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!
Nomination day: Nichola is up and tidying up in the lounge/dining room/kitchen area of the house. Tom is the next one to surface.
Darren was talking about what woke the boys in the middle of the night he said, 'Craig let a lightning fart, and started laughing to himself. He let another and woke everyone up'.
Mel said to Anna, 'I thought I would get up and feel like doing the assault course but I don't'.
Nick rises at 12:00pm.
Nichola is planning to do a few circuits of the assault course today.
Mel then said to Anna, 'People have changed a lot since they first came in here. I'm least at ease now'. Anna said to Mel, 'Are you at ease with people in here?' Mel then said to Anna, 'With some I am and others I'm not'. Mel said, 'People in here, I'm not going to say who, are in here for a particular reason'. Anna then said, 'Do you like it in here?' Mel said, 'Like is a strong word. The first weeks were fun, but people change so much'. Mel said, 'I wanted to do an MA. I like asking people questions. You have to get on with people'. Darren said to Mel, 'I want a piercing'.
Darren and Nick are in the garden practising the monkey bars. Nick said, 'That's all I wanted to do'. Then went back in to the house. Nick said, 'The gloves aren't that good'.
Mel said, 'I've lost my necklace. I heard it drop'.
Anna and Darren are in the garden. Anna said, 'Teach Marjorie the see-saw'.
Craig greets Mel with a kiss in the kitchen, and said, 'I'm going to be nice to you today. Would you like a coffee?' Craig then said to Mel, 'If I were to make it to the last 3, I would like it to be you, me and Nick. We originally thought that Andy would win it'.
Mel said, 'Everything stinks in this house. The kitchen stinks of chicken shit, my feet stink of chicken shit, everything stinks of chicken shit'.
Darren said, 'If you could only listen to one persons' music for the rest of your life, who would you chose?' Anna said, 'The Beatles'. Craig said, 'Rod Stewart'. Darren said, 'Bob Marley'. Mel said, 'Stevie Wonder'. Nick said, 'Abba' and Tom said, 'The Dubliners/The Pogues'.
BB announces, 'Nominations will begin in 5 mins'. It's 2:55pm. The housemates sing 'It's only a gameshow'. At 3:00pm, the picture goes. They all sing the 'Name Song'. BB calls the housemates to the sofas. At 3:05pm, Anna is called to the Diary Room. Followed by Craig at 3:07pm, Darren at 3:09, Mel at 3:10, Nichola at 3:13, Nick at 3:18, finishing on Tom who is called at 3:20pm..
They all break into a discussion about the best 100 adverts on the telly. Mel mentions her lost necklace again. Anna tells her to, 'Stop moaning'.
BB has recommended that they practice the assault course. At 3:30pm, BB calls the housemates in from the garden, a helicopter is hovering around the house. The outside cams are watching the helicopter like a hawk. At 3:40, BB lets them back into the garden. They begin practising the assault course, missing out the monkey bars for now.
I had to come offline to make a phone call.
Mel is having a reiki session with Nick in the boys room. Nick said to Mel, 'Monkey, November, Charlie, Alpha, Sierra. I expect you did Delta, Charlie'. Mel just laughed. After looking at what Nick said, I think this is what he was getting at. [My nominations Craig and Schizo]. Schizo meaning Nichola. Then he went on to say [I expect you did Darren, Craig]. BB then asked Mel to put her mic on. With that the sound feed dropped.
Nichola and Anna are sat in the garden. Nichola said to Anna, 'This place feels so empty. I feel lost without Caroline. I feel my name is going to come up tomorrow. I felt really bad doing nominations, because I was giving pathetic excuses. I'm giving people a reason to nominate me. They will pick a person that upsets the group. I'm going to do some papier mache, make a shooting star. Everyone is so nice in here. I hate going into that bloody box. I changed my mind 5 times in the box. I can't wait to see Caroline again. They took away the spice of the house. She used to make everyone giggle or cry. Everyday was a big drama. You could tune into the drama - there's no drama left'.
Darren said, 'One of the chickens has got the runs. We have to practice changing the safety equipment over for the relay'.
Marjorie escaped from the chicken pen.
Anna posed this question to herself, 'What will you take away with you from your time in the house? An addiction to nicotene'.
Darren is called to the Diary Room. He emerges with a sealed envelope and isn't to open it until everyone is assembled. Had a lot of trouble getting the cameras to connect. I think it was some kind of word game. They had to guess what the meaning of the word. If they got it right, they will get a treat. They win and are awarded 2 bottles of wine. Darren said, 'I think we should give them some TV'. Mel said, 'Like what?' Darren said, 'An orgy'.
It's very quiet in the house. Darren is on the guitar. Nick is giving reiki to Tom. Mel and Anna are sat in the garden having a chat about places they would like to visit. Mel started talking about the multi-national company that she works for. They go on to talk about ideal jobs. Anna said, 'My ideal job would be presenting a music programme with Jools Holland'. Mel said, 'I think but don't know. I'm really good at organising. Some kind of production job in TV and films would be ideal. If I could spend a whole year creating and then producing it. It would be good. If it had to be something fun, T4 presenting'.
Mel puts the chickens away walking towards the pen, she is singing, 'Hennyroonies, henneyroonies, hennyroonies. We don't want Mr. Fox to get you'.
Nichola is in the bedroom sewing her jacket/dress up.
The group get in to a huge discussion about favourite actors/actresses. Who they find sexy. Anna said, 'Kevin Costner has an affect on me'. Someone mentions Woody Allen. Anna said, 'I don't think that anyone would find him attractive. Except for his daughter'. They move on to talk about stand-up comedians. They reel off Richard Blackwood, Billy Connolly, Eddie Izzard, Sean Hughes and Jerry Sadowicz. Dallas and Dynasty are discussed next. The housemates then start talking about childrens programmes. Mel said, 'I couldn't believe it when they scrapped Play School'. Nick breaks in to the theme from 'Rainbow'. Anna said, 'Who remembers Bagpuss'. Someone said, 'The Clangers'. Another said, 'Button Moon'. Then the Teletubbies. Mel said, 'I don't like the baby in the sky. I find it frightening. I also find the telescope things that come out of the ground odd. I bet loads of bunnies die each week. Anna declares, 'My favourites were Chigley, Camberwick Green and Trumpton'. They chat about James Bond's, Eastenders and American cop shows. They even discuss writing a song. What instruments they would like to play. A drum kit, guitar, triangle and keyboards. Anna said, 'Craig could sing'. Tom said, 'A workout video'. Anna said, 'They could give us a song to cover. That would be good'. Anna said, 'One of my favourite movies is Spinal Tap'. She goes on to tell the group about a couple of scenes that she finds really funny. She keeps giggling as she is telling the stories.
