          I went into CBB thinking I'd like to show MY personality instead of playing a character but I realised early on that I was in the midst of freak show ...  

Samuel Robertson‏@robertsonsamuel

Day 9 round-up: Double drama

What a day. Anyone who thought this series was off to a slow start needs to sit down and Demand 5 last night's show. So much happened that we're in a tizz and will be processing the fall out for millennia, or at least an hour. We had an eviction, new nominations and the grand finale of the devilish twist that's been playing out since Wednesday. But first things first...

Sam or Ryan's last day as a housemate dawned to find the duo in thoughtful form. They worked through their feelings while working out their bodies, excellent multi-tasking that caused others to join the sweaty fun. Maybe once this is all over, they'll release a joint exercise video, scored by Steps, of course.

Speidi continued to watch from the basement and continued to fume, ranting like a pair of irate footie pundits who can't believe a goal's been disallowed. They got to wield task power  once again, picking Lacey, Rylan, Claire, Tricia and Razor to participate in Tell It Like It Is designed to reveal which of them is the most honest. Can you guess who it was?

As the early winter sun began to set, a double-headed sense of anticipation began to grow. Down in the basement Speidi chowed down their last luxury supper while upstairs Sam and Ryan handled their potential 'elimination' (to speak in 'Speidiese') differently. The Scotsman kicked about in his kilt while Ryan looked worried in various locations. He looked worried in the bedroom, worried in the igloo and worried in the Diary Room. If he were to star in a searching-themed children's cartoon it would have to be 'Where's Worry' (sorry).

All that worrying turned out to be needless when Sam's name was called out. The sexy Scot put on a brave face and proved a charming interviewee, even if his best bits were a little heavy on the sleeping shots. Before anyone could say 'Bye Sa...' it was on to the most dramatic and brilliant part of the night.

Speidi re-entered the House, but not before picking two housemates to face nomination while the rest of the House watched on a monitor, reeling from the news that rather than walking out, the Pratts had been watching their every indiscreet move.

With Claire and Rylan sure to be facing eviction on Sunday, Speidi returned to the House which became the site of epic and heated discussions. Reactions were wonderfully varied, from Razor laughing and not apologising to Rylan getting on his soapbox to explain why's he's not a fake. Everyone had something to communicate, even if it was just in confusion in the eyes. It is rather a lot to take in, which is why we've summarised the reactions here.

The ripples of this will continue spreading as housemates come to terms with things not being at all how they seemed yesterday morning. What the House dynamic will be like once the chips in the air finally land is something you want to be around to see.

8.10am: Housemates are sound asleep. Bless them.

8.24am: All is peaceful in the House. For now.

8.40am: Everybody is still fast asleep after last night's 'festivities'.. All that drama can wear a house out. Who will be awake first.

8.56am: Everyone is catching some Zzzs. The snorings not as bad this morning actually.

9.08am: Spencer momentarily showed signs of life, said something garbled, and then went straight back to sleep.

9.20am: Frankie has just momentarily got up, flashed his tightie-whities, and gone straight back to bed. Works for us. Carry on.

9.28am: Here's something interesting. Rylan sleeps with the covers exclusively showing his upper thighs! What a lovely cooling sleep.

9.32am: We have one awake housemate in the shape of Mr Frankie Dettori. He just said "Ay-ie-ie." Wonder what's ailing him so.

9.47am: Still one housemate stands alone. Frankie is doing the washing up. Well, it has to be done

9.48am: And then a minute later, BB has open the shutters. Hello daylight! Nobody seems to be too bothered right this second.

  and 

arghh  you just beat me - must have logged in the same time 

will wander off and have a bath and pick up later where you leave off 

9.55am: We have another awake housemate. Rise and shine, Ryan. Welcome to a little thing we like to call 'the morning'.

10.05am: Gillian has removed her fetching leopard print sleep mask and already in full chinwag-mode with Tricia.

10.15am: Claire, Gillian, Razor, Ryan, Tricia and Frankie are now awake doing Big Brother impressions. Oh, very funny guys.

10.28am: Ryan's in his lycras already, doing some sort of water bottle-themed, punching workout. Looks fun, at least.

10.40am: Rylan is still tuckered out, but awake, already gallantly giving out his toothbrush charger to a deprived Trisha. Our hero.

10.54am: Trisha & Gillian are chatting to Frankie about sporting triumphs. BB announces the gym's open, everyone shrugs and carries on.

Okay dokay MrsH 

11.11am: Tricia is doing the ol' vapour rub in a bowl of hot water, towel over your head and inhale routine. Razor's enjoying the show.

11.24am: Razor's just rocked up at the gym with Ryan & Gillian talking about milkshakes. Now that's a way to enjoy the gym.

11.39am: Razor and Rylan are debating big Saturday night plans. We think we can make that decision for you pretty quickly, guys.

11.51am: It's still Gym o' Clock for Claire, Ryan, Gillian and Tricia. Ryan just belched. Good workout.

I think they must be asleep in there.

Got to go, I`ll be back later

If don`t catch you, have a great time tonight MrsH.  

later Scotty thanks 

Day 10: Housemates don't wanna talk about it28 mins ago

12.12pm: Gym now closed, people grumbling because they want to do more exercise. Guys, it's Saturday! Is Live & Kicking not still on..?

12.28pm: Claire & Rylan are having a bonding sesh. We wonder if Rylan still thinks "Omg it's Claire from Steps" when he speaks to her.

12:52pm: Cheeky devil

1.06pm: Razor playing the ultimate celebrity faux pas of wearing sunglasses indoors. If you're not in the Matrix, it's just not cool.

1.22pm: Claire is settling in for a bath. We'll keep you updated but thus far, she doesn't even have a rubber duck.

Day 9: Claire sweats it out

1.26pm: Rylan has a spot inside his nose, apparently. A piece of personal info not to be sniffed at there

1.38pm: Spencer's asking the others if Skittles are called Skittles because they look like bowling pins. Any takers?

I think Spencer looked quite worried last night when he came back into the house and Rylan started to have a go back at him, I wonder if they are keeping to the vow of not talking to the other hms they don't seem to be doing many tasks do they

well not according to the above tweet 

1.49pm: Electric toothbrushathon going on with Lacey, Gillan and Rylan in the bathroom. They could start a band. Not a good one, obv.

1:55pm: Heidi has just told a story about her passing the president in a flying car and him waving at her. We *think* it's a dream.

2.08pm: Claire having a total shampoo ad-moment in the bath with that impeccible shade of blonde that we're quite jealous of.

2.22pm: Razor is doing impressions of his own snoring, which we don't get enough of when he's actually asleep.

2.36pm: Lacey is happy that the housemates eat together every day. Well, it can be a nice time when you're not on Come Dine With Me.

2.46pm: Shade-check. Razor is still wearing the shades. He's totally tapped that whole eyes being windows to the soul thing, hasn't he?

2.56pm: Lacey is still in her dressing gown. Is this young lady ever going to get dressed today?

3.07pm: Attention. This is not a drill. The housemates have put the kettle on. Gillian fancies a biscuit. Do not leave your stations.
