Day 53: Caroline has been evicted!
She's out, she's been evicted and, no doubt, she's mooooortified about it.
Caroline Wharram was an unknown quantity when sheentered the House 52 nights ago. We all recognised her plummy tones which radiated obvious experience of a certain social strata, but on first impressions she seemed like a slightly dizzy and terribly charming young thing.
But first impressions don't usually count for too much, and after a couple of weeks Caroline's profile had rapidly soared - and not in an entirely positive way. She had a funny way with tackling Sundays and Monday mornings, ahead of nominations, and it rubbed certain housemates and a large chunk of the audience up the wrong way. Her tactic? Explicitly moan about housemates she had issues with, swiftly attempting to make amends with them by the time Monday evening and the nominations announcement had passed.
She was a self-confessed back-stabber who conceded that she'd turned into a "massive bitch", but her recognition of this failing did little to help her get past the grudges she'd amounted over time. All this negativity was compounded when she found herself with a formal-warning, and all whilst those chants begin to gain ground each eviction night.
But that's not the Caroline we'd like to remember. This was a complex character, so keen to admit her failings they pretty much spilled from her mouth at every single opportunity. Happily, when she wasn't focusing a sharp and waspish sense of humour at her fellow housemates, she was telling uproariously funny, self-deprecatory anecdotes that never failed to amuse.
Who can forget the tale of Caroline on her failed gap 'yah', in which she was voted the worst person in the entire world by her fellow travellers? Who could ever allow the memory of her demonstrating how to repel boys whilst tipping yoghurt over her face? And who can ever scrub from their memory the image of Caroline chasing after Conor during a workout explaining that it was an exact echo of how boys react to her at nightclubs? And that's not to mention those accounts of Bible Study Barbecues and Pudding Club...
Let's also remember her semi-heroic munching of fish eyesand general whininess when it came to tasks. If not her finest moments, they always offered us plenty to chuckle about.
A razor sharp wit then, whether it was pointed at herself or her fellow housemates, be they spoons, phone-hands or keen-os. But possibly a little too sharp for the public to take.
So that's Caroline. She came, she saw, she talked and she talked and she often forgot to switch that filter on. An entertaining housemate, for sure, and one to remember for years to come.
11:32pm Normal service has resumed in the BB House, Adam and Luke A are in the smoking area. They aren't sad Caroline has left
11:37pm Sara and Deana appear to be friends again after they had a brief falling out earlier this evening
11:43pm Luke S is being very quiet. His reaction from the public during tonight's live show seems to have affected him quite badly
11:50pm Becky on the other hand is being very loud this evening and seems in extremely good spirits
11:59pm Luke A is in the Diary Room talking to Big Brother. It looks like today has taken a lot out of him
12:09am Scott and Ashleigh are having one of those deep and meaningful discussions that only ever seem to happen in the bathroom
12.18am: Ashleigh's telling Scott to watch out for Adam. "He's counting the votes", she tells him.
12.20am: Luke S and Becky are discussing Luke A. 'He's sitting there so smug right now', Luke S says
they worried people reading that MrsH
12.28am: Scott talks to Ashleigh about Caroline. 'She's a different person to what I thought she was' he says.
they worried people reading that MrsH
they are worried justa - about time the smugness was wiped from them
nice to see you - I missed you popping in
12.33am: Scott's persuaded by Ashleigh to think of Caroline fondly. We've lost count of how many times she's said '100%'
12.38am: Becky says she's taking a vow of silence. 'I'm not talking to anyone tomorrow'
12.39am: Sara asks The Outsiders if she's naive. 'You miss some things' says Deana. 'We all do' says Luke A. All four agree
12.45am: Sara's pinching Luke A's cheeks and telling him he's 'very attractive'. At last some niceness!
12.49am: 'We got into this position because Lauren grassed the Blue Team' says Luke S. Remember you're being watched 24/7, Luke.
1.02am: Ashleigh's snacking in the kitchen
1.08am: Seven housemates are unpacking their unneeded packed suitcases and wondering aloud what tomorrow will bring
First chance I've had for a few hours to to pop back here. I was sooo pleased that Brian named my 3 faves as safe first before the results came in for the Insiders. Loved the looks of shock on their faces, justice for the Outsiders

a brilliant moment thanks for being a trooper- one of the soldiers, lol - for keeping the updates going, much appreciated
1.32am: While the housemate's unpack, Luke A's in the garden contemplating under a duvet.
thanks rose
1.35am: Becky's telling Conor that she's got a new gameplan and she's going to win.
We think she's being sarcastic.
Ppl saying we were too nice to Caroline:
@bbbots isnt an interrogation,its an interview.
She didnt commit a crime,she was bitchy on a TV show
1.45am: 'D'you think they know the public thinks their relationship's fake?' Luke A asks the other Outsiders.
'Yes' they reply
1.56am: Sara's going back over things Deana's said in the past. She's confused. It's not the most coherent line of questioning.
Day 53: Seeya later, Caroline
She came, she saw, she had her say. Now Carolineâs gone, the instant effect is disharmony. Thereâs a fair amount of resentment in the House right now.
When Caroline left the House to a rather rowdy, heckling crowd, she left behind a tiny ration of tobacco, a larder filled with chocolate and our two rival gangs divided as usual. As Day 53 winds down, the sniping looks like itâs not going to stop. The Insiders are inside, talking about Luke A and Adam in less than favourable terms and The Outsiders are outside, unsurprisingly, and theyâre talking to Sara like theyâve found themselves a new soldier. To the extent that Deana even jokingly asked if sheâd been demoted.
Saraâs usually the Floaterâs floater, or âInbetweenerâ as Adam puts it, refusing to get involved in any tittle-tattle and trying to remain everyoneâs pal. Tonight, however, after Caroline left, it seems that a rift has formed with The Insiders after Ashleigh sought to warn her against the smoking crew. Making a few unfounded claims, Ashleigh worried Sara to the extent she went on a mission to get to the truth. When sheâd finished her plain-speaking jaunt to the Smoking Area, after a short stint of Deana conversation that seemed to settle her mind, she wandered away as though sheâs found herself firmer friends than she thought she had.
In terms of the other Floaters, Becky was furious and Scott was confused. Our girl from Blackburn promised sheâd be on a vow of silence from now on, so disgusted was she by how the weekâs voting had gone. Scott, meanwhile, spent a good long while with Ashleigh being persuaded to think fondly of the departed Caroline. He didnât seem so sure, still reeling from her shopping sabotage and, as usual, he left the conversation up in the air, refusing to align with either side of the divide.
With Sara now looking to be more allied with The Outsiders and Becky pretty much bedded down in The Insider camp, it looks like Scott may play quite a pivotal role when Mondayâs nominations come around. Watch this space â and keep an eye on the well-spoken lad from Macclesfield as this one plays out.
2.04am: We'll leave Sara ranting at Deana in the middle of the night.
See you in the morning pals!
