Twittering this week

Sadly, we're away from the comfort of our usual Big Brother den this week. We've taken to Canberra, where our 'real' work has us at Parliament House. Which means very, very long hours with this week of budget joy. Which means workmates want the in-house television for the broadcast of budget announcements from the chamber. Which means they are unlikely to react too kindly to our demands that they turn the television over for Big Brother.

We may work for a Senator from the Australian Greens party, who are notorious for giving nearly anything a hearing at least once, but that doesn't mean they're putting this budget malarkey on hold for the important twittering that needs to take place. Saving the forests... what a waste of priorities.

So, much as it pains us, the twittering may be a little quiet for a bit. We're hoping to at least make it to the hotel in time to twitter Big Mouth tonight, but who knows.

Enjoy!

Twitter coverage

Another reminder, our little twitter community is growing by the day. For an easy way to chat to other Big Brother followers as the show goes live why not join twitter and come play.

Twitter is free, takes less than a minute to join up to and provides a great way to meet other people following the show.

Join, visit our profile here, follow us, then check our favourites to see what everybody else has to say. From there you can follow whoever you like and talk backwards and forwards to your heart's content.

See you there!

Friday Night Live

Let it be known that we believe Friday Night Live to be the work of one or more "special ed" interns at the Big Brother HQ.

The shitty scripts, the poor presenters (with the exception of Bree) and the lack of any new ideas.

That said, we're prepared to give it another go this year and will be on the twitterfeed to check it all out.

Let's see if this year is any improvement...

Opening Night

Well, here we go. Our first chance to meet housemates, get to know the faces that we'll be stuck with over the next few months and see just how these new hosts plan to operate.

We recommend tuning in to our twittercast, of course, but you should also check in on Defamer who are liveblogging the whole affair.

And now, for something completely different

You can find us twittering Big Brother through the whole season! For short, simple updates and live commentary just head over to:
