Day 12: This week's nominations announced
After three days of ruthless nominating, Secret Power Housemate Chris has made his fifth and final pick, determining who will be facing the public vote this Friday.
Marlon was the unlucky recipient of Chris' final swing of the nominations axe and joins Ash, Christopher, Steven, and Pauline on the chopping block. Completing the endangered sextet is Jale, courtesy of Pauline's killer nomination last week.
The voting lines are now open. Click here for all the details you need to evict
11.36am Oops, we jumped the gun there. They just found out the Power Housemate's reign has ended. The task'll start later.
Please vote him in again 
Christopher is a farmer
Day 13: This week's shopping task sends housemates down to the farm
Today, the Big Brother House became the Big Brother Farmhouse. And to earn their shopping budget this week, the housemates will all need to muck in.
Christopher, Jale and Marlon are the farmers, in charge of making sure the farm runs smoothly and turns a profit. As for everyone else? They're the animals.
The Big Brother farm boasts a few different kinds of livestock. Pauline, Steven, Kim, and Helen are pigs, while Ashleigh, Toya, Winston and Chris are cows, and Matthew, Mark, Danielle and Ash are chickens. Each 'animal' will need to work to make food to sell to Big Brother. The more they sell, the better their chances of winning a luxury shopping budget for this week.
But it won't be easy. Big Brother will be expecting quality farm-fresh goods, and plenty of them. The farmers will need to decide how hard to work their animals, and any animals who don't pull their weight might find themselves shipped off to the 'slaughter house'...
Will the housemates embrace the hearty farming lifestyle, or are they city slickers at heart? Come back later to find out how they're getting on.

Each 'animal' will need to work to make food to sell to Big Brother. The more they sell, the better their chances of winning a luxury shopping budget for this week.
But it won't be easy. Big Brother will be expecting quality farm-fresh goods, and plenty of them. The farmers will need to decide how hard to work their animals, and any animals who don't pull their weight might find themselves shipped off to the 'slaughter house'...
Will the housemates embrace the hearty farming lifestyle, or are they city slickers at heart? Come back later to find out how they're getting on.
The Housemates will be divided into different groups:
* Three Farmers : JALE, CHRISTOPHER & MARLON * Pigs * Cows * Chickens
The farmers are responsible for making sure that the farm is profitable by ensuring that the animals are making enough products to sell to Big Brother.
The animals will all wear very plain, basic navy boiler suits with a matching hat featuring animal accents (cow horns, chicken comb, pig ears) that are stamped with factory codes: P1G / C0W / CH1CK3N
The farmers will wear worker trousers, long sleeve shirts, wellies, waistcoats and flatcaps.
The animals will be kept separate in the day, in their own enclosures â chickens and pigs are in the Large Task Room and cows are free to graze in the Garden. Their sole purpose is to create produce for the farmer to sell and they must work hard to ensure that they are producing enough.
Throughout the task the farmers must make various decisions which will affect how much produce the animals will make, but these will come at a cost to the Housemates welfare.
The animals will each work in shifts:
SHIFT 1 â CHICKENS: The chickens must fill cartons of eggs. The chickens will be cooped up in battery cages next to each other. An egg shoot will be positioned to one side of the chickens. They must catch the eggs that roll down without breaking them and then pass them, mouth to mouth, along the line to the Farm assistant who will box them up. One complete carton of six counts as one unit for sale.
SHIFT 1â COWS: The cows will make whipped cream. They will use cream from the milking tub. The Cows will use a manual whisk to whip the cream which they will put onto plain cupcakes. While they are working, the Farmer will be asked to motivate them using a cattle prod. SHIFT 1 â PIGS: The pigs must make sausages. Two pigs will âminceâ meat with their feet (like squashing grapes) in a trough of raw mince meat and sausage filling. The other two pigs must collect the meat and use an electric sausage stuffer to make links of sausages. They pass the links of sausages to the Farm Assistant who will package them up â four links to one tray equals one unit.
Now of course, the Farmers must feed their animals. Food will be delivered to the Store Room in buckets labelled âcowsâ, âpigsâ and âchickensâ. The farmers must collect the food and then deliver it to the animals in their enclosures. The farmers will tip the food into the animalsâ troughs. Each animal has a different type of feed.
