A new low [Big Brother]

“Several reliable sources have confirmed that another celebrity will be entering the Big Brother Australia house, this time in the form of Tara Reid.”

Sigh.

He’s not watching you any more [Big Brother]

Behind Big Brother reports that the long-running reality series might not survive through to 2009 (that distant roar you can hear is the sound of a thousand wizened couch potatoes whooping in victory).

If the franchise does manage a ninth season we should expect an extreme makeover much greater in scale than the piddling achanges made to the format this year – for starters, the show could return in a different timeslot, maybe something more more like America’s thrice-weekly US Big Brother. Which, let’s face it, would be a welcome change. The daily show is boring.

Here’s my free advice for Big Brother: what everyone really wants to see you do is destroy the housemates’ fragile sanity by messing with them constantly. One of the reasons the show is so tedious is that the housemates are too comfortable; make the house an unpleasant place to live, and hey presto! Instant drama.

Advantage: Goldman [Big Brother]

Kyle Sandilands, watch your back: Mike Goldman smoked you when he stepped up to Big Brother hosting duties tonight. And he even has chemistry with Jackie O, an occurrence so rare that it’s actually been rated a scientific impossibility! Sandilands: if you value your job, don’t chuck any more sickies.

There’s a reason they don’t broadcast this stuff on TV [Big Brother]

Why wouldn’t you want to shell out actual money for Big Brother’s VIP content when he’s offering gold like this:

Where’s my credit card?!

Travis out of the house [Big Brother]

… for now, anyway. (I’m actually relieved Travis isn’t gone for good – a reaction that makes me feel a little weird, like when you idly try on a pair of sunglasses thinking they’ll look rubbish but they unexpectedly look a bit cool). Per the official site:

Early [Friday] evening Travis was accidently [sic] squirted in the eye with Shower Gel [sic, again – why is “shower gel” capitalised?] by Ben. Immediately after the incident, Ben assisted Travis in washing out his eye with water. Travis went on and competed in FNL but complained that his eye was  sore and he was feeling unwell.

The Big Brother house doctor was called to attend to Travis, and he recommended that Travis go to hospital to be treated and as a precaution, he stayed there overnight.

Behind Big Brother reveals that Ben “accidently” squirted Travis in the eye with Shower Gel after accidentally ambushing him in the bathroom with accidental assistance from Nobbi and Rory during a prank they accidentally played. Accidents do happen!

Intruder alert [Big Brother]

Some wag – probably a boneheaded network executive who doesn’t realise that internet promotion actually helps his crappy programming – already pulled down the Big Brother promo depicting the fresh meat that’s entering the house this Sunday. In exchange, more pics and bios of the intruders are after the jump.

Definitely more of the same [Big Brother]

Yesterday Rhianna was outed as a Big Brother intruder, and now the two others going into the house this Sunday have also been revealed:

The 52-year-old auctioneer might be interesting (he can be mates with Terri!), but Rhianna and the girl-chasing surfie “Cherry” could’ve come straight out of Big Brother’s Housemate-o-matic.

More of the same [Big Brother]

Goulburn local Rhianna will reportedly be this year’s first Big Brother intruder, entering the house this Sunday:

Another bubbly blonde with a boob job? Boring.

Corey is as smart as his skin is clear [Big Brother]

Say you’re one of the most notorious teens in the country. There’s few people who don’t know your name and your age, and thanks to your highly publicised appearance on an infamous reality show, there are few people who don’t know what you look like under those ridiculous sunglasses.

So what do you do? Yes: you try to sneak into a nightclub using a fake ID.

Corey, please stop abusing peroxide. It’s damaging the remains of your brain.

I’m pretty sure Corey Worthington and Carson Kressly appearing in the same room is a sign of the apocalypse:

One more pic of Carson’s Big Brother cameo, which airs on Ten tonight, after the jump.
