Day 14 to 18

Bogus Nominations Shock!
Day 14 of 18, 11:30
Wednesday 19 January

Big Brother has told the housemates that they must make their nominations in half an hour.

But the housemates have no idea that their nominations will actually count for diddly squatt... and that one of them will be evicted tonight!

The housemates had began to get suspicious when they weren't asked to nominate yesterday as they'd expected. And a canny Kenzie had even began to wonder if Big Brother had a trick up the sleeve.

But Big Brother's announcement will no doubt have thrown him off the scent, and the housemates will now make their bogus nominations shortly.

The public, meanwhile, can continue to vote for the housemate they want to WIN Big Brother. The housemate with least votes will get the surprise of their life tonight...

Tune into C4 at 9pm.

Out Of The Blue
Day 13 of 18, 23:00
Tuesday 18 January

There was a sense of unease in the House tonight as the group turned in for an early night a little bemused by the lack of nominations.

Caprice, Lisa and Kenzie were all tucked in by 10 and began to speculate over Big Brother's silence. Without John's voice booming about the place, the bedroom seemed ominously quiet. "No nominations, no nothing," said a spooked Caprice. "So bizarre."

Lisa agreed she had expected another round of nominations too, but thought it was bound to happen tomorrow. ""Yeah, they're probably going to drop a bomb tomorrow," murmured Caprice.

But then a thought suddenly struck Kenzie. "I swear on BB5 one of them got evicted out of the blue," he blurted out.

The girls gasped as they remembered the surprise eviction and realised they could be chucked out at any moment.

That thought will probably keep them awake for a while.
 

Full House
Day 13 of 18, 19:30
Tuesday 18 January
Eyes are down and stomachs are rumbling with housemates taking part in Chinese Take-Away Bingo this evening.

While housemates were locked in the bedroom, a mobile phone was hidden in the living area and a giant bingo menu board was placed in the room.

Upon release, housemates answer the ringing phone to find out that they are connected to the Big Brother Chinese take away and told that each number on the board corresponds to a different dish.

Hungry housemates can order two items of food by taking a lucky dip and underlining two numbers on their individual bingo cards attached to the board

The group have no idea whether they will find themselves tucking into such delicious delights as king prawns, crispy seaweed or veggie spring rolls. They will only discover what fabulous food they have ordered when their take-away is delivered.

So, it could be a full house for full tummies...
 

The Lone Ranger
Day 13 of 18, 13:15
Tuesday 18 January

Brigitte looked to have the weight of the world on her shoulders as she opted to spend the morning segregated from her housemates in the seclusion of hot tub, sauna and shower.

After waking alone in the double room, Brigitte rose, quietly made herself some breakfast and watched from a distance as Lisa took a yoga class.

Nor did she take part in Caprice's painful and noisy aerobics workout, choosing instead to spend the hour alone elsewhere in the House.

Looking downbeat she wandered lonely as a cloud through the host of yellow Big Brother chairs until she reached the hot tub and sank in. And while Caprice continued to yell and pant, Brigitte sucked slowly on one of recent evictee John's cigars, staring glumly at the sky.

From sauna to shower, she remained a silent lone ranger, scrubbing herself and the bathroom mirrors clean.

Only her hungry belly broke her silence as she returned to the kitchen to discuss the menu of the day.

What's up Brigitte?

Morning Has Broken
Day 13 of 18, 11:30
Tuesday 18 January

A deep discussion on tea bags and daily domesticity was the order of the day for the lethargic housemates as they began an otherwise uneventful morning in the House.

Badly played violins shook the housemates from their sleep at around 10am, but it was approaching midday before any of them could rustle up the enthusiasm for anything but talking trivia.

"This is going to be the best day ever," yawned Lisa unconvincingly.

"Yeah," replied Caprice as she plucked away at her virtually non-existent eyebrows.

Kenzie could only complain that his daily routine has been ruined by the fact that the hot tub is out of action, before going on to draw up a daily schedule comprising of a game of caps (whereby the housemates attempt to throw bottle tops into a beaker) and a spot of lunch followed by another game of caps

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Jeremy was talking tea bags.

"I prefer tea bags to [loose] tea," he announced with conviction, as he made a morning brew.

