Odd things might be afoot for Tuesday as BBLB (where they usually announce who's up for eviction) is one full hour long instead of half an hour. That and having four people in Heaven not an even split has made me think there's going to be a twist involving either Hell or Heaven being up for eviction, and now with this I wonder if there's going to be some sort of live task to decide before the voting lines are opened. Some DS people are thinking it will be an instant eviction but if that was the case I'd have thought there would be a live show with Davina not just BBLB.

Of course it could just be nothing ;).

I have serious CRS syndrome, but I thought the Sunday show is always an hour. I thing Rebecca has spoken to some advisors and can get the best deals for both of them if they are "really" in love. She was very reluctant to commit even with Davina prodding her. Now, after listening to advice, it is true passion. Or perhaps I am just cynical.

Saturday and Sunday's BBLBs are always an hour, but Tuesday's is usually just half an hour, whereas this week it's a whole hour.

I just read today's updates and at least the Heavenly Housemates are going to nominate, so my guess was clearly wrong. Just the four heavenlies have been allowed to discuss nominations, and the consensus seems to be between Dale, Luke and Darnell. Both Rex and Mo want Dale and Luke whereas Stu says he can't nominate Dale unless Dale tells him he can (which of course Dale isn't allowed to do). But it doesn't sound like they have to keep to what they've decided, so it probably doesn't meant that much.

Maybe they'll have to decide live during Tuesday's show?

I must be cynical too, because I think Rebecca's just saying what she thinks people want to hear. When she said to Davina that she'd want Mikey to win if Luke didn't, that seemed like it to.

Does anyone get why Rex is so upset about Rachel's audition video. I watched it and she seems to be the same as she is in the house, but with a little more energy. I think it's easy to pump up the energy for a few minutes in a video. He keeps saying she's a whole different person. He claims that she was sexy in the video. I didn't get that. He also claims that Maysoon was very out there in a sexual way in hers. I missed that too. Could it just be that he has been without a woman for so long that he is seeing come ons where there are none?

I just don't understand why it bothers him so much and I wish Rachel would ask him why.

I thought the same, they aren't that different, just "more so" in the videos. I think Rex is still influenced by what Rebecca said about Rachel in the audition and wants to believe she's someone else. I also wonder if the VTs we saw at the start are different from what they saw, or did they show it again on the highlights? They could have cut together different parts of the video so they saw bits we didn't see.

I think it was a bit unfair to do this. Some people could have revealed a plan and showing the clips could have disadvantaged them. This has certainly disadvantaged Rachel and she could easily be up for eviction.

I wish I'd known about the nominations "pod" yesterday, I would have tried to watch more of the feed. I think it's a good idea, a limited amount of nominations strategizing is interesting, but its good that its not 24/7 like US BB.

On today's BBLB, NO Zezi! I hope they've finally dumped her. She seems a bit, well, incompetent and annoying to me.

..did a bit of googling and found that due to the massive number of complaints about her, and the fact that she "overslept" and blew off a show a couple weeks ago, she has been removed from the BBLB shows except for the Sunday show.

Rex seemed to control the strategising and I think he did pretty well, if for odd reasons. I think at least he, Mo and Mikey voted for Luke and Dale today, which means they should probably both be up. I'm a little worried after the Rachel stuff though that some might have changed to her.

Yep, Zezi's been demoted to talking to friend and families, so she won't be in the studio regularly. I'm not sure George is that much better, he seems to talk over people.

I'm watching yesterday's highlights with them eating the chillies, and some are so funny. Mo is particularly entertaining:

about seven minutes in. I'm not sure I'd even try the mildest one.

Why did they go after Luke? There are quite a few others I'd rather see go before Luke. At least he isn't boring.

It sounded like their reasoning was that they should go for the popular (with the public) people. They thought Dale and Luke would be popular and if they were both up then a strong contender would have to go home.

I'm not sure why they haven't noticed that all of Dale and Luke's friends have been sent home every time they've been on the block!

I'd be torn between Luke and Dale. Luke can be very vindictive at times and he's just so narrow minded. On the other hand apart from Dale being totally gorgeous I can't see that he has any redeeming features. I think I'd like Dale to go.

My guess for the nominations this week (if they do it the normal way) is Dale, Luke and Rachel. If DS is anything to go by Rachel has garnered some support this weekend after Rex going onto her so much about her VT, so I hope that will save her.

