| Nadia Almada's Day Of Acceptance! [Day 71 - Friday 6th August] It's 'Day 71' - the Big Brother day of reckoning, and another Big Brother morning of wakening, this time with a difference, "This is Big Brother... get your arses out of bed!" BB's direct approach was much appreciated by the housemates "I like it 'girlfriend', I like it!" says Nadia. Showing a softer side, Big Brother provides some beauty product samples. One of the products must not be sprayed on the face and Nadia looks comical wearing her protective face mask and goggles. She visits the diary room this afternoon and tells of how 'proud' she is to have made it to the final day. Big Brother asks her how she hopes people will view her. It is obvious that this is something that means a lot to her "…I would like people to view me…as someone who… like 'there is nothing holding you back for what you want to do, or your dreams and what you feel inside'. Y'know, the minute you find your soul, go after it! And that's what I would like people to view me as." Out in the garden Dan and Jason are chatting about what might happen tonight... "You could be the winner Dan" says Jason.
Dan disagrees "I doubt it…you and Nadia are very strong contenders…I'm quite happy with that"
"Well you didnay wanna win it anyway did you?" Jason reminds him.
"Exactly that's me happy" says Dan nonchalantly.
"But you wouldn't say no to it right enough?" a smirk grows on Jason's face.
Dan's reply is rather puzzling "Well, it's what the nation wants isn't it? You can't deny that! But erm, I think you 3 would appreciate it more. Do you see what I'm saying? I would be very uncomfortable with the title of winner."
"I know I would certainly appreciate it" affirms the Scot, who now breaks off into song… Abba's "The winner takes it all"! In only a few hours they will all be back in the real world. Shell sentimentally bids farewell to each area of the house separately, "Bye kitchen I've enjoyed making meals in you…Bye bye garden!" Later in the bedroom Nadia and Shell are readying themselves. Nadia reveals what she calls her 'piece de resistance' a beautiful black evening gown. Shell's cooking must have padded her with a few extra pounds because Dan has to be called over to help Shell zip her into it. 'Don't fall out!" jokes the big man. Nadia whips her knickers off from under her dress. "I've got smaller one's inside…" she explains, before taking a peek up her dress "Just double checking!"
"It's still there!" quips Shell. Just before 9pm the housemates assemble on the sofas.
"This could well be the biggest night of my life…" says Jason
"For all of us" agrees Nadia. Dan looks somewhat apprehensive, thinking 'oh no! I hope I don't win?' …perhaps. Davina announces "I can now reveal that the housemate finishing in fourth place is…[long pause]…Shell!" Shell excitedly hugs everyone, applies some lip gloss and grabs her handbag. ""I'm going to see my family! Guys have a f*****g great time! …you have been an utter pleasure!" Booming Big Brother asks Shell to leave. "I love you lots…Bye!" she tells her housebuddies before going to greet the cheering crowd with a petite wave. Dan, Jason and Nadia have their ears against the door. They can hear lots of cheers for Nadia. "That was a big crowd for you there Nadia" says Jason. He is smiling and there is no hint of jealousy.
Nadia seems a little embarrassed, "It's my friends, it's my friends!"
"No there was masses there, wasn't there?" says the Scot.
"Nadia! Nadia!" chants Dan, in a mimic of the crowd. "Doesn't it make you feel good though?" he asks Nadia.
"It makes me feel good but…" she finally concedes graciously "Ok thank you I'm enjoying it." Jason jokes with Nadia "D'ya wanna do a wee deal, do you wanna halve the prize money whoever wins?" Nadia goes to say yes but stops short. "Did ya hear that? 'I'm winning, I'm gonna win….'" teases Jason.
"It's not that, she's spent it already" laughs Dan
"Exactly I've spent it already!" jokes Nadia. She takes a drag from her ciggie and becomes a little more serious.
"I think you guys are gonna see soon…but for me it's not about the money." Nadia adds to her gravitas when she repeats her words. Jason is curious "What do you mean, did you say in the diary room why you're on the show and all that?" "What's that?" asks Nadia coyly before breaking into a broad smile.
Jason continues to probe, eliciting embarrased giggles from Nadia. "What do you mean we're gonna see soon?" he asks.
"Nothing at all?" fibs Nadia, "To me…it's what I say it's not about the money…"
"No but you say we're gonna see soon…" persists J.
"Exactly" she relents "I've said it in the diary room…" Jason probes no longer, probably content to know he will find out eventually. Davina's voice enters the house again. "I can now reveal that the housemate finishing in 3rd place is … [the usual long pause] … Daniel." Dan raises his arms in the air in open mouthed amazement.
"Ohhhh Danny Boy!" shouts Jason.
Jason hugs Dan.
"F*****g hell!" exclaims Nadia.
"I'm so excited!" screams evictee Dan. He jumps over the sofa and runs up and down the room. While Jason and Nadia embrace and congratulate one another. "We had great fun didn't we? It's like a love-hate relationship me and you innit?" remarks Jason.
"Yes it is, isn't it" says Nadia wearing a forced looking smile.
"Yeah he loves you and you hate him!" quips Dan. About half an hour later and it's time for Dan to leave. "Daniel" Davina calls out in a beguiling tone, "…you finished third in Big Brother 2004, you now have 30 seconds to say your goodbyes … I'm coming to get you!" Jason gives Dan a hug and Nadia leads him to the door, "You look fabulous…enjoy it."
