Big Brother USA 2018 - Episode 30 - HoH and nominations 10

Outgoing HoH - Angela

Evicted - Faysal (4-1)

Battle back winner - Scottie

Tonight.....

JC is a mastermind edit tonight it would seem, when he's really not. Will be a pleasure when those Level 6 knives find their way into his little back

Opening credits tonight, and we pick up the action after Scottie has gone back into the house, and will probably only be a brief stay with Level 6 looking to send him or Haleigh out

Scottie is very happy to be back, and who can blame him, but knows Level 6 will see him as a big threat. JC is none too pleased to see him back, as JC seems to be taking the credit for getting Scottie out in the first place.

Haleigh says she is heartbroken that Faysal is gone. You can do a lot better than him, Haleigh.

Brett is hoping it is a physical competition like bench pressing or throwing beer kegs for the HoH competition.

JC continues to get in Level 6's ear about winning HoH, oh boy his little face will be a picture when they cut him good and proper.

HoH competition

Usual rules, outgoing HoH in this case Angela is not eligible to play. A very crucial competition for Haleigh and Scottie, as if they don't win this one Level 6 will put them on the block without a second thought. It's endurance for this competition, and basically the houseguests, except Angela, have to hang onto a rope while going round in a circle. Along the way there will be a collision with a huge cherry pie, not a real one of course, and it does pack quite a wallop should they crash into it also Big Brother will be throwing mustard, ketchup and feathers as well so will be quite amusing, if not a little dangerous along the way. READY? AND WE ARE OFF....

Order of elimination:

JC

Sam

Scottie

Brett

Kaycee

Haleigh

Winner and new HoH - TYLER

Another familiar pattern emerging this week, as in Level 6 picking off another one from the other side, as no prizes for guessing who Tyler will put up.

It should be noted that Haleigh took a pretty hard hit in this competition, but took it like a trooper so no need for medical assistance.

Next up after they have all cleaned up as in cleaned themselves off after that competition, Haleigh seems upset that Sam was not cheering for Tyler, but cheering against her. Along comes the so called little mastermind to plant some more seeds to get Haleigh and Sam against each other

Meanwhile Tyler and Angela's alleged showmance is being teased some more as they discuss putting up Haleigh and Scottie, perhaps as expected from most outside. Tyler is reluctant to commit to a showmance, so it doesn't distract from his game.

Staying with Level 6, Kaycee talks about coming out as gay to her parents which she breaks down with tears as she describes the exact moment it happened.

Haleigh knows she is going up, she asks Tyler who she will be going up against. She suggests Sam as she could be a bigger target. Scottie starts his doomed to fail plan to buddy up with Tyler. 

Little mastermind or so he thinks as in JC now in Brett's ear and tries to plant more seeds to try and get Brett to turn against his alliance. Tyler is thankfully on to JC, so hopefully soon they can get to work on getting the little snake out in the open and send him to the jury house.

Nominations ceremony

Unsurprisingly, Haleigh and Scottie are nominated pre-Veto. Nuff said

To be continued in episode 31, Power of Veto 10, where it won't make much difference as the other side of the house will be down to one whatever happens. 

Final thoughts

Bullshit edit where apparently JC is this really smart mastermind when he is not, given what has come out in the media lately about him and the way he is acting in the house. Very reliable source said it was put to the vote to keep him in amongst the producers and he had a stay of execution and will not be removed. Won't go into too much detail about what he has done in there as it is pretty disgusting, but hopefully soon he will be gone at the houseguests hands. 

Another comfortable week coming for Level 6, as the Veto is just irrelevant whoever wins as the other side of the house will be down to one whatever happens and whoever survives this week is going to be going next week, and then it's Level 6 all the way to the end. It's amazing how dominant Level 6 have been this season, but then again the other side of the house have just made it so easy for Tyler and his little group.

CBB UK Summer 2018 - Episode 20 - Letters or No Letters

Another small step towards the end we go, and tonight sees Jermaine leave the house. We will also see letters from home, or at least some of them anyway and the main subject of the episode in some of them rounding on Hardeep.

Lights on in the house and off we go for a brand new day, and Big Brother is telling them to rise and shine.

Kirstie, Gabby and Sally are cleaning the kitchen, and there are some complaints about how filthy it is as there is food wastage all over the worktop. Sally is particularly vocal and insinuates Hardeep is being lazy.

Next up, everyone has been gathered around the dining table for today's task. Here's how it will work:

Big Brother challenges them to maintain a positive and professional image for the rest of the day. This will involve no swearing, no negativity towards each other, they are encouraged to give compliments to each other and just generally remain upbeat at all times. If they do this to Big Brother's satisfaction, then housemates will win a party for later in the evening.