"I spent my life drinking tea bags and I don't think [loose] tea has a superior taste."

Brigitte said nothing as she scraped some jam onto a round of toast.

Any hopes that last night's eviction victor, Bez, would instil some life into the crew were dashed when he announced his intentions for the day.

"I'm going to wash some sheets," he mumbled.

With the morning disappearing fast, Jeremy, clearly exhausted from his tea bag discussion, lay horizontally on the lounge floor and stared at the ceiling.

Domestic bliss.

Unhappy Hippy Failure
Day 12 of 18, 20:30
Monday 17 January

Housemates failed their Rejuvenation Retreat task, they learned today, racking up a staggering 30 fails in 2 days.

Bez's refusal to join in cost them a couple of fails, but on day 1 of the task they had 10 fails for not wearing their attire at all times.

They also had one fail for not getting up within a minute of the gong sounding.

"It wasn't me!" bellowed John, though no one had suggested it was

It wasn't me!" bellowed John, though no one had suggested it was.

That led to a total of 12 fails on day 1. On day 2 of the task they had 7 fails in getting up on time. "Not me," said John, suddenly the angel of the task.

In total they managed 18 fails on day 2, surely some kind of record.

They didn't seem too upset by it and were certainly relieved to get out of their hippy togs.

Jeremy was philosophical about it. "We would have failed anyway," he said. "Because of Bez."

And if you're going to fail, you might as well do it spectacularly.

Dolls' House
Day 12 of 18, 15:40
Monday 17 January

The housemates have been provided with equipment to make dolls, through which they must express their innermost thoughts.

Plain rag dolls, balls of wool, material and fabric pens will help the housemates as they make miniature versions of themselves within 45 minutes as the latest journey in their Rejuvenation Retreat task.

Each housemate will be called to the Diary Room with their doll, where they must express their inner selves by speaking through their doll.

Big Brother has advised each housemate to take some time alone with their doll before they do this.

Trick Or Treat?
Day 12 of 18, 14:20
Monday 17 January

Laughing Junior has had the smile wiped off his face by a char-grilled Brussels sprout.

The vegetable offering came on the second day of the housemates' spiritual task, and didn't go down well with Kenzie, who, for the purposes of the Big Brother Rejuvenation Retreat, is now known as Laughing Junior.

"What's going on?" Kenzie wondered when he was called to the Diary Room and found a silver tray laden with a handful of small green vegetables.

"Big Brother has generously supplied a wholesome treat," he was told. "You may enjoy your treat."

With a grimace, Laughing Junior bit into the unwanted snack, and immediately complained that it wasn't hot enough.

"How did you find your wholesome treat?" asked Big Brother, to which Laughing Junior admitted that he wished he'd never been offered it.

Nevertheless, he obliged when asked if he'd like another. Although finding the second difficult to swallow, he did confess that he wasn't enjoying himself much.

"With all due respect," he gagged, "I'm not the biggest Brussels sprout fan in the world."

Spiritual words of enlightenment that followed prompted Laughing Junior to live up to his name.

"You cannot put an ocean in your pocket," announced Big Brother.

"Well that's kinda common sense," chuckled Kenzie.

 Salutations!
Day 12 of 18, 08:00
Monday 17 January

The housemates were rudely awakened by the Retreat gong again this morning to news of the next stop on their spiritual journey.

They were to perform a sun salutation at dawn, comprising of five different steps.

Everyone but Bez - who remained firmly in bed - examined the screen as a yogic guru showed them how it was done.

"That seems all right," commented Mars (John) as the white witch on the screen crouched into the end position.

With only an hour to perfect the dance, they jumped to their feet to give it a go.

Even John seemed to rather enjoy flinging his arms about, though Sun God (Jeremy) seemed a little reluctant and wandered off to make tea.

Not surprisingly, Happy Wu (Lisa) took charge of talking them through the movements and jollying them along for practice sessions.

"Nice one everyone, that's really good," she said after the final run through.

She should be an aerobics instructor...

The salutation was duly performed with great elegance, leaving the druid-wannabes confident they'd passed.

Now, once more with feeling!

