Big Brother puts TV presenter in house but tells viewers Timmy Dormer is a student
Nine’s reality contest Big Brother has turned to the presenter of Southern Cross Broadcasting’s now defunct television chart show Hit List TV as one of its contestants.
However, Big Brother has presented Timmy Dormer, who has also worked for radio network Nova, to viewers as “environmental studies student Tim”.
Nine’s second season of the show got under way tonight.
Dormer briefly generated headlines late last year after streaking during a Rihanna press junket. He previously presented the Hit List TV show for Southern Cross Broadcasting until it was axed two years ago after the network merged with Austereo.
Also, Tim Dormer who used to host the national/regional show the Hit List. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49FOfLBkWTI
OMG is she going to tweet in there? If she can’t she will have the BIGGEST WITHDRAWALS AND IT WILL BE A MAJOR TALKING POINT PLUS SHE IS OBVIOUSLY HOT. Taking notes kennel 10?
Unsubscribe – lame wannabe celebrities with no value to add to the world
I think the bio on ‘Property Manager’ Xavier Holland neglects to mention his hosting experience on Channel 31, Post Grad cert in Comms & Masters in Film Studies.
One way to make this show more interesting would be to leave all this human refuse inside and very slowly start filling the house with water. Maybe 2 ft per week. At the beginning drop in a single life jacket, and every now and then a weapon of some sort. Now that would be quality viewing!
It’s hard to know whether you watch this show like you’d watch the slo-mo of a horrendous train crash, or whether to feel pity as you watch people including presenters, humiliate themselves to the point of career self-immolation.
And yet….pity evaporates when you consider the ugly narcissism and greed that brought everyone in front of the cameras.
The inevitable black-hole of embarrassment is probably well deserved.
Australia’s collective IQ just dropped another notch.
Surely having all these media people is a conflict of interest. Is Big Brother just Ch Nine’s audition room for potential future presenters now?
Tahan was overseas enjoying the high life with friends,2010, on returning to Australia was a presenter on NITV program In the Black.
Oh shit, and here I was thinking the show was natural, unrehearsed, not set up, just pure reality TV for people who could spell their own name, walk upright and didn’t work in advertising.
Sorry guys but these BB contestants are all acting. They all have a role to play, their all performing. The show is made for TV its all put on.
Have to agree Linda.
Wait!.. back up there!, this is REALITY TV.
Seriously
So pleased to note some of the comments here have nailed it! I’m constantly saddened by the fact that these shows continue to propagate due to the stymied intellect of those saddened individuals whose vacuous lives need garbage like this for stimulation. People please. There’s paint drying somewhere that needs watching and is more entertaining!!!
Also Tahan is a TV presenter? Is that the twist? Are they all TV presenters? http://www.ntnews.com.au/artic.....nment.html
Tully is great – she worked for me at Hungry Jack’s while completing her term at Clemenger BBDO. Good luck and have fun!
Well if they’re not already commercial radio presenters, there’s a good chance they will be in 2014.
I think the reasoning behind not mentioning Tim as a TV and Radio host was because a) His radio show turned defunct after the Hot30 took over, which is related to the prank call scandal (Channel 9 wouldnt want any relationships to that) and b) The TV show was on a different network than WIN or Nine. I think Xavier and Tahan are in the same boat, both with some history in TV with other stations, no mention of it with Nine.
It’s actually quite amazing as to how ‘cool’ most of you think it is to hate Big Brother. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it and shut up about it and leave those of us who do enjoy it alone.
I am a huge fan of BBAU. I also auditioned this year and have to say I loved every minute of it. I made it through to the final round of the day, however did not receive a follow up email to attend another day of auditions. Like I said I love it but unfortunately, they are looking for a particular type and you must fit a certain mould. I was asked if I am the nice one, the funny one or the shy one or the bitchy one and when I said I can be all of those things, the producer was stumped as to where to slot me in. The show itself is great though. No regrets but unfortunately like any television show there is casting for a purpose and to increase ratings they have to have certain people in there, people who can at least appeal to Australia, relate to Australia and hold interesting and exciting conversation. It’s a Channel 9 television show after all 🙂
Linda – Can’t speak for all of them but I’m friends with Tim and he’s not acting at all. He’s identical to how he is on the outside.
Dale – Tim’s show being cancelled had nothing to do with prank call scandal. He left Southern Cross at least a year earlier.
Love, Love Love Tim. He is awesome.
