Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 40 - Recap within a recap

Exactly what the title says, folks. Probably going to be a bit of a short post today

Tonight sees the final 6 act out a recap of what has gone before in the house, as we are reminded of the likes of Lewis G the Bellend, Anamememelia, and so on and so forth.

Let's get straight down to business, as Cian is increasingly desperate for a storyline before he leaves as he dredges up what went on before with Cameron, while Akeem is teaching Welsh to Cameron.

It's not until late afternoon we reach the recap and from the off Sian basically admits we knew all along in that she has done nothing in there that count as memories. Won one Veto and being highest bidder for the letters from home is about the limit to what she has done of note.

Anyways back to the task at hand, and when it comes to show time Big Brother play the theme tune and Marcus talks to the house

Memories include:

• Anamememelia bringing out her alter ego Tulia
• Akeem and Cian escaping from the BB prison, and Cian hiding behind the couch
• Lewis G mixing the mince and salad, and then his kickoff when said meal had to be binned
• Kenaley kicking off at Isaac in the China task

Guess that's it, but obviously they will pass with it being the final full week. 

Discussion has now turned to what first impressions they had of each other when they first went in, and Sian has got money on her mind and tells us what she would spend the money if she won. Laugh a minute this girl isn't she. Done barely anything, yet there is a danger she will win.

The reward for their hard work is.....brace yourselves, refreshments. Not a party, takeaway, just mere refreshments. Is that it, really?

Zoe back to being her usual happy self, just give her her wish on Friday and vote her out. She could quit as well, she knows where the door is. What a fun sponge she is, just go, and let everyone enjoy their time in there. A short while later, she is still being miserable with Cian and Cameron. You know what you have to do for Friday, voters.

Akeem has sussed out somethings afoot as he correctly predicts another eviction and something happening for Halloween. He is then with Cameron as they argue about who has argued most in the house, it was revealed on BOTS that it was Cameron who has argued the most. I know, riveting stuff isn't it in this episode.

Next up Cameron and Cian plot about hiding the food, and that always ends well doesn't it. We see the plotting as Cian asks Akeem when he's going to bed. Usual going to bed early in the final week, nothing really new. 

Moving onto bedtime, and the food stealing is underway with a mass of giggling from Cian and Cameron, however Akeem is suspicious and waits for them to leave the bedroom. Nothing to see according to Akeem as he heads back to bed.

And that's it really....To be continued in the Halloween episode, Episode 41

Final thoughts

Not much to say about that episode really, as it was pretty much like the Season review episode from USA. Zoe does need to go on Friday, and every time she pipes up the closer she gets to the exit door this Friday. Cheer up woman, and enjoy what's left which isn't too long now

Thanks for reading this shortened episode, and admittedly this episode was a struggle as not much of note really happened. Please keep the likes, RT's, shares and comments coming in.

Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 39 - Cooking with Cameron

Good day, Big Brother chums, as we head into the final full week of Big Brother on Five

In case you missed it, Cameron was in mourning for Lewis and Tomasz as they were removed and evicted respectively and Sian was the highest bidder for 3 letters from home and she chose Zoe and Cameron after a major bout of guilt tripping from Zoe.

Tonight sees Cameron learn some cooking and games a plenty as we see Hide and Seek and Egg and Spoon played in the house. Well they have to have some fun in there, and it makes a nice change from the usual misery that happens in the final week.

So without further ado, let's get this final full week started and let the post Lewis and Tomasz time in the house begin, and no eggshells to be seen anywhere and a breath of fresh air at long last.....

Cian notices there's no NOMINATIONS flashing on the screen in the bedroom, while the invisible woman known as Sian talks about the letters from home. Akeem says he wants to be in the final, use caution Akeem as desperation doesn't come across too well with some people.

Brooke starts her episode long rant about not getting her letter from home. She does know she will get her letter before she goes doesn't she, or has she not watched this show before. A further thought, she had more than enough money to bid, so why didn't she if she is so desperate for her letter.

Time for a game of Hide and Seek, with the invisible woman doing the seeking while everyone else goes and hides. Akeem, Zoe and Brooke all pile into the Diary Room, and Big Brother reminds them to be more discreet. We are then treated to several shots of the invisible woman looking around for everyone, and then she makes her way to the Diary Room door and everyone else is sitting in that little passageway. More shots now, and this time the hiders are scrambling around the house looking for other places to hide.

Even Big Brother is getting in the act, which is nice to see, as in previous years on this channel they would be stamping on this fun and giving them something to do which would make them totally miserable.

Cian looking for one last storyline before the end, and it's back to Cameron. He claims Cameron is a ray of sunshine, when he has been anything but. Case in point in the bathroom where Cameron is being his usual happy self. 

Akeem is having an egg and spoon race....wit himself, and manages to drop the egg on the floor. Cameron is still sulking by himself by the way. Oh isn't he a jolly soul, and this guy is the favourite to win now. Oh happy days

Big Brother summons everyone to the dining area for today's task, in which ray of sunshine Cameron (who else?) has been selected to be the cook. Meanwhile, Cian is feeling the heat literally as he has shaved a very sensitive area which is causing him irritation, and Big Brother says they will get back to him with some Aloe Vera.

Cameron now in the Diary Room as Big Brother assists him with some cooking tips as he continues to prepare the Sunday Roast and cheesecake. Why not just give this guy the cheque now and have done with it. Back to Cameron and his cooking and it's all systems go as he puts the final touches to the roast, amid much panic and whining. Compliments all round for him once the roast is finally consumed by everyone.

Some vagina talk which will be swiftly skipped over.....

Cian's pictures from his auction won camera have been developed and he shows them off to the other housemates. Riveting stuff I know.

Back to Brooke whining about not getting her letter from home, just give her her letter Big Brother and give all our ears a rest. Big Brother summons Brooke to the Diary Room, and god help the person on duty. Brooke now saying she wants to leave all because she didn't get her letter. You know where the door is. Cue her getting her letter before she goes, whenever she goes.

Zoe now throwing her penny's worth in about Brooke, saying she is gutted for Brooke. Like hell she is, as Zoe would be piping up big time if she herself didn't get hers. Maybe Brooke should have guilt tripped Sian as well.

Brooke STILL going on and on like Ariston about her letter, shut the hell up about that dam letter. If you've seen this show before, Brooke, you know you WILL get your letter.

Cian and Cameron plan some mischief, anything to stay relevant isn't it Cian.

And that's it for another episode, to be continued in Episode 40 where we will get the Big Brother Soap Opera. More on that in the next post.

