Day 34 of 71 - Housemates given a Full Moon Party
Posted by Simon at
10:56 PM
Housemates passed the Glastonbury-style task this week, meaning they get their full shopping budget for next week, and are also rewarded to a Full Moon Party.
And it seems to have hugely improved the mood in the house, as they've also had music piped in to the house including Jamiroquai's Cosmic Girl and Toploader's Dancing in the Moonlight - although it'd seem it might be from the portable CD player that Emma was listening to in the bedsit as it's jumping like shit every few seconds, which must be highly embaressing for Channel 4.
Even Jay appears to have come out of his near-constant "moody cunt" persona tonight, and has been seen bopping away holding two light sticks, and even getting jiggy with the clear glass wall in the shower... nuff said.
It doesn't look like housemates have been given any booze, or if they have they must have polished it off within minutes, but they're being the typical demanding kid-like selfish housemate, constantly demanding more from Big Brother... are they NEVER happy with what they're given?!
Becki seems to be trying to show off her singer-dancer moves too, singing along to the tunes as they're played as if she's got a point to prove to record companies who may be watching, and dancing like she's on Top of the Pops... probably as near as you'll get though, so fair play to you Becks.
Day 34 of 71 - Oh just folk off!
Posted by Simon at
04:16 PM
The third part of the weekly task has made The Eye wish they'd stop playing that Folking music, as it's doing my folkin' nut in...
They've had to make a folk song - split in to three groups, they've each had to compose and perform their ditty, using tambourines and guitars... it brings back nightmares from Big Brother 2 where Dean used to just sit around strumming the strings of the guitar all day and all night... argh, my ears are going to bleed!
It seems that half of the house have instantly taken on drugged up hippy personas now that they've been given the equipment to perform this bit of the task, which for nush-alike Shell has ment she's gone all flowerpowery, closing her eyes and sweighing side to side as she sings the fucking iritating song that they've made up in the garden... PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!!!
Dan's doing his overly-camp-acted-up acting that he appears to be able to pull off with ease - he's either doing it because he knows he can do it, or he really is a theatre style 'dhhharling'... if it's the latter then he can fuck off at the next eviction too. Ughhh...
Shell really has gone more hippy than normal
During a chat with Michelle in the bedroom this afternoon Shell came out with an absoloute corker of a hippy "head in the clouds" studenty style statement which you'd expect from her... it all revolved around the fact that Michelle's upset she could be leaving on Friday, and she'll miss her chicken Stuart...
...now she wants Stuart to drive up to see her in Newcastle, as she doesn't drive. Shell asked Michelle how far it was (and neither of them knew... answer: a long way) but here comes the corker:
"he could drive up there, and then drive you back to macclesfield, and then you could get a dog, and drive down to brighton, and go promenading"... she said, as she tailed off, clearly dreamy and maybe realising she was talking bollocks.
Now, let's analyse that statement a bit closer... Shell's saying to Michelle that Stuart could drive from Macclesfield to Newcastle, and back (Multimap says that's about 300 miles round trip), and then "get a dog" (why?! is that some sort of hippy thing to do? just get a dog, just because...) and then "drive to brighton" (that's another 243 miles just the one way!!), so as they can walk along the seafront... WHAT. THE. FUCK. ?.
And if they drove back (although that didn't sound like it was in the plan - Shell was probably thinking that Michelle and Stu could just drive there in a flower-power painted VW Camper Van or something) it'd make up a grand total mileage of around 800 miles... And anyway, surely if you were in Newcastle you'd go to some North Eastern beach location (or even better Scotland maybe), and if you were in Macclesfield then somewhere abysmal like Brighton would be the more natural choice? But Brighton???? Why the FUCK isn't Shell up for eviction this week? I want that silly bint OUT!
Is Becki a plant to save failing series? Get her out!
Posted by Simon at
12:00 PM
If reports in the papers are to be believed, Becki's only been put in to the house because she's already been in there before!
She's said to have been one of the contestants who entered the very same house, as part of the pre-series mock Big Brother, where they tested it all out before the real housemates entered.
If this is true, it has serious implications for the whole idea of Big Brother, and makes the whole series a total farce, and one which Big Brother surely can't expect any more public confidence in the eviction voting procedure - why should the public pay to evict people now if Big Brother is potentially fixing it?
So not only has she already experienced the house, ahead of time, but she's also been able to watch it during the first few weeks, and apparently told Nadia that she "knows her secret" but that she'd not tell anyone because she respects her for it... BUT HOLD ON A MINUTE BECKI, AREN'T YOU MENT TO NOT TALK ABOUT THINGS YOU'VE SEEN OF THE SHOW SO FAR DURING THE TIME IT'S BEEN ON...
According to the articles in papers, and reported on Digital Spy, "Becki is the wildest-ever Big Brother contestant. The dry run for the show was a sex-fest because of her." and during the dummy run "She pulled her top off after a few hours and invited one of the lads to feel her boobs."
The insider also told The Sun that "They ended up in bed naked but stopped short of full sex. She then moved on to another lad and seduced him by sucking his toes in the hot tub." - because of all of this action which she offered before producers felt that she should be introduced to the proper house in the hope that she would continue her raunchy behaviour... she's not yet though, has she? And let's face it, she probably won't. What's more, SHE SHOULDN'T BE GIVEN THE CHANCE... SHE'S NOTHING MORE THAN A PLANT BY THE PRODUCTION TEAM, AND IT'S A FARCE!
The Eye is hugely dissapointed that Big Brother feels the need to do this. They might as well have just asked a team of 12 professional actors to enter the house this year, and pretend they never knew each other, but instead be working off a script with auto-cue machines hidden away behind the mirrors...!

Day 33 of 71 - Marco, Michelle and Nadia up for eviction
Posted by Simon at
08:44 PM
This weeks nomination results have been announced, and there's three housemates up for eviction, with Marco and Nadia the clear favourites to go based on housemates votes, and newbie Becki throwing in the joker card by adding Michelle to the eviction mix.
Becki didn't get to nominate as such, as she's only just entered the house, but Big Brother let her pick one housemate who would be up for nomination - even if they'd have received no votes from the rest of the house. She had to tell Big Brother who she'd picked by kissing that housemate on both cheeks, and she chose fellow bisexual semi-tanned singing wannabe Michelle.
So who voted for who...?
Ahmed voted for Marco and Nadia
Dan voted for Marco and Jason
Jason voted for Nadia and Marco
Marco voted for Jason and Victor
Michelle voted for Jason and Ahmed
Nadia voted for Jason and Victor
Shell voted for Marco and Nadia
Victor voted for Marco and Nadia
Becki voted for Michelle
It's clear from the nominations that the loud pairing of Marco and Nadia aren't best liked, and it's been clear since the week before the big fight that there was a divide starting up in the house - one which Jay especially seems to have tried to win Ahmed over to after Dan and Vanessa went up for eviction meaning they'd have been short on numbers on the "respectful boring" group.
It's slightly suprising that Victor didn't get more nominations after the fight, and seeing as Michelle saw how two-faced he was when she watched from the bedsit, it's bizarre that she picked Ahmed because of the fact that he tries to engage housemates in discussion - "It's not me to go round and have deep conversations" she said... Uh huh.
Also suprising is that Moody McJockstrap Jayson isn't up for the public vote, as it seems likely that he'd have been fairly likely to have found the public boot him out for what does seem to be an ever increasing case of "boring arse" syndrome - for days now he's just strided around the garden wearing the same black shorts and black vest, with the baseball cap on backwards, pulling moody faces and prattling on inchorently about rubbish that has got his back up... He was the third least liked housemate based on the nominations, so it was a close call for him and although it'll depend on who goes this Friday, it'd seem he's fairly likely to come up for eviction before long.
The Eye expects either Nadia or Marco to be favourites to get the boot this Friday, with probably Marco's ear-screaching campness just putting him at the forefront of peoples anger and wanting him out - thing is though, keeping him in will continue to piss off the likes of Jay, and to be totally frank, that can only be a good thing... Maybe Nadia needs to get the boot, or the geordie-Chicken Michelle might well come in for her second eviction, despite currently being the least annoying of the annoying three (if that's possible).
Day 33 of 71 - Housemates given 2nd part of fest-task
Posted by Simon at
02:49 PM
There was a time when the weekly task lasted several days, and was just that - the task. This year though it seems Big Brother can't make a task last more than a few hours, and instead of splitting things up in to lots of mini-events.
So today housemates were a bit suprised (and dissapointed) to find that the stage had been removed from the garden. At just after 2pm they were called to the sofa's and Dan read a laminate from Big Brother, informing them of the 2nd part of the task...
...to each write a poem about one housemate, and something which they have learnt about them since they've been in the house.
They'll then get to perform the poem to the rest of the housemates later today.
Bit dull compared with some tasks, isn't it? What ever happened to the idea of waking them up at random times of the night to be on the stage rocking away like nutters? Even the fast food task ment they were providing some form of entertainment right around the clock, but this is just a small aside out of their day to sit there scribbing away on blackboards, before realising they can't think what else to write, and going back to what they were doing before - moaping around bored.

