The more I see and hear Wolfy the less I like her.
Day 9: Gina and Sallie go head to head
Arguments, accusations, anxiety and annoyance filled our first nine days of Big Brother this summer. In the midst of all the hullaballoo, two candidates have earned themselves a place in the frame for eviction tonight. Step right up, Gina and Sallie.
It may have been their Day 2 blow-up that cemented their place in line for the chop. Taking an instant dislike to one another, the pair had to be separated so their cat-calls didn't deafen the rest of their cowering pals. Since then, they've grown closer than we might've expected â but this isn't really a team sport, so let's look at their individual performances and see what factors may spell the end for one of the twosome.
Gina
As first impressions go, Gina made a bit of a stinker. It didn't help that Sallie called her out (at the top of her voice), calling her all manner of nasty names on her first night in the House. She was an isolated 'it' girl for the next 24 hours, but a private dinner with Michael seemed to soften her. Our self-proclaimed spoiled girl even mucked in with the cooking and bed-making and finds herself growing close to most HMs, including Sallie. But not Michael. Things turn very quickly in there.
Sallie
Gina gave as good as she got when Sallie screamed at her on Day 2 but now they're pals because Gina actually likes the fact Ms Axl is blunt and in-your-face. Others aren't so keen on that personality trait, however, and her constant haranguing of People's Puppet Michael and his chum Dexter has seen her rain down dirty words on both their heads. That naughty way with language has turned a few voters against her â though others count it as a positive.
Both of our potential evictees have devotees and detractors. Two strong females who split the nation. It's our first eviction of the series, but it's far from straightforward. If you fancy having a say in how this one swings, get yourself over to the vote page. But be quick, for zero hour is almost upon us.
The more I see and hear Wolfy the less I like her.
I'm the same Erin, if she's so fragile she shouldn't be there.

she certainly thinks the public are on her side if you listen to ^^^that clip
Wolfy looks like Sophie.
Sallie Axl has become the first housemate to be evicted from Big Brother 2013 in tonightâs results.
Sallie had gone head to head with Gina Rio in the public vote this week after they were both nominated by the viewers at the weekend.
The girls had been joined up for eviction by Dexter Koh, who was saved on Wednesday when the lines were frozen and he had the fewest votes.
It was a tough result to call, with both Gina and Sallie favourites to leave at different points in the week, but tonight saw new Big Brother host Emma reveal the outcome, teasing: âThe viewers have spoken, your fate is sealed.â
The crowd were heard chanting âGet Sallie Outâ as Emma spoke to the house, but Sallie took the news rather positively and sprung out of the doors to a chorus of boos from the live audience at the studios in Elstree.
Speaking to Emma after her exit, Sallie revealed she and Gina had become pals despite their huge row on their first night together.
âSheâs lovely, I like her. At the beginning, I judged her wrong,â she said. âI totally judged her wrong, Iâm glad sheâs still because I liked her, I want Michael and Dexter out, the snake.â
Sallieâs exit comes just before the reveal of puppet Michael, which will follow on tonightâs live show.
BIG Brother host Rylan Clark is at the centre of a âfixâ scandal after it emerged he is a big pal of one of this yearâs housemates.
The Daily Star can exclusively reveal that the camp presenter, 25, is close to playboy Dexter Koh.
The pair were photographed together on a night out in London recently.
And they were even in touch with each other shortly before this yearâs Secrets And Lies series kicked off last week.
The news has raised questions over whether the 24-year-old celebrity promoter may be the subject of favouritism and positive editing during his time on the Channel 5 show.
A source said: âItâs a real shocker. Rylan has never spoken about this link to Dexter. Viewers will smell a rat over it.â
Dexter himself revealed his close link with Rylan during a conversation with other housemates. He boasted he had helped the gay singerâs rise to stardom when he appeared on The X Factor.
It appears that in his role as a âcelebrity promoterâ he has also acted as a paparazzo photographer.
And he claims he persuaded Rylan to pose for outrageous semi-nude photos to boost his profile in the media.
Their scheming clearly worked as Rylan became the most talked-about star on the ITV talent show.
