It's eviction night, so here's a new thread for reporting & discussing the latest BB9 House gossip during the seventh week.

Previous week can be found here.

Rex stays and Belinda evicted.

Belinda has been evicted with 65% of the vote. Rex survives with a smaller share of the vote than in the Jennifer/Rex eviction vote of two weeks ago.

Glad Rex stayed as I wouldn't mind him in the last 3 at the end..

Belinda I found Ok but to live with her is another matter...

Sara - please get her out next - I do dislike her ..

I would have liked to have seen a little more of Belinda. She was very different.

Her eviction interview with Davina was hilarious. She completely took over.

Waste is leaving a sour taste

ANGRY viewers hit by soaring food bills have bombarded BB bosses with complaints about housemates wasting nosh ...

It's an absolute disgrace.

I can accept an occasional incident & maybe a light-hearted water-fight in the garden. However, this lot have gonje far too far.

Rach's tears for tooth trauma
By JIMMY LLOYD

WELSH softie Rachel fears she’ll marched off Big Brother after a cap in her tooth came loose.

The teacher wept after telly bosses warned her they’d have to bring in dental experts.

Show rules state contestants can seek limited treatment – but that prolonged medical attention can lead to eviction.

She emerged from the diary room in tears after complaining of the tooth pain.

She said: “Big Brother’s going to seek urgent medical advice.

“I don’t want to leave!”


But it’s not all bad, as Luke had some advice of his own. He said: “Just try not to talk.” Wise words...

The Sun, 19/07/08.

Luke asking someone not to talk? Bloody cheek! :D

The housemates start arguing about who'll be Head of House...

Laughter, taking the mickey, smiles, messing around -- it was all happening in the Kitchen as the Hellmates prepared lunch for themselves and their neighbours in Heaven.

Then Big Brother interrupted with news of a task. Rex went to the Diary Room to collect the instructions. Housemates were to decide on three of their number to take part in a task. The task would consist of dressing up and hanging from a tyre swing in the Garden and the winner would become Head of House.

"I'll have a go," squealed Rebecca excitedly. But that's where the fun stopped. Within minutes, a full-scale argument had erupted.

It started with a suggestion from Darnell to Stuart because he didn't want to be involved. "Because I can't do it," he said, "I'll pick three numbers from one to 10 and tell them to you."

"You're not Head of House any more Darnell, butt out," said Rex.

"Stop talking to me like that, man," spat Darnell, all ready to blow his top.

Lots of shouting followed with people volunteering themselves, suggesting ways the votes should be cast and generally trying to shout louder than everyone else. And then Rachel made a suggestion which nobody else heard, but sent Darnell into a rage. "All the people wanna ******* do it man," he screamed at her.

And then it was all-out shouting. "You're a baby, a little baby," shouted Dale at Darnell.

"You're supposed to be my friend," Darnell shouted back, "and you ******* take the ****."

"What are you running your mouth for if I'm supposed to be your friend?" demanded Dale.

Gradually, the situation calmed down and the group decided it would be Rebecca, Maysoon and Dale who would hang from the tyre in an attempt to become Head of House.





HAHAHA

Bex was off the tyre within 10 minutes - she was in pain .

Thats her up for nomination !!

Rebecca fell off after less than five minutes.




Dale and Maysoon had managed about half an hour before one or two of the housemates began to enviously eye the bananas hanging from the tyre swing.

"I'm gonna have a banana," Mohamed whispered to Rex, eyeing the fruit that Big Brother had forbidden the non-apes to eat.

"Seriously?" asked Rex, "you wouldn't."

"How much you wanna bet?" asked Mohamed laughing. "I know I ain't gonna stay [in Heaven] anyway. Either way I'm gonna be in Hell."

And the dissension just kept growing as Kathreya began to think the bananas were looking mighty tasty.

"If you touch a banana, you're going to Hell," Luke reminded Kathreya of the rule Big Brother had laid down. But it was no good. Mohamed vaulted the fence and grabbed a bunch of bananas.

"He's gonna get severely punished for crossing the fence," warned Luke.

And then, with a little help from Mohamed, Kathreya was over the fence too

"Well done Kat, I'm proud of you," laughed Rachel, eating an apple.


They have been told the punishment is coming - as to what ??

Do we know who is the new Head of House?

:)

No Dale & May are still swinging on their tyres :D ..

BB web site ;

Mohamed and Kat are punished for going bananas...

