12:52pm: Spencer's given BB a call about important matters, regarding Heidi's skipping rope, & water. The main components for survival.

Slow today

Wide awake now 

1.05pm: Speidi have a secret task. How much mischief will they cause this time?

1.13pm: Speidi have picked Claire, Lacey, Razor, Tricia and Rylan for the task.

1.28pm: Speidi are still plotting away, writing mysterious things n a chalkboard. Shopping list, this aint. Stay tuned to find out.

The housemates will be telling it like it is. Why? Coz Speidi say so.

Day 9: The Tell It Like It Is task

Our housemates have been super nice to each other since Day 1 but Big Brother's latest task is about to strip back the celebrity veneer.

Five of the nine in the main House will have to 'Tell It Like It Is' and reveal some brutal home truths about their fellow housemates by completing revealing sentences given to them by BB.

And the best bit, they'll be doing it face-to-face.

There's an incentive to get the housemates to stop gushing and start dishing the dirt in the shape of a special price. Who can resist a special prize?

To make matters worse (and better for us) Speidi will be pulling the strings, picking the housemates to take part and writing the sentences for them to complete.

Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

1.45am: Only Sam and Ryan remain in the gym. Who will be first to fold.

1.52am: Are you excited about tonight's eviction?! Sam and Ryan are discussing how they feel about it.

2.02pm: Rylan is explaining how to fake tan. Claire, Gillian and Tricia are an eager audience.

2.20pm: Spencer's back on the phone with BB, sweet-talking them about their 'lovely basement suite'. It won't last forever, Spence

2.30pm: Speidi are ready to "crank it up."

Thanks Scotty

2.43pm: Sam is in the hot tub. In his black role neck. This you have to see.

2.56pm: Rylan and Razor are talking about the downside of fame. Rylan says he feels so normal in the House.

  No bother MrsH, carry on with what you`re doing, I`m fine

Don`t know about the Pratt`s return. No word about it yet. Waiting for news. It won`t be on the HL show tonight..maybe BBBOTS.

I`m as confussed as you about it all

3.11pm: Sam and Razor are discussing when it is appropriate to wear a kilt. Razor says in a beer garden in the summer.

3.26pm: Ryan has squeezed in a few more sit-ups. Not long until crunch time. http://ow.ly/i/1mh6I

Pump it louder

3.36pm: Spencer's been back on the phone to BB and told a task will be starting soon. Him and Heidi seem transfixed on the housemates.

Afternoon Scotty  

I want backstabbing Ryan oot 

Sam's flying the flag well in my eyes 

afternoon velvet  ( my capital "a" isn`t working)

Yes, our boy`s done us proud   

I feel a bit disloyal not voting to save him but it`s only because I know he genuinely wants to leave. It`s a dilemma

3.49pm: Claire, Lacey, Tricia & Rylan have been gathered to the igloo for the start of today's task. Speidi are watching intently.

Day 9: What would Rylan do?

It's an important question and one we ought to be asking ourselves whenever faced with a difficult dilemma. You're faced with a serious, real world issue you simply don't know how to deal with – what are your options? How can you process this? How should you act? What's the best course of action?

What would Rylan do?

Let's face it, the breezy, cheerful, slightly catty lad from Essex seems to be at peace with the world, so why the heck shouldn't we follow Rylan's example and do what he'd probably do when life hurls us a curveball. Check it out – we're about to prove it with some meaty examples:

You've woken up looking peaky

Sometimes you can look in the mirror and find you're peering into another world. A world where your zombie doppelganger is staring right back at you, slightly green around the gills and with a thousand-yard stare that looks like death its very self.

What would Rylan do? He'd slap on a couple of tubs of fake tan , shave that increasingly iconic beard into devastating shapes, stick on a self-branded peaked cap and strut out into the world like the world needed him more.

It's cold outside

Holy mackerel – the weather's taken a turn for the Antarctic. You've got to make a winterwear choice and you've got to do it quicksmart. There's no time to think about it – if you do you'll freeze to a block of ice before you can say “brrrr”.

What would Rylan do? Isn't it obvious? He'd pull out a hat and mittens combo that makes him look like a lanky woodland creature. What's more, he'd slam it on his head and hands without a second thought, strolling off like the pavement's his very own forest floor.

Not much is happening

You're hanging out in a chalet filled with celebrities and you've hit a bit of a quiet patch. A footballer and an Australian soap star are bobbing in the pool while a Page 3 girl, a singing star and a jockey make smalltalk on a couch. You're not sure how to liven things up.

What would Rylan do?

Well, what else is there to do? You'd drop the onesy you'd inevitably be wearing, reveal your birthday suit in all its glory and flash those celebs like they've never been flashed before. Thank god you asked!

There's a chance you're going to have to say goodbye to a pal

Votes have been cast and it looks like you're about to lose a chum to democracy. Harsh but fair. You're upset, you can't contain it and you don't know how to handle all these conflicting, bubbling emotions before your head explodes.

What would Rylan do?

Only one thing would be on the radar for Mr. Clark. You'd start dry-blubbing, wailing, gnashing your teeth in a heap and, crucially, make the whole scene all about YOU!

Inadvertently, of course.

The rule of Rylan can be applied with any quandary – applied like so much fake tan. So next time you find yourself stricken with a predicament, remember those magic words. It's a motto to live your life by, Rylan style.

I can see that Scotty - I'm gonna sling him a couple though 

It is a dimella - but I want justice     And that was a cracking Dundee FC top he had on  

Be in no doubt ever  

4.02pm: The housemates have been given their instructions. It involves giving ruthless opinions on their fellow celebs. Exxxcelllent

If you are, so am I...that`s it! Dimella over.

I feel better now.

4.06pm: Tricia is clutching a card. She's required to complete the sentence "The most two-faced thing I've seen Rylan do is.."

4.09pm: Meanwhile, Speidi are downstairs observing these opinions. They will be in charge of whether their words are evil enough

4.12pm: BB has just informed everyone that they are not being honest enough about their fellow housemates. Speidi are loving it.

4.16pm: Tricia tells Rylan she can take anything he says. Rylan said she'd be a bad drunk, Tricia isn't taking it very well.

4.21pm: Just as things were getting a bit devious, Lacey has been informed to be more cutting with her comments. Hurray!

4.25pm: Razor's just dissed Claire's foot tattoo, for the sake of our evil game. We're so happy. So are Speidi. 

4.30pm: The best thing that has come out of this whole thing is Claire being mistaken for being in S Club 7. RUTHLESS

4.32pm: The task has now finished. Looks like Tricia's taken things to heart a little bit.

4.33pm: Little do the HMs know, it will be Speidi that decides who deserves the prize for being the most honest in their opinions.

4.43pm: The aftermath of the task "Tell it Like it Is" is still omnipresent in the house, Rylan trying to explain to Tricia he meant no harm

Thanks for all the updates Scotty and LUTers I'm not on Twitter any more, and there doesn't seem to by a C5 BB app this time so without all your posts I would miss everything

5.00pm: Sam is in the hot tub talking to Lacey. He seems a bit concerned about tonight, but seems to be holding his own. Good man.
