“I looked into the blacks of his eyes”? Big Brother 10

By on July 16, 2008

I’m not planning to blog as much Big Brother 10 from the USA as much as I do the Australian and UK versions, I swear. For a start, the USAn version is populated much more by fifth-rate Hollywood wannabes. In some ways, it’s more fake – the soap-opera set, the dreadful narration and commentary. In [...]

All aboard the Big Brother douchetrain: Nobbi and Ben’s inexpert manipulation

By on June 7, 2008

I’ve been writing a little about the bullying campaign against Travis in the Big Brother Australia house in this 2008 season. Ringleader Nobbi took out the Friday Night Live games tonight, prompting for the first time a resounding round of boos from the studio audience.

All Fun and Games: Bullying and assault in the Big Brother house

By on June 1, 2008

Update 3 Jun 08: Eye on Big Brother is now saying that the product squirted into Travis’s eye was not a body cleansing product as BB had claimed, but a shower mould remover, as we at Hoyden About Town suspected. Keep an eye on the comments at former housemate Tim Brunero’s place, “Oh Brother“, to [...]