Shock! Big Brother has asked Kathreya and Mohamed to pack their suitcases, after the pair stole and ate bananas during the Hanging Around Task, despite being warned not to.

After the announcement, Kathreya burst into tears, and Rachel comforted her, before also beginning to cry.

"Oh my God," Sara repeated. "Oh my God."

"That's an ejection," predicted Stuart.

"It's not," Sara gasped. "They would not. I dunno... oh no!"

But Luke was more sceptical: "No, it's blatantly psychological. They'll make 'em pack 'em."

Mohamed laughed about the announcement with Rex, before hugging a sobbing Kathreya.

"Kat, Kat it doesn't mean anything," Rebecca insisted to the masseuse. "It's not gonna happen. They're not going to chuck you out. I promise you a million per cent they're not."


"It's a mind game," Luke assured her.

And Sara agreed: "They're not gonna get rid of Kat and Mo!"

But are they?

Rex, shut up or leave! All this talk about how much he hates being in the house but "doesn't want to walk out" is bullshine. If he really hated it that much he would leave, there is nothing to stop him.
I think Rex is deep down very insecure and is trying to create an idea that when he does get evicted it is because "he wanted it" not that he is more disliked than someone else.

Dale wins Head of House.

Maysoon jumped of her swing at 11.20pm, making Dale the winner.

I agree entirely.

The record really needs to be changed.

:)

Dale gets dumped by his girlfriend & Jen strips off.

As you would imagine.

Belinda Harris-Reid's verdict on the house

KAT - BUBBLY but sometimes she looks angry and then puts on this cookie power front. Not sure about her. I wouldn't like to cross her and don't think she will win.

MOHAMED - PEOPLE attack him saying he's an absolute idiot and fool but I don't think he is. Surprised he doesn't stick up for himself more though.

LUKE - CHEEKY chappy. Admitted he would never normally choose Bex on the outside world but I think he will struggle if she goes before him. They are a duo at the moment.

REBECCA - SHE is very self-deprecating and puts herself down a lot but she is incredibly bright. People thought I was her mother, which was bizarre.

RACHEL - I FIRST thought she wasn't being honest but got her completely wrong. She's nice.

DALE - FANTASTIC guy, bright and should definitely win. He's my No.1. If I was 25 years younger I would bed him. Lovely young man and very fit.

MIKEY - WOW, such a funny man. Incredible. Says things that are inappropriate but it's all in good humour.

STUART - HAD a great connection with him. He's missing his little girl enormously but is a very interesting man. Have been working out with him in the garden and again if I was 25 years younger I would.

DARNELL - CAN'T work out what he is doing. People think he is playing a big game and is out to win but he is hugely paranoid.

REX - COMES from a privileged background but shows off about it and is very mean. Some remarks are quite attacking and not funny.

LISA - ONE of the most decent, honourable people I've ever met. She mothers that house and is a brilliant woman. Completely fake on the outside but wonderfully genuine on the inside.

MAYSOON - BEAUTIFUL but quiet. To be honest I can't work out what she brings to the house or why Big Brother picked her.

SARA - SWEET Australian but screams too much. Picks up on rifts in the house but she does get ignored by the others.

Daily Star Sunday, 20/07/08.

So Luke and Mikey are turning militant over punishments...and it is a complete coincidence that Mo and Kat are the ones facing sanction. :D

A complete coincidence indeed.

:D

Bex and Luke are in heaven

BEX faced an anxious wait this morning before learning she WOULD join lover Luke in heaven.

New Head of House Dale put her through an X-Factor style pause before announcing she was on his list.

She will live a life of luxury with her very own Mr Muscle, Stu, May and Rex who were also picked.

Unhappy Mikey, Lisa and Sara all face a second consecutive week in hell as a result.

The remaining housemates will move the other way as part of the shake-up.

Banana thieves Kat, Mo and Darnell were all banned from selection as a result of their rule-breaking.

Mikey looked upset at the news, while Lisa did her best to put a brave face on it.

In the bedroom after, Stu joked to the blind comic: "We'll be thinking of you when we're sat stuffing chocolate cake."

Kisses and hugs were exchanged as the new groups met on either side of the divide.

As Bex and Luke made their way, they shouted back to Mikey 'sorry!'

While smug Rex told May: "Mikey wouldn't benefit much over this side."

As always, Kat did her best to look on the bright side and broke into song within minutes.

"Happy, happy, happy hell," she sang, to the amusement of Lisa.

Rex is bighead of house.