The task begins almost immediately and they all start being 'nice' to each other, even if some of them do show it through gritted teeth.

Gabby says she stubbed her toe coming out of the bathroom with a big smile on her face, but remember they have to be nice as per the task

Hardeep is summoned to the Diary Room, and as part of today's task is given some accessories to put on his beard. We see some short clips where he walks around the house showing these accessories off to the other housemates. Remember, the housemates have to be nice.

Kirstie, meanwhile, has to 'endorse' a certain type of face mask which is made up of cheeses. Big Brother says she must tell everyone else how she would recommend the face mask to them.Think you get the picture by now that they have to be nice

Jermaine has to 'endorse' an aftershave called 'foreplay' which is made up of fish sauce, and he has to wear it throughout the day.

In the garden Ryan, Dan and Jermaine are feeling a little unwell. Enter Hardeep who is suggesting chicken for dinner. Hardeep insists he has cooked the chicken properly, and says it is something viral affecting the other 3. Hardeep is hammering the chicken in the kitchen.

Time for letters from home, and Sally is given the task of finding the housemates letters from home.

12 sealed boxes, letters from home, just one question, Letters or no Letters. 8 of the boxes contain letters, 4 letters contain red X's. If Sally finds 3 of the X's, all the letters she has found will be lost automatically and this part of the task is failed. Who are we kidding, we know they will get their letters anyway at a later time even if they don't get them in this task, and if they are still in there near the end.

Box 2 - Hardeep

Box 5 - X

Box 9 - Gabby

Box 7 - Ryan

Box 12 - Dan

Box 1 - X

Box 11 - X

All letters lost, but we know they won't be....

Sally says she feels dreadful, and wants to do something to make sure they do get the letters

Surely if these people have watched this show before, they WILL get their letters. Chill out housemates, it's not the end of the world.

And as if by magic, Big Brother conjures something else up to make sure some of them get their letters. Housemates have to pitch their own suggestion to which 3 housemates should get their letters.

Of course Ryan is picked to no great surprise, Dan's name crops up as well along with Gabby so they are the 3 names who will receive their letters

And the usual flood of tears as the 3 letters are read out, they've been on longer holidays than this and will be seeing these people anyway in a few days time if not sooner.

Can't say I agree with Dan being chosen, he has really respected his wife and kids hasn't he by constantly flirting with Gabby in there. Ryan was no shock as there are still shockwaves around THAT 'incident', and Gabby is just there really and not done anything of note.

Party time as they have passed the task, little do they know they are about to be crashed by a very familiar voice

They are allowed to hear the RYAN chants as Jermaine is announced as evicted, as outside contact has been minimal this series, I am prepared to let this one slide so moving swiftly on......

Hardeep is the talk of the house, as Sally points out she wouldn't want to be up against him in a public vote. Dan complains that Hardeep apparently doesn't care and doesn't even want to be in there and he apparently doesn't give a shit that Jermaine is gone. You shouldn't even be in there at all, pal, and don't forget if you are missing Jacqueline and the kids so much why aren't you out there with them, you know trying to save your marriage, and not flirting every chance you get with Gabby.

In the bedroom, Sally and Ryan are talking about Hardeep, who else......She is basically telling Ryan about Hardeep's earlier comment about her bunions, something which Ryan takes literally as 'disrespectful' 

At this point, Ryan storms off unnecessarily to Hardeep to confront him about said comment and accuses Hardeep of being 'disrespectful'. Ryan has let that chanting go to his head, and he above all should know the dangers of labels in that house as he just had a shedload of them to deal with. Could he throw it all away at the death?

He seems to be throwing it away as he is really laying into Hardeep over something really trivial

To be continued in Episode 21, and coming up it's Killer Nominations which will be elaborated on in the next recap

Final thoughts

Ryan undoing all that sympathy in a matter of minutes with Hardeep. Has he forgotten that the mob's reaction means diddly squat as that's only a very small portion of the audience out there in the compound. May have done his chances of winning a lot of damage and really needs to button it. Hardeep is still there, so he must be doing something right although he does tend to go up against people more loathed. Will be interesting to see what these killer nominations will rustle up as it's obvious Hardeep will be on the block AGAIN, just a matter of seeing who will join him.

CBB UK Summer 2018 - Episode 19 - The House Cook v The Rat

And off we go again for another episode, and tonight will see the departure of Hardeep or Jermaine. Emma will be conducting an interview with *sigh* Roxanne, not that she deserves one of course, given her lies and fabrications nearly ruined Ryan's career and reputation

Good luck, Emma, I don't envy you your job in this episode

Opening credits, and it's over you to Emma. The crowd is very silent as it's a surprise eviction, so thankfully none of that Whoop whoop tonight.

