Contestants Sneak Peek! (ft. Alex De Carla)

Tiger: Hey there! Today, I'm just gonna throw a quick sneak peek at you and see how things go. Well, today, although not all of our contestants are currently trapped on the island, I mean haven't arrived yet. So, I shall pass you all over to the lovely Alex De Carla!

Alex: Thanks Tiger, and welcome to the Contestants Lock-Down Hub! Inside these doors, there are 10 small 5x3 rooms, each will hold one contestant. While we wait on three of them, Tiger over there asked me to show you, the audience, what they have to live inside until day 1. 

Alex: Stepping inside, there are two sides of 5 doors. Naturally, they chose me for this tour. since my profession requires me to be strict and tough. Obviously they didn't want a crazy fan girl who'd break down the doors and become a psycho murder stealing their faces. Oh whoops, sometimes I get into police mode off duty. Continuing on!

Alex: Behind this door, there's probably a contestant eager to escape, I mean break free, I mean what? Anyway...

 Alex: Let's go inside one of the empty ones and have a look. This is pretty cool, hey?

Alex: Tiger, do you want to know my first impressions? 
Tiger: I would, that's why I asked you here. You know how to deal with tight situations. 

Alex: Well, there's a nice couch, a good place for a nap. 

Alex: There's a fridge for food and a very unique art design on the wall. 

Alex: There's the ever important bathroom...

Alex: And for some reason an over the top lamp and dresser. Why the hell did you waste so much money? 
Tiger: Calm down. There's always motherlode when I need it. And that dresser was less expensive than the porta potty, so shush. 

Alex: Well, in all honesty it's pretty boring and plain, but that's what it had to be, so okay. But the main house is definitely a step up, so I'm not complaining. However, I'm gonna show some quick footage we snapped of the contestants so far. 

Alex: A broken heart seeking another? 

Alex: A mistaken vampire without the love of her father? 

 Alex: A diva with the biggest secret?

Alex: An all rounder with a confused 'hero/villain' mindset? 

Alex: An irresistible rich lover boy with an attitude like the devil?

Alex: A stunt man with his eyes on the big money or the fame?

Alex: A girl with a flaming love for the rabbit hole?

Alex: A man who's life is ageing into distance?

Alex: And a girl in love with one city more crowded than Australia itself? 

Tiger: Who do you think has the potential to take home the bacon, and who do you think will glide through each and every tribal council with only scrapes and bruises? Who do you think will be pushed too far over the edge and will there be a bad romance that leaves someone in the dust? Will anyone get along, or will each and every tribal council be every man for himself. Find out soon, when we return on High Hopes, the number one BB Survivor mix breed! 

Tiger: Bye and have a good night. #SelfieWithSandManHimself

House Tour! Paradise Hut is Here!

Tiger: Hello! Welcome to the first ever (!) house tour for High Hopes, a Big Brother-Survivor hybrid! Today, you will see this lovely house (Isn't it cute?) and meet your host, ME! But for now, I'll let two of the adorablest (not a word) people in the world take you into....Paradise Hut!

Dia: Thanks! Well, Ash, let's show them this house. Just to mention, neither of us have seen it yet, so I'm excited!
Asho: Hell yes! Paradise Hut sounds exotic. 

Dia: I want the main house! Please!
Asho: Fine, baby. I'll take this smaller less exciting room. 

Asho: Here beside it we have a cute area to sit in the baking sun and soak up cancer.
Dia: Hey!
Asho: Sorry, I meant soak up some tan!

Dia: I hope this house is amazing! I hear there's a cookies somewhere in the pantry!

Dia: Here we go guys and girls, first reveal!

Dia: Ooh, a dining room. Very dark tones here, an old wheel hanging on the wall. Very old fashioned.
Tiger: That's what it was meant to be! If you look at the kitchen, it's meant to reflect the bottom of the sea. With the kitchen being the heart of a home, so is much to the bottom of the sea.

Dia: I see, the kitchen is very dark. I like what you're doing here, Tiger. Moving on!

Dia: Nice pot plant, some cute seating, and I see some fancy hanging lanterns. So much beach I might just faint. 

Dia: Beautiful as always. Hold on, I missed something.

Dia: Is that a Maws poster? The naughty shark you. I really loved that movie, more than my boyfriend. Great acting on her behalf.
Tiger: Dia?
Dia: Moving on!

Dia: Here we have the bathroom. Porta potties for days. Nice colour scheme here, definitely beach themed. Any inspiration for this, Tiger?
Tiger: Nope, bathrooms aren't fun. Just liked the look of the bright porta potty.

Dia: Dat snowman though! I mean sandman. Even his little mustache is golden. I mustache you a question later Tiger. 
Tiger: Oh god.

