The road to the end begins

Greetings citizens for the final weekend of this particular series of CBB

When we last visited the housemates, Andrew, Johnny and Dapper had been evicted in a rare triple eviction and tonight we see the pre, during and after of said triple eviction

Tonight, the three evictees and the other housemates will face their final task together before the said three are turfed out

Should be a fun task tonight, so stay tuned and see what happens once this soccer show decides to finish

Day 25, and it's eviction day, but what they don't know is that it's a triple eviction (until Emma tells them of course)

Courtney hopes Dapper and Johnny and Andrew stays, fat chance of that ;) The bromance/showmance/yawnmance is over, finito, no more

Malika is rinsing Ashley's hair, whilst Johnny is in the Diary Room comparing his BB stay to a holiday in Ibiza. Well he did have his last TV job abroad, so understandable where he is coming from there and he was pretty much a Marmite character in that show as well as he is in there

On to today's task

The boys and the girls will take it in turns to experience BB's 'nightmare', just put a ranting she who is banned in there, that's the ultimate nightmare

The usual twist within a twist...

Johnny, Ashley and Andrew have to judge who has screamed more out of the men and the women, if they are correct they will win a reward for the whole house.

They choose the boys will scream the most, and off we go

Girls up first, and to be honest they are hardly flinching at all so all credit to them

The boys however, what a great bunch of wimps. Think we can safely say the whole house is getting a reward.

BB reveals that the girls screamed 6 times while the boys screamed 71 times

A satisfactory task overall for me personally, but a bit marmite looking out in forum and social media land....Come on dudes chill out, it's the final week let's all let our hair down and enjoy what we have left as we may not have the show after this year

Next up, a game of Would You Rather, another one that may not catch on I think, but something I have noticed about this series is that they are making their own games and not waiting for BB to provide them with something to do

Anne talks to Shane L about Christopher Lee's Dracula, don't ever remember Mr. Lee turning into a bat when he was the Count, but he did control bats in Scars of Dracula, maybe that's what she was referring to

Now for some waxing Dapper and Andrew style for Ashley, which causes her a bit of pain....She seems to have gotten over Ginuwine very quickly

Courtney runs through the living area in his underpants before jumping into the pool, Anne of course rolls her eyes, as she does

Anne off to the Diary Room to vent....Lighten up you miserable old bat, it's the final week. Just enjoy yourself and stop pissing on everyone else's fun

Eviction prep is underway, and Anne is in the garden talking to the camera

Straight to business and first out it's Andrew (But we knew that already, along with the other two)

Second out is Johnny, won't be missed

Third and final eviction is Dapper, another Marmite character who will be missed by some and not others

They didn't cut out the two clowns who breached the garden, surely there has to be a review coming up as it has been confirmed it was the same person who got in last time

Courtney in the Diary Room speaking about Andrew, and he admits he is missing Andrew....And here come some tears.

Andrew hasn't died you know, you'll see him in about 6 days time or sooner

BB has thrown a post eviction game probably to cause some friction and potential arguments, pick a random statement from one box, and a housemates name from another and complete a statement about them....Another one that's not destined to catch on I guess

Anne rolling her eyes again, and trying and failing to do her best Undertaker impression

Lots of talking about Anne behind her back, especially from Malika....Newsflash to Malika, at least Anne is doing stuff for us to talk about. What the hell have you done recently? Nothing? Nope thought not

Wayne and some of the girls apart from obviously Anne and Amanda are in the pool letting their hair down after a long day full of evictions and tasks

Talk returns to subject Anne, Courtney and Wayne talking about the eye rolling and Wayne is a bit pissed to say the least

Courtney sits alone in the garden mourning the three evictees and starts crying amidst the slow music, and that's a wrap for Saturday

An ok episode tonight and will be sad when it's all over on Friday, seriously I will

Anyone could win this series and that's what I like as it does tend to go flat when someone is plugged in to win from the start

Anyways, that's enough from me tonight and thanks for reading if you read this post and the blog and many thanks for the retweets and likes on Twitter, they are very much appreciated :)

Remember, someone is always watching even if we are not ;)

Until tomorrow......

