What I've seen of Sophie, it's more that she accepts what others say in their nasty talk, but doesn't really initiate it herself. I think if she hadn't gotten sucked into Lisa's group she might have been a pretty good housemate.

I just got home so I missed the show again, but will watch it later. That one place is very prompt about putting them up.

Ok, Sophie totally won me over with her singing. I haven't laughed that hard at anything for this entire series!!! It was absolutely cruel for BB to make anyone ever sing that song and I remember feeling badly for Michelle in 4. But Sophie really gave it her all and Michelle was so sweet to her!

For as lame as it looks like it's going to be, the box task is a classic and always will be one of my favorites! Derek was hilarious in that task and I wish he would have come back for it. Makosi and Craig were not my favorites but they were both really entertaining.

Yes there's something really good about putting people in a box and making them talk through it! Typical of Makosi to try to stir up trouble (the second house). Of all the past houseguests to be stuck with poor Siavash had her and Craig!

Today Charlie did the synonym take against Brian Belo! Do you remember Brian in the diary room describing different names for women?! That guy has imagination! Can't wait to see it!

I didn't see Brian/8 series but I saw a clip of him doing that task somewhere and it was funny! Did you hear what Nikki said to Karly about Marcus when she was in the house today? They should cut his hair when he sleeps and she fast forwards through the Marcus/Noirin parts because they're so horrible!

Big Brother punished the HMs by taking away the furniture!
Reported at Inside Big Brother:

Big Brother punishes housemates

BB removes the fixtures and fittings

Day 43:
Big Brother has punished the housemates, after some of them protested yesterday by jumping onto the roof.

Yesterday, some of the housemates moaned about the lack of alcohol, cigarettes, food and parties.

Noirin, Marcus, Freddie and Charlie then held a protest by getting on top of the roof outside.

“This is Big Brother, for their own Health and Safety will all housemates come down from the roof immediately,” said BB.

“We want drink, more booze and parties,” shouted Halfwit.

Big Brother then got hard on the housemates by saying anyone still on the roof would possibly be removed from the house. This resulted in the revolters to jump back down, in a panic.

But the protest wasn’t over, as Marcus and Halfwit threw things into the swimming pool, including the bath. Some of the other housemates also held a silent protest.

As the housemates later went to bed, they were surprised that Big Brother had not punished them. But they were wrong…

Overnight, Big Brother removed all the fittings and furniture from the house.

This morning, the group awoke to find a sparsely furnished Living Room: all sofas, tables and comfy chairs had gone.

Big Brother left a note saying: “As Housemates are unable to respect the fixtures and fittings of the House, Big Brother has been left with no other decision than to remove them until further notice.”

That's funny. It must be quite a stress on BB when they're not allowed to go in and stop people but they're doing something stupid like that. Not that I ever have much sympathy for BB :-).

I can only take so much of Nikki, she's another one where it's hard not to like her, but at the same time you don't want too much of her! I guess we'll see that in today's show.

Apparently BBLB showed Lisa getting aggressive with Freddie after the electric shock game. And Rex said he told Marcus he was in with a chance with Noirin, which is just cruel if true!

An article about the four new housemates that could be complete rubbish:
http://www.theblueroom.me.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=24079&PN=1

They say they are "a sassy hippy-chick, a posh Indian lass, a loadsamoney yacht broker and a none-too-bright smalltown boy." It'd be great if Freddie found love with the "sassy hippy-chick!"

Inside Big Brother is reporting the same four new housemates listed above. IBB also reports that the HMs received tokens for participating in the shock task. They could exchange their tokens for a present (within reason):

"Charlie asked for just a burger, fries and fizzy drink. Karly’s request wasn’t too much either, as she asked for two packets of cigarettes.
Dogface was really missing her dogs and asked Big Brother if she could see them. Big Brother said that they were happy to organise it.
Halfwit chose to keep his token and to take it into the house to share with everyone else.
Rodrigo was missing his family and asked if he could speak to them. Big Brother denied this request, but said that they would organise a letter from home for him.
Siavash had the same request as Rodrigo, but BB once again denied him. He was given the opportunity to receive a letter, but instead Siavash opted for two bottles of wine, 19 cans of cider and a packet of crisps.
And perhaps the most shocking request was Marcus’s. He asked for either an electric guitar and an amplifier for an hour, or a date with Noirin.
It’s yet unknown whether Marcus has been granted his date by Big Brother. We’re not sure Noirin will be too happy!"

Siavash knows how to bargain! It seems Karly does not ;).

I bet BB will arrange a date with Noirin for Marcus, it'll be good for their stories. Shame as it's going to just create more tension. Unless Noirin wanted it too of course - but I doubt that!

if anyone has a currently working link to the live show streams and/or feeds please pm me.