Cows get âCattle Feedâ; Pigs get âswillsâ and Chickens get âPellet Feed.â
After the animals have eaten, the chickens and Pigs will be allowed to get some fresh air in the Garden. They have pens in the garden to sit in as they are not allowed to roam free. While all the Animals are outside, Big Brother will deliver the Farmers a lovely delicious picnic for them to enjoy â right in the middle of the garden in front of all the miserable hungry animals who then have to get back to work..
SHIFT 2 â CHICKENS: The Chickens must make bottled pre-mixed cheese omelette. They will be given ostrich eggs with straws in them. They must suck up the egg liquid, gargle it/swish it in their mouth and then spit into a bowl for the farmer to collect. They must then nibble some stinky cheese and spit this into the mix. The farmer will collect this and funnel into cartons. SHIFT 2â COWS: The cows are connected to fake mechanical milkers in the garden and make butter and buttermilk by shaking cream in jars to separate them into two products. The cream is inside a tub above their heads so that it looks like the cream is coming from the cows. The farm assistant sieves off the milk into milk bottles and the butter into tubs. Two scoops of butter per tub equals one unit and one full bottle of milk equals one unit.
SHIFT 2 â PIGS: The Pigs must make onion and anchovy flavoured gourmet sausages â they will chew these flavourings and spit into the mix theyâre mixing with their feet.
Later, the farmers in the Diary Room select the three animals â (one from each group) that they feel havenât pulled their weight in work shifts â to send to the Meat Reclamation Factory.
In the Diary Room the Farmers are asked questions. Each animal must guess what the Farmers answered.
For every correct answer an animal gives he or she will receive money towards the profit. If they are incorrect, they will be squirted with âpigâs bloodâ will be squirted from a spout facing them in the middle of the table.
The animal with the most correct answers will win a meal for the rest of their animal group.
After a hard day on the farm the Farmers will be rewarded with a warm delicious dinner. The animals will be delivered their basic feeds again and protein shakes.
Finally, The cows and farmers will sleep in the regular Bedroom. The Pigs and Chickens will sleep in the Large Task Room. The pigs will be given pink blankets, pillows and camping mats. The chickens will be given burlap sheets, burlap pillows and camping mats.

There have been complaints and even a petition set up over the perceived bullying of Jale Karaturp in Big Brother 2014.
Both Pauline Bennett and Helen Wood have been accused of ganging up against Jale in the house.
Last night we saw Helen brand Jale a âslugâ in another clash between the two sides.
âIâm used to this s**t. Iâve been called non woman, all sortsâĶâ Jale reacted to Helenâs âslugâ slur. âLet them f**king think it, I couldnât give a s**t anymore, I just want to have fun.â
She added: âIf Iâm that f**king interesting let them talk about me.â
Fans of the show have now launched a petition demanding Big Brother to step in against the bullies.
Even Big Brotherâs Bit On The Side host Luisa Zissman last night admitted the the behaviour in the house reminded her of âplayground bullying.â
Several of our readers have also lashed out at both Pauline and Helen for their treatment of not only Jale but also Christopher Hall.
Shaun Joseph Mooney commented: âBullying should be punished because Helen is the worst for it not right to call someone a slug.â
And Mummy0208 agreed: âI think Helens immunity needs to be revoked because what she is doing to Jale is bullying, sheâs a filthy home wrecker with a even filthier mouth and I shall be reporting to Ofcom.â
Telly watchdog Ofcom has already seen over 200 complaints this series, with more than 100 alone prompted by Helenâs âStop s******g Jesusâ remark to Danielle in their argument on last week.

Tonight on Bit on the Side - 17th June 2014
It's Tuesday, and that can only mean one thing - the brilliant Emma Willis is back on BOTS! She'll be presiding over all the biggest Big Brother debates, with a top-notch panel to help her along. Top of the bill is Geordie lass and former CBB winner Charlotte Crosby. Mattresses of Borehamwood beware. Joining her is X Factor star Marcus Collins, and comedian/TV presenter Matt Richardson. Hurrah!
But wait! There's more. Dame Judi James will be on hand to analyse the housemates' behaviour and body language, plus tons of exclusive House action, a trip to the reality gallery and a thorough catch-up on all things Digital. Join us at 11pm tonight on Channel 5, and tweet along with the hashtag #BBBOTS.
