Post eviction blues

The day after the night before

Rachel and Maggie have left the house and now we move on to the fallout plus some booze and some potential kick offs

Welcome once again, citizens of BB world

So wish we had some live feed or even some small morsels of updates, which have been sadly lacking in this series as fansites have been very quiet along with forums and updaters associated with BB

And some breaking news from the Daily Star and The Sun, if they can be believed, then the show WILL be axed after Summer CBB is done

More updates on future blogs if the above is confirmed or denied

Anyway, on with tonight's show

Barnesie talking with Shane L about the sleeping arrangements if Anne goes, meanwhile Rachel is checking up on Ashley

Flashback to yesterday, with Amanda snapping at Rachel

Experimenting talk with Courtney, and he expresses some concerns to Barnesie about some of the things John said in the 'experimenting' conversation

Thankfully it is a mature conversation which is settled quite amicably, which is one of the things I find fascinating this series....Most disagreements are settled without the need for screaming and shouting, another tick in this series column

Anne calls a house meeting  and yet again states the cooks must wash up and make tea and coffee for everyone else....Anne then calls for a revolution, to which the housemates are unanimous

"Housemates are wondering if this revolution is worth the whisk" - Marcus

Dapper Bellend debates whether it will affect their fees, in a jokey way of course

Jess then pipes up saying housemates will make a stand, before Anne suggests a full scale industrial action

Debating continues.....and continues

"The original social experiment returns"....Intriguing, does that mean in the summer LIVE FEED and housemates who haven't got agents or haven't been on TV before?

Amanda is summoned to the Diary Room, and we have a secret mission to look forward to

She has to act like a showbizzy diva, if that makes sense....And of course twist within a twist, Wayne has to act a bit more diva-ish than Amanda

So off we go for Amanda v Wayne

First Amanda must name drop a few celebrity names into a showbiz story, amazing how the others are so oblivious that Amanda and Wayne are acting strangely so soon after coming out of the diary room ;)

Next up Amanda has to sing a fictitious song, to which Wayne must better....Have to say they are doing well at this and this is coming from someone who is not a fan of these tasks within twists

Finally, Amanda has to throw a diva tantrum to which Wayne must outdo her

And the results are in.....Wonder if they have passed, oh of course they have ;) Amanda and Wayne get some 'fizz' as a reward

And now onto the double eviction we go

And first out is Rachel (but we knew that already) as most saw it live last night....While not a great shock, we could have done with her still in there

Second out is Maggie, not her fault she was pushed to the sidelines to make way for the yawnmance and bigger characters, but that's the way the icecube crumbles so to speak

Anne is delighted she is saved and says she did not expect it....I'm not too bothered about Anne myself, but thankfully she did stay and to be fair NEEDS to be there to the end especially with India not there

BB has given the housemates a game to play....Some long overdue shit stirring from BB, had a feeling they would do this so not nuclear hot mad, as we have gotten quite used to it by now ;)

Single sex school debate ensues....Was in a single sex high school for 5 years, before the final year was mixed with the girls school...Nowadays that same school is for girls AND boys.

But seriously I didn't really enjoy my high school years, that is one area of my life I don't look back on too fondly. Although I did enjoy the sporting aspect of high school life...Soccer, Rugby Union, cricket, athletics, basketball just to name a few sports. Was very proud to represent my school at these sports and still have some photos to this day which I keep as memories

Anyways back to tonight's show, and the game/debate is continuing ranging from photoshoots to how good is Shane L to making sandwiches...This debate is getting seriously out of control

Jess goes into a strop saying she hates shouting, though she would be kind of used to it given she's from a RTV background

Ashley gets on Anne's case about talking over her

"You are all drunk as owls" - Anne

Post debate chaos, Ashley still rambling about Anne....Sooner Ashley goes the better, but not getting my hopes up she will go in the upcoming backdoor eviction, maybe on Tuesday would be a better bet if she is on the block

But in any case, GET ASHLEY OUT!!!!!