Final thoughts

Just give Cameron the cheque now, he's got this wrapped up barring a major miracle in these last few episodes. Nice to see a fun episode for a change and in the final full week as well when Big Brother is usually making them all sorts of miserable, and they even joined in the fun which I hope continues all the way through to the end. PLEASE do not send any ex housemates with a grudge back in, and definitely no stirring to make them miserable before they leave.

Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 38 - Tears of a Cameron

Good day, Big Brother chums, as we move into the final straight of Big Brother UK in the Five era

In case you missed it, Lewis has been removed for 'unacceptable language' and Tomasz has been evicted. This episode sees the fall out from both events as the Cameron to Win campaign kicks off in earnest, not from me but that is the general feeling of this episode. The old pity me pity me routine and all that.

A lot of speculation of what the final 6 may have in store, all in all just hoping they can be allowed to enjoy themselves this week, and that they do not get the usual miserable final week as in ex housemates with a grudge sent back in or the who said this about who stirring.

Anyways, back to this episode and it's lights on and the last day in there for either Tomasz, Akeem or Cian.....

Picking up the action with some speculation from Statler and Waldorf, aka Cameron and Lewis, about whether the incoming eviction will be a double. No worry about that, Whiners R Us.

In the Diary Room Tomasz discusses the eviction and thinks he has no chance against Akeem and Cian, and the Cameron journey storyline continues in the kitchen. Can you smell what Cameron is cooking, it's sausages. He's cooking sausages for the very first time, ahoom ahoom.

Finally it's bye bye Mr Miserable, aka Lewis. Big Brother run through the usual spiel before sending him on his way through the door of shame. We didn't actually see what he said, so there will most likely be theories and questions for months to come to what he said. Back to the house, and Cameron starts sobbing like Lewis has been led out to a firing squad. He is really laying these tears on thick, someone PLEASE tell him Lewis is not dead.

Tomasz says he doesn't want to leave and leave Cameron behind, but Akeem says he will look after Cameron. Meanwhile the man of the moment STILL acting like Lewis has died. He's just left the house, Cameron, what part of you will see him in a few days do you not understand.

Anyways, time for the eviction, and little does Cameron know his day is going to get even worse....And it's bye bye Tomasz, just as pleasurable as when it happened live. So then there were six, and Cameron's mourning continues. Why don't they just put a neon sign over his head saying something like 'Here is your winner'. Anyone but him to win, heck I would even take the invisible woman over him, and she's done NOTHING apart from winning one Veto.

Cian understandably very happy, well anything's better than him going as red a beetroot and crying at the drop of a hat. Marcus comments that most of the housemates are missing Tomasz, when most of us out here are really not. Will not miss those filthy comments one bit.

Cameron, give it a rest with the mourning please, you are getting boring now.

It's a new day now, and the post Lewis/Tomasz eras are officially underway. No eggshells to be seen as in not worrying about upsetting Lewis. Cameron still in mourning for his lost comrades, and Big Brother giving him all the love and care. This guy is cruising to victory, no two ways about it.

Today's task

They each have to select a coin card from the Diary Room, but not reveal them to the others for reasons which will become clear in a moment.

Zoe - 800

Cameron - 200

Cian - 1,000

Brooke - 400

Akeem - 100

Sian - 0

Stick or Twist....Each housemate will have the chance to swap cards with each other over a number of rounds. Stick and they get to keep their cards, while Twist means they can swap. Bluffing is allowed.

All change at the top once it's all done, however the final auction is going to tax them a bit as we shall soon see, as the main prize is 3 letters from home. Although that does seem a bit pointless, as fans of the show will know that everyone will get their letters anyway if they are still in there before the finale.

After much sticking and twisting:

Zoe - 0 coins

Cameron - 400

Brooke - 1,000

Akeem - 100

Sian - 800

Cian - 200

Zoe being her usual happy self in the Diary Room, before everyone is summoned one at a time to find out their coin totals

Akeem - 112

Brooke - 1,732

Cameron - 1, 623

Cian - 996

Sian - 1,680

Zoe - 1,047

Big Brother auction

First item up for grabs is a camera and 20 photos to take with it, won by Cian for 20 coins. Ultimate souvenir as in house furniture to take home after the show, which is won by Zoe for 30 coins, and now time to get the violins out for Letters from Home. Zoe starting to guilt trip people to bid for the letters. She does know she has a button herself she can use if she wants her letter so bad. Sian eventually emerges as the successful bidder, and she has to pick 2 others to get their letters. Zoe needs to shut the hell up, as she is ramping up the guilt tripping Sian just so she can have her letter.

To perhaps no great shock, Sian has chosen Zoe and Cameron to receive their letters, while Akeem, Brooke and Cian will definitely get theirs at a later date.

They'll be seeing these letter writers in a week or sooner anyway, so the letters are pretty much pointless in any event. Not to sound totally heartless of course, far from it.

Brooke is crying her eyes out for some reason, if she has seen this show before surely she must know she or someone else will get an easy task to get the remaining letters.

And to close the show, Cian is given his camera and a few snaps are taken before end credits roll....

To be continued in Episode 39, and a reminder no more nominations or Veto's for this series and there will be a double eviction just before the finale

Final thoughts

Into the final full week we go, and it is looking very much like Cameron is all but over the line unless he manages to screw things up royally before the double eviction or finale night. Tears over Lewis and Tomasz has helped seal the deal, and there we have the pity me pity me sympathy vote. Ideally it should be Akeem's crown, as he has had so many piles of poo to deal with in there from them all, but at least Tomasz went out before him so we were spared Tomasz being all kinds of smug if Akeem had gone instead. Akeem's my winner, but with Lewis gone I sense some of his supporters will be keeping their fingers on the dial to get Cameron over the line.

Anyways, thank you for reading this post, and for this final week keep those RT's, likes, shares and comments incoming as we head down the final straight for this series and indeed the Five era

Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 37 - Two for the price of one

Good day and whoop whoop, citizens, as we head into another eviction

Emma starts the show by informing us that Lewis has been removed for 'unacceptable language', and a clip is shown of Big Brother giving him his red card from the house. To be honest he was asking for this as he had no care for the rules and wasn't happy unless he was upsetting someone, and finally Big Brother were finally happy to oblige. Now the others can enjoy what time they have left in there without treading on any egg shells around him, so he won't kick off.

Back to the show, and we pick up the action as the highly confusing prison task resumes. Why it wasn't scrapped after yesterday's disaster is a mystery, but there you go.

Zoe is being her usual happy self, trying to pick Lewis's mantle by any chance? She is so going out first on finale night. Meanwhile, in the cell block bent screw Cameron has obviously turned a blind eye to open talking about Dave and the secret panel.

Brooke talks about Zoe's mood to Big Brother. Why doesn't Zoe walk then, she knows where the door is.

