1.53pm: Claire, Tricia and Gillian are attempting to do the bed covers. If only this was 2001 and Anthea Turner was there to show them.
2:06pm Heidi and Spencer are in good spirits in the lounge. You'd never know it was nominations day by looking at the pair of them
2.12pm: Frankie's discussing the phonetic restrictions of having "Detorri" as a last name for his kids. They all have Italian names!
2.17pm: Ryan is telling the story of how he got his wife to marry him. It involves a big honking bouquet of roses, yes.
2.27pm: Tricia's just been to nominate, emerging dancing, celebrating her achievement of not crying. Our favourite thing to celebrate
early prediction from me the Pratts with 8 noms and Razor or/and Ryan being up with Clare and Rylan
2.44pm: Rylan, Gillian, Lacey & Tricia are having ridiculously British conversation about water. Riveting. Or 'river-ting', we suppose.
2:55pm It's Gillian's turn to nominate. Which two housemates will be getting her votes?
2.57pm: Rylan and Claire are talking various pop backgrounds. Do we smell the signs of a collaboration?
3.06pm: Gillian's just come out of nominations a bit upset, Rylan demolishes her in a giant sofa hug. "She's my nan" He says. Er..
3.21pm: Tricia and Rylan are talking about Dubai and Rylan's experiences in a SEVEN star hotel. Take that, Lenny Henry.
3.33pm: Speidi are telling Lacey how proud they were to get their record-obliterating 10 noms last week. What will this week hold?
Day 11: Geography Lessons
Whilst nominations are certainly the main issue today, this hasnât stopped the housemates getting to know each other a little better in between, and Spencer, perhaps feeling a tad silly about his words against Ryan in the basement, asked him about Australia.
âMy favourite thing to watch online is the Australian special forces.â Spencer admitted with great interest in the Neighbours starâs native country.
âHow far away is New Zealand from Australia?â he then asked, to a slightly confused looking Ryan, unaware he had been inadvertently appointed Geography teacher of the House.
This then turned into a conversation on all corners of the world, with the international housemates in particular musing about their UK surroundings, asking Ryan if he felt any British culture when back down under, asking Lacey about Ireland and what itâs like. Maybe Speidi should have their own Micheal Palin style documentary when all this ends?
3.54pm: The majority of the HMs are on the sofas discussing lack of alcohol. Rylan worries the House would turn into "Bad Girls Club"
Day 11: Rylan's Relief
Not long after Claire shared her thoughts on today's upcoming nominations, fellow nominee Rylan emerged from the Diary Room after a big chat with Big Brother about the same topic. The X Factor star has clearly been worried the past couple of days, however, upon learning that regular nominations would be going on as planned, he told Razor, Lacey, and even Speidi that he was feeling better about not just being up against his beloved Claire, (or âOMG Itâs Claire from Stepsâ, to give her her full name.)
âI just felt awful being up against one person. Itâs horrible.â He reflected. Even Speidi were reassuring towards him, with Rylan being equally cool back saying that he didnât think the happy couple were going to leave the House for a while. He then ended his confessions of concern, with a little dance routine for the housematesâ pleasure. Weâre glad heâs feeling back to his old self.
4.04pm: Lacey comes out from nominating, but seems more annoyed at BB than the people she nominated. Lacey. You know we're very lovely.
4.12pm: Tricia has just suggested playing Name That Tune. We're so glad, because hardly anyone has sung today
4.17pm: Claire is currently performing a tune which was covered by a boyband in the late 90s. Rylan failed to name it in 3.
4.19pm: "Name that tune." says Gillian. "You've got to actually sing the tune first." Rylan points out. This is going well.
4.26pm: The housemates have now moved on to general quizzing, with Claire asking "What's the name on Chandler's mail in Friends?"
4.35pm: The first record Claire ever bought was Into the Groove by Madonna, FYI.
No Baz - not sure they have all nommed yet
they only tell us half a story
4.49pm: Ryan is perusing through the BB Handbook. "Do not perform acrobatics in or by the hot-tub." How far away do they need to be?!
5.04pm: Razor's bringing to the washing up the same focus he bought to his career as a defender, furrowed brow and all. Go Razor!
5.15pm: Ryan is taking Razor and Rylan through Toadie's storylines. They are hooked
5.30pm: The HMs are having a lazy Sunday afternoon, sitting in the living room having a good chitchat.
5.40pm: There is scandal in the BB House... Someone has left the fridge door open. No one is owning up.
dinner time - later than I had actually planned
then DOI
catch you later will keep an eye open for nom announcement but am wondering if they are saving that for BOTS
5.48pm: Rylan is reciting the tips he's learnt from Claire from Steps.
6.03pm: Ryan is pretending to be a superhero. This has amused Lacey no end.
6.15pm: Rylan's banned girls from the bedroom which he's christened 'Rylan's Makeup Boutique'. Ryan and Razor are about to get daubed.
6.25pm: Rylan is going for a vampy-look with Ryan. We have blue eyes and red lips so far.
6.28pm: Ryan's in full makeup. It's a sight to behold, friends.
6.45pm: Ryan's wearing his new look well, complete with white head towel and thick rimmed specs
6.48pm: Here's the finished look - what do you think?
6.58pm: Frankie is next - he's working it, sister.
7.04pm: Frankie's getting in to character.