The lesser sighted Shane L in the diary room, Marcus remarked "At least someone's enjoying themselves"

Some final talk in the smoking area before end credits

And that's another Saturday in the bag, can I just say it's best to wait until it's officially confirmed from 5 that the show is finished

The backdoor eviction will take place tomorrow in real time, so Monday's show we will be down to 12 left and Rylan will be talking to that particular evictee on S**t on the Side on Monday

Then there's another eviction on Tuesday, and this one we will be seeing

Hope you enjoy this blog, and remember someone is always watching if we are not ;)

Until next time, citizens......

And then there were 13

Welcome citizens to the pre-eviction show for CBB January 2018

Anne and Dapper Bellend have got the power this week and ICYMI from yesterday, Dapper saved himself and Anne put Maggie in his place on the chopping block

Tale of the tape, who stays the editing decides and at the moment John and Maggie should be going out the door

John - Some say he has done nothing, but we don't know actually know that, as it's not his fault he's been shunted to the bench to make for the yawnmance....

Maggie - A true hero in real life, but like John has been pushed out of the edit to make way for the bigger characters in there and the yawnmance

Anne - Yesterday's show would have probably saved her and in essence the show needs her to stay in there as we have already lost India, and can't afford to lose Anne as well

Andrew - Outside bet to go, but has the Courtney storyline going for him which could work in his favour tonight...Although I wouldn't rule out a shock exit and he ends up going as the voting public are so unpredictable

Rachel - Needs to stay as this house needs a spark or two, although wouldn't rule out her going tonight

Hope - Andrew and Rachel
Think - Maggie and John

Truth be told wish we could have seen more of Barnesie, as even though he played for the red enemy and I am a Toffees supporter, he would have had a shedload of stories to tell about the various clubs he played for and also his England career

And so we move onto the main event....

Let's see if that crowd are just as well behaved as last week, and.....no whoop whoops again this week...Hallelujah :)

Emma looking as great as ever, although her hair does look a bit wind swept

The usual running through of the weeks events are run through by Mrs Willis along with the usual voting numbers

And now back to yesterday.....

We start with a recap of yesterday with Anne saying about Ashley being top of her hit list in regards to replacing, but as we know Ashley was immune so Anne went for Maggie instead

Anne explaining her rationale to Ashley, which she really doesn't have to....She doesn't have to explain to ANYBODY, least of all to the one person who is so desperate for a yawnmance and mag deals

In the Diary Room, Anne is explaining to us the simple rule of BB, everyone has to nominate.....Well, duh Anne

The lesser sighted Shane L talks to BB about the new sleeping arrangements, and nobody out here is none the wiser to who is actually where...Answers on a postcard please

And now an geological question from Jess to Johnny, tell her the earth is round and her head would probably explode from confusion

Meanwhile back to Emma and that crowd are amazingly so well behaved, guess we have seen the end of the booing for this series or have we....There's still time in this series for everything to change and it probably will

Vote close apparently, more like hardly anybody is voting

Cheers all round for everyone, I am astonished

Back to the house, and we have Anne and Rachel talking about Brother Boris, you know our moronic foreign secretary

Malika seems in a better mood than she was yesterday, she and Mr. Sleep compare their heights...Courtney and Dapper Bellend predict who will be out tonight, interesting as Courtney thinks Andrew will go and says he and Andrew are just mates

BB has summoned the power couple to tell them it should only be the two people assigned to cooking, as in Barnesie and Shane L, who should be cooking......

Jess kicking off about kitchen duties for some reason....Seriously how much longer is this thick as a brick routine going to last with her, it's getting very tiresome. Waterworks soon follow, oh yawn. WTF is she actually crying, don't think even she knows herself...

The latest plug for the civilian series, and more than likely the last ever civilian series on this channel at least...No can do sorry, as no RTV experience, haven't got a 6 pack, not a model, and haven't got an agent

Vote closed as we head into the next part of the show, so do not ring now as you are just too late and you may still be charged

Party time in the house and some Black Eyed Peas being played, but of course we get treated to the yawnmance

Rachel now treating us to an eviction rap....Crappy rapping I may add, don't give up the day job anytime soon, Rachel

Emma apologises to any rap fans watching, and it's over to the house.......

