12.27am: Julian and Julie are lightly mocking HAM as they lounge in bed for their midnight conflab.

12.40am: Coleen says that Julie is "proper not speaking to me". Oh dear. We predict a riot.

12.49am: The Situation's wandering around in the kitchen looking baffled and confused after someone told him he's in Hertfordshire.

1.01am: Julie's crawled back into Julian's bed. She looks like she needs a bit of security tonight

1.17am: They are all in bed. So tame.

1.32am: Ashley and Harvey are talking urgently as they lay in separate beds. Someone's snoring obscures their chatter

Can't wait to see you #cbbfans tomoz!

Week 3 round-up

Gods, Mortals and thwarted romance were the themes of Day 13. The latest shopping tasksaw Julie and Martin promoted to Olympus where they reined as Aphrodite and Zeus watching the remaining Mortal housemates through an all-seeing eye. The Trial of Resilience and Trial of Sacrifice respectively saw Harvey as Ares and Ashley as Poseidon rising up to join them.

As the Gods watched, down on Earth, the festering tension between Danica and The Situation exploded in a row that needed not one but two videos to do it justice. That the glamour girl was at that moment physically tethered to The Prince was telling. We diagnosed a love triangle. The royal spent the rest of the night making puppy eyes at the girl attached to him as a result of a task. If it wasn’t for that pesky outside boyfriend, ey?

The God/Mortal division made itself known from the crack of dawn on Day 14 as the all-seeing ones discussed in uncomplimentary tones the Earthly activity they’d witnessed the previous night. Danica and The Prince (‘Pranica’ if you will) were judged most sternly. 

As if they weren’t powerful enough, Big Brother handed the foursome The Voice of God and with it the power to move the Mortals physically around the House. Sam was enlisted as a mole and after deft thievery became the fifth god, Apollo, to enter Olympus. She arrived in time to cheer on Ashley and Harvey as they slayed gorgons for the final part of the Gods and Mortals task.

The task ended and the housemates were reunited. Danica and The Situation even made up so it should have been a harmonious time. Yet beneath the surface the infection started by the division and the argument continued to develop. Meanwhile nominated Rhian expressed homesickness.

Day 15 heralded in the third eviction yet calmness defined the mood, perhaps thanks to Sam and her negativity-zapping yoga class. The housemates spent their luxury shopping budget with minimal sniping and in the afternoon, Coleen was given the mini-task of gnome-sitting Norman the gnome. Harvey and Martin were given the mini-sabotage task ofgnome-napping Norman which they did with accomplished ease. As a punishment, Coleen had to stand by the pool in a gnome outfit with a rod. How we laughed.

Frivolity over, it was time for the main dish of the day, eviction. Danica, The Situation and Samantha were saved meaning that Rhian left the Celebrity Big Brother House. She took it rather well. The housemates breathed a sigh of relief on one breath then sharply intook on the next as face-to-face nominations were announced. Reactions were understandably emotional, particularly from Danica who’d survived only to immediately face jeopardy. Oh Big Brother, how you love to play.

There were 10 left in the House as Day 16 dawned. Coleen advocated chirpiness after a fair amount of drama had rocked the compound. Martin and Lorenzo had a natter about Harvey's reasons for his nominations, with The Prince still unable to wrap his head around the rapper's accusation that he'd overstepped the mark with Danica. On that note, Harvey and Danica had a heart-to-heart and seemed to patch things up.

Later on, The Situation was punished for fixing his nomination - but on a cheerier note the boys were set the challenge of interpreting quotes from the House via the medium of dance in Spandex Ballet. The footage of this one is completely worth a watch, so settle back and enjoy.

The challenge winners were treated to a champagne, canapé and classical music partyand, as the night came to a halt, Harvey played a cream prank on Danica. A delightful way to end a mainly upbeat day.

