Week 3 ramblings

When last time we left our current housemates, Cameron B's ongoing audition for Baywatch and Love Island ended when he was shown the door. 

To be frank, it was basically lose lose whoever went last time:

  • Richard - Biggest loss, 'nuff said
  • Elsa - If she had gone then, Cameron B and Nancy's brief dalliance would have taken centre stage and shoved down our throats

As it stands, the original showmance continues for now, lucky us eh?....

Anyway onto more recent matters with the weekly round up...

We pick up with the usual Saturday stirring task, where it was Caroline, or 56 going on 21 as I like to call her, bankrupting Richard and feeling very smug about it. She never leaves that guy alone, she's such a try hard with her silly outfits and hats like she's off to a hen party in a nightclub. What I really want to see is BB challenge her to hand over some of those hats and she can get them back in some sort of secret challenge, and if she fails the challenge the hats get burnt, remember Chicken Stu from BB5 and when BB burnt his hat to a crisp because of the silent protest? Something like that, but the hats will be facsimilies of course.

Now, of course the housemates won varying amounts of eyes, but during this task Nancy and Sam were called out by BB for talking in code and were made to stand up and explain themselves, when they explained let's just say it didn't go down well with Jenny, and boy did she go on and on like Ariston, even the live feed wasn't safe. But it's ok for her and whoever she has in her little gang to talk about everyone behind their backs, well yeah she's the show favourite right now and gets a free pass.... But all that can change at anytime, just wait.....

As a punishment, Nancy and Sam had their eyes taken away and along with Richard were now bankrupt

On to the weekly mini mart nonsense, and there's an immunity card for the highest bidder, and the usual face to face nominations card, and plenty of other goodies. Why do they bother with the shopping task then, if they are handing out these treats every week anyway. Just call it simply a task and have done with it? While we're at it, what's coming in the next few weeks, pass to the final perhaps? Wouldn't put it past them for that to appear with one or two weeks to go....

Anyway it was:

Caroline - Immunity for 2 weeks
Marcus - Meal for two (Wonder who he'll choose for that), and chose Tate for face to face nominations
Elsa - Cuddly toy
Tate - Go directly to jail card, and he chose Marcus

Someone else bought the music playlist as it was Nancy's birthday, so IIRC their first party of the series

Then, lucky us, Elsa and Marcus had their meal on opposite sides of the bars, and get this Elsa has to get someone to cut her food at home, and Marcus had to do it. Meanwhile the music blared from the house, and even Richard was joining it. Good egg that guy, I just don't understand why Caroline has it in for him

On to nominations, and as expected, a sort of sheep mentality this week with quite a few of them nominating Nancy and Sam for the previously mentioned code talking, and indeed it ended up with Nancy and Sam on the chopping block.... 

The moment it was announced in the house, you could not keep that smile off Jenny's face and shortly afterwards she was gloating in the Diary Room doing a little air guitar. What's that old saying, pride comes before a fall? Her face is going to be a picture when Nancy or Sam come back from the secret room, and from the official sources it's not going to be long. So enjoy it while you can, Jenny....

Would also like to point out about Tate's face to face nominations, and one of them for Teja being rejected because it was apparently invalid. But they were happy to accept Sam's reason last week for Marcus 'being hot'? Get real, BB, and stop making the rules up as you go along. 

Anyway, later in that episode, yet more political talk with 56 going on 21losing her big pile of poo with Teja, and she has the temerity to go whining to BB about being outsmarted by an 18 year old. Can't wait for her to be gone, she's like the second coming of you know who from series 8.

Less said about the task to win the irrelevant budget the better, yet another one that only lasted a few hours. What? Oh well if we must....

BB General Hospital, rules clear as mud as usual. They had to reach a certain rating, in other words, a fixed result in an envelope which BB could change at any time according to the storylines. Another task where most of them just sit on their arses and do bugger all, where are those days gone where EVERYONE has to contribute and not just a small few, and also *yawn* there was more stirring. For the days when they could laugh at themselves and have fun without constant division and stirring from BB

To cut a long story short they passed their first task of this series, and a budget of £1,000 was given. You know who tried to take over the shopping list in the guise of her trying to fit in. Problem is with this immunity, she knows she can do what she wants until this immunity is up and that's the frustrating thing. She already has Richard living rent free in her head, and it's eating her up that she can't get him to really bite. Is she really angling to get nominations all over the board once her immunity

On a side note, whoever told Elsa she could sing, your card is marked whoever it turns out to be, and you will be ousted along with her if there is another chance of getting rid of her and it's a double 😉

And now we come to the night where two unwanted presences went back in, one wants a showmance with Tate and the other is just so fame hungry. Get this, eligible to win when they go back, seriously why? Can't they just be guests, they've had their crack at this show and blew it? Don't take us back to that flop series, Timebomb, and make the current lot extras in their own series.

Not so warm welcome back to Emily and Farida, probably armed to the teeth with outside information about how the not rights in the main house are being perceived out here. How long before they start blabbing said info? Probably 5 minutes after they have gone back into the main house, and BB will probably do nothing or dish out one of the more puerile punishments at their disposal

Sam was the lucky person to go to the secret house, but jeez that crowd was dead all evening. They couldn't even muster up a loud woop woop, ok they had to be quiet for Emily and Farida being put in there, but not even a whisper for Sam going to the secret house. Was secretly wishing someone from the crowd would have gone rogue and shouted 'Get Emily out'

Both returnees immune for the coming week, while Sam could be in trouble again as he is not immune, and will probably be up again when he's back in the main house.

That's about it to be honest, sorry to be a negative nelly but this series is a tad bit frustrating. I know the tag line is 'the game is changing', but BB never know when to stop causing division and let things develop organically, or what the word spoiler means as they actually spoiled Emily and Ferida's return mere hours before they went back in, granted the complaining would not have been any different, but it did seem predictable it would be those two. Think back to launch night and THAT twist that got rid of Emily the first time..... what did most say? Exactly, she was all but certain to go back in at some point and be eligible to win.

A loooooong week 4 ahead, and the secret people will be back in there by the time this is published

Again apologies for being a negative nelly, hopefully things will get a little better but we know the drill as in stirring, stirring, with a little more stirring thrown for good measure

'nuff said, and keep on rocking. Until next time.