The 2 housemates safe are....ANN and ANDREW

The first evicted tonight is.....RACHEL

Maggie or Barnesie have to wait to see which of them two go

Was sort of expecting Rachel going, pity about Andrew being safe but that's the way the icecube crumbles

Best bits for Rachel, and look at that NO booing :)

Not much to report from that interview, so back in 30 minutes for Maggie or Barnesie leaving....

And we are off again, Maggie or John come on down, you will finish in 14th place

Very nervous about this one, particularly at the end....Really hoping Emma doesn't tell us their F and F will be popping in or viewers tweets will be read out in some sort of task

Anyways, here we go and the WHOOP WHOOP returns, boooooooooo

Straight down to business, and the person finishing in 14th place......MAGGIE

No great shock there, and Barnesie is safe for another few days :)

Interview wise, Emma brings up a good point about Maggie not doing anything bad it was just a case of being overwhelmed by the bigger characters and the yawnmance, to which the same could be said for Barnesie if he had come out

Seems there was an underlying issue in there, but we will probably never find out as we don't have that one thing they are not letting us watch as apparently is too expensive

Talk then turns to the yawnmance of course.....WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT!!!!!!!

Rachel then reappears to talk about the yawnmance....Is it any wonder people are switching off when that is all we are shown

And that is it for the interview, and Emma announces it's battle of the sexes over the weekend and it culminates in a back door eviction....Their own f'ing fault for jamming the house up with too many

Anyway that is it for tonight, and I hope you enjoy reading this like I have enjoyed writing it

Until tomorrow, take care and remember someone is always watching even if we are not ;)

Enjoy, critique or a bit of both the choice is yours ;)

Twists and Turns

In other words, who will be safe and who will be replaced in tonight's very last minute nominations twist

On the block at the moment:

Anne
John
Dapper
Rachel
Andrew

But BB have decided to hold a last minute save and replace twist, in the form of a two day challenge, to determine who will actually be on the block and then the lines will open probably after the highlights or during S**t on the Side

Think the only downside of this task, is BB sneakily trying to shitstir a bit, as many have stated it has gone a bit quiet after a good start, but I sort of don't agree as it has flowed nicely without the need for BB to throw hand grenades in there to get them to go at each others throats

Don't get me wrong, this task is quite fun and it's nice to see them dressed up and doing silly things, MUCH better than BB dusting off the podiums and trying to manufacture arguments

This house does not need grenades, no new housemates to stir things up...Besides think it may be a bit late to put someone new in there, and nobody in there has shown any signs of quitting or being ejected which is a miracle in itself in this era of the show

However I am a bit concerned that with this noms meddling, we may see the usual doors opened with:

F and F popping in to tell them how they are being perceived on the outside
The usual mean tweets and who said what about who in the diary room
The usual miserable final week

Just no, seriously no, just leave those things where they belong in the filing cabinet or better still put them in the nearest shredder

Can we just have one nominations session in this series before the end where they are ALL nominating and not just one half of the house

Tonight, we move into Day 16 in the house with 15 due to become 13 tomorrow evening

The driving task moves into its second day, and it's all to play for with the people on the block having an extra incentive to win this task...Who's on the block tonight, BB decides

Cold showers ahoy, and Wayne takes the plunge and heads for a cold shower

Meanwhile the yawnmance continues....This is why people are switching off and why some people are being labelled 'boring'. Fresh storylines pronto as we approach the end, please

Malika gets a lot off her chest regarding Anne, to an audience of Jess and Courtney....Bordering close on noms talk there, careful Malika

Some roleplay ensues between Jess and Shane J....Not very interesting, next

Meanwhile, Malika keeps going on and on like Ariston about Anne, and Courtney is telling Anne everything about things that have been said....Can anyone else hear those odds on Courtney and Malika winning widening

Ashley comes out into the garden looking like a Smurf with her face pack....

