CBB UK Summer 2018 - Episode 5 - Back to the past in a good way

Greetings, citizens of Big Brother world, as we move into another episode from the Jolly old UK's version of Celebrity Big Brother

The shopping task is well underway as the Border Control, aka the housemates, try to prevent intruders getting over the wall they built in the last episode and swiping a green card. Expect many more intruders in this one, and find out if they can get to the promised land of a luxury shopping budget. All this and more incoming in this episode, stay tuned....

9.35am

Lights on for the new day, and Natalie is already running her mouth to Hardeep about his snoring. What is her problem with him? He's done absolutely nothing to her. Meanwhile Kirstie is telling Sally about her 16 lemurs, and their unusual habits and how one of them sleeps in the shower. Marcus tells about the BB rule about housemates still sleeping when the lights go on. Natalie is picking at him, no surprise there, and then she goes off to b**ch to other people about him.

11.56am

The shopping task resumes and it's Ben and Roxanne on duty first as per the rules. Jermaine tells Hardeep about a match against Maccabi Haifa. Chloe and Gabby are talking about Natalie, and how she goes about her conversation with Hardeep. Yes, girls she has got a problem with him, but it is in no way, shape or form the B word as some of the people complaining are claiming.

Back to the shopping task, and Vladimir Putin makes his way in but he quickly collared by Roxanne and Ben. Fails stay at 3.

12.26pm

Hardeep is treating Dan to a massage, to which Dan is enjoying. Rodrigo and Nick are next to patrol, and it's Kim Jong Un next in and he is swiftly rounded up. Still 3 fails.

12.59pm

Rodrigo and Nick are still patrolling, but this time Rodrigo spots Dan exercising and takes his eye off the ball regarding the task. Kirstie says method actors are not great to work with, Tom Hanks's name pops up along with Al Pacino. Courtney Love, Elton John and Prince Charles also get a name drop. Meanwhile Roxanne says how she once met the Spice Girls, but only 2 of them.

Charles and Camilla get over the wall and grab the green card, and the housemates yell for them to get out. Shouldn't have taken your eye off the wall, Rodrigo. Another fail for the task, taking them up to 4 fails

2.13pm

Chloe and Jermaine are in the hot tub, where you can plainly see Jermaine eyeing her up. Eyes front, Jermaine. Kirstie is telling Ryan about her signature dishes, some of which include sausage, gravy and biscuits....All together as one meal. Ryan seems bemused by this as he tells her biscuits go in tea not gravy. Dan asks Natalie and Gabby who is playing up most to the camera. Hint, Dan, she's sitting right in front of you. Dan thinks Roxanne is playing up the most, yes I suppose but the biggest player is right under your nose, pal.

2.47pm

Big Brother announces the shopping task is over and is reading them the results. First of all, the wall itself had to be built within 2 hours, and they managed a time of 1h 15m, so that's a pass. Secondly they had to construct the wall correctly, but they didn't so 1 fail. Finally they had to stop the invaders grabbing the green cards, they failed to stop 3 invaders, taking their fails up to 4. The pre-determined number of fails has been sealed in an envelope, and it is revealed to be 3 fails

As they had 4 fails, they have failed this week's shopping task and will receive a basic shopping budget. Now the wait begins to see if BB keep them on basic budget, or if someone will get a nice easy task to make sure they a party and takeaway.

5.05pm

Gabby has got a bit of soreness in her shoulder, and Super-Dan is right there to offer her a massage. She tells him no thanks in no uncertain terms, yes get away from her Dan. Have you forgotten you have a wife and kids on the outside, that you should be thinking about.

Sally the charlatan has another 'vision', this time she saw a dog. There are plenty of dog ornaments in the house. Nick is telling some housemates about his travels from Malaysia to Brunei, and tells them his face is on every one of the TV's in the departure lounge as at this time he was a wanted man, and then when he got to his destination, newspapers circulated with his picture on them.

5.39pm

Still in the garden, Gabby and Natalie are doing some sort of synchronised exercises, and then Jermaine tries to show off using a nearby pole. 

In the Diary Room, Dan talks about how Gabby is a girl of few words, because she knows him. He admits they are not on friendly terms. He talks about her like he fancies her, still totally oblivious that he has a wife and children on the outside. Jacqueline apparently is not watching the show, but if she was I suspect the divorce papers would be winging their way to the house as we speak. I really hope BB doesn't try and force Dan and Gabby together and respect Jacqueline's feelings.

Natalie once again is picking at Hardeep, this time about his cooking. Why don't you do your own cooking then, there may be a vacancy coming up soon if he is evicted. Let's see you rustle something up like he does once he is not there.

7.28pm

A familiar voice for Big Brother, as in Trevor Boris from BB Canada who does a great job as Marsha the Moose over there. £2.50 per person, as the often amusing debate about the shopping list begins as Dan brings out the blackboard.

9.28pm

Dan is saying to Jermaine about how sassy Natalie is towards Hardeep. In the bedroom, Hardeep is telling Natalie how they are all in this together, he states he is not interested in winning. She asks him what his motivation is for cooking every single day. Perhaps it's something for him to do, instead of talking about people behind their backs like you do. They both agree they are not on the same side.

And straight away she's talking about him when she leaves the bedroom, saying he doesn't like her at all. Think the facts are mixed up, Natalie.

Back to Sally and her visions, as she tries to give Chloe a reading which causes Chloe to eventually break down in tears. Google is a wonderful thing isn't it Sally. Chloe talks about her kidnapping in Milan, which obviously affected her very deeply. Please don't exploit this, Sally, she has suffered enough.

In the Diary Room, Hardeep thinks Sally is an amazing show-woman, but thinks it may be true, but then again may be false.

12.12am

Hardeep tries to get to know Chloe. Some conversation follows about Hardeep and his intentions. Jury's out on that for me

2.22am

Hardeep is laying on the sofa in the garden, and it's pointed out that housemates are not allowed to sleep in the garden. Meanwhile in the Presidential suite, Ryan is talking in his sleep. In the bedroom, who is that snoring. Oh it's Natalie. Pot meet kettle.

And that's a wrap for another episode

To be continued in Episode 6

Final thoughts

What else is there to say apart, welcome back old school BB. Chalkboard, shopping list, failed shopping task, basic meaning basic rations so far, and also for BB Canada fans Trevor Boris as the voice of Big Brother. Wouldn't have it any other way, and a very decent episode. Thank you BB, keep up the good work

Gets even better, in a small spoiler apparently housemates will be locked in one room with each other when they do their nominations in episode 6. Love it.

Thank you for reading if you have made it this far, and keep those RT, shares and likes coming as they are very much appreciated