Hereâs your latest daily recap of all the Big Brother 2014 highlights as Power housemate Chris R Wright delivers his final nomination.
Ash and Pauline discuss Ashâs recent nomination and Pauline tells him, âyouâre not going anywhereâ.
Matthew enters the diary room and talk to Big Brother about the on-going speculation surrounding the identity of the Power Housemate which he says is âridiculousâ. He says: âAll I actually I care about is that I donât want to be up for nominationâ. When asked by Big Brother who the Power Housemate is, he states: âIt might be Marlon but Iâm pretty sure itâs Chris.â
Danielle asks Winston if he has many fights and he answers: âI avoid fightsâ.
Chris enters the diary room and admits he feels, âslightly overwhelmed with guiltâ, about his position of Power Housemate and is asked who he wants to shortlist for his 5th and final nomination. He is told that he can name three housemates he is considering and they will each have to make a plea. He decides upon Danielle, Marlon and Mark. Big Brother asks him about his reason for his decisions and he says that with Danielle it would offer some balance into the nominations, same with Marlon but thinks itâs risky as he is one of the other Power Housemate suspects. Mark he names just to see how he will react. On the way that Steven and Ash reacted to their nominations, he said âTheyâve shown a side of them that isnât very nice.â.
Winston is called to the diary room where he is given a secret mission to tell some tall tales all ending with him vomiting. He tells these stories to Danielle, Christopher and Jale successfully.
Housemates are gathered to make their pleas. To avoid suspicion Chris is also required to stand up and make a plea as to why he should not face the public vote.
After the pleas have take place Chris goes to the toilet and speaks through an earpiece to Big Brother. He decides that Marlon is the housemate he wants to nominate. Outside in the lounge, Matthew remarks that one of the 4 could easily be the Power Housemate.
Later Marlonâs picture on the Housemate wall changes to reveal that he has been nominated much to the shock of the group.
Steven talks to Marlon about the speeches from the group and finds it suspicious that Chris referred to himself as an actor, he explains, âwhy even mention it? Why even plant that in our brainsâ. He also says that he thinks Chrisâ speech sounded, ârehearsedâ. Marlon says he is just pleased everyone has stopped thinking itâs him.
The Housemates talk about the latest nominations in the garden with Steven saying that he finds his nomination as a, âpersonal attackâ, he also observes that Danielle is, âin piecesâ. The secret Power Housemate, Chris, says: âIf it was a couple of days ago, I would have been more put out.â.
Steven tries to impress Kimberly in the kitchen with his impressive vocabulary. Kimberly observes: âThere is a difference between a nice vocabulary and being verbose.â
Ash, Winston and Matthew talk about the nominated Housemates pleas to avoid nomination and Matthew observes that Marlonâs was, âone of the worst responsesâ.
Christopher and Jale talk about possibility of Chris being the Power Housemate and Christopher admits he would still be his mate.
Chris, Christopher and Jale are in the garden and hear from outside of the perimeter someone shouting that Chris has the power. Chris denies this. He later tells Jale to use her best judgement about what she heard. She does later spill the beans to Ashleigh and Danielle.
Chris discusses with Big Brother what was shouted over the fence in the garden and who is most likely to leak it to the house.
Pauline has a 2 hour bath.
Chris and Toya have a disagreement He thinks she is speculating about the Power Housemate but she maintains that she isnât and is cross for him assuming to know what she means. Christopher says; âGet me out of this house seriously!â.
Winston tells Ash and Helen that they, âneed to spoonâ and warns them that their time is short as Ash might be leaving on Friday.
Steven at last admits his attraction to Kimberly saying, âI like you and I want to get to know you moreâ.
Helen and Mark talk about Kimberly and Steven in the toilet and Mark comments that she is, âsoundâ.
Big Brother 2014 airs tonight on Channel 5.

Day 13 Task: Housemates enter Big Brother's Farm
What do you get when you cross 15 housemates with cow, chicken and pig hats? Big Brotherâs Farm of course!
For this weekâs shopping task, the House is converted into a working farm where profit is the name of the game. Farmer Jale, Farmer Christopher and Farmer Marlon must ensure that their cows, chickens and pigs (otherwise known as their fellow housemates) are making enough products to sell to Big Brother in order to get their snouts on a luxury shopping budget...even if it comes at a detriment to the poor animals.