The countdown commences, "Knock em dead big man…I'll see you for a pint at the bar!" promises Jason.
It's "Bye guys!" from trilby hatted Dan as he walks to the outer door to prepare for his exit pose. Jason and Nadia are happy to hear the crowd cheer, "High fives Nadia!" beckons Jason, they smack hands. "At least we're gonna get cheered. That was one of my biggest fears" says the Scotsman.
"Yea…my biggest as well" agrees Nadia. The next time the noises of the crowd are pumped into the house they both know that this is it. The Big Brother winner is about to be announced. "Good luck! pal" says Jason
"Big Brother House…" It's Davina!
Jason moves over to sit next to Nadia. He puts his arm around her neck and she holds on to him. "I never thought I'd see you two hugging!" pipes Davina.
"I know!" laughs Nadia. Eventually Davina says those fateful words "I can reveal that the winner of Big Brother 2004 is…[super long pause] …Nadia! Nadia lets out a yell and starts shaking with delight.
Jason seems happy for Nadia "Well done pal! You alright?"
The shock has affected Nadia's breathing, she takes short sobbing breaths. Jason gives her a comfort hug as she cries into his chest.
"Oh My God! Oh My God!" she cries.
"You won it!" shouts Jason.
She trembles; Jason asks if she wants a cigarette. She grabs one from the table and waves to the cameras. It's time for Jason's exit. He hugs Nadia again and they walk together to the door. He plants a kiss on the winner's forehead. "I'm cool man…enjoy it…I'll see you for a beer" says J.
"Yea" says Nadia.
The countdown ends "I'll see you later!" Jason says as he enters the corridor. He listens, "boos" he reports to Nadia. "No you'll be fine!" Jason doesn't look too sure, as he ambles to the outer exit to face the crowd. Nadia now has to wait in the house while Davina interviews Jason. She is still sobbing tears of joy. She takes a drag from her cigarette and suddenly becomes calm… until of course it's time for her to leave... Nadia crosses herself and says a prayer. Davina tells her "The doors are about to be unlocked so you can walk out of the house as the winner babe, the winner of Big brother 2004."
"Thank you so much. Thank you!!" yells Nadia. It's time to go, Davina is coming to get her, Nadia crosses herself once more on her way to the door and to a new life of acceptance.

| The Finale Countdown! [Day 70 - Thursday 5th August] To mark the housemates' last full day in the Big Brother house this morning's wake-up is 'The Final Countdown' by Europe. Even Jason gets excited; he stretches his arm aloft and shouts "Rock On!" Nadia and Shell celebrate by bouncing on their beds like kiddies. In the diary room Dan is thinking about tomorrow "Shell's a little worried because she's not experienced with crowds, bless her. I'm gonna kind of teach her some basics of how to deal with the baying crowd who want your blood!" Dan's experience in this matter comes from his local celebrity status in Hull performing with his band 'Ice House' (…although his fans hopefully aren't after his blood!) Today the group have the fun task of nominating BB5 housemates 'past and present' for this year's Big Brother Awards. Three housemates must be selected for each category and the winner will be decided by a public vote on the official big brother website. The award results will be revealed tonight. Jason isn't too happy with their nominations for one category, "…that 'Best Looking' still gripes me, I would say I'm the best looking in here …the whole body, everything!"
"Sweetheart you weren't hired for your face" Dan tells him.
"He's being serious as well!" replies Jason, breaking into a big smile. In the diary room BB asks Nadia what she feels has been the highlight of her stay. "It's been everything!" says Nadia "It's been tough times and you've been a little bit evil and you've been a little bit malicious but everything has been great. It's gonna be part of me for the rest of my life, what can I say? It's great, great great!" For their last night together in the house BB rewards the housemates with a formal dinner complete with 3 course meal, floral arrangement on the table and balloons! Jason correctly guesses that BB will call a housemate to the diary room during the meal to scare them into thinking there will be another Stuart style eviction, although he's confident that "they won't do that old chestnut twice". Shell isn't so sure, so when BB calls her name she gives everybody a goodbye hug "just in case!" Nadia puts her ear to the diary room door and calls out "Shell!"
"I'm still here!" Shell confirms.
"Bless!" says a motherly Nadia.