Emma tells us that the housemates think the eviction is happening the day after, and we see the housemates enjoying a party on the big screen within the compound. Fond memories of when Stu from regular series 5 was evicted from the diary room during a party.

Shortened highlights for this episode as we have HER interview to get through, and off we go

Day 2 of the shopping task, and pets are now allowed to speak to their owners. But the rules regarding pets being on the furniture, and pets only having meals prepared by their owners are still in place.

Dan has got running bottom and a bad stomach after a dodgy meal and says he is feeling ruff. Old corny joke I know, but got to have some laughs.before HER interview comes along

The full rules of this task are in the previous post, to cut a long story short Dan and Gabby must bark every time the doorbell sounds and Nick must go into his shell every time the bird of prey sound is played into the house.

Sally must catch the mice that come into the house, the remote on that thing is still dodgy as the mouse now crashes into one of the sunbeds.

Nick goes to the Diary Room and says he is not enjoying wearing his outfit and says he doesn't sound like a happy tortoise. Nearly over, Nick, hang in there.

Lots of animal puns from Marcus in his commentary, I may add.

Sally tries to console Ryan after the last few days, as it has been draining for him, them and us. Hopefully once her interview is done, we can finally move on with what's left.

For the next part of the task, Kirstie must answer some questions in the Diary Room, and Jermaine must repeat the answer he thinks she said. The reward is a treat for the house.

2 out of 5, so no treat this time, but I suspect they will get the Luxury budget anyway. This is one of the easiest shopping tasks ever, no way they can fail this....or can they?

Housemates incurred 16 fails, but the total in the envelope is revealed as 40. And to no surprise they have passed this week's shopping task, well they had to pass one of them didn't they, so fair result all around really.

Dan says he is feeling a lot better after his illness earlier, and then we move into another sensitive subject as in race. Another heated conversation between Ryan and Hardeep. Won't go into details, as everyone will have a different view of about this conversation and we've had enough bloodshed in the last few days. Let's just end this series in peace, but you have to give props to BB. You name the topic, BB has had it covered in this series and in January, which is what BB should be about. Pass this on to those casual fans who only tune in at the first sniff of an argument or controversy. There is more to this show than getting them drunk and throwing a shit stirring task, just for the sake of a few manufactured arguments.

Back to house action, and we move into the customary argument of sorting out the shopping list. Hardeep brings the subject around to food banks, and Dan tells him to start moaning. The same Dan, might I add, who has in the past threatened to knife an ex girlfriend if she started to see another bloke. Lots of bitching about Hardeep ensues between Ryan, Sally and Dan, and Dan calls him an idiot. Obviously behind his back.

Big Brother announces Hardeep and Jermaine to be on the block, Hardeep is getting used to this now. But I suspect it will be goodbye to the rat in the second show, as we still have HER interview to come in this first show.

Jermaine says he was expecting to be on the block, and won't take it personally. He refers to Hardeep as 'the sherminator' as Hardeep has survived over Natalie, Ben and Chloe. Don't fancy your chances tonight, Jermaine, you lowdown rat. Hardeep is only still in there because the person he sits on the block with is more loathed than him.

And it's time, folks, the interview nobody wanted to see and Emma didn't want to do, but thanks to a certain controller strong arming Endemol into this interview. Click here for the interview. Won't write it up, just click on the link provided and make up your own mind. Said all I am going to say about her, and will leave it at that

Will say more in the final thoughts shortly, but will say Emma wasn't swallowing anything of what she was saying. More later.

On to the second part, and it's eviction time

Eviction

Some BOTS promotion with Emma talking to Rylan, and the BOTS audience are equally quiet as well.

Here we go, and Emma is outside with the crowd and they are now in full voice for Ryan as she goes live to the house

She announces the next evictee is JERMAINE, thankfully we were spared the sight of Hardeep going out in his boxers as he was in bed.

Chorus of boos for the rat as expected from the mob outside. Go get him, Emma, his comeuppance is long overdue. Oh boy, and get him she does as she drags him about the Chloe situation, and he is absolutely sweating buckets and squirming his ass off. 

As Rylan said earlier in the show, it is a letters from home task for the next show and obviously will be written up in the next post.

