It doesn't take paranoia long to surface in the confines of the Big Brother House. It's like being trapped in a tiny airport where the bloke who operates the Tannoy system contrives fiendish tasks and cruel mind-games to keep you entertained while you're stuck just beyond the check-in desk. The mind begins to wander to the point you're convinced your fellow travellers are out to pinch your luggage or read your bestseller over your shoulder.
Cabin fever's struck early with this latest bunch of housemates and, even though at the time of writing the little hideaway's acting as place for Rylan and Speidi to finally broker some peace, earlier on Claire, Gillian and Tricia found themselves riddled with the heebie jeebies about the House divide. It could be that they're wise to Big Brother's sneaky personality, but they're growing convinced that something weird's going on down in the basement.
Enjoying some time together, talk turned to whether or not BB might be messing with their minds. Talking of the gang ensconced in the basement hang-out, Claire pondered aloud: 'Maybe they're controlling it all?'
Did she watch the Gods and Mortals task from 2012?
'Maybe it's not cold down there at all', replied Gillian, suspecting that conditions aren't as harsh as the others are making out.
Tricia tried to quash the conspiracy talk. 'But they're still wearing the clothes they were wearing when they came in', she reasoned.
A baffled silence descended. 'I can't believe it's only the first day', Tricia went on as insecurity and confusion settled in the Igloo's interior.
Celebrities on the edge. In an igloo. It can only be Celebrity Big Brother.
Cheers Scotty ,nite
WILD model Paula Hamilton suffered a three-hour mega-meltdown during her first night inside the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The 51-year-old plunged the show into chaos just seven hours after the front doors were locked.
As she struggled to cope with life in the houseâs dirty basement, she started rocking, screaming, vomiting and shouting: âHeart attack!â
Paula, one of six housemates banished to the basement in the showâs opening night twist, was convinced that she was having a cardiac arrest.
In dramatic and anxious scenes that Channel 5 bosses will not show on screen, a team of medics and production staff charged into the house to help her.
Housemates Neil âRazorâ Ruddock, 44, Ryan Moloney, 33, Sam Robertson, 27, Heidi Montag, 26, and her husband Spencer, 29, looked on in astonishment as she was given first aid.
Later Paula seemed to be totally recovered from her near-collapse.
But now there are fears she will not last much longer in the house, giving producers a major problem.
A source said: âThey donât want to lose anyone so early. It would disrupt the show and could spark a stampede.â
Paula, who has a history of personal problems, looked nervous as she was introduced to the crowds during the launch episode.
And she appeared shocked when she was shown into the dingy basement, which has no running water or windows.
There was also an embarrassing moment when she mistook former Neighbours star Ryan for a member of the production crew.
Paula stunned the others when she woke them up at 4am yesterday.
At first they thought she was having a bad dream, but when she started rocking and groaning they knew she was in trouble.
Paula was seen clutching her chest as she moaned: âI think itâs my heart, what is this pain?â
She was evacuated to the diary room where the showâs on-call doctor gave her a check-up. It is believed she suffered a panic attack.
Whatever the problem, show bosses decided it would be unfair to send her back to the basement and so they gave her a free pass to the main house which is packed full of luxury treats.
A show insider said: âWe knew there would be plenty of drama in this series but we had no idea it was going to happen so quickly.
âAfter speaking to the doctor and the care team Paula calmed down.
âShe was moved into the main house to make her more comfortable. Itâs a real rags-to-riches story.â
A Big Brother spokeswoman said: âDuring the night Paula felt poorly and so we called the GP. Although there was nothing to worry about the doctor advised it was best for Paula to go to the main house.â
1.46am: There are definite flirtations between Lacey and Sam. Twit twoo. #CBB
2.00am: We're skidaddling for the evening, but we'll be back bright and early in the morn. Till then folks
The Celebrity Big Brother Igloo - the coolest spot in all of Elstree
Tricia's not convinced there's anything too underhand going on
Claire's wondering if they're not being told the whole truth about the basement set-up
It's only Day 2, but already Gillian's mind is wandering
Thanks Scotty and Erin
Day 2 round-up: Blocked pipes and basement swaps
Day 2 was completely swaptastic in the Celebrity Big Brother House as Big Brother shook up the basement arrangements while the day wound down, live on Channel 5.
Before that, all kinds of carry-on went down in the Houseâs hallowed four walls and also down in that dingy basement. In the very early hours of Day 1, Paula was feeling pretty poorly and was swiftly sent upstairs as the basementâs no place for a lady whoâs feeling peaky. Discovering her in the morning was a definite wake-up call for Tricia. After a decent nightâs kip, Rylan and Tricia enjoyed a warm embrace to get their day going, reflecting the general sense of calm in the upper quarters. Things werenât quite so cheery downstairs, but thatâs probably understandable. Thereâs not much to do in the cellar beyond hoping and praying youâll one day be elevated. Despite all that, a bromance is blooming between the boys, which is something for them to cling to.
Talk turned to matters of cleanliness down there in the gloom, with Razor discussing quite openly how heâd like to chuck buckets of cold water over Heidi. Soon we were on to water of a muckier nature as Ryan faced up to the Basement Pipes task. Faced with a plumbing conundrum after Speidi (who were the talk of the basement) decided to opt out, Ryan was faced with unblocking BBâs pipes and he did so with some gusto.
Speidiâs slightly antisocial approach to the Big Brother experience didnât go unnoticed and when the two factions were briefly reunited (minus The Hillsâ pair), their non-participation was the centre of their chinwaggery. Maybe they just love to snooze, but when they finally roused themselves from their bed there were cheers all round. Dinner time was sobering for the basement crew, however. While upstairs enjoyed champagne it was back to the sarnies below. Out in the Igloo, Gillian, Tricia and Claire wondered what Big Brother might be up to, and conspiracy theories flew around the cosy interior.
When evening came Big Brother surprised every housemate with fun ânâ games. It was time for a big basement swap, with the housemates above voting one of their own number out. Frankie was the unlucky recipient of the most votes and, after hearing everyone plead with him to send Razor upstairs (because the basementâs getting to him the most), he went against the grain and sent Speidi up to face Rylan. You mightâve expected controversy when the three finally met upstairs, but the trio were all sweetness and light when they finally came face-to-face. Weâll see how long that lasts...
Morning all
8.05am: #Speidi are up whispering and munching. Spencer's eating crisps which doesn't seem like a particularly LA breakfast.