Inmate Akeem is getting interrogated by the screws about the mess created in the office, he reveals nothing. Good on Akeem, he is well aware of the no lagging rule. However all the inmates are punished anyway by sorting out different coloured pebbles. Answers on a postcard please.

Zoe is still sulking, no surprise there. Just go then or get on with the dam task. She is then summoned to the Diary Room. Cheer up Zoe, you have been given an opportunity most people will never get in being in that house.

Next assigment from Dave is to help him escape by gathering a few items, while Big Brother have told the screws they must pick two inmates for some manual labour. Taking the honours for the manual labour will be TOMASZ and AKEEM, as suggested by Cameron.

Needless to say, Dave's task is easily passed by the inmates, but this task has gone so far down the tubes it is hard to know what constitutes a pass and fail now.

As previewed yesterday, more outside contact for Akeem, but it's not what people think and Big Brother, well done you played a blinder on most of us there as I suspect a large amount of people were getting ready to unload a can of whoop ass there if that had been a human visitor. Yes, it was a dog that visited, and they can't exactly blab about the outside can they. I would have been as emotional as Akeem if they had sent my new arrival Lenny in.

And so we move onto the result announcement for the task, and as predicted by my good self Big Brother did find said loophole and they have passed the task. Seemed inevitable really, as end of series tasks are usually unfailable. Luxury budget ahoy....

Back to normal routine, Brooke is explaining to Zoe about watching on the secret CCTV/Live Feed. She says she's 'over it now', but I reckon she would have been screaming the house down if the shopping task had been failed. Shortly after Brooke says she hasn't washed her hair for ages.

Power of Knowledge strikes again, as Big Brother give Akeem the task of organising Cameron and Cian's birthday parties. What happened to earning parties these days, as they are given away like chicken feed these days. Anyways Akeem is successful in his mission, and it's double celebrations all round.

Eviction

In case you missed it it will be either Tomasz, Akeem or Cian to be leaving, but as we will soon find out this is NOT the last eviction. More on that in a bit. Back to this eviction, and according to Emma it was a close one and getting their marching orders this time will be TOMASZ.

Will skip over the interview, and straight to this important announcement that there will be another Double Eviction before the finale the following Monday and it's Vote to Win as of now. Basically the lines will be freezing and the two housemates with the lowest number of votes will be making their exit, and then 3 more days of Big Brother on Five

Final thoughts

Literally two for the price of one, no more eggshells to be walked on as far as Lewis goes and Tomasz didn't really do anything apart from filthy comments, sitting in on bitching and vapeing on the bench outside. Certainly won't be missed, and now's the time for the more invisible housemates to put a marker down so they won't be evicted on the final Friday.

Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 36 - Prisoner Cell Block BB

Never before had the word inmate been more appropriate than for tonight's episode as the house has been turned into a prison

Taking the roles of the screws will be Zoe, Cameron and the invisible screw known as Sian

All the rest of them will be the lags going behind bars...To pass the task, there must be no swearing, addressing the screws as boss and being on their best behaviour at all times, but there will be a twist as we shall shortly find out. Good luck with the no swearing part with this lot I say.

Now the inmates are behind bars, so to speak, the screws are summoned by The Guv'nor to the office to receive their instructions.

The screws instructions are as follows:

As well as deciding when the inmates have yard time, as in rec time in the garden, the screws must decide on appropriate punishments when rules are broken. One of the suggestions is to get Tomasz running around.

Back to the inmates, and they have a surprise guest or should that be voice in fellow inmate Dirty Dave. Think of him as the Tree of Temptation. Anyways he tells the inmates that what the warders don't know is that he runs things, and if the inmates want the luxury budget they will have to steal back what the screws took from him and placed in their office.

The items he wants returned are a duck ornament, and also some of the screws goodies and then introduces them to the CCTV (aka live feed) so the inmates can spy on the screws and what they are saying. So they will let the housemates watch the live feed, but not us eh?

On to some yard time, and the screws pick Tomasz up on some swearing, while Cian runs off taking all three guards attention away from Akeem sneaking away to pick up said ornament and the goodies described by Dave.

The wardens are suspicious of the inmates actions, to which Cameron suspects a secret mission. Meanwhile, Lewis says he is enjoying being a misfit, and says all of the screws could be quite strict.

Now the screws are on the case, they have decided the inmates will eat in shifts. Lewis being a miserable so and so, no shock there. The cracks between him and Cameron now becoming gaping holes, as Lewis overhears Cameron call him a name and Lewis wonders if that was aimed at him.

Next steal comes in the shape of Dave's ping pong trophy, not sure is what is real and what isn't in this task as Lewis is like this most of the time anyway. This particular argument though is staged, as the distraction to get the aforementioned trophy for Dave. The fails piling up as the swear words come thick and fast.

The screws getting even more suspicious now, and the invisible woman can hear them doing the task as she puts her ear to the door. Safe to say this task is falling flat on its face, but Big Brother will probably find some way to pass them as it's tradition they usually pass the tasks near the end of the series.

Dave now giving them another task to find some hooch hidden in the garden, and also some keys hidden in the screws office. Plotting for the next distraction is fully underway....

Back to the screws, and now they are writing out reports on the inmates. Yes the inmates are listening in with that one thing one certain power hungry controller won't even let the public watch. Wonder if there is a prize in store for best behaved housemate.

Let the latest distraction begin as Lewis hides Akeem's jigsaw piece.....Another faux argument as Lewis is summoned to the Diary Room, and this is revealed to be a rouse. Next up, another plan is hatched to relieve Cameron of his keys.

Lockup time, but not is all as it seems as Dave gets back to them and tells them the screws are going to bed and as soon as they are asleep, a full scale riot is imminent.

Lewis is observing how sad Cameron looks on the CCTV, while Lewis refuses to participate in this full scale riot. Leave him be, let him be miserable on his own. Akeem and Cian sneak into the house and proceed to trash the screws office, but what's this? Cameron is getting out of bed. Look out inmates, don't get sprung right at the end of the day.

Akeem and Cian run into the toilet, and Cameron knocks at the toilet door wondering if it's locked...or could it be this spook he is obsessing about? Answers on a postcard please. Cameron makes his way to the cell, and says he saw someone outside. Now he knows there is something up as they reveal Akeem and Cian are not in the cell, and somehow he is believing what they are saying about him not locking up properly.

The inmates then bizarrely reveal they are watching, as Zoe is threatening to leave altogether. Cian then hides behind the sofa in the garden as Zoe puffs away on a cigarette. As they say in panto "He's behind you". She doesn't even look around once as she heads back to the house after her cigarette.