Day 32 of 71 - Is Jay Cowen just thick?
Posted by Simon at
02:27 PM
I've always wondered what it is about a Big Brother housemate, that makes them totally unable to follow the rules which are given to them - simple things like "housemates must remain on the sofa's" as one example.
But it seems Jay simply can't, or maybe won't, follow the rules. He always seems to be the housemate who isn't wearing a micrphone when Big Brother announces over the tannoy that housemates must wear their microphones at all times - the thing is, he never seems to appear to give a fuck about it, and just snarls his nose up, and continues on with what he was doing - usually putting facial products on his face, or pruning his blonde-ginger hair.
Trouble is, Jay, with no microphone on, us viewing public can't hear what's being said... now you might not be wearing one because you don't want people to hear what you're saying (or if Dan's believed, what you're muttering as a moody cunt), but it's fucking annoying as a viewer to only very distantly be able to hear what's being said... you're on a TV show, wear the fucking mic!
And it's the simple request of "housemates must remain on the sofa's" seems to be too much for Jay. He'll often be standing up, walking around "near" the sofa's, and during the current nominations that they're doing, he's just walking about in the garden, despite being told on several occasions that housemates must remain on the sofa's - he knows the rules, yet blatently ignores them. Now he may well need a dump in the portaloo like he's saying he needs, and obviously that's a bloody good reason NOT to be sitting on the sofa's, but why doesn't he just go for a dump and return, instead of constantly standing up and walking out in to the garden.
He's also been standing around in the kitchen during the nominations, where it's pretty fair to say everyone else has remained seated perfectly well, but instead he's in the kitchen, making some food...
...and then he goes and stands on the decking outside in the garden to eat the food - not sit down on the sofa's with everyone else, and eat it - no, he has to stand outside in the garden, despite being told several times in the past hour to remain on the sofa's. what IS his inability to sit down? Has he got ants in his pants? Maybe he's scared shitless people will see through his gameplan and realise who he's nominating, and he daren't face up to them.
He really needs to be given another official warning, and kicked out.
Update... he's on a rant after getting a warning...
Apparently Jay did get a warning from Big Brother today after near constantly ignoring Big Brother's request to sit down. He's said to the other housemates that he was walking around because other people were smoking - the other housemates wern't too sure if this was the real excuse though or if he'd picked on that to try and blame the housemates for his warning.
And he's gone on a bit of a rant this evening, like the bitter man Dan has said he thinks Jay is, going on about this that and the other... he's not really getting a lot of sympathy though, as Ahmed doesn't smoke and doesn't like the smoke but has said how he's managed to deal with it, and the others are saying how he should have simply told them how he wanted them not to smoke... but then Jay has harped up with how there's not enough space to sit on the sofa's anyway... but there is, as they've managed it before and they've done it with 12 people - there's only 10 people now... do the sums, Jay. There's space. Poor excuse.
Unfortunately though every point he's coming up with is sounind like a badly thought out argument that you'd get from a drunk who isn't quite sure what is being argued and doesn't actually mean it - he doesn't seem very confident in the points that he's making, and he keeps going on and on about the points, for hours "like a bear with a sore arse" (to coin a phrase from the house tonight), but not actually getting his point out properly... he drones on so much about the point he's trying to argue, tieing himself up in knots, spluttering out words like a worried schoolboy, and sending anyone who was listening, to sleep. And all the time he's standing there hands in pocket, baseball cap on backwards, little boy sort of face like he's been told off and knows he's wrong but wants to get the final word in.
It's embaressing to watch. The Eye is bored with it and can't wait until Jay comes up for eviction - something which the other housemates feel is fairly sure to happen this week.
Day 32 of 71 - Glasto task means no shower and possibly no food!
Posted by Simon at
11:38 AM
Big Brother has set the housemates their weekly task - and it's a mini Glastonbury, in the garden... but if they fail this weeks task they'll get no shopping next week.
The shower is also being locked off for the duration of the task, and it'd seem the toilet might be too, although it's not clear what is to be used as the "outdoors" toilet, where as they do have an outdoor shower plus the two pamper pool baths. Presumably there's a stinky portaloo dumped in one corner of the house somewhere.
Each housemate will be required to dress up in costume, which consists of a jacket and wig, and when ever Big Brother plays a guitar riff in to the house they'll have 20 seconds to get dressed in their costume and then appear "on stage" in the garden, rocking out with the equipment provided.
All tea and coffee in the house has been replaced with herbal tea, and Big Brother have switched off the hob and cooker, and removed the kettle and toaster - leaving the housemates to prepare all their food on the stove in a Glasto camping style.
It's thought that Big Brother will call them to make their performance at purely random times during the next couple of days, but if there's more than three failures, there's no shopping next week - bet the housemates didn't expect to see that, after their weeks so far when they've had to do NOTHING to get their shopping budget.
And their reward for the task - if they do pass.... a "full moon party"

Day 31 of 71 - Becki enters the house...
Posted by Simon at
04:17 PM
Big Brother have introduced a standby housemate to the house, and it'd appear that the papers were spot on that it was going to be Becki Seddiki - but how will this new arrival go down with the other housemates?
Michelle looks like someone's entered her territory, as clearly she was the singing star brunette, and now Becki's here she's lost her edge somewhat. Gameplayers Victor and Jay both look confused - they've already spouted their bitter bile at events that have struck the house previously, describing Emma and Michelle's return as a "fucking disgrace" and it'd clearly messed up their gameplan... surely this will mess it up further, although it has to be said standby housemates rarely last any longer than their first week nominations when they're odd's on fave for eviction.
Nadia's talking to Becki about boobs - saying that she's "only 25" (her profile says 33...) wants her boobs done, with "triangles cut out" and bits "moved up a little"... does the "i wannabe a pop star, and have surgery on my tits" run in the trait of being a Big Brother housemate?
It was widely expected that a new female housemate would be introduced to the house after the departure of Vanessa on Friday, which caused a fairly unbalanced household with half of the girls already gone, leaving double the number of blokes...
Becki's entrance to the house...
It was "routine maintenance" that Big Brother described as the reason why housemates had to leave the bedroom earlier today, and whilst this was taking place, Becki was making herself at home in the bedroom, unpacking her case.
So big shock for the housemates when Big Brother announced "Would Becki please come to the Diary Room", at which point she strolled through the house to cheers from the other housemates.
Maybe Big Brother will give them booze to celebrate - for the first time since the big fight over a week and a half ago... Although, maybe not. Maybe they daren't risk another fight - Michelle certainly looks miffed enough to claw Becki's eyes out right now...
What do you think of Becki and her arrival to the house? Do you think she'll be popular, or maybe make lots of rivals, and who do you think will be the first to take a pop at her? Post your thoughts in our special HoC Forum topic
New housemate "BB Seddiki" to enter?
Posted by Simon at
12:47 PM
According to reports in a few of the Sunday rags today, a new housemate has been lined up to enter the house - 33 year old Morocccan-born Becki Seddiki.
And would you believe it, she shares a trait with so many other Big Brother housemates, in that she's a singer... how novel is that? However there's a bit of a novel twist here as her "stage name" is BB Seddiki... wonder what the BB stands for? Presumably not Big Brother, but who knows...
It'd appear that she's more "famous" than the other housemates so far, already having released some songs and with her own website at www.bbseddiki.com where you can find a few MP3's of her songs, and also a Yahoo Group about her... Google also suggests that she's done the lyrics for a group called "misnomer".
The Eye thinks that seeing as her details have got out before she's entered the house, her chances have probably been blown, although seeing as the papers managed to almost exactly leak details of the entire house line-up this year, there's no doubt that she could still enter despite being revealed to the public before entry...

