Day 40: Since you, Shievonne, out of my head can't take it
Shievonne's been gone for thirteen hours and, as usual, some housemates are swifter with the moving on process than others.
Housemates rose to a horribly rainy day and carried on as normal. Conor immediately rustled up a protein shake in silent celebration at still being in the House. Adam, Lauren and Luke A began smoking preparations and everyone else began making their breakfast. But what of all the Shievonne talk?
Scott and Ashleigh were the first to discuss their recently evicted housemate, amidst a discussion of the wine-theft last night. "We need to get over things" said Scott, referring to both the alcohol disagreement and the loss of their mutual friend. Later on, Deana mentioned Shievonne, saying she'd rather she'd stayed, but the implication was very clear that this was mainly because Conor got to hang around instead.
Aside from that, Shievonne's exit wasn't really spoken of. Becky talked about life in the world of the drama student. Adam and Lauren talked hedgehogs and Sara looked slightly mystified as to what happened last night. Just your usual morning in the Big Brother House.
As they get back into their daily routine, it might seem to the passer-by that Shievonne's been all but instantly forgotten. But as we've seen with other evicted housemates, it takes time for an absence to make itself known. Give it a few hours and, despite the fact she made as many enemies as friends in the House, the loss of Shievonne will begin to make itself clear.