Rachel thinks Wayne has come across in a good light in regards to the edit....We'll see in a few days, as this edit can change like the weather and nobody is safe

2nd and final day of the driving task, and it's a time trial

The driver will be blindfolded and the person not blindfolded will have to direct them around the course

Wayne and Amanda, and less said the better about the teamwork....Something like good but in a bad way if you get my drift

Ginuwine and Courtney - Fast recap there

Rachel and Shane L - As above, but Rachel actually did a good job there

Jess and Andrew - Disaster, less said the better

John and Ashley - Passable

Malika and Johnny - Malika says she can't see a thing, that will be the blindfold Malika

Anne and Dapper - Anne barks out instructions constantly, showing it should be done. This may just save Dapper Bellend from the block

Results in straight away

Last place - Wayne and Amanda
First place - Anne and Dapper

Overall result

130 points - Ashley and John, Rachel and Shane L, Courtney and Ginuwine, Jess and Andrew

180 points and winners - Anne and Dapper

Power this week goes to...ANNE and DAPPER

BB reveals the original nominees to the house, and Anne and Dapper have the chance to save themselves and replace

Ann and Daniel have made their choice and....brace yourselves, DAPPER BELLEND is saved and in his place will be.....MAGGIE

Reason being "she laughed when others were in pain"....Right, whatever Anne, absolutely pathetic reason

So the revised list of who's on the block:

MAGGIE
ANNE
JOHN
ANDREW
RACHEL

Next up, we have the next round of job assignments, Anne and Dapper Bellend have decided:

Personal butlers: Amanda for Anne, and Johnny for Dapper
Chefs: John and Shane L
Cleaners: Ashley and Jess
Bathroom cleaners: Courtney and Wayne

But wait, BB has something else to tell them, bedrooms will be reassigned....

No idea of the new bedroom lineups just yet, but hopefully will have them in due course

So back to the show, and it's party time but of course we go to the yawnmance

Of course, Malika's kicking off which she has been doing all show, and as we approach the end of this episode she is still at it

Dapper Bellend is feeling grateful....Nothing to do with the fact you are safe I would assume, DB?

And its the yawnmance again, as Ashley joins Ginuwine in his bed....Desperate much, Ashley? Don't think people can see those pound signs in your eyes, because we can

Bad show - Malika, been catty all show and doing herself no favours
Good show - Anne, saved herself with a few decisions tonight

Good episode tonight, but looks like BB have finally got what they wanted in getting some divisions in the house

Eviction prediction - Hoping it's Andrew and Rachel, think it will be John and Rachel...No matter how much the point is put across, we have no idea how John is coming across as he has basically been thrown onto the bench to make way for the yawnmance...Of course someone has to be sacrificed and unfortunately he is the unlucky person

Enjoy or critique, the choice is yours :)

Until tomorrow, BB from the Batcave will get back to you...

Fall outs and U turns

When we last said our farewells to our housemates:

Nominations 'rocked the house'

Anne, Dapper, John, Rachel and Andrew were on the block....or were they?

Marcus announced that there will be a nominations twist which played out in real time today, but we will see tomorrow what this twist is and who is on the block

Onto tonight's show:

A new task awaits the housemates

The fall out from nominations

More noms discussion punishments incoming

But who and what is the punishment....Find out tonight as Week 3 of CBB begins in the house

Good evening, citizens, and off we go for another show

Nominated housemates will get the chance to Save and Replace in the BB Driving School, and it's that very task we start on this evening....Some Rihanna to start the day to which Anne covers her head with a towel

Into the Diary Room and BB describes the song to Anne and it's 'never heard of it'

Rules:

• BB will be pairing up the housemates and will see who the best drivers are
• It is not a battle of the sexes, but will be a test to see who works best in couples
• The team with the most points at the end of the task will win the power
• The winners of the task will have the opportunity to replace one of the 5 nominees, and replace them with someone not on the block
• They have to be on their toes as the klaxon could sound at any time

John queries whether they have the opportunity to turn the replace down....I know I would if I was there, just so not to give BB what they want in some manufactured drama

Pairs - Ashley and John, Jess and Andrew, Courtney and Genuwine, Malika and Johnny, Rachel and Shane L, Dapper and Anne and finally Wayne, Amanda and Maggie will form a black limo

"....which they are finding a bit of a stretch" remarks Mr.B

Housemates must abide by BB's highway code, failure to do so will result in points being deducted from their team's total

Looks like a fun task, as it is fun when they have to dress up and do silly things....Much better than the podiums, who said this, this tweet is referring to....etc.

