Oh Kerrie, what a conundrum this poses for me; do I tune in to this "game show" and watch how Nelson progresses, or do I do something more constructive with my life, like crocheting??

begin rant <I've never quite felt comfortable watching this made-for-television "reality". Who actually lives in a house, within a theme park, cut off from almost all external communication/information with a multitude of cameras filming your every move? Most people’s lives aren't really as boring as the contestants’ lives within the house, except of course, unless you're imprisoned.> end rant

Keep us informed Kerrie, because this cranky old git is interested, but can't be bothered watching

Andrew - the best part about Reggie is that she is now an airline hostess...

Wouldnt you feel safe knowing she was part of your cabin crew!?!

PMSL

Every time she gets on TV or radio, I'm sure a collective shiver must run through all Tasmanian's

pls be gentle with previous (as well as present ) housemates folks...remember they too have a mother out there somewhere who was/is squirming (but just between us, poor little reggie WAS a real space cadet last night

)

am glad someone thinks my boy is a cutey , andrew...but of course i have always thought so

sorry sooper cooper s, if i have to watch the bl00dy show you don't think i am going to save you the pain of finding out the doings for yourself do you?!?!?! i suffer, you suffer matey

whata crack up maryc...apprentice gardeners let loose on gretels hair LOL.

had a call today from a journo at the courier mail to come chat about nelson ... reckon i could end up being famous just for being his mum. LOL

phone running has been hot here all morning

Ha ha ha, that may need to be re-worded or people might get the wrong idea

It's interesting, a lot of non fans of BB seem to think that it is all about voyeurism but the reality is that it's a fascinating insight into the many facets of our own youth culture. Not that anyone here does it, but I think it would do some of the older generations of Australian's who are into youth bashing a good deal of benefit to sit down and watch BB so they understand youth culture a bit better and realise that were not all bored drug addled vandal loving hooligans.

Just so long as you give the folks at MINI2 a plug Kerrie, you'll be fine!

must be having a blonde moment andrew...am still only thinking of nelson as my cute son!!!

as a mum of 4+3 (blended family), can only agree with you about the talents and behaviour of so many of the young'uns.
in our family, we have even had the experience of a couple of the kids taking some detours only to find them heading down the main track once they get the hang of this thing called 'life' .

haven't watched bb before but knowing the kind of bloke nelson is (and therefore the range of personalities that would have been chosen to bounce around in the same bubble as him) , i reckon we will see nothing much more than the whole range of reactions and interactions that we have all experienced , only it will of course be condensed.

let the fun begin

dunno about him putting in a plug for mini2 minigolf but i do know that the only other pair of shorts he has taken into the house with him is his 15 year old brother's school sport shorts complete with the school emblem...not sure how that will go down

minigolf · May 9th, 2005, 05:48 AM

I meant for you to give the plugs, when doing all your media guff!

We'll have to disagree on this point. My wife's a fan of BB, but to me it seems as though nothing much actually happens in that house, it's a series of mundane conversations between uninteresting people. I'm basing my opinion on past series, I'm sure Kerrie's son is the exception to my observation.

Really?

In all seriousness, Kerrie, congratulations, I hope Nelson does well.

Haha, great work Kerrie!

AndrewH · May 9th, 2005, 10:29 AM

Less than 24 hours and he's already thrown up

If you do end up having to go up in front of the whole country Kerrie, you'll definitely have to wear a Mini related item of clothing
