Day 6 of 18 - Massive argument, and Bridgette to leave?
Posted by Simon at January 11, 2005 04:31 AM
A massive row has broken out overnight in the Big Brother house, which saw a number of the housemates still awake in the sofa area at 4am whilst Bridgette was in the Diary Room speaking with Big Brother wanting to leave.
On her exiting of the Diary Room she told Lisa, Caprice, Kenzie and Bez that she was "leaving", before going on to say that Big Brother said he didn't want her to leave and to think it over. However Bridgette says that she wants to pack her bags first thing in the morning and both Kenize and Caprice said they'd help her pack... not at all trying to prevent her from leaving.
It'd appear that things came to a head around 2:20am when several of the housemates finally snapped, and it all kicked off. Lisa and Bridgette stormed in to the bedroom staging a revolt saying that they were no longer going to do the task, meaning the somewhat crazy Medieval royalty task was bought to an early end - probably just as well seeing as they'd almost definitely failed anyway.
It was a combination of booze and the arrival of the wacky Yank Jackie, who was coming out with some bizarre shit with palm readings and stuff that was getting just a little too much for the housemates.
A very drunk Kenzie went off on a "fuck this fuck that fucking fuck it" rant like he had just a couple of nights before when they played Spin the Bottle and signalled the start of John's two day silence.
Bridgette's words to one of the cameras that was focussed on her were "big momma is out of here" and blamed it on Big Bro putting the mother-in-law in the house.
It's not too clear where the other housemates are - presumably both Jeremy, John and Germaine are in their beds in the bedroom, whilst Jackie must be asleep in the waterbed in the extra bedroom to one side.
Looks like Channel 4's idea of putting someone in to cause a bit of tension has certainly worked, but if Bridgette does walk in the morning then the overall plan has back-fired pretty badly. Especially seeing as Jackie is hardly likely to survive the first public vote that she comes up against - if she doesn't walk from what she considers a hell-hole anyway!
Best thing for Channel 4 and Celeb Big Bro in general would surely be to throw Jackie back out, and just forget that she ever arrived - it certainly looked like it could work to start with (mad yank arrives, causes lots of interest, refreshes the show and removes the boredom due to freak factor) but clearly that's not the case, and her being sent packing within hours of her arrival might be the better solution.
