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!
Later on: Someone said, 'Big Brother has set a task'. The task is intended to bring out their creative side. Tom exclaimed, 'For fucks sake'. Each of the housemates has to draw a name at random, and write a poem about that person. It has to be more than 4 lines and, can't contain the persons' name in it either. Later on, the housemates will read the poems aloud and, will have to guess who the person is in the poem. They scribble away frantically for half an hour. The poems are placed back into the 'Bard Bucket'. Each housemate picks a poem then reads it, while the rest do the guessing. For their efforts, BB gives them some wine. Darren suggests that the whole group play Blackjack. Oh no! The rules are explained yet again.
It's 9:00pm and they are sitting down to their evening meal. They are having a laugh about the kids who were shouting earlier in the afternoon. They have a discussion about the Irish issue. Then move on to the subject of people begging in the streets. It becomes quite a heated debate. Darren raises the point, that he wouldn't give money to a beggar who had a can of alcohol in front of him. Anna took offence, and said, 'Who are you to say what a person should spend their money on? That's like me coming up to you when you get your wage packet, and saying, you can only buy 12 cans of lager this week. It might be the case, that you have had a particularly tough week at work, and you want to get wrecked'. The conversation rocks back and forth between them for sometime. Darren then said, 'I don't agree'. Anna just got up and walked away. Mel then said to Darren, 'The majority of people on the streets of London are drug addicts, alcoholics and schizophrenics. They didn't ask to be there'. Nichola said to Darren, 'You wouldn't like it if someone took one look at you, and as you walked down the street, they tried to judge you'. Craig describes a story where he and a friend had to beg for money. Then Anna said, 'The most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me, was when I went for a night out with a friend. We got roaring drunk. Luckily we looked respectible, but I suggested we beg for money for a couple of pints. My friend and I got the money easily, because we looked respectible. Other people down the road, who were scruffy, couldn't get it. We went on to blow the lot on booze. I felt dispicible'.
Craig and Nick are discussing arrangements for a trip to Ireland.
The group talk about ways of making their own music. Anna picks up the guitar and begins playing a sad tune. Nichola said, 'Oh my God, the suicide song. Is everyone depressed?'
Craig is on the uni-cycle.
They begin talking about the 2 minute videos they made about themselves for the show. Anna said, 'I'm not happy with the way I'm being portrayed on the TV, motherly, the singing nun image'. Craig and Nichola express the fact that they didn't like the scripts the production company gave them. Nichola said, 'I changed some of mine'. Craig went on to say, 'I went along with the script but felt that I looked stupid afterwards'. I think Anna went to see BB. When she rejoined the rest of the housemates, she said, 'Don't worry. I'm having one of those nights'. Anna has been a bit touchy this evening. Then said, 'Poxy nomination day'.
Mel, Tom, Nick, Craig and Darren are up. Tom takes Mel into the girls room and gives her a shoulder and back massage. Nichola and Craig are playing about with the uni-cycle. Back in the bedroom with Mel and Tom, there is a lot of muttering going on about Nichola and Andy but, I can't quite make out what they are saying. Tom then said to Mel, 'You've got to do the assault course tomorrow'. Mel said, 'I'm injured. That's my excuse'.
Everyone is still up. Craig is still trying to master the uni-cycle. Anna said to Craig jokingly, 'Is that your way of getting into the girls room? When you get through the door, whoever's bed you fall on, you have them for the night'. Everyone laughs. Darren said to Craig, 'You need stablisers'. Craig said, 'Another wheel would help'.
Anna then said, 'I'm gonna get up tomorrow, nominate 7 people then go back to bed'. Darren wanders off to bed at 12:03. Anna suggests a theme day each week. Nichola said, 'We should make it Thursday, our day off'. Anna said, 'We could wear our clothes inside out and our undies outside'. Craig, Mel, Tom and Nick are playing cards. Nichola is knitting. Anna toddles off to bed.
Nichola is telling the housemates how she has received grants to get a knitting machine and a programming device for the knitting machine.
Nick has spent about half an hour in the Diary Room. He rejoined the others and said, 'It's a safe haven. It would be nice if the boys could come over and tell us how well the shows going. Not to tell us the audience figures or how many hits the website is getting'. Nichola, Mel and Nick are discussing the palm and foot readings they had done at the hotel prior to going in to the house. Mel was moaning about her feet and how she doesn't like them.
Nick and Nichola are talking on the sofas. The conversation gets around to the events of the afternoon, and the kids screaming. Nick is obviously perturbed. Nichola said to Nick, 'How do you know that it was for you?' Nick said, 'It's going to happen at the same time every week. I said to them you are here to make a TV show. You can't show us all sitting round at 4:00 having tea'. Nichola said, 'I wouldn't worry about a few kids shouting abuse. You haven't done anything bad here, only good. You haven't said anything bad about anybody. I suppose, it could be that you haven't been in a situation where you've received abuse. I wouldn't worry about it. I'm more worried about what people saw of me last week. Me flipping my lid twice in here now. They must think I'm a bloody nutter. People might find the reiki interesting and want to know more about it. You haven't done anything negative in here'.
Nichola wandered off to clean her teeth. Mel said to Nick, 'Who do you think will be up for nomination tomorrow?' Nick muttered a few words that couldn't be made out but, I did catch, 'IMS'. Mel asks Nick to wake her up at 9:00 in the morning.
My computer crashed.
Later on, Darren, Craig, Tom and Nick emerge from the boys room. Craig makes everyone a drink. They suddenly talk about the conversation about beggars earlier in the evening. Someone said about Anna, 'She wasn't letting it go was she'. Craig said, 'I'd rather give the money to a blind charity or cancer'. Conversation moves on to last weeks semaphore task. Craig said, 'I know that I didn't complete the task. I wouldn't mind knowing if I wrote it down wrong or whether Caroline signalled it wrong'. Nick said, 'I wrote down loke. Interpreted it as love and changed the K to a V. They move on to talk about the assault course. Nick said, 'If some of the girls can't do it, we can make up for it'.
The sound begins to deteriorate badly but, you can catch the odd word or two. Something about the winner having their own press conference. What C4 will be showing when there are only 3 left in the house. How C4 will have to make the stories more interesting when it gets down to less people, because they will be afraid that people will lose interest and viewing figures will drop.
With that, the sound just went completely. They carried on chatting on the sofas, but you couldn't hear a word. Just hissing. In the end they wandered off to bed.