The lack of a daytime live feed is really annoying when they have these kinds of tasks going on. Especially with the kind of information that has been leaked to the housemates. I can't help thinking it was all deliberately done to stir things up a bit in the house. The way Frederico brought it up just seemed to weird. BB probably told him to release that little bit of info.

PMed you, Flagg. The lack of live feed really is annoying, and them taking things off youtube so quickly. I know the Ch4 site has clips but they're few and far between. They seem intent on destroying their own audience.

Another moan of mine is that there's a lot going on this week but we're going to see even less than normal of it, because tomorrow's eviction and the eviction interview are meant to be in the first hour, leaving only half an hour or so for highlights. The second show is when they introduce the new housemates. We're going to have missed a lot.

Rodrigo is really annoying me. He is pretending to be little Mr. Good Guy but he is falling short because he doesn't pick his battles. Spraying each other with fire retardant is dangerous. He joined in that fun, but got angry over things that can't hurt anyone like the chair or spraying the windows. Even putting the mangle in the pool doesn't hurt anyone, just makes more work for BB staff. He is off my list of ones I like.

I like Freddie and Siavash

I might like Sophie, Charlie, Niorin and Marcus
They come and go for me

I do not like Rogrigo, Karly and Lisa

The new housemates could change the whole dynamic of the house.

Rodrigo only seems to have problems with things when he's upset about something else or he thinks he's going to get in trouble. He's like a tell tale little kid. I've gone right off him too.

My like-list is pretty much the same as yours. Freddie is number one then Siavash, Marcus, Sophie, Noirin, Charlie, Rodrigo, Karly and Lisa. Sometimes Rodrigo is above Charlie; sometimes Karly is below Lisa.

Freddie and Siavash singing in the bathroom was hilarious to me! They really know how to have fun and don't get freaked out about being on the block. Like Noirin. She's dropped on my list this week. Every time they show her she looks miserable then perks up and says I want to have fun....

Seems like Rodrigo's had a serious tantrum and during it he may have hit Charlie with a bottle - probably accidentally. He was called to the diary room, the others are saying his behaviour was "extreme" and Lisa said (so I'm reading) that he could get worse than a warning for it.

This is what a poster at DS said:
Charlie actually started it.

In bedroom he threw a blue glass of water on Rod.
What I could get from all the SD's was Charlie tell all he threw a small amount of oil on Rod then Rod got carried away & threw it at Charlie but most got on the bed.

As normal, Charlie is parnoid he is in trouble or in the wrong.

Didn't see the bottle thrown.....so I must have missed that on E4+1

Charlie does stuff.......but when its almost too late, he stops with his panic's. Rod didn't this time.


I guess we may or may not see what really happened tomorrow.

Trying to find out more about the above and found this... Ch4 have comfirmed FIVE housemates, not four!

* A jet-setting playboy
* A camp northerner
* A rugby playing Tory
* A bohemian who believes in Polyamory
* A Muslim fashion designer

The bohemian is so meant for Freddie!

Good to see new HMs going in, but FIVE is too many. They should keep it down to maybe 2 or 3 max.
I assume by "camp" they mean "homosexual"? At least that's what George inferred on the video on the official site.

Camp needn't necessarily be gay but in this case I think it is. It's a style that's over the top in a flamboyant way. Like we'd say some of those old horror movies were camp. Or the 70s glam bands were camp.

I agree five is a lot, it's like the current housemates haven't achieved anything, in terms of numbers.

I think Sophie and Noirin will be fighting over the playboy, which will kill Marcus.

Rodrigo and Charlie can fight over the northerner.

Freddie gets the bohemian, although the bohemian could go for Siavash too.

I wonder if the Muslim fashion designer is male or female... if it matches the "posh Indian lass" from before then I see Marcus and Siavash moving in, particularly if Noirin is otherwise engaged with the playboy.

I presume the "rugby playing Tory" is the "none-too-bright smalltown boy" so the camp northerner is the surprise. I wonder if he was added because of the Roddy-Charlie tension.

I'm looking forward to today!

Right, I know the basic definition of "camp" but wasn't sure if it's viewed the same way in the UK, as George said something about Charlie and this "camp northerner" possibly hooking up. Plus, pretty much any HM in the past that has been described as "camp" was gay. Craig, Shamal, Shahbaz, etc.

Anyway, as for the numbers, not only will it seem like they haven't made any progress but the social aspect is a bit different when they move in a large group en masse rather than putting in a couple new people that are forced to integrate themselves into the house. With that many new people they could form a completely new group and pretty much control the whole house and not even have to mix with the original housemates.

Yeah more or less the same as it means in the US; often, but not always gay.

I hope they don't form a new group, I hadn't thought of that. That would be bad. Hopefully there'll be some more "individuals" in there who will do their own things (and gravitate towards the ones I like!).

I hope they don't like Marcus and I hope one of the guys DOES like Noirin and she likes him. I'm tired of Marcus stalking her.

I take it from the posts we will be able to see today's shows or am I wrong?