Shell is asked by Big Brother if Stuart's eviction has increased her desire to win, "No…its…you get to the stage where you kind of realise whatever is going to happen is going to happen and you can't change it…however much you desire something …you can't change it and what happens happens. And I'm not expecting to win and if that happened…therefore, it would be beyond anything I can imagine" Or to paraphrase, 'I'd love to win!' The Big Brother Awards follow dinner. Dan, Nadia, Shell and Jason take turns as announcers and handle the whole thing very professionally! It probably won't be too long before some of them pop up at the Brits or MTV awards so it's a great opportunity for some practice! Dan kicks off by announcing that Shell is the winner of the 'Biggest Crybaby' category. Naturally Shell has to cut her acceptance speech short because she is about to cry! Stuart is awarded the title of 'Best Looking' housemate, but as is de rigeur for this type of ceremony Dan announces "unfortunately this evening Stuart can't be with us…" explaining that "…he was whisked away somewhere last night and we haven't seen him since!" Jason Cowan (or is it Connery?) enthusiastically announces the next award in his best 007 accent. It's the award for "Best Dressed Housemate" which goes to "the fabulous, the glamourous Nadia!" The Scot then awards the title of "Most Vain Housemate" to himelf! He is delighted, "On behalf myself I'd just like to thank Big Brother for having such fabulous mirrors and windows!" The list below shows the nominees for each category. The winners are highlighted in red… | Category | Nominees | Reason | | Best Looking Housemate | Stuart | flowing locks | | Vanessa | stunning face | | Shell | Now she’s finally been ‘Dan’-ed | | Biggest Cry Baby | Shell | forever crying | | Nadia | being emotional | | Becki | being sensitive | | Best Dressed Housemate | Nadia | being fabulous | | Michelle | dress sense | | Ahmed | with collar up, shades on | | Rudest Housemate | Becki | showing off her pants | | Nadia | saying "move" | | Marco | saying 'f*** you' | | Most Successful Rebel | Kitten | breaking the rules | | Victor | climbing on the roof | | Michelle | messing with the Diary Room camera | | Most Vain Housemate | Jason | having a favourite garden mirror | | Nadia | being a make- up queen | | Michelle | being a make- up queen | | Most Liberated Housemate | Shell | going naked | | Michelle | showing her boobs | | Nadia | showering in high-heels | | Greediest Housemate | Nadia | always grabbing food | | Ahmed | always grabbing food | | Daniel | always grabbing food | | Biggest Asset to the Group | Daniel | hairdresser and mediator | | Shell | cooking | | Nadia | fabulousness | | Laziest Housemate | Ahmed | never washing up | | Jason | sleeping all the time | | Stuart | not knowing they owned a mop | The housemates are having a great time dishing out awards but there's only one that they really want and that's 'Big Brother 5 Winner (2004)'... …Shell unfurled the envelope...and the winner is 'Big Brother will get back to you'!!

| Stuart The Party-Goer [Day 69 - Wednesday 4th August] The sounds of noisy animals fill the house this morning, and for a change the housemates aren't to blame! It's the first installment of today's wakey-wakey call, swiftly followed by the delightful din of heavy machinery. It's hot outside, so BB decides cold showers will remain the order of the day. Stuart isn't having any of this. He rolls his own hot shower by positioning a tray beneath the hot water tap and letting the water trickle down. Nadia is so impressed with his invention she wears high-heels again for her 'Stu' shower! Dan, Jason and Shell are enjoying the morning sun in the garden and reflecting on how the BB experience has affected them. "This has probably made you quite a stronger person Shell hasn't it?" says Jason. "Yeah it really has…I think it's a good thing…Normally if something goes wrong I say 'oh it's fine it doesn't matter' and sometimes its really to my detriment…It will be a lot better in terms of just telling people to F off at times." "This will probably be the first time that my real mum would have seen me as a grown man" reveals Jason. "Have you ever had any desire to meet them?" Shell asks. "Yea…" says J "I'll do it when I'm (ready)… it would just be funny thinking that this woman sees me now as a 30 year old man, 'cause she will know who I am." Shell has similar feelings "That's how I feel about dad...the last time he saw me I was about 12…he'll see me now. I'm really glad in a way 'cause I hope he's alright… he'll know that I've got a degree, and he'll know that I've got a boyfriend and that we're all okay and…" "Maybe now you could maybe meet him and just have a chat from your point of view, as a part of your life which is missing" suggests J "…I'm sure he'd be totally proud of you and everything you've done…" "Yea, it would be nice" agrees Shell "I'd hate to turn up at his funeral or something…life is too short for these things!" Jason tells her "I'm adopted and I've never known my blood parents. From my point of view I'm trying to say to you, you should…just because he's your blood father you know… just because I don't know who mine are… I think it would be a shame if you just went through your life just not even… at least phoning them or something like that man." "Yea, definitely" says Shell with conviction. "I'm sure he'll be dying to meet you" J tells her. It made genuinely touching viewing. It looks like Jason will be seeing his mum after he leaves the house. The Daily Record has reported that she would really like to be reunited with him. It's suitcase time again this afternoon and the housemates are given an hour to pack. Big Brother has kept its subjects guessing about evictions, nevertheless there is real excitement in the air. Eviction junkie Jason is happy, he gives Dan a high-five "It's gotta be man! ... one person's gonna go tonight, I can sense it!" Basking in the garden, Nadia is less enthusiastic "I am p*ssed off already, it's silly games. Why pack in one hour? We have the whole f*****g afternoon!" By the time she gets around to packing, Nadia is showing signs of stress.
Dan mocks her, "I con't cope, this is too much! I'm having a breakdown!"
Nadia agrees "I literally am!"
She begins to sing "…can't liii-iii-iii-iii-iii-vv-e!!!! (if living is without you)"
Think nails and blackboard, Nadia might not have broken down but her voice has! Eviction feelings mount later this afternoon when Shell and Stu think they see people peering under the door. "It's going down tonight, Scaaaary!" says Stu. Shell is less frightened. She tells Nadia, "Normally I'm s***ing my pants, but this time I'm like 'bring it on'; I will be scared when my name is called though!" Dan visits Big Brother and proffers an analysis of Jason and Nadia
"Jason reacts like that (clicks of fingers) to any kind of…he's immediately on the defensive. Nadia is the same. Jason and Nadia are so alike it's unbelievable!