The day on the farm began with pigs Kimberly, Helen, Pauline and Steven mucking in to make some real banging bangers. Not one's to mince their words, Pauline and Kimberly did all they could to mince the meat with their trotters (Pauline going one dance step beyond, of course)...
...whislt Steven and Helen collected the meat to make the best sausages in town. Probably.
Cooped up in their battery cages, chickens Danielle, Mark, Matthew and Ash were tasked with catching eggs from the egg shoot before passing them, mouth to mouth, along the line to the Farm assistant. Some chickens were almost close enough to share a peck...
Cows Toya, Ashleigh, Winston and Christopher were the final herd to complete their shift for the day and, as expected, they really milked it. Cows had to whip up cream to pipe onto plain cupcakes, creating a batch of cakes that Mr Kipling would surely never be proud of.
After a hard day's work, the cows, chickens and pigs collected outdoors to dream up the wonders they could cook for their evening meal. Unfortunately for our livestock, their dreams didn't involve cattle feed, pellet feed or swill.
What could be on the agenda for tomorrow's day on the farm? Our housemates can only wonder...
The Power housemate has been revealed to the Big Brother 2014 house.
However it wasnât by Big Brother, who last night confirmed that they would not be announcing who the secret Power housemate had been this week.
While weâve known since last Friday that Chris R Wright has been calling the shots, the housemates have become a paranoia mess guessing who is behind this weekâs nominations.
But on tonightâs show, Chris, Christopher and Jale are in the garden and hear from outside of the perimeter someone shouting that Chris has the power.
Chris denies this (obvs) and later tells Jale to use her best judgement about what she heard.
However big mouth Jale just canât keep quiet and she does later spill the beans to Ashleigh and Danielle.
Meanwhile, Chris discusses with Big Brother what was shouted over the fence in the garden and who is most likely to leak it to the house.
Will the housemates believe whatâs been shouted over the wall? How will they react?
Big Brother 2014 airs tonight on Channel 5 at 10PM.

Day 13: Five reasons why being a farm animal is tough
Being a farm animal can be really, really difficult...
1. You don't have a say over breakfast, lunch or dinner options.
2. You have to find novel ways to get by.
3. It's the small things in life that can get you down...
4. Things can get dirty quite quickly...
5. But there's always time for sleep...until Farmer Chris wakes you up...
12.22am: Danielle has let on that Chris thinks everyone is boring. HMs are now concerned that he might urinate in the sink
12.27am: HMs not impressed with Chris now. Danielle says shyly "...don't tell him I told you
I think they mean slyly!!!
12.35am: Kimberly tells Steven she'll be upset if he goes. Do we detect love blossoming again
Everything you need to know about Day 13
Love was in the early morning air on Day 13 as Kimberly opened up to Danielle about her potential Watford beau, Steven. The night before there had been some heavy back-touching.
A few hours later the second shopping task started when the Big Brother House became the Big Brother Farmhouse. Christopher, Jale and Marlon became famers, while the other housemates were transformed into chickens, cows and pigs. Under the supervision of the farmers, each 'animal' had to make food up to the exacting standards of Big Brother in order to win themselves that all important luxury shopping budget.
For lunch Big Brother was kind enough to provide some nutritious swill, all washed down with lashings of slop.
The chickens then had to play an egg-cellent game of pass the egg using only their beaks. But the housemates got in to a bit of a scramble when they kept dropping them. Luckily the farmers didn't (om)let things boil over.
More fun on the farm included, a self-milking session:
And getting sprayed in the face while Chris laughed his head off:
Things took a much more serious turn when Toya took exception to something Matthew said. We're still not sure what it was.
Just to brighten the mood the chicken and pig housemates had to sleep on some straw, which Mark absolutely loved.
This week is shaping up to be a classic and it's only ruddy Wednesday.

TV watchdog Ofcom has confirmed it is now looking into the huge numbers of complaints, which are some of the biggest since the 2007 race row controversy.
It could see an investigation being launched into the show and broadcaster Channel 5.
Hundreds of fans have also signed petitions calling for Big Brother to step in against bullies Pauline Bennett and Helen Wood.
A spokesperson for Channel 5 wouldnât comment on the complaints but did confirm last night that both Pauline and Helen had been warned about their behaviour in the house over this past week.
Last night we saw a very stern Big Brother caution Helen after hauling her into the Diary Room.
