Best Quote: “Barbie girls are not approachable. I wouldn’t hang out with one of them deliberately.”
Big Brother describes local girl Renee as “not your stereotypical girly girl” who loves her job as a deboner at the Dubbo abattoir. “A rugby playing tomboy, Renee is animated and in your face,” Big Brother said, but her sister Samantha said Renee is not “that much of a tomboy” but is very sporty.
Renee promised to be herself and “not fake like most people”. “Renee is a fair dinkum country girl who says dishonesty is her most despised personality trait in other people,” according to Big Brother. She described herself as funny, a good listener if she’s not talking first, annoying and jealous. Renee said she would be likely to “be loud” to get her point across but would stand up for both sides if it wasn’t her problem.
Renee from BB08 says:
"Congrats to Nae & the Rhino girls on another premiership! " (4 weeks ago) me too!
How does it feel being out of the house?
Awesome. I reckon I left at a peak time if anything. I had me six weeks and I had a good run. Like with my NYC, winning me Friday Night Games, going to the fake Bali – even though we thought it was real. Yeah but I had a good run. I couldn’t complain. The only thing I wish I’d conquered was me Birthday. Birthdays in there were just great and to say that you had your 23rd Birthday in there would’ve been unreal. I couldn’t have done six more weeks, it would’ve done my head in, it was starting to do my head in so I left at prime time!
Have you fielded many questions about Nathan?
Honestly I haven’t been asked about a lot about Nathan. Only one person has so far. But I’ve already spoken to him and he goes ‘Oh Renee, you’re gonna get laced, they drilled me big time.’ I think that the argument with Bianca was bigger than Nate. Nate’s two weeks ago. I guess he’s old news.
Has Big Brother changed your life?
Definitely! Down to the whole taking my Mum for granted. I didn’t realise that I was a leach off my Mum. My Mum’s awesome and I don’t ever give her credit. I was happy doing my Abs and playing so much sport, I didn’t realise how much of a bubble I lived in until I spoke to people that have travelled and they’re like, ‘Renee! What do you mean you don’t know where New York is? What do you mean you don’t know this? What are you doing with you life?’ And I’m like I don’t have time to do this back home, I don’t have time to be stopping and listening to the news and watching tele. I just don’t do it. It’s just weird.
Favourite moment in the BB House?
Probably winning FNG because that’s one thing I wanted. The Carson thing was cool but I though that the twist would be that New York City was over the fence, like Bali. Like I didn’t think it was real. And of course we weren’t allowed to talk about it in the House. Now that I’m out if I look it up on the Internet it’ll probably pump me up. But I don’t know anything about New York! At all! I never thought I’d go there!
Most challenging BB moment?
Probably the disagreement with Bianca. Only purely because it was hard on me as it was for her. We were good mates so it was just a few words that went wrong and just blew up because we’re both hot-heads. It happened at a really bad time – I lost Dixie, I had three Intruders whammed in – it was just a bad night. I think I got two strikes in 24 hours, it was just heated.
Who do you think will win?
I’ll say Rhianna. I dunno, she just seems like a top chick. She sorta has got my personality. If people were tipping with me, she’d be next similar to me. I’d rather Al to win but I just seen Rhianna getting points. So I got no idea! It’s anyone’s game now! I thought Nobbi would but since I been out like I don’t think he’s in favour. I thought the Kombi was doing him all sorts of favours but now everyone’s making him look mean.
What’s next for Renee?
I don’t know. I didn’t think that people would recognize me, I know that sounds so naïve, but I was just going to go back to the Abs next week and start making money again and everyone’s like ‘Dude, milk it! Stay on the Goldie and do your interviews and appearances and stuff.’ I got asked about ZOO, and I was like it goes against what I am. And apparently I’m already in it. I don’t know! Apparently there’s a swimsuit thing! I’ve spoken to Nate and Dixie and they’re lovin’ it, they’re fully running with it! They sorta said it doesn’t last forever so enjoy it while you got it! I don’t know if I have the attitude to go straight back to the Abs. I haven’t been in public yet, if I get like mobbed that might offput me and I’ll just wanna go home.
Who was your favourite HM?
Nathan. For sure. He’s probably the most likely guy I’d run into in the real world. A lo
The pint-sized, rugby league loving blonde rolled into the House and survived the Sunrise Eviction by winning over the Housemates with her rough-n-tumble yet genuine personality.
Within days Renee had found her feet in the BB House, bonding with the BB boys, catching up with fellow Dubbo lass Dixie and embracing her girlie side with Bianca, Alice and Rima. Open to romance in the House, Renee found a snuggle buddy in Rory – but their friendship was purely platonic.
Surprised to see Dubbo acquaintance Dixie in the BB House, both girls agreed they were not stoked to see the other – but agreed they’d use the time to become closer friends and before long were reminiscing about their hometown.
Blowing away the Housemates with the revelation she was bi-sexual, Renee made no bones about the fact she wanted to change her life – and spending time in the BB House was the perfect way to do it. A makeover (courtesy of style king Carson Kressley) definitely pointed this 22 year old in the right direction – with a trip to New York City!
