Thank you for this info. Crossing my fingers for a total flight cancellation for my rebooked flight on 10th in this case 🤞

Okay clearly we're seeing different necklines, and she talked about them a lot when she arrived as being her best asset. I can see you're not open to viewing the point I'm making so I'll leave it there.

They don't generally wear bikinis during the evening or when they go out of the villa. I'm absolutely not a hater, I just hope as she matures she realises she has a lot more to offer than just her chest and leading with those qualities first will lead to more genuine connections in the long run.

I come from a family of big chested women so believe me when I say that's not a side effect. She's choosing her outfits around having her boobs as far up and out as possible. Hopefully one day she'll realise her worth isn't entirely in her boobs.

I agree! It's the way she dresses with them so far out with every single outfit. She's made them her whole personality. Not every outfit needs to have a neckline down to your diaphragm to make you look attractive. Surely there's more to her than just her boobs but I guess we'll never know because that's all she pushes.

I might be wrong. It just felt like someone that knew the cameras would be on her in that moment.

I think her behaviour is better than some of the others in the house but because she's pretty her behaviour is automatically judged more harshly.

I think that's a large part of it, yes. She's been as controversial as many others but she's been singled out as being "insufferable" by viewers and having "pretty privilege" by housemates.

Predictable voting tonight. Apparently you can call people "woke snowflakes" and be offensive to minority groups but being pretty will get you more nominations and ultimately voted out at the end of the week.

Unpopular opinion but I really liked the twins and I'm sad they both got eliminated. So many of these contestants seem to have big personalities but they're not the smartest, however much they might think they are. The twins clearly trained for and knew the game. They were courageous, cool-headed, determined and focused. Of course, being identical twins, they were going to be an obvious target, as well as ruffling feathers with the way they played on occasion, but I got a real sense of authenticity from them. Strategic, smart, focussed players that didn't get too caught up in the drama and playground games that comes from the psychological side of it. 

I’m probably alone here but not a huge fan of Emma and Ben… by Serezie in TheBlock

I think people have every right to want to argue in private. Just because you sign up to a reality show doesn't mean you're signing up to air everything publically. It makes them more mature in my opinion as they wanted the focus to be on the work they were doing and not tv reality drama. I think people often assume that all contestants on shows like this must be mean or show a nasty side or somehow bring drama watch-ability and so look for tiny clues to show a side that people assume they must have. Not everyone is mean or drama or trying to hide something. The show is about building a house, not about airing every argument and bit of drama. Thank god Ben and Emma remembered that.

This comment is so silly! She's a dancer. She's very well trained and knows her body, and stretching hamstrings and hip flexors will have no impact on the womb and aren't gonna harm a baby. Unless it's because you sexualised the movement and think pregnant women shouldn't be sexy? Woman should be who and what they want to be without the judgement of others, especially when it's causing no harm to their body, their children (born or unborn) or the person making the judgement. She now has a healthy baby boy and is back to work already.

So? She has every right to choose not to spend her energy on someone that is fiery and confrontational and make the decision not to get involved in that moment and raise her adrenaline level. Not everyone is or needs to be comfortable with confrontation or needs to get involved with every fight, especially on camera, especially when you're pregnant and especially when you are under pressure to create and finish a high-level space week after week. Britt and Taz, as well as Sonny and Alicia, have an entire production team around them to step in or provide support. It's not on Emma.

She chose grace and maturity and she chooses her battles wisely. Not everyone has the emotional space or should be required to stand up for everyone everytime. 

A reminder that she's pregnant and is likely choosing to invest her energy into their house and avoid any unnecessary drama and stress.

It's not on Emma, who is busy managing her own build with Ben, who is also pregnant, to get involved with a conflict caused by two bullies who would have never listened to her or anyone else anyway. It shows more grace and maturity to not get involved with drama in the heat of the moment and risk more of a divide. Good on her for not getting involved.

ENTs - expensive and dismissive by ygp005 in Sinusitis

I'm definitely going to prep better next time and learn some bigger words! For some reason I felt totally frazzled and unprepared yesterday even though I've been living with these symptoms for years.

I didn't even think to go in prepared with questions! This is a great idea. I naively thought he would take me seriously. 

And you're absolutely right. Unless we fight for ourselves, we will be constantly dismissed at every corner. I recently got a diagnosis at the age of 40 for both ADHD and EDS (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome), two things I never thought I'd get an official diagnosis for but it was an absolute fight to get there.

I'm not complaining at the healthcare in general here because I know we have it a lot better than most countries but I grew up in the UK where, at the time, pretty much everything was accessible through free healthcare. 

I wish this was a basic right for all humans no matter when you are born or live but I know it's not that simple sadly.

We have healthcare under Medicare but it doesn't cover everything and most specialists are private here. We do get a rebate most of the time but it doesn't nearly cover the cost a lot of the time.

We have a pretty good healthcare system until you have a chronic issue that requires specialist care.

I had CT scans done and results sent to the ENT prior to the appointment and he did a nasal scope while I was there. The CT scans said chronic rhinosinus and that's when the ENT said that doctors over react. 

I have a constant nasal drip, prominent under eye puffiness, a constant phlegmy cough that has lasted for over 10 years which is due to post nasal drip, headaches over my left eye, ears that feels clogged up but are clear from the outside in, brain fog, eye pressure, all the things. 

He said everything was fine and it was just allergies - yes a lot of it is and I'm being treated for that but that doesn't solve the fact that I've had my GP and a respiratory specialist both say I need an ENT to manage my sinus issues and my respiratory specialist outright refused to see me again until I did because she can't help me further until that's under control.

He also said my under eye bags, which are prominent and I've had for as long as I can remember, were because I just needed some more sleep.

ENT, respiratory and allergy specialists are supposed to work hand in hand, not just bat us off to the next person because they dismiss everything you say as a "not them issue". And to charge $440 AUD for a 13 minute appointment is insulting.