And that is that for this episode....To be continued in Episode 37, eviction number 7. Akeem, Tomasz or Cian will be shown the door and it's vote to EVICT

Some breaking news as of writing, Lewis has been removed from the house for unacceptable language. The eviction is confirmed to be going ahead, and more news about Lewis's removal as and when it is revealed.

Final thoughts

Not a bad episode all things considered. I would say they have failed this task 10 times over, but I suspect Big Brother will find some loophole to pass them. Shame about Akeem getting more outside info, but what the hell as it is the last few days of the show on this channel and I guess they will all get letters or some sort of contact with their loved ones if they are still in there, before the end. They always do.

As always, my thanks to everyone reading these posts, and please keep the RT's, likes, shares and comments incoming.

Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 35 - Balance of Power

Once more unto the breach, citizens, as we head into the final Veto competition for this series

In case you missed it: Sian, Brooke, Tomasz, Cian, Akeem and Zoe will be participating. Sian, Brooke and Tomasz came bottom in the final viewers poll, Zoe tops the coin leaderboard and Akeem received the fewest nominations to be saved.

Akeem was successful in the auction to buy the fina;l jigsaw piece, and he gained Power of Knowledge to which he was told in advance about Nominate to Save and also he was able to put out a Yes or No question to the public (OUTSIDE CONTACT) which was did he deserve to be in the final. That answer will be revealed in this episode

In other news, the finale date for this series will be November 5 starting at 10pm and finishing at 11.15pm, talk about giving the show one last kick when it's down. To say it hasn't gone down well on social media and forums would be a bit of an understatement. However, there will be talks soon with Netflix about taking the show to a streaming service. BBC won't touch it with a barge pole, ITV have said no, and Channel 4 don't want it back. So realistically Netflix is quite probably the last hope, if they say no then I guess that's truly the end of Big Brother in this country....Stay tuned are probably the best words to use.

Back to the show at hand, and in case you missed it whoever wins the Veto gets to save two housemates

Cian, Lewis and Zoe are summoned to the Diary Room, due no doubt to Lewis breaking free of his shackles in the previous episode and indeed they are punished, and a paltry 150 coins are deducted from each of their coin totals. Just like that, Big Brother announces their punishment is over. Wow, they have learnt their lesson I don't think.

As for the leaderboard, no change at the top with Zoe leading the way, 2nd is Cameron, and 3rd is the invisible woman known as Sian. In the storeroom, Akeem is flexing his muscles.

Brooke points out the participants in the Veto haven't won a Veto yet, no s**t Sherlock. Cameron says he would save Tomasz if he was playing in this final Veto and won. 

Dining table gatherage as Big Brother announces the final Veto, and says Zoe will be playing as well as she is top of the leaderboard, and also mention that TWO housemates can be saved by whoever wins.

In the garden, Zoe is showing off some of her best impressions.....STFU Zoe, it is insulting to everyone's ears. Moving swiftly on......

Veto competition

Balance of Power is the name of the game. Housemates must traverse a series of balance beams and raise flags with different totals along the way. Only raised flags will count towards a housemates final total. The housemate with the highest total at the end of the competition will win the Veto. No penalties for falling off and scores will not be reset.

Zoe up first and she scores 87 points

The invisible woman Sian scores 215 points

Cian scores 191 points

Brooke scores 215 points

Tomasz scores 45 points

Akeem scores 124

We have a tie between the invisible woman and Brooke, so they will replay their attempts

In the replay, Brooke scored 315 and the invisible woman scored 598 points

Winner of the final Veto is invisible woman SIAN

Statler and Waldorf, aka Lewis and Cameron, speculate about who the invisible woman will save. It's a no brainer who she will save in my opinion.

Time for the invisible woman's decision, and perhaps to no great shock she saves herself and BROOKE. So facing the public vote will be Akeem, Tomasz and Cian.

Refreshments now been provided to the house, while Tomasz doing his usual overacting in the Diary Room. My pick to leave this week, he has seriously outstayed his welcome as he does barely anything in there.

Sian and Cian are reflecting about their time in the house, and Brooke and Lewis are clearing the air about their disagreement in the previous episode. Rare occasion where Lewis is not raising his voice, but give him time as there's still a few minutes left of this episode.

Meanwhile, Zoe decides it would be funny to hide alcohol. That always works out well doesn't it

Akeem is called to the Diary Room to get the answer to his question of whether he deserves to be in the final, and the answer was a resounding YES. Not perhaps the answer Big Brother were hoping for, wonder what may have happened had the answer been NO. One can only wonder I suppose.

As for the missing alcohol, voices are getting raised. You know some of this lot could start an argument in an empty room if they so wished

And on that note, that is it. To be continued in Episode 36, and the return of a classic shopping task which will be elaborated on in the next post.

Final thoughts

The invisible woman actually did something, hold the front page. Although some may not agree with her choice to save Brooke, as it just means both of them will float to the final unless there is one more eviction before the last winner on this channel is crowned.

Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 34 - Breaking Bonds

Good day, citizens.....

In case you missed the last installment:

• The power of positive came to the nominations
• Akeem, Cian, Sian, Brooke and Tomasz found themselves on the block courtesy of said nominations and also the final viewers vote
• Lewis once again at the forefront of the arguments
• Akeem was told that he could ask a question to the public
• Tomasz became emotional after the Suggestion Box game

Tonight sees the fallout from Big Brother announces who is on the block pre-Veto, and no doubt more arguments will come

So lights on and let's get going for this episode's festivities

Lewis is faux complimenting everyone, while Tomasz is still feeling emotional about last night's Suggestion Box. Boo hoo, my heart bleeds, not....

The invisible woman known as Sian is in the Diary Room talking about Lewis, pity she has done nothing but float through this series and could potentially sneak under the radar and win at the end. Get her out this week, please. Same invisible woman is working on Cameron's new look, not saying much of course but that's exactly what she has said. Exactly NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH of interest.

Statler and Waldorf with their usual comparing notes of misery, Cameron saying he has only had 4 hours sleep, and spent an hour talking to Tomasz. 

Now, Cameron is with Zoe talking about a 'spiritual awakening', oh please. There is no ghosts or ghoulies in there, this guy is talking bollocks. Anything for a storyline when it comes to him. Meanwhile, his partner in misery, Lewis, is telling the bath to shut up.....No, me neither.

Tomasz has an issue with Lewis insisting there be no sex talk. Tomasz seriously overacting, when he's the biggest offender in there the way he leers over Akeem and in terms of talking in sexual ways.