Day 30 of 71 - The 'Human Games' Live Task
Posted by Simon at
08:28 PM
Ahead of the start of the live show on Channel 4, housemates have been allowed to practice with the Human Games items, which include a giant sized hoop and wobbly electric wire device, and a human bowling ball.
Most are taking to it with the fun intended, trying out the various methods of trying to get a person from one end to the other without setting the flashing lights and siren off - it'd appear BB's not switched the "shock" factor on yet.
However, Glaswegian "moody cunt" Jay Cowen (for he and he only appears to love to mention his WHOLE NAME whilst on TV, almost as if he's trying to make it a household name) is striding about looking like aforementioned "moody cunt" in the garden - alone.
And it wasn't long before a chirpy looking Victor joined him, munching on a piece of straw like he seems to have some sort of annoying habit of doing, and the sound was dumped, so no doubt they were both cussing how "fucking ridiculous" it is, blah blah blah boring.
Don't let on that we've rehearsed it...
And in a case of Big Brother coming across as more two faced and fake than some of the housemates (Vanessa, Shell, Jay, etc...), a laminate which Dan read out told housemates that they wern't to mention the fact during the live show that they've already had a chance to rehearse the challenge tasks... despite the fact that him reading that out, and them practicing them, being shown "live" on E4 on the stream... well done Big Brother.
Obviously there's going to be a few last minute suprises that will suprise them, along the lines of the fact that a small electric shock will get the helmeted housemate that has to move along the wobbly bar, and it doesn't seem yet that they've twigged the human bowling ball will mean that they may well just have to become human skittles...
Another gaffe by Big Brother?
Ever since "the fight" the other week, it's been thought that the high-up garden cam isn't quite in sync with what's going on in the house... in fact, it could be several minutes out, and this was revealed to full effect when it showed the overturned party table out in the garden about 15 minutes before it was carried out last week...
...so no suprise then that one minute we see Victor in the human bowling ball, behind bars and caged up like an animal (see the irony in that?) and the next we're treated to a very brief view of the high-angle garden cam... just obviously the producer realised the mistake and cut away to statue/taps/hose-cam as it'd just revealed Big Brother crew in the garden placing out purple coloured "pins" for the bowling.
Live show starts, and the big mouths blab out the secret...
The live Channel 4 show started, and Dan read out the laminate from envelope 1 - all was going well, until Jay Cowen spurted out the fact that they know they can do two of them, and Victor saying how they've bought us inside here (bedroom) so they (Big Brother) could have changed anything outside...
Almost everyone talking about the fact they know they can manage two of the tasks with ease - as they've tried those two already, although they were told not to let on about that fact. The one that they don't know of course is the conundrum, as they've not had a chance to even see that one yet.
First part, and the housemates are BANKRUPT
The first part of the task saw Victor trying to guess the 8-letter word which the housemates were wearing on the sandwich boards... just he clearly didn't have a clue, and didn't work out that it was BANKRUPT that he was trying to sort out... Not quite Bankrupt, but £3000 less in their prize fund for that failure.
Human Skittles
Jay and Victor hurling Michelle along inside the metal ball, plenty of "oh fucks" from Jay, as Michelle wobbled out of control bashing in to the side walls, and it'd appear that the pair who were bowling the ball ignored the rule of clearing any fallen skittles out of the way... which probably means they've failed it, despite the fact that managed to floor every single skittle within the time limit.
So is there a shock in store for the third part?
Ahmed, Dan, Nadia, Marco, Shell and Stuart are the six who have nominated themselves for the task, and the laminate has revealed to them that they've got to all stand on one side, and can't hold the helmet to balance the housemate - something which they'd heavily relied on for the pre-challenge runs earlier this evening.
Shell's been helmeted up, carried across, and not a shock in sight - they actually managed to get her from one end to another without the loop on the hemlet coming in to contact with the copper pipe - quite dissapointing really, as it was that one aspect of the Live Task which was being billed as the main feature for the whole show... Almost as dissapointing as the stinging nettles a fortnight ago.
Results of the live challenge:
£3000 was lost on the human conundrum which the housemates FAILED, but they PASSED the human skittles and the human buzzer test ment that they didn't lose a further £7000, meaning the total prize fund now stands at £74,000. And the show ended in controversy with Ahmed of all people saying that the contract says that the housemates will win £100,000 and that by making them lose money it's a breach of the contract - something which the other housemates had doubts about as they felt it said "up to"... Dan of course, helpfully pointed out that Big Brother can also change the rules at any time... and don't they just love doing that.
Day 30 of 71 - Food arrives, and so does Stu's cowboy hat
Posted by Simon at
03:46 PM
As part of this week's shopping budget, Stuart decided to spend some of his part of the allowance on a cowboy hat, after his extended use of the cowboy outfit from the previous weeks task.
However, it wasn't the same cowboy hat that he'd had earlier in the week, and was instead some huge floppy white hat, with poncey designs on it - he didn't seem too impressed.
Other housemates all asked to try it on though, so it can't have been that bad, and after a short while he seems to have quite grown to liking it, walking around the house with it flopping in front of his eyes.
It's strange however, that Big Brother asked Jay to remove his baseball cap, as it was covering his eyes, yet Stuart has been given a hat which is more than 10 times the size, and totally covers his face...
Better news though for the housemates was the fact that this weeks shopping has arrived, and they soon started to demolish the mound of food as they started to snack away as if they'd not eaten for days - although, to be fair, they haven't had much to eat as they totally fucked up the rationing of last weeks' food.
Seems they'll do no better this week though, as quite a few of them were wandering around with one bit of food in one hand and a slice of thickly jammed-up toast in another, whilst munching their way through Victor's custard creams, and generally eating it like it's a never ending supply... when will they learn!?

Day 29 of 71 - Vanessa you have been evicted!
Posted by Simon at
09:29 PM
Vanessa is the first housemate to be properly evicted from the Big Brother house, having received more votes from the public than her eviction rival Dan.
Vanessa received a huge 86% of the votes, so it's without doubt that the public was getting fed up with her mother-goose style approach to things in the house - probably not helped by her petty moaning about the wasting of food after last weeks food fight.
The departure of Vanessa will mean there's only 3 females left in the house (dubious, as one of them is Nadia, so maybe make that 2...) and 6 blokes, making it much more likely that a standby housemate may enter the house within the next week or so to try and balance numbers up slightly.
However with the messed up evictions during previous weeks, with Kitten being evicted ahead of schedule, and then Emma also being made to leave, causing this weeks eviction to be put back a week, may well not really leave Big Brother with the option of bringing in an extra housemate... Of course they could always kick out grumpy cunt Jay, and vicious Victor for their constant rule breaking when it comes to talking about nominations, nicely opening the way for a new housemate.
In the minutes leading up to Vanessa's live eviction on Channel 4, the E4 streams have been showing how the housemates are dealing with the news, and also trying to re-jig the sleeping arrangements, as a matress will be removed as one has been for every previous "eviction" so far... with Shell still requring one half of the double that she shared with Vanessa though, it's not too clear quite who's matress will be nabbed by Big Brother.
Blabbermouth Vanessa revealed to the housemates confidential information about the eviction process after a quick chat that she'd had in the diary room, and was instantly recalled to the diary room to be reminded that she wasn't to tell the housemates anything about what would take place once she'd walked out of the door... Of course with her being evicted though, there's no really anything Big Brother can do about it - what are they going to do, give her a warning?
Day 29 of 71 - Looks like Vanessa's evicted...
Posted by Simon at
04:51 PM
It'd appear that there's no doubt about who is going to be evicted from the Big Brother house tonight, after the official Channel 4 website leaked the results...
In the "housemates" photo bar across the top of the site, each housemate has their current contestant status shown by a graphic - either just their face if they're still in and not nominated, a "nominated" graphic if they are up for the public vote, or "evicted" if they've been voted out. Then of course there's also Emma's "gone" graphic.
So to the leak of who's been evicted... clearly Vanessa has been, because at 4:30pm her "evicted" graphic is up on the Big Brother server, ready to be put in to place. Dan, who is up against her, doesn't have his evicted graphic up, and neither do any of the other housemates who are still in the house.
It's quite possibly a monumental gaffe by Big Brother, but it's no less than we'd we'd expect from previous years when similar issues have cropped up by the phone lines being opened before the nominations had been announced, and other technical hitches giving away secrets - much like the overhearing of Davina mention the "bedsit" during the fake eviction the other week.
Unless there's a sudden turn-around in the voting during the remaining couple of hours, it looks as though without a doubt, Vanessa has been evicted tonight.
Update...
Possibly realising the mistake, Channel 4's website now appears to have all of the housemate's "evicted" graphics working again. Stick with The Eye for the latest eviction news as it happens later tonight.

Day 28 of 71 - Housemates suffer from lack of food
Posted by Simon at
11:09 PM
It's only Thursday night, and it'd seem the housemates have already munched their way through the massive food budget, with the food only being delivered a couple of days ago.
The next food order isn't due to be placed until next Monday, so they're in real dire straights at the moment, trying to work out what they can make with milk, flour, and pepper... as that's about all they've got left.
Earlier in the day Marco had been caught putting SUGAR ON HIS TOAST, much to the dislike of the other housemates as they later found out that they're now without any sugar until the next shopping delivery!
The Eye wonders if Big Brother will be soft and cave in to their demands, like they did with the cigarettes last week.
Day 28 of 71 - What Big Brother says... Housemates do...
Posted by Simon at
04:09 PM
In what appears to be an attempt to keep boredom levels down, Big Brother called the housemates to the Sofa this afternoon, and told them they'd be playing a game of "Big Brother Says..."
A matter of moments later Big Brother asked the housemates to stand like a teapot, followed by pulling a funny face... but within a few minutes the game seemed over. It's not clear if Big Brother might bark out further orders during the rest of the afternoon or if the boredom-reliving game became boring within minutes of starting.
It's certainly not improved things for TV viewers though, who are now experiencing a whole week of the housemates having NO BOOZE, and because of that very little conflict, very little drunken-style behaviour, and lots of bored looking people. Fun TV it does not make.
And it'd appear that the reward for taking part in the Big Brother Says game, was a hamper... full of... beauty products for the pamper room. How dissapointing.

Day 27 of 71 - I wanna be on TV!
Posted by Simon at
10:53 PM
Housemates have been given another "mini task", which has seen them make television set shaped boxes out of cardboard boxes, which they've placed over their heads.
They've then each had to pick a form of news, such as sports, science and politics, and pretend to be the newsreader - and perform a fake news report.
Marco clearly hadn't though what he was going to say, with lots of "and stuff" and "and stuff" and "shakeup's" in his politics report. Jay who was presenting the sport swung from side to side in a positively sea-sick inducing movement, which if on the real news would only be fit for the shipping forecast.
And the reward for this task? Nothing much it'd seem. Certainly no booze after the fight exactly a week ago which saw all of the housemates go off on one like never before.
The Eye thinks Big Brother producers are scared shitless of another fight breaking out, and wonders how long this "no-booze" policy will continue for...

Day 26 of 71 - StReDss-Head Jason
Posted by Simon at
11:43 AM
Housemates were woken to the noise of very badly played bagpipes this morning, and it wasn't long before they'd all got the message and hauled themselves out of their beds.
Most of them headed for the plastercast model in the livingroom to complete the second stage of that - the painting. However Ahmed seemed to have other plans, and didn't don the protective clothing, gloves and safety glasses, but instead wore his normal clothes and pissed off outside in the garden.
He was later seen praying, as he does every morning, in the pamper room alone. And it wasn't long before another housemate looked like he couldn't be fucked with taking part... yes you've guessed it, the all-too-moody scot, Jason.
And would you believe it, it does look like he is indeed a minger-ginger. That fake blonde hair that he prunes all too much, does seem to have gone a bit orangey around the edges, and his goaty beard is starting to come through a stunner, like some sort of Jimmy Hill style chin.
The moody cunt, who hasn't had much luck with Vanessa yet, despite molesting her almost nightly, has been pacing around the garden (in a similar style to Ahmed, and even whilst Ahmed has been doing the same!) and then slunked off to the pamper room where he appeared to sulk and reflect on things - alone.
It seems things are getting a little too much for the bodybuilding StReDss-head, especially since last Thursday morning's massive brawl in the house after Emma and Michelle returned, and clearly fucked up his gameplan royally.
Task completed... but Jason's not still happy
Housemates completed the model task, after having painted it and been told by BB that they needed to ensure the model was "dressed" which they soon twigged ment "cover the lower bits" because presumably it was "too rude" for daytime TV. Bless 'em. They also got some sort of mini task to do with Opera where they had to split in to two groups and ponce around doing this and that for the cameras... all fairly dull stuff.
And their reward for the challenge? Well after being locked in the bedroom for quite some time, upon their return they found an excercise machine. Most housemates seemed quite happy, but Ahmed just wanted biscuits and cakes, and Jason looked well miffed... but hold on a minute, isn't Jason the fitness freak? Wasn't Jason the one who earlier today was moaning about the fact he does excercise and wasn't able to enough or something as he mumbled his point to Dan in the garden? OH YOU GRUMPY ARSE!
He's also "stormed off" after having eaten a meal with the rest of the housemates, and was consoled by Dan who tried to calm the situation... it's not too clear what happened but it'd seem Jay's in a real stress today and just decided to piss off back to bed instead of remaining in close proximity to the rest of the housemates...
The Eye see's Jay the next to go round the bend in that house.

Day 25 of 71 - Ah ha, a task!
Posted by Simon at
11:27 PM
Finally, Big Brother producers appear to have pulled their fingers out of their creative arses, and given the housemates a mini task-es.
Housemates have been asked to make their version of a "model" housemate, made up from the best bits of the current housemates. It's resulted in lots of stripping off, measuring of private bits, and huge amounts of plaster as they form a cast to make the model.
Feet, legs, bottom, arms, hands, stomach, chest, face, hair and style all need to be accounted for, in what appears to be shaping up as some sort of Housemate Idol.
It does appear that it's bringing the group together, in what's very much a team based task with everyone's input required... but why didn't Big Brother get this going much earlier? It'd seem that last weeks fight saw Big Brother drop the ball whilst running, and take an absoloute age to get back with the action!
So was it The Eye urging "Big Brother's producers to pull their fingers out of their arses and do something to re-energise this series and get things back on the road" that has saved this series of the reality TV show? Damn right it was*.
*maybe.

Day 24 of 71 - Ever since that fight...
Posted by Simon at
08:28 PM
Ever since that fight earlier in the week, the housemates haven't had very much to do. Big Brother claims it's a way of letting them get over the issues that the brawl raised, and to patch up their differences.
The Eye calls it lazy work by the Big Brother producers, and bloody BORING TV!
So what have the housemates done today? I don't know. They lazed around in bed for ages, lazed around in the sofa area for ages, lazed around in bed some more, moved Nadia's matress on to Stuarts bed because Emma has now officially left and when a housemate leaves they take a matress - just Emma shared the double bed with Michelle, which ment they couldn't take the double matress. Thing is, this ment that Michelle prompted Stu to sleep with her. He was having none of it though, so it looks like he's remaining in his bed, on Nadia's matress, and presumably Nadia's going to sleep with Michelle.
Michelle's going to sleep with a bloke that used to have bollocks before they were chopped off. And we all thought it'd be Stu's bollocks that she chopped off and kept in a tin? The irony.
Emma's eviction interview
Despite not receiving an eviction as such, Emma had an eviction-style interview with Davina tonight, on what was claimed to be a live show. She didn't get to watch the housemates live on the screens around the studio (probably Channel 4 thought she might spot Victor and start a fight with him or something) but she remained as dippy as before, flapping her hands about in strange spirals and waves, giggling, and, err, being Emma.
And in another case of Big Brother changing things as they go along, the Psych's show which was ment to be on a Sunday night, and simply went AWOL on the first Sunday that it was to air, now isn't going to be a Sunday any more. Instead Channel 4 have decided to stick it in it's new slot on a Monday night instead... quite why the change, The Eye doesn't know.
The longest day...
Housemates have commented this evening how it's been the "Longest day for me" and how they're bored with nothing going on. How they don't understand why they're not being given things to do, such as the live challenge, and it'd seem not even the weekly task, which would appear to have been postponed from it's usual Sunday start.
So why hasn't Big Brother got back on with the show and resumed where they left off? Yes there was the fight, yes it caused major problems, and it caused the game to be "paused" whilst they sorted it all out. BUT THEY'VE SORTED THINGS OUT AND MOVED ON NOW. IT'S NOW TIME TO GET BACK TO PLAYING THE GAME! If it's good enough for Big Brother to remove a matress because of Emma's departure, then it's clearly good enough for the other events to take place in the Big Brother house. However boring the housemates AND THE VIEWERS is going to spell disaster for this series. The Eye urges Big Brother's producers to pull their fingers out of their arses and do something to re-energise this series and get things back on the road. Big Brother wanted conflict, and got conflict, and now they're fucking worried about what might happen if they get more - they're fucking cowardly.

Day 23 of 71 - Emma's gone beyond the point of return
Posted by Simon at
09:41 PM
Big Brother have announced that after much consideration, Oldham-lass Emma will not be returning to the main big brother house, and instead will be leaving the show.
According to the Channel 4 Big Brother website, they say "The house is calm as all the other housemates appear to be working through their issues, but we're concerned that Emma's return might increase the risk of a repeat incident".
An interview between Emma and Davina will take place for Sunday night's Big Brother show at 9pm on Channel 4, although it's not believed this will be live as you'd have with a normal eviction.
The leaving of another female housemate potentially opens the way for a new stand-in contestant entering the house, although with this week's eviction postponed (meaning they're on track for the right number of housemates for the final week), and tempers in the house not at their best, it might prove better to simply carry on as is currently.
The Eye is highly dissapointed in how Big Brother has managed this situation - they appear to have kept Emma in the bedsit on her own for far too long, which can't have been much good for her. Also the fact that the eviction and live Saturday task were cancelled because of the fight, makes pretty poor entertainment for TV viewers, because those two events are the high-points in the weeks action usually, but instead have resulted in two full days where housemates haven't actually had anything to do...!

