Nadia has just collapsed during the final Saturday task of the series.

The housemates took part in a challenge in the garden, which saw them being spun round on the wheel from earlier in the series, going over a beam with stinging nettles either side, through a tube of fish guts and under a scramble net over a tank.

Housemates were then told to sit on the sofas, whilst they stank of fish guts and grime, and were then told to go in to the diary room, where they had a total of 30 minutes to make their way through a selection of small drinks, ranging from what appears to be salt water and fish gut drink.

Nadia was first in and it was relayed to the housemates on screen, but after the first glass there was the noise of her throwing up all over the diary room. She exited the diary room, and was just seen on the edge of the camera collapsing to the floor and the noise of her throwing up - the camera cut to the outside high-view shot of the garden.

Moments later it returned to inside the house, with Nadia being comforted by Shell on the decking in the garden, whilst she continued to throw up.

Michelle is the latest housemate to have been evicted from the Big Brother house, with only one week left for the remaining five housemates.

She had become the bookies favourite to get the boot over the past couple of days, after an increasing number of bets had been received, including reportedly one huge bet, which seems to have been placed...

...and the repeated booing from the crowd outside the house certainly seems to show that Michelle isn't liked at all - she seems more hated than Jason, who this time last week would have almost certainly been favourite to have got the boot after his jungle cat pal Victor got evicted.

However, the boo's didn't seem quite as loud as expected when she finally came to walking out of the front door, although Davina did seem to sweep her off inside pretty pronto, and much faster than some housemates have been whisked off for the interview.

And the interview itself was pretty poor, with Davina yet again asking the same question time after time, fluffing her lines, and just generally not being as good as she used to be... what's gone wrong?!

It's the day before eviction night in the Big Brother house, and housemates haven't really got anything to do - it's turned rather un-eventful.

They've walked around, looking gloomy knowing full well that there's an eviction tomorrow, and sunbathed.

Made some food, slept, sunbathed some more. It's a bit dull really.

Stu's been called Chikun by Michelle several times, and Princess has been said to Shell on several occasions by the geordie lass. Nadia's gone "oh really?" a few times, and Dan's acted overly-camp. Oh, and Jason's still looking like a moody "c u next tuesday".

Nothing changes.

There's that age old saying about if you gave a million typewriters to a million monkeys...

...and it probably works pretty well giving 3 typewriters to 6 housemates, who in their pairs have each had to write a story, a minimum of 500 words long, as the final part of their 3 day chained-together task.

To add a novel twist to it though, they had to type the entire story with each housemate from the pair typing one key at a time and not allowed to type more than one key after another - they've had to take it in turns. Ouch.

And they actually passed this week's task...
Remarkably they actually managed to pass this week's task, meaning they get double the shopping budget next week, and they were also given booze to celebrate their passing of the task.

Personal messages from friends and family were also played to the housemates on the plasma screen, as their "extra special personal reward".

There were however some notable minor failings during the task, with Day 1 seeing two housemates apply lip gloss to themselves whilst chained to their partner, which although not a major failing, was against the rules. Day 2 was, amazingly enough, totally faultless.

But it was the third and final day where thing went back downhill, with two of the three pairs not typing enough words on the typewriter challenge - one pair only managed 233 words, whilst another 425 words - just 75 short of a pass.

The chained up housemates had to make their way across an assault course earlier today, holding a tray of eggs - and having to end up with a minimum of one egg by the end of the test.

They walked it, only dropping the one egg after finding that if they tilted the tray backwards in one direction the egg nearest one of the gaps in the corner would actually block the hole off, meaning none of the others could roll out.

A combination of sand, general goo, and what was believed to be glue was placed in between the obstacles, which included a beam raised up off the ground, and a bar which the housemates in their pairs had to make their way under.

The housemates have been chained together in pairs, for the duration of this weeks task.

Jay is Chained to Michelle via the wrists, whilst Dan and Nadia are shackled together via the ankles. Stuart and Shell are joined at the waist via similar shackles, much to the displeasure of Michelle who realised that it'd mean she'd have to have less contact with her Stuey during the next few days, and also that it ment he'd have to share a bed with Shell.

As a reward for completing the task, they'll be given a reward pass, plus an extra special personal reward pass, and a double shopping budget next week. Failure will mean they get none of that though.

The Jacquzzi and Baths are out of bounds for the duration of the challenge, and there are also waiting areas outside of the toilet and diary room, to allow the pairs to break off for a short time to perform the necessaries.

And it'd appear that the housemates might have already failed the task, less than 6 hours in to it, with rules such as lip gloss, food preperation and other specific minor rules being breached, probably all by mistake.

It's another Sunday in the house, which means very little is happening.

So move straight on to Monday, day 60 of 71, shall we?

Housemates have taken part in another Saturday Challenge, although this one was quite different from what has gone so far, not only because it lacked the "evil" edge that the others have had, but also involved people from outside of the house...

Each of the remaining six housemates were called in to the diary room, and had to identify the voice of the mystery celebrity that they were asking questions to, and can only get a "yes" or "no" answer in reply.

Dan was first up, and after using the full quota of 10 questions he correctly guessed Jim Bowen, meaning the housemates didn't lose £1,000 from the prize fund.

Shell also correctly Patrick Moore, and a very nervous and doubtful Nadia instantly got The Cheeky Girls.

However the dimwits in the house really messed up, with Jason failing to work out that the voice which was answering the yes/no questions was Paul Daniels - you'll like it, not a lot! Michelle failed to identify Chaz and Dave (possibly the hardest of the lot, although no excuse really), and "brainbox" Stuart failed to recognise Roland Rat, which is just a bloody disgrace!

He was none the wiser as to who Roland Rat was when he returned to the Sofa and saw him on the plasma screen either... HOW CAN THIS BE? ARE YOU A MORON STUART?

They lost a total of £3,000, which apparently went to charity as chosen by the celebs.

Victor is the latest housemate to have been evicted from the Big Brother house, after he received more votes from the public than either Dan, Jason or Nadia.

