8.52pm: The HMs are at stalemate as they sit staring at the letters. No one is prepared to open their letter.
9.00pm: Claire saying she really appreciates the support but is playing it cool on the sofas, but everyone is refusing to open letters.
9.06pm: Rylan and Tricia doing a standing spoon, the house remains bathed in silence.. Quite peaceful, when you think about it.
9.09pm: Speidi are hiding out in the bedroom still, like two puppies sitting in the corner when they know they've done wrong.
9.10pm: Uh-oh. Rylan is still vibrant in his annoyance at Speidi. They're going to have to come out and face the music sometime..
9.13pm: The HMs are still reeling. Claire and Ryan are maturely dismissing the matter, but has BB pushed them too far this time?
9.16pm: Rylan and Tricia are in the bedroom making the beds, but not speaking to Speidi. Speidi are commenting on this. Very odd.
9.17pm: We have never seen two people so adamantly talk about duvet covers. Speidi are staring determinedly in the other direction.
9.30pm: HMs still discussing their mutual agreement to ditch the letters. Rylan doesn't want to talk to Speidi anymore. Serious stuff. #CBB
9.38pm: The Housemates have burst into a rendition of True Colours, interestingly enough. #CBB
9.50pm: Things have simmered down now, with Rylan reminiscing about his chilli chocolate task. Speidi still remain cosied up in bed. #CBB
9.51pm: Looks like Tricia's having second thoughts about giving up her letter. Ryan reassures her to just imagine what her family said. #CBB
10.23pm: Speidi are awake and have gone straight back to talking about the HMs. #CBB
10.34pm: Normal chit-chat has resumed in the living room, but the housemates are very subdued. #CBB
Day 18: Strike it from the letter
The housemates have received their results from the Diletters task, but although with only one fail for Heidi and Spencer, the atmosphere is as frosty as the weather outside.
After Razor and Frankie spent all day riding each other in respective horse and jockey outfits, Ryan spent the majority of the day dressed as a toad, confined to saying "Ribbit" before sentences, Rylan sacrificing his facial hair, and Claire stepping up (to the steps) every time BB pumped in Steps' fans screams. But their hard work has gone amiss upon hearing the news that because Tricia picked Clare's letter from home to be the most important, due to Speidi's refusal to be separated for a day, BB's trickery has meant it is actually she who lost her letter.
Inevitably, this left a bitter taste in everyone's mouth. Nobody likes being duped by Big Brother after all. On learning the news, Speidi disappeared into the bedroom conveniently, and Rylan was vehement about Claire's loss. Although upset, Claire held her own and said it didn't matter â but the HMs united with her like true solidarity sisters and all ended up giving their letters. Whilst Razor gave Claire a big reassuring hug this was the right decision, Rylan was less than pleased with Speidi's tepid reaction to the results, and took to the garden to air his grievances.
Frankie and Ryan in particular looked a little disheartened at losing their letters, but Ryan made sure that he told Claire he was happy to do it and it was time to move on.
Meanwhile in the bedroom, Speidi kept their heads down.
"I didn't mean to laugh, it just came out!" Heidi admitted, on hearing the results, and in the living room, Tricia started singing Perfect Day. What a nice song to sum up the situation.
10.48pm: Tricia is telling Claire that she wants nothing to do with Speidi. We don't think she's alone in that sentiment
11.00pm: Rylan has added to Tricia's sentiment that he won't be talking to Speidi from here on in. #CBB
I hope it's true

and less airtime for Rylan
11.08pm: Speidi are still in the bedroom, whispering too quietly. We need a paper cup and a piece of string, stat. #CBB
11.24pm: As Speidi have a chat to their BB BFF in the Diary Room, the rest of the HMs are talking about Rylan's X Factor experiences. #CBB
Rylan was on XFactor
11.35pm: Speidi are back in the bedroom. Spencer's fanning himself frantically. Tension is clearly heating up being cooped up in there. #CBB
11.51pm: Back in the living room, Tricia is giving Ryan a hug after the night's big events. #CBB
Day 18: A frosty front
2 mins ago
Oh the drama, oh the tension...
Last night, we had the fall-out from the Big Blogger task and tonight it's the turn of the Diletter task. If there was any hope of the bridge between Speidi and the housemates being gapped, we think that opportunity may have sailed after tonight's events.
While an unrepentant Speidi have sought refuge in the bedroom, the housemates have taken the opportunity to rant and rave about the controversial reality TV stars.
"I want nothing more to do with them anymore" said Tricia, a sentiment that seems to be popular amongst the rest of the housemates.
"I'll only talk to them if they talk to me, but I won't make any effort" Claire threatened feebly.
The incensed Rylan wasnât quite so diplomatic, calling on his fellow countrymen for support.
"The British public won't keep them in after this" he stated, adding later, "If you spend your money keeping them in, you're heartless".
We have a feeling their ranting will continue into the night, but how will they be able to move on from this incident? With five days left in the House, they're going to have to work out a way to live with the couple, otherwise it'll be a very awkward five days indeed.
12.06am: Happy midnight. Rylan is declaring his love for Frankie, which could do with an extra bottle of red to help along. #CBB
12.14am: Speidi are yammering about Tricia, crawling around in the snow in her pants saying she acts like a 16 year old. Oh boy.. #CBB
12.32am: HMs playing the 'Would you rather?' game. Rylan's just admitted he likes Big Brother over X Factor. #CBB
12.42am: Rylan has just asked Tricia a question too rude for us to repeat. Her answer is "Depends what mood I'm in.
12.48am: So, erm, Rylan sure has perked up since the tension of earlier on. #CBB http://ow.ly/i/1oIXk
12.51am: Razor and Rylan are being very naughty in their questions to Tricia now. She's answering the questions behind a towel. #CBB
Tricia has been mention more times in the last 24 hours than she has in the last two week
1.08am: Tricia just gave an absolutely perfect spoken word rendition of Vogue by Madonna. Obv we could give her a run for her money #CBB
1.22am: The housemates are getting ready for bed now after some vigorous questioning. Speidi are still awake, silently,
Day 18: Would you Rather?
4 mins ago
As the tensions of earlier on began to wind down, the housemates surviving into the early hours decided to debate some more agreeable topics. After a lot of messing about, which involved Rylan misplacing his pants, and Tricia being tricked into a pile of snow falling on her head, Tricia and Razor embarked in a good olâ fashioned game of Would you Rather?
As is standard protocol of the game, Razorâs question of "Ant or Dec?" moved swiftly to "Boobs or bum?" to some questions far too naughty to reveal.
Tricia was appalled by Razor and Rylanâs cheeky questions, until Claire returned and the game turned into the housemates choosing between their celebrity friends, including Rylanâs buddy Katie Price or Claire From Steps, and Claireâs own band-members. Claire refused to play ball, and Rylan and Razor, clearly still basking in the aftermath of being the Angel and the Devil, plagued Claire and Tricia with questions. Amongst the results of this interrogation, was that Tricia would play Madonna in a movie, Razor prefers high street fashion to designer, and everyone ADORES a lovely dolphin. Nice to see everyone having some good clean fun. Well, kind of.
^^^^ Rylan NOT playing up to the camera's 
1.34am: Zzz. The housemates have tired themselves out from such a hectic day and are all asleep. Apart from Spencer it would seem.
1.51am: The HMs have all drifted off, slumbering into their final week in the House. We best get some beauty sleep too then. Nanight! #CBB
