On today’s podcast, I have two eliminated housemates from Big Brother Australia. I have been looking forward to chatting with GracieMae all season and to be honest getting to know Teejay was also a massive bonus in today's catch up. GracieMae was the fun loving original housemate with the feels of an old school Big Brother contestant. Her shock eviction was pretty epic with Minee but even more shocking was Lewis decision to take a 5,000 offer over allowing her return to the competition. After be...

On today’s podcast, I the next three eliminated housemates from Big Brother Australia. Again, Big Brother seems to be evening up the score… with two male housemates being eliminated straight after a female intruder Bella was evicted on Monday night. Jake and Oli were sent packing and now I am certain the only way to survive this year's house of love version of Big Brother is to be in a couple. Last week I said the show seems to have veered away from strategy and nomination talk - but as the numb...

On today’s podcast, I the next three eliminated housemates from Big Brother Australia. I am pretty dubious about this but Big Brother seems to be evening up the score… with two boys being eliminated in a double eviction straight after Annalise was evicted on Monday night. Zach and Luke were sent packing and I think that has a lot to do with their inability to find a partner to couple up with. This series is about find finding love and as the show veers away from strategy and nomination talk - it...
