1.06am: Speidi finally give up on the day's viewing. Probably a good job - Rylan and Lacey are doing penguin impressions in the Igloo.

1.16am: Lacey and Rylan are chatting social media again. Seems we have a pair of tweeters to rival even our silky skills.

Nite 

1.30am: Lacey has just pondered whether Speidi are in LA by now. Oh if only you knew, honey-child. #CBB

1.47am: Razor's 'animal in pain' style snores are once again haunting the bedroom.

 2.01am: We're going to leave our housemates and basement dwellers kipping. Back in the morning - bright and early. Pip pip

Day 8 round-up: Of basement anger and stomach art

The main House woke up Speidi-style via a ridiculously loud alarm. The Californians were feeling merciless after hearing the housemates slate them in the wee hours of the morning. They have a revenge scheme all worked out for when they re-enter the house which will be later today after the second eviction. It's going to be priceless and by that we mean very, very conflicted.

They've been listening with increasing degrees of rage and disappointment throughout the day. Who needs a smartphone when you have backstabbing-cam? They got a chance to exercise their power in an Awkward Questions task. After watching Lacey, Ryan and Tricia, they judged Ryan most worthy of a dog-food dousing. The Aussie managed to smile about it.

Rylan and Razor have been doing a far amount of scantily-clad bonding –most memorably when the footie player donated his stomach as a canvas for art. Some things we cannot unsee. That stomach with its eerie smiley face resurfaced during a late-night tanning session. Razor's clearly a good sport off the pitch as well.

House hotties Lacey and Sam spent some time getting to know each other in the bedroom. It wasn't quite flanter but it was close. Then over the dinner, the intently-listening Speidi came in for more flak. The housemates will be eating their words with more zeal than any meal when the Pratts return to their midst. The furious couple have been working on a 'safe list' and there's pretty much no one left on it.

Morning all 

8.07am: Good morning! Housemates are still in the land of nod.

8.23am: It's fairly peaceful in the bedroom. Just a little snoring. Who could that be?

8.48am: Spencer has now gone back to sleep. Fun fact - he's a mouth breather! The Speidi Household must be awash with drool pillows.

8.51am: Someone is doing a Charlotte Church impression but we have no idea who. More updates to follow on this bombshell.

9.07am: Ryan, still lone ranger in his consciousness, is having a morning coffee and some Alpen. He doesn't look as excited as we are.

9.19am: Speidi are up. BB have just given them a bell saying they can have a sneaky shower upstairs if they're quiet. They opt for no.

9.25am: Meanwhile upstairs, Ryan is still the only one awake. He just burped and said "pardon me" nonetheless though. Aw.

9.32am: Word up all the cleanliness fans out there. Speidi have had a change of heart, and are having a sneaky shower.

9.41am: Speidi are still sneaking around upstairs. Spencer is doing actual tip-toe walking.

9.54am: Razor is now awake, pottering about the bathroom, still with the etchings of yesterday's artistry on his tum.

9.59am: The remaining sleeping housemates have been blitzed with alarms, courtesy of BB. Spencer is watching happily from the basement.

10.12am: Everyone now wide awake, speculating that Rylan talks in his sleep. Frankie says he said the word "Bonanza". Of course he did.

10.27am: Ryan who has been up since the dawn of time, offers newly awake Rylan a drink. He can't remember how he has his coffee though.

10:39am: Sam asks what everyone fancies for breakfast. No messing about, Gillian requests Bucks Fizz, scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.

Tweets are not updating on my browser, again. I have to keep checking back to find the latest

In the words of Garage Joe..appy logies 

For the delay 

10.52am: All the housemates are still discussing Rylan saying "bonanza" in his sleep. Turns out he says it awake too, in song-form.

10:58am: If you were wondering how Team Speidi are doing, they're just sitting intently with headphones observing the action upstairs.

Tweets are back to normal..working 

Day 9: The battle of the soap boys

It’s evicition day and our condemned men have been dealing with the their potential doom in their own ways.

Ramsey Street’s number one legal eagle was up long before the rest of the House and spent a good half an hour eating breakfast and staring into space.

Still at a lose end after a second breakfast Ryan folded a few of his black t-shirts and swept the floor. What a tidy boy. Susan Kennedy would be proud.

Ken Barlow's grandson on the other hand was taking the opportunity to enjoy some beauty sleep.

Sam was finally raised from his slumber by Speidi’s evil alarm and immediately announced he had had a great dream.

Chuckling manically to himself he said: "I had a dream about Razor. It was the best. It was so weird."

What a cliff hanger. We had to wait until after he had fluffed his quiff and donned his black polo neck for all the deets. In a nutshell, he went to stay at Razor's house for the weekend and they went to the pub. You can have that one on us if you like Weatherfield script writers.

The nominated pair said a cursory good morning before Sam headed to the shower and Ryan got busy with the teas and coffees for our recently roused housemates.

It's the battle of the soap boys tonight. Which of our celebs will be chucking another shrimp on the barbie and who will end up under a tram? It's up to you.

Thanks for the updates I can't see them upstairs being that bothered that the pratts have heard everything they've said about them

11.15am: Lacey's telling Ryan how fit he is. But in FITNESS-fit, not as in fit-fit. Ryan doesn't seem affected in the slightest.

Thanks aimee  ( my capital "a" isn`t working) I`m not so sure about that. The majority obviously don`t like Speidi so won`t care what they think of them but they`ll be in shock when they re-enter the house  and might go into panic/paranoid mode..wondering what they`ve seen, heard and reported back to us.

Love this twist

11.33am: Housemates are chatting about the monarchy. Rylan loved the Queen's helicopter jump at the Olympics.

11.47am: Tricia, Claire, and Gillian are missing their kids, wondering what they're doing tonight. Watching their mums on telly, maybe!

11.54am: Spencer was doing some sort of convoluted robot dance in the basement, but has now sat down, as if this event never happened.

11.56am: Tricia's talking about her upcoming wedding, thus now having to invite all the housemates. Think of the seating plan!

My a has to be pressed really hard to work and then I get aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh, aimee 

12.07pm: Lacey is telling a story about an 'incident' at a popular fast food chain, putting Razor right off his shepherd's pie on toast

12:17am: Housemates are now discussing their favourite smells. Rylan's into freshly cut grass. A classic never dies.

12:32pm: Rylan, Gillian, and Tricia have all just frozen because they thought they heard something. Paranoia in the BB house? Never.

12.42pm: Workout session is on for Lacey, Ryan, Gillian, and Tricia. They're singing Fat Bottomed Girls as an anthem of motivation.