A double eviction was on the cards when Day 17 rolled around and we kicked the day off considering Julie's role in the House. While we did that, The Situation showed housemates how breakfast is done in the US of A. Two of our potential evictees had a gossip aboutLorenzo's affection for Miss Thrall, who got busy giving Ashley a pamper, while everyone discussed his Ashleyisms. There was an undeniably  nice mood in the House. Danica was even excited about the oncoming eviction.

Soon it was task time and Hot Topics gave Coleen the chance to display her daytime television skills. Hot potatoes were flung indiscriminately to the point that our friends passed the task and won a beauty product-filled hamper.

Three were in line for eviction. Two of them had to go and Coleen was sure she was one of them, but it was Samantha and Danica who got the drop leaving Coleen sitting pretty.Reactions were varied. The Situation pondered Danica's last words and couldn't stop going on about it. Julie, who heard boos from the crowd, told Julian that evictions were starting to get her down.

Day 18 arrived and the housemates were down to eight in number. Ashley and Harveychatted about the night's events, discussing Julie's boos and the loss of two more females. Lorenzo came up with an extravagant theory regarding the public's reaction to Julie and Martin chipped in on a chat regarding what caused Danica's downfall. On top of that, Coleen declared that enough was enough with Julie.

Later, Lorenzo enjoyed a rubdown and then the gang got so sleepy that BB was forced toshake up their snoozing. Then Big Brother got angry and nominations nattering meant punishment. Julie suffered a leopard-print ban while Lorenzo and The Situation had to suffer garish underpant-wearing for their sins. The Prince was summoned to chat with Julie, and words were exchanged.

Task time came around and The Acid Test involved letters from home for some of the housemates. Ashley's problem was that he had to melt half the missives in acid. Job done, it was time for letters from home. There were tears.

Then Big Brother announced a party and housemates partied like it was going out of fashion. When they'd done their dancing and their jigging and after Julie had gone to bed, a trio of our chums had a little chat about how Julie's getting on.

As housemates awoke on Day 19, Harvey related a strange dream he'd just experienced while Lorenzo and Martin pitched a fantastic new idea for the future of TV. It was one of those strange Sunday mornings. Housemates were well aware it was nominations day andColeen saw fit to have a moan about the process. Ashley was having a troubled time of it too. Poor little soul.

What better way for Martin and Lorenzo to distract themselves than with some toilet tittle tattle? Lorenzo was on an anecdotal roll as he related his enjoyment of a Stones concert he attended. He's so wild, that dude.

The Situation came good on his word later on, dyeing his hair a darker shade ready for the week ahead. Former enemies, Julie and Coleen nattered about their time in the House and, elsewhere, Ashley and Harvey talked Twitter. Another topic of conversation was Rhian and Danica, a mention of who provoked kind words to flow. Far kinder than before they were ejected, we ought to add.

It was a very chatty day. Julian wondered if he might be up for eviction. Lorenzo gossipedabout The Situation and why on earth people would want to tune into BB, while Martin discussed life after the House with Coleen. Julian even led a parlour game which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. But they couldn't blather on all day. A task was looming and soon arrived.

Taking The Plunge was a slightly humiliating affair for Martin and Lorenzo. Standing in the garden and split into teams, The Prince and The Kemp stood in thongs and bald caps as their pals stuck plungers to their naked flesh. Fantastic viewing for all (apart from the pair of them when they eventually get out). Lorenzo won and was given a big red button and pizza as an award. What a lucky Prince!

We played out the day thinking about Julie's step down in the House hierarchy, wondering all the while how the dynamic will continue to develop as we mosey into Week 4.

Frankly, with this lot, it's anyone's guess...

8.10am: Julie is up with the larks and chatting away to herself over a bowl of cereal

8.26am: Meanwhile, in the bedroom, everyone is asleep and someone is snoring... We think it may be Martin

8.36am: Julie is shuffling around the bedroom, whilst the other HMs slumber on

8.52pm: Julie is very patiently sitting on her bed, waiting for the others to wake up
