Today's BBLB is up. There are 3 parts to this one. Big Brother 8 UK Little Brother August 13 Part 1 of 3 It's possible Carole may be in for her own rude awakening. Article: Liam Reveals Carole's Clever Plan Article: HMs Plot Shopping List Coup Today the HMs have had an exercise task and the TWINS (Sam & Amanda) have won guru status for it. In this task, the HMs had to go through an exercise course in the AM, then again in the afternoon to see how much they've improved. Ziggy was exempt bc he won guru status yesterday. One more exemption left this week. Article: The Powers That Be (exercise task) Also, as part of the guru week tasks, in what BB is calling The Circle of Life (where the HMs sit on the tree stumps), the HMs had to go around in the circle and tell the person to their left what they did not like about them, yesterday they did the same, but said what they loved about them. Today's list from a DS WHATM thread: Gerry to Carole: Your incessant talking about your fave subject. Gerry to Tracey: Hair doesn't keep pink color long enough, that your bottom isn't as perky as your personality. Tracey to Ziggy: That you always bring yourself down man. Ziggy to Jonty: You constantly avoid me since I spanked you the other night. Jonty to Brian: Too darn popular. Brian to Twins: You like pink too much I hate pink. Twins to Liam: When you talk about rumpy pumpy sexy time. Liam to Kara: The fact that you're a c-ck, nah, the fact that you made us feel dead guilty when I nominated you. Kara to Carole: Too caring to others in the house. HMs waiting for exercise task to begin.
Tracey running the course.

Hi Kitt, hope you had fun this weekend :-) I'm behind as well, but I'm trying to keep up with what's going on with this week's task. I think if they do have 4 go, I'd like to see go Kara-L, Jonty, Carole and Tracey. I'd rather see Ziggy go, but he's immune, and if Liam doesn't get immunity, I think he may go as well (I don't know what he's done to put some people off still). I really think it's Carole's time though, it's in the air, so I hope she doesn't get guru status and stay.

I did thanks! Yeah, I feel it in the air for Carole too, if she's up there's a good chance she'd go. I just hope she doesn't get an exemption. I forgot about Gerry before, but he could be out if he was nominated too. I'm beginning to think that Kara-L and Jonty are too innocuous to be evicted and the audience might go for some of the more familiar faces. Gerry to Tracey was a bit cruel!! I think I might be in love with Dermot.

Today is Tuesday August 14 Day 77 and today's task is to find the "Soul Guru," which will be announced later on today. Thus far the HMs have gone through a lie detector test task, though I'm not sure how this will find today's winner (maybe there's another, dunno). There is speculation at this writing though, whether or not the gurus will be the ones choosing who is evicted on Friday or not, bc once the third guru is selected, BB has another twist to come down the pike. It will suck though, bc I can't see them voting anyone but Kara-L and Jonty out (unless they are the gurus). Very contrived and irritating if that happens. With any luck BBUS will evict Dick, so I might get some semblance of BB satisfaction, lol. Article: The Whole Truth Article: Big Brother Sets Lie Detector Task Article: Test Tease Out Surprising Revelations Yesterday's highlights show is up with 6 parts; this HL show is of Monday August 12 Day 75. Big Brother 8 UK Highlight Show August 13 Part 1 of 6 (HL of Mon Aug 12 Day 75) I like Dermot as well, he's funny and silly and makes the show that much more fun. It was interesting on yesterday's BBLB that Ziggy's sister tried to make him out to be a good guy, trying to help Chanelle (insert eye roll here), but it didn't seem to wash with the audience. So what did Gerry do to Tracey? What did I miss? Here's a short article about Chanelle missing Ziggy, but that's to be expected I think, she is just 19 and a lovely person, so if she decides to see him outside of the BB house, then it is her choice, but I do hope he doesn't hurt her again, although I think he will. He is a very immature 26 and he knew she was 19 before he hooked up with her, he should have sorted it out before he hooked up with her and not used her age against her. Maybe Chanelle's visit to LA will gain he a new perspective on the situation. Chanelle Admits She'd Take Ziggy Back This is a cute pic of Chanelle, though it it supposed to resemble Twiggy, I think she looks a bit like Mia Farrow.