Final thoughts

Star of the night has undoubtedly gone to Emma Willis, took absolutely no shit from Roxanne or Jermaine in their interviews, and earned a very strong drink. Is it too early to say Chat Show for Emma, or maybe National Television Award. So many are critical of her interview technique, but tonight she really earned her stripes. You could see she didn't want to do that interview with Roxanne, and just the way she closed that particular interview by just removing her mic and giving no hug to Roxanne

Right person was evicted, and Emma shone again not letting up on him for a second

CBB UK Summer 2018 - Episode 18 - Pets are us and nominations

After an extremely difficult 72 hours, it's back to business in the Big Brother house as we take another small step towards crowning this series winner

Won't go into any details about the last 72 hours, as it's been talked about to death on social media and forums, so we'll press on with this episode which is thankfully a lot of lighter content all round. They and we really need this, so off we go for the next shopping task

Lights on in the house and we are off straight away for the next shopping task for this series

The living area has been made into BB's Pet Boutique

The rules:

Five housemates will become pets, and the rest are owners

Pets must not talk to their owners in the same room

Pets are permitted to speak to each other when owners are not present

Pets are not allowed to be on the furniture in the house and garden

Dan, Gabby, Nick, Jermaine and Sally have been chosen to be the pets

Sally - Cat (Owner: Ryan)

Jermaine - Parrot (Owner: Kirsty)

Nick - Turtle (Owner: Kirsty)

Dan - Dog (Owner: Hardeep)

Gabby - Dog (Owner: Hardeep)

The number of fails is sealed in an envelope and that will be opened at the end of the task. If they go over the number of fails within the envelope, it's basic budget. Under and it's a luxury budget.

During the duration of the task, Nick is only permitted to move at tortoise pace and Jermaine must parrot back anything his owner says to him. The owners have been given water sprays to discipline their pets.

Ryan says Sally the cat is a bit temperamental, and feels Ben has missed out as he would have loved this task. Can you imagine him and Roxanne doing this task? Perish that thought

On a serious note, Ryan says it is time to move on after the last few days.

Pets are only allowed to eat meals prepared for them by their owners, and from their own bowls.

Ryan is tickling his cat's stomach, while Jermaine is in the Diary Room saying he is happy to still be there, but STILL doesn't acknowledge what he did with Chloe. Hopefully Emma will pull him up on that if he comes out before finale night, his comeuppance is long overdue.

Back to Ryan and his cat and he takes her outside where the dog barks at the cat.

Ryan and Kirstie are discussing THAT 'incident' if you can call it that, Ryan gives his account of events and he is less than happy she tried to slander him. Not going to discuss that further for reasons explained. Ryan and Hardeep then have a heated argument about very little.

Hardeep and Kirstie are preparing lunch for their pets. Lots of so poor they are good impressions as the pets are not allowed to communicate while owners are in the room. 

Hardeep is feeling sorry for himself in the lounge in regards for nominations, doesn't take a genius to work out he will be up, but the second one is harder to call.

For this week's nominations, the pets are gathered in the Pet's Boutique and the owners in the Living Room.

Nominations

Dan

Hardeep 

Reason: He can be quite snappy. He snapped at me once, at the table, and him and Sally snap at each other quite a lot. That's the only bit of tension that's left in the house, really.

Sally

Reason: The main digging at each other is always been Hardeep and Sally, so I think if I'm going to put Hardeep up for nomination for it, it's only fair that I nominate Sally for it as well. It just makes you feel a bit uncomfortable when it's happening, everyone goes a bit quiet, and I think that's the only awkwardness really in the house.

Gabby

Nick 

Reason: Sometimes he behaves in a not very nice way. I was in a conversation with Nick the other day and he called Roxanne 'poisonous'. It just made me think 'oh s***, I wonder what people say about me when I'm not around'. So it made me feel a little bit uncomfortable and a little bit wary of his thoughts and opinions of me.

Hardeep

Reason: There's been a few times when he's thrown his dummy out of the pram when he hasn't had a reaction from people that he likes. As you can see, I'm a dog today, and Hardeep was my owner. Which was all fine and dandy until he was making lunch, had a moan at me about it, and then five minutes later will come and be really nice to me, I just don't know whether I'm coming or going.

Hardeep 

Sally 

Reason: She's not made a secret that she isn't particularly fond of me and has a thinly veiled disdain. She's just quite sharp with me and I think unnecessarily, I'd say rude, I'm sure she wouldn't think that, but dismissive. What makes civil society work is that we have bite our tongues, we have to get on, else the whole thing falls apart. My least favourite kind of person is the sort of person that says 'I'm just honest, if you don't like it, it's your problem'. It's not- it's your problem.