Torn apart in a triple

Good evening citizens from a very rocky laptop, but am determined to get through this as there is a lot to cover, as in the small matter of a triple eviction tonight and hoping and praying this laptop won't restart itself at any point

Have taken off AVG Free and Spybot Search and Destroy, have set the time to check for updates for the very early hours when there's inactivity, and relying solely on Windows Defender to keep things ticking over as I type this

Back to the show and facing the public vote tonight will be COURTNEY, DAPPER, JOHNNY and ANDREW and the bromance/showmance WILL be broken up

Personally I'm not concerned to who actually goes, but I am intrigued to see what BB will do for the final week, as in will they make it the usual miserable final week or will we get a rare happy final week

They have surprised us all series in good ways and have to say I am loving it, and here's to hoping the final week IS a happy one whoever is in there

But please, housemates, don't let Anne indirectly dictate to you what you can and can't do...It's the final week, let your hair down and have fun. You don't have to ask her permission, comprende?

To say social media and forums will be feisty tonight, whether you are enjoying this series or not, would be a massive understatement

And here. we. go.

WHOOP WHOOP is officially unbanned then

Emma recaps the events leading up to tonight's triple eviction....

Momma Willis looking as hot as ever, luckily we in the UK have The Voice to keep appreciating her once CBB is done for this series

Andrew is still fuming about being nominated, and he moves to clear the air with Anne with some of the housemates watching proceedings from the living area

After some discussion, Andrew says he has forgiven Anne....But still calls her a witch out of her earshot

Next up, prize plum Jessica compares cucumber with salmonella....Turns out she was right all along, reveals Emma after this segment has ended

Dapper and Johnny come up with a game called The Show Lounge, and most of the housemates showcase their hidden talents

Musical Interlude with Courtney singing The Locomotion, and a game called Yes or No based on the first round of the ITV gameshow Take Your Pick which was presented by Des O'Connor

All they were missing was the gong when someone said yes or no

Another plug for the civilian series and auditions are open, must say I am pleased they are actually bothering with the civilian series instead of leaving it to rot like they have in previous years

Emma reveals it is a triple to the housemates

And first out tonight is.....ANDREW

No great surprise there, now let's see what BB will rustle up in terms of storylines for the final week...Not that I'm complaining as some will be about how this will apparently be 'the worst final week ever'

Anyone who thinks that should refer themselves to that red button on the remote control with the circle with the line through it, and just let those who want to watch this show through to next Friday watch the show

Back to the show, and here we go for eviction 2 tonight

Second to leave tonight is....JOHNNY

And we are down to Dapper and Courtney for the third and final eviction tonight, which will be revealed in the 2nd show

And the wait is finally over, we are off for part 2 and the third and final eviction of this evening

Dapper or Courtney will go, who stays we have decided

Straight to the house we go amidst a small wave of WHOOP WHOOP

The third and final evictee of this evening is.....DAPPER

Courtney makes it to the final week, much to the relief of many I would imagine on forums and social media

We have another invasion, as some people have made it into the garden...Heads are going to roll for this, that's twice now someone has got through the defences

Emma acknowledges during Dapper's interview that everyone is fine and everything is under control after person or persons unknown made it into the garden

During his interview, Dapper proposed to his girlfriend and she said yes

So that's a wrap and it's not vote to win quite yet as there is one more eviction to come on Tuesday, and laptop permitting I will be here as usual

Into the final week we go, and hope it's a happy one whatever happens...

Until next time, remember someone is always watching even if we are not.... :)

They've got the power (again)....

Good evening citizens and hopefully this laptop will hold up as I write this

When we last left our remaining housemates:


  • The battle of the sexes continued with the latest challenge, which does stretch into tonight's show
  • Housemates will be on basic rations until further notice as part of this challenge
  • Malika threatened to leave, but changed her mind later that evening
  • The girls won the right to have their letters from home after Rock Paper Scissors
  • Ginuwine was evicted, which left Ashley in tears
  • Andrew wanted to 'comfort' Ashley

And in case you missed it last night, I would seriously recommend the behind the scenes show that was on after the highlights

That crew really get it in the neck from some of us out here on occasions, but hats off to them as that was an excellent and enlightening behind the scenes show

I hope that wasn't a one off and we get more of the same in the summer when the civilians go in

And now onto tonight's show.....