Cameron now getting creative in making a house out of cotton buds, while Akeem is summoned to the Diary Room for his next bit of knowledge. OUTSIDE CONTACT. His question to the public is "Do you think Akeem Griffiths deserves to be in the Big Brother final". We should find out the answer in the next episode.

Absolute silence between Statler and Waldorf in the bedroom, trouble in paradise perhaps? Moving on....Cian, Zoe and Lewis are summoned to the Diary Room, and guess what another paltry punishment for talking about nominations. They are shackled together with some Velcro handcuffs, which is giving them great cause for amusement. Hardly surprising seeing how stupid some of these punishments are, remember the days when serious punishments were handed out and the housemates took notice. Yeah me too.

A short while later, the 3 housemates of the moment are back in the Diary Room and you know who is complaining. Big Brother thinks they haven't learnt their lesson. Lewis is threatening to break out of the house, if he does then just send him home via the nearest bus stop. 

Nominations are revealed to the housemates. AKEEM, BROOKE, CIAN, SIAN, TOMASZ....But you knew that already, Zoe will join the famous five in the Veto comp as she tops the coin leaderboard.

The invisible woman is cooking dinner, shock horror she is actually doing something apart from sitting on the bench smoking and drinking.

Lewis exhibiting symptoms of jealousy towards Cameron accusing him of being miserable, can't think where he gets that misery from. Oh look who's in the next shot with Brooke, yes it's Lewis. He's a very agile man tonight. Seems to be in every scene.

Oh look, yet another rule break from Lewis as he breaks out of his cuffs. Please Big Brother, just do your dam job, and get him out of there. Make an example of him, it's not too late. He's walking all over you, and you are letting him do it. 

Look out Big Brother, he's coming to the Diary Room, and yes he is pissed off as expected. Does he have no other moods apart from pissed off, serious question.

Brooke talks about the three offenders, in her usual snakey tone. Another candidate to go this week.

The invisible woman back in her usual spot in the garden, doing what she's done all series as in smoking and talking. Get her out, she has contributed NOTHING to this series.

Zoe needs to go to the toilet, but as per the punishment rules she has to be shackled up to Cian and Lewis. Naturally Cian and Zoe are reluctant to wake up Lewis, given he very easily kicks off.

Lots of F's, B's and C's from Brooke in the Diary Room about Lewis. Fair to say he is off her Christmas Card list, and the invisible woman is also talking about him. Broken record are the words that spring immediately to mind.

And the man of the episode is off yet AGAIN, look out Big Brother he's stomping his way to the Diary Room. Less said the better about his latest rant, as we are all quite used to it by now. Pointless fact, did you know in Big Brother Australia a housemate could get in trouble for not even sitting up straight on the Diary Room chair

To be continued in Episode 35, when the last Veto comp of the series is played out, and 2 housemates could potentially be saved

Final thoughts

Yet another Lewis heavy episode, does this guy ever let up. I know some will put it down to anxiety but jeez, JUST SHUT THE HELL UP LEWIS. It's a pity this series has somewhat degenerated in the last few days with the noms meddling and Akeem getting outside information, can anyone smell what Ben Frow is cooking. Just when we thought he would leave things alone, these last few days have had his slimy paws on it one last time. 

In case you missed it, one last kick while the show is down, the finale is only 75 minutes on November 5. Five confirmed it today on social media, so it's going to be a very rushed affair. At least when Channel 4 canned it, at least they had the decency to give it a good send off.

Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 33 - Power of Positivity

Greeting citizens, and welcome to another post for this final Five series

In case you missed it, Akeem has gained the Power of Knowledge which basically means Big Brother will be handing out tips to Akeem about incoming plans or other information. He has already found this week's nominations will be the opposite of normal nominations

In other words, Nominate to Save. Now call me cynical but that just stinks of them doing something associated with Save, all because the public voted to keep Evict.

Anyways, on with the show as the lights go on and the monitor in the bedroom flicks on with the word NOMINATIONS

Cameron says everyone is a bit panicky in case it's the last nominations (could be the last ones ever) and says Lewis can get paranoid, and is not jealous of Cameron getting closer to Akeem. 

The man of the moment is immediately shown asking Cameron about Akeem, Lewis is getting more paranoid by the day. Just an observation I might add.

Cian is trying very hard to not talk about nominations to Zoe. Discussion in the garden between Cameron and Akeem turns to Lewis....Nuff said

Nominations

Remember it's Nominate to Save

Akeem saves Cameron and Sian (who?)

Brooke saves Zoe and Lewis

Cameron saves Lewis and Tomasz

Cian saves Zoe and Sian

Lewis saves Brooke and Cameron

Sian (who?) saves Brooke and Cian

Tomasz saves Cameron and Zoe

Zoe saves Brooke and Cameron

Playing in the Veto comp will be Akeem, Cian, Tomasz, Brooke, Sian and Zoe

Bedroom relaxation the next order of business, while Cameron and Akeem are bonding. Strange new friendship this one, as Cameron was going out of his way to discredit Akeem for the last few weeks. 

A lot of speculation to who will be on the block this week, and Lewis being his usual classy and happy self....not. A lot of of effing and jeffing is more apt. Lewis is getting increasingly jealous of Cameron's new friendship with Akeem, Lewis saying he doesn't even care about the game now. Fair enough, if that's the way he wants it. 

Too much information from Cian in that he lost his virginity in a field full of cows, then Tomasz follows suit saying he lost his virginity in a forest. Less said the better.

Big Brother summons Akeem to the Diary Room to tell him that he received no nominations, and then is told something which has absolutely ruined the show in this era, as in OUTSIDE INFORMATION. He must ask a question to the public which can only be a yes or no answer. Back in the garden Tomasz thinks there will be six up before the Veto. Dam it, this series was going so well, but in the last couple of days it has been one thing after another, as in meddling with nominations and now outside contact. 

Back to the show, more speculation about Akeem's Power of Knowledge. Lewis says he feels a power of epiphany, whatever that means. Usual ramblings from Lewis, broken record or what. The guy needs to chill and enjoy however long he's left and there's not much of that thing called time yet

Big Brother has now decided to throw in a Suggestion Box, to which Lewis (who else) suggests less sex talk. The invisible woman known as Sian, suggests say something positive every day. Akeem suggests people tidy up after themselves or words to that effect. Guess what, or should that be who raises their voice, yes Lewis....Moving swiftly on.

Tomasz feels emotional after said Suggestion Box, saying he knew there would be arguments. The Suggestion Box is also on other housemates mind as the conversations about the suggestions rumbles on in the dining area, and yes Lewis is revving up again. Back to Tomasz sulking in his usual spot on the bench in the garden, Brooke tells him to not stop being amusing. When has he even be amusing in there, must have missed that. He has spent most of his time dripping poison to anyone who will listen, he's barely done anything apart from sit on that bench or laid on his bed, and thrown his toys out of the pram when other people have played the game besides from himself.

