Everything you need to know about launch night part two
about 12 hours ago
The final instalment of the Power Trip launch introduced us to not only six brand new housemates, but the almighty power that Pauline now possesses in the very palm of her hands. Letâs have a recap, it all happened so fast.
We learnt a lot about the original ten during their first day in the house. Many spent the first few hours getting to know each other. Steven, especially, wasted no time in asking Kimberly about her relationship status. Spoiler Alert - sheâs dating.
Matthew felt the sweet feeling of grass between his toes again as he was released from the comforts of the elevated perspex box. Not all of the housemates were too thrilled, with Helen letting slip that she was wary of Matthew and his eloquence.
Danielle became the first to shed a few tears, but don't worry, Mark was on hand to hug away her blues.
Toya, Chris, Ashleigh, Marlon, Ash and Jale each made their grand entrances, unaware of the all-seeing and all-hearing Pauline watching (and judging) from above. Chris even bagged himself a kiss on the cheek from Emma Willis. But the main event was yet to come...
In an almighty twist, Big Brother gave Pauline the power to grant a pass to the final for one lucky housemate, and after much deliberation, Helen bagged herself the golden ticket. Housemates cheered and Pauline reigned victorious...for now.
And as the night drew to a close, housemates celebrated with limbo, headstands and an attempt to form some sort of human pyramid.
1.39pm: It looks like Marlon wants to join Team GB, rather than Team BB.
Just two days into Big Brother 2014 and one housemate has already received a warning from bosses.
Helen Wood, who last night won a pass to the final, has been reprimanded by Big Brother in the Diary Room over something she had said in the house.
But Channel 5 REFUSE to reveal just what went on.
When Helen eventually returned to the house, she told the others: âItâs like being back at school.â
Meanwhile, Helen also went to the Diary Room yesterday to complain about the official profile shot making her look like a bloke.
According to the Daily Star newspaper, Helen demanded that show bosses switched the photo for a more âfeminine shotâ to avoid online rumours.
The headline grabber apparently feared being branded a transsexual by us viewers because of the photos.
She moaned: âI look like a man. I look like Michael Jackson.â
A show insider told the newspaper: âHelen was very angry and wanted to put a lid on this nonsense straight away. It canât be pleasant for her.â
And as if her day couldnât get worse, Helen then had to deal with another housemateâs wondering wee in the already dirty toilet.
Still, sheâs in the final!
Day 3: Ratings: Power Tripâs Second Launch Plummits
The second Launch night of Big Brother 2014 shed around half a million viewers in one night, with only an average of 1.6 million viewers.
It comes as a disappointing blow for the reality show which faired 500,000 viewers down on last yearâs Big Brother Secrets and Lies second live launch show, which lost just 20,000 viewers from itâs first show.
Last night viewers were treated to the continue of Housemate Paulineâs Power Trip after she chose Helen to recieve a free pass to the final of the series.
2.10pm: Today's task has just begun, hoorah.
Day 3: Paulineâs Power Pad
about 5 hours ago
Weâve already seen our mighty housemate Pauline using her newfound clout in the Control Room but next up sheâll be stepping into the... Power Pad.
Whatâs that, you ask? Well, itâs a special room for Pauline and a few select chums to enjoy. But that's not all, obviously. It also holds the housematesâ undelivered suitcases.
During the day, Big Brother will give Pauline access to the room twice. Once for a Power Lunch and another time for a Power Party - with no time for a Power Nap inbetween. Sheâll be allowed to invite three housemates for the earlier occasion and four later on. There ainât no party like a Jazzi P Power Party.
With suitcases on the menu, the housemates will be clambering for an invite.
Stay tuned to find out whoâll be joining Pauline for a pow-pow in the Power Pad.
Day 3 TASK: Crack the category
35 minutes ago
After two days of awkward hellos and getting to know one another, the housemates now have to grapple with their first group task. And, true to form, Big Brother has made it a cracker.
The housemates have been given six different categories (Fake, Manipulative, Obnoxious, Successful, Arrogant, Judgemental) and have to arrange themselves from âMostâ to âLeast.â Meanwhile, the all powerful Pauline watches from the Diary Room with the housemate she deemsâ to be the most perceptive.
Pauline has chosen Christopher to join her in the Diary Room where they can see the drama unfold but canât hear anything and they have to guess, from a choice of three, which category the housemates have been given.
If they are successful the housemates win ingredients to make a slap up meal.
Keep an eye on the website to see how they got on.
HOW IT WORKS
Pauline will choose a housemate to join her in the Diary Room. All other Housemates gather in the Garden where there are two signs, one saying âMostâ and the other âLeast.â
The Housemates in the Garden will be given a category and must arrange themselves into the order that they feel is correct, ranging from âMostâ to âLeastâ. There will also be 2 life size cut-outs of the Housemates who are in the Diary Room, who the House will also have to include within the line-up.
The Housemates in the Diary Room can see the others arranging themselves, but cannot hear what they are saying. They must then look at the final line-up and choose from three multiple choice answers as to which category they think the Housemates have been given.
If Housemates pass the task will win ingredients to make a nice meal.
CATEGORIES
1. Most to least Fake
2. Most to least Manipulative
3. Most to least Obnoxious
4. Most to least Successful
5. Most to least Arrogant
Most to least Judgemental