Some general chit chat in the kitchen with Jess getting feisty....Rare sightings of Barnesie and Maggie, and Maggie jokes she won't muck with Jess

Meanwhile in the bedroom, Amanda and Anne discuss the task, biscuits and Friday's double eviction

Sighting of the yawnmance, to which Rachel does a very poor Mr B. impression...Less said the better, Britain's Got Talent does not await

Dapper certain he and Anne are going to win this task and he will be saved....Dear me I hope not, can he please go on Friday if he is still up after this task

And back to the yawnmance, why oh why does it have to be Ashley who is immune.....This is not going to last 5 minutes once one of Ashley or Ginuwine are evicted

Task part 2, and it's the theory test

• Which from a puffin, pelican, toucan or giraffe is not a crossing around Europe
• Which CELEBRITY has a plate labelled S8RRY
• What road sign would you see if you saw a toad within a red border
• In what segment of a popular TV show would you see celebrities in a carsinging along to their favourites
• What utensil would you use to measure oil levels in a car
• In what country do drivers drive on the opposite side to the UK
• Spell manoeuvre 
• What would you be doing if you were accused of rubber necking
• When is it appropriate to use the car horn
• Who won the F1 world championship in 2017

The white team, Andrew and Jess, win the theory test and must take points of another team and they choose Maggie and Amanda

Green screen has now made an appearance, and this time it's endurance

Teams have to count to 100 seconds in their heads, and must press the emergency stop when they think they have reached 100....This being BB, not everything is as seems so there will be distractions

Distractions:

Lollipop ladies and a crossing
Snow storms
BB throwing in various number distractions
Cold callers

Finding this quite amusing, and not just because there no podiums or mean tweets in sight....If only they had done tasks like this in the last 7 years the show would not be in the dire situation it has been in since being on this channel

Anyways back to the results:

Last place goes to Johnny and Malika
6th place to Wayne and Maggie
5th place to Ginuwine and Shane
4th place to Jess and Andrew
3rd place to Rachel and Shane L

Runner up - Anne and Daniel

Winner - Ashley and John

As with the last part it is now up to Ashley and John to decide who loses all their points in this round and they choose......AMANDA, MAGGIE AND WAYNE and give their reasons why....Disappointed in a way just so BB can get some manufactured drama out of this

Malika talks about being 'trapped'......Surely she's seen this show before in some form or another, and knew what she was letting herself in for

Some general bedroom chat as we go wishing and washing towards the end of this episode

Ginuwine, divorced dad of 9, gives Ashley and Jess some marriage advice....Please fella don't go giving your showmance partner any fresh ideas

And off we go for more punishments regarding talking about nominations, but not a punishment worth noting as it's back to the usual hot water and hair appliances off which is totally pointless....How about some more of those fun punishments you gave Wayne, not the obvious one which they are NOT going to take seriously....

It's no wonder they think they can go about breaking every rule knowing there will be no serious consequence, can we please have the BB back from the early days who took no shit from anybody...Just SOMETHING so if the show ends in the summer we can have some good memories from this era to look back on

Come on BB, two more series after this to get those punishments right and somewhat original

Back to the show and into the live feed segment we go and it's the boys talk most of us saw, Andrew digging himself somewhat of a hole here, which he may not be able to escape from if he is still on the block in tomorrow's show

That's it for tonight, who goes on the block BB decides tomorrow

Enjoy this post or critique as always...Until next time, and remember someone is ALWAYS watching even if we are not ;)

Noms or no noms

Hello citizens and chums

Nominations day is upon us, and in case you missed it only the men are nominating

While we wait, tiny recap of yesterday:

1. Wayne was punished for discussing nominations, and was made to do lines by BB until further notice

2. Yesterday's task involved a load of kids coming in and they had to pick their favourite housemates, sadly they picked Ashley, and Ashley became immune from being nominated

3. The yawnmance between Ashley and Ginuwine took up most of the real estate of yesterday's show and didn't really go down well anywhere

On to tonight's show we go and the next round of nominations

Day 14, and it's the noms but not THE noms given today's news as it will be who is on the block BB decide