They both put on big fronts to hide what's underneath, and they have done the whole time. Neither of them likes themselves very much yet on the outside they completely portray this image that's ''I love me, I love me, look at me, look at me' …They feel very, very vulnerable…" Maybe Dan will get a spot as a tabloid agony uncle when he leaves the house? Big Brother asks Dan if he thinks of himself as a 'control freak'.
"Yeah!" affirms Dan "Completely…I think that's quite obvious? And it's been quite cathartic for me…being completely in somebody elses control…I actually quite like it" Later in the afternoon Big Brother calls a housemate to the diary room.
Jason volunteers "Not you Jason!" booms BB.
Stuart tries "Not you Stuart!"
Shell tries "Not you Shell!" As a wind up Big Brother only allows Nadia inside to collect a laminate relating to today's "Big Brother Time Capsule" task. Each housemate must create a personal capsule. They must include a self-portrait and a personal item they associate with their time in the house.
They go through a ritual where each exlpains their personal item and displays their portrait. - Dan's portrait has no body and very long legs - Danny long legs perhaps?
- Jason's portrait is very funny and quite accurate, if a little Neanderthal.
- Nadia draws herself as a plant and her face is its smiling flower.
- Princess Shell's portrait is suitably girly, like a fairy princess.
- Stuart looks to have borrowed Jason's body for his self-portrait, although with long locks and 'TH' power-belt it is definitely Stu.
The reward for successfully completing the task is a party! It's a great excuse for locking the housemates in the bedroom and playing them loud music. This prevents them from hearing the crowd outside as it assembles in readiness for tonight's surprise eviction! After eating their party grub Big Brother invites housemates onto the floor to 'D.I.S.C.O.'. With the party in full swing and everyone having a great time, Big Brother calls Stuart to the Diary room. Stuart grabs a few balloons and dances his way to the diary door. Stuart is ecstatic and thanks Big Brother for the great party. Big Brother cuts to the quick, "Stuart… Since Friday night the public have been voting for the winner of Big Brother…Tonight a vote count was taken, the housemate with the least number of votes to win is to be evicted. You are that housemate." "Tonight?" asks Stu, releasing his balloons. Despite the shock Stuart retains his trademark enthusiasm, "It's been cool…I've enjoyed every minute. Thank you very much." Evictee Stu is led out of the diary room and into the exit corridor. It's goodbye Stu! Inside the house his partying housemates are suddenly stunned by the deafening sound of the crowd cheering and shouting for him. "Has he won it?" wonders Jason.
"If he has it will be brilliant!" says Shell.
"He's won it!" declares Jason.
"He must have and he deserves it!" Shell lets out a squeal and claps like a seal, or Marco maybe. The very positive crowd reaction received by Stuart confuses the housemates.
"Stu has to win…that noise…that crowd. Stu has to be a winner." says Shell.
"But Stu was going to get that anyway, because of all the girlies!" points out Dan. In the diary room Jason finds out the truth. He is glad Stuart had a good reception but he's really shocked to still be in the house "This is the most unbelievable thing that's ever happened to me all my life! … I'd have put £500 on this guy (Stu) winning this show man!" Jason breaks the news to the other housemates. Nadia reacts calmly. It's a little later when the shock registers… DJ Big Brother has been playing the housemates their favourite songs. Nadia's favourite, Madonna's 'La Isla Bonita' has just started. Nadia seems really happy, smiling and dancing along with the housemates. Disco Dan begins singing the words to her and Nadia starts sobbing uncontrollably. No, it wasn't Dan's singing! When Nadia recovers composure she explains these are tears of joy, "You don't know where I'm coming from. It's like a dream come true…"
Shell comforts Nadia "You okay chic?"
Nadia continues, "I'm fine …you guys, I'm just shocked to be here but it's a long story, it's a long story…my life hasn't been a straight line" Even Jason consoles Nadia! "Everybody's here man…this is, 'well done guys', it's been tough but we've all got here man!"
|
| The Mole-strom [Day 68 - Tuesday 3rd August] Big Brother is unhappy with the housemates over their nomination rebellion yesterday. If the housemates think they got off lightly they are wrong! - Overnight the hot-tub has been marked 'out of bounds' and cordoned off.
- There is no hot water in the bathroom.
- Luxury food items have been retrieved from the kitchen.
Shell is the first to experience Big Brother's vengeance. "There's no hot water in the showers!" she tells Nadia, then Jason. J is wise "…they're trying to p*** us off because we're not playing the game." Nadia is unimpressed "Is this really necessary Big Brother?" Stuart checks the kitchen cupboards and recalls a dim and distant word from his vocabulary... "Nooooooo!" The famous five are locked in the living area for a few hours in the morning and to add insult to injury when they go back in the bedroom they find that all their duvets are missing! Whilst Nadia is alone in the bedroom she hears a noise from behind one of the mirrored walls. She investigates and peers into the 2-way mirror. Behind the mirror a newspaper has been left on a chair near a light. The headline reads "BB Mole Tops Poll". In fact, the paper has been mocked-up and planted by Big Brother as part of a cunning plan to inject an extra dose of paranoia into the house! Nadia goes to the bathroom and asks Dan what a 'mole' is; he tells her it's a 'little animal'. Nadia takes him to the bedroom to see for himself. Crafty Big Brother allows enough time for Dan to register the headline before requesting that "…housemates come away from the window". Jason isn't surprised when Dan tells him what he saw "I honestly think that the mole's been Nadia…that's what I've been thinking for the last week and a half!"