Dexter let slip in the house: âI know Rylan. I did his first exclusive in X Factor. We got him stripping off that night.â
Following the shock revelation, it has also been discovered that the pair were in Twitter contact last January, shortly after Rylan won Celebrity Big Brother.
âItâs a real shocker. Rylan has never spoken about this link to Dexter. Viewers will smell a rat over it.â
<cite>A source</cite>
In one tweet, Big Brotherâs Bit On The Side presenter Rylan asks his friend to help find photos of himself which have appeared in a magazine.
In another, Dexter admitted that he did not watch Big Brother for pleasure.
He wrote: âI only watch it for work reasons.â
The close bond between the pair will give cause for concern.
Never in the history of the regular series of Big Brother has one of the showâs hosts had a direct connection with a housemate.
The news will almost certainly give rise to accusations that Dexterâs position in the house could be favoured, in terms of editing of the Big Brother shows and remarks made about him by other housemates.
Last night a spokeswoman for Rylan tried to play down the link, despite the fact that the pair have been photographed together and also tweet one another.
She said: âRylan doesnât know Dexter on a personal level.
âBut he was one of the paparazzi who followed the X Factor contestants during their time on the show.â
Week one summary.
Big Brother 2013: That moth told me about that twist
Detectives are being paid overtime to watch Big Brother.
The âcushiest job everâ is so Scotland Yard officers can monitor a former colleague taking part in the Channel 5 reality programme.
Dan Neal, 33, stunned Met bosses when he entered the Big Brother house last week. Until recently he was working on Operation Yewtree â the inquiry into Jimmy Savile and allegations of historic sex offences by other celebrities.
Senior officers raised fears that Mr Neal could compromise their highly sensitive investigation, prompting the programmeâs producers to agree to a five-minute delay on the âliveâ footage.
And detectives are mounting a costly round-the-clock operation to monitor the programme over the next two months, it has emerged.
Incredibly, the force is offering an inducement to watch Big Brother this weekend. Because they have been given less than 15 daysâ notice to work on a rostered rest day, officers will receive time-and-a-half overtime pay

Day 9: So who knew?
The House is still reeling from Sallie's departure but the conversation has been dominated by Big Brother's other bombshell â Michael's secret finally being exposed!
Housemates have raised a glass to the dearly departed queen of the beanie and as an afterthought congratulated Gina on staying put - but what they really want to do is discuss which of them had Michael pegged from the off.
Jackie wishes she'd gone with her instincts citing his "fake tears" as the big giveaway.
Wolfy says she was told about the twist by a bee in the garden. Damn bees, we had totally forgotten that they just can't keep secrets. Buzz off.
According to Joe, Dan the detective predicted the suitcases being returned â everyone's a mystic... But other housemates were less complimentary asking him why he didn't realise Michael was a fake when he wanted to wear a blazer tonight. Of course, the blazer. How did he miss that clue?
Callum and Charlie admit they didn't have the foggiest with the latter saying, "I didn't have the feeling. When I came into the House I said I wanted to stop using my mind so much."
In the garden the majority of the housemates agreed that they all loved each other very much. Cute moment or a bit of paranoia? We'll see. Dan is chief suspect in the case of the new Big Brother actor. How predictable do these guys think BB is?
For now it's still Charlie Travers' birthday and Jackie has some serious moves to bust out. Watch this space.
nite peeps
Day 9 round up: A birthday, an eviction and a puppet exposed
We often report that it was an exciting day in the Big Brother House, but Day 9 of the summer 2013 run really delivered. In fact, it's likely to go down in history as an absolute BB classic.
It was rather a tense start, what with the fallout from the Suggestions Box task and the Impolite Invitations challenge having rattled Wolfy and Daniel. Then there was Gina andSallie to consider, both of who faced an eviction in a matter of hours. With all that murkiness, Charlie was probably better off celebrating her birthday (many happy returns) with a lone game of Pass The Parcel. The fact she messed it up by getting a little impatient only added to the turbulent atmosphere.