So the house is starting to crack according to Mr B., but straight to the yawnmance nobody cares about as in Ashley and Ginuwine

"Ginuwine knows a serious actor when he sees one" as Shane L regales Ginuwine about his time in pantomime

Shell in an avocado, or no shell in an avocado.....Anne or Malika decide

Dapper Bellend starts singing about Malika, "Ed Sheeran watch out" remarks Marcus

And now for the main event of the episode, as in NOMINATIONS

Andrew votes for Ann, reason being "she means well...But her opinions are outdated, we should all be equal", and then votes for Ginuwine stating "Made a few passing comments in the first few days"...Less said the better

Barnesie - Andrew "Comes in late and takes all the covers", and Dapper Bellend "Loud snorer"

Wayne - Courtney "Messed about with the shopping list", and Dapper Bellend "Found him bossy and made some sensitive jibes"

Dapper Bellend - Anne "Slightly stand offish on different subjects", and Andrew "Left a skidmark on a window pulling a moonie"

Dear god, usual piss poor reasons accepted by BB

Scores on the doors so far

Andrew - 2
Ann - 2
Daniel - 2
Ginuwine - 1
Shane J - 1

Ann and Rachel going at it again, in the best possible way of course with Amanda caught into the crossfire...Not much of a kick off if I'm being honest

Shane L - Rachel "Not quite on her level", and Andrew "Just some of his commentary on women leaves a lot to be desired

Johnny - Malika "She's a bit high and mighty", and Barnesie "He has a lot of strong opinions, and stops others having opinions as well"

Ginuwine - Anne "No one is themselves when Ann is around", and Barnesie "Cuts people off in mid sentence"

Courtney - Rachel "Pedantic about choices on the shopping list", and Ann "Conservative views, doesn't like people showing off their bodies"

Score now:

Anne - 4
Andrew - 3
Daniel - 2
John - 2
Rachel - 2
Ginuwine - 1
Malika - 1
Courtney - 1

The men now have taken their place in the sauna and have established a "pecking order", whatever that means

Serious discussion between Wayne and Amanda, when Amanda talks about Wayne's prostate problems...Prostate cancer is quite serious and has claimed the lives of many a person, if you have any doubts get checked out by your doctor.

Next up, a game not devised by BB called "How well do you know each other"....The usual classy chat from Dapper Bellend when he says "Who do you think masturbates more".....That guy has got to go on Friday, if he is even up after the latest meddling from BB which will be revealed when it airs on the highlights.

Sofa gatherage, and facing this week's public vote (at least for now)

ANNE
DAPPER
BARNESIE
RACHEL
ANDREW

And as Marcus just said, there WILL be a nominations twist and THEN the lines open....Obviously BB don't like who's up so they have chosen to interfere..Took until week 3, but they couldn't help themselves could they :(

Anne and Rachel wonder if there is a generation gap, while hide and seek is being played in the living area

Courtney feels the house is shook up due to the nominations, and thinks it's time to add a little sparkle so gets changed into his alter ego....Fun little segment and can see why he is the favourite to win right now

Andrew thinks Ashley and Ginuwine is a showmance....No f'ing shit Sherlock

"Ashley is looking fierce", comments Mr B. as she walks into the living area after a Courtney makeover, but it kind of fell flat IMO

Time for the final part of tonight's episode, and hopefully it won't hit more of a bum note

And we start with some washing up with Anne and Amanda....Not much to see here

Rachel trying to work out who wants to win, but the plain and honest truth is you are a LIAR if you say you are not in there to win...

Bedtime for Anne, and it's only 9.56pm or so we are led to believe

Back to some of the men in the smoking area, usual man talk ongoing so let's move on

Not much of interest in what the men are talking about in the garden

And we end with another Andrew getting his butthole waxed, much like civilian Andrew got his rear end waxed...Speaking of civilian Andrew, I would seriously recommend listening to the BB on Blast podcast when Lotan got removed from the civilian series last year, as Gaz does an absolutely hilarious impression of what Andrew sounds like as a turkey.

Passable episode tonight, just unfortunate BB don't like who is up and feel they have to interfere instead of just accepting their decision....It really should be who goes/stays/wins WE decide, not who is on the block BB decides because they don't like who is there now

On that note, hope you enjoy this post and retweet or critique...As always the choice is yours, until next time......

