didn't audition for Big Brother, here we are barely back on our feet and KABAAM! Off come the socks again!
From BBBA yesterday:
Rima set to sue producers?
"Jackie O has suggested in an interview with SAFM that if Rima comes face to face with Big Brother again, it may be in a court room rather than the Diary Room."
They even got a quote!! From Jackie herself!!
“We think she’s going to sue us instead, Last time we spoke to her, she was itching to come back on the show but the family has got into her.”
Course it's all lifted from an Adelaide Advertiser story dated May 19th but hey. At least it's only nine-day-old news this time.
Keep up the good work, guys!

From the “I couldn’t make this stuff up” file
I think we’re far enough into this season to revisit some of BBBA’s wilder claims of what's up this year:
“Uplate’s uninterrupted feed will feature phone games during the broadcast. Digital viewers will have the choice to listen to the house feed or the studio feed (similar to the sporting channels on Foxtel).”
Did we mention Nikki Osborne is hosting Uplate this year??
See if you can follow this one:
“Nomination Night: "The Gamble". A new part of nominations will be introduced on Monday Nights called 'The Gamble'. Housemates can choose to play 'The Gamble' which involves:
If the housemate can pick the three least popular housemates in the house, from the previous nation vote, in order - the will be free from eviction.
If the housemate incorrectly picks the three least popular housemates or mixes the order, they will automatically be put up for nomination.
Footage of 'The Gamble' can be viewed optionally by the other housemates.”
More on Monday’s nominations:
“(The) Nomination show may not be a 'hosted' program, but run like the daily show with a voice over. The Monday daily show would be extended for Nominations each week. All nominations will be pre-recorded.”
The Friday Night Live White Room:
“The loser of (FNL) will be put into an empty room for 24 hours - similar to the 'Survivor' Exile Island. This room includes a television with footage of who each of the housemates voted for.”
New and Exciting!! punishments:
“Housemates who forget to wear their microphones will be punished in a new exciting way, stay tuned.”
Stay tuned for… how much longer?
And my personal favourite:
”Talks are in place with the 'Facebook'. Each housemate would have a Facebook account, and could have up to one hour a week to blog and communicate with fans from the house. Of course, comments would be screened. Housemates for the first time would be encouraged 'promote' themself to win the competition.”
Doesn’t really have you queuing up for lottery numbers does it?
