11.51am: It's a healthy morning - Tricia's doing laps of the garden and Gillian's doing an extreme workout on the carpet.
12.01pm: Ryan tells Claire about the order in which he used to line up his teddy bears. Big Ted was on the outside "for protection".
12.12pm: Claire's in full 50s housewife mode. She's measuring ingredients for a cake. 5-6-7-8 grams of flour (maybe a little more).
12.20pm: Razor's on underpant inspection duties today. He's doing this off his own initiative, we ought to add...
12.31pm: All the housemates have been called to the Diary Room. Claire is distraught to leave her cake preparations.
12.40pm: Speidi are asked if they've heard of Pete Waterman. "Is he from Pink Floyd?" Spencer asks.
12.54pm: The HMs are belting out more infectious power ballads. They've got us at it too. "IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE..."
1.00pm: Rylan and Razor are called to the Diary Room. Are they in trouble? We'll have to wait and see...
1.21pm: Speidi can't believe Rylan's only 24. He does have a bit of a grandfatherly vibe to him.
1.38pm: Ryan in the Diary Room has been given an earpiece.
2.02pm: Gillian just told a long-winded joke about artichokes. It wasn't funny but Ryan laughed uproariously.
2.13pm: Ryan's being super-helpful in the kitchen. Is this part of the #CBBangelvdemon task? He keeps winking at the camera.... #hmmmm #CBB
No task info yet....
Day 15: Happy happy House
21 mins ago
Do you remember a time when Speidi yelled "Shut your Toadfish mouth and go back down under" at nemesis, Ryan? Yeah, well this morning they've been praising his impersonation of one of Kids' TV's favourite characters, saying he could make a lucrative career out of audio books. In a quiet moment they also agreed they want Rylan to win. That's the same Rylan they put up for eviction this week. We won't bite the hand that feeds us positivity by mentioning how fickle these celebs are. Whoops. We'll try not to do it again.
Wholesomeness has been the name of game all round with Gillian and Ryan working out in the gym, and living area and Frankie splashing around in the tub like a contented water baby. Razor, Rylan, Tricia and Spencer spent ages testing each other's recall of how many chairs, cameras, etc there are in the House. It was like being locked in with your family during a wet holiday weekend.
Meanwhile Claire has been channelling her inner Nigella and is whipping up a delicious cake that housemates are eagerly anticipating. If things get much cosier, they'll all be joining hands and singing 'Kumbaya'. Maybe the Angel vs Devil task going on will bring out more satanic streaks.

That is one happy chappy
Could this be the face of children's audiobooks?
Gillian can work it out
Has the water made Frankie shrink?
Day 15: New task - Angels vs Devils
36 mins ago
Big Brother's got a task in mind for Ryan that the Aussie soap star might find hellish â though he'll be hoping it brings a heavenly reward.
The plan is for BB to call Rylan and Razor to the Diary Room where they'll be told that theyâll be getting inside the mind of one of the other housemates. Pointed squarely at the large task room, they'll be given some beautiful costumes, with one of the pair becoming an angel and the other a devil.
As a decoy, Big Brother plans to call another housemate to the Diary Room and tell them that the two missing roomies have been taken away to do a task away from the action and will be back in a few hours. Fiendish.
Ryan - the 'puppet' in this exercise â will be called to the Diary Room. For the next few hours, he will be controlled by Razor (playing our guardian angel) and Rylan (our demonic entity). An earpiece will keep the whole operation on the down-low and, before he's sent back into the House, Big Brother will explain to him that the devil and the angel will whisper persuasively into his lugholes, talking our hapless mortal into doing either naughty or saintly things.
Following the instructions, Ryan will listen to the voices and do as they say â but it's up to him to decide which path he'll choose.
This is very much a secret mission and the task will be failed if Ryan's rumbled in the midst of it. Will Toadfish's alter ego choose the cherubic path â or is he more likely to damn himself with his decisions?
Either way, he's probably going to have a devil of a time keeping this one quiet.
2.26pm: Ryan's stalking the House with his hood up. Heaven only knows what hell he's going through for the #CBBangelvdevil task...
2.33pm: Ryan tells Tricia he loves her acting - he's seen her on The Bill. "I've never been on The Bill" she replies.
2.36pm: Tricia and Ryan continue to yak away. Apparently Heartbeat is massive in Lapland. You live and learn.
2.40pm: Ryan just asked Spencer if he wants him to brush his hair. We're guessing that was a direction from an angel.
2.42pm: If you're confused, here's why Ryan's probably being so darned nice to everyone right now. http://www.channel5.com/bigbrother/article/text/Day-15-The-Angels-vs-Devils-task âĶ #CBB #CBBangelvdevil
2.46pm: Ryan just offered to cut Frankie's toenails. Frankie backed off slowly. Well - you would, wouldn't you?
2.56pm: Now Ryan's humouring Spencer who's demonstrating his Tai Chi skills. Toadie's got the patience of an angel.
3.11pm:Spencer's still talking about his martial arts. He's clearly thrilled that Ryan's taking such an interest.
3.12pm: Ryan's still heroically listening to Spencer's Wing Chun tales. (It's not Tai Chi - our mistake).
3.17pm: Ryan's squeezing Tricia tight and singing Joe Cocker's You Are So Beautiful. Poignant scenes.
3.21pm: Ryan's just complimented Tricia's bosoms. We're sure he's been put up to this silliness.
3.36pm: Oh goodie. It's been hours in the works but Claire's cake is now being served up. Here's her earlier:

Day 15: Ryan's a little Aussie angel... so far
30 mins ago
When Ryan Moloney plays Jarrod 'Toadfish' Rebecchi, he portrays a likable dad with the kinds of flaws you might expect of your average antipodean everyman. Out of character and stalking the House in a burgundy hoody on his fifteenth day in the BB House, he's acting even nicer than the Ramsay Street resident he earns his bread and butter playing.
Ryan's been tasked by Big Brother with a conflicted mission where he's forced to submit to the whims of Razor and Rylan who are secreted away in the task room. Angels vs Devils sees him being fed directions through an earpiece from the pair. As things stand, he's part-way into his mission and he's already looking extremely busy and slightly uncomfortable.
He must be in angel mode at present as he's spent an hour being the most helpful Toadfish in the world. All this niceness isn't entirely out of character, but the strain is beginning to show. So far we've seen Ryan take care of all the washing up. We've witnessed him giving Claire a not-entirely-welcome peck on the cheek. He offered to make everyone a brew, repeatedly and he followed Tricia around, insisting that he help her with her washing (and gave her an over-long hug).
On top of all that, he offered to brush Spencer's hair (yes, you read that right), practiced Wing Chun with The Hills star and, weirdest of all, offered to cut Frankie's toenails for him.
It seems there's no end to his kindness and positivity. At one point, he attempted to flatter Tricia a little with some kind words but it didn't really go to plan.
"I'm a big fan of your acting â you're a great actor," he said.
"Oh yeah?" she asked, shocked.
"Yeah â I've seen your stuff. I've seen you in The Bill."
"I've never been in The Bill," she replied, dolefully.
Must try harder, Ryan â or perhaps it's now high time for some devilry?
