Housemates turned into cling-film 'caterpillars' for task

The housemates became cling-film 'caterpillars' for their latest task yesterday.

Five of the housemates volunteered to be wrapped tightly in the plastic sheeting to become 'caterpillars' while the rest of the housemates dressed as gnomes and fairies.

The caterpillar volunteers - Charlie, Rodrigo, Siavash, Sophie and David - were given green suits and had to stand with their arms by their sides while they were wrapped in the cling-film so they couldn't move their arms and legs.

The 'caterpillars' were then laid on the floor - made into a 'garden' by Big Brother - and given two minutes to stand up, with each person who managed to make it rewarded with a house token - redeemable for a host of goods including hot water, use of hair clippers or alcohol.

Big Brother also promised the housemates if they all took part they'd receive a luxury hamper of food and drink for the house.

Just Good Friends


Halfwit's been having quite a morning of it. He's having a hard time dealing with his knockback from Bea. But rather than give his overworked brain a rest, he's decided the best way to tackle things is to have a heart to heart with Bea - whether she wants one or not.

Coming into the Bathroom earlier today Halfwit interrupted Bea when she couldn't escape - while she was having a bath, in her bikini. Settling himself beside her, he began to try explain why last night he'd asked her if she 'fancied' him.

"You put me on the spot," she told him.

"I didn't intend that," said Halfwit. Although, surely, what else could that question do?

"I didn't appreciate it. It came out of the blue," she said. But did it? Really?

RODRIGO'S ROYAL APPOINTMENT

Rodrigo says it is his ambition to meet the queen of England.

The Brazilian 'Big Brother' housemate told last night (02.07.09) how he is desperate to have tea with Queen Elizabeth II.

After being taught to say a rhyme by Bea in the garden, he joked that her and fellow posh housemate Freddie would teach Rodrigo how to speak in perfect English, like the queen.

Rodrigo replied: "Freddie knows I want to meet the queen. I would love to speak like her, seriously."

Messing with my Mind



What is it with some of the lads in the Big Brother House? A girl gives them a knockback, and their brain and egos respond with a signal of does-not-compute. Give them some time to think about it, and they soon start blaming Big Brother.

Marcus is always convincing himself about some Big Brother conspiracy or another, Siavash started doing it today about Noirin, and now Halfwit can't get his head around the fact that Bea isn't interested in him. And it's all Big Brother's fault, apparently.

"I feel a conflict internally," Halfwit whimpered from the bed. "I can feel thoughts that are my own and some that are BB-enduced. It's not very nice."

"Mmm," nodded Marcus.

"I have my own way of thinking and the way Big Brother wants me to think. I don't know what to do," he continued.

"Do neither," suggested Marcus. But Halfwit was just warming up.

"The BB brain is quite a negative path. It's more being a negative way than doing negative. But I guess being negative is doing negative."

It's a nice day Halfwit. Maybe go out, get some sun.

"I feel... manipulated," continued Halfwit, before Marcus agreed that Big Brother was probably picking on him and that he shouldn't show it. "Otherwise, it'll rub off on everyone else and no-one will want to be near you, like it was in the first few weeks."

That's it. Kick a man when he's down, Marcus.

The pair talked about it for ages, not really saying anything except that they thought Big Brother was probably playing with their minds in some way. But without ever really explaining how.

"I think the only way is to shut down my emotions," decided Halfwit at last. "I really want to get to where it's understanding an awareness."

Come on mate, she just doesn't fancy you, that's all.

Latest News

After their success in the Caterpillar Task, housemates were treated to a hamper of treats and five tokens.

Bea had a chat with Big Brother about David and revealed that she suspects that he's the food thief. She described him as 'dull', like 'Yorkshire pudding' adding that Lisa's the gravy. According to Bea, he's just putting on a show for the cameras.

After her Diary Room chat, Bea moved on to Marcus to have a chat about... you guessed it, David. Marcus said that he tried to have a discussion with him but David just apologised straight away. This didn't sit well with Marcus because he wanted to have an argument. Bea responded saying that he's not 'her kind of person' and also called him 'boring' and 'fake'. Marcus noted that Lisa and David protest the most about the stealing of the food but are the first to claim any spare food when people exit the House. Bea and David later make up after their argument earlier in the day.

There was a spot of campaigning from Siavash who went to the Diary Room to request more alcohol. But then he turned to thoughts of a practical prank. He told Big Brother that he wanted to stay in the Diary Room for two hours so that housemates would believe that he had left the House.

He eventually left twenty seven minutes later. And what did he tell the housemates? That he was leaving. Everyone gathered around him in the Bedroom, berating him for lying but Siavash kept the joke up, folding his clothes up in preparation for his 'eventual' departure. He eventually admitted he was pretending. This didn't go down well with Halfwit and Marcus, who later had a chat about Siavash's prank. Halfwit didn't like it and Marcus felt that it was attention seeking.

But the pranks didn't stop there. Charlie told housemates that Rodrigo and David fancied each other. Rodrigo took him aside in the Bedroom and told Charlie that he did not appreciate the joke and not to carry on with it as he does not want to fight.

On the game front, Siavash, Charlie and Bea had a race to see who could eat jelly snake the quickest. Siavash won. After the snake contest Bea complained that her jaw really hurt and went to the Diary Room concerned she may have dislocated it.

And in another relationship twist Halfwit spoke in the Diary Room about him and Bea fancying each other, having an 'emotional connection' as well as physical attraction. He said being with Bea was like being in a trance, and that she was intoxicating.