Playschool and Punishments

My fellow citizens of Big Brother World, good morning, afternoon or good evening wherever you are reading this blog from

On the cusp of week 3, and tonight looks promising as someone is punished for talking nominations and the house is turned into a playschool

Last time we left our housemates:

One housemate talked nominations, who shall remain nameless until they are revealed on tonight's show

There was a slight clash in regards to the shopping list regarding avocados and parmesan cheese

The showmances continued at apace, with Shane J and Andrew horseplaying in the final part of the show 

Onto tonight's show we go

Day 13 is upon us and we are off for hopefully another great episode

The kids invade the house, Ashley misses her 'man' (oh please), and Anne is not impressed (when is she ever)

The men are still in charge and there is tension between Ashley and Ginuwine (yawn who cares, surely there are other storylines we could be watching)

Prayers going on in the bedroom with Jess, Shane L, Malika, Ann and others...

Rachel unimpressed as apparently Ann is not pulling her weight....Well we wouldn't know as we don't have that one thing to watch live

"Now for a scene you'll never unsee" as in Amanda bathing Wayne, what are they trying to do to us and now she's cutting his toenails....Make it stop, make it stop!!!!!!

Prayers over in the bedroom, prayers that none of them are nominated perhaps? Answers on a postcard please

A few minutes breather, and now the task most have been waiting for in the kids going in there for another battle of the sexes task

Been personally looking forward to this as I am excited to see how some of these housemates are going to cope with these little kids, anyways off we go

But before we go into the task, Shane J is meditating and Rachel wants to ask Ann to do stuff, well....we're. waiting....."Spit it out Rachel" chimes Marcus

That guy is on point this series, with some of the stuff he is coming out with....I doth my hat to you, Mr Bentley

And here we go, bring on the kids...Although this should be a breeze for Ginuwine, given how many kids he has

The children will be voting which male and female housemate they like the most, and those 2 will be immune from nomination

Various scenes of the housemates integrating with the kids, which include some games and general interaction which actually looks quite sweet....If only we had live feed to watch this as I am quite enjoying this, dam you Frow for taking it away

After much tomfoolery, meant in the best possible way, that as they say is that and the klaxon sounds for the kids to leave....Hats off to the task team, they are earning their stripes in this series

Back from the next batch of messages, Ann is showing off her 'dance skills', hmmmm less said the better I think

"Ashley is talking about her specialist subject, Ginuwine" All too true Mr. B....It's boring the shit out of everyone, the showmance that is not you

And now it's time for someone to face. the. music., Whoever could it be....Mr Sleep how could you, and BB reels off what Mr. Sleep says back to the house....No hot water off? Wow

Mr Sleep has to write I MUST NOT TALK ABOUT NOMINATIONS until BB orders him to stop, have to say that is MUCH better than turning the hot water off for 5 seconds...Well done BB, you continue to amaze and in a good way in this series :)

And meanwhile back with the yawnmance, Ashley and Ginuwine have taken off their mics in the bathroom and as Mr B. said "We'll just have to guess what they're talking about"

Ann then with a line to us all there, "It would entertain anyone who watches Big Brother, but it wouldn't entertain anyone I have respect for"

Sofa gatherage as we return from the break, and BB gives out the results and reveals the twist within the twist, and now we find out who is immune as we return to the kids describing their time in the house....

The kids choose ASHLEY and we are stuck with the yawnmance past Friday, f'ing lucky us :(

And speaking of Ashley, here we go again for another crappy sucks segment of the yawnmance....No comment as it's boring the f'ing pants off me....Please BB some fresh storylines PRONTO AMIGO

"Ashuwine is back on", comments Rachel....Whoopee doo we don't f'ing care

And speaking of the tedious twosome, straight to the bedroom and they are under the covers which no doubt Toofy will be squealing about on S**t on the Side

Anyways that is it for another night, and another half decent episode in the bag but PLEASE SOME FRESH STORYLINES THAT ARE NOT SHOWMANCES

Enjoy this blog entry, or critique or a little bit of both...Thank you and good night :)

Avocado Wars: The Sleep Strikes Back

When last we left our great housemates....