Day 23 here we come, and 8 days left as of writing this and it's Nominations day and it's face to face (again)

Please can we just have normal nominations in the diary room in the summer, without all these twists....Pretty please, with a cherry on top

Ashley is talking with Anne about post war food rations, meanwhile Andrew and Courtney continue with the bromance.....Get Andrew out if he's on the block

Rarely seen Johnny is in the Diary Room talking about Ginuwine's departure, meanwhile Ashley doesn't seem to be missing the latest evictee much after she opened the flood defenses the night before when he went

Latest game they have made up, Film Title that describes your sex life.....Don't think it will catch on

Courtney wonders about his and Andrew's relationship, and ponders what his true feelings are....Yawn who gives a shit

During the break we get another push for the civilian series auditions, could it be they are finally going to put some average joes in there instead of the ones who have been on TV before especially reality shows? Only time will tell, and even Marcus is saying "....coming to get you"

Something I noticed on social media today was the official BB twitter page was following a certain Ma McCall, aka Davina to you and me.....I wonder, a true reset all across the board, wouldn't that be something. Just what the civilian series needs including and sorry to be a broken record, but LIVE FEED as well?

Back to this series and tonight's episode, sorry about that little tangent there but it sounds exciting for the summer....

The teams are summoned and next they have to start a fire in the rain

Representing the girls will be Malika, Jess and Amanda, and for the boys it will be Andrew, Courtney and Dapper

Fond memories of Michelle Bass nearly incinerating the diary room camera in the garden, and almost getting thrown out...Reference back to civilian series 5, IMO one of the best civilian series in the BBUK franchise

Under starters orders, and whoever gets the fire going long enough to toast a marshmallow will be declared the winner, and the winners are the boys taking the aggregate score to 1-1

Jess declares a medical emergency in the Diary Room, as she declares she has malnutrition and then proceeds to faux faint in the living area

Into the tiebreaker in the survival challenge we go, and it's Jess v Shane L, another rarely seen housemate and they have to forage 'stuff'

So a sort of treasure hunt, and Shane L wins the first round....Jess remarks and I quote "I'm too stupid sometimes", only sometimes Jess?

Next up it's find the fungus and Jess is off straight away and finds a mushroom, and off we go for a decider....

A colorful fruit that can be delicious, but sometimes poisonous so be suspicious

Jess is so close, yet she doesn't look up but does eventually notice and wins the badge and the girls win 2-1 on aggregate so have the power of nominations

And straight away (well after the break) we are onto said nominations, and it's face to face but you already knew that of course ;)

Anne nominates Courtney and Andrew
Amanda nominates Dapper and Courtney
Ashley nominates Courtney and Andrew
Jess nominates Johnny and Andrew
Malika nominates Johnny and Andrew

Andrew, Courtney, Johnny and Dapper on the chopping block

And it's a TRIPLE eviction, so guaranteed the bromance/showmance/yawnmance will be split up

Discussion around the house about the nominations, and Andrew not taking being on the block very well....I like to call it "How dare they nominate me"

Have to say though, think how more lively this house would be without Anne there, as she just reminds me of a certain someone from civilian series 8 who just sucked the fun out of that house, and it felt like they had to ask her permission to even go to the toilet

Anne discussion in the garden and even a certain c word gets used to describe her.....Andrew just rubber stamping his eviction tomorrow. But in some ways dam what Anne wants or thinks, just have FUN. You don't have to ask her permission, what happening with this lot, are their balls dropping off

Andrew still ranting to Courtney as the credits roll

Remember it's vote to SAVE, use your vote wisely and good luck to your favourites tomorrow

