Tempers flare and insults are thrown in a petty fight on Wednesday as two Big Brother contestants spew about being nominated for eviction even though getting nominated for eviction is, like, the whole point of the competition.
Of course Kruges gets caught in the crossfire. To be fair, she does kind of stoke the flames. But that doesn’t mean she’s not shocked by the behaviour that unravels in front of her. It catches us all off guard — in the same way that intruder Tilly was caught off guard when she innocently tried a TikTok beauty hack involving needles and wound up with permanent scarring.
JAMES WEIR RECAPS: Read all the recaps here
Obviously we’re going to kick off this recap with the TikTok beauty fail because, the way the world is going, sometimes we just need to focus on good news and upbeat stories.
Tilly’s in the bathroom doing her makeup when she recalls the incident.
“I acupunctured my face recently and I got scratches all over my face,” she says while looking in the mirror and carefully dabbing on a cream that may or may not be antiseptic wound ointment. “I shouldn’t have done it — I copied a TikTok video. My whole face is scarred.”
I’m gonna say it: This is my favourite story ever. Channel 7 should option it and turn it into a three-part miniseries starring Jessica Marais.
But this joyous and nuanced tale of how Tilly acquired permanent facial scarring is interrupted when Jessica, one of the other intruders, gets called into the diary room to take a call from her brother who tells her their nana is close to passing away.
It’s very sad. Emotions bubble up and we yearn for the simpler days of the Big Brother mansion — a time when the only things we had to worry about were TikTok beauty hacks gone wrong.
Jessica pledges to honour her nan by winning the next big physical challenge. She makes it down to the final two in the game — but when the other finalist Mel proves to be a strong competitor, Jess has no choice but to play the nan card. She pleads with Mel to throw the competition and let her win. In return, Jess promises not to nominate Mel for elimination.
Mel’s response? Nah fanks. She ain’t throwin’ the game for a random old lady.
When Jess digs deep and manages to win all by herself, you better believe she doles out payback by nominating Mel for eviction.
Renata is also on the nomination hit list. Earlier in the day, Katie got in Jess’s ear with a plan of attack to take down both Mel and Renata. And to make sure one of those women gets voted out, Jess decides to make the third nominee some quiet nice guy called Sid, who everyone likes.
Tempers flare over the strategy and Renata lashes out.
Jess tries to calm her down. “It’s nothing personal, it’s only because I find you a huge threat-”
“No, no, no!” Renata cuts her off. “You are influenced by Katie, that’s what it is. It’s very upsetting because you’re a strong person and she influenced you!”
This is where it starts to get really passive aggressive and they both begin calling each other “honey” and “darl” but in really sarcastic voices.
“You think I am strong? I think you are weak!” Renata spits in her Lithuanian accent as she bundles up her clothes and bedding and declares she will not be sleeping in the same room as Jessica.
Meanwhile, Melissa is quietly fuming to some of the others about her nomination. She then goes and accidentally creates her own excellent reality TV catchphrase.
“It’s just is what I am,” she sighs.
I’m immediately copyrighting this phrase so I can use it as the title of my memoir.
You’d think some time apart for the afternoon would help everyone settle down, but they just spend the break stewing in their resentment. And hours later, when Kruges Zoom-calls in for the eviction, she can’t help but stir the pot with questions that she knows will rile everyone up again. Excellent work, Kruges.
As Jessica tries to explain herself, Renata interrupts with just an A+ passive aggressive insult.
“Are you wearing Katie’s top, Jessie?” she points at the animal print shirt Jessica’s wearing. “Because it looks good on you.” She purses her lips and raises her eyebrows.
Jessica hesitantly confirms she is in fact wearing Katie’s top. “Umm … Yeah … thank you?”
Renata reiterates the passive aggressive compliment. “Yeah ... it looks good.”
Everyone’s already feeling uncomfortable, and then Kruges picks up her wooden spoon to give the pot one final stir.
“Do you think Katie has gotten in Jess’s ear and somehow convinced her to nominate you?” she pokes an already-agitated Renata.
“Yeah, influenced, absolutely,” Renata snips, which then makes Katie lash out. “I know exactly what you’re doing, Katie — it’s so visible.”
Now, after successfully turning most of the contestants against each other, Kruges tries to escape the awkwardness by just pretending her Zoom connection has frozen.
Seconds later, Renata is kicked out in a landslide eviction.
“Good luck with these idiots,” she whispers to Dan before snubbing everyone else and storming out in a frosty exit.
Then, in a classic reality TV move, she serves us a bitter back seat eviction monologue as she’s driven away.
“Daniel and Nicholas, I want them to win. The rest are sheeps, they don’t deserve it. If one of those sheeps wins, I will move countries. That’s a promise,” she spits.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go watch a TikTok beauty video while sticking needles in my face.