Both Jay and Vic received a large amount of boos from the crowd outside the house when Davina said the names of the housemates, but it was Victor who had clearly annoied the public the most, and no doubt his spat with Shell earlier in the week was the tipping point which saw him throw away any chance he had of remaining in the house.

An impressive 1.8million votes were cast during the week, with 47% voting for Victor, 40% for Jason, 7.2% for Nadia, and only 5% for Dan, who seems to be the clear favourite out of the bunch, and surely stands a better chance of winning this series than annoying Shell, nothingness-Stu, and always-singing nagging cow Michelle.

As with last week, the eviction interview took place in the studio again, instead of on the outside stage, which appears to have been scrapped after the constant noise which hampered the success of things a couple of weeks ago.

The Eye would have prefered to have seen Jason go, as atleast Victor was quite funny, and certainly more entertaining than Jason - there seems little doubt though that Jason's time will be up next Friday.

No more nominations - all 6 up for eviction
There will be no more nominations made by the housemates during the rest of this series, and all 6 are automatically up for the public vote. This will be the way housemates are evicted until the end of the 71 days when there will be just the one housemate left, walking away with whatever remains of the £100,000 prize fund.

The somewhat useless housemates have managed to fail yet another task, making this series about as bad for passing tasks as the previous one where Federico managed to blunder his way in to failing at almost every point possible.

It started off pretty well, with no fails at all on the Monday, but by Tuesday things had started to slip and the fail came in to play when Michelle and Nadia joined Shell on the pole dancing podium before she'd finished her solo performance.

And it was the last day of the task, the wedding day itself, which was the biggest failure, mainly because of the waring couple Shell and Victor, who were both responsible for two of the failures each...

* Victor's wedding vows were not recited word for word.
* Michelle's rendition of "Pie Jesu" was not accurate.
* Shell refused to join Victor for the first dance.
* Victor changed from his wedding outfit before the task was complete.
* Shell changed from her wedding outfit before the task was complete.

Because of this, they don't only miss out on a privilege pass (surely the bedsit must be a hidden reward room? it's not been used for weeks now, and seems too much of a room to only be used for the one week) and will also get no shopping list next week - enough to finally make a few of them crack, surely...

Shell and Victor's marriage took place today, in the pretend wedding ceremony as part of this week's task, and it hasn't taken them long to fall out, like a rowing old couple...

...Shell appears to have lost it, and is taking EVERYTHING out on Victor, blaming him for all manner of petty little things, which really are quite unbelievable. Apparently Victor's given her shorter answers to questions all day, and walked away quickly after they'd walked up the red carpet... HELLO!?

Victor's doing his over-acted facial expressions, as he's absoloutely flabbergasted by some of the crap that Shell is coming out with, and the entire "wedding" seems to have turned somewhat sour, with all of the housemates in a less than jovial mood.

The Eye has though for some time now that Shell appears to be cracking and like she's going to lose the plot, and it really would seem like these last few weeks could be enough to see her go round the twist and possibly rip peoples heads off - her oh-so-friendly fake personality suddenly seems to be revealing it's true nasty self.

Shell, as she always seems to manage, is trying to get the last word in on everything - that's something that housemates have told her they dislike already, and she always seems to have a snide comment to come back with, as if she's right and no one else is, or that she's more right than anyone else. It's bloody annoying, and she needs to wind her neck in.

ARGH I HATE SHELL SO MUCH RIGHT NOW (and have done since day 1)

Big Brother has thrown a Stag Party for the "lads", as part of this weeks Wedding task. Although, it was probably the most boring party in the world, ever.

They did get some music played in to the house, which saw Victor and Stuart get up and strut their stuff, whilst Dan sat there drinking out of a beer bottle, and Jay either strutted around looking like he was from another planet and not sure what was going on, or moped about in the corner looking like he wanted nothing to do with anything.

By the end of the party very little of the food supplied for the Stag Night appeared to have been eaten, and the table is still well loaded with biscuits, snacks and other bits and pieces. Even the "lads toys" like remote control cars and a small air-hockey table don't seem to have received much use, if any.

And the pole dancing podium thing in the garden seems to have been totally pointless too, as the male members of the house understandably aren't interested in using it, and other than Dan who was trying to show the girls how to climb up on to it to use it, no one else has actually managed to get up the pole to use it properly yet, with the girls all too un-fit to manage to lift their body more than a few degrees before falling back down.

So all in all a bit of a flop.

Four housemates have been nominated for eviction this week - they are, in alphabetical order, Dan, Jason, Nadia and Victor.

It's the first time that Jason has been up for eviction, and The Eye highly expects that it'll be him that gets the boot this week - either that or other Jungle Cat buddy Victor, who already knows he's not best liked by the public after hearing the boo's when his name was called out by Davina last week.

So who nominated who?
Daniel nominated Victor and Shell
Jason nominated Nadia and Dan
Michelle nominated Jason and Dan
Nadia nominated Jason and Victor
Shell nominated Jason and Victor
Stuart nominated Dan and Nadia
Victor nominated Dan and Nadia

(Dan 4, Jason 3, Nadia 3, Victor 3, Shell 1, Michelle 0, Stuart 0)

Michelle and Stuart seem to have patched things up and got back together after their argument yesterday, and have now constructed some sort of "love den" under the table in the living area.

Big Brother earlier remined them to wear their microphones at all times, as they had removed them to whisper to each other, and they've also been spotted under the table almost an hour ago by Victor, who asked them "what is you twos doin' eh?"

Michelle's reply was that they were looking for her lip gloss which she'd lost under the table - yeh right.

Quite amazingly she was still using this "reason" to tell Stu that it was ok to be under the table when it was just those two who were still awake at quarter to three this morning, as she re-arranged the camera-blocking items, which included bits of the egg shaped chairs and clothing.

And it wasn't long before they'd clearly removed their microphones (given away by the sound of the velcro on the straps being removed) and there was lots of fumbling noises which certainly sounded like clothes being removed...

