Not looking good apparently 

5.42pm: It's not looking good so far...

5.47pm: We might have spoken too soon. Gina looks like she may have been persuaded.

5.56pm: Gina has donned a rather fetching silver catsuit, but is still yet to leave the Diary Room. Has she changed her mind...?

6.01pm: At least he's ready....

6.08pm: Gina is in the garden. She's made it that far at least.

6.10pm: Gina has been strapped to the wheel... It's getting tense in the garden.

6.15pm: She did it! (Of course, the scary man didn't actually throw the knives. It was all a lie.)

6.30pm: Spirits are high in the House after Gina's act of bravery.

Can't wait to see this! 

Our nutty BB oddball. 

Does that mean they will finally get enough fags to smoke themselves into oblivion? I'm fed up of them going on about smokes.

7.49pm: The shopping list is proving difficult. Hazel is stressing about the lack of chocolate. #BBUKLIVE

It looks like your addiction is a problem

Day 21: this week's shopping task - the result!

"Bravery, courage and nerves of steel" were the characteristics Big Brother deemed necessary for the ultimate stage of the 5,4,3,2,1 shopping task which fell to the one housemate who had yet to get involved.

Despite Gina's protestations that she'd done her bit with "the four housemates and then... the lemons..." it was clear to one and all that she was up. To the rapturous chants of "Gina, Gina, Gina" she made her way to the Diary Room...
...where she stayed...
...for a really long time.

The source of her long stay was a sharp-edged revelation.  Gina was to get strapped to a rotating wheel while a knife thrower did his thing. Big Brother had provided a contract for her to sign and she went over it with a fine toothcomb.

Watching from a screen on the sofas the housemates howled with mirth.

"Endemol versus Gina Rio. I wanna see that lawsuit," said Dexter.
After an eternity Gina proved to be game. She donned a silver suit and went into the garden where the knife-thrower, face painted a menacing white, and his assistant lay in wait.

"The knife thrower is a professional... He's only missed once," said the assistant as Gina made a barnyard's worth of scared sounds.

She hopped up on the wheel anyway and, for the second time, found herself upside down and screaming in the name of task success.

And guess what? She passed the task for everyone, securing 60 per cent of the shopping budget and ending the two-day task. It might not have been one hundred per cent, but they're pretty chuffed nonetheless. Farewell, chickpeas.

From living in luxury to spinning close to the edge, Gina's BB experience has been a thrill ride.

Scared of silver 

Would you trust this man to throw a knife at you?

A lovely assistant

The housemates crowd round in excitement

Brilliant Xochikins! 

Can`t wait either, her DR dramatics should be a hoot     

Who goes to the Safe House? Vote now!

As you'll most likely have heard by now, there's no eviction this week. Instead, you have the power to choose two housemates to send to the Big Brother Safe House. From this unique vantage point the chosen duo will be able to see and hear everything their fellow housemates say and do. As they say, knowledge is power.

The big twist is, you have to vote for them as a pair…

Dexter and Gina are paired together as they received the most face-to-face nominations from their fellow housemates leaving Wolfy and Dan as our other dynamic duo. The remaining housemates will think the twosome have been evicted, which means they'll all be due a big shock in the coming days.

Big Brother just keeps on bringing the surprises. Have your say and vote for the two you want to see whisked to the Safe House.

11.38pm: Dan and Wolfy just had a "big gay and lesbian hug". "Let bygones be bygones," said Wolfy. #bbuklive

This is the 2nd task that Gina has surpassed what would be expected of her given her vt lifestyle story. After Dexter she's my fave atm

Why does Charlie feel the need to apologise to Wolfy. She had her reason for nominating her just as Wolfy had her reasons for nomming Dexter and Dan, has she apologised to them? if so I missed it, annoying woman!!!

three beds in the safe house!!

Will Sam ever speak up face to face with anyone in there despite his observations that he's said he's had about some hm's. He's lying too low so will probably get to the end, for contributing what?

I never understand him to be fair,I think he works better one to one .Sam nice guy but lousy HM ,he will fly under the radar to the final week.

Another thought about Hazel and Daley..Hasn't Daley said he has a gf? if so it's now crossed my mind that maybe Hazel is his gf?..all part of Secret and Lies lol?... but then my logical mind said anyone who knows them in rl will have spilt the beans to the trash rags. Maybe I'm catching Dan's paranoia

Night Erin

10.12am: Jackie is running around the garden pumping her arms in a morning rave workout stylee.

I don't buy Jackie's 'I'm really a young thing at heart' routine. I'm not saying a 59/60 year old can't still be 'young' it's just this 'in-your-face' way that Jackie does it that doesn't really ring true.

Day 22: The Animals Say the Funniest Things task

Wolfy talks to the animals but do they talk back? Big Brother's latest task is set to challenge her claims.

The House Doctor Doolittle announced, "Big Brother would like me to give you a masterclass on how to express your feeling to animals. Then you will be tested."

Using stuffed toys the housemates have to practise in the living room before heading out to the garden where they must tell their secrets to three friendly animals – Brian the emu, Mr Tops the rabbit and Margaret the oyster. These are actual real-life animals!

Once each housemate has shared a secret, Wolfy's real task will be revealed. She must speak to the three creatures and convince them to reveal the housemates secrets. For each she correctly learns, she will earn one reward.
