Day 4: Up with the larks

We were shocked today to see that Coleen, Samantha and Jasmine were up and chatting at 8:20am, an unprecedented early morning, even for early riser Julie.

But what were they talking about, we hear you cry. Oh, don’t play dumb, they were talking about the huge face to face nomination drama last night. Well, whispering. Well, Sam and Coleen whispered, while Jasmine cackled and Julie, who soon joined them, seemed to be using her outdoors voice. The other housemates largely stayed asleep, miraculously. Probably tired out after last night’s high tension.

The second the lights were on, Jasmine rushed to the smoking area alone without her microphone, leaving the rest of the housemates to, well, talk about her. Naturally. More of that particular topic later...

10.54am: Lorenzo is describing a dessert he likes, and Cheryl has called it a "fruity tarty squeeze up" Sounds...delicious? 

Jasmine decides to take her frustration out on an unsuspecting Danica. Julian and Harvey think she has gone a step too far.

11.06am: Samantha has invited Harvey to her farm in France. Where's our invite, La Brick?

10.18am: Ashley is telling a very animated story about judo. He's quite the raconteur

11.27am: Danica and Cheryl are singing Mysterious Girl. We estimate they know 40% of the lyrics. Good going

BB has a very exciting task for our HMs today. Stay tuned to find out more..... #cbb #cbbtalent

11.36am: Coleen's been calling Martin 'Steve' too! It's not just us! Like we said, a very memorable performance there

11.52am: BB has called Julie and Julian to the DR... to tell them their task for the day! Details will be revealed soon... 

1158am: While the #Jules ready themselves for the #cbbtalent task, Jasmine is buffing the dry skin on Ashley's foot. 

12.15pm: The task is ON! #cbbtalent read all about it

Day 4: Talent Agents task

Our celebrity housemates are all stars in their own right, but today's task will see them face talent show judges in an attempt to prove themselves.

Big Brother has called Julian and Julie to the Diary Room, where they have become talent agents, and been given business suits, sunglasses, and gold accessories. 

Julian and Julie will pick teams and take them to the ‘audition room’ for the first round of auditions...

Round One: Auditions
The other Housemates must perform one by one for the two talent agents (being all judgey), showcasing the talents they are known for, with no props, backing tracks or costumes. True talent needs no gimmicks, and we expect to be in the presence of some dazzling performances.

Second Stage: Agent’s Houses
The housemates will visit their agent's house in St. Tropez (or a carefully dressed set within the House) with lavish decor.  The Agents will then each choose the one act they are taking through to the final performance.

The Performance
After the two most talented housemates have performed, these performances will be uploaded onto the Big Brother website. The stupendously exciting thing, is that the public will vote to decide the winner. Exciting stuff.

VIP Party
What's fame without a party? The winner will receive the ultimate VIP party for themselves, their agent and the rest of their team.

Fabulous, darling.

12.16pm: Julian is reading out the instructions for the #cbbtalent task. He's a natural. 

12.17pm: Singers can sing Spandau Ballet songs!

We may well see Martin do GOLD! (golllld) #alwaysbelieveinyoursoul #cbbtalent 

12.18pm: Julian has chosen Cheryl, and Julie has chosen Harvey (and his todger, and his verrucas)

Day 4: Jasmine takes no prisoners

12.21pm: Julian has picked Rhian and Ashley, and Julie has picked Coleen and The Situation

12.23pm: Julian has picked Martin, because he can sing and act and has lovely teeth, Julie has picked Danica.

12.25pm: Julian has picked Jasmine, and Julie gets Samantha on board.

Prince Lorenzo is taking rejection well.

12.27pm: Poor #lonelyprince Lorenzo has joined Julian's team.   

He doesn't look worried at his perceived lack of talent.

12.35pm: The HMs are having a break before they enter the Audition Room.

There is much discussion of talent. Dahling

12.42pm: Cheryl isn't even telling Julian, her talent agent, what her talent will be. She's so mysterious...

12.51pm: Julian & Julie are in the Audition Room mulling over the rules of the game. The HMs are getting ready. #cbbtalent 

12.58pm: Looks like we might be in for some burlesque from Rhian

1.00pm: Lorenzo just dropped a TRUTH BOMB: the almond is a FRUIT. He just officially blew our minds.

1.06pm: Ashley is up first. We really wanna see some judo.

1.07pm: it seems that Ashley is doing a performance art piece on his judo journey. Like we said, he's a raconteur.

1.08pm: The #Jules are impressed by Ashley's performance judo prowess. And so are we, frankly.

1.10pm: "It's similar to my own story in man ways" says Julian of Ash's story. Really, Julian? Really? OK. 

1.16pm: Don't act like you're not impressed... #cbbtalent #cbb #judo

1.21pm: Cheryl is going to do a one-woman play. The #Jules are intrigued.

1.22pm: Cheryl's one-woman play is over. Julian thinks she should take it to Edinburgh Festival.

1.28pm: The #Jules seem bemused by Cheryl's one-woman play. We are, too, a bit..

1.29pm: Coleen's up next, and she's going to be singing I'm in the Mood for Dancing.

1.32pm: Coleen's really belting this out, even though she only did backing vocals on the original.

1.34pm: The #Jules think Coleen is very talented, and brave to sing alone. Raw talent, apparently

1.39pm: BB is giving the #Jules a little break from their gruelling judging duties.