Happy Monday?
Day 12 of 18, 09:00
Monday 17 January

An early morning chat between Jeremy and Kenzie saw the firm friends predict that John will prevail in tonight's eviction, but that Bez won't mind a bit.

After being woken at dawn for a sun dance routine, the pair stayed awake to chat about Bez's angry reaction to the news that he'd been nominated yesterday.

Jeremy confidently forecast that Bez would take the walk of shame later today.

"I think he's finding it hard being in this position," he said.

Kenzie nodded in agreement: "I thought he wanted to go home."

The pair also agreed that Bez has no reason to feel bad about the way he behaved yesterday over the result of the nominations. "He came and apologised and it's all forgotten but he [still thinks it's not okay] and the way he looks at everyone is a bit shy".

Jeremy seemed keen to keep in touch with Bez post Big Brother. "I would like to go to one of his gigs," he said. "If he was in London we could go for a beer."

Meanwhile, the man in question was wide awake in bed, staring into space like a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders...

Who Nominated Who?
Day 11 of 18, 14:20
Sunday 16 January

Bez and John have learned that they face eviction, but why were they nominated, and by who? And which other names came up in the Diary Room while the housemates nominated?

Here's the lowdown...

Bez nominated Brigitte, stating that he could see "potential trouble down the road" on account of her dwindling cigarette supplies. "I can't stand grumpy smokers, " he went on. He also voted for Kenzie. "He's the youngest one, the cutest one, he's got pure style. I see him as a definite winner and I want to eliminate him. I really like him, but he's too cool for his own good."

Brigitte voted for John for his insulting "way of speaking about women", and Bez for being "a difficult human being".

Caprice also nominated Bez, reckoning "he's ready to go". She also voted for John, not surprising after what she's heard him say about her on a video tape concealed in the secret room. "When I saw that tape, I had to bring it up with him, that upset me...what really wound me up was that he snuck around like a little coward behind my back."

Jeremy nominated Bez, insisting that he's seen a change in his behaviour recently. "He's getting stressed, moaning about food...he was always one of the positive people...I don't like it. It just brings you down." He also voted for Brigitte, citing an identical reason to the one Bez gave. "Hell hath no fury like a smoker with no fags!"

"One word sums up Brigitte - childlike," commented John when voting for the woman in question. He also explained that he's tired of her "harping on about her 26-year-old lover in Italy". He then voted for Jeremy, "My problem with him is his blandness...he lacks any depth at all, there's nothing inside the man. He's scheming to win. He's calculating, he's mapped out his progress."

Kenzie nominated John on account of his "three-day silent treatment". His second nomination was for Bez. He hadn't liked the way he'd stuck up for Jackie, he explained.

Lisa voted for John for not being a team player: "He's still on the periphery. He really annoyed me with the sulking-over-the-cola incident. I've had enough of him in his Y-fronts...I've had enough of the vision." Lisa went on to vote for Bez, explaining, "I have more meaningful and entertaining exchanges with other housemates."

Remember you are voting to save the housemate you want to remain in the House. The housemate with the least votes when the lines close will be evicted.

The Masseuse Wid Da Juice
Day 18 of 18, 15:30
Sunday 23 January

Kenzie gave Brigitte a massage as part of today's task and then revealed it was all part of a plan to conquer the world of women.

"I'm gonna take off my bra," Brigitte warned Kenzie. Though he must be used to it by now.

"I think this should do me a few favours with the female fan base. That's why I'm doing it," explained Kenz. "Is it alright?"

"It's so nice I might fall asleep," said a deeply content Brigitte.

Playing up to the cameras, Kenzie said, "See this, women of the world. Get me."

With Bez joining them in the Living Area, Kenzie had a brainstorm, and helpfully shared his pearls of wisdom with the others.

"Tell you what, if you meet a girl and tell her you're a masseuse, it's all over...". he's obviously tried this before.

Even though Bez wasn't prepared to knead and rub Kenzie, Brigitte still gave him a massage.

"Tell me if it's too hard," she said.

"No, I like it hard," said Bez. To Brigitte. Not Kenzie. No sir.

Whatever his normal preferences both Bez and Kenzie seemed happy with their new blonde, busty, Scandinavian masseuse.
 