...just the E4 "live feed" cut away to the garden camera, as usual.

The girls have held a pretend Hen Night tonight in the Big Brother house, as part of the wedding task, which saw the male members of the house be strippers dressed in police uniform.

Shell's Hen Night saw quite a bit of drunken high spirits flowing between the girls, with Shell quickly trying on a pair of fake breasts, which were provided as part of the Hen Night accessories alongside items such as a blowup sheep and handcuffs.

Whilst all of this was going on the boys were checking out their police uniform outfits that Big Brother had provided them, before they entered in to the main living area of the house to perform a strip, with gay Dan really going all out for it and leading the rest of them on a lap of the sofa.

Michelle continuing to blank Stuart after their earlier row, and at one point bizarrely licking Victors arm, although by the end of the evening Michelle once again seemed to be atleast communicating with Stu, looking longingly in to his eyes, and suprise suprise, calling him her Chicken.

This weeks Wedding task has caused Michelle and Stu to have a massive row, after Stuart refused to be Michelle's groom.

Michelle was ultra-keen to be the bride, but Stuart really wanted none of it, as he was worried what people outside the house might think, with Shell deciding to take the role of the bribe and Victor the groom...

The row seems to have been very one-sided, much like the tiff between the pair last week when Michelle was managing to boss Stuart around and call the shots with how things were panning out, firmly blaming Stuart for things not going as well as she wants.

Stuart walked in to the bedroom to try and patch things up with Michelle after the falling out, but was instantly up against a confrontational moody nagging Michelle, with her initially refusing to tell him why she was angry with him, and then her spouting her bile at Stu, whilst Stu spluttered out inchorent replies which really didn't help his cause much.

It seems that Michelle wanted them to be the pretend wedding couple, and that is that - no question about it, she wanted it to happen, and Stu didn't, so it's all Stu's fault and he's fully to blame for absoloutely everything, ever, at all. Stu's done it how he wanted, and that's that. End of story.

Moody bitch. She'll not get anywhere in life like that, and The Eye really thinks Stu needs to tell her to poke it...

Housemates have been given a Sumo Wrestling mat and two over-sized Sumo Wrestler outfits.

Nadia absoloutely flattened Dan when she took him on, although Stu and Jay seemed a fairer match, but very agressive and often going a long way off the mat after just one leap at each other.

Somehow Jay's combats managed to get ripped right down his leg, so no doubt he'll go around like a moody "c u next tuesday" for the rest of the day now.

This evening the housemates have faced a Fish Guts challenge, and lost a huge £15,000 from the prize fund, after not a single pairing managed to save anything.

Below are a selection of the best screengrabs from during the task, telling the story of events as they unfolded...

Several minutes after the challenge had finished Stuart decided he was going to climb up the steps which were part of the task, but he was quickly instructed by Big Brother to come back down immediately.

It's amazing how thick the housemates are this year.

The Saturday task is going to be a bit fishy, and there's going to be a sting in the tail too...

Housemates will be grouped in pairs of intellectual and physical, based on the selection of one housemate - the selector. That housemate will have to put their hand in a bowl of FISH GUTS and select the names out.

It sounds like one of the Big Brother USA challenges from last year where the housemates had fish guts land on them from above when their partner couldn't hold out on the physical aspect of the challenge any more, and is pretty SICK.

And it's certainly looking like it'll be evil, as Michelle is strongly vegetarian and when she walked in to the sofa area she was hit by the stench of the fish guts which were in the bowl on the table, but hadn't been spotted by the housemates until they'd sat down.

To make things worse she's saying she'd like to be the selector because that way she'll probably not have to take part in the actual challenge part, which they believe will involve the fish guts - it seems like it's just the selection process though which will involve it... Oops.

Michelle picked from the fish guts during the ads!
E4's "live feed" went to an ad just as they were about to say who the selector was, and by the time it got back from the ads it'd appear that all of the housemates had been selected out of the bowl.

Shell, Vic and Dan are on one side, with Jay, Nadia and Stu on the other, but again it's not clear who's doing what yet as the board with the details has not been shown on camera. Michelle doesn't seem to have "suffered" too much from the name picking though, and she's encouraging the other housemates to "try your best not to be sick, please please please!"

And on to the main part of the task...
After sitting on the bench in the garden for several minutes, pondering what Big Brother might have in store for them with the raise pit-like contraption, which bizarrely has steps that climb upwards as if they lead up over the wall and out of the garden - will contestants that manage to pass the challenge get to escape from the Big Brother house?!

Each "intellectual" member of the pair will be called to the diary room, and be asked to answer as many questions as possible in the time. The "physical" member will stand on the steps, facing outwards, and for every time a question is got wrong the steps will fold in and the housemate will fall straight in to the tank of fish guts - it'll continue like this until there is no time left. Pair 2 and 3 will do the same, and each time they risk loosing £5000.

Victor and Jason up first...
Jason has been called to the diary room to answer the questions, and Jay is making his way on to the steps. It looks bloody leathal - could this challenge see the first Big Brother death?!

Fortunately they held the action until after E4 got back from another ad break, before showing Victor climb steps twice, and then them collapsing when Jay got an answer wrong and Victor sliding down in to the pit of fish guts.

He just made it back on to the steps when the time finished, and he was again dumped in to the fish guts.

Shell and Stuart up next...
Stuart is answering the questions, and Shell is waiting on the bottom step, not at all looking happy with what she now knows is going to be coming up in the next couple of moments.

Just like Victor she managed to get up the steps a couple of times due to questions answered correctly, and ended up in the fish guts twice. However on both occasions Shell held the handrail as she started to fall - a breach of the rules, and also a risk of the health and safety as she stood a chance of injury from bending her arm back... and on her second fall her safety helmet came off - so a near death, maybe.

Nadia and Dan are the final pair...
Yet again E4's gone to ads, but returned in time to see the main action, with Dan standing up on the steps, meaning Nadia is being the intellectual one from the pair and trying to get Dan up to the £5000 step - something which neither of the previous pairs have managed so far!