Rex was a bit brutal to Rachel about the vt, though he does have a point. In the house she is NOTHING like she was in the vt.

As for which way she really is, who knows? She could be putting on an act. She was an actress. I don't think she's mentioned that to anyone in the house either.

She may have been exaggerating herself in the video, but I see the same person in the house, just less of it. Rex has some sort of a problem with Rachel. This morning he called her spoiled and weird. He just can't seem to let go. I think he has never in his life met a nice person and he doesn't get it. Rex has an unusual background himself and lives in a whole different world from Rachel.

With her friend's she's been pretty close to the person in the VT, but she's been very suppressed overall because of there are so many people who speak over her.

I saw a thread at DS saying Rex's father kept secrets from his family, and speculating Rex has a problem with secrets. I also think he cares a lot for Kat and fears she is being taken in. I think he's losing all his fans. I know he's always a bit mean, but this goes beyond that, at least for me.

We should know about the noms soon - apparently lots of people have spoken about nominations, including Stuart, who's been stripped of his HoH, and they may punish those people by having them up for eviction. It sounds like it could be at least half the house.

BBLB ended and they didn't announce who's up for eviction!

Apparently Dale and Luke received the most votes in the normal nomination process. There's a lot of fuss on DS about those two NOT being up for eviction, because they're not on the list BB announced when they said who had broken the rules. Maybe that's why it's taken so long to decide, BB want to replace the nominees and the powers that be don't know how well that will go down (and it won't go down well!).

It's confirmed- Darnell, Rex, Mohamed, Rachel and Stuart have been given penalty nominations, and Dale and Luke are up through the normal process. So seven will be up.

Well at least Dale and Luke are still up. I think one of Dale or Luke would still be likely to go home....?? What do you think?

Also, this is from http://www.bigbrotheronline.co.uk/bigbrother9/latest/wk8/22.htm

Rex's Girlfriend Set To Enter BB House

The latest shopping budget task has a Cops and Robbers theme, where the four Heavenly housemates will become the rozzers and the Hellish lot the baddies.

There are four parts to the task, which are:

Safe Cracking
Stakeout
Counterfeiting
Identity Parade

It's the last one that will feature Rex's girlfriend Nicole, who will stand in line along with four actors and Mohamed's younger Brother, and the Housemates from Hell must identify the two relatives.

Oh dear. Rex has been pining for his partner for ages now, saying that he wants to leave the House to be with her, and tonight she'll be within spitting distance... it's just a shame that he won't know about it. Real shame!

You missed some. It's everybody except Michael up for nomination. I don't recall if I heard Sarah or Lisa, but I definitely heard Maysoon and Kat.Dale and Luke lucked out.

If anyone's interested the original vote went like this:

Mo: Dale and Luke
Rex: Dale and Luke
Darnell: Dale and Luke

Lisa: Rex and Dale
Maysoon: Dale and Rex
Michael: Dale and Rex

Kat: Luke and Lisa
Rachel: Luke and Lisa

Stuart: Darnell and Maysoon
Dale: Mo and Darnell
Luke: Kat and Rachel
Sara: Mo and Rachel

Which gives:
Dale: 6 noms
Luke: 5

Rex: 3
Darnell, Lisa, Mo, Rachel: 2
Kat, Maysoon: 1
Mikey, Sara (and Stuart): 0

Finally it's up on Ch4:

Nominations Announced

Day 55 - Tue 29 Jul 2008, 19:10 PM

Nominations are announced and it's a shocker...

Rules?

They're meant to be broken aren't they?

Not around here they're not. Big Brother takes rule breaking very, very seriously - especially when it's done sneakily, like talking in code. Punishment will always follow. Punishment will always be severe...

So, after the usual round of nominations, Big Brother announced that Dale and Luke would face the public vote.

But...

...because some of the other housemates tried to discuss nominations using a specially-invented code, they will also face the public vote.

They are Darnell, Kathreya, Maysoon, Mohamed, Rachael, Rex and Stuart. So that's nine housemates up in total-what a shock!

If you thought choosing between Dale and Luke would be tough, how are you feeling now?

Considering that the whisper club discussed nominations in coded terms every week, this is just an attempt to save BB's favorite. I remember them talking about cookie monster or happy house and chickpea. They never made any attempt to hide who they wanted out amongst each other. BB seems to selectively enforce the rules. I hope Dale goes out by a wide margin. Luke still has some entertainment value in that he is so funny in his misery.