India was evicted in a not too surprising result, which left Maggie in sole charge of cleaning duties as assigned by the men

Tonight, the return of another old friend in the shape of the chalk board...Pity we don't have live feed as in the good ye days of olde it was fun watching the kick offs live when the chalk board was rolled out after the shopping tasks

Now let's see if it has the same result as it did back then....

And we're off and another step closer to week 3

Day 12, and Rachel is reluctant to take breakfast orders...Dapper Bellend is in the Diary Room saying how Rachel wants to rip peoples heads off....Not as much I bet as most want to rip yours off for your so called 'comedy' DB

Shane Lynch has returned from his latest shift at Tesco as he is welcomed back, meanwhile back in the Diary Room DB thinks Courtney 'fancies' Andrew from the Apprentice....Oh please, can we cut up the showmances so we don't get these monopolising the highlights

And tada, here it is....The Shopping List and luxury budget, but what did they do to earn it....There hasn't even been a recognised shopping task yet?

Putting that to one side though, looks like we have the customary shopping list arguments judging by the preview in Rachel asking if there was parmesan put on the list

And we are off again, and it's straight onto the Ashley Ginuwine showmance bollocks....So much for her saying I DON'T WANT A HOUSE ROMANCE, next breath she is all over him

DB being his usual classy self in the garden with Andrew, seriously he can do one as soon as he is up as he is bringing NOTHING to the house

And meanwhile back with the so called 'lovebirds' Ginuwine and Ashley....Let's not go there

Rachel, meanwhile, fires the first salvos of the shopping list kick off by asking if there was parmesan cheese on the list

Shane J warning BB about the incoming kick off when the shopping arrives, I personally wouldn't worry as BB are probably rubbing their hands as they would love a major kick off

Coming up.....A certain Mr. Bellend is squeezing some tears out

And Rachel is still in a moody for some reason, and off we go for Mr. Bellend squeezing out the tears

Task time.....

Team captains Andrew and Jess, namely the 'most gullible' housemates as voted for by the public...Of course there is a twist within a twist, it is up to the others to influence their respective captains to give as many wrong answers as possible. The most persuasive sex will win the task and win a reward.

Quickfire spellings....

Men - Shepherd, Confetti
Women - Caterpillar, Orangutan

What is the common name for Sodium Chloride?
Demonstrate a downward facing dog
How much is an average pint of milk
How many hours in 3 days
Demonstrate the worm

And straight to the result, and the winners are......THE WOMEN

Jess celebrates being 'an idiot', not generally a fan of celebrating idiocy but that was very lighthearted so I think we can let it go this time

And after the break, back to the Courtney/Andrew showmance

G and T party for the ladies, while talk in the garden turns to the Ashley and Ginuwine yawnmance...Get Ashley out on Friday if she is on the block, you know it makes sense so we can have some fresh storylines

Anne looking like she is loosening up, have a feeling there will be chicanery ahead to keep her in if she is in trouble as we have already lost India and it's hard to see where SOME drama is going to come from, but I like the peace and quiet myself...Calling BB a brute (Ann, that is, not me) as they will not allow the ladies to share the tea with the men

And yet again in this episode, back to yawnorama city aka Ashley and Ginuwine being discussed....

Meanwhile, back with Shane J and Andrew, some horseplay ensues which concludes with BB telling them not to put pillows on each other, and that's the end

Welcome back chalk board and while not as dramatic as billed, but I can take that and more of this harmonious house please.

No need for BB created hand grenades with this lot, as it will all come naturally soon....Just as long as BB keep away from that button labelled PANIC - DO NOT PRESS

All in all another good episode, and I hope you enjoy reading this as I have writing about it

But please can the viewers have some fresh storylines to work with soon, as some are not as patient as others and don't want the sole focus on showmances

However, as we progress through this series, it is HEAVEN not hearing constant talk about sex, sexual positions, who snogged who in Benidorm and general bed wetting

Thank you for that, BB, and please don't mess this series up as us people who love an old school series are counting on you....

Thank you for reading, and please leave comments if you like....Good night :)
