Here's our Big Brother blogging teams second weekly bumper catch-up blog. Agree with us? Disagree with us? We want to know what you think...
Saturday
Saturdays highlight show gave us our last 24 hours of Sideboob Sallie and The Peoples Puppet, their relationship ended as it began, more bickering between the pair. Thankfully we won’t have to endure a highlight show full of that again!
You’d never have guessed but it was Charlies’ birthday, besides a brief mention no celebrations or well wishes were seen, hopefully she had a private party us viewers weren’t invited to or jeez did she have a dull birthday.
Wolfy and her
little pity party spilled on over from the previous days task, after emerging
as an initial early favorite she’s dropping down my ‘likeable’ list faster than
a BBUK conspiracy theory is formed. There were yet more Wolfy soaked tears
later in the show, but we’ll get to that.
As the eviction
arrived and we waved goodbye to the Sideboob it was the big reveal, housemates
sat bewildered as Michaels ‘deception’ was explained, cue bellows of ‘I knew
it’ and ‘I told you’ from Dan, then the obligatory pat on the back for Michael
and his ‘acting’ skills.
Then came those
Wolfy soaked tears we mentioned as the realisation it was in fact the British
public that labeled her unattractive and unhygienic not just The Puppet. Ouch.
As the show drew
to a close we witnessed the housemates being reunited with their ‘shredded’
suitcases, scenes of grown men hugging the luggage and cries of ‘I love this
show’ were almost enough to warm the coolest of hearts.
In Other News…
Paranoid City –
Dan is convinced Wolfy is an actor. Could this be his downfall? Or is it too
late for that?
Missing Person –
We were almost going to report Daley as a missing person, but then… he does
nothing for a week then treats us to a creepy camp moisturising ditty.
The warming –
Dexter is beginning to grow on me again, I might actually like him… don’t hold
me to that.
The Cooling – Dan
is really starting to get on my nerves, anything and everything he does now
irritates me.
A Double Act –
Jack & Joe and their diary room antics, hilarious and could go a huge way
to them winning if they keep it up.

Get your crap
together, paranoid housemates! BB don't let this series go down the toilet
after such a fiery first week; the viewers are not having a good time watching
this 'who-else-is-an-actor?' game. I hate to say it, but say it I must ..
Wolfy's not the only one mourning the loss of Sallie. As much as I loathed the
Sideboob, the entertainment is lacking without the scandals and controversies
she and Michael caused in there. I don't want to know if Gina has a camel toe,
how intense a lover Jemima is or that Sophie is going to burp garlic. No
seriously, seeing Jack and Joe hold spoons under their moobs sounds more fun!
A house full of
MENSA candidates - it's not! It doesn't take a genius to work out that BB tried
(and failed) to ignite altercations with the memory quiz answers. But I got a
giggle out of the efforts they went to memorising the red herrings – Gina tried
so hard she gave herself a headache! The blue brains show that they are
smarties when they beat the Purples to treats that are sweet. Alas,
Dex-who-loves-sex and WOLFerine are the only two sour about the revelations!
Dexter just
friggin' back off 'wifey material' Hazel, she's about to crawl out of her skin
(so are we)! You might take all the gossip on the chin 'like a big set of
balls' but I'm tipping your girlfriend/strip club girlfriend/mistress will not!
Sam's hardly said three words during his stay but he made me LOL with his
reckoning that womanising Callum will be the new 50 Shades of Grey actor! My
nostrils are sniffing a whiff of a showmance between Challum after that 6
minute hand massage – but will Mummy Travers approve if it blossoms right
before her eyes?
Monday
It's
nominations day and everyone was looking so scared and worried. The twins
brightened up the show sat in the tree-house arguing over nominations. I still
can’t tell them apart so I’m going to refer to them as the Twins. I loved the
way they nominated and how they did a synchronised ‘Dexter’. They're definitely
my favourites so far. Then Gina nominated 'Jeremiah'... just brilliant.
The
jail is back and its bigger, not really better, but bigger, not that much
bigger though. They need to get Gina in there to see how she copes. Hazel, Joe,
Jackie and Jemima were put in for discussing nominations, which is in fact, if
you didn't know, a rule break. I don't understand why both twins weren't put
into the jail if they're being classed as one housemate? I suppose it would
have been unfair on Jack but it might have taught them a lesson. I think they
also should have spent more time in the jail too it wasn't really a bad enough
punishment in my opinion. I also noticed Gina and Dexter spending more time
with each other. I don't know if they're bonding because they come from similar
backgrounds or sticking together because no one else really likes them.
Dan
needs to stop with his suspicions. Wolfy needs to teach everyone how to speak to
animals. We need to see more of Sophie. We need more arguing from the twins,
maybe a secret task involving them both that's bound to cause an argument. I'm
not liking the Live nomination announcement it doesn't give the viewers enough
time to see how they react, I’d rather they just show it all on Tuesdays show
and have 15 minutes more footage from Sunday.

