Spot on Deana, worst eviction week this season

Nite peeps
10.28pm: Scott's considering a jaunt to Sardinia after his BB experience. That'll be nice.
Bloody hell! That's scary! I posted the Sardinian flag as my thread starter! (I'm on catch-up here obviously.) Nevertheless, Sardinia is brilliant and very underestimated as a Med island imo.
12.46am: Conor's reached the age of 25, by the way. 'I've reached half a century!' he says.
Thick as mince

Day 52: Round-up
Today was shopping list day, the day when the housemates tap into the most diplomatic aspects of their character and work together for an optimum food delivery. The gang had a luxury food budget to play with after passing the Party Animals task. It should all have gone so smoothly.
Obviously it didn't, but it should have done.
Before all that, there was a relatively happy mood in the House, despite the looming eviction. It was soon disturbed by a disputed sunbed space, but it was fun while it lasted.
Caroline, who was soon to become the focus of much of the House action, took some time out to remember evictee Chrisbefore she pondered the shopping budget. An ominous discussion on how to assign funds to the smokers came into play, with Luke S and Adam disagreeing over figures, may have lit the touch-paper for later events.
Before it could really ignite, Big Brother offered a task distraction. The whole House played a game of Personality Bingo, with Luke S eventually scooping victory by correctly guessing that his fellow housemates find him 'cheesy'. Cheesy and oniony - he's got a classic combination of odours there.
Fun. But soon the fun was to end as Caroline made a move that could either be considered incredibly amusing or incredibly foolish. Tasked with delivering the shopping list to Big Brother in the Diary Room, the girl from Surrey sabotaged the deal, investing only in sweeties, chocs and cakes. The fall-out was devastating. Even ex-bestie Scott was upset. He told her so in no uncertain terms.
The food situation left the House reeling and ended the day on rather a sour note. Only Luke S had reason to smile as hemunched his reward for the Personality Bingo task. But even he finished Day 52 in a bit of a sulk after a small confrontation with Luke A, even though he had a belly full of protein.
A tough day for our housemates, but tomorrow's only set to get tougher. Day 53 will see one of eight evicted - and goodness only knows which one.
Day 52: Seven days
Every day of the week in the Big Brother House has its own mood, as though they're each ruled by their own particular planet and subject to the sway of the heavens.
Monday's atmosphere is well-known â it's a day filled with sycophancy, poker-faces and looks of shame as our housemates file in to nominate one-by-one, hoping to remove themselves from the equation as they sweet-talk others into ignoring their past misdeeds. There's also rather a peculiar atmosphere in the House every Tuesday. The nominees have been announced so all the smalltalk preceding the noms is dropped, with the household reverting to their usual back-stabbery and bitching as though popularity's the last thing on their mind.
By Friday â the day someone's set to walk âour housemates go blank and spend the entire day getting ready for the big event.
They chill on Sunday.
But it's Thursday night that might be considered the most revealing. Those in the frame for eviction seem to forget that most of Friday night's eviction show is devoted to the kicking-out itself and they often act up in the hope of dominating the reduced highlights show as the final rush of votes come in. It's often the result of a desperate headrush on the part of those anxious they might get the boot. It often delivers eye-opening scenes of outright silliness that can make or break the housemate involved.
Earlier this series, we saw Arron disregard the rules of the Turf Wars task and divebomb the pool, deep in enemy territory before hulking out before our eyes, ripping off his standard issue vest to reveal a naughty slogan he'd written across his chest to demonstrate his fury at BB. It was a final hurrah from the Manchester lad. In his head, he might've thought it'd cause a rush of votes-to-save. In the event, he ended up with a bowlful of milky anchovies on his head shortly before Brian dragged him out the House. Strategically, it was a bit of a dud.
And now we have Caroline's Harry Blake-aping chocolate investment. The House has only confectionary to eat for the next seven days (unless BB shows some compassion for a diarrhea and zit-ridden bunch of housemates), and it's all down to the girl from Surrey. Was she purposefully tearing up the rulebook to try and show her wacky side? Or was this act of subterfuge an act of defiance. She heard the crowd chanting her name in a negative light on Friday, so it's quite possible she's intent on leaving the House in misery in her wake.
Who can tell. Caroline's a complex little lady, after all. But as these kinds of stunts go, Thursday always seems to be the day.
8.18am: Quite surprised Caroline managed to sleep after all that sugar but housemates are all still in the land of nod.
8.47am: The bedroom is pretty silent right now. Could the phantom snorer be pretending to sleep?
9.13am: Adam awoke, scratched his bum and appears to have nodded off again. That is all.
9.32am: They're awake. A birthday high five for Conor from Luke S. What will he make for breakfast?
9.41am: Conor has found a slice of ham in the fridge. That will go nicely with the breakfast chocolate bars.
9.58pm: Housemates haven't faced up to breakfast yet. In the meantime, the electrical appliances are on.
10.10am: Sara has put in the rollers and Deana has commandeered the straightners