Dia: Anyway, over here we have two sleeping bags. That's it, really? I feel so sorry for the contestants.
Tiger: There's a bedroom somewhere, that's for the Have-Nots. 

Dia: Oh, my bad. Continuing on, we have a quite bright room.

Dia: Cute fountain. Also, this room simply loves Lava-Lamps! Tiger?
Tiger: It looks underwatery.

Dia: Well, this room certainly is under the sea. All we need is a mermaid. Oh, there is one? Found it. You guys can't see it, the camera wouldn't reach that far down.

Dia: Let me just sit here all day. I can already smell the sea salt. 

Dia: Nice little pond area. What's the deal with this room?
Tiger: The living room is as it sounds: a living space. And where's the most living of the sea? The middle. Plus, living rooms are for everyone, and so are the middles of the ocean. 
Dia: Don't I know it.

Dia: Plus there's this guy. He's fantastic, any names?
Tiger: Oof. Long story. 

Dia: Moving along, we see this room. It's got its own skylight for god's sake! It's almost like my own private beach. Can I borrow this tonight Tiger?
Tiger: As long as you don't mess up the sand. We have contestants arriving one day soon. 

 Dia: I love it! Two cute loungers and a mini ocean. Okay, so now I have to walk back towards the front door apparently.

Dia: There's a door behind the dining room. The bedrooms?

Dia: On three: One, two...

Dia: Screw it, I'm in! Wow, nice tapestry. But no bedrooms. 

Dia: Those planks of wood really tie the whole seat together. See what I did there?
Tiger: I worry sometimes.

Dia: Another door! This room looks so unexpected I think I could cry. That paint on the rug looks so real.
Tiger: Trust me, it is. I slaved over throwing paint at that. 
Dia: I'm proud.

Dia: Anyway, this here is the Diary Room! In here, I can rant about how ugly Corrine's shoes are or how horrible Brett can be on weekends. They'll never know. Only if they watch this exact video after their eviction. I promise Helen doesn't fart in her sleep. But Ian does. And snores too. 

Dia: Anyway, some nice art deco in this room and I'm totally digging the wallpaper and the paint rug. I would live in here if I could. 
Tiger: Well, two things: it's basically modeled off a home space, unlike how most rooms are at the beach or the ocean. Also, we had two Bretts call in and four Ians. Also, one Helen called in just to confirm her partner Ian does in fact snore.
Dia: I literally made that up on the spot. Calm down, Australia!

Dia: Sadly, that's the end of my part of the tour. I'll throw you over to Ash with the box room. See ya!

Asho: Thanks, Dia. Anyway, let's go inside. I'm guessing this is the bedroom.
Dia: I knew there was a bedroom!

Asho: I was right. As you can see, there are eight beds in here, and apparently two sleeping bags in the main house. I'm guessing since this is unattached to the main house, it's meant to signify a stranded island.
Tiger: Spot on.

Asho: Let's head back outside to see what Dia's up to. 

Asho: Hey, what's wrong? You look really pissed off. Was it that bad?
Dia: No, the house was beautiful. That's the point. I want to live here. 
Asho: I know, it's so pretty seeing the mountains and the waterfalls, but we're not contestants. Remember, Tiger is hosting. 
Tiger: Just be happy I didn't send either of you to Pennbrook Estate. Hey, throw it over.

Asho: Okay, over to you Tiger. See you guys some other time. Maybe co-hosting?

Tiger: Keep praying, Asho. Anyway, here I am! Yes, I dyed my hair blue. It matches, right? Anyway, I'm not here to talk about hair, I'm here for the Tribal council tour!

Tiger: Here our contestants will vote. 

Tiger: Whether it's someone they hate, someone they tolerate or someone they love, the contestants will face the tribal council at least once. And at tribal, the only one safe is me. 

Tiger: Let's go see the main ceremony area!

Tiger: Here we have it. Mixing together a splash of Big Brother with the classic Survivor zone, this tribal council will be sure to entertain. 

Tiger: Each week, I'll grill each contestant with one question. Whether it be strategic, social or even plain silly, each contestant will face my tough critique and sarcasm. And trust me, if I want to get angry, I'll get hell angry. 

Tiger: Behind these chairs, we have the diving board of death. Each voted off contestant will have to take a leap of faith into the waters, but since I don't have insurance over their deaths, we just have to let them walk down to the beach. 

Tiger: Along with the house and the tribal council, there are a couple more areas that might catch your fancy. Like the HoH room.

Tiger: The secret Pier...

Tiger: And the Hunahpu waterfalls! 

Tiger: Thanks for tagging along for this amazing house and island tour! I hope to see you on Day 1, and I hope you enjoy High Hopes. It's been a pleasure already and I just really hope this show gets the hype it deserves. Thanks Dia Grey and Asho Theed for touring the house for me, and I'll see you all later. This is Tiger Blu, goodbye.
