I think the whole idea of Mario going in is already cheesy. It would be funny if she said no.

I would be funny. She could say "get back to me when I'm out of the house." It would get them both some extra publicity which seems to be what they crave.

I don't really like either of them, but they're clearly made for each other. She said yes. Here's a happy piccie:

Yes!

So they're not nominating people for eviction today, instead they are nominating the next HoH. Result will be revealed on BBLB at 10am.

With the live task on Wednesday and no normal nominations this week, I'd guess that the bottom two in the task will be up for eviction on Friday. If so, BB are going to have to be very careful they make a fair task, particularly with respect to Mikey. I don't think it can be physical, and obviously can't be visual, so I reckon it'll have to be something to do with memory, like asking them questions about the other housemates.

Mo is voted HoH and therefore is immune from eviction this week.

Possible info (not confirmed by Ch4) about tomorrow's live task/twist:

http://www.bigbrotheronline.co.uk/bigbrother9/latest/wk12/30.htm

They say there will be live nominations then the nominees will compete in a task, with the winner winning $50K. Both nominees will face eviction on Friday.

HoH noms went as follows:

Darnell: Mo and Kat
Kat: Rachel and Mo
Lisa: Sara and Mikey
Mikey: Lisa and Rachel
Mo: Darnell and Rex
Rachel: Kat and Mo
Rex: Darnell and Kat
Sara: Lisa and Mo

So it was pretty close with Mo getting 4 votes, but Kat getting three and Lisa, Rachel and Darnell getting two.

Ch4/BB have confirmed that the nominations tomorrow will be face to face, which seems odd as you'd think there would be a certain amount of going with the flow, rather than the shock there might be otherwise. Then a jeopardy type quiz between the evictees will determine who wins the $50K.

There are some people saying that they have heard through "sources" that there will be someone leaving tomorrow, either with an eviction or a bribe. That's not confirmed though.

Face to face nominations will put pressure on "BBlock" to make sure they nominate the others. It should be interesting. They have to be careful not to incur the wrath of Kat if they nominate a friend.

I hope that Kat, Rachel, Darnell and Rex make it to the final with Mo. If they do, I won't care who wins. If Sara or Mikey win, I may be sick. I don't like Lisa, but I can see how others do and it wouldn't bother me all that much but Sara has played all the fellows and Mikey is just plain disgusting. It would not bother me if Sara wins the extra money since it might make her feel a little more independent and not so obviously on the hunt for a man, any man.

Yes, it virtually ensures that someone like Rachel, who may have dared nominate Rex or Darnell in private, because of their recent behaviour, will instead nominate Sara and Lisa. I can imagine Rex nominating someone else just because he likes upsetting people, but not the others. I think Darnell, Kat, Mo and Rachel will all vote for Lisa and Sara. Lisa, Sara and Mikey will all vote for Rex and Darnell. Rex will probably vote for Lisa and Mikey. It would only take one stray vote for Rex or Darnell to get them up for eviction but I don't think it would happen.

I don't like Sara either, although I do feel sorry for her recently, as Darnell's just been so rude and nasty to her. I think Sara is very bad at people, she doesn't see anything from other people's viewpoints at all, hence her not realising that all her flirting hurts feelings and not being able to drop a conversation, even when it's in her own best interest to do so.

I still find Darnell fascinating, but he must be ridiculously hard to live with. He's so wrapped up in himself and his feelings he's lashing out like a child. I seriously think he's losing it and urgently needs some therapy. I think he's screwed his chances at being in the top three through his recent behaviour. Also I worry about what life will be like for him outside the house. It really doesn't seem like he has anyone he can turn to. I can imagine him self-destructing very quickly.

Yes, lashing out like a child. His behavior is quite like the behavior of some children who are adopted when they are old enough to feel that they have been rejected by their parents. They act up in the adopted household over and over as if they are trying to be so bad that they will be sent away. Darnell behaves badly so that people will reject him and then he can say to himself that he knew they really didn't like him or want his friendship. In a way, like a child, he is telling himself that he just wants to get the rejection over with because he knows it's coming at some point.

Precisely right, Mama. And he's going to get so much blame and rejection when he gets out I don't know how he'll handle it with no support system. I hope BB are looking out for him.

Well they lost this week's food challenge after Mo cheated on a slots game, so they're on basic budget. Mikey said it was a good thing he was immune from eviction this week!

I'm going to try to watch the special show this afternoon and I'll spoil if there's anything spoilable.

Aww, I feel sorry for Mo. He wanted to be HOH for so long and then blew it? He's just one of those people who just can't do anything right. They all seem to like him and I don't find him at all offensive, but he seems to be out of sync all the time.

