I absolutely loved Gretel asking the audience to say “Hello, house!”… and then demanding primly that if they were going to do it, they had better enunciate clearly and correctly. Because you just know the housemates - passionate defenders of literacy and pronunciation that they are - would be appalled to hear the English language raped by a pack of braying bogans.
I am thrilled whenever Hotdogs refers to himself in the third person. It reminds me of why I thought he was a stupid cunt I have inappropriate feelings towards him from time to time. “I’ve been a bad Dog.” - WOOF to that, says I!
I also sat back and enjoyed Gretel asking Christie’s sister Carlie which housemate she fancied, and after Carlie replied “Ummm… Dean, I guess…”, Gretel hastily replied “He’s taken… and you’re fifteen.” Yes, Dean’s much too old for a teen lover. People in glass houses, Gretel.
It is always wonderful when Gretel begins hearing Big Brothers voice in her head (via a ear-piece, alas). It’s as though she’s forgotten to take some essential medication before the show. She begins talking to the air and making movements with her body which seem a lot like a homage to Law & Order: Criminal Intent’s Detective Goran… performed by someone on crack.
Tim’s muscles - he is going to be so completely buff in a week or two. EVEN THOUGH HE IS HOT NOW!
Did we all love when Rachael’s name got announced and Geneva began clapping until she realised that it might not be appropriate or look too good?
I had a chuckle when Gretel asked Rachael “Who did you like least in the house?” and Rachael replied something along the lines of “David, because I didn’t know how to take him. Sometimes he was really mean, but other times he could be really sweet.” That’d be Greg, love. Confusing I know.
Finally, I might just add now that I thought Gretel was in fine form tonight towards the end of the show. She was appropriately gentle and mothering when required, but didn’t gloss over everything too much either.
As for Rachael, well - I actually got to a point by the end of the week where I didn’t want kill her - and considering what an insanely irritating character she started out as, that’s an achievement not to be sniffed at.
I suppose the next big question is… who will David find to start dramas with in a thinly disguised effort to woo Dean?

Hehe... Christie's sister was a dear little thing.
Rachel's boobs are constantly popping out of her dress. Respect.

Didn't Christie's sister look so much like her... yay... two Christies.. what the world needs......... yippie......... not.
I missed that bit where Geneva clapped. First I knew was by reading this thread LOL.. guess I was too enthralled by the reality series on the ABC about living in the past, so sue me for flicking during the commercials. My timing sucks.
I kinda wanted Geneva to leave tonight.. she was getting more irritating than Rachael and that's saying something!!!!

No no, keep her on I say. Sure she has a small personality disorder but she's real cute and always looks so damn glowing and healthy. Once I'm done testing my "Yo Girlfriend, You Giving Me Da Horn!" purifying skin cleanser/toner/revitaliser/deep cell conditioning/nuclear radiation treatment skin lotion on the sweet little bilbies and rare northern hairy-nosed wombats down at the lab, I'm gonna headhunt Geneva to be my, um, promotions model at the launch.
I too was surprised by how little I wanted to trim Rachael's head off with a big pair of nail scissors by the end of the week. Still, can't say I'm devastated by her departure. Who's next? The suspense kills me.

I even loved Rachael a little bit by the end of it. So helplessly clueless and all, and I'm such a sucker for a social runt.
Plus she doesn't have mutant squinty eyes like Christie, and a vicious girlhating soul (witness her territoriality over BoganGreg). And if Geneva thinks that Christie is "hot" (as evidenced in her whinge about her relative fugliness in the house) then she too needs to go.
Now if only Tim can perform some re-education on EvilHotnessKate then I can be resolved to back that horse...

How about when Gretel told Rachel that 'confliction' is not a word. Rachel retorts the next night by saying "confliction is a word, by the way", as if to educate Gretel.