After passing the lie detector task, the HMs were then asked to choose the "Soul Guru" between Brian and Tracey, who each answered all their questions truthfully; they've chosen Tracey who is now the third guru and not up for eviction on Friday. Article: Tracey's the Soul Guru

Not a twist, but it will make things interesting. Sam, Amanda, Kara-L, Jonty and Gerry have been called to task by BB for using pencils, either yesterday or earlier this morning. As a punishment, Sam, Amanda and Kara-L must do all the cooking, while Jonty and Gerry must do all the cleaning, and no one else is allowed. I don't know for how long though. Carole of course has complained that she too used the pencils and should be punished, but thus far BB is having none of it. Fun huh? The coup seems to be working, poor sad Carole, I hope she goes on Friday. I still don't understand the dislike of Liam, it goes on today, I like him and I just don't get it. Does anyone know why?

rumor has it that it will be: 1 person gets voted out from the public. at least 1 and up to 3 will be evicted by the gurus (they'll individually decide who they want evicted...but if there are any repeats, they don't get a 2nd pick) They're also saying 5 will go to the finale.

So who's where then? We have: Gurus: Ziggy, Twins, Tracey Up for eviction: Carole, Liam, Brian, Gerry, Kara-L, Jonty, is that all? Public would evict... I don't know - not Brian, I don't think Liam. I'm still not sure the public care about Kara-L and Jonty enough to vote for them so I'm saying Carole or Gerry. Guru choices: Ziggy: Jonty (or Kara-L), he wouldn't dare do a newbie for image's sake Twins: Jonty or Kara-L, ditto on the others Tracey: possibly Gerry. I think Jonty will definitely go, Kara-L probably, and maybe Gerry. Nope, Stormie, I don't understand and I haven't seen the Liam hate. I still like him a lot.

Today's BBLB is up, there are 3 parts to this one. Big Brother 8 UK Little Brother August 14 Part 1 of 3 There's some people at the WHATM thread who seem to want both Carole and Liam out, which is their prerogative; I understand the point about Carole, but not Liam, maybe some people just don't get his sense of humor. Although, I found a Liam appreciation thread at DS today, so I guess there are more people who like him than I initially thought. Here's the thread if anyone wants to take a look. DS Liam Appreciation Thread Amanda putting more fairy dust on Liam during yesterday's task ;-)
Here's the guru's this week. I think that they might vote out Kara-L and Jonty bc they would not want to vote out the people they've gone through all this with before them, and I think the public wants Carole out, but if they get to choose 2 as well, then I think Gerry will go also. Mind Guru
Body Guru
Soul Guru

Yesterday's highlights show is up (HL are of Monday Day 76), which has 6 parts, and BBBM with 3 parts. I'm also adding to this post the last two days of shows, just to be concise, plus I think I messed up the date of one of them. Big Brother 8 UK Highlights Show August 14 Part 1 of 6 (HL of Mon Aug 13 Day 76) Big Brother 8 UK Big Mouth August 14 Part 1 of 3 Big Brother 8 UK Little Brother August 14 Part 1 of 3 Big Brother 8 UK Highlights Show August 13 Part 1 of 6 (HL of Sun Aug 12 Day 75) Big Brother 8 UK Little Brother August 13 Part 1 of 3 A CH4 teaser of Friday's eviction and the guru twist; they confirm nothing in this though. But the rag mag article below says that the gurus are to evict one HM. They will have to choose between the two who have the most votes. So, if that's true and Carole has the most, you think they'll evict her? I'm wondering if they will or not, seems that the twins might, but I can't see either Ziggy or Tracey doing that.

Tracey and Ziggy got into last night, as Ziggy confronted Tracey on her saying, in the lie detector test, that she thought Chiggy was not a real relationship. Article: Guru Row Also, someone at DS suggested that perhaps there will be a normal vote, then as a twist, the gurus will then have to choose to evict one HM from the next two who received the highest number of votes. That would be great, I hope that person is right, then at least there would be a greater chance that Carole would be gone. And, the HMs caved after Carole's emotional blackmail cryfest, and let her do the shopping list again. Sheesh. If Gerry lied about his age, he should have said he was 12, rather than 29.

I am really hating Carol more and more as time goes by. She is the most manipulative, controlling b/tch I have ever seen on any Big Brother. She has to be in control of everything to do with the food at all times. The other day she had a big argument with Gerry about him not asking before taking food. Who put her in charge of everything anyway? Why should he ask HER for permission when it is community food? Just now Brian was quite upset with her for taking over the shopping list once again. He said something to her about it, first she swore at him and then she stormed off crying and now Brian is acting all apologetic for making her cry and the original issue has been forgotten.

I'm not sure of the details, but I think that Carole screwed up somehow and just lost them their entire luxury budget for the week.

