Day 9: You can't handle the truth Only the cold hard truth would satisfy Big Brother in the Tell It Like It Is task, but the housemates were refusing to play ball.
In the basement Speidi were eagerly anticipating a proper showdown.
"I'm excited...yessss," enthused Spencer, his eyes lighting up.
With the promise of a phone call from the outside world we, like Speidi, hoped the housemates would finally stop pussy footing around each other and let rip on what has been bothering them about their buddies.
However, the five selected for the task - Claire, Lacey, Tricia, Rylan and Razor – just couldn't break the love in.
Finishing off a series of sentences set by Speidi, even Rylan struggled to sharpen his tongue. On Razor he said, "If I could change one thing about your personality it would be... that you wouldn't be so serious all the time. That you wouldn't be so quick-witted, as it makes me less quick-witted."
A frustrated Heidi moaned, "We are trying to get you to be honest, you liars," prompting BB to remind our five, "This task is about housemates showing who is the most fantastic housemate."
Claire worried about telling Tricia the truth, but the Heartbeat lovely reassured her she could take anything, leading to our Steps singer saying, "People will boo you when you leave the CBB house because...they saw you put Heidi's shoes on as soon as she left. You jumped in her grave."
Tricia's response? "I want to go home now."
Housemates agreed Big Brother is trying to drive a wedge between them but started to make an effort to be a bit more honest.
Later, while still stinging from a cutting comment from Rylan suggesting she was a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde after a drink, Tricia answered a question on Rylan. "Your worst personality trait is... that you never shut up and no one else can get a bleedin' word in. There I got you back."
Lacey delivered perhaps the biggest blow to Claire, stating, "The real reason Claire is taking part in CBB is...she wants to out-do the rest of her S Club 7 group." Cutting.
In the basement Speidi were tearing their hair out. What will it take to get these housemates to open up? Speidi are going to have to up their game...