Nadia seemed to do quite well, getting Dan up as far as Shell managed, but Dan too ended up in the fish guts, and in the end didn't have enough time to get any higher up than the starter step.

ARE THEY THICK?
They've been told to remain on the bench, yet Shell went to get a shower. And Jay was standing too. Big Brother made an announcement telling all housemates they must remain on the bench, yet Shell still didn't hurry back from the shower, and second later Stu said "i'm gonna go and get a shower" - ARE YOU THICK?! LISTEN TO THE BLOODY INSTRUCTIONS!

Pair 1 saved nothing.
Pair 2 saved nothing.
Pair 3 saved nothing.

They really failed that task in a big way. Housemates lost a huge £15,000 from the prize fund, although here comes the sting in the tail - Michelle, as the selector, is being called to the diary room.

In an attempt to save £5000 Stu was given some sort of milkshake style mix in a glass, which seems to have had fish guts in it. They decided not to bother though after realising how foul it was, and Shell chucked it in the fish guts tank. Remarkably though, housemates hadn't remained on the bench, with some going inside the bedroom/shower again, and Nadia even blatently ignoring Big Brother's instructions to sit on the bench, instead having a cigarette.

The prize fund now stands at £56,500 - although The Eye wouldn't be suprised if Big Brother takes further money off for the rule breaking.

Ahmed is the latest housemate to have been voted out of the house by the public, after receiving more votes than Dan, Michelle, Shell, Stu and Victor.

Reacting to the announcement Ahmed jumped up off of the sofa shouting "good!" and clearly pleased that he is finally leaving the house.

However Victor didn't seem quite as impressed with the boo's that he overheard on the speakers which were picked up on Davina's microphone whilst she was giving the names of the housemates who had been voted on this week.

The E4 "live feed" has shown Victor and Jay standing in the bedroom speaking with raised voices, saying how it's definitely those two who will be up next week, full of "fucking's" from Victor, and how he's going to have to make sure they take them down one at a time. Jay is clearly not pleased that Ahmed is going, and Victor's said "I. Did. Not. Want. That. Guy. To. Go. One. Bit" - their gameplan is seemingly in quite a bit of a spin, especially with Victor now knowing he's not at all popular with the public.

Ahmed exits the house
Housemates performed a final rousing rendition of AHMANIA before he walked through the exit door, and in to a crowd which gave him a mixture of cheers and boo's. He lapped up every moment of it, giving his trademark "aaaaaaaghh" noises and jestures back.

When he got up on the stage with Davina he did his "Daviiiiiiiiinaaaaaaaaaa!" shout that he'd promised the housemates he'd do, and also did lunges towards the crowd like some sort of weird bird of prey - that man sure is nutty...

Interview in the studio and not on the stage
In an interesting change from previous weeks, and probably due to the utter shambles that was last week's noisy eviction interviews, Davina is conducting Ahmed's interview in the Big Brother Little Brother studio, which is nearby to the house, and in a much more relaxed and quiet atmosphere.

However just like lasts week's eviction, it seemed to be full of mistakes by Davina, who really doesn't seem to be a patch on the presenter that she used to be, fluffing questions, and just going down dead-ends like they were going out of fashion.

It's Friday again, which means there's an eviction from the house tonight - possibly with a twist. As six housemates are up for the vote, they're all going around like headless zombies with the last few hours of their life to live... and doing sod all.

Stu's laying on his bed, talking in his normal incoherent babble of words, whilst cuddling Michelle who is by his side. Shell is laying on her bed, saying how she'd like it if Big Brother would just let them sleep for an hour or so. Dan's laying on his bed, Nadia's laying in her bed...

...you get the picture.

Sod all is going on. Absoloutely zilch. And it's been like it all day.

The alarm has gone off to wake them up a few times, but Victor laying on his bed has shouted "no body is a-sleep", whilst holding his microphone close to his mouth as if it's the only way Big Brother can hear comments from housemates.

Oh there was one bit of action - Dan took a shower, and was singing at the top of his voice, really belching out the words as they echoed around the small shower room - so loud was it that he could be heard on other housemates microphones, although with the stoney silence in the house currently, that's no real suprise.

Michelle's just yawned. Nadia's putting makeup on, and yawned too. Shell's still looking half-asleep whilst looking over the side of the top-bunk down to Michelle. And Stu's just gone "uh umm yeh" in reply to a question that Michelle asked him.

WHY WON'T BIG BROTHER GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO DO? SPICE IT UP A BIT!

Shell seems to be speaking in a silly childish high-pitched voice today. Not a "squeaky squeaky" joke voice, but just pronouncing words even more ridiculously than she normally does, and putting intonation on to some words where it's really not ment to be - daft bitch. Please let it be her that is evicted this evening.

Rumours of a £20k bribe...
There have however been rumours that Big Brother is going to call housemates in to the diary room, one at a time, until someone accepts a £20,000 bribe - taken from the prize fund, and put straight in to that housemates bank account.

Apparently the idea is to see how greedy the housemates are, and if in return for the bribe they'll prank the Saturday task. It's not too clear how it'll work, and what the punishment for the bribed housemate will be, if anything at all. Infact it might just be a rumour, but it's more entertaining than the lack of anything that is going on in the house at the moment.

The Eye will get back to you when the eviction show starts tonight at 9pm, with Ahmed and Victor both looking current favourites to leave...

Housemates were not holding back earlier on today when they were insistant on trying to find out Nadia's secret...

...but it wasn't the fact that she's formerly a bloke - nothing at all like that. They thought her secret was that she'd got a date from the previous nights Big Brother Dating Service mini-task, which Nadia kind of strung along as maybe being the secret, maybe not...

She wouldn't say though, and at one point childish Shell ran to the Diary Room door when she saw the camera near the door turn towards to Diary Room, highly expecting Big Brother to call "a housemate" to the Diary Room.