REX is confident of becoming Head of House next week - and he doesn't care who knows it.

The cocky chef reckons he could have won the crown at any point so far but just didn't fancy it.

And he's also revealed that if he won the £100k prize money he would plough it into yet another of his swanky restaurants.

Luke was quizzing him over the fact that he's so rich he doesn't need the dosh.

Rex said he would like the cash to pump into yet another of his family's swanky restaurants.

"It would go into that," he smirked, "and I'd put a portion into charity."

The Sun, 20/07/08.

Mohamed: I fancy Maysoon

MOHAMED sobbed as he opened up to Kathreya in a late-night chat ...

Full article, the Sun, 20/07/08.

As I very gradually go off Darnell and Rex, I am liking Mohamed more and more.

Big Brother star's ex girlfriend warns Jennifer Clark: I'll fight for Dale

Big Brother hunk Dale Howard dumped his stunning girlfriend three weeks before he went into the house - but then vowed not to romance any girls on the show.

But Aimee Williams, 21, was devastated when he ended up being kissed by semi-naked Jennifer in the shower.

Now beautiful Aimee says she plans to meet her PE teacher ex when he comes out of the house - and says she will fight to rekindle their passionate relationship ...

Another one cashes in, full article, Sunday Mirror, 20/07/08.

I'm going off Mo & Darnell.

Still liking Rex ( big head that he is ) ..

Heavenly lot got their party last night




Dale dared Rebecca to do ten topless star jumps by the pool - and she did :o

Oh dear Rebecca, she really has no pride.

Recently Rex has been taking shots at Rachel. A lot of people on the forums are saying that he is just gently poking fun at a good friend, as opposed to being unpleasant.

I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem very nice to me.

Rex is seriously beginning to annoy me. He kept taunting Rachel for not jumping the fence to steal bananas, but didn't dare do so himself.
Then was that long rant about how Rachel would just be "average" all her life though he was sligtly floundered by her reply "but I will be happy" Rex has admitted in the diary room he actually came into BB to find new friends...how sad is he? All that cash Rex but no friends, ever wondered why? I was also a bit curious about Dale's choice of Heaven mates. Why give Rex and May another stint in heaven and let Sara and Lisa suffer two weeks in hell?

Did Dale make some sort of deal with May before the end of the Head of House task?

Rex, I'm not sure why he was taken through.

Lisa to write book after show
By JIMMY LLOYD

MOST of the time, Lisa may look lost for words.
But she’s claimed to hiding a stash of secret stories – saying she wants to pen a book when Big Brother ends.

So far, Lisa’s below-par anecdotes have bored fellow housemates.

She’s strung out tales about a museum in Warrington – “There was a huge seal. I can’t believe how big it was!” – and how lover Mario often has dirty shirts.

But the bodybuilder told housemates that she has a treasure-chest of tales.

She said: “I’m forty and I’ve told you nothing.

“I should write a book really.”

Well, if Chantelle can do one...

The Sun, 21/07/08.

Please, someone tell Lisa not to write a book.

:)

'Rebecca is using Luke'

COMIC Mikey didn't hold back with his views on lovers Bex and Luke today.

"Luke has been brainwashed by Rebecca," Mikey stated to Mo.

"She's just using him.

"They are not a couple," Mikey ranted on. "If they are, they should just come out and say it.

"She'll just dump him afterwards - Luke's probably never had attention like that before from a girl."

That's a little harsh...

"She drinks, she smokes - she's everything he hates."

Hmm, could someone be a tad peeved that Bex and Luke are in heaven, while they languish in hell?

The Sun, 21/07/08.


:D :D :D

Funny as last week dragged on I began to have some sympathy for the hell HM's and began finding some faults with the Heaven ones whom I mostly liked. It took a single night of viewing to flip back.
Dale is now my pet hate, he is a prat and then some. Luke and Bex grow more tiresome by the second...
I have a horrible feeling that it could be a Mo/Darnell nomination this week.

It was great seeing Mo stand up to Dale. Well done to him.

As for Dale's talk to BB in the Diary Room, why can't he speak for more than about 30 seconds without referring to a male's private area.

Rumour.

Facing the eviction vote this week will be Rebecca, Darnell and Mohamed.

This is probably quite reliable as it is being reported by Heat World.

Darnit! I may have to ruin my phone bill with a redial on Bex. :lol:

Yes if it is these - Rebecca out ...

Darnell is taking it well - NOT :lol:
