Big Brother: Day 34

So what have we learnt this weekend about our BB friends?

1) Mikey and Rachel are winners when it comes to using spray paint
2) New housemate Sara hadn't told her bosses at work she was going into Big Brother - and now reckons she's lost her job
3) If you're ever caught in an argument with Lisa and it looks like she's going to hit you, don't panic. Even if she's wearing boxing gloves. You should be fine.

The latest task was to take turns fighting their way out of a large paper bag. The groups were divided into 3 teams of 5. Each captain (newbies Belinda, Maysoon and Sara) had to take it in turns to choose who they wanted in their team - like we used to have at school. And yes, I was always the last to be chosen. In fact, I'd even use the word "chosen" loosely. It was more a case of me standing there on my own with all my mates selected half an hour before, and the team captain left to pick last would say "Oh....er.... ok... we'll 'ave Beale" and then he'd sigh heavily. Charming.

They were all given boxing gloves and the team to finish first would win a party in the diary room. Most of the housemates took a minute or so to get out. Lisa took .... TEN minutes, claiming "mine must be made out of leather". Excuses, excuses.

The new housemates seem to be settling in quickly, with Belinda being the latest to keep the luxury bedroom alive with the sound of snoring. Between her and Mario, it sounds like the Pride Of Kent docking at Dover on a foggy morning. Sara seems to be flirting her way into conversations. Did you think her and Rex were getting on particularly well at the end of last night's episode? Hmmm? I thought "aaahh, Rex has a friend"... at last. But since then, Darnell feels Sara's been getting "a bit too friendly" with him. She complained that her bed was not next to his in the B-Block. Darnell now thinks she's been put in the house "just to confuse him"!

He's not the only one getting suspicious. Mario, Lisa, Luke and Bouncy Bex have all agreed the three new girls are "playing a game" and trying to extract too much information during conversation. Then again, Luke would come up with a conspiracy theory about anything to be honest. I'm amazed he doesn't think every housemate around him is acting and the joke's on him 24/7. Give it time.

I'm never a big fan of new housemates going in after Day 1. Just when I feel like we're getting to know everyone, they throw in a load of strangers. I can easily loose interest for a few days because I can't be bothered to get to know more people! (I'm sounding like a right gumpy so and so aren't I?!!) So BB producers, if you're reading this ... NO MORE! PLEASE. Not just for my sake, but if you get another snorer in the luxury bedroom, residents in the Elstree area will start complaining about the noise.