Closing out tonight's show, Brooke asks Zoe if it looks like it is flirting when she plays with Lewis, and then Tomasz turns on the tears. How dare anyone else play the game, eh? Please can this snake go on Friday

To be continued in Episode 34, when the housemates find out who is on the block and Akeem asks his question to the public

Final thoughts

Can't imagine that question to the outside or this nominations meddling is Endemol's idea, again call me cynical but looks like Mr. Frow couldn't resist interfering one last time to try and bury the show so nobody else can have it. Why the hell does he have to keep interfering if he has, dam it. This show is not going to be his property in a few days time, why couldn't he leave things alone. It's bad enough he has cut off all live updates and live feed, so we don't even know what's going on apart from a few short vague clips every day.

Thanks for reading this post, and please keep those RT's, likes, comments and shares rolling in. All very much appreciated.

BB on Blast will be dropping a new podcast very soon, and as soon as it is up it will be linked to in whatever post will be written.

Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 32 - Out with the New, in with the Originals

Greetings citizens, as we head into another jumbo sized episode of Big Brother from the Batcave

In case you missed it from the last show:

• Hussain was evicted first
• Lewis, Isabella and Akeem were nominated in the speed nominations, and joining them in the Veto Comp would be Tomasz and Zoe
• Lewis won the Veto Comp and saved himself
• Isabella was evicted by Cameron, as Cameron was given the sole responsibility as he topped the coin leaderboard

In tonight's show, we see some of the fallout and then we move into Saturday's highlights as the next Big Coin task comes into play and the jigsaw puzzle is finally complete and we find out who wins and what the prize is

The jigsaw is nearly complete pre-eviction, and Cameron is getting his hair cut or butchered if you like by Brooke. Lewis Happy Hour is commencing in the Diary Room, I say happy but as usual he is anything but.....Think the words are BROKEN RECORD.

We'll skip over the recap of the double eviction as that's been covered in the previous post, and we will move straight into the fall out after Hussain and Isabella's departures.

Now, we'll pick up the action shortly after Isabella left, and Cameron is being assured he will see Isabella in two weeks anyway. Take note, Cameron, she has only been evicted. She hasn't died.

Shockwaves around the house as the double eviction night is drawing to a close, and Lewis is now comforting Cameron. Talk now turns back to Akeem, everyone's favourite subject by now as he is the default talking point. The man himself is in the Diary Room describing the shockwaves around the house. 

Tomasz is on smug factor 10, as he walks into the pool, thanking everyone who voted for him. Wish he had gone as he is really going to think he's invincible now.

Cian and the elusive Sian (who?) are talking about Lewis, who else. If it's not Akeem, then the alternative subject is Lewis. The real marmite character of the house by all accounts, you either love him or hate him. Remember people are allowed those two options, there is no in between or is there?

Cameron is starting to turn on the waterworks about his recent narrative and also evicting Isabella. Surprised this series hasn't put on a flood alert with the amount of tears shed by everyone.

Anyways, on to Saturday we go now, and it's about to start raining balls or in their case and there is an auction imminent as well today. So let's get on shall we and see what power this final jigsaw piece brings.

Straight into the Big Coins task we go, and Cian presses the buzzer to start the balls falling from the heavens. Everyone eventually joins in, and even Tomasz races to the garden to join in. Well, he's not going to miss this for the world is he.

Lewis is feeling annoyed, much like every day really then. Tomasz now crawling to Sian (who?) for a new alliance. I scratch your back and you scratch mine and all that. Answers on a postcard please to what Sian's purpose is in there, there's a fabulous no-prize to be won.

Back once again to Cameron's narrative, you know the one. Tomasz is telling him he needs a boyfriend. Meanwhile, Lewis is in the Diary Room calling Tomasz and Akeem 'slinks', he really is getting paranoid. He also says Cameron won't let go of his moods, not surprising when he's got you for company, pal.

Anyways, time to find out what each housemates total coins are after the ball dropping from earlier

Akeem - 952

Brooke - 732

Cameron - 935

Cian - 951

Lewis - 465 + 450 from Isabella - 915

Sian - 880

Tomasz - 288 

Zoe - 1,217

Zoe now top of the leaderboard, with Akeem 2nd, and Cian 3rd

Cameron's Happy Hour in the Diary Room now, and he starts blubbing again. Yawn, change the record. We get it, he's come out.

Big Brother Auction

First item up for grabs is a mystery fun box, which is purchased by Cian for 5 coins. Second is a curry night, which is won by Zoe and finally we come to the jigsaw piece. Shedload of bidding for this between Tomasz, Zoe, Brooke, Lewis and Akeem. The jigsaw piece finally goes for 940 coins, and it's won by Akeem.

Now is it just a puzzle piece, pass to the final, or something more valuable....Stay tuned, and absolutely no sour grapes from Brooke. Oh wait, there is judging from her reaction

The last puzzle piece is inserted, and we get a booming voice saying Akeem has won Power of Knowledge. Don't like the sound of that, hope it's not a load of outside information. Akeem is called back to the Diary Room and his first bit of information is that the nominations will be POSITIVE, roughly translated it will be Nominate to Save. I get it, this is their way of using a sort of Save vote anyway, despite the fact Evict won the public vote.

Trouble in paradise potentially as Statler and Waldorf aka Lewis and Cameron have a lovers tiff, as they exchange some strong words. Meanwhile, Akeem has been forbidden from saying what Big Brother has told him in terms of the upcoming nominations.

Cameron is speculating to what Akeem was told in the Diary Room, while Tomasz mucks about with a super soaker in the garden. Less said the better. Cian, Akeem and Cameron accompany Zoe to her curry night, lots of sour grapes in the garden. Back to the curry night and a lot of poppadom breaking, and Akeem is getting interrogated about what Big Brother has told him.

Lewis is venting to Big Brother, surprise surprise, screaming and shouting about Akeem getting the last puzzle piece. Poor Big Brother having to listen to him going on and on and on like Ariston.

Think that will wrap things up for this episode, to be continued in Episode 33 with the POSITIVE nominations

Final nominations

Very much the Lewis and Cameron show in this episode, and only a few words from me to Lewis. PUT A SOCK IN IT, PAL, OR LEAVE. Stop sucking the dam fun out of this house. Looking forward to seeing how these positive nominations will pan out, but dam it, just feels like they are saying to us they are going to have a save vote in some form anyway, despite the fact Evict won out in the viewers poll. Don't forget, it's 3 least favourite housemates in this final viewer's poll, so a good chance some of the floaters will be in trouble as we take another step towards the end.

Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 31 - Double Trouble, Coins and Bubble

Good day, fellow citizens, as we head into Double Eviction night

In case you missed it it will be a whole week of Big Brother in one night, and boy is it going to feel rushed. You know what UK housemates are like when it comes to these sort of live twists, as in fidgeting and not listening to simple instructions

Here's how it will work:

• Brief highlights
• First eviction and interview
• Speed nominations
• Veto
• 2nd eviction and interview

Sounds simple enough but the overacting sometimes comes into play when they know exactly who they want to nominate

May I just say on a side note, when this show ends on this channel I will NOT miss those blasted WHOOP WHOOP's one little bit

That being said, let's crack on with this marathon show and remember no shopping task in this episode as that was concluded yesterday, and they PASSED

Into house action we go, no matter how brief. Talk is already about Hussain and Zoe says she will move to a different room if he comes into her vicinity. 

Tomasz wants the gossip on Isabella's bed sharing with Lewis. What has it got to do with him, he's so determined to get every scrap of information to use against other housemates. 

Little ray of sunshine Lewis in his usual good mood talking about Hussain. Don't worry Lewis, he will most likely be gone soon the way he's been carrying on.

Zoe and Hussain are clearing the air, a stark difference to the last episode when she was all but saying she would be ripping his head off. A short while later, she reports back to HQ as in some of the other housemates.

Cameron exhibiting signs of jealousy as in Lewis sharing a bed with Isabella. Back to the garden, Zoe says she can't wait to get out of the house and make real friends without having it look like she's making an alliance. Lewis is in the Diary Room talking to Big Brother about Isabella. No chance of a showmance there I would think, and we don't need ANY showmances. No siree bob.

And that's it for the highlights, and Emma announces Cameron has had a hair cut and Lewis has kicked off at them. And the reason for that particular announcement was....? Answers on a postcard please

Eviction #1

In case you missed it, it was Lewis, Tomasz and Hussain facing this first vote. Although it does seem inevitable who will go, and HUSSAIN is indeed announced as first out in this particular show. Not really surprising given how he's been acting these last few episodes. Only got himself to blame as he comes out to a crescendo of boos from the baying mob.

Obviously a lot to cover tonight, so will skip over these interviews......

Note, Hussain's interview did drag on a bit, but let's not worry about that as it's speed nominations up next

Speed nominations

Bizarrely, Cameron has been made immune just because he is top of the leaderboard. Off we go....

Akeem nominates Lewis and Isabella

Brooke nominates Isabella and Lewis

Cameron nominates Isabella and Sian

Cian nominates Lewis and Akeem

Isabella nominates Akeem and Brooke

Lewis nominates Tomasz and Akeem

Sian (who?) nominates Lewis and Akeem

Tomasz nominates Cian and Lewis

Zoe nominates Akeem and Isabella

Lewis, Akeem and Isabella will participate in the Veto, along with Cameron and 2 others of Cameron's choosing. He picks ZOE and TOMASZ. Isabella says she will refuse to leave if there is going to be no crowd. They will get you out of there, Isabella, even if they to get security in there to carry you out.

Veto competition

This competition is called Chain reaction, and it involves unraveling chains wrapped around posts in their respective lanes. But these chains are locked up with padlocks, and the housemates have a set of keys which will also unlock the buzzer at the end of their lane. The first housemate to get to the end after unlocking all their chains and then pushing the buzzer will win Veto

Winner - LEWIS

He sticks two fingers up at the housemates who nominated him, a bit of a lack of class but that is Lewis for you. He obviously chooses to save himself, but the twists don't end there.....

Eviction #2

Who goes, Cameron decides. Obviously it won't be Lewis, nor would it have been had Lewis still been on the block. Cameron has now got to choose from Akeem or Isabella. Surprisingly, he evicts ISABELLA.

Isabella still refusing to leave. Just go!!!!!!!!

Finally she does go, but not the way she should have gone. In the UK, it's who goes the public (with help from the editing) decides.

Boring interview if I'm being honest, so we'll skip over this as well. Only thing of interest was her donating her coins to LEWIS. No surprise there, so predictable.

Emma announces the final Viewer poll is open, and it's the bottom 3 going on the block this time. Reverse Week is also announced, as in housemates have to give positive reasons for nominations. Bit of an error there from Emma, as it has been done before in series 6. Other than that, that wraps up this episode.

To be continued in a 90 minute show in Episode 32, as we will see the next Big Brother Auction and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a pass to the final being offered. Stay tuned for more details on how that auction went in the next post.

Final thoughts

Mixed night, but I think everybody got a little bit of something out of that episode. Lewis safe, Akeem safe and the two new housemates gone as quickly as they arrived. Waste of time putting them in, if I am being brutally honest as they didn't bring much to proceedings and they will quickly be forgotten about. 

And so 16 days left at time of writing this, so I just hope the show can end on a high note, and not the usual sour note that Civilian usually finished on on this channel. Will be so glad when it's off this channel and hopefully into the hands of some channel or streaming service where Endemol can run the show THEY want without any interference from power hungry controllers

Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 30 - Ready Steady Zoe

Good day, citizens, as we head into the day before the double eviction

In case you missed it:

• Isabella won Veto, and used it on herself
• Tomasz, Hussain and Lewis will face the public vote

Lights on for this weeks shopping task, and it is only a one dayer this week 

Housemates will be tasked with completing various tasks against the clock. The housemates who fail will be eliminated from the final showdown, and those that pass will participate. The more time they accumulate, the more time they will have for the final showdown.

A spider has found it's way into the house, and even that is not safe from Lewis's shouting. 

Meanwhile Tomasz and Hussain discuss tactics in the smoking area, and back we go to Lewis's shouting

Sian (who?) is alone in the garden, immediately Big Brother summon 2 housemates to the diary room and it's Lewis and Cameron who go. 12 coloured podiums and 12 coloured cubes are in the task room, to which they have to match up, but there is a twist in that the lights go off so Lewis and Cameron have to work in complete darkness. After much fumbling in the dark, they eventually pass.

Brooke now has to eat sweets off a board while blindfolded, while Cian, Zoe and Sian (who?) have to negotiate a maze without ringing a bell. They are really rushing through this task, as there is something happening later in the episode which has taken up most of the time.

Akeem has to recite the alphabet backwards in the shortest time possible. He does this quite quickly and wins his place in the final showdown.

Someone is crying in the room, think her name is Sian....When did she go in?

