Yes, it's like they can't get the shot they want so any little thing excites them.

Does anyone know how the bicycles are working? Are they just ordinary stationary bikes, or do you have to keep up to some set speed? I can't understand why Belinda and Rebecca are having such a hard time, if they need to be on there for half an hour can't they just go more slowly when they get tired? Maybe it's on a high resistance setting or something.

I have a feeling that BB has delibrately sabotaged the bikes- enough so that's difficult, but not impossible, to win this. It'll cause tension between the two sides- especially if the bike task is failed but the other ones aren't..

Yeah, I think you're right. Apparently the seats were too high for Rebecca and Belinda, and on the other bike the chain keeps slipping. I think the resistance must be set high as well or they wouldn't be having so much trouble. I'll be interested to find out if and how there will be an HoH next week. If any of the males get it, I think they will split the house how it is split now, and the rooms would stay the same or swap completely. I'm not sure about the girls, except Rebecca.

The cycling would have been tough anyway- they have to average about 11 miles per hour on each bike to get through the 646 miles (1040 km) in 30 hours... And I think the divide and the HOH is going to be there for a while- it doesn't make sense it only being for one week. They voted this time- I'd bet they'll choose the HOH and who goes where by a random method this week...to try and mix things up a bit.

They passed the cycle part of the task in the end, but Dale and Mo failed the wine recognition task, and Rex and Kat failed to eat a huge baguette. So basic budget for the coming week. I think the cycling task was silly with only half the house doing it, having been on a basic budget for four days, with one of them ill and two of them not really able to reach the pedals. A lot of them really seem pretty sick now, they might have caught whatever Luke had. It just seems over the top, not just hard work but cruel.

I just watched BBLB and they said that the housemates passed the task and would be on a luxury budget????? Do they not pay attention. The group could only fail one and they failed two. Is that a difficult concept for BBLB?

They said all the rules and then still messed up! I like how they have the guests trying to eat the huge baguette though, it just can't be done! BBLB is hardly worth watching now, they have some interesting guests but seem to talk over them. George tells them what they're trying to say and Zezi seems like she's too busy focusing on her next line. It's a shame. I'm way behind, watching stuff from Wednesday now. The odds have Belinda going home tomorrow. I don't mind her but I'd rather she went than Rex. I will try to watch the streaming at 1pm tomorrow and post in case anybody wants a quick summary.

I agree about BBLB. And they seem to love Mario. I don't remember any other evictee being on BBLB as much. George and Zezi don't seem to get that the rest of the world is laughing at him not with him. They seem to take him seriously.

Everyone seems to be getting sick or something- Rachel lost a crown this morning and has asked for a dentist...and the HG's pretty much agree Belinda is going.

I know they couldn't have foreseen that/when Luke would get ill, but given that he was ill when they started that cycling task, the least the could have done was given the riders some sort of rations. If Luke had something catching (and as they gave him antibiotics I would think it was) the others are obviously going to be more likely to catch it if they're exhausted AND starving. I generally like the tasks they give them, but I think they went too far on that one. Mario isn't actually too bad on BBLB but I don't like that they're making him into a kind of cult hero when he was so nasty in the house. Hopefully next week he'll be gone and Belinda will be there instead.

The eviction show has started. Highlights now, the announcement will be at about 1.55pm, and interview about 2.40pm. Davina hasn't said anything to suggest anything unusual is happening, so most likely just one person out, no one in, no funny stuff.

And the 5th person evicted from the Big Brother house is: Belinda! Interview in about 40mins.

Apparently the vote was 65% to vote out Belinda. If Rex was ever up against a favourite I think he'd be in trouble now. Mind you, who are the favourites?!

