Regarding the #BBUK HOMOPHOBIA controversy:
It is NOT about "Freedom of speech" or if "Evander is entitled to his opinion". People have no more choice in being homosexual than being black.
Would Mr Holyfield tolerate derogatory comments about his race?
I'm glad that Channel 5 chose to broadcast this. The audience spend real money voting for these people, thus it is only fair that they know in advance what these “Celebs” in need of cash are REALLY like.
No Evander Holifield, Homosexuality is NOT a “choice”.
On the other hand being an ignorant bigot certainly IS...
Ps. I wonder if Mr Holyfield is really in a position to offer his bigoted views on morality & provide biblical quotes to justify them... You know after having 11 kids by 6 different women, several while still married.
7.24pm: Jim's suited and booted, ready to head into the UFO for the next part of the task. His pinstripes are SO WIDE
7.42pm: Jasmine has decided that being an alien might not be for her. Well, it's not for everyone
7.46pm: Lee: "I used to pray to aliens when I was 8. I used to ask them to come and get me."
7.55pm: Luisa, Jasmine, Liz and Lee are still in the UFO. They're so hungry, they're thinking about eating each other. Tasty
8.00pm: Ollie reveals that his friends call him Obber. Sam's family call her Min, which is short for Minnie Mouse. Cute
8.07pm: Sam, Casey, Linda, Ollie and Evander just went outside and it started pouring with rain immediately. Timing is everything
8.15pm: In the UFO, Lee, Jasmine, Liz and Luisa have fallen asleep in a neat little bundle. Not a bundle of joy, just a bundle.
Jim's heading into the UFO for the next task, and things are about to get disgusting. Really, really disgusting
Day 4: Mr Davidson Goes to Dinner
9 mins ago
This afternoon's task is heading into its final stage, and the aliens have made a request: they want to have dinner with the finest specimen of human celebrity. Any ideas? If you guessed "Jim Davidson," you're correct (well, in the eyes of the aliens, at least).
Accordingly, Jim has dressed in his finest pinstriped suit. Check out the size of those pinstripes! Blinding.
It's not all fun and games, however. The aliens will be grilling him with questions, and Jim's task will be to answer them as politely as possible while eating the grotesque delicacy that they serve him. How grotesque, you ask? How about an alien head? Yeah, thought so.
Don't worry: it's not a real head (duh). It's made of unpleasant, but edible, ingredients: the green jellied brains are pig brain; the eyes are boiled pigs eyes; the tongue is filled with puss (dyed fermented stinky tofu); and the ear wax is made from Japanese Nato beans.
Do you think Jim will be able to stomach this part of the task?
8.20pm: Big Brother has told the HMs in the House to go about their business. For Lionel, that means SHOW BUSINESS. He's dancing.
8.28pm: Lionel's STILL dancing. He's half man, half dancing machine
8.42pm: Sam and Casey are sitting together in matching black-and-white striped jumpers. All that's missing is Hamburglar.
8.51pm: Ollie is bouncing around in a stripy onesie, like a slightly posher version of Tigger
OK, make yourself a cup of tea and get yourself comfy - the show starts on Channel 5 at 9pm. Enjoy
10.06pm: The UFO crew have been released! The Beastie Boys are on the stereo, booze is flowing.. this will probably end innocently
10.13pm: All Rise is on the stereo. Lee remembers the words, but he's forgotten the moves
Day 4: The lines are now open - send a pair to the bolt hole!
22 mins ago
This week, our celebrity housemates think they're facing eviction in pairs. In fact, rather than voting to boot a housemate out, you are actually voting for one pair to be moved to a secret area of the House - the 'bolt hole', where two lucky housemates will have the opportunity to spy on their housemates 24 hours a day. Who moves? You decide!
Following the bondage-based shenanigans of the last few days, three pairs of housemates are currently contemplating life on the outside. On Wednesday night, Big Brother will stage a fake eviction, and one of these pairs will move to the bolt hole - a safe hiding place where they'll be watching the other celebrities' every move.