Touchy Feely
Day 18 of 18, 13:30
Sunday 23 January

Housemates have been set a massage task for their final day. But Kenzie and Bez are freaking out that they might have to touch each other.

First they were told they would need to be in swimwear or underwear. Then they were provided with two sets of cards, along with towels, oils and a massage couch.

One set of cards contained different body parts, and the other, names of the housemates.

Selecting the cards determined who had to massage who, and where.

"I can't do that," said Kenz. "Me and him can't massage each other."

Bez was in full agreement. "I'll massage Brigitte but no offence, not you," said Bez.

"There's a lot of stuff I'll do but..." But he won't do that apparently.

Then Brigitte pulled 'Full Body Massage' out of the pack and Kenzie's attitude changed. "Pick me!" he said.

He still had his reservations though. "I can't have people touching my feet," he insisted. But luckily it was the rest of his body that Brigitte was going to rub.

Bez picked 'Heads, hands and feet' and after first picking himself to massage, he got Kenzie.

And Kenzie picked out Brigitte for a shoulder massage, which didn't appear to be a problem.

It took no time for Kenzie to stretch out on the couch and choose some oils, after earlier complaining he wasn't into massages. They both seemed to be enjoying it.

Kenzie said he and Bez had an agreement "not to touch each other". So unless they got a little more intimate, they will fail the task. "I'm not homophobic at all. But I'm not massaging a man," he said firmly.

Kenzie's not giving up though. He's happy having Brigitte running her hands all over him.

What a trooper!
 

Party Panic
Day 17 of 18, 22:22
Saturday 22 January

Fears of another shock eviction weighed heavily on the housemates' shoulders during their chav and kebab party.

The remaining trio were already fretful that Big Brother was going to pull another stunt like last night - evicting two housemates in one night as opposed to the expected one.

But when Big Brother ordered the shell-suited housemates to close the patio doors, they went onto red alert, convinced that Davina was nearby.

Kebabs were abandoned, lager was temporarily discarded, and the chavtastic atmosphere looked to have taken a turn for the worse.

Shedding his tracksuit, Bez hastily threw on his planned eviction outfit - a pair of tartan trousers - while Brigitte dashed to the loo announcing that she was "gonna have a quick p***".

When their fears failed to materialise the panic eventually died away. And as Big Brother began to play music into the House the trio forgot about their woes and got down with the groove.

House Music
Day 17 of 18, 16:00
Saturday 22 January

Bez, Brigitte and Kenzie have been set a song task in their penultimate day in the House.

The housemates must compose and perform a song based on their experiences in the Big Brother House.

"It's a really good task. It will be double, double fun," said Bez.

The song must contain three verses, last at least a minute and each housemate must perform a verse each. All three housemates must work together to compose the song, plus play an instrument during the performance.

They chose their instrument from: the French horn, guitar, recorder, maracas, triangle, shaker, mini xylophone, finger cymbals, bongo drums and tambourine.

"Can you play the guitar?" Brigitte asked Bez.

"Can I f***, man," said Bez.

Brig chose maracas, Kenzie, the triangle Bez the finger cymbals. So no musical talent in the House then.

 

Happy House
Day 17 of 18, 14:10
Saturday 22 January

Harmony has broken out in the House now it's down to three housemates. Bez, Brig and Kenz have been enjoying each other's company and being nice to each other. Eww.

"It's really nice, us three in here," said Brigitte, who's been in a great mood ever since she got up.

"It's sad and good at the same time," said Bez, agreeing and disagreeing at the same time.

Brigitte's mood has been helped by the arrival of cigarettes after both Bez and Kenzie encouraged her to add them to the shopping list. Actually, more like pleaded with her to get them in.

And when she mourned the loss of her make up brush Kenzie told her, "Go out and be you. Natural beauty." Which can't have harmed her self-esteem.

But Bez and Kenzie did say they missed Caprice when talking about working out.

"She was a good coach," said Bez . "Nice to look at."

"Yeah, too much," agreed Kenzie. "Way too much for a 19-year-old." Bless his blinging socks.

But Brigitte wasn't missing anyone. "I hope it doesn't offend anyone, but ending up like this - it's so cool, it's the three of us." Sweet, innit.

"Bez, you have really improved," she told the crazy dancer.