After a number of different costume changes, Gina and Sallie were ready to face Emma. When the time came for one of them to walk, Sallie's name was in the frame and we lost our first housemate of the series. But there was more intrigue to follow and, after only a gasp, Michael left the House reeling as Emma revealed the dirty truth about your People's Puppet.
Within the perimeter of the Borehamwood bungalow, our housemates chattered endlesslyinto the night about deception, fraudulent friends, method acting and secrets and lies. It's not over yet, gang. We've the feeling Big Brother's not done with the deceit just yet...
First to go was everybody's favourite motormouth, Sallie Axl
Swiftly followed by the People's Puppet. What a fine job he did of messing with housemate's minds..
Morning all
and thanks Erin for covering last nights action

Grace Dent on TV: Big Brother â Secrets and Lies, Channel Five
A new series of Big Brother â the show that died on Channel 4 and was resurrected for Channel Five. At first I couldnât stomach the regeneration with its Flo Rida-scored high-speed montage sections and pubescent squawking cast. Yet, in 2013, I feel that Channel Five has found its feet, removing much of the fluff, farting about, bells and whistles, and returning to that old-school, gently creeping format. I do not want comedy montages of the new cast â Sallie, Gina, Michael etc â star-jumping on their beds to âLive While Weâre Youngâ by One Direction. We can watch pointless guff like that on Disney Channel. I want wry asides, caustic bickering and sideways glances, accompanied by Geordie Marcusâs voiceover, which takes my hand and pulls me from kitchen to garden to diary room. âSecrets and Liesâ is the theme this summer, ironically, as by week nine most series of Big Brother have the feel of a Palm dâOr-contending Mike Leigh movie â broken characters staring into space, chugging on the dog-end of an Embassy Red, mulling which shape of Tesco Value pasta to have for dinner.
âIâm Britainâs biggest sugar-daddy!â Dexter said in his introduction video, referring to the gangs of Mayfair nightclub lovelies he keeps afloat in shoes and diamonds. âOh, so you sleep with prostitutes?â asks a housemate. âNo I do not sleep with prostitutes,â he fumes. By episode four I rather liked him.
So yes, Big Brother: are you in? Will you be following this off-putting rabble who in time, as sure as eggs is eggs, will mellow and reduce into compelling living soap opera? Or are you out, rejecting Big Brother and planning instead to spend the summer months searching for its mention on internet TV sections before typing anonymous pithy remarks about how culturally superior you are from your lofty moral vantage point of âweary-making comment-box knobâ? You decide.
On the basis of week one, I am passionately in. Big Brotherâs first âSecret and Liesâ sucker punch was the addition of housemate Michael, an affable, flush-cheeked, wholesome postman from Munster, Ireland. But Michael is actually an actor. Heâs a mole â the Peopleâs Puppet â quietly setting about sabotaging tasks and pouring oil on troubled waters. What should be a lesson in subterfuge and double-dealing has been, in truth, a rollercoaster ride featuring a man with only amateur acting skills, winging it, crapping himself and being sussed as a mole on the first night. Luckily for Michael his cover was blown by Sallie Axl, a âbisexual glamour modelâ who entered the house virtually nude aside from a beanie hat and some ice-wash denim dungaree shorts (no shirt, no bra), before spending the evening rabidly telling anyone who would listen how ârealâ she was. Real is a big obsession with Sallie. Perhaps she is often mistaken for a hologram or cyborg.
There is a performance-art aspect to the current crop of 20-something, Tumblr-style glamour girls who take all the basic tenets of Sam Foxâs glamour model (tits, white teeth, the classic thumb tugging oneâs belt-loop, lip-licking pose) and mix them with a big scoop of Eighties Camden tourist-friendly punk (tattoos, requisite Sid Snot sneer) and a large ladle of naff Nineties Limp Bizkit fan.
Sallieâs skin is plastered with half thought-out tattoos commemorating events in her relatively short life. Sallie was the first person to remark that Michael was probably being controlled by Big Brother but everyone ignored her because she has yet to grasp the life lesson, âdress like a clown, get treated like oneâ. No woman has ever been taken remotely seriously in dungaree shorts with nipples out and bum-cheeks showing, a neon beanie hat, and smothered in a can of Ambre Solaire no-streaks bronze.