And that's another episode in the bag, and tomorrow 1 more week of this lot and then it's all over for this lot and the road starts to the civilian series

Loving this series, but please housemates just grow some balls and have some fun regardless of what SHE says

Until next time, and remember someone is always watching even if we are not

Sadness and Celebrations

In our last BB adventure:

  • The WHOOP WHOOP returned
  • Nominations and an eviction took place
  • A yawnmance was finally broken up
  • Social media and forums celebrated, but Ashley did not as we shall see tonight
  • A TRIPLE eviction was announced for Friday

And tonight we see the fallout from Ginuwine's departure and also the start of yet another battle of the sexes for letters from home and the right to nominate, which is in effect pointless as we all know they will all get their letters, even if they don't in this task and if they are still in there close to the end

9 days to go as of writing this post, the end is nigh for this series and for the first time in years I will be genuinely sad when it's over as I have enjoyed this series, despite very little live feed and no live updates for this series

Not everything on this show has to revolve around arguments or manufactured drama, remember that peeps when we start the road to the 2 summer series in Civilian and Summer CBB :)

And now on to the main event of the evening....

Day 22, and it's a new day in the house

Bugles sounding all around the house, and I'm not talking about the axe dropping on the show ;)

The start of a new task and it's battle of the sexes yet again

The Boy Squad and The Girl Squad, power of nomination is at stake and the captains,as voted by the viewers, are Wayne for the Boy Squad and Anne for the Girl Squad

Basic rations all round, and let's hope it stays that way and no parties for anyone unless they have earned it

No further provisions will be provided for the remainder of the task, announces BB

Anne puts Ashley and Jess on provision watch for the girls, and tells them not to take too much

Porridge and condensed milk for breakfast, call me picky but no thanks

Malika's whining in the Diary Room about this task, leave then stupid....Surely you knew what you were signing up for with this show....You know where the door is, eat the food or starve. The choice is yours

Part 1 of the survival task, housemates must build a raft from what BB have given them and it must float long enough to hold their letters from home

Boy Squad up first, and they are successful in balancing out their raft 

Girls up next, the raft is still afloat as the letters are piled on, another success

But hang on, there is a tie breaker and it's rock, paper and scissors to which the girls win so it will only be the girls who will have their letters

Hankies and violins at the ready everyone, you'd think they were stuck on the moon the way the tears are flowing. They'll be seeing these same people in a few days or sooner anyway.

And now the end of the yawnmance is upon us....again

Sofa gatherage and it's bye bye Ginuwine and bye bye to one of the yawnmances in there :)

Boo hoo Ashley, he hasn't died...You're just crying because your meal ticket of a storyline has gone out the door

And now Malika says she's not leaving, oh ho you will be once you are on the block for wasting everyone's time in threatening to leave

Gossip girls and Courtney in the bedroom talking about Anne....They do know they are increasing her chances of winning don't they? 

Anne gives the girls a pep talk ready for tomorrow's conclusion of the task for power and indeed nominations power

Political talk ensues as Jess says she is not an idiot and didn't vote for Brexit....Wow, such a rebel isn't she

Amanda looking as bemused as the rest of us, I remember this part of the talk from the end of the live feed last night....Makes a change from sexual conquests in Benidorm or comparing certain parts of the body I suppose

Button it Jess, you're boring the pants of everyone

Back in the living area, Courtney is talking to Wayne about his (Courtney) friendship/bromance/yawnmance with Andrew

And back to Ashley pining over losing her storyline, and then Andrew planning Operation Ashley now Ginuwine is gone....Hopefully Andrew is gone on Friday, the odious little twerp....You are NOT God's gift so please don't treat us like fools

And that's a wrap for this episode, stay tuned for CBB Behind the scenes

Some would say mercifully a night off from S**t on the Side, so enjoy the break ;)

Anyways, thanks for reading and hope you enjoy this latest post

Another good episode in the bag as we take another step towards February 2, and may I just say thank you BB for not rolling in the F and F for letters from home....Nice to see you are sticking to some of the shows fundamental rules so far, much appreciated :)

Until next time, folks, and remember someone is always watching even if we are not :)

Another one bites the dust....

