We already know what a dismal pre-season Behind Big Brother had pedalling their brand. So here's a look back at some of their finer moments during the season.
My Top Ten BBBA moments for 2008 (and believe me, it wasn’t easy whittling this down to just ten):
10. What Network Ten/ESS said:
"...we look forward to (Rima's) decision on whether she will return to the House."
What BBBA said instead, and was forced to retract:
"(Rima)...as such will not be returning to the Big Brother house."
9. Three weeks after an article in The Geelong Advertiser made the rounds, BBBA goes tearing off to secure audio of:
"Live stream watchers have caught Rory speaking about this year’s audition process, stating that he did not audition for the 2008 season."
8. "Rumours are suggesting that everyone’s favourite host Kyle will be entering the house on Sunday - think Gretel in the Mastercard challenge circa season one.
7. BBBA Radio touts an interview with 2DayFM’s newsreader/plant Geoff for weeks, only to have to send someone to drag him out of a restaurant to talk to them on the night. (I still crack up when I think of that one!)
6. Some completely fabricated rubbish the boys were forced to retract after hypnotist Peter Power’s visit:
“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.
“David apparently got a little hot under the collar and things got a little... messy.”
5. Even more completely fabricated rubbish they were forced to retract:
“Audience members at FNL have confirmed that they were indeed told too (sic) boo Nobbi, even when he won.”
4. The day after Big Brother himself told us Terri was going back in to The House:
"Inside sources tell us that Terri has gone back into lockdown in NSW - indicating that she will most probably re-enter the house at some point in the very near future. Stay tuned!"
3. The day after one of their forumers found the goods on this year’s Intruders:
"Behindbigbrother.com suggests you take this information with a grain of salt."
2. "...we haven’t heard anything to substantiate rumours that moronic party boy Corey Worthington will have any kind of association with BB. In fact, all we’ve had from inside sources are firm denials."
1.Tara Reid is going into The House!!!
Which brings us to the 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."