Shell was desperate for "a date" and clearly would have beaten anyone else back with a huge stick if anyone tried to steal her made up fictional date that wasn't even there at all... what dream cloud world does she live on?! Argh!

They called Dan. It wasn't anything to do with the secret (although he acted it up saying he'd been told something but couldn't say - before revealing he'd not been told anything at all and it was just so he could get the cushion for his neck-ache).

However eventually Nadia was called to the Diary room, at which point she walked from bedroom to Diary Room, with quite a swagger in her walk and said "I'm sorry guys" and told them to take care before saying "Bye!" - none of them believed Nadia was really going, although clearly they wern't sure...

...but a few moments later she returned out of the diary room with a laminate and a huge chocolate cake, which Big Brother had given the housemates as a reward for Nadia passing a task which Big Brother had set her.

She'd had to make all of the housemates laugh within an hour, to be "given a reward". She even managed to make Jay laugh - what an achievement.

The Eye wonders if Big Brother will set other housemate-specific tasks during the coming days and weeks, and will be watching closely to see what happens...

The housemates have been given another mini-task this afternoon, in the form of the Big Brother's Lonely Hearts dating service.

Each housemate will have an hour to prepare their message, before going in to the diary room and recording their message to the camera, and have to think up a name and age for their pretend person, along with a description of physical attributes, character traits, throw in a couple of "GSOH" style acronyms, and round it all off with a cheesy chat-up line...

If they complete the task (and it's not really clear how they can fail it) they'll be rewarded with a special treat, which is highly likely to include booze and food.

The privates passed their Boot Camp task, and have unwittingly put themselves up for eviction in the process...

Big Brigadier read out the results of the four-day task whilst the housemates sat on the sofa, with many of them hiding their faces as they looked down towards the ground - especially Michelle and Jay who clearly knew what would be coming at the end of it.

There were minor failures on each of the days, with mainly the Sergeants making gaffes, such as not eating at the table, although Victor didn't wear gloves when scrubbing the boots, and Ahmed stopped running before the second whistle, and they all counted as fails.

Unlike normal "3 failures and it's a fail" that previous tasks have had though, this more intense task allowed a total of 3 fails per day, and overall they managed to pass this with flying colours with every day completed sucessfully.

There are six housemates up for eviction...
Big Brigadier announced at the end of the task completion confirmation, that there would be six housemates up for eviction - Ahmed, Dan, Nadia, Stu, Shell and Victor. Generally they seemed to take it pretty well, although Shell seemed to be putting on a bit of a fake "it's ok" voice and attitude.

Ahmed made it quite clear he wasn't quite as impressed though, and stormed off out in to the garden. Odd, considering the week before he'd asked people that he wanted them to nominate him as he wanted to leave, and even has said that he's had enough... now he's up for eviction though he doesn't seem to be feeling the same way... strange man.

Michelle and Stu's soppy whirlwind romance seems to be a bit rocky tonight, although it's not the first time that the NAGGING BITCH has had a go at him over his lack of getting down to business and cementing their relationship.

She's been pacing around the garden with an arm locked in to his for ages now, round and round and round, much like she was earlier in the day. Just she's sounding very emotional, and has made comments about how she's "bored with it Stu, I've heard it all before" and that she feels Stu's let her down.

Coming across like some nagging old woman who Stu's been married to in an ultra-bitter marrigage which was never destined to work, Michelle's been putting all of the pressure on to him, in what is sounding very onesided and all "me me me" from her perspective.

Despite Stu saying how he's not confident (or happy) with having a relationship in the house with the gaze of the cameras, Michelle's still on at him, and went on a tirade about how he wasn't shy of kissing her when he did this, that and the other, and that he wasn't this that and the other on x y and z... what a bitch!

The Eye thinks the best thing Stu could do is tell Michelle that if she doesn't like it to lump it. But then, Stu's not very good at saying what he means, is he?

Attention troops. The task is coming to an end... sometime later today.

Ahmed attempts a coup... and fails
Early this morning Ahmed attempted to strip down Michelle's uniform in an exchange for his. There wasn't quite the Carry On capers going on that the description just there might have sounded of though, and it was more a war of words.

He tried to trick Michelle in to handing over her uniform so as he could take it back to the diary room, but she smelt a rat and refused to let him have it back, at which point he announced that there was going to be a military coup, and he would be promoted to sergeant, while Michelle would be a private - genius Ahmed, genius.

Ahmed claimed that it'd be for the benefit of the entire group, and that it'd help ensure that the privates passed the task - of course though in retrospect that'd have meant that Michelle would have been up for eviction if they do indeed pass, so it's no wonder she was having none of Ahmed's advances on her mock military positon.

Dirty Privates Washed in Public
Big Brigadier has given the housemates their final main task for the week - to iron, fold and pack 50 shirts in 1 hour 30 minutes. They must copy an example shirt which has been provided to them, which is perfectly ironed, folded and packed ready for use.

The Sergeants must also make sure that every Private irons at least one shirt each, so there's no slacking out of the chore doing the easy work elsewhere. However with only two irons, two ironing boards, 2 shirt boards it's going to get pretty frantic during the 90 minutes if they're all fighting over the same equipment.

Shell took on her typical mothery role, which has grown even stronger since mother-hen Vanessa left a few weeks ago, and declared her "love" for ironing. Ahmed and Victor however decided that their skills were best off with the buttoning of shirts...

Inspeccctchun!
Sergeants Jason and Michelle have told the Privates that they have 30 minutes to get up to scratch and be spick and span before Big Brigadier inspects them.

Each of the privates will be told to go through a series of Army moves, including "Attention", "At Ease", "Present Arms", "Slope Arms Left" - all of it counting towards their possibility of passing or failing the overall weekly task, and certainly more tricky than a meagre spelling test like last week.

However fag-hag Nadia wasn't impressed that she was lined up to go last, and was clearly under some sort of dillusion like she has been previously about the fact that her lack of cigarettes was causing her to go round the bend, and when the inspection was over she dashed off to Big Brother in the diary room to cry about her lack of cigarettes, saying that she's suffering from a nicotine withdrawal... riiight.