Ryan

Reason: Earlier this afternoon, Kirstie and Ryan were discussing a situation with Roxy that I didn't want to know anything about. But they've decided to have this conversation literally over the top of me, he's on his bed, she's on hers and I'm in the bed in the middle and they're talking over me as if I'm not in the room. It happens quite often here, and it's fine, maybe I'm just used to being a little bit more important, and maybe it's good that I have my pomposity pricked.

Jermaine

Nick 

Reason: I feel he doesn't participate in activities that don't involve tasks. I would say he's the least entertaining person in the house because it's twenty-four hours a day stuck in a confined place with no electronics, no nothing, no TV, no outside world so it gets very very boring. The more entertainment in here, the better the experience will be.

Gabby

Reason: I thought we were very close, I thought we had a good bond. So when she voted for me to be evicted, it didn't sit too well. I got a little bit upset, not to the stage where I was going to cry, but I thought we were close.

Kirstie 

Hardeep 

Reason: His incessant use of puns and jokes at the end of anyone's utterance has driven me cuckoo. Then I saw him flare up today and said 'you guys just talk over me' and it was like 'talk over you? He asked me a question and I'm answering his question'. I'm just exhausted with the dramas.

Jermaine 

Reason: Well, Jermaine was spending a lot of time with Chloe, and he has a significant other. I thought it was unethical. Actually, I thought it was reckless. Reckless with some girl's heart- meaning his significant other.

Nick 

Hardeep 

Reason: Bit of a curve ball for me, I suppose, but any sort of niggles, or arguments that are occurring at the moment are largely around Hardeep, and this is a constant daily occurence where he's getting upset with somebody. We've been here for long enough for him to be able to adapt to that, and he hasn't.

Jermaine 

Reason: He is one of the group of noisier housemates. He often wakes me up when he comes to bed. When I was Jermaine's age and younger, I would have been more interested in having the party than going to bed, but the focus is on the enjoyment, there's no consideration for the other housemates in the room at that time.

Ryan

Hardeep 

Reason: It's a collective of his snoring, his breaking wind, his not-so-funny jokes, his awkward outbursts. I was having a conversation with Kirstie today and then Hardeep decided to be all funny about it and say 'I'd like you to involve me in the conversation, I'm just sitting here listening to you two'. I'm like 'where did that come from?!'. Where did this atmosphere all of a sudden come from? It's just out of the blue for me.

Jermaine 

Reason: Someone I'm very fond of. But the situation with him telling us that he had a wife only as Chloe was leaving, or up for eviction, I think he's been a little bit disrespectful to his wife. I just don't know how he can say that was just banter. I think he knows himself as well, I think he knows that it's not completely ok.

Sally

Hardeep 

Reason: This is the easiest one for me to do. Hardeep's had a couple of outbursts while cooking. He does a great job cooking, but he can get very angry and very huffy. I don't like the way that when he's cooking, he shouldn't cook half-naked. He knows the fat's going to fly into his tummy, he's going to get burnt. I mean, let alone the fact that he is very very very hairy, and you should avoid the hair going in the food, but there you go. He still continues to have flatulence at night in bed, quite bad, and I've forgotten what day it was now, only the other day, he walked past me and farted. You know, he could have held that in, but it was deliberate, because he looked at me, I looked at him, and he walked out into the garden. It's like someone putting a finger up to you, really.

Jermaine 

Reason: He comes in from the hot tub at night, and very very noisy. It's called a bedroom, isn't it? To go to sleep. To go to bed. And it wakes me up. And because of that, he is tired the next day, and then breaks the rules that all of us have to keep to. So I find that very inconsiderate.

As the vote toppers, Hardeep and Jermaine will face the public vote

Back to the shopping task, and Dan and Gabby have to bark when they hear the doorbell chime, which they do with gusto.

When Nick hears the bird of prey sound, he must hide in his shell until it's safe, and off it goes

Sally the cat must chase mice as her part of the task, somebody mucked up with the remote control as the mouse smashed into one of the garden trees and then into one of the many windows but still managed to get away. The second one is not so successful as it smashes into the wall next to the hole and Sally catches it

After Hardeep prepares the meals for the pets, he breaks down in the Diary Room due to being nominated yet again and tells us his reasoning of his love for cooking.

Nick next up in the Diary Room, and Big Brother challenges him to sing a song in front of the other housemates. Not the best singer in the world, but he does his best I suppose. He wins back the power of speech between pets and owners from tomorrow.

Final thoughts

Shopping task heavy episode to lift the gloom after recent events. Not much else to say really, but it was much needed. Probably the easiest luxury budget, surely they can't mess this up

In case you missed it, Roxanne WILL be interviewed by Emma on the eviction. Apparently Endemol didn't want her anywhere near the show but someone higher up on Five 'insisted' she be on the show.

