Big Brother: week eight

Rex, lies and videotape

This week, the heavenly housemates were treated to a cosy night in front of the telly - and their fellow contestants' audition tapes made for very interesting viewing.

Since then, Rex has been relentlessly abusing certain housemates for their crimes against humanity. But only certain housemates, you may have noticed…

Mild-mannered Rachel has borne the brunt of Rex's ire - for pretending to be more bubbly than she really is. That tart Maysoon deliberately stroked her arm to look sexy (her decision to quit the house last night is clearly an admission of guilt). And Kat, with malicious intent, looked "ve-ry big" on camera. Now, no-one would argue that these are heinous crimes. We should be thanking Rex for manfully dispensing swift justice. My only question is: what about Dale?

On his interview VT, Dale reveals his noble intention to "nail" any "fanny" he encounters in the house. He also makes it clear that he'd happily "stab anyone in the back for a hundred grand". But, of course, Rex isn't touching this. I mean, it's not really relevant, is it..?

Careless talk…

You know what? After nine seasons of BB I've just realised something - housemates are not allowed to discuss nominations. Blimey. Who knew..?

It was obviously news to the current lot anyway - Darnell, Kathreya, Mohamed, Rachel, Rex and Stuart are now up for eviction alongside Dale and Luke after spending an entire day talking about nothing else. We had conversations conducted through the medium of nodding, and a cunning code based on the names of football teams. By the end of it, I was waiting for someone to get the flags out and start doing semaphore.

I've never really understood those people who insist on standing outside the Big Brother house shouting garbled messages over the fence. But right now I feel like heading down to Borehamwood with a loudhailer and bellowing "HOUSEMATES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DISCUSS NOMINATIONS!" After all, we know how the housemates hang on every garbled bit of nonsense hurled over that wall. "What did they say?! What did they say?! Did you hear a name?" "They definitely said 'housemates' and something about 'nominations'. Not sure what, though. Let's go and discuss it…"

Yet Stu still didn't get it. Stripped of his head of house title, he was, ooh, furious… Look at his righteous anger as he storms into the diary room. See how he "kicks off": "I haven't once ever predicted any football names…all I've done is predicted how many people I think will be up for eviction." Repeat after me, Stu, "I. AM. NOT. ALLOWED. TO. DISCUSS. NOMINATIONS!"

It's those nomination booths that got them all going, you know. But just as Big Brother giveth, so Big Brother taketh away…

Lisa in the sky with diamonds

Lisa's always had a dreamy, faraway look, as if she decided to visit her happy place and never came back. I suppose it's quite an effective way to get through the BB experience, and probably the only way to deal with going out with Mario.

We already know, of course, that she's "in touch with the universe" and able to float out of her body at will (if I was stuck in the BB house I'd go to the pictures). And recently she's been making more intriguing claims. Did Lisa really discover Tollund Man, the Iron Age body found in a peat bog? Is her friend a karate world champion? And was that same friend - a modern-day Da Vinci, apparently - also part of the team of scientists that discovered "the human Jerome"? When is Lisa serious and when is she being a very naughty girl and pulling our legs? One thing's for sure, I want to believe…

I don't think Stephanie was evicted by default, it was more to do with being the least popular of the four who were up that week so why bring her back?

Nicole's reasons for entering the house have absolutely nothing to do with any reunions with her sugar daddy Rex and alot more to do with self promotion for personal fame and fortune...and who can blame her? - If I had read half of the stories about Rex's 'sexploits' in the tabloids I'd be looking for a new way of generating income - 'sans Rex'!

I think it's totally disgusting that BB are putting Rex's girlfriend in the house after Steph was evicted by default and not allowed to return just because BB will not admit it's mistake. I will not be watching BB anymore and I think many people will agree
