BB08: Rima’s Broken Leg Takes Her Out Of The Big Brother House For A Couple Of Weeks

2:44PM Jess McGuire | It wasn’t just a weekend full of Logies news, you know. Somewhere in Queensland there are a group of people no one has any affection for battling it out for the right to possibly fill in for Millsy on a late night SMS quiz show if the Hilton-shagging host ever gets the flu. And one of those little troopers – so to speak – is now in hospital after a disastrous Friday Night games! Big Brother’s one-metre tall housemate Rima has been forced to leave the show after breaking her leg last night. The Victorian belly dancer injured herself during the Friday Night Live show, which involves housemates competing in a series of physical challenges in order to win a prize. A Network Ten spokesman said the pint-sized contestant was hanging from a beam on a tilting platform when she fell awkwardly. She was treated by medical staff before being transported to hospital, where x-rays confirmed she had broken her leg. “She is in fantastic spirits with her husband Carl by her side,” the spokesman said. And Kyle Sandilands no doubt hovering at the door, lecherously whispering “Just pash her, Carl… go on. Touch her. Just one kiss. That’s it… that’s it, Carl… linger… soak it in… You’re a bad boy and she’s a naughty girl…” It will take several weeks for Rima to recover from her injury – a process that will not take place inside the house. However the spokesman left open the possibility of Rima returning at a later date. In a statement released by Network Ten, Rima said she would conduct media interviews at a later date. What else can she add? Yep. I’m still hurt. Uh-huh. No, I don’t think Australia got to know the real me in the seventeen minutes I appeared on their screens. Did I “shoot” myself? Yeah, damn straight I did. Glitter gets me hot. “I just want you to know that the hospital food is much better than the food in the Big Brother house,” she said. And hopefully not delivered by conveyer belt, although you never know with the public health system these days etc. More »

BB08: This Year’s Series Is Already Making The Baby Jesus Cry

2:07PM Jess McGuire | Oh god. Firstly, Midget Porn TM. Excellent. We’ve all seen the photos of Rima, yeah? We’d publish them here but we don’t want to be sued, or something. Maybe it’s cos we’re highbrow. Whatever. We’re still rooting for her. Secondly, the Big Brother online diary. Often a source of endless amusement and insights into the psyche of the housemates, this entry just made our heart hurt. Rima and Dixie are chatting in the lounge. While the other HMs are fast asleep in the bedroom, Dixie and Rima bond in the lounge. Dixie tells Rima she thinks Renee is one of the most genuine people in the House. “She’s no different in here to what she is in the real world,” Dixie explains. Rima agrees, “The Aussies love that personality to win. They love it.” Dixie says she hopes Renee wins. “I don’t have any interest in playing the game,” she says. Already we’re hearing the term “playing the game”? We’d make a Big Brother Clichéd Statements Bingo! card for the folks at home to print out and play along with during the next couple of weeks, but first we need to slice ourselves with a rusty knife, roll in salt, and then soak in a nice bath filled with lemon juice. Finally, Corey Worthington is entering the house. And releasing a Beastie Boys cover. PUNCH US IN THE HEAD UNTIL WE LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS, PLEASE. Other than that amazing interview on Today Tonight, has Corey displayed any signs of being an entertaining character? Our only hope is that Corey uses his STUNNING PARTY THROWING SKILLS to somehow smuggle a bewildered bus of tourists expecting to go nuts at Wet & Wild into the compound and then gets them drunk enough to ensure the entire house is trashed beyond recognition and this year’s crop of contestants are then forced to clean up $40,000 worth of damage by eviction night, or live in the squalor for the rest of the season. Oh, and a shout out to Sonia Kruger – thanks for bigging up our opening night live blog on breakfast radio yesterday! Defamer Australia’s Editor’s mother is a Mix 106.5FM devotee and texted us saying “Sonia Kruger gave your blog defamer a plug this morning re big brother! She said it was so funny what HE wrote?” Tina Sparkle, you have confused our mother. She now wonders whether she secretly birthed a boy child 27 years ago, and the charity haircut was a subtle way of breaking the news to her. For future reference, Defamer Australia is written by ladies, for ladies. Well, not really. But we’ve definitely got breasts. PS: We secretly hope Tina Sparkle found the blog entry because it was sandwiched nicely between two Todd McKenney “pieces” and she’d been Googling his long weekend adventures to pass the time. More »