So should Casey & Lee all rise to the challenge? Will Liz get the opportunity to collaborate with Dappy on a celeb-spotting article? Or will Luisa make Evander her spying apprentice? Here are the numbers you need to make your decision:
To vote for Casey & Lee:
Call 090 20 44 24 13 from a landline
Call 6 44 24 13 from a mobile
To vote for Dappy & Liz:
Call 090 20 44 24 14 from a landline
Call 6 44 24 14 from a mobile
To vote for Evander & Luisa:
Call 090 20 44 24 15 from a landline
Call 6 44 24 15 from a mobile
10.19pm: Luisa is talking about the tweets that were read out to her and Jasmine. The housemates LOVE Twitter. Good job, guys
10.28pm: We've just had our first "This isn't what I signed up for" of the evening. Come on, guys, cheer up. #bbuklive
10.33pm: Asked what they got up to in the UFO, Liz just replied "We didn't laugh." Liz, the question was what *did* you get up to
10.38pm: Lionel: "Did the aliens come out of their outfits?" Luisa: "They were real aliens
10.44pm: Dappy has been in the Diary Room for a very long time indeed. Clearly getting something off his chest
10.48pm: With Men In Black pumping on the stereo, Liz and Evander are dancing like we've never seen dancing before. Majestic.
10.57pm: Luisa's sent Lee to find her "detangler." Neither he nor Dappy have the first clue what a "detangler" actually
11.10pm: "I have said "ain't" and "innit" tonight. I've never said those words before." Is the house corrupting poor Ollie
11.29pm: The gang are chilling in two different groups, both of which are talking about going out clubbing. Great minds... #bbuklive
11.45pm: There's a LOT of bodily function chat going on. Must be that time again
11.57pm: Luisa just shouted "I'M BEING EVICTED" before going into the Diary Room. She's not though, don't you worry
12.10am: The HMs are playing a confessions game. Sam can't stop giggling. Bogies, bums and al fresco nookie have been discussed
12.25am: The game has come to an end. Lee and Casey have nipped off for a cuddle. Dappy's joined them. He might not be welcome.. #bbuklive
12.40am: The HMs have been allowed more alcohol, but they're all a bit too tired. You can't force people to party, it turns out
Nite from me
12.55am: Lee is singing very sincerely in front of Jim, Lionel, Casey and Sam. It's one part sweet to two parts A Bit Awkward
12.57am: It seems like Lee is going to keep doing this for a while.
1.13am: Evander is in bed, reading his Bible aloud. Now *that's* dedication
1.31am: Lee and Ollie are chatting about house romances. Apparently they had no expectations at all before coming in. Really?!
1.43am: Jasmine just touched her eye after chopping jalapenos. She is not overly pleased with this situation
1.44am: Jasmine just called Dappy "Diaper." She must be REALLY cross about the jalapeno. Will Dappy's new name catch on?
1.55am: That's all from us tonight, folks. The HMs are having a nightcap - check in tomorrow morning for the hangover roundup
Day 4 round-up: The unexpected guests
4 hours ago
Celebrities are a sensitive bunch. They like to wake up gently, quietly, in their own time. Sadly, however, you can’t always get what you want. Have a look at this if you don’t believe us.
But what could it be? A small technical problem caused by the good old British weather? Of course not, it was an alien invasion. Not surprisingly, the Government had asked for Big Brother’s assistance in making first contact with the unexpected visitors. “No problem” said Jim.
Upon meeting the aliens, Liz and Lee were asked to explainhow celebrities differed from normal people. Lee had always had two dreams: to perform a duet with Elton John and to meet aliens. Not at the same time, obviously - that would be ridiculous. The first dream came true in 2002, with Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word, and the second dream came true today. However, the reality didn’t quite match up to the dream, with Lee being forced to undergo someextraterrestrial pain tests and stomach with their somewhatunconventional diet. Lee and Liz were later joined in the UFO by Jasmine and Luisa, but by this time the alien encounter had started to affect Lee’s memory. Having spent a good long while smooching with Casey overnight, he had expressed concerns that he might be regarded as a player. In that case,kissing Jasmine probably wasn’t the best idea...
Later, Jim was chosen as the aliens’ idea of the perfect human, and invited to join them for dinner. He dressed up, tucked in and later vomited in the garden.
Determined not to end the day on a sour note, the aliens demanded a celebrity party to end all celebrity parties. The housemates didn’t disappoint. Linda’s been in the mood for dancing since 1979, and tonight the others caught up. Good times.