Said all I needed to about HER, but I WILL try and cover her interview tomorrow and will try to stay calm in the process.

Big Brother USA 2018 - Episode 29 - Eviction 9 and Jury Battle Back

• Outgoing HoH - Angela
• Nominated - Faysal and Haleigh
• Veto Winner - Kaycee
• Kaycee did not use the Veto, so nominations have stayed the same

Highlights will be brief in this episode as there is a lot to get through with the eviction, and then the Battle Back, featuring Bayleigh, Angie, Scottie and Faysal or Haleigh

Tonight...

Faysal and Haleigh think one of their games is coming to an end, what they don't know is that tonight it's Jury Battle Back night, and all may not be lost. Welcome to Big Brother.

No opening credits as we head straight into Julie's introduction

We pick up the action straight after the Veto meeting.

Kaycee first up as she explains that she did not use the Veto, as Haleigh and Faysal are big competitors of Level 6 and by keeping the nominations the same one of them will go to jury. As Darth Vader once said, "All too easy", and it basically is for Level 6 at the moment. Will be interesting when they have to turn on each other, watch this space for that.

Faysal, as usual, being the big dummy that he is when it comes to this game. Haleigh meanwhile wonders how she can keep herself in this game, without hurting Faysal, Girl, please, you can do a lot better than him when you get out of there.

Another argument brews between the so called happy couple, as he is mad about her spending time with Level 6. It's a free house, Faysal, she can go wherever she likes without checking in with you first. Haleigh is torn about honouring Faysal's wishes and her own game. Own game would be the better option, Haleigh.

Away from the less than happy couple, Brett is pitching his final 2 deal to Tyler. Oh boy, this is going to be messy if Tyler doesn't handle things well with all his other deals.

Julie calls a break

Back to house action, and JC plans getting people on his side of the house. This guy thinks he is such a mastermind in there, it's going to be fun watching all those knives land in his back sooner rather than later and to see his little face when it happens. He is very confident about having a new puppet as he has bragged so much this season about Faysal being his puppet.

Eviction time

HoH and Nominees not allowed to vote

Tyler votes to evict Faysal

Brett votes to evict Faysal

Sam votes to evict Haleigh

JC votes to evict Faysal

Kaycee votes to evict Faysal

Faysal evicted 4-1

So it will be Bayleigh, Angie, Scottie and Faysal for the Battle Back in a few minutes

To cut a long story short for his interview, the great big goof admits he made a few mistakes in the house, and also that he regrets not taking a shot at Tyler or Angela. He hopes his showmance with Haleigh will continue outside of the house.

Julie announces to him that he will participate in a Battle Back competition for the chance to go back in, and again play for the grand prize

And now for some jury house footage as Bayleigh, Angie and Scottie make their way to the jury house, and look over the highlights the public have been watching. All the idiots converging in one place, should be a fun vote at the end.

Battle Back

Julie goes live to the house and tells them about the Battle Back, but they will not be allowed to see the competition and will find out who returns in due course.

The competition is called Big Top Drop and here is how it works. The 4 jurors must retrieve coloured balls into their respective tubes. Once they have done that, they must go and push the buzzer on the other side of the yard. First juror to do that goes back in the house to compete for the grand prize.

Very quick competition ensues and the winner is SCOTTIE

He tells Julie he plans to try and buddy up with Tyler. God luck with that, pal

A short time later the house doorbell rings and Scottie walks in to a great reception and loads of hugs. Game on for him again, but I can't see this stay being too long.

Julie plugs the upcoming shows as we take another step towards the end of this season.

To be continued in episode 30, when the 10th HoH of this season is crowned and they make their nominations

Final thoughts

Not much to say really apart from I do hope Scottie enjoys his brief stay in there, as Level 6 look to squash another member of the other side of the house.

CBB UK Summer 2018 - Episode 17 - The Trilogy is Complete, Roxanne has fled

On what should have been Ben's moment, has been taken away by Roxanne as you will soon find out

Advisory: This post may be a bit emotional as the episode that was aired

Lights on and it's eviction day in the CBB house, and Ryan is still reeling from Roxanne's insinuations

If you saw yesterday's episode, Roxanne spread her poison about Ryan to her plaything Ben, Dan,Gabby and Jermaine. So no doubt she will be continuing her little vendetta into today.

Dan and Jermaine are speculating about said vendetta, while Ryan and Ben are arguing about it in the garden. They nearly come to blows as the conversation gets pretty heated. Ben will find out the truth soon enough when he gets out of there

Don't these buffoons realise if he had really hit Roxanne, he wouldn't be in there right now. It's not that difficult.

