Day 6 round-up: Shop 'til you drop
3 hours ago
Mornin'. Welcome to another day in paradise.
After the pandemonium of the previous day's (literal) multi-tasking, the housemates had a much-deserved lie in. But not for long.
It was time to jump straight into more tasks, much to everyone's mutual joy.
Yes, the Against All Odds task was still in full swing and, if the housemates thought they got down and dirty yesterday, they hadn't accounted for what BB had in store for them next.
The game in question was True or Falls, a test of general housemate knowledge, and if they got the answers wrong, general gunging.
Paula and Heidi took the helm, answering questions, with housemates suspended on a chair awaiting their doom - a vat of unidentified pink stuff.
Thanks to Paula and Heidi's skills, most of the HMs were left high and dry, but eventually Gillian was tipped headfirst into the pink.
The tasks continued throughout the day once again, eventually reaching a climax with Big Brotherâs Big Vendor.
This was the accumulation of all their hard work over the past couple of days and the opportunity to see if they had got enough points to tip the odds into their favour.
As Sam tentatively took to the big button of destiny, the housemates emerged victorious, winning a lovely luxury shopping budget.
With the task out the way, it was time to do what celebrities do best â shop! After an inevitable bit of hoo-ha, the housemates got together their mammoth list in just under the 45 minute limit.
Claire was on adding-up duty, with Rylan eventually delivering the trusty BB blackboard to the Diary Room with a few of his own personal touches.
When the caboodle eventually arrived, not everyone was happy with the luxury bundle â with Tricia in particular getting a bit emotional over the chocolate choices.
As the evening wound down though, equilibrium was stored once again, as BB provided a party favour in the shape of a super booty of drinks for the gang to enjoy.
The housemates were in high spirits with various film impressions, accent impersonations, "Iâm so pleased that I met you, man"s and general tomfoolery.
Hey, they work hard, they play hard. But with the first eviction looming, are the fun and games about to end?
Morning all
7.30am: Housemates are sleeping which, let's face it, was inevitable. Razor's snores are very moany this morning
7.44am: Sam has just used the toilet. Repeat: Sam has just used the toilet. He returns to his bed, seemingly pleased with how it went.
8.09am: Razor's stopped snoring. Should we be concerned?
8.19am: Update - Razor has resumed snoring. Emergency procedures halted
8.33am: The sleeping action is relentless in the bedroom at the moment. It's a wall-to-wall slumber-fest
8.54am: Spencer's whispering to Heidi which seems to be part of their morning routine
9.07am: Paula's sleeping in a bandana. We're thinking of rocking that look when we hit the land of nod later on
9.15am: It sounded like Speidi were talking about UCAS, but we're sure the entry system to higher education isn't on their agenda.
9.22am: The lights are on and Heidi's already got the kettle boiling. Anyone fancy a brew?
9.35am: Razor and Frankie are up and about. Razor's complaining about the size of his bed. Better than the basement, surely.
9.44am: Spencer is worried that the basement has gone to waste. He really is attached to that place.
10.00am: Frankie's got the frying pan going. Time for a fry up? Razor loiters like a lion stalking a gazelle
10.05am: Frankie is treating Paula to a fry-up. That man knows how to treat a lady
10.20am: Fellow nominees, Speidi, are also enjoying a leisurely breakfast of egg on toast.
10.32am: We have a lost in translation moment - Razor is explaining the word 'barnet' to Spencer
10.44am: Rylan, Frankie and Razor are having some man time in the bathroom
Day 7: Eviction night - three face the flick
5 mins ago
After seven eventful days in the House we find ourselves not so far away from the first eviction night of the series. Tonight's the night we boot either Frankie, Paula or Speidi out of the House for good, cutting the headcount and taking a hefty step towards the finishing line. When the first eviction opf any series rolls around you know the game's really begun.
It's been a funny few days, comparatively. By now we've usually seen at least one blazing row or, if housemates can't manage that, an individual ostracised for being too loud, eccentric or argumentative. No such craziness this series. Instead, where the likes of Paula might've been singled out for being to different or where Speidi might've become instant villains, the rest of the group have embraced them for all their faults and quirks. This is an extremely civil House so far and it wasn't until nominations that we learned who was bottom of the pile in the popularity stakes.
Let's take a look at who's in line for the boot, how they've reacted and how they came to be there. Starting with...
