Episode 1 HL's

LOVE THE SHOCK ON JOSIE'S FACE AS IT REGISTERS THAT SHE HAS BEEN  SELECTED!! 

THE CELEBRATORY LEAP OVER THE SOFA :D 

*Josie kisses Steve's bald head when he enters and gives another famous thumbs up to Ben.

NATHAN LEANS IN FOR THE SMOOCH

JUST BEFORE JOHN'S NAME IS CALLED OUT 

*John explains to Ben that he doesn't work but used to be a welder (vehicle body builder) and that he applied for UK BB 

as the Aussie one was axed. 

*John announces his amazement to a surprised Steve and Ben that when he lined up for the auditions he'd never seen it 

snow and be sunny at the same time. 

*John says that he's not phased about how long he lasts in the show whether that be '2 hours or 2 weeks' but he would 

like to be in til the end of the series and knows he won't win as he's from Australia! 'How would the whole of the UK 

feel if their last Big Brother was won by a foreigner?!' Ben says he doesn't have to worry about that as he 'isn't 

French or German!!' John wanted to 'experience it with 16 or however many out there people and see .. 

how you go!'

*Mario is hot in his mole suit and struggling to pour a glass of champers with his mole claws so Josie tells him he should 

'put a bit of ice on your head, Mario!' 

JJJG TRIO CHILLING IN THE BACKGROUND

*Govan asks Josie and Rachel (while in the bathroom) if they can believe that their friends will be at home watching now. 

Josie 'No, I can't believe it!' and then is horrified to discover (according to her) that she's 'having the worst 

hair day in the world!' (Slight exaggeration as we saw muuuuuuch worse when her roots nearly reached her lobey 

lobes - John LOVED her sex hair look .. not so much the 'scarecrow' look!) 

*John is going over the names of HM's in the garden with Govan and Nathan. He clarifies that 'Corin is the really 

tanned girl?' And asks how to pronounce Shabby's name 'shabu???!' he is corrected that it's 'Shabby.' 'Shabby? 

Shabby?! Is that not an offensive word here? You're looking a bit Shabby..' He gets Govan to spell it out for 

him and then decides that's 'easy!' Govan answers his query about the Irish girl's name but John struggles with this too    

'Keevon?' 

*The HM's rush to take a peek at Mario's abode as BB broadcasts that the Mole hole is now open for Mario. John 'surely 

they're not gonna make him sleep in there.. surely?' Josie is concerned for Mario when he shows her the mole 

hole 'Mario, it's cold in here mate! It's really cold in there! Aw, mate .. are you sure you're gonna be 

alright in there?' Mario promises he'll be fine and that he would 'endure far worse to be in here.'

*John claims that he can 'pee sitting down' after Shabby boasts that she is able to pee standing up. 

                                          *More of the HM's getting to know each other snippets in my live feed night 1 blog. 

John leans forward so that he can have a better view of Josie talking. 

JOHN TELLS THE GROUP HE HATES BEING CALLED JJ 'BUT I WILL ALLOW IT!'

*John's first broadcasted visit to Diary room “At first I thought you'd put in the worst housemates in history 

(so did I initially!) .. but then you get to know everyone in a pretty short period of time.. cos an hour in 

here is like 5 anywhere else!” he's so glad that they put in the 'wizard! I knew straight away he's a 100 %er! 

He's a good bloke. I like him a lot' He also thinks Benji's a really good guy and Mario 'he's probably the least 

person I would have put in there (the mole hole)' He tells BB he's been calling Davo 'the wizard' since he met him 

(when BB asks for confirmation on who he is referring to) he thought Dave had a Jedi cloak and 'wouldn't be 

surprised if he whacks out a wand from that treasure chest!' 

*John likes Nathan but doesn't get the impression that Nathan likes him; as he looks angry all the time 'that might 

only be because he's got 1 eyebrow! So he constantly looks like he's angry like *does angry noise*' he 

goes on to say that Nathan has 'this frown when he looks at me like he thinks 'I'm a tosser! Or that I'm just 

some Skip from Australia that thinks he's .. thinks he's .. the sh-t and .. and that's not how I'm like at all, 

I don't think.'

*The HM's are puzzled at the discovery of the beach ball that Mario planted. John tells the guys that it said favourite on it 

(Mario had written Josie!) and is suspicious that BB set it up 'maybe he threw it over!' (pinning it on the mole)

*The highlights end with my favourite quote of the episode - JOHN: It's seriously.. seriously  morning 

out there, isn't it?