"Glad you think so," laughed Bez.

Big Brother - feeling the good vibes - fired up the Jacuzzi, and the three piled in for some bubble therapy.

It's like a big love-in.
 

The Time Of Their Lives
Day 17 of 18, 11:10
Saturday 22 January

The three remaining housemates were woken up by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes this morning. No, not two new housemates, but the sound of the Dirty Dancing classic power cheese track, '(I've Had) The Time Of My Life'.

Brigitte, who had been up earlier, but had returned to bed, recognised the song's opening bars and was joining in by the time big Bill reached "... had the time of my life".

"I used to dance with Sylvester to this song," said Brigitte, with delight. She hopped out of bed and was full-on dancing in her jim-jams straight away.

Fair play to Kenzie. With a proper just-woke-up face on, he scrambled out of bed and was dancing before the first verse kicked in.

Crazy Dancer Bez looked dead in bed and wasn't going to show us his moves at this time of day.

But Brig and Kenz were doing some crazy dancing of their own, Kenzie's street cred taking another whopping nosedive.

The sight of a teenage heartthrob and a screen goddess groovin' together was surreal. And loads of fun.

It looked like some mad wedding scene where the bridesmaid is left chasing the pageboy. But the pageboy is in his shorts and the bridesmaid is a bazooka-bosomed Scandi lady in pyjamas.

If it was a chat up line, it wasn't the best, but Brig asked Kenzie, "Were you born when this was released?" He was, but he would have been crawling not walking.

Bez managed a "Yeah, man," from his prone position, but the stars of the show were Brigitte and Kenzie, having the time of their lives.

Could there be a schmaltzy Hollywood ending? Could 'Baby' fall for his dance teacher?

Oh, behave.
 

Stick 'Em Up
Day 16 of 18, 18:20
Friday 21 January

The celebs were rolling in money this afternoon as they attempted to cover themselves with fake £5 notes representing £10,000 of the Big Brother prize fund.

Housemates slithered about in a vat of sticky goo before plunging into a money pit and plastering as much cash as possible onto their bodies.

With Brigitte deciding to skip the task due to a lack of swimwear, Jeremy and Kenzie were first to take part in the sticky business. Once they'd recovered from the shock of diving into the chilly gunge, they happily splashed away in it.

Next Bez and a bikini-clad Caprice stepped up. As soon as Caprice dipped her toe into the gungy glue she started screeching. She continued to wail as she slathered herself in the sticky stuff.

But there wasn't a peep out of Bez as he silently worked away completely covering himself. Even when Caprice tipped a handful of the glue down his back he didn't make a sound, although his back did go into a strange spasm for a minute.

The pair then waddled carefully across the lawn to deposit as much cash as possible into their individual boxes.

Bez was determined to hang onto as many notes as possible. The rules stated housemates could not use their hands to pick up any money, so Bez decided to clamp as much as possible under his arms.

Hunched over he slowly edged across to his box, unfortunately obstructing Caprice along the way. "Get your ass outta my face," she yelled.

Big Brother is now counting the cash and the housemate with the most money will be called into the diary room.

The lucky celeb will then be asked a multiple-choice question. A correct answer and they will walk away with £10,000. But an incorrect answer and the jackpot will be divided between the others.

Someone could come to a sticky end...
 

Shocked And Stunned
Day 16 of 18, 23:06
Friday 21 January

The housemates have been well and truly stunned by tonight's double eviction.

The group had been expecting one eviction, and so, after Caprice's exit they began speculating about the finale. Little did they know Big Brother would be asking another housemate to say their goodbyes.

When Davina's voice blared out asking Jeremy to pack his bags, the group were flabbergasted.

On top of the extra exit, it seemed many had seen Jeremy as a strong contender to win. Jeremy himself had said that he would be happy to leave, but he nevertheless had a sense he was staying.

Kenzie looked particularly shocked. He and Jeremy had become something of a double act in the House.

"They should've told us, man," he grumbled shaking his head. "The last two people I thought would go tonight were Jeremy and Caprice," he added.

Bez pointed out to Kenzie that both evictees had received a warm reception from the crowd, especially Jeremy.

"It was a f***in' huge roar, man," he burbled still pacing restlessly.

