One month on and where are the 2008 Big Brother housemates? What has happened to their dreams of further fame? What has happened to their in-house friendships? And what has happened to their deep tans and toned muscles? LIVENEWS.com.au gave them a call to see what they has to say for themselves, and more importantly what they said about each other…
Brigitte – The big news is Brigitte has moved to the Gold Coast to be with Cherry – and everyone thought that would last! The famously jobless one managed to squeeze her move away from the family home in between two Zoo shoots and one for Ralph. According to Terrance the 21-year-old called him recently at an appearance to get him to come down. He did and ended up compering a ‘manpower’ show, in which Brigitte was a judge. Apparently there’s still no love lost between her and Saxon.
Terri - Terri won the show, but now seems to have disappeared. Apparently she’s squirreled her money away in some high interest bank account and is tossing up whether to return to her job at Coles. News she was going to get a facelift with some of her money couldn’t be confirmed – nor whether she has had a chance to catch up with her idol Pauline Hanson.
Rima – While not at the BB finale (apparently she was annoyed at professional vulgarian Kyle Sandilands referring to her as a midget) she certainly hasn’t shunned her BB housemates. She was guest of honour in Dubbo for the party thrown for Dixie and Renee’s return. She’s apparently heading to Europe to further her performing career.
Terrance – Terrance can still talk you under the table. Your correspondent had a long mag with him – being careful to take regular breaks for rehydration. He’s been soul searching. He’s not sure he got what he wanted out of the show. He’s wondering if he would have had a better chance as an original HM because as an intruder he knew he couldn’t win and so just turned the Terrance nob up full bore rather than easing himself in strategically. He’s stared his own corporate speaking business ‘Star Presentations’, which stands for ‘Start Taking A Risk’. He’ll be speaking on vision, purpose, making dreams become reality and stepping outside the circle of going nowhere. He’s also writing a book called Get off your arse and stop whinging. And hoping to write another called Terrance’s bad Dad joke book. He’s happy to self publish if he has to. He’s also been offered a slot on Dixie’s Broken Hill radio show called ‘Terrance’s positive thinking tips for the Y Generation’.
Rory – Rory’s been mondo busy on the appearance circuit - he reckons he’s booked up until October the 4th. And of course he’s been catching up with Rhianna – he claims “as friends” but she reckons she’s spent the weekend down at his pad, but anyway. When asked about what everyone else is doing Rory said, “some are rockin’ out, some are moochin’ and some are rockin’ out and moochin”, how illuminating.
Travis – the squeaky voiced boy wonder is apparently doing a pilot for ‘a princess sparkles show’ with Brigitte – whatever that is. Otherwise he’s loving the attention of being a BB housemate and messing around with some radio segment somewhere someplace.
Nobbi – The nob has been having a lot of fun with the girls on the appearance circuit and playing host to Ben and Rory. The kombi man is excited to be currently taking out a mystery woman from el Salvadore – who apparently has a bit more of a brain than some of the girls on the appearance circuit. The nob severed his contract with Harry M Miller and is looking to sign up with Max Markson. He’s also writing about his Big Brother adventures.
Cherry – The ultimate player has managed to get himself a deal with a TV show comparing extreme sports. Or so they say.
Ben – Fresh from a week in Melbourne at Nobbi’s house the Nineteen-year-old is up for anything. He’s taken the semester off from law to explore possibilities. He’s been speaking to modelling and acting agencies as well as radio stations in his hometown of Perth. He’s thinking of moving to Melbourne. He’s amazed at the chick situation – he reckons the girls that approach him now wouldn’t have given him the time of day before BB.
Bianca – Apparently Bianca and Rory’s best mate, someone called Kahil, are together. The buxom one apparently flew down to see him for his birthday, and Kahil has sent the eighteen-year-old roses in the mail.
Alice – No-one had heard much from the vet. Apparently she’s a little scarred by the experience, disappointed all anyone ever talks to her about is the treadmill.
Renee – Good old Renee is back at the Abattoir and playing rugby. She’s apparently on with one of Cherry’s mates as well. The famously short-tempered one wants to travel and is saving up so she can take that trip to New York. Though she’s been a bit sick of late she’s still managing to organise a holiday for Rhianna’s daughter Mia so she can visit the famous Dubbo Zoo.
David – The fire fighter just signed a book deal with New Holland for his book on his childhood experiences in that cult called Losing My Religion. You remember the one that meant, when he escaped at Nineteen, he was in a ‘Bad Boy Bubby’ situation – having never seen a movie, swum at the beach, kissed a girl, eaten in a restaurant or used a remote control. For a while he did a regular segment with Dixie on Hype FM but he’s canned that. In between openings and the like he’s fighting fires and promoting the fire fighter’s calendar he’s in.
Rhianna – Rhianna’s been down to see Rory in Geelong. She’s met his dog stubby, or ‘stub-dog’ as he’s called and told LIVENEWS.com.au she cried when she had to go. The twenty-five-year-old had Rory up in Sydney for a week and did all the touristy things – Bondi Beach, Dinner at Centrepoint, and the Fishmarkets. And she says neither she nor Mia have had any backlash from the way she made Rory come in handy either. She’s back working for the bank in Leichhardt.
Saxon – Apparently the inked one is back at work driving the cement truck and trying to kiss girls. It must be his enlightened views on the Cronulla riots that brings them in.
Rebecca – She did her Zoo shoot and said her ultimate fantasy was to have a threesome with a girl. Even though in the house she found girls trying to pick her up ‘disgusting’.
Nathan – The virgin is apparently doing a radio show with a community radio station in his home town of Adelaide. He’s busy getting back with his girlfriend abut is apparently still hung up on Renee. He wants to do public speaking and seminars at schools about goal setting – and he wants to get into Kids TV.
Michael – It’s assumed he finished his tour with I Killed The Prom Queen.
Barney – Who knows.
So there you have it. A month after it all finished that’s where they’re up to. Now the only question you have to ask yourself is: Do you feel better for knowing?
