Big Brother: Day 42

Time to get rid of another. Yeah!

It's nominations time once again and the house-mates have spoken. In fact, in the case of one of those up for eviction, she can't stop speaking. It's Belinda v Rex this Friday. YOU DECIDE:

Belinda
REASONS FOR EVICTION: Three main reasons: when Belinda Belinda Belinda entered the house a couple of weeks ago, she claimed to be the "voice of the voiceless". The problem is even those that have a voice don't get a word in edgeways. Many of the house-mates complained that it's near on impossible to have a conversation with her -  it becomes more of an interrogation! Mikey reckons she's "the biggest nosey-parker he's ever met". Secondly, her jazz singing... isn't it the worst you've ever heard?! I used to love jazz, and yet she's virtually destroyed that in the space of a fortnight. And last but by no means least, the snoring. Not only do the residents of B-Block need a decent night's sleep, but the residents of Elstree & Borehamwood and the whole of North London are also complaining.

REASONS AGAINST EVICTION: I have moments (granted, they're rare) where I feel sorry for Belinda. The other house-mates haven't been at all friendly or encouraging towards her, particularly over the snoring issue. She's not doing it on purpose and yet they treat her like she's playing some weird game tactic by keeping them awake all night. I also wonder if the residents of her hometown Exeter would rather she stay in London a bit longer.

CHANCE OF EVICTION: 55%

Rex
REASONS FOR EVICTION: Did you know he owns a restaurant? Oh... and did he mention that he earns and spends a LOT of money? Plus, he doesn't need to do Big Brother and doesn't really know why he did... oh, that's right, it's because he's achieved everything he wanted to in life. AAARRRGGGHH! No-one likes a show-off or someone who comes across as very self-confident, which is probably why Rex received so many nominations and is up for the public vote. He's also told the few friends he has that he's not too bothered if he stays or not. Head of house Darnell nominated him as he felt Rex was unfairly taking a place in the house which could've been better appreciated by one of the thousands of other BB9 applicants. He's missing his girlfriend and is not use to spending less than £50 a day. He's gagging for his life back.

REASONS AGAINST EVICTION: I can imagine living with him is torture. But an hour-long dose of Rex The Chef each night is bearable and watching him wind the other house-mates up is pure entertainment.  Plus, who will do the cooking?

CHANCE OF EVICTION: 45%

It's another tough one to call and I'm playing it cautious after last week. But unless Rex talks about himself even more, I reckon Belinda Belinda Belinda will be going going going. Just think - you'll be able to enjoy jazz music again.

Finally, my usual Wednesday update on this week's shopping task which you can see on Channel 4 tonight. The house-mates were woken yesterday by the music of Edith Piaf to get them in a French mood. Darnell, as Head of House, was in charge of not only telling the group about the task, but picking who should do it too.

There are four challenges that the group must complete. House-mates in Hell will take part in "Le Tour de Grand Frère" in which they'll cycle 1,040km in 30 hours - the equivalent of Paris to Madrid! The Heavenly house-mates are trying to complete the other 3 tasks: Rex and Kat are doing a food task, Rachel and Maysoon are learning the art of mime and Dale is doing wine tasting (lucky thing). All I'll say is, the cycling task is proving a tricky one for the house-mates from Hell - and they're making sure we all know that too. Brace yourself for a few tears.

By the way, Luke is still unwell so will not participate in tasks until further notice.

See you for Heartbreakers @ 10pm.