Brigitte retreated to what has become her favourite place - the kitchen, and soon set about preparing some food.

The other two didn't seem quite so relaxed. Trying to calm a fidgety Bez, she warned, "Stop marching!"

Her mind soon turned to yet another day in the House and her lack of cigarettes was top of the agenda. Next up was her lack of makeup.

Brigitte had to borrow Caprice's war paint tonight as Big Brother confiscated her cosmetics in a previous task. She's now resigned to the fact that she will have to rely on her natural beauty for her eviction. Bez was mortified for her.

"That's a woman's best friend, innit?" he said sympathetically.

Who knew Bez was so in touch with his feminine side?

Jeremy Is Evicted
Day 16 of 18, 22:30
Friday 21 January

Jeremy is the fifth housemate to be kicked out of the Big Brother House.

Housemates were shocked by the second eviction in one night and seemed particularly surprised that Jeremy had been given the boot.

"Oh my God!" shrieked Brigitte, while Kenzie and Bez shook their heads.

Jeremy smiled and prepared to leave giggling, "I'm sorry for grinning but, my God am I happy to be out."

Jeremy had been saying all evening that he was itching to leave, but had a feeling he would be staying.

As he exited, Brigitte yelled, "You go knock 'em out!"

Come back soon to find out what he has to say to Davina

Let's hope the day improves for the poor lad.

Egg On Your Face
Day 16 of 18, 09:50
Friday 21 January

Housemates had the rudest of awakenings this morning when Big Brother threw breakfast into the bargain. Literally.

Big Brother welcomed the housemates to a new day at 9.15am by announcing they would receive breakfast in bed. And there was a moment of happy anticipation, the sense that Big Brother was really going to give them a treat for all their charming efforts to entertain us.

Wrong.

Suddenly, out of specially designed compartments in the ceiling, poured breakfast. Eggs, sausage, beans and porridge were dumped on the housemates' heads from above, prompting Kenzie to yell, "You w*****s", instead of "Thank you".

Kenzie jumped out from his bed as the full English storm rained down, kicking out and swearing. "They got me too," said Caprice, clearly disgusted.

Bez had been on the bottom bunk and had escaped the deluge, but still said, "That's really nasty, that!" before rolling over and trying to catch a bit more shut-eye.

Jeremy ducked under the covers and managed to escape the downpour. And though Brigitte managed to avoid the mess, having already got up, her teddy bear and bed weren't so lucky. She was not amused.

Housemates had been asked to order their favourite breakfast the day before, but were hoping it might be served on plates rather than dropped on their heads.

Suspicious Minds
Day 15 of 18, 22:00
Thursday 20 January

The housemates are determined that this time they will be ready for any surprise evictions. They're dressed, they've powdered their noses and their ears are tracking any unusual noises outside. Shame there isn't an eviction.

With Jeremy on sentry duty outside, the rest gathered inside speculating on when Big Brother will try to fool them next. They decided to stay on red alert until 10, as this was when the other evictions had taken place.

Caprice wandered out into the garden to check out a suspect noise despite a laid-back Kenzie wailing, "It's an aeroplane, I promise you!" Funnily enough he was right.

Kenzie didn't look like he was in the mood to be going anywhere anyway. Lolling about in his chair swigging wine he giggled, "If they let me out I'm going to be pissed!"

"They could be bluffing," reasoned Brigitte. But just to be sure she suggested Bez put his wall-scaling skills to use and take a peep.

"Check it out and be like a periscope," she proposed.

"Yeah, I'll be a meerkat," grinned Bez.

Meanwhile Caprice roamed about twitching with every new noise muttering, "Something's going on, man."

Bez soon joined her and decided to test the waters by shouting "Oggy, oggy, oggy!" Although there was no response Caprice was convinced she heard a reply. Smiling at the camera she waggled her finger and said, "We know!"

Feeling a little paranoid?

Picture Perfect
Day 15 of 18, 13:00
Thursday 20 January

Kenzie relished his paparazzi task, telling Big Brother, "I'm a little perv", when given his instructions and digi camera.

He wasn't too discrete though, looking like he was up to something as he skulked suspiciously around the House, muttering, "F***, f***, f***."