Ryan now moves to Dan to explain the situation, and look who is in the background watching her handiwork start to crumble. Out come the waterworks from her as she slopes off to cry to some of the others

The old cry of pity me pity me, pretty desperate stuff from her now

Ben, wake up and smell the coffee, pal....She is playing you like a patsy. Sally hints to Ben that Ryan would have been removed had he really hit Roxanne. Mind you the way Roxanne is going on, you would think Ryan had done a job on her.

And Roxanne's demanding to speak to the producers again, who the eff does she think she is making these demands. You're a liar and a faker. Just do one if you are anxious to go, just do one NOW. BB even getting fed up with her now and her demands.

Just do us all a favour and wake up, Ben, and see what she is really like. She doesn't give a dam about you. Big Brother drop a big hint to Dan about why Ryan is still there and not been removed. They must be pretty dam fed up telling these idiots they have reviewed the footage. Will the penny drop with Dan at last?

The answer is yes, as he tells Ben they have been played by Roxanne. The penny still not dropping with Ben, hopefully he will see sense when he is evicted and shown the footage for himself. Meanwhile, the poisonous lady is turning on the waterworks with Jermaine now. Careful, pal, she'll be accusing you of something next if she has half the chance, and you are already in hot water with the public as it is as your grilling is long overdue.

Dan reveals the truth in the bedroom to more of them, and Ryan is absolutely shocked and who can blame him. Support for Roxanne is draining away and Sally speaks for most of us out here saying those kind of accusations that Roxanne made could ruin Ryan's career. Sudden silence descends as Roxanne walks into the bedroom.

Ryan is absolutely crying his eyes out in the Diary Room now he knows the truth, and these are genuine tears by the way, and not the ones that Roxanne seems to squeeze out when the spotlight is not on her.

Meanwhile, back in the bedroom, Roxanne goes into another little girl lost performance. Hardly anybody is offering to talk to her, as they are pretty much as disgusted as most of us out here. 

And the lies go on from Roxanne, but this time the others are on to her and she now claims he repeatedly punched her in the ribs. Just get her out, please, this is going TOO far.

On a lighter note, if it can be called that, Ben has now moved onto Gabby, but as we know it's too little too late on that score.

Back to the Roxanne show, and they are all giving her friendly advice but she still thinks she is in the right. Then a one on one between Ryan and Roxanne ensues, and they agree to call a truce but that's not going to last

On to the eviction we go, and a rinse and repeat of yesterday's twist, which is described in more detail in the previous post for this series. Not going to rehash it all here. To cut a long story short, Ben was evicted after a tie break vote of 5-3.

Now onto the fallout we go, and Roxanne is going into acting mode again. Sorry to be blunt here, but she doesn't really give two shits about Ben as we will see presently.

Kirstie's in tears about the situation of the moment, and then about the eviction just gone. Meanwhile the poisonous lady, she deserves no other name, ponders about the chanting outside. Sally tries to talk to her, but is she listening, hell no!!!!!!!

Finally, she is cut loose as she demands to walk, just push her through the door with a big boot. It's all she merits, think even BB is just so fed up of her on and on and on histronics. Just go and don't come back, not even for BOTS or the finale. You are NOT welcome.

The housemates are told of her departure, and no tears are shed as BB announce her suitcase is in the storeroom to pack up her things.

Good riddance I say, she can kiss goodbye to any future work and a great cloud of doom and fakeness has been removed from the house.

Final thoughts

See, Ben, that's what she really thinks of you. Consider your brief spotlight well and truly stolen, and go back to wherever you came from and look after that baby you and your partner are expecting, as they will need your full attention. Run for the hills as far from Roxanne as you can. So glad she's gone, and to say the last 72 hours have been draining would be a massive understatement. The final chapter in this trilogy is done and dusted and finally the book can be closed. Probably handed Ryan the win, and it's a shame his win will feel a bit tainted with the Stormy, he who was removed and now the poisonous lady business overshadowing things. Unless he himself messes up between now and the end, the win is his.

One more final thought, and thankfully a happier one, it was nice to see forums and social media in complete agreement after this episode had finished and that was RAW and honest BB at its best. Well done BB, it will be interesting to see what storylines we will get as we head towards the end of this series.

