Afternoon velvet
Same here. I can`t stand either of them but for different reasons.

Day 39: Today's task is Scream Extreme!
2 mins ago
Big Brother couldn't let a special day like Friday the 13th go by without some kind of celebration.
For today's task, Big Brother is hoping that decibel levels will reach an unprecedented peak in the House as the gang will be encouraged to take part in a scream-off. One-by-one, they'll all file to the Diary Room where they'll be coaxed into howling, squealing and shrieking at the top of their lungs.
Housemates will be assisted in their efforts with items provided by Big Brother, intended to up their fear-factor and make them truly horrified.
Becky's already been through her screaming session and Adam's up next.
Ear-plugs at the ready â it's time for Scream Extreme!
OT: I don`t want to bump the thread to the top of the page so I`ll say thank you in here to Skylark, Baz, Dame and Sprouty for your birthday greetings to my Robert/Boab/Bobby 
2.56pm: Becky's been practicing her catwalk skills in the bathroom. Fierce.
3.07pm: Luke S and Conor are strutting around post-workout. You can smell the sweat from here.
3.17pm: Luke A's just finished his stint in the Diary Room and looks somewhat flushed.
3.20pm: We're in classic flatshare argument territory suddenly. Lauren and Shievonne bicker about tobacco and food rations.

4.10pm: Lauren's first encounter with an epilator didn't go too well.
Afternoon All 
I might have to mute the volume when they show the scream task lol. Looking forward to tonight but still not sure who I want to go, although Conor's ahead in my hopes as I've disliked him for weeks, Shiv's only really annoyed me this week...ok made my mind up, Conor to go 
Thanks for the updates LUTers
4.16pm: While Lauren experiments with hair removal, Ashleigh goes for a 'Woman In The Golden Mask' look.

5.32pm: Conor and Luke S are whistling the theme tune to ' The Great Escape'. Is this a hint?
Day 39: Gimme some skins
53 mins ago
Yet another set of housemates are fuming over a smoking-based disagreement.
Today saw our chums order their weekly shopping list â on a budget after they failed the Rules Are For Fools task â and the usual argument over tobacco rations broke out. It's such a regular occurrence by now, you could actually set your watch by it.
Once those cracks had superficially been papered over and everybody was as happy as they could be over the tobacco/cash designation, another situation arose that's thrown smokers Lauren and Adam into some discomfort.
Even though there's tobacco in the House, it's in Shievonne's pocket, and she's becoming slightly miffed that she's constantly being asked for it even though she's likely to be stressed this coming eviction night. Adding to this, there's a lack of rolling papers in the House, a fact which caused Adam and Lauren to rummage around under every conceivable surface for something to wrap their baccy in. These two elements combined when Becky and Scott joined Shievonne in the Smoking Area and listened in as she had a moan about the whole circumstance.
Things took a turn for the worse when Becky saw fit to use a soggy, stained paper that had been uncovered but deemed unfit for purpose and proceeded to roll a rather manky cigarette from it to pass the time. She chuckled with Shievonne as they suggested giving it to Lauren to see if she'd stoop to smoking it.
What started as a light-hearted jape turned sour when Lauren eventually came out to see what all the fuss was about. Lauren declined the offer of the grotty rollie, but from that tiny spark flared up an almighty scene in which the distribution of funds was brought into question and which caused Shievonne to fly off into a series of rants regarding the whole situation regarding the nicotine set-up.
As things stand, despite facing eviction tonight, Shievonne's forming plans to expose the smokers and is having quite a rant with Ashleigh about both Adam and Lauren's attitude on the issue. Lauren, the girl in the spotlight, is having a blub in the toilet.
If Shievonne stays tonight, expect this argument to keep on firing up without warning. It may even keep on keeping on even if she leaves, judging by the atmosphere in the House right now.
