Love And Regrets [Day 56 - Thursday 22^nd July]

In the early hours Victor and Shell make peace with one another.

Meanwhile Michelle and Stuart grab a piece of eachother!

Big Brother’s cupid couple make the most of the marriage split and commandeer the honeymoon ‘love shack’ for another session of intimate moaning and groaning. It seems that Michelle’s sulks with her 'chicken Stu' are a thing of the past.

Morning arrives and after sleeping on last night’s events Victor expresses remorse over some of his verbal tirades. “I feel like I’ve run over my kitten with my bike…” he explains.

Later, Shell and Victor are called separately to the diary room and given warnings for discussing nominations. In Victor's case it is a final warning.

Wedding Wednesday [Day 55 - Wednesday 21^st July]

Groom Victor wakes up with the grumps. He tells the diary room that he is “in the mood for a scrap”. He still wants to get the wedding task over before delivering those home truths to some of his fellow housemates.

The wedding service is a little ‘unusual’. Victor makes his vows to Shell by telling her “I’ll make love to you, when you want me to, and I’ll hold you tight, baby all through the night…” Chorister Michelle follows up with a (thankfully) inimitable version Pié Jesu.

The ceremony is followed by the wedding breakfast and there are speeches from Dan, Stuart and Victor.

Food and drink are plentiful and take their toll on Shell, who has been feeling increasing resentment towards her groom, Victor. She is annoyed and feels Victor has been very rude towards her and cites as an example Victor's refusal of her offer of a champagne topup. A moment later he received the same gesture from his jungle cat buddy Jason and readily accepted.

Anticipating further humiliation from the slick man during their scheduled wedding dance, Shell decides to challenge him about his behaviour. Victor, still eager to follow his original plan, refuses to be drawn on the matter. He tells Shell “I’ve got an evening of straight talking pencilled in for tonight”. Frustrated and incensed, Shell scurries to the bedroom and sobs inconsolably. Both Michelle and Nadia try to comfort her, but to little effect.

Big Brother announces commencement of the wedding dance. A hacked-off Victor takes his position. He moans that Shell’s hysterics aren't helping the completion of the task and points out that she was among those who villified Ahmed for the same kind of behaviour.

Mediator Dan visits Shell and suggests that Victor has a valid argument.

With the wedding dance music well underway Shell emerges . She tells Victor she will dance with him even though he is a c***. Victor responds with equal verbal aggresssion, “Get the f*** out of here!”

Shell skulks off as Victor berates her for playing the sympathy card by announcing that she was in the house so she could provide her parents with financial support. There is no wedding dance, incurring a fail for this element of the task.

Victor, Jason and Dan are sitting on the sofas. Vic is still pumped up and vents his frustrations out on Dan. He pointedly reminds Dan that he has promised to walk rather than win and asks him to stick to that promise. Dan says he will, whilst Jason watches on, looking a bit uncomfortable.

Michelle and Stuart Go Bonkers! [Day 54 - Tuesday 20^th July]

In the early hours Michelle and Stuart go bonk-ers under the Big Brother table. Viewers can't see much of their sexy feat apart from their sexy feet.

The public are left wondering “Did they or didn’t they?” The bookies are convinced, they pay out on bets that the ‘it’ event would happen during BB5.

Big Brother announces this weeks ‘nomos’ which were ‘in alphabetical order’ Dan, Jason, Nadia and Victor.

In the evening the lads have their stag night. This time the gals entertain with a spot of pole dancing. If the fixed grin on Jason’s face is anything to go by, Shell gives the sassiest performance.

Before Shell’s pole-ished act is over Michelle joins her on the podium. Nadia and Victor quickly follow. All are ecstatic and seemingly unaware that they are incurring a task penalty.

However all is not as well as it seems. With the threat of eviction looming, Victor is keen to maintain his straight talking image. Conscious of their recent early morning bickering sessions, Victor confides to Jason that after the wedding challenge is over he will be delivering a few home truths to some of the ‘nicer’ housemates. Shell eavesdrops on this conversation and the seeds of her discontent with the jungle cats are well and truly sown!

Groom Gloom [Day 53 - Monday 19^th July]

Stuart starts the day with more bonkers behaviour. Big Brother's wake up call is Motorhead's "The Ace Of Spades" and it turns Stu into a wild-thing! He prances feverishly onto Jason's bed and lashes his limbs in many directions simultaneously. A puzzled Jason stares up at Stuart.

BB announces this week’s task will be a mock wedding in which each housemate will have a different role.

For the lead roles of bride and groom thoughts naturally turn to lovebirds Michelle and Stu, however Michelle isn't too happy when Stuart expresses the view that this would be ‘a bit weird’.

“Please will you be my groom?” pleads Michelle, but Stu stands firm under pressure.

The roles for the wedding task are decided as follows:

Bride:	Shell
Groom:	Victor
Best Man:	Dan
Bridesmaid:	Nadia
Bride's Father:	Stuart
Chorister:	Michelle
Clergyman:	Jason

The boys supply the ‘full monty’ of entertainment for the girls' hen party. Well perhaps it was really a ‘half monty’; not only do the lads 'leave their hats on', they leave their thongs on as well!

Housemates Bounce Off Eachother [Day 52 - Sunday 18^th July]

The housemates are supplied with Sumo suits and enjoy bouncing the hell out of eachother!

Dan and Nadia’s spat is very comical, Nadia eventually gets the better of big man Dan and cackles uncontrollably.

Stu is very happy in his suit, he imagines wearing it to the supermarket and feels the world could be a much happier place if everyone donned them.

Is Stu starting to go bonkers?

Fishy Challenge Leaves Housemates Gutted [Day 51 - Saturday 17^th July]

Another £15000 is knocked off the prize fund as the housemates fail their fishy challenge.

Victor, Shell and Daniel all end up in a trough of stinky fish guts as their respective task partners Jason, Stuart and Nadia stumble at critical points during their quizzing from Big Brother.

Task ‘selector’ and vegetarian Michelle is given a chance to redeem all of the lost cash by drinking a disgustingly smelly fish milkshake. Michelle tearfully says that she can't face it and begs Big Brother to ask another housemate instead. She is told that if another housemate drinks the foul mixture they will reduce the loss amount by £5000.

Stuart ponders the fishy prospect. Shell decides for him, she grabs the glass and flings away it's contents.

The remaining prize money is now £56500.

Privates on Eviction Parade [Day 50 - Friday 16^th July]

Boot camp privates Ahmed, Dan, Nadia, Shell, Stuart and Victor face the eviction vote.

Ahmed attracts 56% of the vote (945,535 votes) and is ‘booted’ from the BB camp. The 44 year-old Somalian receives lots of booing but tells Davina, "I did enjoy it. I respect the public, whether they boo me or applaud me. I enjoy that - they have their rights".

The surviving nominees keep their promise to get naked in the diary room if they survive. Thankfully they handle this operation strategically so that the crafty privates’ most private bits are not on parade!