The Eye awaits the announcement as to if they've passed or failed, with great interest. Fall out!

It's a Sunday in the Big Brother house, and we all know what Sunday's mean...

...nothingness. Just sitting around, bored, with the shops closed. OK admittedly shops have been open on Sunday's during the past few years, but of course they don't have access to shops in the BB house, so for them it'll feel like a Sunday of 8 years ago. Cold, bleak, unrewarding, etc...

Anyway, not a lot has gone on really, and I've missed it - that's the real reason I'm spouting waffle here, as I don't actually know what happened. I missed most of Big Brother yesterday and last night...

So move straight on to Day 46, shall we?

Housemates were suprised earlier today when a soldier abseiled in to the garden, and provided them with details of this week's task - the house is being turned in to a boot camp. Atttttteeeenntion!

Two of the housemates will get to lead the pack as Sergeant, enjoying all the privellages that the role provides them, whilst the remaining six will carry out assignments as lowly privates.

Trouble is, if the privates fail their assignments, the Sergeants will be put up for eviction - just ofcourse, this fact isn't being made clear to the privates who think they're just taking part in a normal task which will be to the benefit of everyone, leading up to a reward pass at the end of the task on Monday.

Michelle and Jason have taken the role of Sergeants, and get to sleep in a secret Sergeants' Mess bedroom which is next to the main bedroom, whilst the poor little privates get to sleep under itchy blankets in their normal beds.

Big Brigadier will wake the housemates each morning with the sound of a bugle, at which point they have five minutes to get in to full uniform, and take part in their morning drill, have their beds ready for inspection, and breakfast made for the Sergeants.

Quick March! To the potato assignment!
First assignment was to wash and peel 500 dirty potatoes in the garden, which they appeared to do in record time and well under the two hours that had been given to them to complete the task.

Other assignments will include press-up's, scrubbing 600 army boots in 2 hours, and sentry duty where Privates will take it in shifts to be on guard in the garden all night between 10pm and 6am.

The Eye thinks this task might be quite demanding on the poor little souls...

Becki is the latest housemate to have been evicted from the Big Brother house, after receiving the most votes from the public, who clearly aren't big fans of her at all.

As Davina made the announcement to the housemates, a huge boo went up from the crowds outside - not in their disgust that Ahmed is staying, but because they really appear to HATE Becki.

Clearly the housemates heard the booing, and everyone's looking a little shocked, although Victor's trying to tell Becki that they might have been booing because she's been voted out instead of Ahmed... well yes they might have been, but they aren't.

Noisy crowd for Becki
As Becki left the house via the sliding front doors, she was barraged by boo's, from what remained a very noisy crowd throughout her interview, at at times making it hard to hear what both Davina and Becki were saying.

The interview also seemed a little flat and lacking in questions compared with some other housemates - possibly because of the fact she's been in there for less time, and because she entered as a stand-by housemate, and so couldn't talk about some of the same things as the other housemates.

Inside the house however the reaction from housemates was digsust at the boo's which Boooooski (as she'll surely become known now due to the amount of she got booooo'ed on her exit) received, with Victor shouting "we're getting masacred!"

Ahmed's also looking slightly miffed, but for different reasons - he was obviously really wanting this week to have been his last week in the house, after having told all the housemates that they should nominate him. He's now having to come to terms with the fact that he's there for yet another week, although if he really wants out that much why doesn't he walk, or break enough rules to be thrown out by Big Brother...

The Eye will get back to you with more from tonights eviction, later...

Housemates have turned militant today, in a style which even rebellious Kitten would probably be proud of. And it'd seem they've done this due to Big Brother failing them on their weekly task, which will result in no shopping list next week.

It kicked off when this morning they all sat around on the sofa's refusing to talk. They were just smiling, using a semi-form of made-up sign language, and trying not to laugh.

Eventually Victor went to the diary room as he wanted to speak with Big Brother to explain why they were protesting, but Big Brother had the last laugh with that idea as he was let in to the diary room and was given the cold shoulder, with Big Brother remaining silent and not responding to him.

Big Brother bans the bedroom and spa, and burn baby burn, disco inferno...
Moments later Big Brother called housemates to the sofa, and told them that until further notice the Spa and Bedroom would be out of bounds. Idea being to get the housemates all in close proximity to each other, where they'd be more likely to talk.

It didn't seem to have much effect though, and later in the day housemates were called back to the sofa once again, and told to switch on the plasma screen. They then witnessed Stu's much-loved cowboy hat being incinerated, as punishment for their silence.

Blatent theft!
The housemates wern't best pleased with Big Brother's actions though, so decided to make their way to the diary room, at which point Nadia, Michelle, Shell and Dan were let in. Moments later they exited, with the Diary Room camera in tow, but still attached by it's lead, which Michelle soon disconnected, and allowed them to take it out in to the garden.

Big Brother instructed the housemates to bring back the camera immediately, and then reminded housemates that destroying house fittings is rule-breaking, and that formal warnings will be handed out due to the actions of housemates.

AhMAD
Ahmania also struck again today, when Ahmed went a bit menal with a garden spade! He came inside the house whilst the baby-sound alarm was playing, and smashed the Maureen dummy around the head full pelt with the spade, causing the plaster of paris and chicken mesh built housemate to the floor, at which point he continued with several full-power throws of the spade overarm - causing some real damage to the mock housemate.

He also jumped up and down on Maureen, whilst housemates looked on in dis-belief... It all made the plate throwing a few weeks ago look fairly mundane!

The Eye will be watching closely at what else the housemates get up to during their protest against BB.

Housemates failed the "back to school" task earlier today, after three of them made mistakes in the spelling test, and the Man on the Moon team failed their historical re-enactment.

