Sandra Sully's hair explodes with more body than ever before. Bouffant in style and showing signs of work. More so than on the continuing need to dub over questions in post production or the occasional stall during taping. Housemates from the 2006 series of Big Brother are up and run about the stage creating a sense of mayhem and looseness.
Out from the first, tad shy of total darkness, Camilla Severi, Anna Lind-Hansen and Michael McCoy. Fighting it out for the final spot into the second round sees McCoy trumpet off on the Matching Pairs tie-breaker against Claire Madden. A few seconds too late to do anything, even with a few of the other housemates trying to answer from and for his console.
Jamie Brooksby picks off Sport and TV with a strong 8 and clumsy 4. Madden averages out her shot with Natural World and Food & Drink to pocket 10. One shy of the mark to challenge a spot into the third round. Katie Hastings exasperates at the mere task of trying to answer the questions and notches 2 and 6 with Film and Australiana.
As open with his tactics as he is now with his homosexuality from the show's experience, David Graham snipes 11 off Geography and 8 from Pot Luck. Geography being the pet shot for Dino Delic. Delic at first falters on 5 from History only to pick up a major 6 from Science. Gaelan Walker is no threat at all with 2 and 3 from Music and Literature respectively.
Graham saddles up with Sheep and Cattle Farming as his topic of speciality with Delic on The Balkans and International Rugby Union for Brooksby.
Knowing how to play the game, and with the advantage of choosing first, Graham flips out tiles from The Balkans, irking Delic to no end. As such, and with the other two playing it safe, Graham holds on early and long with a lead.
Looking to fight back, Delic aims for a moo cow only needing to actually hit a Friesian. Amazingly, Graham forgets the number of sheep shorn by gun shearers to be 200.
No matter though. With such a lead one wrong answer isn't enough to topple him from the heap. Winner this time of the game, Graham directs his charity winnings toward PFLAG.