Opinion: I hate Shell so much right now...
Posted by Simon at
08:19 PM
I HATE SHELL SO MUCH RIGHT NOW, I HATE...
-- (sung in the style of the song by Kelis)
Opinion: Twenty-two year old Shell entered the house as the "nice one" (according to BBC News' website). Apparently she's a "conscientious student who loves long walks, architecture and art galleries".
Ever since the first day that she entered the house, she's had something that niggled me. Lots of things. And it's getting more and more all the time. I hate Shell so much right now....
So why do I hate Shell so much (right now)?
She's got an annoying voice. Yeeeap (yes), Noooh (no), Kuuewl (cool). Now I say "yep" "no" and "cool" too, but she just says them in a really really annoying way, far too often. She also suffers from the "yep yep yep yep" or "no no no no" habit, which really annoys after a short while.
She also seem to be suffering more and more from the kitten-syndrome of "...i think.. maybe... i think...". Her speech is absoloutely littered with irritating pauses like that whilst she tries to think quite what she was/is thinking... argh!
She goes to say something trying to come across as miss-brainy, and then half way through saying it you hear her reversing siren come on as she realises she's just gone down a dead end.
She appears to think she's some sort of fucking Nigella Lawson. I'm sure she'll get her own show once she's out of the house. She seems to have some sort of ultra-posh cookbook shoved away in the back of her head, but it's SO FUCKING ANNOYING:
* Whilst doing the cooking, she said about putting some (fruit or something, I didn't catch it's name) as it'd "stop me going grey"... WTF, you're in the fucking big brother house, and you're putting stuff in the food to stop you going grey?! And you actually believe this utter bollocks?!
* She did the food ordering one week. She did it. Her. Not the whole group - despite the fact that 90% of them were sitting there doing the list with her. It was all "I'll order ___" and "I'll get nine of these"... HELLO? "I'll"... I thought it was a team style thing going on here... the whole group. Bad. Very Bad. Annoying too.
* Same shopping list, she was looking at oil for cooking... she decided to go for some oil that was nearly £3... Marco helpfully pointed out that there was a cheaper oil for something like 80 pence... she said "that's not as good for you".... SO THE FUCK WHAT? It's 10 weeks in the big brother house, sod the "good for you". They shouldn't even have the choice of the "good" stuff, it should just be the bare basics. The extra £2 she spent getting some poxy posh oil that is "good for you" could have been spent on loads of other stuff, like crisps, and chocolate. I'd have fucking hit the roof if I'd have been in the house and she'd have said she was going to order the more expensive oil over the basic oil.
* She ordered "Four leaks!" WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY NEED LEAKS FOR? And for that matter what the hell is it on the shopping list for? Is this ment to be a 10 week holiday for them, or are they ment to be trying to save every single penny they can in the shopping budget? I'd have probably thoguht about getting violent if I'd have been sitting there going through the shopping list when she said that. I'd not have though, as I'm not the violent type, but you get my point.
She smokes, far too much. I'm sure the first two weeks there wasn't half an hour that went by when she wasn't dragging away on a cigarette. Just doesn't look nice. And for someone that's so concerned about oil that "isn't as good for you" or putting ingredients in the food which will "stop me going grey", it's a bit ironic that she smokes isn't it? Presumably using some ingredients will stop her from dieing early due to clogged up lungs...?!
She shrieeeeeks and screams like a silly little hyperactive child. All sorts of things, from something like being sprayed with the garden hose to just something totally inaine like being dug in the ribs. It's FUCKING ANNOYING.
She's also got one of the world's worst ever laughs. I'm sick of it! "Ooooooooh-huuuuuuu-hahahahaha OOOOOOOh hooooooo hahaha". she also seems to be laughing whilst she's gabbling her words out to people. Now I can't say I've never laughed at myself whilst saying something (usually the jokes funnier when you think of it than when you say it) but she seems to have this nervous laugh in her voice even when she's not telling a joke... is she hiding a bit of fakeness maybe? I think maybe so!
She's just like Penny from Big Brother 2 (remember her? first to be evicted). She looks quite similar in some ways, and she's got a lot of similarities in the way she is. She digs for compliments, and wants people to praise everything she does, she wants to be told she's wonderful. She also talks to herself far too much, about totally pointless drivel, almost as if she's a cook on tv (ok, so when she's cooking, on big brother, I guess arguably she is) and that she's talking to the people at home, via the camera, about err, daytime tv style things. WE DON'T CARE, shut up!!!!!!! Please!!!
She wears silly clothes like she's trying to be some kind of fairy princess ballerina doll. A floaty skirt, which (as Michelle seems to quickly notice) ment that every time she sat down she flashed her nickers at the rest of the housemates. She also seem to have a thing for LEG WARMERS?! What the hell good are they doing? I'm sure they've maybe got a reason (or are they just some sort of 80's fashion disaster that she's not got rid of?) but what good are they in the Big Brother house? Sometimes they're pulled up high, and sometimes they've all fallen down like a scruffy pair of socks... they're just pointless!
She throws in the odd expletive now and then, such as "infact no bugger it, i'll get changed later"... eh!? Why did that need the "bugger it" thrown in? There's been plenty more examples and that's certainly not the best one, but they're not being said like she's "swearing" and more as if she's a kid in the playground at school trying to act cool by using a naughty-slightly-sweary-word ooh, bad girl. Nothing wrong with a bit of swearing, especially in context (although too much of it ain't a good thing, kids!), but she sounds like some posh spoilt little brat that is trying to be outlandish. Such a shame.
She's far too emotional. I'm not for one minute saying someone shouldn't show their emotions, and of course she's entitled to, but she's coming across as a bit, hmm, fake? Almost as if she's doing it to stay in the house (and maybe it's working because as yet she's had no nominations at all), but she seems to join the "emotional rollercoaster" at every single opportunity, piggybacking on other peoples emotional lows, especially blonde-buddy Vanessa's, at every chance possible. The fight is another good example, where she wasn't even in the room when the fight was going on, and was in the bedroom, but then was sick because of how shocked she was.... WHAT!? Have I misunderstood something here, or am I just being cold hearted and nasty?
I suppose that in reflection she's got some good aspects to her... I'm just finding it difficult to work out quite what they are...
What do YOU hate about a Big Brother housemate so much right now? Vent your splein in our special HoC Forum topic.
The Eye hates shell so much right now...
Day 22 of 71 - Eviction cancelled... but is someone still going?
Posted by Simon at
07:46 PM
Channel 4 earlier today confirmed that tonight's eviction was to be cancelled, due to the huge fight that broke out earlier in the week - claiming it was so the housemates could make up their differences.
The Live shows are still to go ahead, so it's a little unclear as to quite what they'll do - Big Brother's well known for it's suprises, and maybe they're going to evict someone else other than Dan or Vanessa, for similar reasons to Kitten's eviction.
Maybe Emma has decided that she's had enough and is going to walk, so will be interviewed by Davina during the live show. Or maybe Big Brother's told her that it'd be best for her to leave, and they're doing it in a way that isn't exactly throwing her out, but more pulling her out - for her own safety.
Victor and Emma are said to have spoken to each other in an effort to patch up their differences earlier today, away from the rest of the housemates, but as you'd expect with two strong willed people, it simply didn't get anywhere, and Victor's told the rest of the house that he simply can't see the two of them remaining in the house together.
Speculation from the housemates about tonight's live shows
Housemates have been coming up with their own theories all day about what might happen instead of the eviction - they always love to speculate, even when it's the tiniest of things which isn't quite the norm, and they're usually far wide of the mark. They do however sometimes hit the nail firmly on the head, much as they did with the bedsit.
It's thought by some of them that Big Brother might spring a suprise tonight, with someone going, or the now more favoured theory that someone might actually join the group - a new housemate... no doubt that'll cause tension too though.
Victor's also said that if he's not thrown out tonight he thinks Nadia will be - strangely he doesn't seem to believe the same of Jayson, who was said to have threatened Marco during the massive brawl, or even Vanessa who seemed to have attacked Nadia in the bathroom after she enquired how Shell was feeling, and prompted the security guards to be called in to calm the situation down.
E4's shown Emma, getting ready "to go"...
And the live coverage on E4 at around 7:30pm showed Emma - still listening to CD's, with her headphones on full blast - dancing away whilst getting ready, and saying "i can't wait any longer.... i'll just go like this". By this, The Eye believes she means "going" as in evicted, more than "going" as in returning to the house.
But then, maybe she just means she's going round the bend...
Day 22 of 71 - 24 hours after the fight...
Posted by Simon at
01:44 AM
So it's 24 hours after the big fight kicked off in the house last night, and it'd seem the housemates are still seriously shaken up by the incident... but some things simply don't change with Victor and Jason still being grumpy arses about Emma and Michelle's return.
Jason's been swearing and hissing away for the past hour or two now, sitting alongside Victor, Stuart and Dan on the chairs in the garden. Jason's said that Michelle and Emma must have nominated Dan and Vanessa for eviction this week - a point he's made several times, claiming "it's the maths" - thing is though, neither Vanessa or Dan were nominated by the bedsit pair.
In fact, in a pure case of irony and possible "two-faced-ness", it's two of the people he's sitting with at the moment (Stu and Vic), who nominated Dan and Vanessa! Ironic or what?
Jason's repeatedly moaning about how fucked up it is, and how fucking angry he is, blah blah boring - that man is far too bitter and harbours a grudge. If anyone inflames the situation again it'd look like Jason's the most likely currently. Victor's also clearly miffed, but more because of the fight than because of the girls return - it'd seem he's more confused with the situation than annoied.
Things do seem to have calmed down since the fight last night, although Emma's not made her return yet, and it's bound to spark up again for a short while at least if she does return - simply because people will want to have words with her and no doubt she'll have her piece to say too.
Housemates late last night were rewarded with pre-recorded footage of the earlier England vs Switzerland Euro 2004 football match, after they sucessfully completed this week's football task. All of the housemates seemed quite relaxed watching the match, although it was clear that Jason was sitting there with anger brewing away...

Day 21 of 71 - Emma returns to the bedsit - first pictures
Posted by Simon at
02:32 PM
Emma returned to the bedsit after last nights BRAWL which broke out between the housemates. Her future in the Big Brother house is still not known.
At just before 2pm, E4 viewers got a very quick glimpse inside the bedsit, which revealed Emma curled up in the double bed, seeming to be asleep.
It's still not clear if Victor and Emma were the main catalyst for the fight, or if possibly Marco being threatened by Jay, and Vanessa lashing out on Nadia for some unknown reason.
The Eye will have further updates as they happen...

Day 21 of 71 - Security guards and producers enter the house
Posted by Simon at
05:39 AM
It'd seem that SECURITY GUARDS AND BIG BROTHER PRODUCERS have been forced to enter the house to ensure the safety of the housemates, after the massive BRAWL which broke out earlier.
A quick camerashot which showed Victor walking through the living area, revealed a Big Brother producer, and Security Guard standing in the background.
Six of the housemates (Victor who is still awake, Michelle, Stu, Vanessa, Shell and Jason) are sleeping on the sofa's this morning in sleeping bags which have been supplied to them by Big Brother, and from the sound in the background it'd appear that Big Brother producers are currently in the house tidying up the mess that has been left behind.
Housemates haven't batted an eyelid at the noise, or mentioned the security guards - it'd seem they've probably been told that they're on set, and just to not mention them. Of course, the camera caught them in view though, so it's blatently obvious that it's not just the housemates that are there.
Nadia, Marco, Ahmed and Dan are locked in the Bedroom.
Emma remains absent from the group, as of 5:35am.