They also had to come to terms with the fact that failing the weekly task means they'll get no shopping list next week, resulting in them having to try and survive off of very minimal food supplies - they usually can't manage to make their huge shopping budget last a full week anyway, so it'll be interesting to see how long they can go before cracking.

However it's not all bad news for the housemates, as when Shell entered the diary room for her spelling test, which was being shown to the other housemates on the plasma screen, she was informed by Big Brother that she'd passed her degree with first class honours.

In recognition of this fact, and despite the abysmal failure of the school task, they've been awarded with a party, which has included quite a bit of booze and university graduation costumes.

And it didn't take long for the housemates to decide that they should take part in a student-style drinking game, with everyone rolling a dice and taking part in truth, dare or kiss...

...Shell soon got dared to go naked in to the garden and scream that she'd got a first, and had no hesitation in doing so. Stu and Dan got it on with each other in one dare, whilst Becki caused some aaaaahhhhhmania when she was dared to perform the same mock-sexual act on Ahmed!

Big Brother has also given them music, starting with a Wham hit, and working their way through a repository of classic school-disco style hits which has raised the mood in the house even further, but bought what seems to be a sudden end to their drunken tactics - for now, at least.

Big Brother has announced the housemates nominated for the public eviction vote this week are Ahmed and Becki, but the pair who were banned from nominating seem to have luck on their side by not being included in the eviction.

It was highly expected that new-girl Becki would be voted out by her housemates, as stand-by housemates never usually manage to survive longer than their first eviction week, and Ahmed had asked the housemates all to nominate him as he wants to go home.

However it's a bit suprising that the nomination-talkin' pair of Victor and Jay haven't received enough votes from their housemates too - especially Jay, who only just missed out on being up for the chop last week, and was the housemate that The Eye most wants to see evicted currently, simply because he's turned in to a moody self-obsessed prick that spends far too long pratting about pampering himself in front of the mirrors.

Dan has made his fear of moths quite clear since he's been in the Big Brother house, although he seems to slowly be getting over his phobia.

A huge moth has been spotted before, no doubt attracted to the garden by it's huge daylight bright floodlights that ring the garden, and tonight Dan was shocked to find a huge one fly right past him.

However where as he'd have run a mile before, he actually went close up to it, and helped direct Big Brother to point the camera at the plants at which it was hiding behind, and even moving the plants with a rake to allow Big Brother (and TV viewers) to get a "good view" of it.

Big Brother doesn't usually like to respond to housemates with the cameras, as they probably feel it's a way of Big Brother and the housemates communicating outside of the diary room - something which they usually shun, but it'd appear who ever was in control of the remote control cameras and camera shots tonight was finding the moth more exciting than the housemates...!

Eventually the moth decided that it'd make itself at home inside the house, and TV viewers were "treated" to a couple of minutes of camera angles showing various areas where they thought the moth had landed near to where the collapsable table is stored, and every grubby mark that Big Brother could see was zoomed in on just incase it was the moth... eventually they appeared to give up though and returned to the small group of housemates who hadn't gone to bed yet and were chatting on the sofa.

Housemates were suprised to hear the sound of a baby crying, at just before 10pm tonight, as Big Brother was trying to wake snoozing housemates.

It'd appear that Big Brother doesn't want them to go to sleep, even though it is nearly 10pm and now dark outside... It's believed to be the first time that Big Brother has sounded the alarm to wake them up after the mid-afternoon, and the poor souls are obviously shattered after their first day "back at school" as part of their task.

After the recent official warning for talking about Nominations, Big Brother has decided that enough is enough, and has banned both of the ringleaders from nominating this week.

Both Jason and Victor were called to the diary room as usual to make their nominations today, but were instead told that they wouldn't be able to nominate, and that it was their decision if they shared the news with their other housemates about being banned, and why they'd been banned.

As Jason exited from the diary room he told the group that it "was a waste of time" and he's been told that due to discussing nominations/voting with Victor, he may have influenced Victor's votes.

Victor looked like an embaressed little schoolboy as Jason told the group the news... but then, they are dressed in school uniforms for the task.

Seeing as three people had nominated before Jason broke the news (Ahmed, Becki and Dan), and there were four people left afterwards excluding Victor (Michelle, Nadia, Shell, and Stu) it will be interesting to see if their nominations are swung in favour of booting out Vic and Jay simply because of the pair talking about who they were going to vote for.

Being banned from nominating will certainly smack them both in the face when it comes to their gameplan, and is bound to be a bitter pill to swallow as they'll have had their plans absoloutely shattered - especially if one of them actually goes this week! Maybe the Harem's still strong, even after Marco was evicted last week.

Three up for eviction?
And yet again it'd appear that details of those up for eviction has been leaked again, with Digital Spy reporting that Virgin radio claim to have the news that Dan, Becki and Jason are going to face the public vote this week. Please if that's so, let it be Jason that goes.

Housemates have daubed graffiti over Big Brother property, although in a bizarre twist Big Brother actually asked them to do it - as part of a mini-task.

The design of the mural was totally up to the housemates, and was simply done to keep them entertained for a short while... surely Big Brother producers must have worried about the risk of housemates going mad though and spraying every surface they could find... just imagine if Kitten was still there!

Becki and Michelle in Victor pranking duo...
Clear rivals (both being bisexual wannabe singers with tans) Becki and Michelle appear to be ganging up on Slick Vic, after a pair of Michelle's shorts were found in Victor's under-bed draw.

The pair decided that it'd be funny to frame Victor by putting some of Shell's underwear in the draw, although none could be found and one of her tops was placed there instead, with the intention of performing a full search of the house once it was realised as missing.

Victor however spotted it early, and wondered how on earth it'd got there. Of course Becki and Michelle are now claiming he must be some kinda pervert, and haven't revealed the prank yet!

Dan doesn't want to win
And there was a bit of a shock for both housemates and viewers earlier, when Dan - one of the most likely to win housemates according to the bookies - announced to the group that he doesn't want to win, and will walk if it means he can avoid doing so.

