The latest hot gossip that is going on in the Big Brother house.
Who's hot and who's not! Who's in and who's out! What tasks has BB set them! Who's been talking about who!
It's gonna be a long night: The group discuss overweight people and dieting. Eastenders or Coronation Street. Nicky said, 'Corry. But the action is better in Eastenders'. Someone said, 'Craig asked me yseterday if Nick Berry was in it still'. They then discuss likes and dislikes regarding TV programmes, music, etc. Ally McBeal seems to be a firm favourite with the majority of the group.
Nick said to Mel, 'Do you think that this place brings the best or worst out in people?' Mel said, 'Worst'. Nick then said, 'Would that be good points or bad points?' Mel said, 'Bad points - defence mechanisms'. Craig said. 'I'm a very kind person. It's the way my Mum brought me up'.
The conversation moves to eviction day. Darren said, 'It makes my day. I find it exciting'.
Darren, Nick, Mel, Craig and Tom are playing Blackjack again. Caroline, Anna and Nichola are in the bedroom chatting. Tom said to Nick, 'Why is Mel getting frustrated?' Tom said, 'It's to do with the countdown during the card playing'.
It's a very strange night in the household. Lots of unusual questions are asked and topics discussed. I catch the back end of Tom talking about farming matters. The group then go on to chat about whether kids know right from wrong at a young age. Mel and Tom have a heated discussion. Tom takes a dominant stance over Mel regarding moral issues. Mel said, 'That different crimes should have different penalties'. Nick said, '8 year olds are more developed nowadays'. The James Bulger case is raised and the sound goes.
Things move on to first jobs after leaving school. Tom said, 'My first job when I left school was concreting floors. I was earning �160 a week'. Craig said, 'I was working 60 hours a week in a butchers' shop'. Tom reveals that he is jealous of Darren having 3 kids and something to look after. Darren said, 'I was a rebel when I was at school. I would sell stuff at school to make money. Until I almost got kicked out and beaten up by a Dad. Whose kid I had beaten up. Everything I do is based around my kids. I carry an album of 20 pictures of my kids in my wallet. I didn't bring my wallet with me. Brett asked me how I felt about it. I said I'm mad. It would be nice to share then with the group'. Craig said, 'The photos could react against you or for you'. Mel said, 'I was still at school at 16'.
Organ donation is raised next. There are so many view points being thrashed out between everyone that you can barely understand what they are on about. Tom said, 'I can't donate blood anymore. I had a blackout due to alcohol. It was New Years Day. I sat down at 2:00 in the afternoon with my boss and had a fit. I was in hospital for 3 days while they did loads of tests. I was off work for 3 months. At the end of the day, I was given the all clear'.
Nichola and Caroline join the group at 3:00am. Nick doesn't seem too amused.
Nick then asks, 'If you could commit one crime and get away with it. What would it be?' Craig said, 'It would have to be highly beneficial to my life and my family'. Nick said, 'I would sink HMS Belfast. Put 2 mines under it and blow it up'. Nichola said, 'I would nick a yacht and piss off'. Mel said, 'An art gallery'. Tom said, 'I'd do a Swiss bank and nick Nazi funds stolen from the Jewish people'. Craig then said, 'It would be better to take 100 million from someone like the Sultan of Bruni. He wouldn't miss it or Bill Gates. It wouldn't affect them'.
Mel said, 'If you could murder one person, who would it be?' Craig said, 'I'm not answering that one. 'Cos everything I've said before has been recorded. I won't answer it'.
Tom said, 'If you could travel back in time, who would you most like to meet and why?' Caroline said, 'Judy Garland'. Tom said, 'At what stage in her career?' Caroline said, 'Meet me in St. Louis or Jesus Christ. I do believe he was real, and would love to listen to what he said'. Nick said, 'He was a prophet'. Craig said, 'I'd like to meet my Dad'. Tom said, 'At what age?' Craig said, '13 and a half'. Nick said, 'How would you introduce yourself?' Someone said, 'I'm Craig your son'. Darren said, 'I'd like to meet 2 people. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. They didn't teach me about them in school. It's pissed me off. I've had to read pages from books, scripts from films to see what they had to say. I would like to be able to raise my hand, my fist. These are the people that helped me to be where I am today'. Tom said, 'I would like to meet Leonardo DaVinci. He had his eye on things. Far ahead of his time. Almost like a prophet'. Nick said, 'Aeosop. His fables are so relevant today'.
A huge religious debate begins. Nick talked about the structure of the Old and New Testament. Darren said, 'I have nothing against other religions. I respect them. I just don't like others beliefs being forced on to me'. Caroline said, 'The best religion you can have is one you've found yourself'. Tom said, 'Religion was set up for people to fight for their country and their land'. Caroline said, 'People are incited to fight for the wrong reasons'. Caroline brought up the David Icke issue. She said, 'His book scared me. The fact he was ridiculed just like Jesus Christ. He was hung on the cross for it'. The conversation went dead.
Nick was called to the Diary Room at 3:50am.
Peoples beliefs are still discussed.
Mel and Nick are whispering. All I catch is Mel saying to Nick, 'Make sure'.
Nick is talking to Tom and Mel. He said, 'The food situation is fucking awful'. Mel said, 'It'll be worse next week'. They walk into the garden and begin to talk to Charlie (the camera).
Craig goes to bed.
Caroline said, 'If I'm getting chucked out, I'm going in and asking for 10 Embassy and I'll pay them on the way out'. Caroline then asked, 'Why did they do the full security check?' Darren said, 'It's routine. Boys room, girls room and garden'. Nick said, 'To check all the ID of the personnel working here'. Tom said, 'After showing the press around, they spent 50 grand on scanning the place for bugs'.
There were mutterings between Mel and Tom.
Nick said to Caroline, 'Every time I give you reiki, I get called in for a mic check'.
Caroline said, 'On eviction day, the cameras follow you around'.
It's getting towards daylight. A few of the housemates wander into the garden. Darren said of the chickens, 'Put those bitches back in'. Then started crowing like a rooster.
By this time, I've had enough. It's 6:00am. I'm knackered and, can't comprehend anymore of the conversation. I need sleep. I'm off to bed.
