OK, first and foremost, I must admit that I was wrong! I had pegged Darnell as the next victim to face the public’s wrath after his poor behaviour last week, but apparently it was not to be.
Darnell was certainly in Big Brother’s bad books last week, as was Rex. The gruesome twosome continued with their anti-Sara antics, and on an evening that culminated in them calling Sara some very nasty names, Big Brother gave them both serious warnings and Channel 4 received hundreds of complaints. For some reason though, the housemates just didn’t want them out (or perhaps this was a tactical move, to keep those with a slim chance of winning in the final). Even Sara seems to have forgiven Darnell his numerous failings, and is once again cuddling up to him in the pool – whatever happened to her self-respect?!
Big Brother was full of twists and turns this week, and the first shock for the housemates came after they had completely a 2-day casino-themed task, which incorporated magic tricks, Elton John and Kiki Dee and lots of one-armed bandit action. On Tuesday, housemates spent the evening wondering why they hadn’t been asked to provide their nominations. Theories flew back and forth, but the mystery wasn’t solved until Davina suddenly announced to the BB house that they were live on air! Housemates were given white cards and marker pens, and were asked to write down the names of the nominated housemates. Then they were asked to give their nominations, this time not in the privacy of the diary room, but in front of the whole house. There were an overwhelming number of nominations for Sara and Lisa, but the girls didn’t get a chance to be miserable for long.
They were immediately called into a task room, and in a version of The Prisoners’ Dilemma, had to make the decision whether to share £50,000 of prize money or whether they would try to take it all for themselves. Being the lovely caring sharing types that they are, Lisa and Sara made short work of their decision and stuck to the plan, meaning that when they returned to the housemates 10 minutes later, they were both £25,000 richer! Nice girls that they are, they didn’t spend the rest of the week rubbing their stupid housemates Judas noses in it, but instead just got on with business as usual (Lisa, being orange, exercising, dressing like a crazy lady and Sara, waiting for Rex to stop being mean to her and then bumming cigarettes off him, waiting for Darnell to stop being mean to her and then giving him some icky joy in the pool).
Sadly, Lisa was evicted on Friday night, after an incredibly close vote (the producers called a crisis meeting on the night to decide what to do in the event that there was a dead tie, in the end Lisa got 52.6% of the vote). For some odd reason, she was pleased to be reunited with Mario, and we’re now into the final final countdown.
Word on the metaphorical street is that there will be a double eviction on Tuesday prior to the final – I’m sticking with my previous predictions, but come on over to the forum and let me know what you think!
