He's gone from being a drug dealer, to user, to being a mentor for kids, not to mention Dale was mentioned as maybe selling drugs. The only thing I know for sure is that he admitted to being deported after being caught with drugs. Drugs is not funny, or cute, and not something that should be defended away. And if he is trying to make changes, that's great, but he's on tv and for many, it looks like he's being rewarded. Who knows what his truth is at this point, I do know defending it happened, before any mention of life changes happened--very much a surprise.

The stories about Darnell have been out since very early in the series, so our defense (not sure it's really a defense, more of an attempt at understanding) of him is due to our reading what he's been through and seeing how he's acting in the house. He's clearly working hard with his issues, even though they are still very apparent. Should he have been on Big Brother, given his prior conviction, I don't know. But to me he's a very interesting housemate and I respect that he's working so hard to fight his emotional issues and the ramifications of them.

And my mention of Dale selling drugs was nothing to do with Darnell, only that if Belinda has an issue with Darnell, why doesn't she have the same issue with Dale?


Anyway, moving on, not much seems to be going on today from what I can tell. Luke and Bex kissed again last night. They're still doing the food competition and I think they're on track to pass so far. I would kind of like another basic budget so that Lisa and Mikey could see that Luke and Bex act no better, and probably worse, than the others did last week.

Odds still have Bex to go, although Mo's odds are shortening (is that the right word? he's getting more likely to go than he was, but nowhere near Bex).

They won the luxury budget. Dale's lucky, because I'm sure he couldn't have done well on the basic budget shopping list (I'm not sure anyone could) and the group would have held it against him in next week's noms.

He isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. He may well screw up the luxury budget. That will get him nominated.

It's possible!

Rebecca told Rex that she knew Rachel was fake because she was different in the auditions. Rex told Rachel. Rachel got upset. Rex told her it was Rebecca who said it. Rebecca got upset. The funny thing was Rex told Rebecca that Rachel said that she (Rebecca) wasn't like she was in the auditions either, and Rebecca replied something like "well she can't expect me to be hyper 24/7!" No, but apparently Rebecca can expect Rachel to be as she was in auditions 24/7.

Rebecca is still favourite to go with the bookies. And it looks like it's even more definitely her - 1/7 for most bookies compared to 1/4 yesterday. Mo's hovering around 5/1 and Darnell around 14/1. Darnell is convinced Rebecca is invincible (and doesn't seem to stop talking about it - he's annoying me!) and seems to think he will go. It doesn't seem like Mo cares either way, but I think deep down he assumes he's going. Rebecca thinks she's safe but not in the Mario way.

They are basing their belief in Rebecca's popularity on her having beaten Mario. It hasn't occurred to any of them that the voting public just didn't like Mario.

I think Darnell really thinks he's in trouble and is using his "poor me I don't want to go" to try to gain sympathy. It is doing just the opposite. If by some strange quirk he does go, it will be because he changed voter's minds this week.

Is there any way we, in the US, can vote? I dislike Rebecca so much I'd be willing to spend a few dollars to make sure she goes.

You could try to see if the number works from here? From the US the number would be
011 44 9016 161613 to evict Rebecca
(swap the last two for 03 to evict Darnell, 11 to evict Mo). I don't know how much it would cost.

I just tried it, and I get the busy tone - I'm not sure if that's because it can't be called from outside the country or because the line's actually busy. It's 7.30pm there now so it's probably a peak time, particularly if they just watched BBLB. If you try this evening US time then the Brits will be in bed. My bank has a freephone (1-800 equivalent) number and I can ring that from here, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Let us know if you get through!

Oh, and Darnell is annoying me too! He doesn't seem to realise how badly he came across when they were deciding who to do the HoH comp. I'm sure that prompted a couple of his nominations. Every now and then Kat or Maysoon points out a few things and he seems to get it, then he forgets and does his woe is me thing again. I don't think he's likely to go home now, too many voting days with him having low votes. If there's an upset it will be Mo.

I tried the number you posted and got a message that the number I dialed is incorrect. I don't know if it is my cell or that they don't take foreign calls. I have tons of money to use up on my cell plan but I will try once on my land line later just to see if it works.

I just tried again and I still get a busy tone. I reckon they've set it up so you can't dial from outside the country.

I watch the live show at:

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/big-brother-9-uk-channel-4-show

He posts the London time of the show and you just need to translate it to your time. I am on the West Coast and I'm 8 hours behind.


You can watch on You Tube at:

http://www.youtube.com/user/Kingpotter10

or

http://www.youtube.com/user/stentionhaus

and I read about it at:

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bigbrother/liveupdates/

Can you post a link for Justin tv please? I had it once, but then it said it wasn't able to carry BB anymore.