Interview time. Showing clips of announcement, Belinda smiled and said "ahh," said it was ok. Rex has his head in his hands. Now to real time, and Rex is saying (joking) he might make a run for the door! Davina talks to the house "you are live on channel four, please do not SING!" Hugs all round, she's out, crowd is mostly positive, yey! A few boos can definitely be heard but mostly it's cheers . She's wearing the union flag as a skirt! Working the crowd. Belinda says it was a rollercoaster ride. Extraordinary. Davina says it was a short time but she crammed a lot in. Asks if sad? Bel says it's the nature of the beast and she's ever positive. Happy to be out if that's where she needed to be. Dav asks who nommed her, she says Rachel, Darnell.. struggles. Dav shows her Mikey, Stuart, Dale, Maysoon, Rex complaining about the questioning and singing. Bel surprised no Rachel or Darnell. Says she loves being nosy, it's fascinating. Dav asks whether she backs off, she says she doesn't. Others don't know others' stories. She talks over Dav. Shows snoring clips. Bel apologises, says they didn't give her snore strips when she asked. Dav asks if she knew how loud she was, she said she didn't. Asks if she'd still be sat there if she didn't snore, she said possibly. Bel says she spoke up for others, like Mo. Wanted to make her own decision on others when she went in. Hopes she was honest. Says they were all extraordinary. Dav says about jumping in to help Mikey when he didn't need it. Belinda said she backed off, and he was nice about it. Dav shows clips of the singing. Asks if she went in to get a broader audience. She says not really. Talks about Heaven and Hell. Bel says she nearly died on the bike, pushed herself. Said bits of her were raw! What a challenge, collapsed when she came off, dizzy and couldn't stand. Rex: good chap, love him, bit mean to people, fantastic stories, good energy Rachel: not sure how trustworthy she is Lisa: incredibly fake but one of the most genuine people there, looked after her She wants Dale to win because he's honourable, great integrity. Sings a quick song, then best bits and over.

Thanks Kitt How can someone be fake and genuine at the same time, that's an oxymoron. I don't have a favorite, I thought I might be the only one, lol, but no one really stands out for me as a favorite. Maybe Kat should win, just because :-) Is the HOH over, of will they be bringing it back this week?

You're welcome! I think she meant that physically Lisa's all fake, with her over the top make-up, boobs and overtly sexy clothes, but that inside she's down to earth. She is a bit like that, kind of like one of the family (or my family anyway!) in many ways but with just a really weird idea of what she should look like. Yeah, I've been going back and forth on my favourites too. Kat was at first, and I still like her a lot, probably the most of all of them. I liked Darnell for a while but his "issues" with insecurity make him do some really weird things. I like Rex but he can say some really cruel things. I think they've put in quite a few people who are nice at their core, but full of flaws. Which is very interesting. Much better than a group of mean people trying to fake niceness. I think, of the people left, Luke might be the only one who I don't think is necessarily a nice person, but I'm open on him, he's not all bad for sure. Hoh - I don't think they've said, but my guess is they'll do it for four or five weeks then drop it. What I would really like to see soon is an eviction where more than two people are up.

well the HOH this week is an endurance comp, so they're switching it up (they're dressed up as gorillas haning from tires)...

Their idea of endurance is strange. They get food and potty breaks. They are able to SIT on the tires. Rebecca lasted four minutes. The others are still there hours later. With the breaks, they should be there for days.

Oh interesting, could be a Lisa or Rachel win then. Either way they are just likely to swap the current heaven and hell. I must go and look at the updates!

Looks like only Dale and Maysoon are still up. Anyone know what happened to Lisa and Rachel? I'd have thought they would have hung on forever.

Oh I get it... only three could compete. Why on earth didn't more Hell people compete if they were so desperate to get to Heaven? I hope Dale wins and keeps some of them back in Hell. Maysoon might be too "fair."

Only three were allowed to participate. It started out Bex, Dale and Maysoon. Bex dropped out after four minutes.

Maysoon wants to separate Luke and Bex. Dale wants to be with his friends which is close to a swap.

I'd like to see Bex with some of the current Heaven people, away from Luke's badmouthing. Mikey should also be split from Luke, because like with Mario, he just believes all his vitriol without any evidence. I think Mo and Kat stole some bananas and therefore have to be in Hell next week.
