Hiya! Congrats on winning JOTW! Nice place you've got here, love the layout!
Hope you have a great week!

Hmmm…..i have to say, horsing around was the most fun I ever had on a blog. It was the funniest thing I ever wrote, I just enjoyed writing it, giggling like a little school girl every time someone got injured or died…..I’m sick….
It was very different from Uz Idol, as my brother Matt had written most of that, and I felt I needed to do something on my own….
Johyni was, by far the most fun to write for, cause he is just so unlucky. Infact he’s probably related to Mikael Spalko from
This was hard. Finding good characters always is. I had more of a hard time writing for the Females than I did for the males. I mean with males, you’ve got a psycho,a terrorist and a retarded Asian magician....easy...
With the females on the other hand, one is a failed comedian who is also a mother, and one is, tragically comatosed for life…
I did think it was integral, to have all the characters as ......well failures in a way. You’ve got a failed magician,terrorist,musician,comedian and one that failed to make the right choices in life….
Looking back now, it was a mistake to have
Now, at his time, I was still very much working from my original brief, and the whole “ass flaming” incident was the main reason why I did H.A.T.H. Week 1 was purely so I could write that and hopefully get more people to stay for the rest of it. Give the best material first, you might say…

Also it was an ideal way to set-up the character of Stinky and his alcoholism. Something that died down as the weeks progressed…
The main reason I evicted Ikmael first was simple because I didn’t think I could do much more with him. And the fact that he has to be taken out by S.W.A.T was another part of the “best material” plan…
This was based around the “classic displacement tendencies” line. That was the sole plot for that week. Also so I could develop
Johyni’s rearrival was always planned, although I had hoped that it would have been later…
This was Gari’s turn at character development. The Popovitch family are real, and I really wanted to use them, unfortunately it wasn’t written very well, and should have been thought through more…
It wouldn’t be H.A.T.H without some sort of injury, and it was
This was to have come right at the end, as I had originally planned that it would be Gari and Elizabeth who would be the last ones there, but I had grown attached to that walking disaster known as Johyni.
Plus she was already paralyzed, what would a few broken limbs do to her??
This was where character development went out the window, and mindless acts of stupidity took its place. I had already written the fork idea a long time ago, and this was just an excuse to get it in somehow.
Johyni, however now suffers from severe claustrophobia. The things I put him through..

Forget H.A.T.H , now it was “The Johyni Show”. I love the fact that instead of just trying to get himself evicted, he tries to escape, cocks it up and gets beaten up…
Everything he touches, as my dad would say, “is a fuck up…”
I thought that we hadn’t heard much from stinky (not surprising as he was a horse), but seeing as the whole premise revolves around him, it was high time we paid him a visit. I always knew, right from the start, that he would be slowly dying from liver failure, and I wanted to keep giving hints away…
Also, Ikmael makes a reappearance, basically because things were left very open-ended…
Well, by this time, I knew Johyni was going to win, and so had to find a way to kill gari. But with all the psychopaths in the house gone, I knew it had to be up to Johyni. (Also if you notice, she miraculously gets her eye back, and suddenly recovers from depression…)
How to kill her? Through a magic trick of course. Its not his fault, but I love how he panicks and instead of staying there (and probably be let off, and gaining the 2 mill in prize money), he goes on the run…
It then ended on a sad note with the death of stinky.. Funny how everyone Elizabeth got one sentence, yet the violent horse got a paragraph….and a photo…
Bear in there? Yep, I loved that, and the fact that a horse would be much more safer than a bloody bear…It would eat you…....that old tale "bears eat people.."..how true
What happened Next?
Basically an epilogue, it ties up all the lose ends. Provides closure for the family of
Oh and poor old Johyni is still on the run…actually, I wrote a script for a short “mockumentary” about Johyni, who is now a professional magician in
The End…