Day 21 of 71 - Domestic Violence in the BB house!!!
Posted by Simon at
02:19 AM
A huge fight has broken out in the house, after Emma and Victor had a clash of words. The cameras immediately cut to the garden view, but shouting, swearing and plate/glass smashing could be heard, before the sound was also cut.
Once the sound came back up there was still raised voices, and the housemates trying to restrain the main culprits of the fight, with Big Brother making a very urgent sounding announcement about Victor being told he must go to the diary room immediately.
Eventually the cameras returned to the in-house view, showing Victor still arguing with a clearly upset and red-faced Emma, but eventually the housemates managed to force Victor in to the diary room - it'd appear that Vanessa and Jay have also gone in.
Emma, Michelle, Nadia, Marco and Dan were then shown talking in the bedroom, and the next moment Shell was laying on the floor saying she was about to be sick, and she went in to the shower room.
And since then, it'd appear that someone on the Big Brother crew has hit the panic button, as both the Channel 4 live show and the E4 live coverage has been on a constant loop of cut-in footage showing various house items such as the statue, a camera, the hose, etc... E4 also went for an extended advert break during this time, which was longer than Channel 4's own advert break which is usually longer, but on return remained to be the inserted imagery instead of live feed.
It'd appear that the violence in the house has caused BB to pull the plug, at least for now. Never before has Big Brother quite seen something kick off on quite this scale. There's been fights before, but this really is something else.

Day 20 of 71 - Emma's already spilt the beans...
Posted by Simon at
11:52 PM
Loud mouth Emma has spilt the beans about where Michelle and herself has been, but, quietly... to Nadia and Marco whilst in the bedroom, whispering to them about the fact of where they've been and what they've been doing.
She told them that they've been in a bedsit, but that it's actually in the studio, and that they've watched everything and heard it all on headsets. Also that Dan's got cig's stored away, and that Victor is being very two faced and playing a game (well duh, it's a gameshow, Emma!) but that they've got to play a game against him.
Thing is, Ahmed's at the other end of the bedroom, and surely he's overhearing this... surely even if Emma is whispering, the checking of facts by Nadia and Marco are giving away enough details of what's going on.
Nadia's being really loud and laughing very loudly about things Emma's telling her and Marco, about the egging of the bed, itching powder, cold showers, etc... surely the pair that Emma is telling really aren't the best secret keepers.
Interesting to see how two faced people are being
So many of the housemates that have been bitching about Emma and Michelle behind their backs, both before they were evicted and after they had their "fake eviction" are now coming back all buddy and lovely. Thing is of course, Emma and Michelle know how this is fake, so it's sort of playing in to their favour, and it's making the two-faced housemates look very silly indeed.
The Eye thinks it might be a late night in the house...
Day 20 of 71 - And then there were 11, again
Posted by Simon at
11:41 PM
Michelle and Emma have re-entered the house, much to the housemates suprise. Housemates had been locked in the bedroom waiting for the start of a party, and when they exited they found there had been a huge meal put on for them.
But that wasn't the main suprise, as when they lifted the lids off of the turkey trays they found Emma and Michelle's heads poking through - they were hiding under the table as a suprise! And suprise it sure was.
Emma since returning has been LOUD AS FUCK, is rushing around like a total loon, shouting, rushing for the booze, and just being a total pillock. Michelle's been a bit more relaxed, but saying everything about what happened - or rather what the girls decided would be the series of events which happened between their "eviction" last Friday and their return just now.
Some housemates don't exactly look happy about it though...
Although Nadia and Marco are over the moon about the bedsit duo's return, some housemates appear less than happy - Jason's gone very quiet, and Victor's clearly confused to fuck about "WHAT IS goin' on" to use his much used phrase. It's clear that he's slightly miffed that they're back, and that he honestly felt they'd gone and were out of the game - his gameplan looks like someone's just torn it up.
Stuart is also looking a tad shellshocked, mainly because Michelle's back, and he's been quite active and enjoying the house during the last week without Michelle at his side every waking moment of the day, nagging at him and trying to snuggle up with him. It'd seem that he's pretty quickly realising that there could be several more weeks of "what ya thinkin' chikun" to come from Michelle, and that things maybe aren't as good as he'd have hoped.
Eviction nominee Vanessa is also looking more bitchy than usual, and as if she's been wronged somehow - although maybe after last nights comments to Jay about how she wants to make Michelle be the most hated woman in the country, she's probably a bit shocked to see her quite so soon, and might be regretting she ever said that. What she doesn't know is that Michelle also knows she said it, but the bedsit pair haven't let on that they've been watching their every move... sneaky!
It'll be interesting to see how long the party excitement lasts, and how long it'll take before the booze gets the better of them, and the fights break out as both sides of the house try and get even...
Day 20 of 71 - Now Victor's up on the roof
Posted by Simon at
02:51 PM
He's been threatening to climb up on the roof for a few days now, saying that he wants to see where the "secret room" and "secret garden" are. Sure enough, just after 2:30pm today he clambered up Kitten-style, for a snoop around.
After several very strict announcements by the stroppy sounding Big Brother woman, telling him to come down for health and safety reasons, a housemate in general was asked to come to the dairy room. Eventually however Victor came down, but didn't really get a good look at what was over the other side of the house at all, making it all a bit pointless.
He also speculated that it was the "secret bedsit" over there, and they all shouted Emma, to try and get a message to her. Little do they know that the bedsit is actually on the other side of the house from where they think it is, and also that Michelle is there.
And geordie Michelle doesn't seem too impressed that they think just Emma has remained and that Michelle's been fully evicted. Never mind eh Chicken.
It remains to be seen what sort of punishment Victor will be given, but it's likely he'll get a final warning. At this rate with the housemates sticking two fingers up to more and more rules as the days go past, they'll end up with no housemates before long...
Day 20 of 71 - Prepare for fireworks!
Posted by Simon at
12:30 PM
It looks like there could be an all out BITCH FIGHT in the Big Brother house tonight, when Emma and Michelle return, after their time in the bedsit.
But it's not the pair from the bedsit who are getting their claws out at the moment - instead it's the South African blonde Vanessa, who has had total disregard for the Big Brother rules over the past 48 hours, and came up for nomination yesterday.
According to reports on Sky News and Ananova, the aggressive bitch (who is often seen fighting with male members of the household) has said that she "will make sure she is the most hated woman ever in the UK" whilst talking about Michelle.
During her bedtime chat with body building Jason, she told him that "Revenge is sweet" and that "I think women can degrade other women, but I think she has degraded herself without any help." - ouch.
The South African believes, wrongly, that Michelle nominated her for eviction this week, and that it's because of her that she's likely to walk out of the house this coming Friday. Instead Michelle actually nominated Victor and Jason, and actually praised Vanessa earlier in the week by saying "She's got a good heart. She will help you out."
It's already highly likely that there will be fireworks when the bedsit pair return to the main house during the specially extended live show on Channel 4 tonight at 10pm, but Vanessa's just added fuel to the bonfire, and looks like she might have become the guy fawkes too.
The Eye thinks they better hide all sharp objects in the house...

Day 19 of 71 - Bedsit pair return tomorrow
Posted by Simon at
07:03 PM
Emma and Michelle are to return to the main house, during a specially extended show on Channel 4 at 10pm tomorrow.
According to a report on Ananova, "Tomorrow's 10pm Channel 4 show will be extended to include live coverage of them walking back into the house - to the shock of the other housemates."
It's not too clear if the highlights show which is usually shown at 10pm will bring viewers fully up to date with what's been going on in the house, or only cover the 24 hours previous, leaving another day's worth of catching up to follow on Thursday, and making the whole thing very disjointed.
Several of the housemates already believe that at least one of the evicted housemates will be making a return, and it's believed that Victor's already put his cards on the table, saying "When you come back through those fucking doors ... bring it straight to Victor and say what you've got to say. Prepare yourself for the biggest dressing down ever given on national TV" - you know what i'm sayin', like, innit?
No, Victor. We don't.
Day 19 of 71 - Dan and Vanessa nominated for eviction
Posted by Simon at
06:07 PM
The nominations are in, and the two who are up for possible eviction this Friday, are Dan and Vanessa - seemingly quite a shock to the housemates.
Vanessa may well become paranoid after today, as not only has she been nominated for eviction, but also the girls earlier in the day decided that she should be the housemate that gets itching powder put inside her football top for the task... which must make Victor and Jason (the two who have previously had pranks played on them) wonder why they managed to avoid nomination this week.
And thanks to the Channel 4 website, here's who voted for who in this weeks round of nominations:
Ahmed voted for Vanessa and Marco.
Daniel voted for Nadia and Ahmed.
Emma voted for Victor and Jason.
Jason voted for Nadia and Marco.
Marco voted for Daniel and Vanessa.
Michelle voted for Victor and Jason.
Nadia voted for Daniel and Vanessa.
Shell voted for Ahmed and Daniel.
Stuart voted for Daniel and Vanessa.
Vanessa voted for Ahmed and Nadia.
Victor voted for Daniel and Vanessa.
So quite a few votes there for both Dan and Vanessa - clearly they're not impressing their fellow housemates.
Day 19 of 71 - Got that, itchy feel...
Posted by Simon at
04:27 PM
One housemate is going to find there's a bit of an itch that needs to be scratched when they take part in the weekly task today... because Big Brother's put itching poweder in to their football shirt.
The bedsit-pair got to pick which housemate - from those who haven't already been pranked - was to get the devious act performed on them, and it was Vanessa that was chosen after a slight amount of discussion between Michelle and Emma, who was more interested in picking her manky toe nails.
Sod all else going on - might as well sleep
Elsewhere in the Big Brother house, there really has been sod all else going on today... seems it's turned dull, and even the weekly task is providing for little inspiration - although they rarely do.
So at just after 4pm housemates were WOKEN UP by the sound of a crying baby on the in-house speaker system... yes, that's right, so boring has today been, that the housemates had GONE BACK TO BED.
The girls prepare Vanessa's shirt...
Just after 7pm the bedsit duo were given Vanessa's football shirt to tamper with, along with a packet of itching powder, which they liberally scattered on to the inside of the shirt... surely it'll be noticed, but maybe not.
It'll be interesting to see what happens when the task kicks off...
Trying to hide that itch...
So the task started, with the housemates given 1 minute to get ready - at first Vanessa wore a t-shirt to go under the football shirt, but at the very last moment decided to go without it - much to the delight of Michelle and Emma who were watching from the bedsit.
And it didn't seem like the itching powder had much effect at first, until Vanessa had done her cone slalom, and then stood there watching the others, whilst trying to get a sneaky scratch in with no one noticing. Of course, the cameras picked it up though, and the pair in the bedsit sat there cackling away at each other.
The itching powder didn't seem to cause quite the annoyance (or fun) that was hoped for though, but over an hour later Vanessa has rolled up her sleeves and has been looking at her arm and scratching it, and clearly it's the itching powder reacting... excellent!

