Week 9

BLOG: Battle of the bods

So, it's house hunks Dale and Stu up for eviction this week. The pair, who have been moaning about wanting to go home, reacted with joy to the news, hugging and thanking their housemates.

"Get in!" Stuart shouted, while Dale said: "Nice one. It's on! Friday is going to be class!" Dale then predicted: "I'll go, Stu hasn't done anything."

Elsewhere that naughty little tease Sara has been ramping up the action with Darnell. Yes, Darnell. We're confused too, as last we heard, it was Stu she really fancied. This could get interesting...

FORUM: Dale or Stu to go?

BLOG: Sprouting Hell

Bored Angel Stu might be desperate to go to Hell (to get away from Sara perhaps??), but rather him than us! In order to earn the right to nominate this week, Mikey, Kat and Nicole must munch their way through 300 brussels sprouts. Now, I do enjoy the odd sprout at Christmas, but 300! No thanks. Which was a sentiment echoed by Mikey - after three hours of gagging and retching he decided he'd rather not nominate than eat any more green gunk, thank you very much.

"That's disgusting, it's not even cooked. I cannae be bothered with this. Who cares about the game?"

Poor Darnell is caring rather too much at the moment however. The insecure HM made a play for Sara, but she decided she'd much rather hop into bed with hunky Stu (well, you would, wouldn't you). Humiliated and embarrassed, Darnell stormed out of the luxury bedroom and slept on the sofa instead, which lead to him being excluded from nominations this week.

Head of House Rachel has been trying to calm him down ever since, but Darnell keeps storming off as soon as Sara walks to the same room as him. Oh, the dramz!

FORUM: Nominations announced tonight, but who do you want to be up?

BLOG: Love is in the air

There's love in the air again. Now that Posh and Bex have left the house, all eyes are on Rex and girlfriend Nicole. Despite the Heaven / Hell divide, Rex was up with the larks on Saturday for an early morning kiss through the bars.

"Give me a kiss" Rex begged. "I'm so tired."

What is it they say about the course of true love never running smoothly? With Nicole losing her suitcase as punishment for jumping over the Heaven and Hell divide, we’re perhaps not seeing the ‘happy bunny’ side of her. And having plotted to fail the latest task so they could both be in Hell, the separated couple are still well and truly separated.

"I wanna go" moaned Rex to Nicole in the garden.

"You wanna go because you've got me in here?" replied Nicole.

"I wanna go because Big Brother won't let me into Hell… I feel really sorry for you… it takes the strongest of housemates to be in Hell with no hair straighteners, no alcohol, no food, no nothing."

We feel their pain. No really, we do.

Meanwhile the non-loved up housemates donned fetching outfits for Big Brother's exercise class. After leaping around in lycra, Lisa grabbed Sara and carried her through the house, before announcing "Love you."

"I love you more" murmured Sara.

Hmm, could there be another BB couple in the house?

FORUM: Will Rex and Nicole walk?

Luke is out

So Luke has been shown the Big Brother door. One week after his beloved Bex left the house, the Wigan wonder is facing life on the outside. Will he become one half of the next Posh and Bex? When we spoke to Bex earlier this week she said she couldn’t wait to give him a great big… hug! One thing’s for sure – it’s going to be a hot weekend ahead!

Housemates were taken by surprise tonight when Davina announced that lines had closed early and Mohamed and Rachel were the first to escape eviction. Cue much shrieking, hugs and worried faces on those still waiting to find out if they were facing the chop.

The next two to survive were Stuart and Darnell. Kat and Dale were next on the survival list, leaving only a worried looking Rex and Luke hovering by the door unable to unpack their cases.

And with Rex surviving, Nicole gets her chance to enter the house and compete for the £100,000 prize. What is it with Big Brother and couples this year?

Rex Rules

Chef Rex took it upon himself to ditch the house's food budget in favour of 57 'fun' tokens yesterday – in an attempt to spice things up. And his risky gamble seems to have paid off - as the treats arrived (including a blow-up globe, a pram, a pantomime horse, salmon and cheese), delighted HMs squealed, and Stuart later admitted it the most fun he'd had in the house. Rex was the only one left fuming, as included in the delivery was a picture of the blond who Luke and Lisa had incorrectly identified as Rex's girlfriend in the Cops and Robbers task.

"**** you, that's a ****ing insult. My girlfriend is fifty times better than her."

In other news, a sex-starved Sara is flirting with, well, anyone. Both Mikey and Darnell, who has developed a massive crush on the Aussie babe, were targets of her amorous attacks. But the most full-on flirting was reserved for Lisa – maybe Mario was right when he said Sara fancied her...

Oh yeah, and Luke continues to mope around the house looking miserable – maybe he senses he's the favourite for the chop tonight. But will he go? Will people boo him? Check back later for the all the action as it happens.

BLOG: Maysoon walks

Maysoon has packed her case and left the Big Brother house. The 28-year-old model has been feeling increasingly homesick since arriving in the house four weeks ago.

“I’ve had a good month and a really good day today — but it’s in my head to go. I never really got 100 per cent comfortable in the house. It was hard for us coming in halfway through. People already have their friends. I’m happy with the month I did. I wouldn’t change it.”

She’d been getting stick from Rex and Stuart after the housemates' entrance VTs were played.

"A lot's gone on with the VTs…" Lisa announced.

Despite Rachel, Sara and Kat’s attempts to talk her around, Maysoon was not for turning.

"Last week was my favourite week. Even in Hell."

"Are you sure you won't regret it, when you watch it on TV?" asked Rachel.

"No. No, I want to watch you guys."

And so started her round of goodbyes, with just enough time for the boys to have one last go at persuading her to stay.

"Just wait 'til Friday" said Rex.

"We've wanted to go, I've been so close, but you can't walk," added Stuart.

"I have said I want to walk but you can't quit" pleaded Dale.

"Think about it" begged Stuart.

But it wasn’t to be. "I have it in my head now I'm leaving. I want to go on a good day." A quick trip to the toilet to wipe away a stray tear and she was away into the night.