"It doesn't make any sense! We don't need a mole" reasons Dan.
"Maybe it's you J and you're covering your tracks?" chips in Stuart.
"Hey Wilson, you're quite clever ey!" J replies. In the diary room Jason reveals the basis for his hunch that Nadia is a plant. He's been thinking she is "in here just to create certain situations, certain atmospheres just to really, really irritate people." Jason tells BB he is looking forward to when he leaves "I would love to leave here and get a cheer…it would be nice…I'm sure if I'm that hated I can always emigrate can't I?" It isn't just mole speculation causing a storm in the house. This afternoon at around 3:30pm the weather takes a dramatic turn in the form of a massive thunderstorm. Dan, Jason and Stuart enjoy the spectacle from the decking. Soothsayer Jason predicts "…fork lightening will come down and rattle some of those lights".
The next instant there is a massive flash, the guys jump out of their skins! "Holy Moley!" shouts Stuart; he's obviously still trying to puzzle out the mole situation. It's not clear whether evil BB was responsible for that thunderstorm but an hour or so later the omniscient one stirs up a plasma storm. "This is Big Brother, would one housemate turn on the plasma?" Stu obliges and the housemates look at the screen expectantly. On plasma they see Nadia in the diary room. She is shown nominating Dan.
"They're gonna show us all the nominations!" shouts an excited Stu.
Nadia watches her image and covers her face in horror "Oh my god! I look ridiculous!" A very unhappy Shell declares "I don't want to see any of these, can we switch it off?" "Well...no Shell!" pleads Dan. Shell ignores him and turns off the plasma just as Stuart shows up on screen nominating her. Stu protests "Oh turn it on, I want to watch it please." She relents and the picture is restored. Jason is next on screen, nominating Nadia. "It's horrible!" moans Shell.
Dan pops on screen nominating Shell "…she has a habit of talking over you sometimes." Shell nods apologetically "I do though!" Finally Shell is seen nominating Nadia. "I'm so sorry Nadia…that was 6 weeks ago!" Stuart really enjoyed BB's nasty treat. "That was awesome that was!" However Shell is still unhappy. She retreats to the decking and is followed by Nadia who assures her "Darling, do not worry…its ridiculous". Shell throws a tantrum, stomps her feet and shouts "I hate it! I hate that bit of being in here! …It makes me so angry! They knew the one to pick…they knew exactly the one to pick!" She lets out a scream and kicks her bare foot against a post on the decking. "Owww!" ...Shell begins to cry. "You've broken your foot now haven't you!" says Nadia. Dan arrives, "Darling, it's exactly what they want…you're giving them exactly what they want." He helps to straighten out Shell's stubbed toes as Nadia reminds Shell that everyone will see the nominations eventually. Jason observes the calamity from the sofa, he can't help laughing! It's been a dfficult day for the now-famous five. They must be wondering what evil Big Brother will be up to next. Stuart is so concerned he visits the the diary room... "I just feel it's time to just say…'dude and dude'…we've come along way, now is not the time for us to fall out…" Big Brother asks why Stu's taken it upon himself to be the housemates' peace envoy. He explains, "It's just time …It's just time…to just…we've all just got to be as one and just enjoy …enjoy ourselves ….and just think…it's been good knowing you bro…and I'm sure…like I know you know the cold tough image you've got to keep up 'n all…but y'know you've just got to let the barriers down and let the good time's rol-l-l on!" Kofi Annan watch out! |
| Shall We Stay Or Shall We Go? [Day 67 - Monday 2nd August] The housemates awaken to a cacophony of cackles! Big Brother plays them a mix of their own laughter. Shell has a bad reaction, she buries her head in her pillow and demands Big Brother "Stop it!" Unusually Jason isn't sleeping through today's wakey-wakey, he's already out in the garden, enjoying a lovely summer morning! Later this morning it's Big Brother who is having a laugh! BB tells the housemates they have an hour to pack their suitcases. This shocks most of the housemates. Nadia is angry. She warns the bedroom camera "I'm fuming! I'm fumigating right now!" before marching off to the shower area to say some pre-eviction prayers. During lunch Big Brother calls for a housemate to come to the diary room, Nadia volunteers herself. Big Brother tells her "You must not discuss this diary room conversation with your fellow housemates. Big Brother will take the breaking of this rule very seriously. Do you understand?" "Yes…what's going on?" says a very worried looking Nadia. After a long pause Big Brother says "You are now free to leave the diary room." Nadia is looking very confused! Moments later Dan and Jason have a dinner table strop over the ownership of a glass of Ribena! Jason sheds doubt on whether Dan ever had a glass of Ribena. Indignant Dan retrieves his Ribena from the bedroom and slams it on the table for proof. As afternoon turns to evening the housemates still don't know whether there will be an eviction. However, unlike the others, Jason enjoys the prospect of another eviction. He tells Dan he likes the excitement, and his favourite days in the house are Mondays (nominating), Tuesdays (nomination results) and Fridays (evictions). Dan seems shocked "You're telling me you enjoy nominations?" "It's just a game" explains J. "You're a twisted f***!" he tells the muscle-man. Nadia collects a laminate from the diary room disclosing plans for a nomination session. "Today housemates will nominate for one final time. You will each be required to make one nomination and explain your reasons for this nomination. These nominations must be made face to face with your fellow housemates rather than in the diary room…" "No way" says Shell. She and Dan are sick of nominating. The group discusses what action to take. Jason suggests that they