Big Brother Australia...Gobsmacked



Word of the day..."Gobsmacked".

This is Aussie slang for astounded, and this is what it looks like.


An unofficial poll conducted by Big Brother in the privacy of the Diary Room revealed that the majority of the housemates thought that Mikkayla would be Australia's choice for eviction. Apparently, the "popular" people in the house assumed that their public would feel the same way about them that they do about each other.

The pertinent question is not what Jasmin did to get herself nominated by her fellow housemates and then forsaken by the Australian public. It is, how did she not see it coming?


Jasmin was two-faced. She had to know that someone as sharp as Mikkayla would notice the inconsistencies between Jasmin's treatment of her in one-on-one interactions and Jasmin's treatment of her when the "popular" housemates were around.


Jasmin had a big mouth. She had to know that constantly policing Tim's behavior and loudly airing her views about Jade while parked in the same room with her was going to offend them.


Jasmin was selfish. She had to know that she broke the girl code when she kissed Ed, and that it would hurt Jade, who had a thing for him. She also had to know that refusing to trade beds with Jade, even though the housemates had agreed that the nominated housemates would occupy the second bedroom, would be seen for the petty act that it was.

As an adult, Jasmin had to know how her actions would be perceived, and that those actions would have consequences. She either did not care, or believed that her "popular" status in the house would protect her.

She was wrong.