Ooo thanks for that, I thought he was shutdown too.

Big day today. Looks like Darnell showered naked in the garden - for the first time ever - on the eve of the eviction! Not that I'm complaining. He has a nice bottom.

Luke had a fit of the green eyed monster after Rebecca kissed Mohamed on a dare. Not sure how the night went, I need to catch up.

I'll "spoil" the show this afternoon as long as the streaming works. I'm hoping Rebecca goes, and that she gets some cheers as well as jeers, because she's always been herself, not fake like some of the others who've left. For some reason I like her, even though she's so irritating!

Live show started. Boos while Davina was talking were more for Bex, but the crowd chants are mixed. I missed a lot of what Davina said because I was on the phone... highlights now until about ten to two board time.

(Highlights so far are showing Darnell looking bad.)

Can I say that Dale is behaving in an idiotic manner? I wouldn't want to say anything that would get me moderated but really, over the last couple of weeks he's just begun to behave exactly like he did in his intro video. I really want him to be nominated and gone next.

And the 6th person evicted from the Big Brother house is:

Rebecca!

Big gasps from everyone! And I think some in the studio where Davina is too. Sounds like she's half crying, half excited. Lots of hugs. Luke looks devastated. Dale too.

Interview in about 40mins.

Interview time. Showing clips from last half hour: Darnell and Mo hug and look ecstatic; Darnell says he can't believe it, Kat says she can; Luke says "this house has screwed you right over." Mo sings "happy Hell!" Kat sounds so happy while hugging Darnell.

Davina's trying to evict Bex but she's screaming. She seems ok about it. Lots of hugs. She's still screaming. Crowd mixed, lots of boos but cheering too. She seems a little shellshocked but not too bad. She's posing for the cameras! Qns after the break.

Dav asks if she's surprised, she says she is. Told she got 65.4% of the vote and is now shouting that everybody must hate her. Says she thinks Kat, Rachel, Darnell, Mo and maybe Maysoon nommed her. Shown Darnell, Maysoon, Kat, Mo, Rachel (she got them all right!). Bex says she was entertaining even though she was disgusting. (Finding it hard to follow her.) Dav asks about her house husband, show clips of Luke talking about her. Show clips of the kissing. Audience go awwww and clap. Bex talks about the big spot on her head in one of the clips. Says they spent so much time together it just sort of happened. Really cares about him, will speak to him on the outside. Doesn't know what will happen. Says she doesn't fancy him but cares about him a lot. Likes him. Says he will get on with Dale and Stu now. Says she thought Mo was going to go, "the obvious one."

Dav says she was quite a handful. Clips of her acting spoilt and with boobs everywhere. Dav asks if she's like that all the time, she says worse on the outside. Finds annoying people funny. Finds Kat irritating. Can't deal with happy house. Says Kat's such a "gimmick." Dav asks if she gets her boobs out so much at home, she says she does. Says did she want to get them out now, don't think she did, but the screen's choppy.

Dav asks about the gorilla task, and being so rubbish... she just makes noises really.

Says Darnell too aggressive. Quite likes Rex mostly but sometimes doesn't as he talks about his girlfriend all the time. Says Dale is wicked. Wants Luke to win. Or Mikey (not sure if she's serious). She gets all excited when Dav says there's no clear winner as she thought they'd want Kat to win. Says her time in the house was brilliant. Best bits and that's all.

The HOH this week is a hot pepper eating contest. They are all going into the DR, and are shown 8 hot peppers numbered 1 to 8. 1 is the mildest, 8 is the hottest, and that is also how many points finishing it is worth (1=1pt, etc.). They each get 5 minutes to eat as many of the peppers as possible (they can go in any order they want). The person with the most points wins HOH- and this week they don't get to choose who goes to heaven with them- instead a certain number of highest scoring runner ups will go there. Darnell and Dale are participating, but they are only playing for heaven spots- they can't serve a 2nd HOH term.

they're about halfway through, and as of now Kat is leading with 18 points...

I can't imagine anyone beating Kat on the chilli eating challenge if she didn't want to be beaten. I haven't seen the result anywhere, anyone know who ended up HOH?

Seems like Dale and Stuart are being mean to people today. I wish they'd get off Maysoon's back, just because you don't shout your opinion over everyone else doesn't mean you don't have one.

I'm hoping for a big group up next week and a double eviction of Luke and Dale.

Found it - Stuart is HOH. Rex, Mo and Mikey were also in the top four and therefore are in Heaven (first time for Mikey!).

Not sure if there are only those four in Heaven or he has to choose more...
