My guess is Maysoon and Stuart are safe. I think Rachel will be safe because she's garnered a lot of sympathy from live feed viewers the last couple of days, and similarly but opposite, I would have thought Rex was safe but he's been so cruel to Rachel I think quite a few will now vote for him. Darnell still has a lot of support but he's also lost fans recently. Some seem to hate Mo. Some hate Kat. But I still think Dale and Luke will get the most votes. I'm hoping Dale goes but I'd settle for Luke! It'll be interesting to see what the bookies make of this.

I'm back. That was a scary one in that it was loud. I guess it was in Chino Hills which is sort of far from me. I wonder if the BB house in Studio City felt it.

Flagg, over the last few days since the nomination pod was put up they've been more blatant. Like Mamabatsy says, they've been using that football code for a couple of weeks, and other ones before that. They even showed Mikey using it on BBLB yet he's not up for eviction! I bet they'll edit tonight's Highlights show to show those they've targeted,

The noise is always the scariest thing for me. The first big one (over 5.0 is what I call big) I thought someone had burst into the upstairs window and was stamping on the ceiling it was so loud. Once I knew what to expect it hasn't seemed as bad, although we've only had a couple that big since. I bet the US BB houseguests felt it.

Wow that DS BB forum is a joke. Everyone screaming "FIX!". As if this show was ever completely fair. Every BB manipulates the votes, that's the way it has always been. The task with identifying Rex's girlfriend was quite funny. He was always so over the top in describing how perfect she was, that they got it wrong and picked a better looking girl. They then went on and on with him about how they are sure they were right because their pick was so perfect and the other option (the correct one) looked common, had way too much makeup, and looked pissed off.

I don't know why they think Luke is BB's favourite. I know they played up the Rebecca/Luke romance, much like they tried to play up the "love square" earlier, but they showed Luke's bad behaviour yesterday and his general nastiness over the last few weeks. I don't see why they think he's the golden boy. But I think it would be unfair to change the vote to a vote to save. If they do that I think they'd do it to get rid of the people they think have proved a bit boring, like Maysoon and Stuart, and nothing to do with Luke. So in that sense I would think it manipulation, but it's not unprecedented. (I also don't know where this vote to save rather than evict idea came from, I think someone just made it up and it spread.) I think having Rex's girlfriend in the task was unfair. A sibling/parent/friend is ok, because the housemates don't really doubt their loyalty. But a girlfriend is different, it tells Rex that she's still with him, when he probably doubted that, particularly as he must know what photos are out there! It seemed a bit biased to me.

If the various forums and the Big Mouth audience are anything to go by, looks like Luke will go on Friday. He'll probably get quite a booing as well. I'm puzzled by the vote to save rumor as well, on that other forum there are people acting like its a done deal, when there has been nothing said about it anywhere except on forums.

BBLB was on but no mention of the vote. The Mirror newspaper has said lines are open and it's a vote to evict. Odd that BBLB didn't confirm, and now there are only two days to vote. They failed most of the parts of the cops and robbers task, but the only part that matters is whether the cops find out that Dale stole the token. They're interrogating people right now. Also Maysoon made a formal request to leave the house, but after being given time to think about it she seems less sad today.

It's a vote to evict, confirmed by Ch4 and the lines are open. Voting ends early though, just before midnight Thursday, instead of during Friday's live show. It's been very odd this week! If the forum talk is representative Dale or Luke will definitely go. I wonder if it will be a double eviction...

Not to fuel any conspiracy theories, BUT.. maybe they want to see how the votes go before they decide how many will be voted out. If more than one is booted, they need time to set up for two (or more) interviews and such.

You conspiracy theoriest you! They really should boot two, or they'll have to do lots of big evictions later on. Someone on DS wondered if they're doing it so they don't have to pay for nine sets of friends and family to come to the set, they can just get the top ones - but that rather gives away who's going. Then there's talk about Maysoon possibly leaving and mucking up the voting. Interestingly, although it's very early days yet, the bookies have short odds on Rex as well as Luke and Dale to go. I guess his treatment of Rachel and Maysoon has gained him some enemies.

Maysoon is now 100% sure she wants to leave and has asked for her suitcase.

Maysoon's officially gone. I liked her and I kind of think Rex's interpretation of her VT made her think she was damaging her reputation and was the thing that finally made her leave. Oh well.

The article on the OS says the same thing, she has been down since Sunday when Rex confronted her about her VT. I have a feeling she was planning it anyway. Seems like another Orlaith, a model doing a short stint in the house to get exposure.

I wonder if she'll get BBLB or BBBM time. I don't suppose she'll get a Davina interview.

Sounds like she never planned on staying. Someone on DS said a week or 2 back she mentioned some kind of commitment on August 1st.

Rex is definitely going to be up next week after what he did today. He was dared by Darnell to just get tokens with the budget this week, and without telling anyone in Hell, he got some drinks, some bread, a couple of regular tokens, and FIFTY SEVEN special tokens...and the Hell HG's apparently still don't know it yet.

BB should give all the housemates individual boxed meals this week with Rex getting a cheap prize instead of food in his. What was he thinking? Perhaps it's time BB used that padded prison room we were shown before the show started. Rex would go crazy without someone to torment.

I don't think he even got bread. I think it was a brilliant move. It's not like BB can let them starve, so he doesn't have much to lose. At least this has the chance of being entertaining, if BB is creative with it.

Don't all the luxury token awards arrive at the same time? I know they can save the hot water tokens, but I thought the special ones came with the shopping. If they could use them throughout the week it wouldn't be such a bad idea, as quite a few of the tokens have been big meals. This is the reason why, despite his tendency to be mean, I kind of like Rex. He doesn't take things seriously and wants to rock the boat. I don't like it when he pushes things too far with people, like with Rachel, but this sort of thing entertains me. Apparently he has vowed to shave his head if he isn't evicted this week. I look forward to that.

The gamble paid off - the store room is FULL of food. Lots of whole dead things (lamb, fish), halal meat for Mo, tobacco, fruit, an octopus!! Not sure about the basic stuff but they can't say they'll be hungry. There are also envelopes marked "not to be opened until Friday," which mught be interesting.

Baby Sham (do/did you guys have that here?), coke. Stuff to make bread. Dale has already used some of the waxing strips! A photo of Suspect No.6 (not Rex's girlfriend), who Rex is declaring is only a 4 out of 10!!

That was the funniest thing I have ever seen in BB-- I flipped on the UK feeds just after they got the shopping... Brilliant move! (and what is baby sham?)

Baby Sham is a fizzy, lightly alcoholic drink that was huge in the late 70s/early 80s, it was trendy mostly because it was so cheesy. The catch phrase was "I'd looove a baby sham." You kind of had to be there! Ooops, it's babycham with a c, not an s. Here's an ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6s8kpo9IDg

Too funny, never heard of the stuff! The more I think about it, the more I think Rex is playing Dr. Will's game from BBUS-- he's doing the same "send me home, send me home, oh no, may as well keep me around" thing, he is totally not taking anything seriously, he has people eating out of the palm of his hand. Not a huge fan of his per se, but he's playing a nearly perfect game. Don't know if he will win in UK rules, though. (he probably would make it to the end in the US)