What kind of special show? Are you in the US? How do you see the shows live if you are? I have to wait for You Tube. Since the main fellow got sick, one got a real job and another disappeared, I only have two sources on You Tube and sometimes they aren't reliable.

Yes, I'm back in the US, but dotcomboy11 usually has streaming of the shows. The quality isn't good but it's still very watchable. I don't want to post the direct link, but go to his youtube page http://www.youtube.com/user/dotcomboy11 and follow the link on the left to his website, it'll point you where you need to go.

The special show tonight is on at about 3pm boardtime. It's a live face to face nomination, followed by a live task, which is meant to be just between the two nominees, with a chance to win #50K. Some reports have someone leaving tonight, but others say it's just a game to win money.

I'm still watching most of the shows at kingpotter10's youtube. I noticed he didn't have one of the Diary Room Uncuts, and when I searched for that I found dirtymonkey151, who seems like a good back up.

I got fed up with Mo for a while, but I like him again now. He really does seem to try and diffuse situations, and keep the peace, but somehow always does something wrong in the process. He's moving up my favourite ladder as Darnell's moving down.

Thanks, I'll try dirtymonkey151. Kingpotter is where I usually watch but sometimes he is slow and sometimes things just never make it there. My backup place is bigbrother9uk. He doesn't do BBLB or BBBM or the diary room uncut, but is pretty reliable about the HL shows. I tried dotcomboy11 once or twice but on my computer it was fairly hopeless. I had a series of stills with intermittent sound.

I get a series of stills too, but the sound is usually correct so I don't mind "watching" like that.

Davina's introducing the highlights show (on for the first hour) and talking about tonight.

She says they're all under pressure, two face an incredibly difficult decision.... sounds like it's more than just a quiz show, so maybe if they take the money they leave the house??

Confirms noms are face to face and live. And she says one nominee could win 50K tonight.

The special show starts at 3.05pm our time, so I don't know if Davina will be back before then.

Mikey is so unaware that he seems like a pervert at times! Rachel told him that Mo was wearing fishnet tights under his playing card costume, and he wanted to feel them. He seemed completely aroused by them and Mo just politely lets him feel them while Rachel stares with her hand over her mouth!

In the diary room, Mikey's just called Darnell a psychologist's wet dream. Perfect!

I think BB has done a reasonably good job of showing that Darnell is doing horrible things but that he's completely screwed up and almost can't help himself. And I'm impressed at how many of the houseguests (Mikey, Kat, Rachel, Rex, Mo) understand that Darnell has serious issues, rather than just thinking he's a straightforward bad person. Particularly as most people on the forums have come to the decision that Darnell's satan, without any thought of why he's acting like that.

Mikey sure has that one right! It's too bad that people see Darnell as evil. He needs some serious therapy. I think he's probably a really nice guy underneath his pain. Perhaps after seeing the show he will try to get help.

He's intelligent enough to see what he's doing, but I don't know if he can control it. It's going to take a lot of work. I hope BB don't abandon him to the media, because I think he will spiral downwards in self-loathing very quickly. Or do something stupid.

Task show starts in a couple of mins!

Show starting. Davina is in the task room, and it looks like a room in a casino. I think there are cards on the table. She's got the 50K in a box, and says that prize money is separate from the 100K main prize.

Big Brother calls the HoH to the Diary Room (he's still in his playing card outfit, the others have changed). On the table in front of him are pens and cards, and he has to distribute them to the housemates.

Rachel's said straightaway that she thinks they have to write down who they have to evict. They're all stunned. BB tells them they have one minute to write down the two hms they want to nominate for eviction this week. Mo is immune as he's HoH. The others can't see what they're writing on the boards.

Good for Rachel for nominating Rex! I'm surprised Mo nommed Mikey.

BB says as the last noms of the series have been made, the housemates can discuss any previous nominations.

Dav now saying in a few mins either Lisa or Sara could win 50K. Advert break.

Back. BB calls Lisa and Sara to the task room. The others are still discussing who they've voted for in the past.

The others can now see Lisa and Sara on the tv screen. BB says L and S have to play "the prisoners' dilemma" in which they could win 50K in cash.

Each have two blocks in front of them with "take" or "share" on them. BB will ask them to choose a block (take or share) and show each other the block. If they both show "share" they both get 25K. If one shares and one takes, the "take" person gets 50K, the other gets nothing. If they both choose "take" they both get nothing.

(This is the same as on a game show on UK tv at the moment, my MIL is addicted to it.)

BB saying think carefully, will be able to discuss what to do for one minute. They're permitted to lie to the other person during that time. (E.g. if they convince the other person they will share, and then take, then they get 50K not 25K.) During the chat they are both saying they will share, wouldn't dream of doing anything else.