Breaking news, Carole had hidden some biscuits and brought them out today for everyone (yesterday people massively searched for food), and she had also whisked an egg, which is against the rule that Kara-L, twins, Jonty & Gerry are tasked to do the cooking and cleaning as a punishment for writing the other day, so they have lost their luxury shopping budget and now are back to basic. Now she's trying to justify her biscuit hiding, sheesh. The HMs seem to be trying to take it with a grain of salt, it's kind of funny though. Well done BB, now if they can just let the viewers do what they want and get her out, we'd be all set, lol.

I'm just watching yesterday's highlights and Carole is refusing to go to the diary room. At bedtime they asked her to go in there to get some ointment for her feet (although they didn't say why) and she just got upset, started swearing and shouting at them. I think she's got some hormonal problems or something medical. It's unreasonable to overreact that badly to a simple request isn't it? So I wonder if that was it, Flagg? I don't believe housemates are allowed to refuse BB's requests.

I didn't see Stormie's post when I posted. I don't think the hms will vote her out, they're too emotionally involved in keeping her happy. It's up to the audience!

It's quite possible Carole's in peri-menopause, which is no excuse for her emotional blackmailing tactics though, but may be some of her "hormonal-like" reactions that she shows. But when people discussed that incident the other day, some were saying she had complained that she had hurt her feet bc the shoes for the obstacle course task were tight, and then she bumped her head on something. Gerry and Jonty had gone to the DR in her stead, but Gerry jokingly had pointed out they might figure out they are not her, as they don't even resemble her. And some also thought she is smart enough to realize she will not be well received by the public, and was really upset about that. Poor sad Carole, and now she's gone and lost them food. Someone said Liam seemed angry, but is not showing it--good for him, his mother will be very proud at his restraint.

Yeah, I don't think it's an excuse, but maybe a reason. I'd say (with no relevant training to back it up ) that she's got something medical going on, either hormones or depression or just severe stress from the house. Her crying has switched from just being from her being overwrought about something to being unreasonable. I'm beginning to think she should see a doctor. Interesting factoid: on BBLB they say Brian got the highest score in the intelligence test they did as part of the Guru task. 7/10 isn't bad.

Today's BBLB is up, there are 3 parts to this one. It appears, from reading at DS, that today's BBLB has sussed out Carole a bit, about time, lol. Big Brother 8 UK Little Brother August 15 Part 1 of 3 I know, Brian is really not as dumb as he portrayed, lol. They are all outwardly blaming BB for the food shortage, not Carole, I hope though that inwardly they blame her as it IS her fault. Ziggy whining that he may leave, if he has to eat just one bowl of pasta a day. Last week's laminate said if any HM hid food, there would be dire consequences and Kara can cook, she didn't need to "show" her how to whisk an egg, sheesh. And Carole's been turning on the water works all day. I hope she re-hydrates, wouldn't want her to pass out, who'd pick her up? Also, it looks like Tracey has figured out the latest twist. Article: Tracey Predicts Eviction Twist Article: Carole in Tears Over Shopping List I found a Stentionhouse appreciation thread at DS. He's the person who uploads the majority of the BB8UK shows at YouTube that I watch and post here. Thank you so much from across the pond from me as well, you're fantastic DS Stentionhouse Appreciation Thread

Check out what this DS poster is saying. Having been involved in domestic abuse work, this poster suggests that Carole has acted similarly to an abuser, no facts at all, just an interesting opinion given. Maybe it's not hormones after all. Ya never know. DS Single Post Re Carole's Behavior

CH4 article on Carole breaking the rules today, amongst others about the aftermath. Article: Ration Decision (Carole breaks the rules--twice) Article: Basic Instinct (Ziggy rants in the DR over basic rations) Article: Food for Thought (some HMs "discuss" food shortage) Article: Sam and Blast (Sam complains in DR over punishment & lack of food)

That BBLB (Aug 15) confirms the following: Brian, Carole, Gerry, Jonty, Kara-Louise and Liam are all on the block and now face the public vote. On Friday the names of the two housemates with the most public votes will be announced to the house, and the Gurus (Ziggy, Twins, Tracey) will decide LIVE which of the two is evicted. My guess is two of Kara-Louise, Jonty and Gerry will be the top two with the public, and the Gurus would not evict Gerry out of loyalty.

I haven't watched this yet, so I'm not sure how it works yet, but this is a clip of an argument Carole had tonight with Gerry, about, guess, anyone? anyone? FOOD yet again. She's classic. Clip of Carole Loosing it with Gerry I think it will be Kara-L too, even in the faux lie detector test BB said she was not as happy about being there as she portrayed. She denied it, but she must be going nuts with the control freakness, she's a cook and that's what she wanted to help with too, sheesh. With any luck there will be another eviction twist and have one on Sat as well or something equally get Carole outesque-like, lol.