Back to the shopping task, and it's the final showdown already. The total time has come to 35:03. Taking part in the final showdown will be Hussain, Akeem, Cameron, Isabella, Lewis and Tomasz

They have to keep the egg timer from running under the red line in the time they have available. Lots of running about keeping the egg timer topped up, and Tomasz takes a tumble during this task before stopping completely. Lewis shouting at everyone to keep going, while Hussain drops his bucket into the egg timer.

Time's up and they have PASSED, and now the build up begins to the main event of the evening. Before that Lewis has another go at Akeem, and Lewis storms off. Not a wise thing to do when you are on the block, pal, and people have got their finger on your voting number.

Statler and Waldorf are whining about Hussain, with Brooke in close attendance and now Isabella joins in as well. 

Now Brooke is venting to Akeem and look who is sitting there as usual, Tomasz. The guy who just loves to sit in to any b*tching. Here's Hussain, the blue touch paper is lit, so stand well back, there is a storm a-coming.

Raised voices now between Isabella and Hussain, half the time these people don't know themselves what they are arguing about. 

Now Zoe is screaming at Hussain, I wouldn't call it Fight Night, more like handbags at night. Cian, meanwhile, is crying his eyes out for some reason. Big Brother tells Hussain to go to the bedroom, and he vents to Akeem. In the Diary Room Zoe is letting out every word in the book as Big Brother warns her that threatening behaviour will not be tolerated.

Hussain doing exactly the same in the bedroom, as Akeem tries and fails to calm him down. In his anger he reveals about the mystery box, only to Akeem though. Not much point in punishing him though as he will most likely be gone in the double eviction anyway.

To be continued in Episode 31, the double eviction

Final thoughts

Understandable why the shopping task was not high on the list of priorities this week, as the so called blazing row coupled with the time to be consumed by the double eviction. Quick pass in this one. For me, in the first eviction hope it's Tomasz, but more than likely it will be Hussain. Not quite sure how the second one will go, as there is lots of speculation about how the vote will be carried out. Will elaborate more once it has all played out.

Big Brother UK 2018 - Episode 29 - Dropping the Ball

Greetings, citizens, as we move into another Veto competition

In case you missed it, Big Brother's wrath was felt all around the house as basic rations were dished out, hot water and electrical appliances were switched off. This was due to several rule breaks as in talking about nominations and ignoring Big Brother's instructions and also the alarms as in not getting out of bed. This all caused Cameron to whine throughout the episode, nothing new there.

Tonight sees Tomasz, Hussain, Isabella, Cameron and 2 others of Cameron's choosing participate in the Veto competition to save themselves or someone else, as the double eviction gets a step closer. 

Lewis cannot play in the Veto comp as he received the killer nominaton from Hussain

So without further ado, let's get things underway.....Wake up housemates, it's a new day, yes it is

The usual deafening alarms as the housemates enter their 2nd day on basic rations, and some very miserable faces can be seen.

Cameron picks ZOE and BROOKE for the Veto competition, and it's an endurance competition this week as we will soon see. The very same Cameron is in full on whine mode as usual, and it's still about basic rations. Partner in crime, or should that be whinging, Lewis says he hasn't eaten anything. 

Isabella is hauled into the Diary Room for her punishment as she talked about the viewers poll, hereby breaking the no talking about the outside world and also talking about nominations. She gets off relatively lightly as she is only fined 150 coins. Should have been at least a FINAL warning, not that piddly punishment Big Brother gave her.

Speculation now back to the Killer Nomination power, courtesy of Lewis and Cameron. Sian's (who?) name crops up now. Lewis does have a fair point though, as she IS floating her way to the final, hence the constant who references.

Veto competition

As stated earlier, it's endurance

Each housemate has to hold onto a ball attached to a bungee rope. They can use other body parts they wish to hold onto the ball, but if a housemate comes off their podium, or the ball touches the ground then that housemate is eliminated.

Hussain is already revving up to be a complete asshole, just wait. He starts screaming DROP THE BALL to the other participants

Order of elimination:

Brooke

Zoe

Cameron

Hussain

Tomasz

ISABELLA wins the Veto power for this week, will she use it to save herself or someone else....Stay tuned

Meanwhile, Hussain has completely lost it as he randomly starts shouting at anyone who is listening, and is fast sealing his eviction this week whether it be the first eviction or the second. He is screaming about wanting to leave, well I'm sure the public will oblige in the next eviction if he doesn't get kicked out before then the way he is carrying on.

To no great shock, Isabella uses the Veto on herself, so it will be LEWIS, HUSSAIN and TOMASZ facing the public vote. Absolutely no idea how the second vote is going to go though, do we decide or do the housemates.

The dummy spitting continues from Hussain, keep it up and keeping digging your eviction grave nice and deep. You won't be missed if you go, it will be a dam relief. Too little too late to try and clear the air with Isabella now, pal.

Today's task

Dining table gatherage as Big Brother give the housemates a chance to win their food back, as in a public apology via poetry. To no great shock they have passed, and all is well in the world as they get their food, hot water and electrical appliances back. Hussain is prowling around outside, still sulking after his meltdown earlier in regards to the endurance Veto.

Less said the better, I think

Back to house action

Cian says the mood has changed since the food has come back, and says there won't be any more rule breaking. Fat chance of that. Isabella and Cian are making the most of the now returned hot water, meanwhile Isabella is the talk of the moment in the garden.

Brooke is wary of Isabella and says she and Isabella have nothing in common. Get to know her then, Brooke, it's not THAT difficult. She also points out about the papers outside, did she not get the memo that as with the channel the show is on, the papers stopped giving a crap about Civilian many years ago.

Hussain says he was bullied quite a lot, and starts crying to Big Brother. Too late for the waterworks, Hussain. Nuff said.

And that's it for another episode, to be continued in Episode 30 where we see the start of this week's shopping task.

One more thing, EVICT has won out as the viewers could vote between Evict and Save for the rest of the series. There will be complaints of course, that the interesting housemates will get voted out, but to be fair, there would have been complaints anyway from either the EVICT or SAVE camps whichever had won the vote. Evict for the rest of the series, so the people have spoken and let's get on with things.

Final thoughts

Bye Bye Hussain, you screamed so loud urging the other participants to drop their ball and you couldn't even hang on to yours. No point screaming and shouting about losing, did you not remember you were up for the public vote, and now you have all but sealed your eviction on Friday whether it be in the first or second eviction. As for Isabella winning Veto, she won it fair and square although perhaps she should have been banned from it as part of her punishment. What's done is done though, and she is safe from the first eviction as least this week. Could both newbies be gone this week, stay tuned. 

Thank you for reading this post, and please keep the shares, likes, RT's and comments incoming. It's nearly the end of BB UK, hopefully just on this channel and not forever though.