nominate but give 'light-hearted' reasons. Shell says "Let's just not do it". Big Brother's voice comes through the loudspeakers asking Dan to begin with his nomination. After a pregnant pause Dan refuses to nominate. Big Brother calls him to the Diary room. Dan doesn't change his mind and tells BB he's "prepared to suffer the consequences". After he leaves the diary room the nominations recommence - or in this case not - all the housemates follow Dan's lead and refuse to nominate. BB then reveals that the nominations were not for eviction and they would have earned a special individual reward for the 'most nominated' housemate. Too late! Nobody seems too gutted, in fact Shell is feeling proud "It's quite liberating actually because you realise you can buck the system by sticking to your guns at times!" After a day of worrying about evictions and nominations BB returns the suitcases to the housemates. Yes, there are no evictions tonight! It's that evil Big Brother again, playing mind games with it's subjects. |
| The Gloves Are On! [Day 66 - Sunday 1st August] Dan and Jason are super dozy this morning. They don't respond to 'The Birdie Song', 'Fighting Rotweilers', 'Pneumatic Drilling' or 'Modem Connection Crackle'. It takes a fire-bell to stir these two sloths. Nadia freshens up this morning by taking a shower, wearing high heels! Meanwhile Jason and Stuart are pacing up and down the garden again, driving Dan potty. "Guy's it's like being in a mental hospital...the pair of you...backwards and forwards...backwards and forwards...". Considerate Jason asks "Do you want us to stop?" Dan says 'no'. "I wasn't going to stop anyway!" teases the Scot. Dan prepares today's lunch. Jason remarks that Dan will "make somebody a good husband one day". Dan disagrees "nobody is getting their hands on this cookie". Jason keeps prodding to find out 'why?' and Dan is unusually forthcoming about his inner feelings... "I can trust myself...I never let myself down ...I've only got myself to answer to..." he reveals, "…If you get close to somebody inevitably in some way, nine times out of ten, they will let you down…and nothing's forever anyway…I've decided that this is the way I want to be and it's going to take one hell of a guy to like change my mind." Jason tries injecting a bit of positivity "Well you never know!" "Yea, never say never" concedes Dan. There may be hope for the big man yet! It's around noon and Nadia sits on the decking with Stu and Shell. Shell says she's feeling queasy watching Nadia, who in Stuart's words is doing 'unspeakable things' to a banana. "Oh my God! I'm just biting it" Nadia cackles! "Then use your teeth and not your tongue!" pleads Shell! Nadia reports to the diary room and is clearly happy about how things have developed... "Going back before I entered the house I thought to myself that the first opportunity that people might have to get rid of me they will take it. But I'm pleased that people can put aside your choices of life or your past and things like that." She even has some good things to say about arch-enemy J, "I'm glad Jason is joining in 'in the group' and laughing and joking...he's here for the last week and I think he's trying to take the most out of it..." On the subject of winning she begins by saying she doesn't feel it's important, but then contradicts herself slightly, " 'winning it' would just be a major overall experience of acceptance and I think that's the thing I'm craving for." A little later and Nadia is sitting with Shell and Stu, inside on the sofas where Dan is still busy cooking. Shell tells Nadia "I bet you if Graham Norton invited one person from this house on his show it would be you" "But why … and why?" Nadia asks melodramatically.
"Because you're so camp!" answers Shell. Dan agrees and he likens Nadia to Edina ( from Ab Fab). Nadia laughs hysterically as Dan tells her how funny she is, "Y'know you can sour cream with one glance...I think that's great, I love women like that...in a way a lot of it's an act (Nadia gasps) and people can see through that, but that's the beauty of you." He then mimics Nadia's frenetic approach to the housework "You just haven't got time!" By this time Nadia is laughing so much she bangs her head against the wall! This afternoon Big Brother has a supplied the housemates with materials to create glove puppets of each other. They are given an hour to prepare before giving their performance. At first Jason is bronzing on the lawn and much too relaxed to want to get involved. BB gives him a little persuasion by setting the sprinklers on him. The first four performances are entertaining and genial enough, Stu's puppet was Jason, Dan's was Nadia, Shell handled Stu and Nadia did Shell. Jason's glove puppetry is quite different. His subject is 'Gandalf the Gay'; that's 'Dan' to you and I! "Can you tell the audience why your tongue is so big?" J asks Gandalf the glove, "So I can get it as far up Nadia's backside as possible". Dan laughs at this but Nadia's face drops in horror. The rest of the audience smile uncomfortably for the remainder of the act. Jason, perhaps feeling he may have gone slightly over the top tells Dan that it was all in good humour and wasn't meant as a personal attack. He then goes for a nap in the bedroom. Nadia is concerned that J's puppet was attacking her. Dan reassures her "He was getting at me" On a brighter note their successful completion of the task earns them an ice cream making machine for the night. Big Brother calls a housemate to the diary room. Jason enters and finds a hamper of food and wine on the chair. "I'm hiding this, they're not getting it, because my eardrums will get blown!" Jason removes 2 bottles of wine and hides them strategically beneath some trays in the kitchen. He takes a beer for himself and joins the group. "They gave me two beers!" he pretends. They don't buy his story and it isn't long before they have a good rummage in the kitchen and find the hamper and the wine! A guilty Jason smirks acknowledging defeat!