Tuesday
Well, if there’s
one thing you can say about this year’s housemates, it’s that they certainly
know how to give our cringe muscles a good work out.
On top of more
paranoia than any house we’ve had for a long, long time – this year’s
housemates will soon find themselves walking on egg shells if much of tonight
is anything to go by.
With regards to
Charlie and Hazel, I have a very close friend who went through a very similar
thing to the Irish model, and so I have a fair idea about how
inappropriate Charlie was in what she asked. It’s not the first time we’ve been
treated to just how little tact Charlie has, with her previously assuming that
Gina’s reluctance to talk about her job meant that she was in fact an escort.
Both times, fortunately, Charlie has come out of the incidents reasonably
unscathed. But how much longer can she continue to get away with saying
insensitive things to an increasingly sensitive set of housemates? For her
part, I thought Hazel dealt with it very well – lesser housemates, such as
Jemima, would probably have made a huge deal of it. However I do think that
this will become a case of forgiving something, but not forgetting it and
Charlie may soon find herself with a few nominations coming her way.
Jemima on the
other hand….Well, I don’t think Dexter and Gina have anything to worry about
come Friday. It’s been clear in the past that Jemima loses control
slightly when she’s had a drink, demonstrated by her behaviour towards Sam on
the very first night. Tonight’s episode showed that she is also extremely
stubborn in an argument and refuses to see other ways of looking at things
apart from her own and when the two come together…
As much as I
dislike Dan, he was right in what he was saying. Turning round to Jackie, who
seemed to just be having a perfectly normal motherly conversation about
Charlie’s problems through life, and basically saying that Charlie’s problems
were nothing compared to Jemima’s was ridiculous. You can’t say to someone
who’s daughter was ill from cancer that the mother is just being
overprotective. Life just doesn’t work like that – and sometimes it’s best to
sit down and let that conversation happen, regardless of your own feelings on
the matter. Needless to say, that unlike Charlie, Jemima’s insensitivity didn’t
leave her smelling of roses. It is going to take a miracle to prevent Jemima
leaving on Friday.
In other news, the
housemates have landed on the theory that Dexter is being swapped with his
twin, after Dexter started wearing glasses and taking his top off in front of
people. It’s Hazel who should be worrying. Two Dexter’s telling her what a
fantastic wife she’d make? It’s enough to make you want to talk to bees.

