What a disappointing outcome!

Totally gutted at the outcome myself, this is the second time this year that a ‘southern belle’ has won on personality even though they really had no game (Jordan BB USA) – Natalie’s only move was convincing the girls to take out Erik, but ONE good move doesn’t make someone worthy in my eyes Under the radar is a valid strategy and probably the one I’d employ if I went on the show but as a viewer for obvious reasons it’s a crap strategy and I never find myself rooting for those that play that way. Either way Natalie didn’t win because of her under the radar skills – she won cos she’s nice. Big fat hairy YAWN!

One of the reasons I love these kinds of shows is because it’s not a personality contest so this new trend is really worrying and depressing to me.

Even at the start of this episode I was amazed at how well Russell played it, he told all three of his Foa Foa team mates lies but none of them questioned it even for a second and all three were willing and able to go along with whatever he said – his name was never even considered. And although I see people saying he didn’t play a good social game I really think he did – he had most of them eating out of his hands at one point or another, all trusted him, all went to him to ask where the vote was going and even though he masterminded getting rid of almost all of them there seemed to be very little actual bitterness from the jury!

 

I’ve been Bidazzled!

Don’t you just love the reverse auction sites that seem to have started popping up all over the Internet in the last year?

I remember when I first started using regular auction sites and it was all exciting, after many years of using them they lose the buzz so having something a little new and different is always welcomed :)

The most recent one I came across was Bidazzled – it’s a US based auction site that launched just last month but is growing fast. I saw someone posting about them on a coupon code site I post on because at the moment there are loads of codes you can use when you register in order to get free bids – if you use code BBP1202A before January 15th you’ll get 15 free bids worth $15.

All you have to do then is place your bids on the item(s) you want and sit back and hope no one else bids before the timer runs out – a few seconds are added each time someone bids. Most of the items end up selling for over 80% off retail price. There’s also an affiliate program for those that are into marketing where you can earn extra bids for each person who signs up under you and then even ones that sign up under them!