Dan, Nadia, Shell and Stuart enjoy an evening of ice cream and wine guzzling. Shell impresses the group so much with her impersonation of Davina that they drag her off to the diary room.
The excitable four do their best to persuade Big Brother to lay on a party, but even Shell's raunchy Davina take-off doesn't sway BB…"Big Brother House. This is Davina, you are live on Channel 4. Please do not say f***, bugger or c***." BB asks them about the 5th member of the house. "He doesn't like our company" remarks Shell glumly. Dan explained further "I think for now he's had a personality bypass…I'm sure he'll get it back in the outside world!" |
| Purée Ecstasy [Day 65 - Saturday 31st July] This morning's wake-up call is a remix of Village People's YMCA and even Jason is starting to feel it's "fun to be in the...Big Brother house". Last night he told BB that he was surprised but "chuffed to bits" to still be in the house. Jason seems to think Stuart will walk away with this year's prize, "He deserves it. He's embraced the process and enjoyed it thoroughly". Stuart pays an early morning visit to the diary room. He tells BB "I think this week's just gonna be so strange...I think it's gonna be a bummer not being able to share the experience with her [Michelle]" On the other hand Stuart says he and the other housemates are in awe of having made it to "week 10!" Jason and Stuart do some synchronised walking in the garden. Dan, Shell and Nadia ponder over what evictee Michelle may be up to now. Dan seems confident that by now "she'll have sifted through the offers". Stuart quizzes Jason about why he decided to build-up his physique. The Scot reveals "...it's been a big big part of my life. It's been the only thing that's been keeping me going man." He tells Stu he entered the house because his life has been a big routine for the last 5 years, "...If I come in here, I'm not going to have that", he was interested in finding out "how am I gonna rise to that challenge?" Stuart doesn't seem to be pining too badly for Michelle. He tells Shell "I'm as happy as Larry today!" He certainly does seem to be in a good mood, when Nadia enters the garden dressed up in her blue number and high heels he comments that "'Fabulous' is the word to describe you I think Nadia, at all times." Jason overhears from the kitchen and mutters to himself "'mutton' dressed as f*****g lamb is another word" The housemates get kitted out for the Saturday challenge. It combines elements of previous challenges; an obstacle course which includes a balancing beam over stinging nettles, a tunnel of fish guts, a pool of cow-pat and a roundabout. "Oh sh*t!" cries Jason. Shell corrects him "...no the sh*t's there", pointing to the cow manure. To make it worse the yukkie stuff is attracting lots of wasps! They each take turn to complete the course whilst the rest of the group must keep spinning on the roundabout. After completing the task they gather on the sofa. Jason reads the laminate "Housemates, Big Brother thanks you for paticipating in the obstacle course and hopes that you enjoyed it. Today's challenge will begin shortly." In other words evil BB had put them through all that just for laughs! Ha ha! Even the housemates could see the funny side, they smiled wryly and shook their heads as Jason proceeded with the details of the 'proper task'. Big Brother has assembled a selection of 10 shots of drink on a tray in the diary room. These include 2 shots of salt-water solution, 2 of cod-liver oil and 6 of puréed fish guts. For each shot drunk by a housemate £1000 will be added to the prize fund. Nadia begins by knocking back a salt-water shot and follows up with a cod-liver oil shot which she really has to force down. She rushes straight to the garden to be sick. Shell doesn't manage any shots at all and big Dan only manages one salt-water shot before rushing off to the bathroom. With seven shots remaining things aren't looking too good, but it's super-Stu to the rescue! Stuart downs 3 salt-waters followed by a cod-liver oil chaser. Sounding like the co-hero of an action movie he yells out "J, Can you take these?" Jason doesn't let the side down, he downs the remaining 3 fish purées in style. His only worry is he might have messed his hair up! He gleefully runs from the diary room and embraces co-hero Stuart to celebrate the achievement. The housemates efforts win them the full £10000 upping the prize fund to £63500. |
| Michelle's Eviction Interview [Day 64 - Friday 30th July] Michelle's eviction interview with Davina turns out to be a bit prickly... Davina begins gently enough by focussing on her relationship with Stuart. "Do you love him" she asks intently, "I think so!" is the reply. Michelle denies that forming a relationship was part of her gameplan. She says she fell for Stuart because "he's beautiful on the outside and he's beautiful on the inside". Davina wants to know what happened under the table on day 54. "We know that your immune system is fine and you saw a 'swallow', what we want were wondering is 'did the train go in the tunnel'?" Michelle is prepared "No comment…no comment…no comment….no comment…" Davina tells Michelle that even though she and Stuart removed their microphones "we did hear absolutely everything". Michelle refuses to buckle "I don't want to see anything or hear anything...no way...I'm gonna come off the stage if I do see anything or hear anything". "Come on…" pleads Davina. "No comment, no comment!" Davina tells Michelle she feels her boos were due to the public perception of her being a "bossy Bassy". When she cites Michelle's apparent jealousy of Shell making bread with Stu, Michelle insists "I was joking!" To emphasise the point Michelle is asked to look at a video montage of her bossy bits which ends with that classic quote "No naked jacuzzi-ness!" "Are you a jealous person?" asks Davina. Michelle concedes with a "yes". 