Day 18 of 71 - Egg-cellent prank
Posted by Simon at
09:29 PM
Jason looks set to find he's been pranked tonight when he goes to bed, and finds that it's drenching wet, and covered in broken eggs.
And it'll have been Big Brother which has done this devious pranking, at the request of Emma and Michelle in the bedsit. Yesterday Jason was singled out to be rained on every time he sunbathed in the garden, and the day before the bedsit pair had decided that Victor should get a cold shower as payback for his two faced behaviour.
It'll be about the only action there's been in the house today, which has been a duller-than-normal Monday, with only the nomination process keeping the housemates minds focussed for more than a few minutes earlier this afternoon.
Obviously the passionate action between Jay and Vanessa (or maybe even Jay and Dan) last night in the garden, was too much for all the housemates...
And Jay finds his bed has been egged, early!
Big Brother let housemates out of the lounge area just before 10pm, as they'd had the bedroom closed off so as they could egg Jay's bed. As soon as he returned to the room he went towards his bed, but soon noticed something was wrong, revealing a soaking wet bed.
Shrieks of "that's so childish" came from Vanessa, and other housemates chipped in with how rubbish it was that they (Big Brother) have done that, with Victor saying that it doesn't make good tv - and indeed it doesn't - it'd have been much better if the first he knew of it was when he got in to bed during the night, and waking up the other housemates with screams of disgust.
A whole egg had been left in the bed unbroken, and this was taken outside to be thrown at a mirror by Jay, as an act of revenge against Big Brother. There's some "crazy" kids in that there BB house...
They've now carried the materess outside to be hosed down, and it's been suggested that Big Brother's fucked up Jay's bed so he'll have to sleep with Vanessa - a suggestion which the South African "babe" didn't take too kindly to.

Day 17 of 71 - The girls rain on Jay's parade
Posted by Simon at
03:10 PM
Jay's fallen victim to the Bedsit pranks today, with the girls telling Big Brother that they want the sprinkler system turned on him, every time he goes out sunbathing...
...and sure enough, he went out in to the garden wearing just a pair of shorts, got comfy, and then found it was raining. It didn't take him long to realise that it was the sprinklers that were soaking him rather than real rain, but it'd not appear that he's twigged he's been singled out yet.
Several moves later, trying to find a spot in the garden where he can't get soaked, and he's still coming in for a dampening, although he's not looking resigned to the fact that he'll have to lay there getting a tan, whilst it rains.
Strange thing is, everyone else is taking part in the weekly task at the moment, but Jay has either already finished his Euro 2004 costume, or he's putting it off until later in the day.
Day 17 of 71 - Shell mows the lawn, nude...
Posted by Simon at
01:24 AM
They've only been drinking about an hour, but it'd seem that's all it needed for Shell to accept the challenge of stripping off and going for a run around the garden...
Suprisingly enough E4 didn't cut away, and instead followed the action all the way. Maybe they've realised viewing figures were dropping off rapidly after not showing a single bit of the topless mud wrestling during the live feeds earlier in the week.

Day 16 of 71 - Fun and games, in the bedsit
Posted by Simon at
10:55 PM
Clearly realising that watching Big Brother all day gets boring, the girls in the bedsit have taken to creating their own fun and games, in an effort to keep themselves amused...
First there was the "hide and seek", with Michelle going to the shower and counting to 30 before returning to the room to find Emma - just the room is tiny, and there's hardly anywhere to hide, so the entire game was fairly pointless fun which lasted just seconds at a time...
...especially when Emma couldn't stop laughing every time Michelle came looking for her - doh.
So it's probably not suprising that Michelle just got her tits out, without a care in the world. Top off, tits out, full view of the camera whilst Emma was prancing around in the background waiting for the diary room to be ready for her to ask a question.
And it'd seem that Michelle's loose top didn't manage to keep her breasts in even once she had put it on, giving a quick flash to the camera again as she jumped up out of the chair to go to the diary room with Emma.
So much footage for this year's Uncut DVD...
Day 16 of 71 - Housemates stung by Live Task
Posted by Simon at
09:14 PM
It's the Saturday Night Live Task again, and this week looks as though it'll have a bit of a sting in the tail for the housemates, who could lose up to £10,000.
The full extent of the stinging nettles was revealed to TV viewers just before the live task started, and although housemates haven't seen it yet, they're going to be in for a huge suprise... this isn't just a few stinging nettles, it's a bloody forrest of them, a couple of feet high... that's gonna hurt!
All tokens collected...
The first part of the challenge saw Jay and Vanessa form one wheelbarrow, and Stu and Dan form another - they managed to collect nine tokens (all 9!) and deposit them at the other end of the wheelbarrow course - that earnt the other five housemates the maximum of 90 seconds for part two of the task.
Now 90 seconds doesn't sound very long to "hang from a bar" to me, and I'd have thought it'd have been more like 9 minutes that they'd be put through, but interestingly just as the live show went to the advert break the comment of "it's raining" was heard... now is this real rain, or is BB using the roof-top sprinklers to make that bar slippery? Surely BB wouldn't be so evil... or would they?
Hang them high!
Shell was first up, and managed all 90 seconds with ease - although she had big thick socks on too which seems a bit unfair compared with the others such as Marco who is following and keeps getting his feet caught on the stinging nettles below... thing is, they only just seem to be alongside them and if they fell to one side they'd not fall in the nettles at all. With about 19 seconds to go Marco gave up, with Big Brother saying he'd failed.
Next was Ahmed, with shoes on. Swaying quite considerably to start off with, he soon managed to get a grip but eventually gave up, dropping with less than 20 seconds, and walking straight through the nettles without seeming to get stung.
So it's hard bloke Victor now... suffering from the cold shower inflicted by the girls earlier in the day, and no doubt bound to show his not-so-hard side in this task if he falls in to the stinging nettles below... Swinging like gibbon with 1minute 10 to go, he soon fell, but not particularly badly and walked through the nettles with an "ouch shit".
So Nadia's last to go, in position 5 of 5, and possibly the least prepared clothes wise from the whole group... she dropped with more than a minute to go, but fell the wrong side, and then walked through the stinging nettles. None of them seem particularly stung, although Nadia's rubbing his (haha) legs.
The prize fund has now dropped to £77,000, and the task wasn't really all that exciting. Bit of a poor show all round.
The Eye can feel the pain that they could have suffered.
Day 16 of 71 - Bedsit Bitchin'
Posted by Simon at
07:19 PM
The two girls in the secret bedsit didn't take long to get down to some real bitching about their fellow housemates once they saw the true side of them via the plasma TV screen and headphones.
Emma and Michelle were awake for most of the night, with Emma keeping Michelle awake with her constant gassing - from the mouth, and her overly active arse, which saw her farting like a trooper. They also woke before all the other housemates, with Big Brother requesting one housemate to come to the Diary Room to make their first decision of the day...
...who should get a cold shower... It took them no time at all to decide it should be Victor, after they'd seen him digging a hole for himself during the past few hours, by being nasty about housemates behind their backs and talking about nominations. Sure enough every time Victor tried to go for a shower it was freezing cold, but any other housemate had the normal temperature.
After several attempts at testing the water he stormed in to the diary room to ask what was going on, and Big Brother asked him if any other housemates were having the same "problem" - of course, they wern't.
This all came about after Emma and Michelle saw and heard slick Vic talking about the housemates and nominations, and everything which he'd told the pair that he doesn't do... if nothing else he seems to be holding the nomination gun to his head, and pulling the trigger for everyone else.
The Eye likes the twist that the secret bedsit is giving BB5, and can't wait to see the reaction when Emma and Michelle re-enter the house later this week with an upper hand on almost everyone else...

