I feel like they need to give Mel an omnidirectional headset mic, like they used to give Gretel. The handheld mic just isn't doing it for me.

I mean, they've never bribed a finalist on the final night on any version of Big Brother I've watched before! (They did do that on the Dutch version many years ago; the bribed finalist actually would have won the whole thing had he not quit.)

You mean Benjamin, right? His partner was also called Ben.

She's a bit problematic with her flawed stances, but I wouldn't feel bad if she won. I still want Emily to win, though! COME ON EMS!

Yes, sometimes they evict sixth and fifth place together and do a joint interview. The show was historically two hours long, though it was over two episodes on the same night (they'd take a 30-60 minute break before announcing the winner).

The UK routinely has a final of four or more housemates. It's not unprecedented.

I agree that Israel should be banned from Eurovision, but not for the reason you stated. The EBU allows countries from Europe and Europe-adjacent countries to be members. We should be equally annoyed at the fact that Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Australia are participating then.

Now we need a twist to be sponsored by the KFC Twister!

They've always been allowed to nominate strategically, but when they did, Big Brother wouldn't allow them to pussyfoot with their reasons. Usually a "flying under the radar" reason with ample evidence would be accepted.

Which is why I loved the hybrid vote. You can save your favourites, but you also have the option to evict someone who you want to see the back of.

Also, I loved how the final was called the Final Eviction, as it was a literal vote to evict to determine the winner.

I reckon it'll be Coco and Ed who won't survive this hurdle.

What I love about #BBAU is that they have never had more than three people in the house on the final day. Though I much prefer the original Final 2 format, with a vote to evict to determine the winner.

Sort of. Ten historically always had a final eviction the day before the final, so we'll have a final vote to save which will result in a double eviction, and then the vote to win will open but freeze on Sunday, resulting in a double eviction and ending up with a Final 3.

Your mum is correct. We are in Advent season, not Christmas.

Eww, Hogshit needs to get his grubby hands off this Canadian classic.

Me, a Filipino: Who are these Christmas people you talk of? 🙃🙃🙃