WARNING WARNING:
The house has been infected by a deadly airborne virus of bitching, moaning and
laziness! In one of the most delightfully cruel shopping tasks BB have ever
done, bloody zombies right off the set of Shaun of the dead set hearts
pounding! Housemates confined in quarantine soon realise they've got the bum
end of the deal and not just because they were trapped in a room with Jemima!
(For that alone, they have my sympathies) To make things even more jolly they
are subjected to strange and unusual experimental treatment as a 'cure.'
An un-glammed up
Gina courageously endures the stuff a privileged, precious princess's worst
nightmare is made of! Joe and Daley spur her on to neck back 3 measures of a
vile I'm-a-celebrity-get-me-out-of-here-style fermented herring, dog food and
sheep eye ball smoothie. I'm immensely proud of her for persevering through
something so disgusting but doubt she'll be ordering it as room service at The
Savoy! Deputy Pansy-ass Dan had the pudding scared out of him as Hazel and
Callum con the sucker into believing they're exposing him to dangerous and
exotic species. Strap on a pair! I'll be watching him flail around, shrieking
like a little girl while he is frisked with jelly, a pine cone and toilet brush
on a continuous loop!!
With only
unstomachable medicine and a portion of plain rice to sustain them in
quarantine (what did they expect, tea and crumpets?) – breaking point is hit!
Jackie takes to vigorous face rubs, Sophie threatens to smash everything up and
Jack longs for the meat sweats! *hurls* Joe, the great vulnerable puppy of a
bloke elicited awwwwws nation-wide with his fear of dying a lonely old
spinster. Don't give up on anyone loving you, the right woman's out there for
you!!
After Gina's save,
will we see her roomies clamp onto her like leeches? Can de-arseholed Dexter
escape being up for eviction 2 weeks on the trot? And is Sam actually going to
appear on any of the highlights shows for more than 5 seconds? I'm no Mystic Meg
but one prediction I'm certain of is that we'll be booing bye-bye to the gold
digging banshee on Friday!
PS – Stop trying
to pass off Challum as the Brangelina of the house, it'll never amount to
anything even if Charlie is addicted to love!
QUOTE OF THE
EPISODE – “That was disgusting! That was disgusting! And then you had the cheek
to spin me up and down! I hate you.” (Gina in the Diary room after her horrific
ordeal)
Thursday
The housemates
woke up still trapped in quarantine. Jack and Charlie where called to the diary
room to give an antidote to there chosen housemates, Jack choose twin Joe and
Charlie, mum Jackie. It was revealed they had to take a sample of their hair
which Joe went along with and is now sporting whatever the opposite of a Mohawk
is back in the main house, whilst Jackie refused, heading back to quarantine.
Dan questioned
Wolfy over her sexuality and her teenage lifestyle. I think Dan was asking a
lot of personal questions and Wolfy only reacted the way she felt and left
upset heading to the bedroom.
Housemates got
their shopping delivered, unfortunately it was all infected so had to be
washed. They did pretty well considering they had to form a lubed up washing
gloved chain, whilst being showered with watery slime, passing each item from
start to finish.
Gina opened her
stash of alcohol, which is unacceptable according to Big Brother, so called her
to the diary numerous times after numerous refusals. Eventually she succumbed
and was handed a punishment, to jail she must go, several more refusals later
and the threat of their newly won shopping being held hostage to jail Gina
went.
Gina was saved
live from Friday’s eviction, which I'm pleased about. I like Gina, she’s really
coming out of her shell.
Friday - Eviction
So, surprising
exactly no one, Jemima was the second to be evicted tonight. To me, she came
across as somebody who spent the majority of her time there finding a role for
herself. She couldn't be the hot sexy one, she couldn't be the funny one and she
couldn't be the mother – what we were left with was a floater who was only ever
going to be evicted early, no matter what happened. I think Jemima may have
slightly over estimated just how entertaining she was. Granted, seeing her
draped drunkenly over Sam (who surely now has to actually do something) on the
first night was incredibly amusing/cringe worthy, but after that she kind of
faded into somebody the public didn't hate, but at the same time couldn't wait
to see the back of. Even her arguments, and she had a few, didn't push me
either way with her. Sometimes she was in the right, sometimes in the wrong but
ultimately I didn't care. Even her best bits didn't make me wish I'd seen more
of her. Ho-hum. Don't get me wrong, she seems nice enough, but Lea she was not.
Where this leaves
the rest of the house is the interesting part – if what Jemima said in her
interview about the majority of housemates wanting and expecting her to stay is
true, then there's going to be a lot of confused and annoyed inmates in that
house tonight. Dexter, love him or hate him (and I have to say I do quite like
him) is probably going to be a regular sight in the firing line – the
housemates will probably nominate him until he goes.
But face to face
nominations could make things interesting - Dexter will probably be an easy
nomination for everyone, seeing as ten people voted for him last week, and I
suspect very little love will be lost between any of them. But who else will
join him? I predict that more than three will face the vote this week.
Charlie has
managed to offend a lot of people this week, and Wolfy, who practically
admitted that she'd be nominating her next time tonight, cannot be the only
person who is losing patience with her. With the added element that Charlie knows
how many times she's put her foot in it this week, it could be another easy
nomination for the housemates. I also predict that Dan or Wolfy could also be
up, or possibly both. If this happens, then I want Dan gone. His smug, arrogant
and self assured manner is now beyond annoying. You know you hate a housemate
when your shouting “shut up you wanker!” at your television before they've even
opened their mouths.
And how much
longer will Callum be touching Charlie up? His request to leave tonight came
pretty much out of nowhere, something which I suspect is more down to the
editors than Callum himself. I don't know whether I care about Callum so much
as yet, but he does seem to be developing a quite pleasant personality. Time
will tell.
Week 2 has been
quieter and more subtle than the action packed week 1. The infection shopping
task seemed to really take it's toll, which suggests that this lot will not be
good in a crisis. They seem to be a bunch who like to be comfortable and the
first house in a long long time that I think Big Brother has full authority
over (even Gina relented and went to prison when poked by BB and her
housemates.) But we need a twist. Those doors must lead to somewhere....but
where?

The Highlight - The Task
A classic BBUK task, it had a theme, costumes, dividing roles, endurance testing and humiliating mini tasks. Perfect!
The Lowlight - The 'death-off'
After all these years of Big Brother its hard to witness a first, but this weeks 'death-off' argument between Jemima and Jackie was just that. Brilliant TV, but really Jemima? a 'death-off'? definitely a low.
Hero - The Twins
Thanks to the head shaving we can finally tell Jack & Joe apart, both had stand out moments during the week, but Jacks stint in quarantine definitely dragged him to the top of our favorite housemate list.
Villain - Wolfy
It hasn't been a great week for Wolfy, she lost her closest friend in Sallie, was branded the least attractive and hygienic our all the housemates and dwelled in self pity for most of the week. Not quite the bookies winner anymore.

Bring on week 3! Meanwhile keep up with the action via our nightly BBUK tweets on @ItsBizNews
