BBUK Update: Aussie Sara Pashes On With Cookie Lovin’ Kathreya…
4:46PM Jess McGuire | Bad news, Enrique Iglesias – it seems your former tongue buddy, Big Brother UK housemate Sara Folino, has found a new “special friend” and it’s… Kathreya the Cookie Lover! Wait, WHAT?
On Big Brother 9 U.K. this week, that’s exactly what happened: Contestants Sara Folino and Kathreya Kasisopa shared a snog in the pool. Of course it wasn’t as romantic as a goth pool party kiss would likely seem — other roommates were there to “encourage” them along.
Though both Sara and Kathreya have yet to speak about their sexuality on the show, Kathreya ended their pool party by saying: “I kiss you tomorrow. Same time. In the pool.” I wonder what the next theme party will be — Mardi Gras? (Sara is Australian, and you know how gay their Mardi Gras is.)
I love how pleased Kathreya seems by the encounter. “I kiss you tomorrow” is going to be my line of choice this evening when I stroll around the Northcote Social Club hunting down Dave McCormack… or, frankly, anyone too drunk to run away.

Enrique Iglesias’ Former Aussie Plaything Causing A Stir In The British Big Brother House
4:28PM Jess McGuire | Who said rainy British weather leads to prudish behaviour? There’s nothing dour about a spunky housemate getting down to the bare essentials on television, and that’s exactly what latest Big Brother UK housemate (and born and bred Australian lass, no less) has done.
The first ever Aussie in the British Big Brother house is causing quite a stir – stripping down to her bikini, even though it was raining.
The sultry Angelina Jolie lookalike, Sara Folino, 27, has been working in the US for music station MTV. She moved to London five years ago after being kicked out of home in Melbourne.
Well done. That’s Gold Coast compound behaviour if ever I saw it. Given that Sara was spotted pashing on with singer Enrique Iglesias at an MTV party, this is simply the latest thrilling event in Sara’s VERY INTERESTING existence. Bravo! Encore!

7:47PM Jess McGuire | Big Brother fans will remember the joy last year of discovering we could watch the amazing series (featuring a house full of totally entertaining/occasionally insane folk including a Tourettes afflicted musician – he eventually won the series – and a spoiled and completely mental woman named Nikki) on YouTube.
If you missed Nikki’s brilliance, here’s a taste.
Anyway. Defamer Australia have a wonderful correspondent currently living in London who is sending us brilliantly succinct updates about the new series.
Enjoy the first of many missives from Will, Defamer Australia’s Official UK Correspondent.
The UK version of Big Brother just started and the house until Friday was a woman-only house! There are some old ladies in there too like 55 and 60 years old. The 55 year old is an old hippie who likes going on protests and wearing hemp and being a hardcore
leftie, and the 60 year old is a complete Tory and small business owner and very posh though I understand she has been weeing in the shower – to the nation’s disgust. For some reason the Tory woman has turned the leftie hippie woman into her bitch! I just don’t understand how this happened but to be frank I haven’t been watching very closely. There is also a dreadful late 30s woman with pink hair who is a tired looking raver-type, fat pants and all – she lists her occupation as ‘cleaner’ and claims to never have turned on a computer in her life.
So there you have it. More »