His first capture was Jeremy, who he snapped in the bedroom. He tried covering his tracks by saying he might change his clothes, then announced that he'd decided not to. Strange boy.

Jeremy and Caprice were immediately on to the fact he was doing an individual task, without guessing its precise nature.

Although he only needs one picture of each Housemate, he then took two more of Jeremy in the Jacuzzi. Curious.

He casually stalked his prey with his hand in his dressing gown pocket, chatting away. Jeremy thought he was just restless. When he looked away, out came Kenzie's pocket sized pal.

"What are you looking for?" Brigitte asked him about his odd behaviour. But he bluffed it out and was able to snap Caprice in the kitchen. Pleased with himself he said, "I'm well hyper at the moment."

Back at the Jacuzzi he took a picture of Bez and Caprice without being noticed, and snapped Brigitte in the bedroom, completing his task with plenty of time to spare.

If the rapper ever loses his flow, maybe a another line of work beckons...
 

Slacker Rapper Snapper
Day 15 of 18, 15:25
Thursday 20 January

Kenzie failed his paparazzi task after all the photos he took - apart from the one of himself - turned out to be duds.

Kenzie was called to the Diary Room to pick up an announcement telling the others about his individual task. After he revealed what he'd been up to Big Brother put his photos on the plasma screen.

The housemates' excitement turned to confusion as each snap turned out be a hazy blur. Some looked like they'd been taken in his pocket. None featured paparazzi shots of the housemates.

"F***!" yelled a disappointed Kenzie

Then finally the Big Brother logo came up, announcing the end of the film. "I didn't do that," said the failed photographer

The only picture that was close to being in focus was Kenzie's self-portrait.

"Stick to rapping," suggested Bez.

But Kenzie was angry with himself. "I'm p***ed off at that, man. That's b******s."

Caprice tried to reassure him that it didn't matter, but he wouldn't be consoled.

"They wanted paparazzi-style photos. How am I going to do paparazzi-style in the Big Brother House?" he asked Jeremy.

Instead he tried 'I've-never-seen-a-camera-before-style'.

Close, but no reward.

Pants Make Prizes
Day 14 of 18, 21:00
Wednesday 19 January

The mystery of Jeremy's missing suitcase has been solved. And it's all thanks to the housemates' latest game - pass the parcel.

After scoffing their party tea laid on by Big Brother the gang were invited to play a round of the children's favourite game.

After initial disappointment that there wasn't a gift each time a layer was removed, housemates soon became frustrated and resorted to the old and trusted tactics of holding onto the parcel as long as possible before handing it on.

"It's like us," said Lisa Bo Beep, "Lots of layers."

"And nothing inside," came the quick reply from Caprice dressed as a pig.

Still the music went on and the parcel went round until Caprice grabbed it and wouldn't let go. The music stopped.

"I cheated," she said as she unwrapped another layer to find yet more paper.

"There would have been an outcry if that had been the prize," said Jeremy, clearly taking the game as seriously as he takes his Carpet Ball.

He was to have the last laugh though when, after some quickfire unwrapping, the package fell to Jeremy and he peeled away the paper to discover... his lucky underpants!

"Very funny, I'm ecstatic," he exclaimed as the rest of the housemates creased up.

But will Jeremy's lucky pants save him from Big Brother's surprise eviction?

Humpty In The Dumps
Day 14 of 18, 20:20

Kenzie's feels he's come out of the Toyland task with egg on his face. Apparently, he's less than egg-static about his Humpty Dumpty costume.

Kenzie fears it might put a few cracks in his street cred. Confiding in Jeremy, he muttered, "I can't go on stage and dance around now. I'm an egg," he fumed. "Not even an egg. A f***ing big egg."

He's none too pleased with the way the group have been handling his delicate state either. Earlier, six foot blind mouse Brigitte and Bo Peep Lisa took great delight in clobbering his shell with their canes.

Getting a right beating he screamed, "Don't pick on the egg!"

Kenzie felt Lisa's complaints about her own costume were eggs-aggerated. "She thinks she got the worst one? She's saying that while I'm in the room?" he ranted to a concerned Bez.

Let's hope Kenzie doesn't get too heated in there, he might come out hard-boiled.