When last we left the housemates, John had gone out in a back door eviction and tonight another housemate goes, this time out the front door

Both nominations and the eviction will take place on tonight's show, along with Emma interviewing both John and whoever leaves

Don't think there will be much in terms of highlights tonight as there is so much to get through in 1 hour

Let the party commence, and hopefully the crowd will be as well behaved as they have been so far, fingers crossed

3rd eviction show for this series, and there's the much loathed WHOOP WHOOP

Nominations to get the highlights (what there are of them) started

BB announces nominations will start shortly, really miss the days when they were gathered on the sofas for nominations and not lounging about everywhere

On the block:

Johnny (4 nominations)
Anne (3 nominations)
Dapper (3 nominations)
Ginuwine (3 nominations)
Wayne (3 nominations)

Dapper does his own eviction predictions in the form of a crappy rap

Sofa gatherage, to which BB announces who is on the block....Ginuwine out please, let's end the yawnmance, you know it makes sense

Referring back to the WHOOP WHOOP, looks like booing and baying is still banned so not all bad ;)

Anyways back to the show, and hopefully the last promotion of the yawnmance coming up if Ginuwine gets sent out tonight

Meanwhile Courtney and Andrew are in the jacuzzi, and shortly afterward Andrew moons to us in the sauna and we have the nudity we were warned about....Seriously how has Andrew escaped tonight, answers on a postcard please

Guess that's it for the highlights as Emma announces John will be interviewed after the next batch of short messages

Emma asks John about his attitude toward Andrew and Courtney's relationship, and we hear John's side of the story...Not going to talk about it too much as I don't want to stir up a potential hornet's nest, but let's just say it was clear and concise and he has somewhat set the record straight

And also one of the benefits of a back door exit, best bits where they should be in at the end of the interview :)

On to the eviction we go...Anne, Dapper, Ginuwine, Johnny or Wayne come on down, Emma is coming to get you

And finishing in 12th place is.....GINUWINE

Get in, result....No more yawnmance :) But we still have Andrew and Courtney in there, hopefully Andrew out next and THEN have some fresh storylines to see out this series

And to no great surprise, Emma almost immediately turns talk to the yawnmance....He'll be on the first plane back to America once this series is done

Hopefully Ashley won't be blubbing at losing her meal ticket to the mag deals on the Live Feed later this evening

Letters from home alert for tomorrow, and then a TRIPLE eviction on Friday

Hopefully the letters from home will be just that and not F and F going in to tell them everything going on out here

And that's a wrap and we take another step towards the February 2 finale

Remember, someone is always watching even if we are not ;)

Until next time.....

Backdoor Eviction for one.....

Fellow citizens, hello and many apologies for the lateness of this blog

Just after posting Sunday's show blog, the old hard drive basically gave out and left me up diarrhea drive without a saddle for most of Monday

To cut a long story short I only remembered I had one left yesterday evening just 30 minutes before yesterday's show, and hopefully this one in the laptop now will hold up until the fresh one arrives at some point today

Anyways back to yesterday's show

Into Day 20 we go and it's 5.30am and John and Anne are already up and about talking about the perils of being famous for whatever reason

Heavy snow in Borehamwood, as Wayne, Courtney, Andrew and Ashley do a little jig in the sauna...Meanwhile Ginuwine is talking about the time he was involved in a high speed chase

"Wayne is name dropping....again"

BB asks Malika if the girls are looking strong for the 2nd part of the challenge today, she remarks that Anne and Amanda are strong despite their age. She points out that 3 women have gone already and it's time for one of the men to go...Our sentiments out here exactly, Malika :)

Snow continues to fall in the garden, and meanwhile indoors Wayne is getting some housemates to dance with him while Shane L, Johnny and Andrew look on from the smoking area...Anne is snoozing on the sofa while all this takes place.

Andrew and Courtney are discussing the rules of engagement in the smoking area....