Frankie Dettori
The diminutive jockey selflessly sacrificed his safety during the basement task in order to get his fellow basement boys a break. Sticking himself up for nomination, he appeared to make the decision based on a certain degree of assurance regarding his own celebrity standing. It's true to say he's probably more of a household name than Sam or Razor, but will fame alone keep Frankie in the game? There's a kind of blasÃĐ acceptance that the audience are going to vote to save Frankie, but is his being a chirpy, grinning funster enough to guarantee him more time in the House? It's certainly not set in stone.
Paula Hamilton
Unfortunately, Paula's made a bit of a name for herself for being a tad demanding. She admits herself that she had a mini-meltdown after the impact of being nominated by four housemates hit her, full force. She's certainly one of the more quirky amongst this latest batch of HMs, but she's also fully accepted by the gang, which is heart-warming to see. Outside of that, the audience are split into two tribes. Some have had enough of Paula's slightly diva-like behaviour where others are pleased to see a strong woman who's unashamed of her individuality.
Speidi
Our controversial couple seem surprised by how much they've been accepted by the rest of the group and it's actually been quite delightful to see. Thinking they'd made an enemy of Rylan, when they eventually met in the upstairs House the trio got on like a house on fire. Refusing to participate in a task or two, they were startled to find they had the backing of all their housemates. Indeed, the audience seem to have changed their take on the couple from The Hills. On launch night we could barely spot a single Speidi fan. A week in and that's changed â and it's been fascinating seeing that their relationship's much healthier than the press make out. We'll have to wait to see to what degree they've swivelled opinion.
11.02am: Sam is affectionately talking about his hometown. Rylan is listening intently, or at least pretending to.
11.12am: Heidi is appreciating the burst of sunshine in the garden "I'll never take sun for granted ever again" she shouts
Originally Posted by erinp:

I don't think she was doing an impression, simply being herself.
11.25am: Lacey's bombshell of the day (You may want to sit down for this one)... "I love dresses and shoes".
11.35pm: Ryan's skipping with a skipping rope in the garden. Frankie sits and watches intently as though it's a spectator sport.
11.48am: Lacey and Sam complain that BB's not allowing them to look their best. What did they expect, an in-House salon?
12.00pm: Heidi thinks Paula's psychic after their gunge-guessing experience yesterday
12.10pm: Speidi are talking together. They think Paula's way too entertaining to be evicted tonight
12.22pm: Rylan's concerned about the location of his toothbrush - an issue we're all forced to ponder at some point in our lives
12.42pm: Rylan appears to have come as some kind of woodland mammal. Cute or frightening?
12.56pm: Frankie is getting edgy over the selection of fizzy drinks on the shopping list
1.11pm: Sam's getting all nostalgic about family seaside holidays. Tricia raves about Blackpool in return. What's wrong with Elstree?
Day 7: Pre-eviction contentedness
24 mins ago
The mood in the House is pretty relaxed today, which is surprising considering one of the housemates is getting booted out of the front doors this very evening. They started with a leisurely breakfast, with potential evictee Frankie at the helm (if you were wondering, yes he does make a fantastic looking fry-up), followed by a pampering session in the bedroom. Relaxed to the chillmax â these guys aren't going to let something as small as an eviction ruin their day.
Are these coolest cucumbers we've ever had in the House or are there simmering tensions lying beneath? If it's the latter, they're doing a pretty good job of covering it up...
Speidi, for one, are very confident about their prospects, telling the others that they are preparing themselves to stay in the House - isn't it usually the other way around? Spencer has even hedged their bets to make it to the final and potentially win the show. We're not sure whether he actually believes this or whether it's another attempt at reverse psychology - you can never tell with the illusive Speidi.
As fleetingly mentioned, Frankie has kept his head down for most of the morning, acting as House chef, while Paula has busied herself with reciting tales from times gone by and describing the things she dislikes most (rolling cigarettes and going for a number two, if you're wondering).
Maybe as the time draws near we'll start to see some nerves, but at the moment we have some contented housemates on our hands. Quick, let's get an eviction in to spice things up and shake these celebrities out of their comfort zones!
1.23pm: Rylan has been called to the Diary Room - could a secret task be in store? We've given it away, yes there is.
Hi MrsH sorry you have been left with the updates ,I am going back out soon but I will be here later tonight .
Cheers for the updates.
1.39pm: Rylan has to recreate the hysterical sobbing scene from X Factor by crying tears of sympathy to the 3 nominated HMs
1.44pm: The tears are flowing. Give that boy a medal.
