10.26pm: #TheSitch has placed himself between the Prince and Danica. Strategic.
10.30pm: Lorenzo is enlightening Danica and Coleen on his definition of a "squid" meaning a cheesy, corny kinda guy
10.40pm: Some HMs are discussing cliques, and #TheSitch has interjected that if you don't have a clique, people might not trust you.
Day 11: Nobody does it better...than Big Brother
Wisdom went awry this afternoon as housemates were temporarily tricked by Jasmineâs mum. We know they all claimed to have had her pinned pretty much from the word go but all but four of them did let her furnish them with psychic predictions.
However some of the 'wise' elders do think they have the hang of the show and Coleen, Martin and Lorenzo spent a slightly sycophantic half hour chatting about it.
"I just love what Big Brother does," Martin said. "It's so on the ball. BB knows what is needed to stir it up."
Coleen agreed saying, "It's genius. It really is amazing." We know Col, but it never hurts to hear it from a fan.
Martin continued, "How the last task upset people I don't know. The only way this game beats you is if it upsets you."
Unfortunately Coleen had a weepy episode yesterday but managed to put this down to a "build up of emotions." Definitley no sign of a Loose Woman being beaten by BB there.
Rather than try and calm these troubled waters, Lorenzo poured a good heaped tablespoon of salt onto Coleenâs wounds saying, "There's a lot more pressure for you guys because you are in the entertainment industry. If you make a mistake in the house you could be unmarketable..."
Fortunately they were saved from any more awkward banter by the arrival of Julian. Big Brother was just beginning to enjoy the ego boost...
11.07pm: Ashley wants to go on a treasure hunt, to find the reason why Rhian is upset. Like, an emotional treasure hunt. Abstract.
11.18pm: Julie looks dead on her feet. Bedtime.
11.23pm: Danica just asked Harvey on...her flip flops. He likes them
11.56pm: Rhian is explaing to Coleen how to pronounce her name.
11.59pm: Samantha has let slip that she is rather good at massage. Coleen is suddenly very keen to be her friend
12.13am: Julian is moisturising. Is it that time already?
Day 11: Takeaway and party
After doing battle with Jasmine's mum and coming off better, Big Brother rewarded housemates with food and music.
Mystic Martin predicted it would be a takeaway for tea and hoped for a curry. A curry it was and with Coleen keen to educate housemates on the difference between Tikka and Korma, our 11 tucked in.
Good old BB cranked up the disco machine and treated the House to a selection of party tunes. Check out their moves...
Dancing was clearly not a suitable situation for The sitaution
Harvey and Samantha compared moves on the dance floor
Martin caught Danica's attention
You put your left arm in, your left arm out...
Rhian was dancing with her eyes closed
There aint no party like a celebrity party
12.29am: Julie and Julian are gossiping in the bedroom after lights out.
12.36am: Harvey is talking about being the first rapper to appear in a musical
12.41am: Danica has toddled off to bed, leaving Lorenzo and Harvey talkin' about musicals.
12.56am: Danica has been climbing over The Situation in the bedroom. She's back in her own bed now.
1.11am: The lads are out of bed and in the garden - Lorenzo, The Situation, Ashley and Harvey are having a man chat
Night all
I've never met a woman who knows how to play men like Danica does, she's in a class of her own.
Night Mrs. H thanks for all you've shared
Night MrsH
1.24am: The testosterone fuelled banter continues. The boys are getting fed up with the girls.
1.27am: Harvey says it is war. He's pitching The Sitch against Danica. Lorenzo says to be careful.
1.47am: Lorenzo says if Ashley and The Sitch nominate the girls because they won't kiss them, then they will look like fools.
1.54am: And so, we leave Lorenzo and Ashvey hanging out and chatting in the garden. See you tomorrow, guys.

Thanks Velvet, I was thinking earlier that the boys may nominate the girls, but then I saw the vid ^^^ where Danica and Mike seem to be enjoying each other's company - which will give him hope again so maybe he won't nom her. Maybe I'm being cynical but perhaps Danica went back to flirting with him so he doesn't nominate her.
Day 11: Lorenzo is the House's resident Dr Doolittle
Rhian's giraffe onesie never fails to amuse, and today Lorenzo was finally overcome with curiosity, and asked her why she chose the giraffe over all the other beasts in the Animal Kingdom. Rhian replied that, though she also has a grey seal onesie and a cat onesie, she feels that the giraffe is the most appropriate for her career.
We don't understand what she meant by that, and neither did Lorenzo.
Talk soon turned to other animals, with Rhian excitedly announcing to Lorenzo that a very rare dolphin had been found, that had excited scientists greatly. The dolphin in question is an albino dolphin. Animal lover Lorenzo was pretty interested too, and asked where on Earth this wonderful creature could be found. Helpfully, she replied "in the sea."
Lorenzo abandoned his line of questioning to tell Rhian about an albino crocodile he saw once, that looked like white chocolate, but whose red eyes were sad because it lived in an aquarium instead of roaming free. He does love those animals, does Lorenzo.
Back to the giraffe, Lorenzo thought Rhian would like to hear about when he met some some of the majestic creatures, and when he got to the bit about how they "eat the leaves, with their long blue tongues", Rhian was freaked out. She didn't know that they had blue tongues.
So, everybody wins - Rhian learned a fact about giraffes and Lorenzo got to do his favourite thing; talk about animals. Good times.
Day 11 round-up
The House awoke to a lack of crunch after Cheryl became the second housemate to be shown the door.
Julie dropped a clanger in the direction of Prince Lorenzo by saying she couldnât understand how Cheryl could have been evicted when she wasnât the one receiving the boos. The poor Prince canât get his head around why he appeared to receive animosity from the audience... Awkward.
Housemates worked off some tension in the gym before getting to know the latest addition to the House â psychic Shelley.
The mystic, who was in fact Jasmineâs mother, set about rocking the boat, under the instruction of Jas via a secret ear piece. The Mother Like Daughter task required Marilyn to convince housemates she was a genuine newbie.
She made a number of predictions, including telling Martin he too had the gift (we later found out she may not have been too far off the mark when he correctly guessed what housemates would have for dinner), making Samantha cry after telling her that her dog missed her and seeing swarms of girls in Ashleyâs future.
Our housemates are a suspicious bunch and the seeds of doubt took root early on. When Big Brother announced it had all been a task, they all claimed to have seen through Maz from the off. Clues included the fact she, 'wasnât a celebrity',
The prize for being such a bunch of clever clogs was dinner and dancing, both of which went down a storm.
The faux-mance/romances trundled on in the evening with Danica dividing her attentions between The Situation and the Prince, and Ashley having yet another episode of pillow talk with Rhian.
Housemates are fixated with nominations and as they hit the halfway point, the House still feels very full... Though not as full as their bellies after that curry - we're glad we're not sharing that bedroom.
8.29pm: The housemates are on peaceful form this morning. No snorers rocking the boat. Only gentle exhalations.
8.57am: These celebs are very static sleepers. Stiff as boards, the lot of them.
9.15am: The lights are on. Most are defying this development but Martin's brushing his teeth in sunglasses.
9.32am: Coleen and Sam are mulling over their breakfast options. Butter wasn't hauled back from the trolley dash. Dry toast anyone?
9.37am: Danica is telling The Prince that The Sitch told her last night that he gets jealous when she's with the royal one
9.52am: The Prince is venting - in a terribly well-mannered way - about the crossed romantic lines in the House. Julie's fed up
10.03am: Martin's got involved in the Prince's chat. He's saying that Danica is engaging in "Academy Award winning flirting".
10.21am: Ashley is mainlining an energy drink in the gym. Boy means business.