On to the next part of the challenge to determine who leaves out of the back door, and first a furious flashback to yesterday in which Ashley and Jessica won it for the women with an endurance time of 47 minutes

Ginuwine, John and Wayne are sitting this one out to even up the numbers between the numbers, oh dear the podiums are out....please let this be pleasant

Thankfully it is pleasant, as first up its a Krypton Factor style challenge where they have to build a cube from several different shaped building blocks

Malika and Ashley v Andrew and Shane L

And it's the girls who are victorious, making that 2-0 to the girls on aggregate

Next up, colours and the boys have it all to do to catch the girls

Basically, it's a test of sight as they have to say the colour of the font the word is in....Example: BLUE = RED...Courtney absolutely blitzes that to give the boys a strong chance of clawing back the deficit

Anne is next and she only makes one or two colors before conceding to Courtney, making it 2-1 to the girls

Next it's a game of focus and memory, and they have to count how many times the BB eye appears correctly on the plasma

Amanda and Jess v Dapper and Johnny

Amanda and Jess guess 37
Dapper and Johnny guess 38

BB reveals the answer as 33

And the girls take the win with a result of 3-1, so therefore it will be Dapper or John that will be leaving via the back door later in the day

Dapper and Johnny having a post mortem in the smoking area, hope it's Dapper but not getting my hopes up

The girls are summoned to the task room and BB reveals to them that they have to jettison John or Dapper

After much deliberation, they settle on evicting John.....Slightly disappointed with that one, as we didn't see much of John and it would have been nice to hear some stories from his soccer days, but alas it wasn't to be and it's bye bye John

Sofa gatherage and it's official, John is going out the back door and then there were 12 for now

John leaves to the tune of You'll Never Walk Alone, and he looks happy to go as he speaks to BB before exiting stage left

Dapper looking absolutely stunned that he was saved, he's Marmite as in either love him or hate him

Back in the house, debate continues about the choice to evict John

5 minutes later (house time) bedroom arrangements are fully underway as the debate begins to see who gets John's bed, and its decided Wayne will do the honours

Courtney and Andrew engage in some horseplay as they chase each other through the house

Back in the smoking area, the boys are discussing some of Anne's views whilst in the living area BB announces more refreshments are available to which there are some cheers

On to the final part of yesterday's show, and it's party time in the house as the drink is flowing and Dapper's favourite tune is being piped into the house

Meanwhile in the bedroom Anne and Amanda discuss the events of the day, Amanda simply says she doesn't want to party while Anne says she doesn't like the noise

Both of them discuss who may be playing a game in which Andrew and Ashley amongst others are mentioned

Andrew and Courtney are with Dapper in the smoking area, shortly afterwards Dapper heads back into the house and discusses with some of the others if Andrew and Courtney are in love or if it's just a bromance

Some brief conversation back with Andrew and Courtney, and that's end credits for this episode

Bit of a flat back door eviction if I'm being honest, but a good episode again none the less as it's nice to see BB can put their minds to things other than stirring when they dust off those podiums

Again, my apologies for the lateness of this blog and hopefully back to normal this evening as we have another eviction to look forward to, and hopefully we will decide who goes this time

As Rylan said on S**t on the Side, there are 5 on the block and as of writing this blog 2 have been revealed, the other 3 will be revealed on tonight's show

Won't say the names out loud in here just in case anyone is waiting for showtime to find out the 5 during the show

How the eviction will be handled tonight is anyone's guess so until then, thanks for reading and remember someone is always watching even if we are not

Until tonight....

Sunday, 21 January 2018

Axe or no axe.....

