Day 14: Task over... so they decide to stop talking
Posted by Simon at June 9, 2005 06:37 AM
It's the day before the second eviction, and with all housemates nominated to go tomorrow they'll clearly be nervous that it could be them leaving, never to return.
So before 6am is a strange time in the Big Brother house to see Lesley and Craig still awake - they left the diary room to find that Derek had woken (early for him too) and had been outside whilst they were chatting with Big Brother for what they claim to have been about 50 minutes.
And there's some talk of Saskia leaving this morning to go and see a doctor, although it was pointed out that if she goes outside of the house she'll not be allowed to return... surely she'll just see a doctor in the Diary Room though, unless it's something more serious?
Task over... and it's a baby gnome!
Housemates completed their Hospital task this afternoon, but it wasn't until Craig gave birth to "baby Britney", which happened to be a garden gnome wrapped up in a small gnome-sized cot.
More arguments...
Arguments have littered the house for the first two weeks, and today was no different. Admittedly Sam and Lesley appear to have patched things up, but things are still kicking off with Science being involved in some loud outspoken rows with various house members.
He argued about food with Derek, and others, and argued about the task with everyone, which lead to yet more arguments. Roberto's voice doesn't seem to have stopped droaning on all day either, with him trying to push his views and ways of life on to everyone else at every given possibility - mainly about food and the task, just like Science.
Clearly some housemates are getting very very very tired of it.
So fed up, they stop talking all together!
Housemates have got so annoied with the food situation, that they've decided to stop talking so as to pressure Big Brother in to changing matters. Most of them are laying on their beds, although Maxwell and a couple of others are in the lounge area.
No one has said anything for a remarkably long time. Sam did a bit of cleaning in the Kitchen area, banged some cupboard doors shut and exhaled a bit of a noise, but didn't utter a word before also going to lay down on her bed.
Will Big Brother buckle to the pressure? Last year housemates also tried a silent protest, and all got gathered together on the sofas, at which point the air conditioning was turned down very cold so as to annoy them and make them feel unconfortably cold. Housemate-power doesn't usually work against the rule-setting Big Brother, but there's always a first time.
Although quite predictably it was Maxwell and pals that spoke first (he was hardly going to keep quiet for ever was he?) and thankfully there's something to watch on the live E4 feed...
Updates from Day 14 will be posted as they happen...
