Day 29: Round-up
Day 29 saw Turf Wars break out across the Big Brother House at the command of the ever-present BB.
After Day 28's post nominations rumble, the day began wearily with everyone a little confused about where they stand in the group. Sara was embarrassed about crying, Caroline didn't know who her friends were any more and everyone moped along (after a considerable lie-in), mentally preparing for the weekly shopping task, which didn't take long to arrive.
Housemates were commanded to join their best friend in the House to form a pair, which they did accordingly, little knowing that they'd soon be a House explicitly split in two, with one half of each pair separately going off to join the Blue Team or the Green Team. Various tasks would give housemates in the winning team dominion over different parts of the House, with the losing team plunged into the economy version of whatever that living space happened to be.
For control of the kitchen, the Trolley Dash saw the Blue Team face the Green Team in a tug-o-war with a difference. Competitors were harnessed together and had to push a trolley towards shopping items and bag up a win, one-on-one. The greens took the victory, with their prize being the exclusive use of a bright green kitchen, while the losers experienced their first taste of a more meagre budget. Preparations then began for the day's second task.
Sofa Hoppers involved housemates rating themselves according to different categories, from 'most keen to win' all the way to 'most annoying'. Shievonne headed up for the Blues, while Luke S stepped up for the Greens. The Blues took the prize and they now have sole access to the Living Area.
After the tasks, as housemates settled in for a quiet evening, the old divisions reared their heads, as The Insiders ranted in the bathroom (with hangers on), while The Outsiders locked down in the smoking area, joined by Becky.
Before bed, there was just time for a minor quibble between Deana and Becky, who had a low key falling out over Deana's vocalised body issues. While Becky let off steam in the Diary Room, Luke A, Lauren and Adam chatted in the garden and Deana had a soak to wash away another slightly awkward day in the Big Brother House. Turf Wars begin again tomorrow in earnest.