Later in the Bedroom, Halfwit had a chat with Bea. Halfwit asked her if she fancied him and she said no. She said she was uncomfortable having the conversation and she hadn't been asked that question since she was 14. Bea turned away to sleep. Halfwit tossed and turned in bed trying to sleep.

What a night...

Eureka!


Was it mind over matter? Or did Siavash have a eureka moment this morning while chatting to Bea?

It started innocently enough - the pair were chatting about Halfwit's near declaration of love to Bea last night.

"Freddie asked me if i fancied him," she said, with the look of a bulldog licking wee off a nettle.

"He started asking questions when we got into bed. He kept saying he likes this connection between us and kept asking if I needed a cuddle."

Siavash nodded.

"But you know what it's like when you get into bed you feel so comfy, and I just didn't want to shuffle over. He asked me about it and I said I don't want to be having this sort of conversation."

"Was it a joke?" asked Siavash.

"It wasn't a joke and I really didn't appreciate it," confirmed Bea, looking more than a little put out. "I love Freddie to bits but never in a million years would I get involved with someone on a TV show."

At this, Siavash nodded again. "Nothing good can come of it," he said, clearly having been chewed up and thrown up by a similar experience already. "When you're in a house with 12 people 24-7... OH! This is so ridiculous!"

Suddenly, Siavash jumped up, started. "They put us in here. There's no way Freddie would not do that. You are the only girl in here..."

Bea looked confused, but Siavash looked like he'd just discovered the missing link.

"I don't know what you're talking about," said Bea.

"Think about it. Freddie is a young single, very randy guy. And you're in here. To start with, you're exactly his type. There is no-one else. You're together 24-7. So it will happen. I've just cracked it. You don't really like someone. When you think about it..."

Has Siavash finally unravelled the cheeky nuances of Big Brother. Or is he just finding ways to convince his broken mind that he never really liked Noirin anyway? Well, at least he sounds convinced...

On the live feed last night Bea went to bed late, and guess what, Freddie had stayed awake so he could have a chat with her. We join them in bed together and Freddie is saying,"no,no,no hear me out,hear me out."
Bea: "I feel like you have put me in a corner, and we are being watched and I don't like it"
Freddie: "okay, dude, dude," Bea turns her back on him.
Freddie: "Hear me out, please. I'm - muffled sound -"I know fancy is an awful word and I don't believe in it either, it's em,,,,god."
I think Bea then says she needs her rest. Freddie says sorry if he has slightly embarrassed her. He says sorry again and turns to lie on his back.
Freddie then taps Bea on the back and says" the reason I used that word [fancy] is because it is a word you used before and you said basically we were a couple who could fancy each other"
Bea: "I said what?"
Freddie: you said before we were a couple of hippies that fancy each other, like a while ago, I thought it was okay to use that word light-heartily "
Bea: "I don't remember saying that"
Freddie: "As i said I don't mean with the overtone's that people mean that"
Bea: "I don't consider myself a hippy either so if you have taken something I have said really flippantly and in jest - freddie i am really not enjoying this conversation and I do feel a little bit awkward" Bea points to an overhead camera, "and we are being watched. I am not interested in having this conversation, I'm really not"
Freddie: "Okay"
Bea: "You're my friend, and if I have given you the wrong impression by being your friend and affectionate"
Freddie: "No. You haven't given me any wrong impressions"
Bea: "Then why are we having this conversation:
Freddie:"Well ah, em, because ah"
Bea: "Why are we having this conversation if you are not having some sort of where is it going what is the expectation, where do I stand, do you fancy me"
Freddie: "No pleas, please, I just like talking"
Bea: "I am tired"
Freddie: "Okay, I just like talking, It is so unfair, I just like.."

Now, now Bea .& Freddie remember how you both loved to point out how you thought Noirin didn't except any responsibility for her treatment of Siavash - now it is your turn to own up and admit that you Bea have been leading Freddie up the garden part. And you Freddie have to admit you are as big a dick as Siavash.

Let Me At 'Em



It's Monday, so housemates are preoccupied with the weekly grind that is nominations. Except for one housemate, it's not going to be much of a grind at all. In fact, Bea is well up for it.

Getting ready for their time in front of the Diary Room camera, Bea, Halfwit and Marcus sat around the Bedroom. Well, Bea was getting ready, Halfwit was eating cereal and Marcus was sprawled on the bed letting out intermittant trumps from his behind. A happy scene.

"I hope I go this week," said Marcus, motionless.

"You might want to say that around people other than me and Bea," chuckled Halfwit. "I want you to stay. I love you maaaan."

Marcus didn't have time to react before Bea piped up from in front of the mirror. "I'm quite looking forward to today."

"A-haaa?" questioned Halfwit.

But Marcus was quicker on the uptake. "To wield the sword of vengeance?" he asked her. "Will you be happier after you've nominated?"

"I'm not unhappy now," she confirmed, still applying make-up.

"But will you be happy-er?"

"I've pretty much told them, I chose a while ago," said Bea. "Big Brother that is, not the individuals concerned. I'm sure they can guess anyway, as I'm putting in an extra special effort with everyone else at the moment."

Bea chuckled.

"Game-planner!" shouted Halfwit jovially.

"God loves a trier," shot back Bea with a shrug.

"I suppose..." trawled Halfwit, thinking.

"Funny how transparent people can be," said Bea.

It was unclear whether she meant others with that comment, or herself.