My favourite contestant right now is Sophie, cast as a sort of more erudite, wealthier Jade Goody, although I suspect when things settle she will be much more than this. Sophie is a dental nurse but hates working, her dad owns a scrap yard and she can drive a fork-lift truck. She is sweet, ballsy and likes to smooth over situations with empathy and kindness and by sticking the kettle on. Right now she is my spirit-animal within the house, the rough diamond trying to keep her head down. And thatâs the best tactic for the first three weeks in Big Brother. Trust me â I donât like to brag â but Iâm an expert.

10:29am: We get the feeling Dexter doesn't like mornings.
12:16pm: Jackie wants to make a rota for the bathroom cleaning. Good luck with that, Travers, with no paper & pens
12:23pm: Jackie is teaching Joe how to clean a toilet properly
Playing favourites: what our housemates' fave past BB personalities say about them
These days it'd be pretty unusual for someone to enter the Big Brother House without at least having watched a few hundred hours of the show throughout its history, so it goes without saying that they have their favourites. We asked them before they entered the House, and now we're going to get analytical...
Both Sophie and the twins picked a fave that they can relate to. While Sophie picked Rylan, the twins both picked Josie Gibson, and it just so happened that the three of them identify closest with their faves. We can see where they're coming from, too: the similarities are uncanny.
Of course, some choices come a little out of the left-field. Like Dexter picking Jade Goody. We'd have had him pegged as an admirer of a consummate game-player like Victor Ebuwa or a classy sort like Jade's contemporary Alex 'suave-pants' Sibley. But we suppose, with Dexter's personal interest in the media, Jade's rollercoaster public life could explain this choice.
Big characters are, of course, big news in Big Brother, so it's no surprise that this year's official most unique housemate (as decided by the public in our exclusive poll) Wolfy picked Pete Burns as her fave. She picked another Pete, BB7's Pete Bennett, as the housemate she's most like, on the strength of their shared passion for chatting to butterflies.
Who's your favourite past housemate, and why?
2:12pm: Housemates have been locked in the bedroom. Hmm, that normally means there's a task afoot
14:22pm: Callum is giving Hazel a little back rub, right next to the object of his affections, Charlie.
Thanks for all the video clips and updates.
Thanks for all the video clips and updates.
Day 10: Remember Remember, it's time for a task
The housemates are currently milling around, a little bit bored, and more than once, they've said "ooh maybe Big Brother'll give us a task today" and, well, they're right. Shortly, housemates will be told that they are being set a day-long memory test.
They'll be told they will have to answer a bunch of questions at the end of the day, relating to the day's activities, and then left to their own devices.
Big Brother will then unleash a slew of odd and surreal events and occurrences to bemuse them. Housemates will think that it is these bizarre interruptions that they need to remember, but of course it isn't that simple.
In actual fact, the test they face at the end of the day, in two teams of seven, will be entirely conducted of questions about the banal activities of the housemates throughout the day. So instead of being asked "what was the name of the seagull that appeared in the treehouse?" they're more likely to be asked "how many cups of tea has Sophie made today?"
The team who answer the most questions right, despite all the red herrings, will win a treat. Make sure to check back here later for video coverage of this bamboozling task.
3:26pm: The HMs are having fun looking at all the props BB has put in the House for the #BBtask. Shame they're all red herrings..
3:27pm: BB is playing bogus train announcements, and we're very much enjoying the HMs' faces as they try to memorise them.
3:32pm: The HMs have fallen for the Remember Remember #BBtask hook, line and sinker. Great stuff.
I like this task
Cheers for the updates MrsH

"Dan, Hazel and Sophie are discussing the Impolite Invitations task. They still think those choices were Michael's own... "
Good Heavens! They're still to thick to have grasped it properly.
Sallie Axl â@sallieaxl 21m I'd rather shit in my hand and clap than be a fake moron . Love being out Wolfy to win
Day 10: Post eviction joy
No one could've guessed the effervescent atmosphere that was to fill the House after Sallie's departure. The evidence is clear after last nightâs antics as things get hot in the kitchen and Wolfy opens up to Sophie.
