Of the three he was the obvious choice to me. Sam's mate is Callum but no way would Sophie want him in that room with her, the twins are Sophie's pals but Sam wouldn't want them on principle. So Dan was the middle ground.

night everybody - no Rylan for me

Night to those who are leaving

I wonder if we have a Wednesday save ?

AJ looks like she's still wearing her coat.

 tot tar to all who are going

It gives away his real feelings. 

OK, who is this Stephanie Pratt?

Goodnight all.

Yep

Speidie man's sis

Spencer (of Speidi's) sister.

Heidi of Speidi fame sister.

Well, no: that's not the impression I had. Lurking through DS all afternoon, there were frequent hints that they might choose Dan. Basically, Sam wanted Callum, while Sophie wanted the Twins, so to avoid conflict the one they could mutually meet half-way on was Dan...

In that case I'd prefer Sophie to go... the whole house reckon she is a safe bet for the final. If she goes the shock will be immense

Spiedi sis clueless

Yep, he sort of chews his cheeks on the inside and the muscles outside his face tense too. 

Ta..!

No its not - pay attention yer wally

Yep - shit advice, all over the place

Day 40: Dan joins the Safe House and faces eviction

After much deliberation and VT watching, Sam and Sophie have chosen Dan to join them in the Safe House, ditching Callum and the twins as options. As far as housemates know, this is a great moment for Dan. Little do they know it's a disaster. He will now face the public vote, along with the equally oblivious Sam and Sophie.

Rewind...

After Jackie left on Friday, out of respect for their niceness, housemates put Sam and Sophie into the Safe House where they would enjoy luxurious surroundings and - apparently - immunity from this week's nominations.

However at this moment the public learnt that this was the latest secret and lie and Sophie and Sam had just been put up for eviction.  

You try to do someone a favour...

As an extra twist, Sam and Sophie were yesterday given the task of choosing another housemate to be 'safe' from eviction. They have been taking their great responsibility seriously, whittling names down to their favourite trio when deciding who to, as Sophie poignantly and inaccurately described it, 'share the good life with'.

Finally, this evening, Big Brother called all housemates to the sofas and told them another lie to explain the lack of nominations this week. New lie: all bar those in the Safe House will be facing eviction.

Sophie and Sam were then asked for the name of the housemate to join them.

Dan looked quietly thrilled as he was told of his fate.

"I feel really weird," he said.

You'll feel even weirder when you know the truth, Mr Detective, sir. We feel pretty weird ourselves with all this misinformation flying about.
Voting lines are now open. For all the details you need head over to www.channel5.com/bigbrother/voting

Pity she isn't wearing a gag too

It's a worry that there's 2 'safes/radar dodgers' in the mix.  I don't feel riled or that strongly about them to care - so I won't waste any lazy effort on voting for them.

If everyone's as apathetic as me, we're in trouble

AJ to Pratt: 'Just say Sam' [to go]! 

I think there is some deluded support for the pair of them around the web....Sam will probably get the Welsh vote anyway, so it'll be between Sophie and Dan...and Dan is quite popular

Dan thinks Hazel will go this week

Night all....this show really is utter dross

Cosi I agree with you, I don't really care who goes out of them. Sam, I don't know him at all. Sophie, other than her bitchy remarks about Dexter, she might as well not be there. Then we have Dan, we've seen more of him and he seems to second guess BB too well, I'm sick of him telling us all what BB are doing. He's supposed to be in the dark

Any of them could go.

Night Kaytee... you should do what I do, turn the sound down and chat in here

That cardboard box advert is a lovely reference to the cardboard box task. 

I got stuck on the phone - going to give BotS a miss and head to bed.   Night in here 

Night Kaffy, I'm going to try to last the course  

This is one of those situations where Vote-to-Save would come into its own (and I must admit I seriously thought they might do a one-off VtS this week).
With VtE, Dan's at risk, but he'd almost certainly be safe with VtS...

In a way that's a relief; at least someone will be voting if they're fans of the dull duo.

I always assumed that if they picked The Twins or Dan Sophie would go, but on the forums everyone seems to be worried for Dan and on BOTS they all think Sam's a gonner, , but I think Sophie is toast. 

I like Rylan I do...

I think it's as Kaytee said - they each have little possee's dotted around the country.  Those that like the dull innofensive sort 'nice' types will probably vote for Sam or Sophie to stay in.

Dan - you either love or hate him.  It's down to whether his know it all gob is a winner or not.

I still think he adds more to the house set-up than the other two.

Well. if they really were up, then he may well have been right.

He does the phone in part of BOTS well, I'll give him that much.

I like blinkin' I do...