And the answer is NO AXE (at least not yet) despite what the Daily Star put on their front cover

Usual fear mongering from the toilet tabloids, as bosses have not said either way about the show's future

Ah the Daily Star who came up with the exorcist storyline when Wolfy claimed she saw a demon or claiming the house was haunted by Jade Goody and David Gest

Who says the Daily Sport is full of shit when the Daily Star is just as bad if not worse

Not that I read the Sport of course, as I'm just quoting something Ade Edmondson said on the Bottom Fluff video tape

In fact the media should be more responsible, as they were VERY irresponsible a few weeks ago when they all reported former housemate Rebekah Shelton aka Rodrigo from BB10 had died without verifying everything first

Social media and forums went absolutely bat shit crazy paying their respects until Rebekah came along basically saying her account had been hacked, causing a lot of retractions and confusion and whether it was a stunt or not we will never know

Can I just stress I am not implying in any way I think that it was, just that we don't have the full facts on this and it would be unfair to judge

Please papers and media, please be more careful who you pay attention to when reporting the kind of stories like above...Your responsibility is to the truth and facts and not cause mass panic or pain

Back to tonight's show and it's time for a good old fashioned backdoor eviction

Basically it's men against women with 2 from each being nominated, and they have to take part in some challenges with the overall winners having to nominate one of the other team to go out the back door

No we don't get a say in this one, but we do see the result in tomorrow's show and then Toofy (Rylan) interviews them on S**t on the Side

Hopefully this evening's result won't leak out and they manage to keep it on lockdown until tomorrow's show, as it adds that element of surprise

Hopefully we will get a say in the Tuesday eviction, so on with tonight's feast of fun as we head one step closer to the February 2 finale

When we last left the housemates, Rachel and Maggie had been evicted and BB attempted to stir with a debate game...Sure there was a few raised voices but wouldn't call it a kick off as such

Please don't be mean tweets and outside information tonight

Courtney tweezering something from Amanda, and then we have a recap of last night's apparent kick off

Ashley and Anne are clearing the air apparently, Ashley stating how Anne apparently picked on her (Ashley)...Anne says if things rub her the wrong way, she will lash out

Johnny says it's mad how things go from one extreme to another in the house, welcome to the show in the Five era, Johnny....

This weekend, as stated, it is men v women with one housemate ultimately going out the backdoor

A technicolor wheel is introduced with MAYBE, SAFE and NOMINATED on it, first up its the ladies deciding on the men

After much debating and voting:

Courtney - All of them agree he is in no danger so SAFE
Dapper - NOMINATED
Ginuwine - Of course Ashley wants to keep him safe, can't think why....SAFE 
Johnny - SAFE (for now)
Wayne - SAFE (for now)
Barnesie - NOMINATED
Andrew - SAFE
Shane L - SAFE



Anne controlled all that very well, then again she is used to debating given her day job

Coming up next the two women to go on block are decided, and let's hope this is as diplomatic as what we have just seen

The men's choices are very predictable

Anne and Amanda join Dapper and Barnesie on the block

Switch to BB telling them who is on the block, but not telling them someone is going out of the backdoor

Looking good so far it's NOT mean tweets or outside information, please don't let us down BB :)

First challenge is endurance, and it's holding a feather in their arms for the longest time without bending their arms or dropping the feather

Wayne, Andrew and Amanda eliminated first

Johnny out next, followed by Anne

Malika and Dapper out next

Courtney eliminated, so it's 1-0 to the women as Ashley and Jess have survived with a time of 47 minutes

Ashley feels really good as she celebrates in the Diary Room, then Anne talks to BB about girl power

Now we move onto massages and a chance for BB to showcase the yawnmance again

Movng swiftly on, lots of daddy talk in the living area, meanwhile Anne is talking about her mother to Amanda in the bedroom

Coming up, Wayne talks tough

Off we go for the final part, and Dapper is talking baby talk....Moving swiftly on

Andrew says Dapper talks this when he is on the block, meanwhile Ashley asks Dapper about certain jokes from his past and apparently sets the record straight

Back to Andrew and Wayne and talk is still about Dapper

Dapper now in the Diary Room explaining why he thinks he is nominated

And that's end of show, and thankful we have had no mean tweets or outside info as I have been worried BB would chuck that in during these challenges, but there is still tomorrow yet and of course the small matter of who goes

Anyways onto tomorrow and one from ANNE, AMANDA, DAPPER OR BARNESIE will go out the back door...Who goes, the housemates decide

Until tomorrow, citizens, and remember there is always someone watching even if we are not :)