CBB UK Summer 2018 - Episode 16 - Who Goes They Decide

Good evening, and into another eviction we go, and tonight the housemates will decide after the public have decided who are their favourite housemates are, and then the bottom 2 face the housemate decide. Look familiar? Of course it is, if you follow the posts about Canada and USA

So into Episode 16, and after yesterday's events, to which I was VERY reluctant to write about as one housemate made a right meal of things and made accustations which would have probably ruined the accused's career had that been outside of the house

Whoop whoop and all that, as Emma welcomes us in for another eviction and runs through all the names, and to no shock at all after yesterday's events Roxanne gets the biggest boos.

To house action, and the crowd are none too happy with Roxanne with these loud boos and it's bound to get worse over the course of the evening

Roxanne is in full actress mode, as she keeps pushing everyone's buttons outside as she now accuses Ryan of 'assaulting' her. Oh please Roxanne, those are very dangerous and libellous claims. Big Brother even getting fed up with her now as she continues to slander Ryan in her own little fantsay world. The footage has been reviewed, what part of that do you not understand. 

Now she's whining to Hardeep, because apparently he spoke about her and Ben the night before. She really is getting paranoid in there. Getting really fed up with her, it's bad enough she is basically slandering Ben, and now she's bringing the whole house down.

Hardeep now advising Ben on how to proceed with Roxanne, but no doubt the usual in one ear and out the other

Sally thinks there is tension in the house, whatever could have given her that idea. Definitely not an earpiece that's for sure.

Into a light hearted segment with Kirstie and Gabby, and it involves toilet paper and Gabby doing some gymnastics.

Back to the rain cloud of doom known as Roxanne, and she is talking to her plaything and trying to turn Ryan against other people. She has got to go and soon, she is going too far at the moment.

Sally and Kirstie are in the garden, and Sally begins a conversation about belly buttons...Nothing in the stars today about an eviction, Sally?

Oh look Roxanne is shadow boxing with her plaything Ben, so she doesn't mind fooling about with Ben it's all sweetness and light, but anyone else is accused and slandered in the world of Roxanne. Total and complete logic fail there.

Kirstie speculates about who may go home tomorrow, she's on the ball somewhat as she thinks the public will get rid of someone. Close, Kirstie, but no cigar not even a Cuban one. You will find out in due course.

Even Marcus is sounding fed up with Ben and Roxanne, and back she goes to slandering Ryan and Operation Slander Ryan is officially underway, ladies and gentlemen. Don't fall for this, Ben, she doesn't give a dam about you or anyone, just get it through your thick head

This crowd is vicious, if Roxanne goes out to them, she will literally get lynched. All it takes is one nutcase to jump on the stage, and everything will go to s**t. 

Back to the show and it's reflection time as Ryan and Roxanne get their own segments to argue their case about yesterday's events, but I think it's already decided who is worst in this situation. Roxanne is still trying to influence opinion against Ryan. Just can't with her, she is so dam poisonous and apparently on social media, she has got a track record for crying wolf looking at the tweets from her former co-stars on Emmerdale and also some tweets from some Coronation Street stars, and let's just say they are less than happy with her actions, and all defending Ryan to the hilt.

Some ray of light as the old coinage is beginning to descend in Ben's head about Roxanne. Run for the hills would be my advice, Ben, or she will be accusing you of something next.

Eviction time

The two housemates who received the fewest votes will be on the block tonight, are revealed as BEN and JERMAINE

The other housemates will be called one by one to the Diary Room

Dan votes to evict JERMAINE

This is going to take forever, what part of  'give a name' do some of them not understand

Gabby votes to evict JERMAINE

Hardeep votes to evict BEN

Kirstie votes to evict BEN

Nick votes to evict JERMAINE

Roxanne votes to evict JERMAINE

Ryan votes to evict BEN

Sally votes to evict BEN

4-4 and it's a tie, after a tie breaking show of hands Ben is finally evicted 5 votes to 3, and Jermaine's stay is extended for a little longer

And that's the 'showmances' effectively terminated, can't wait to see what storylines we get as we move closer to the end of this series. The mob still chanting for Roxanne's blood as Ben exits through the doors

In his interview with Emma, Ben is shown the offending clip of Ryan's 'assault' on Roxanne and STILL he sticks up for her although the penny does seem to be dropping faster now about her true character. Sadly they did hear the mob's chanting as he left, so let's see tomorrow what effect that has on the house dynamic. 

After some BOTS promotion, Emma plugs that nominations will take place over the weekend and that the next eviction is Monday, and not Tuesday. So make a note of that, folks. 

To be continued in Episode 17, with the fallout of Ben's eviction and possibly nominations as well

Final thoughts

Social experiment continues, but Roxanne going way too far and I wouldn't be too surprised if she went out the back door whether she walks or she is removed. We will have to see, but just no excuse for her to ruin Ryan's career or life the way she is carrying on.