Day 15 of 71 - Emma and Michelle... to the bedsit!
Posted by Simon at
10:20 PM
Emma and Michelle are to be evicted... to the bedsit. They've got 1 minute to say their goodbyes. Ahmed's there for another week, he must be confused as hell, having beaten two girls and having to remain for yet another 7 days when he's so clearly said he actually wants to leave already.
So Emma and Michelle go to the "front door" and walk down the short corridoor to the main outside door... and stand there, not a clue what they're to do. Eventually the housemates let the front door close, and the camera shows a producer push open a side door, hold a finger to his mouth to tell them to remain silent, and two producers lead them down the backstage corridoors in to the bedsit.
It's almost as if the pair have forgotten that cameras are watching their every move, and Emma's already bounced out of her top and got her tits out, in full view of the cameras on the Channel 4 live show... Would appear that there could be fireworks in that bedsit, and not from arguments...! "Know what I'm sayin'? *wink*" as slick Victor would say.
Utter confusion continues to hit the main household, and Stu appears to have a tear in his eye, which Michelle noticed just as Channel 4's live show ended. Aww, bless.
The Eye will get back to you.
Day 15 of 71 - Who's going to enter the bedsit!
Posted by Simon at
09:28 PM
The shock news that the housemates simply wern't expecting, has just been revealed by Davina... two people are leaving the house tonight... and she'll "get back to them".
Seems there's another half hours worth of voting to go yet, and Davina's not going to reveal the two names until the 10pm show. Crafty stuff, no doubt made to keep both housemates and viewers on the edge of their seats.
The news was, as quite typical for the Big Brother housemates, followed by numerous "fuck" and "shit"'s, not to mention a huge dose of disbelief... nothing like it'll be when the two that go find that they're ending up in a shithole of a 70's bedsit though which from Davina's preview of it, really does look AWFUL. More a punishment than a bit of good luck. They'll probably wish they'd have been evicted!
They really are uncanny
It'd seem BB housemates know more than they let on - the E4 live feed which showed the house after Channel 4 had gone to the programme that filled the sandwich style gap between the two eviction shows, revealed that the housemates were talking about the "secret bedsit" that they believe they've seen through the mirrors, and also twigged that they're going to be well down on housemate numbers if two people go this week.
Some feel that an extra housemate or two might join, possibly from the bedsit - maybe reserves that have been in the bedsit for the same 15 days as they have themselves been in the main house. Others speculated that in fact maybe one of the two housemates being evicted tonight will return, with one getting voted back in by the public... so much speculation, and so much of it not being so far from the truth.
Chaos and confusion reins supreme in the Big Brother house, and looks set to for several days - especially when no new housemates arrive, and the two "old" housemates that leave tonight, make their return sometime next week.
Meanwhile on the live feed, AHMED has been called to the Diary room! He's returned though and Emma's been called now, so it'd look like Big Brother's asking them what they think of the double eviction before it happens.
Housemates overheard Davina - oops!
Turns out the housemates overheard Davina say "bedsit" and that is what threw them in to the frenzy of trying to work out what was going on with the bedsit - the speculation of what might or might not be happening. They've just shown this quick recap of events on the live eviction show on Channel 4, saying that they're suffering from utter confusion because of this, and no doubt covering Channel 4's arse somewhat from claims that the show is completely fixed.
Day 15 of 71 - Eviction worries
Posted by Simon at
02:24 PM
The first "proper eviction" is clearly worrying the housemates today, and they've done very little so far in the run up to it, with most of them lazing about and offering sympathetic comments to those who may be up for the chop, with no one really wanting to be rememered for their cutting nasty comments.
Of course, the two that leave tonight aren't really getting evicted and will just be a matter of feet away from the rest of the housemates in the grusome looking 70's style hotel bedroom.
And it's looking as though Ahmed's the least likely to be evicted tonight, which will be a bitter blow for him as he's constantly repeated how he only went there for a short bit of fun and wants to leave now - can he stand another week of the house, the alarms going off each morning, the annoying housemates, and everything else that has made him get in a stress?
It's feeling very much like the first weekend in the house - lots of raised voices, not because people are having an argument, but simply because everyone is talking all at the same time, all excitedly, all wanting to get their point heard... there's also a lot of fake smiles filling the house, and quite a few bitchy stares have been caught on camera.
It'd also seem that the housemates don't actually know two of them are "going" tonight, and still think it's just the one housemate up for eviction, and that the first they'll know is during the live show tonight when Davina tells them... could prove interesting, just as it will do when the same two find they aren't leaving at all!
Michelle clearly miffed
The geordie lass is cearly very miffed that she's been nominated and might be going already, and to add to her bitter dissapointment, Stu's not showing much sympathy, much as he hasn't done since "that night" where they maybe did or maybe didn't.
Clearly he wants a bit of space in the house and wants the nagging demanding OTT "sex siren" (as Ananova called her) to back off just a tad. Michelle however was having none of it, and every time he moved to a different part of the house she'd have a crunching gearshift of a change and follow him, like flys round shit.
Michelle even got all in a lather in a bubblebath, where she went topless - Stu showed a bit of interest, sitting beside one of the pamper pools in the garden, but had absoloutely no intention of joining Michelle in there, despite her near enough demanding he did so. Bitter, she most certainly looked when he walked off!
Uncanny...
It's happpened before in this series, and no doubt it'll happen again, but the housemates appear to have a bizarre sense of uncanny mind-reading to them - blonde nush-a-like Shell, just minutes before the announcement that two people will be leaving, says to the group "it'd be nice if we could leave in pairs - at least that way if someone boo's you, you could help the other person along and it'd not be so bad"...
Davina's also just shown the "secret bedsit" which is located near the diary room, linked by a corridoor and in the location of last year's "reward room" - not at all where the "hidden secret room" near the bedroom was located on the News of The World's early plans, making it possible that there is infact yet another secret room in that part of the house also!
The Eye will have more on the "fake eviction", later today...

Day 14 of 71 - Strike a pose...
Posted by Simon at
03:41 PM
Housemates were given a mini-task at 3pm today - to each do a life drawing of one housemate, with the winner getting a bottle of champagne and strawberries.
Michelle was, unsuprisingly, well up for getting her kit off, and instantly wipped her Bikini top off, grabbed the white cloth and draped it over herself, and a bunch of red grapes held in one hand.
The Eye wonders if any of the final masterpieces will end up being rather cutting and more revealing than some housemates are being with their words and actions.
Michelle gets to judge the winner, and there's some pretty good attempts, with Shell's appearing to be the best so far - Stuarts all around Michelle whilst she's judging it like flies around shit though, as if he's trying to persuade her to pick his.
It's good to see Big Brother's giving them mini-tasks to keep them occupied, as having 11 housemates just sit about all day doing sod all is hardly the best entertainment you'd expect to find on the TV... they've done sod all else today though until this!

Day 13 of 71 - Fast Food task FAILED!
Posted by Simon at
06:11 PM
The housemates have failed the Big Bro Food to Go task, with several abysmal failures when it came to the correct food deliveries.
Big Brother gathered the housemates around the plasma screen in the lounge and showed them each of the orders on screen, revealing where they'd gone wrong - providing the housemates with their first "what the viewer see's on TV" look at themselves.
Housemates were also given a full rundown of the things they got wrong, such as the fact that on six occasions complete uniforms were not worn by the staff whilst preparing orders.
Emma was then called to the Diary Room, where she found a laminate telling her that because they'd not passed the task, they won't get the reward pass which would have given them access to several rewards ranging from a hamper, to a water slide in the garden - as Jim Bowen used to say "here's what you could have won"...
The Eye thinks a few of them need to buck their ideas up a little.
Day 13 of 71 - Ahmed's just gone mad and smashed stuff!
Posted by Simon at
12:08 PM
The Eye could see it coming - Ahmed's been getting increasingly worked up during his time in the house, and the sound of the alarm going this morning seemed to really be racking him off.
So was it on purpose that Big Brother decided to ditch the Alarm Clock noise and go for a Car Alarm style siren for several later attempts at pissing off the housemates who were sleeping (or not as it soon turned out) later today - for almost two hours after the first wake-up call had gone out.
Ahmed goes mad and starts smashing stuff
Alarming as the siren might be, it was nothing compared with how alarmed the houesmates were when they witnessed Ahmed rush out of the house screaming his head off, with a handful of plates, shouting "SHUT UP!" and then throwing the crockery across the garden smashing it to pieces!
Surely Big Brother will be having words with Ahmed over that, and no doubt giving him a warning for damaging Big Brother equipment... thing is, it looks like they're sounding the alarm because they know it's pissing him off good and proper.
He didn't smash all of the plates, deciding to return a small handful back to the kitchen, but the few he smashed certainly showed the world that all isn't well inside the head of the 44 year old asylum seeker, who is currently living away from his wife, despite saying he loves her very dearly.
Eventually he dissapeared off to get some time to himself in the "Snug" but was soon joined by fag-puffing loud mouth (not to mention generally clueless) Emma, who was trying to find out what was wrong with him.
What Emma appears to have overlooked though is Ahmed's rant the other day about how he's pissed off with the passive smoking that he's having to suffer from - surely things aren't going to be any better with Emma filling the tiny room with clouds of smoke...
Quite remarkably Ahmed's still in the pampering room sulking and thinking things over, well over half an hour after the initial incident (also reported on: Channel 4's website, DigiSpy's BB website and Ananova although they're wrong about him leaving after 10 minutes... he certainly didn't) - he's even tossed the half-used bogroll that he's been wiping his eyes with, across the room in a fit of rage, as if it'd do some good. Wonder what he'll throw next? Toys out of his pram, probably.
Whilst he sits there feeling sorry for himself, the rest of the housemates are doing the shopping list - and that's usually enough to cause fireworks on it's own.
The Eye ducks flying cups and saucers.
Day 13 of 71 - The bells, the bells, stop the bells!
