The Look of Loathe

Is honesty the best policy..?

Housemates got an bleary-eyed shock this morning when they were woken at an unusually early 8.30am for a morning task.

Reluctantly pulled outside, the housemates had to thicken up their skins for a breakfast bout of honesty. Well, at least it breaks the monotony of toast or cereal.

Sat around, they had to tell each other what they disliked most about one another's looks for a 'revelatory session'.

"Jonty, when you fart, your face squares in," began Ziggy.

"We hear you brother," applauded Liam.

"Twinnies the one thing I dislike about your looks is your deformed feet," admitted Brian.

The twins picked feet for Liam too, and he also picked that reason for Kara-Louise, who in turn criticised Carole for her 'bosom-bust'. "Because I'm just jealous," she shrugged.


Carole bemoaned Gerry's paunch, and his constant moans about it, while he criticised Tracey for being born a woman. "Because it means I can't have you as I'd like to." It's a bit early for that sort of thing, Gerry.

"I dislike your eyebrows," deadpanned Tracey to Ziggy. And with that final bout of honesty the music burst through the garden to complete the groggy housemates' final breakfast shock.

But despite enough early morning activity to rival a Hong Kong tai-chi session, the housemates soon absconded to the cover of bed.

Seems their minds might have been activated, but their body and souls were still sound asleep.

Regrets I've Had A Few

Brian and Liam did it their way...

This week housemates are out to cleanse mind, body and soul and Brian and Liam had a couple of issues they wanted to clear up.

A philosophical Brian pondered, "We all make mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance and who are we to judge? No one is a bad person and we all make mistakes."

"You think telling Amanda you liked her was a mistake?" Liam asked his mate.

"I don't know," Brian pondered.

"I don't. People will love that. Not that people will think it's dead cool; people will share in the enjoyment you have in it and will find enjoyment in the fact that it's real behaviour," said Liam.



"It took me eight weeks and I was pissed out of my nut," Brian confessed.

"Obviously you had vibes and you knew she liked you but it is a risk telling someone you like them especially when it's in a genuine way," a comforting Liam reassured Brian.

"Would you have done it?" Brian asked.

"Eventually. What do you think your mistakes are in here?" Liam asked with a hint of psychoanalysis.

"Not keeping my cards close to my chest," Brian answered.

"What do you think your mistakes are?" Brian returned.

"I don't like to say it but I think I shouldn't have kissed Amy. It's not a mistake; I'd never call it that. It was unfair of us to kiss someone I wanted no kind of...r omance with." Liam, struggling to use the dreaded 'R' word.

"She enjoyed it and you both knew where you stood." Brian justified.

"I didn't fancy her, but I thought she was a bonny lass, but there were traits in her I didn't like. Nothing to do with whipping her boobs out, she often thought I was trying to be hurtful when I wasn't," Liam concluded.

"Some people just aren't used to banter," Brian quipped.

What's a bit of banter between mates, hey?

Weekly Round Up
Day 76, 07:45

We look back at another enthralling week in the House...

You can go one week in the outside world with not too much happening; this can't be said about the Big Brother House, as yet another action-packed week comes to an end. We look back at some of the highlights.

The Time Machine Task was in full swing on Sunday as Brian and Kara-Louise headed back to 2002 with Alex and Adele from Big Brother 3 joining them for a faceoff. This obviously got Brian in a confident mood and he later professed his affection for a certain twin. After some girly-like chat, Brian sealed the deal by planting a kiss on his beloved Amanda. The morning after set in pretty quickly though as Amanda started to have her doubts. Gerry and Jonty were given a history test but failed and ultimately put the nail in the coffin for their shopping budget.

Liam, Sam, Amy and Amanda travelled back to 100,000 BC in the latest part of their Task and later nominations were revealed which saw Amy, Kara-Louise, Jonty and the twins up for eviction. Amy, Jonty and Kara-Louise got the chance to see what their housemates really thought of them and to top it all, the housemates heard they had failed the Time Machine Task.

Things started to get a bit cheesy in the House as housemates became guinea pigs in an experiment to see whether eating cheese really does give you weird dreams. But did the housemates' dreams become a reality?

Now, the weekly roundup just wouldn't be the same without Ziggy missing Chanelle, but could he have found someone new already?

Meanwhile, housemates start clearing out the fridge as they faced living on rations for a week.

However, they managed to forget about their stomachs for a few hours as they had their minds on a model walkoff.

But it was soon back to reality as Amy was given the boot from the House. But her snog-partner Liam was just happy that the twins survived. Amy careered out of the House and had her interview with Davina.

On Saturday morning, Big Brother took Tracey to paradise, with her very own rave in the garden. Some of the housemates weren't too happy with their outfits though...

The housemates turned into cunning linguists for their latest Task but who came out tops?

Sunday is usually one for relaxing and Big Brother took that notion to an entirely new level when the Perfect Housemate Task was announced with the gang attempting to become better housemates via a series of spiritual tasks to improve their bodies, minds and souls. There was a twist though as each person who is crowned a guru in each part of the Task will avoid being up for eviction, with the rest facing the dreaded chop.

It started out with a bit of log chat and moved onto a test of the mind with Ziggy crowned the first guru and therefore earning immunity from nomination this week.

Who will join him and who will be up for nomination this week, it's bound to be riveting stuff - stay close.