'Bunny boiler' press clippings are shown to Michelle "You're going to have to defend yourself big time in the press to back down from that, because it was a joke, that's your play on it?" Michelle seems to have had enough of this topic "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…whatever…innit" is her dismissive reply. Davina keeps chipping away though and asks Michelle how she will cope with Stuart having lots of female fans. Michelle does nothing to dispel her green-eyed image when she replies "He's not going to look twice at his female fans! That is how I will cope with that one!" Davina cringes a little. Michelle confirms that she is interested in a glamour modelling career, but indicates that she will wait to see what Stuart thinks before persuing this. Davina makes more attempts to find out what happened under that table. "Did you have sex with him?" "No comment" says Michelle" Davina warns Michelle that if she's saving the story for the tabloids she will be "really, really upset" "No comment" says the Geordie. "You are, aren't you?" says Davina pointedly. "…Saving it for the bloomin' tabloids?" Michelle replies….well you can probably guess what she says! It's time to show Michelle her best bits, which strangely include Becki's 2-cheeky Judas kiss which put her up for nomination on day 33. Davina explains it from Becki's point of view and Michelle stays considerably more composed than she did on day 33! Michelle breathes a deep sigh of relief once the interview is over, but it isn't quite! "Did you have sex with him?" Davina demands! "No comment!" |
| Much Ado About Nothing [Day 64 - Friday 30th July] In the wee small hours a bout of banging in the garden rouses a curious threesome. Curious Dan and curious Jason arise from their slumber to check out the noise, whilst Nadia is simply curious to find her way to the loo for a nocturnal tinkle! The 'bang out of order' bangers turn out to be a Big Brother's maintenance men putting up a bit of scaffolding. Jason is succinct in his appraisal "Its f*****g madness!" Perhaps their disturbed sleep is why the housemates don't want to be disturbed by this morning's wakey-wakey; so 'evil' BB decides to make this a triple torture morning! "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" (torture 1) provides the houseys with their first eviction clue but they are all too dozy to notice! Revelling in raucous reveille, Big Brother follows up with some barmy bagpipes (torture 2) and a fat foghorn (torture 3). But further tortures are in-store (room) for the unwitting housemates. Big Brother opens the store-room where they find 6 suitcases, 6 hours earlier than normal for an eviction night. There is no explanation, Nadia is frightened there might be an afternoon eviction. Jason (jokingly?) hopes all 6 housemates will be leaving! J certainly wants Dan to leave, preferably on his own accord (as Dan had earlier said he would!). He cheekily suggests that the big man takes a freedom leap over the garden fence. However, Prima-Danna doesn't want to disappoint his fans, "People adore me!" he jokes. Big Brother cranks the tension levels up after lunch. All housemates are called to the sofas as crowd noises are pumped into the house. Is Nadia's hunch correct? No, this is evil BB being devilish, but the housemates don't know that! Feeling like sitting ducks they wait for an age on the sofa before Big Brother calls for someone to go to the diary room. Stuart outpaces Michelle and bounds into the coveted chair. Stuart's spirits soon dampen as BB locks him in and gives him the silent treatment. BB mystifies his pals 'on the outside' by asking them to deliver a duvet and pillow to the store room. When 2 bottles of milk turn up in the store room they desperately try to unravel BB's hidden message. BB is really milking this one! After frustrating Stuart for more than an hour he is allowed to leave the diary room. The housemates are keen to know what happened. Stu tells them everything, "Nothing". The group is none the wiser until 9:25pm, when they hear Davina's voice telling them "This week you are all up for eviction!" As Davina reads their names they can hear the crowd booing. She continues, "...the seventh housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house is…Michelle!" Michelle smiles and is hugged by Nadia, Shell, Jason, Dan and finally her chicken Stu. She tells him "I'm okay chic…I'm gonna see yer in a week and you'd better think of me every day, you'd betta!" It's just after 10pm and Michelle is commanded by superdeep voiced Big Brother to leave the house. She hugs everyone, kisses her chic and heads down the corridor. A concerned Shell reminds her to "Smile!" Michelle giggles nervously. The doors open, Michelle smiles at her jeerers and her cheerers. Davina meets her at the gate. She hugs and whispers in her ear, presumably reminding the Geordie gal that it's all panto really. Michelle poses for the press before Davina drags her away and displays her up on the Big Brother podium. The crowd goes wild and Michelle looks excited and happy as she waves to them. |
