17.00 - 18.00

I'm back for a quick Update, as the HM's have been given another task.

17.00 - 17.15

BB has just summoned the hm's for their next task. They have to paint coal white. (Can anything be more demoralising?) Michelle is anxious that they dont begin until they have a plan, as they waste so much time working out how to do it. Also, it'll give Ahmed time to work out his next excuse. Michelle says she's heard of it as it's classed as a useless task. They are mixing the paint and have a large tarpaulin stretched out in the garden. Shell has wet the coal and Dan wonders whether the paint will stick to it.

Boothy : It's looks certain to kick off again on Monday when the Boot Camp Task finishes. If they pass and all the privates are up for nomination there will be trouble for obvious reasons. But I think if Jasn and Michelle are up certain people will be annoyed they had to go through all that to stop the Sarges nominated. Can't see Nadia being at impressed with Jason.

krusty : right lets have some action... i cant wait to see the diary room uncut,to see the moaning and back stabbing

piglet : As BB has left a lot of the rules up to the sergeants they are suitably vague enough to ensure the tasks can be passed.

krusty : COME on... we want it to rain now...watch ahmed moan then ,he will get up...and walk off.. inside...i think if he does michelle will verbally whack him!

Maryjane : BB could always pull a shifty and just put them all up for nominations since so many rules are being broken and tasks not done ..andpiss poor excuses over a sneez or 2 and so no and on..they are a hopeless army..god..and we won WW2..how..?

"Complete waste of a non renewable fuel source" grumbles Dan, though even Ahmed is joining in. Someone says that it's probably for one of the producers rockeries, as Shell agrees that white painted coal is very popular. (Really Shell? Coal- I've seen white painted stones but not coal). Michelle is worried that when the stones are removed from the tarpaulin the paint will peel off the coals, but Dan reckons that they have to paint them again.
Jason worriedly tells them that it's a test of patience and discipline and the way Ahmed's doing it, by just dipping the coal in the paint isn't going to work. He suggests that it's not going to be done in 10 minutes, so it's best if Ahmed actually paints the stones.

krusty : victor dunking the coal,dont think your alowed victor,your supposed to paint it,, why are they painting coal white? anyways?

Maple : I think we all know that it will be a face off between wingy, whuss, Ahmed - and bully boy, gender-preference-ditherer, Jason.

Hope its Jason - not only will be get rid of the arrogant ******, but we can enjoy Ahmed having to suffer another week of it. He clearly had no idea what BB was all about!

Dan's no 1 fan : Finally...the lazy buggars are out of their pits! Come on then Ahmed, lets see you painting, or does your throat 'hurt'. Diddums!

krusty : BIG black rain clouds moving over BB house, this wont be good for ahmed!!!

Dan's no 1 fan : Boothy, since when was Nadia ever impressed with Jason?

louise: all them qualifications between them and they cannot follow instuctions to paint the coal...they choose to dip them instead, ..

krusty : if emma and marco (oh! darling) was still in the house, at least after 10 mins of painting it would have turned into a nude paint fight !

They are worried about whether they will dry in time. Dan says its not the tasks so much as they aren't given the right tools to do it correctly. Vic asks if its alright to have bubbles, but Michelle says no, "cos there'll be a whole area of non paintedness" I love the way she says things. Her own unique style. She's encouraging her troops, while Jason remains quiet, saving his energy for when Ahmed starts whingeing no doubt. He's already worried it's going to rain. But for now, it's all quiet as they apply themselves to applying the paint.

Michelle said a friend of hers was one of the guinea pigs for a previous BB and had to try all the tasks. She asks Princess (which is how Shell is now known) how she's doing and generally motivates them. Jase is sitting on the decking munching an apple, saying nothing. Shell's technique seems to be working, a thin coat and then it dries, then another coat. Bit like house painting really. I must say, neither Michelle or Jason look the part, high heels and a frilly skirt do not a sergeant make, while Jason hasn't got any uniform on at all. Silence descends as they all get on with the task. Ahmed says they have tricked them as they gave them too much paint. He also has another gripe about the weather, saying it should have been a nice hot sunny day.

zelana : I suppose watching people paint coal white is marginally better than watching paint dry :p

emma : I agree Krusty, It's all gonna blow up tonight. I wonder who it will be, Ahmed and...? Judging by the look Dan gave Ahmed earlier...if looks could kill!

louise : did michelle say they already failed 3 tasks today, does that mean if they fail this jason is out?

Dan's no 1 fan : Why as Shell now known as a 'princess'? She's far from it. She herds sheep for god sake, she hardly leads the glamorous lifestyle, does she?
It's Michelle's new title for her, she's graduated from Chicken to Princess!

krusty : dont think jason quite knows what to say or do. i think he knows he will be out friday,well WE hope!

debbie : i think there is enough grey areas in the rules for bb to swing who goes up for nomination, which ever way it goes its going to be great viewing for us lot!

krusty : jason looks deeeep in thought,both the sergents knows they WILL be up for eviction this friday, shell has survived a few times now,jason has yet to be up for a public vote, i think hes worrying ,or maybe planing in his head,WHAT he can say or do next week ,to boost his public support...or is it to late?

Everyone : Don't leave us! We need more updates! :)

Sorry, but I'll have to. Updates will continue later.
