NEW STORY: My @sbnation.bsky.social debut!

When Mitch Johnson was introduced as the head coach of the Spurs back in May, he said, “I will attempt to do it my way.”

From Pop’s voice to Johnson’s vision, the Spurs are finding their rhythm again.

If I had to guess from this lineup, Mia will go. I can’t see people picking up the phone to save her. #BBAU
Holly decided NOT to use her power! So it's Jane, Mia and Allana facing this week's eviction! The Head Housemate chose to let the nominations stand. #BBAU #BigBrotherAU

Remember in the BB house, everything moves at x50 speed. I do question Holly sometimes, especially when she clocked the camera pointing at her and immediately pulled Colin in for a hug. She knows exactly what she's doing! #BBAU #BigBrotherAU
November 17, 2025 at 8:54 AM
And Michael is 100% spot on. Colin deep down knows it. #BBAU
Michael is back in the house to drop some home truths! And he actually woke up right after he left, what perfect timing! 😂 #BBAU #BigBrotherAU

NEW: Michael may have been evicted from the #BBAU house but his impact will be felt when a new twist is unleashed on the house. My latest for @fwrdaxis.com has the deets ⬇
