Day 49: Nominations

I'm off on hols after tonight's Heartbreakers, so this will be my last BB blog for a week or so. Being honest, I wish I'd gone away yesterday so I didn't have to predict who might be kicked out on Friday night. It's another tricky one, for very different reasons. It's also the first time this series that 3 housemates have faced the public vote together: Darnell, Mohamed or Bex ... YOU DECIDE:

Darnell
REASONS FOR EVICTION: He was proving a popular housemate, until last week. His hypocritical response to the heaven/hell changeover might've lost him a few fans. Plus, I've noticed he calls everyone "dude" ... even after he's insulted them or dished out a put-down. Saying "I can't stand being around you, dude" is surely gonna confuse anyone?! Finally, he's fully responsible for the lack of tea and coffee this week having compiled the shopping list. You may have heard Luke complain about it ... a lot.

REASONS AGAINST EVICTION: He took the news badly yesterday when he heard he was up for eviction, mainly because he's good mates with Mo. "It's apparent that people don't like me as much as I thought they did" he said, telling Lisa that he didn't want to take part in interviews or publicity, adding "I'm not really down with being a star". Also, if there's an argument to be had, you can guarantee Darnell will be either the cause, involved or within spitting distance. Sorry, unfortunate choice of phrase. Now come on, we don't want a happy happy happy house do we? Really?

CHANCE OF EVICTION: 20% (as long as he cheers up a bit living in hell)


Mohamed
REASONS FOR EVICTION: If we don't get him out of there soon, no-one will have any food left. He LOVES food. In fact, nearly every person who nominated him used "greed" as a reason. It's amazing he's not up to Rik Waller proportions! If you're on basic rations for the week, just make sure Mo isn't anywhere nearby - he'd just grab what he can for himself. I get the impression, those that aren't Mohamed fans, REALLY don't like him - he just seems to have a habit of winding people up to the point where they want to completely throttle him! Plus, let's face it, he's a bit boring to watch. Rant over.

REASONS AGAINST EVICTION: I'd rather Bex goes.

CHANCE OF EVICTION: 35%


Rebecca
REASONS FOR EVICTION: Well, where do I start? The screaming. The constant desire to strip off (although Luke probably likes it - and have you noticed it's always Dale that asks her to do it?!). The over-the-top reactions to the smallest things (in last night's case - her finger feeling a bit sore. Anyone would've thought her leg had fallen off). The stroppy reaction to living in hell last week. The pathetic effort in the "head of house" task. Oh, and, she licked Luke's armpit the other day - ewwww! It's surely the first step before eating him for breakfast. He needs saving.

REASONS AGAINST EVICTION: You know what I'm going to say here - she's this year's Jade, Nikki, Kemal. She's the one we love to hate. She's the one that makes the house a livelier place. Without Bex, we're in danger of heading into Big Brother 4 territory. Plus it feels cruel splitting up this year's only couple - and let's be honest, we wouldn't have predicted a Luke/Bex relationship at the start of the series!   

CHANCE OF EVICTION: 45%


I'll be checking in on the result on holiday - and hopefully not crying into my beach towel.

Finally, before I pack my toothbrush, a bit of news on this week's shopping task which you can see on Channel 4 tonight. It's all about TIME. They have 5 challenges to complete, with housemates from hell doing 2, heavenly housemates doing 2, and the last one is for the whole house. Maysoon and Stu have to construct a giant pocket watch within a certain period of time. Luke, Bex and Rex are taking part in an archeological dig and will have to date the historical objects they find. Housemates from hell have to run to the task room every time they hear an alarm and find the ringing clock in a room filled with clocks. They then have 45 seconds to find the offending alarm clock and switch it off. The second task for the Hell housemates is to keep a giant egg timer filled with sand before it runs out and to make sure it never empties. The task for the whole group involved them forming a human clock in the garden yesterday afternoon - all I'll say is, watch it tonight on the highlights show ... it's a clever task idea and one of the hardest ones they've had in a while.

Right, I'm outta here. Back the week after next with more BB stuff and see you for Heartbreakers tonight at 10pm.