Renee spent her days in the House forming close friendships with David and Travis in particular – with Trav taking an extra special liking to the abattoir worker. When Webmate Nate gatecrashed the House with Corey, Renee’s BB world became a lot more intriguing. Instantly taking a shine to the physiotherapist, Renee and Nate passed the hours flirting and forming a fledging relationship.
After Nate picked up on Renee’s romantic feelings, he let her down gently but the close bonds had already been formed, and Renee shed many a tear when Nate and Dave were Evicted from the House.
A House favourite from the word go, self-deprecating Renee could never understand why the HMs picked her as a winner. Citing her down-to-earth and friendly personality, the Housemates believed Renee would be the one to take the cake.
Renee may have had many fans inside the BB House, but she didn’t hold back when taken to task. Butting heads with Bianca over her “paranoid” attitude, Renee didn’t waste a moment announcing her opinion to the House.
Topping off her BB experience with an FNL win, Renee laid down her alliance with Dixie in the Strategy Room. “I would never dog you,” Renee confirmed. Contemplating a more tactical approach to her BB game, Renee said that she could never Evict Dix but ended up letting her mate go when she realised that the Dixie Chick wanted out of the BB band.
It was a struggle to survive without Dixie. Renee was drawn into a heated bust-up with Bianca over the size of the Italian Princess’ breasts. This seemed to put her in a bad mood all week – Renee feeling grumpy and frustrated for most of her last seven days.
Due to the Eviction twist, Renee had no idea that she was nominated this week! Instead of seizing her BB experience with both hands, she continued to be downbeat and spent most of her time comforting Alice, the pair not realising that their positions would be swapped come Eviction Night!
“I love footy,” Renee admitted on several occasions “As soon as I go out I will definitely be going back to the field.” She missed rugby even more so than her family. But someone else she has missed is Nathan. Gone for 2 weeks but definitely not forgotten Nathan stole her heart.
But on day 42, the public votes were counted and hit this footy fan with a game ending tackle – this Dubbo darling dropped from the BB House. Red-carded and rejected, Renee has left the House forever!
Catching Renee hiding quietly in the Bedroom, Rory approached her to see if she was OK. Long story short, she wasn’t.
“I feel crappy and I can’t tell you why. It’s not that I can’t tell you - I don’t know why,” Renee told Rory. “Just heaps of little shit,” she muttered, reluctant to pour her feelings out because she said she didn’t want to whinge.
Lying on the bed and trying unsuccessfully to sleep, Renee finally opened up to Rory about what was on her mind. She hated being head of House, she was annoyed at him for his skirt chasing (aka flirting with Rhianna), she missed footy and the fight with Bianca was weighing heavily on her shoulders. She said she just wanted a friend, someone to ease her pain. She missed Nate and wasn’t getting cuddles from Rory - life in the BB House was tough.
The Armband
Renee wasn’t happy with her status as Head of House, she didn’t feel like her win in FNL had helped her in the slightest and hated her new role.
“I didn’t expect to be put on a pedestal because I was wearing an arm band. I just thought it would have been fun that I won it, not s***,” Renee muttered. She explained that she was trying to be relaxed about it and not boss everyone around, but no one was listening to her.
“Youse gave Al all the respect you could and then didn’t say anything to me,” Renee explained, referring to Alice’s position as Head of House last week. Rory was surprised. Renee continued to explain that with Alice as Head of House, things were so much more organised and the boys fell into line, but this week she has found them taking over, not asking her about food rationing or any chores. “We won’t have enough food for the week and that’s going to be my fault,” Renee worried. Rory argued that things would be fine but Renee said she resented the responsibility of HOH.
The Choice
As Head of House, Renee had the final decision on what to get from the vending machine. Some HMs wanted a hair straightener, she wanted her football results… but she decided to go with what was best for the group and chose Nobbi to be able to come inside for the night and attend Family Dinner.
Renee was annoyed at the decision making process and people wanting to do their hair over inviting Nobbi into the House. Mainly she was hurting because her precious Rhino footy results were so close, yet so far away. “Man, I’m missing footy so much more than I thought I would,” Renee told Rory.
The Blow Up
Renee explained to Rory that that she had really liked Bianca and stuck up for her when no one else would, which is why their argument annoyed her so much. Earlier in the week, the two had a screaming match which stemmed from Bianca’s constant complaining about her ample assets. Renee stood by her guns, believing that she did nothing wrong and therefore should not be the one to say sorry.
The disagreement was tearing Renee up. “B doing the silent treatment is driving me insane, I hate when people do it…” Renee confided in Rory. She was sick of Bianca’s tantrums and bad attitude and as she was explaining this to Rory, who should enter but the Italian Princess herself, Bianca.
“I’m friends with both of youse so I’m not going to say anything about it,” Rory told her, trying to back away from the awkward situation. Renee wasn’t worried and even raised her voice somewhat. She voiced the fact that it was just a misunderstanding and everyone was confused as to why Bianca over-reacted and became so upset.
“I’m not saying sorry, I wasn’t in the wrong,” declared Renee. “If you want this to be over, just go up and talk to her,” he urged.
“I rated her in here. Other people were bitching about her and I had time for her. And she did the dirty on me, so whatever,” sighed Renee. Despite this, she tried gingerly to talk to Bianca today – but was met with little respo
