Big Brother Australia...Bugger All

Phrase of the day...Bugger all, which is Aussie slang for very little or nothing.

The Australian public's fascination with the blatant manipulation of an insecure and needy young woman continues to elude me. Madaline may have brought bugger all to the game, but she was easier to stomach than "Prince Charming" and "Lady Jadey".

Speaking of nauseating...

This week's Freeze Task ceased to be entertaining the moment that Tully strutted in and proceeded to slime the lower half of Drew's face. She then announced that she is now single, which is hardly surprising considering that she did bugger all but whinge and cheat on her girlfriend the entire time she was in the Big Brother house.

As for Mikkayla...I did not forget to blog about her eviction last week.

I could not find any Aussie slang for two-faced, hypocritical harridan, and there was bugger all else to say.

Big Brother Australia...Emotional Hijacker

First word of the day..."Whinge".

Whinge is Aussie slang for complain persistently in a peevish or irritating way.

Tully managed to be both peevish and irritating, FOR FIFTY-SEVEN DAYS. Even in situations where a positive attitude would have served her better, Tully radiated negativity, polluting the positive air with her constant whining, ABOUT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.

Second word of the day..."Sook".

Sook is Aussie slang for sulk, often to the point of behaving like a small child. It is also used to describe an overly emotional or sensitive person.

"Typhoon Tully" threw a tantrum whenever she didn't get her way, which was often. Attempts by reasonable adults to address her immature behavior were met with hostility and resulted in more tantrums.

Tully also used frequent histrionics to emotionally hijack situations that revolved around others. One of many possible examples of this was Tully's predictable sobbing fits during evictions that drew the attention away from the evicted housemate and onto her.

Last word of the day...

It is a universally recognized word for a woman that flagrantly disrespects the feelings of her significant other by engaging in romantic behavior with someone else.

I don't think that any of you need me to tell you what it is.

Big Brother Australia...A Bludger and A Dag

First word of the day..."Bludger".

This is Aussie slang for "a lazy person that always relies on others to do things for him", and is an accurate description of manchild Rohan, whose shiftless ways got him nominated for eviction by his fellow housemates.

The simplest tasks overwhelmed Rohan. Preparing food was too stressful. Setting the table for a meal was insurmountable because the concept of placemats was as baffling to him as long division is to a kid still learning simple addition and subtraction. And he can forget a career at Baskin Robbins unless he learns to take a proper ice cream order.

Our second word of the day is "Dag", which is Aussie slang for "a funny person or goof".

Xavier began his Big Brother experience as a "happy-go-lucky" dag that took to prison life in the Halfway House with good form, only to become "snappy" (which means the same thing in Australia that it does here) the following week. One bad week spent picking verbal arguments with the wrong people (Tully and Heidi) and offending his new friend Tim by sucking up to the "meatheads and the models" got him nominated.

What got him evicted? It seems that Tully's incessant whining is more entertaining to four percent more of the voting population of Australia than Xavier's silliness. Go figure.
