Week 2 round-up

Day 6 was the day housemates awoke to the Shirley Bassey hit, Big Spender which got Julie out of bed double-quick. It was a kinetic precursor to the Big Spender shopping task in which housemates were challenged to spend £1,000 in order to win a luxury budget. There were a number of highlights as HMs tried to spend as much imaginary money as they could. Harvey donned six Zentai suits. Samantha,  Jasmine, Prince Lorenzo and The Situation went to BB's 'Fun Fare' and the two Jules rode a white swan while Martin trashed a hotel room.

Task aside, Rhian, Ashley, Danica, The Situation and Harvey got to know one another better with some crazy sleeping arrangements, all climbing into one bed. Perhaps it was a bid to get some rest before the second leg of the shopping task.

After a late night, grumpy housemates were treated to a full English breakfast on Day 7 by the all-American Situation, an effort to get into the British way of life that was compounded by his attempt at a cockney accent. Elsewhere, Prince Lorenzo couldn't stop thinking about model Danica. She announced that he wouldn't be able to handle her which rather took the wind out of his sails. The Big Spenders task was reactivated, and some of our celeb housemates necked some revolting shots in the Shots Till You Drop challenge and, later, the elders dished out home truths in the Loose Change task. After all was said and done, they won a whopping £725 for this week's shopping budget. More was to come for the task – that money wasn't going to spend itself.

In the evening, The Situation confronted Coleen over a comment she made the night before. The reality TV star had got it into his head that she'd been making fun of him. It turned out that it was just a lost in translation situation. Translatlantic relations were slightly frayed come the end of Day 7.

In the wee small hours, as Day 8 loomed, a late-night trolley dash went off in high spirits, with Jasmine and Rhian bagging a bunch of tasty treats, but forgetting a few house essentials. Jasmine tackled Julie over some gossip Rhian blurted out on the trip to Morrisons. Then House thoughts turned to eviction chat – it was an eviction day after all - and Lorenzo kicked it off by predicting he'd be the next out. 

Gossip-wise, the matriarchal triangle formed between Rhian, Jasmine and Julie was a hot potato, with Rhian seeking advice from Harvey, and Ashley trying to get to the bottom of it all with Julie.

When the evening arrived, Brian announced Jasmine would be the first celebrity housemate out. The reactions were mixed as everyone came to terms with losing a housemate who has certainly had a lot of memorable moments. After a couple of awkward momentsbetween The Situation and Danica, the housemates drifted off to bed or chatted in small groups. 

A nom-bomb in the early hours of Day 9 caused some dramatic reactions and second-guessing. The House began to split into three, with the young, old and floater camps activating and dispersing. The Situation got sad about Danica and sad about being 

nominated. In the midst of all this, we asked for the real Samantha Brick to please stand upas this controversial individual had turned out to be a surprisingly tame housemate.

Then a task came along. Never a Rose Without A Prick involved housemates sending a bouquet of flowers to a person who then had to guess who the bouquet was from. They passed but the fall-out began even before the prize of a garden-based luxury tea could take place. Kindly Big Brother then doled out photos from home and Martin found some reactions hilarious. He chuckled less when the hot water was turned off as a punishment for nomination chat – cue some contrite words from a very sorry Ashley. 

The Ashley/Rhian romance was a hot topic of conversation on Day 10 but as the day rolled on eviction talk took over.

Big Brother hit housemates with the Majority Rules task. The housemates were asked to guess what their fellow celebs thought of them, based on a majority vote. If they guessed wrong, they were duly gunged.

As the eviction loomed closer, Brian announced that Julian and The Situation were safe, then Coleen. When it was revealed that Cheryl would be the second housemate evicted, even Prince Lorenzo was pretty surprised; he'd even made a plan for his eviction.

As the dust settled, talk returned to show-mance with Danica and Lorenzo headed towards a potential love triangle as the Ash and Rhi affair rumbled on.

It was a quieter house that greeted housemates on Day 11 as Cheryl’s departure started to sink in. The peace and quiet was to be short lived as the arrival of Shelley shook things up.

The ‘psychic’ who was in fact Jasmine’s mother Marilyn in disguise, got to work under the instruction of Jas via a secret ear piece. The Mother Like Daughter task required her to convince housemates she was a genuine newbie.

She made a number of predictions, including telling Martin he too had the gift and making Samantha cry after telling her that her dog missed her.

Our housemates are a suspicious bunch and when Big Brother announced it had all been a task, they claimed to have seen through Maz from the off. Clues included the fact she, 'wasn’t a celebrity',

The prize for being such a bunch of clever clogs was dinner and dancing which went down a storm.

Nominations shook the House on Day 12 but before BB broke the news housemates took their minds of things with some pampering from Danica and the usual game play chit-chat.

Danica, Rhian, The Situation and Samantha were named as this week’s possible evicteesand all responded to the news in their own way. 

Samantha shed a few tears over the news, The Situation decided he was clearly a strong candidate to win which was why he had scored the most votes and the glamour girls took it in their stride although Danica was pretty convinced she knew who was to blame for their nominations.

Julian rounded off the evening with an innuendo heavy bedtime story about his fellow housemates. Much as we would like it to have been his idea, it was infact a task. Housemates were suitably impressed with his efforts and BB rewarded him with a bit of quality time with his dogs.

The story was so good that housemates were ready to hit the hay much earlier than usual and started to bed down around 11.30pm. There were the usual bedtime shenanigans from the the youngsters and Coleen comforted Sam during  a little weeping session.

What a week. As the House prepares to become even lighter on housemates, how the next seven days will shape up is anyone's guess....