He told Victor that if he makes the final week he'll simply walk, claiming "It's bad enough actually being on the bloody show, without winning it". Strange really, as Dan actually quite appears to have been enjoying himself during his time in the house and hasn't really raised this opinion before, so it could possibly be seen as a crafty decoy to play with Vic's gameplan.

Back to School for this weeks task...
Housemates are going "Back to School" for this weeks weekly task, which will run from Monday to Wednesday. They'll have five minutes to fully don their school uniforms and assemble by the benches in the garden each time the school bell goes off, and they'll be made to answer "here" when ever their name is called out by Sir Brother.

A "minimum regulation uniform" must be worn for the duration of the rest of the schoolday, and if they don't they'll suffer from "punishment". Housemates behaviour will also be stricly monitored and there will be a lesson each day of the week, starting with History on Monday.

Housemates have been told to prepare for their Saturday night task, with Dan voted as the spokesperson, and the rest of the housemates pairing up in to "farmer" and "cow" groups.

Ahmed, being difficult as usual, turned round and said that he was refusing to be the cow as he didn't want to be blindfolded again. Victor's also been commenting on how he's got white shoes on and how he won't mind a bit of mud but he won't want to be crawling about in manure...

...the rest of the housemates however assured him they'd not do that, or would it be an electric shock - although that totally contradicts what was rumoured last night when the task details were leaked to the press.

Michelle, Shell, Becki and Jason acting a farmers have been given traditional farmer-style clothing, with Stuart, Nadia, Victor and Ahmed all having got dressed as the "cow", with a big pink udder tied to their body. The housemates acting as cows are only allowed to wear their swimware and safety gear, and no other clothing - something which Nadia isn't impressed about as she's also put a red top on over her skimpy bikini top.

And there's still quite a bit of talk about the "shock" which the cows will receive, although so far it's not too clear quite if it'll be the farmers giving the cows the shocks to prod the cows in the right direction, or if there's an electric fence which will ring around the garden.

So to the task itself...
All of the cows were instructed to put their blindfolds on before the task started (although they'd got to spend a few minutes taking in the maze first), and first up was Farmer Michelle, and Cow Nadia. Michelle gave Nadia a quick prod with the cattle prod before she started to see how it felt, and Nadia screamed out - seems that it's quite a shock, although nothing "uncomfortable" as such... It's a wonder if enough electric shockery might cause Nadia to speak with a more manly voice... Nadia managed it through the course fine, with little fuss.

Pair two were Farmer Ahmed, and Cow Jason. Ahmed gave Jason several prods during the first few momens of the maze, and Jason said that it doesn't actually hurt at all. He did however get routed straight through the mud, which the housemates still aren't sure if it's manure - although "it's stinking" according to Jay.

Pair three were Farmer Shell and Cow Stuart - interestingly in a pre-start prod of the prong Stu shouted out an "oww" and said it did hurt. Shell however didn't seem to want to give Stu a good old prodding, and instead just let him blunder his way through the maze hitting in to the straw bales instead.

Fourth and final pairing is Farmer Becki and Cow Victor - and how silly does he look!? And it'd appear that Victor's also feeling the pain from the shock... although it wasn't anything like the utter disgust that he felt when Becki routed him through the shit. Superb!

The first of the non-live tasks...
The task used to be performed "live" on Channel 4 each Saturday night at 9pm, but from this weekend that's all changed and instead the task is taking place during Saturday evening, with it shown during E4's live coverage, and only shown to Channel 4 viewers during Sunday night's highlights program.

Unfortunately the live task just doesn't have the same effect when it's not after the 9pm watershed, and the excessive amount of sound-cutting due to the occasional swear word and iffy comment is meaning most of what's being said isn't heard, and it's making it hard to enjoy the task as the previous Live Shows used to allow viewers.

Marco is the second person to be voted out of the Big Brother house by the public, after Vanessa left last week, and the early forced evictions of both Kitten and Emma during the previous weeks.

The departure of Marco from the house will obviously be a major boost to both Victor and Jay, who have been seen to be trying to pick off the "noisey children" side of the house one-by-one as part of their gameplan - which itself has been clearly talked about "privately" amongst themselves but picked up by the cameras and microphones for the public to see.

It'll be interesting to see if the remaining two of this week's three are up for nomination again next week, and it seems highly likely, although presumably Becki, Jay and Victor all stand a chance of also being candidates.

What it does mean however is that we've got yet another week of Michelle being all soppy over her "chicken" Stuart, and no doubt if she is nominated again she'll react just as badly and walk around in a constant daze all week as if it's her last day in the house... Nadia's likely to keep the "loud" side to the house going, although with no Marco (who himself has been much quieter since receiving the news he'd been nominated) causing chaos with her, it's likely Nadia will also quieten down now, and could become highly boring.

Marco's departure will leave Ahmed, Dan, Becki, Jason, Michelle, Nadia, Shell, Stuart and Victor to fight it out for another week, at what has just turned the half-way point of the series...

Jay, Victor and Ahmed have all been called in to the diary room today, and been given a warning for talking about nominations - something which Victor only hours before had said he felt it was something Big Brother didn't give warnings for...

The three felt the wrath of Big Brother after numerous occasions where they've "spoken in code" about who they feel they should be nominating - although Vic and Jay have both openly spoken without any form of code being used, in a clear breach of the rules.

This is the third official warning that Victor has had now, and it'd appear that Jay may well have also received three warnings... the pair have already shown that their messed up gameplan has got to them and spent several hours littering their conversation with "fuck this fuck that fucking disgrace" style ranting prior to the big fight two weeks ago.

Jay's also threatened to walk from the house before, and this latest formal warning might be enough to tip him over the edge - we can only hope so, as he's been getting more moody and boring as the days have passed, and seems to be dragging the mood down in the house.

It'd be an interesting twist if Big Brother put both Jay and Victor up for the public vote this week, but it'd seem it's far too late to allow this now with less than 24 hours left until we get to find out who from Michelle, Nadia and Marco are evicted from the house.
