12.00 - 13.00

I'm keeping this a Lite Update as there's still not much happening.

12.00 - 12.10

Dan is talking to Michelle and Stuart on the decking. He's obviously relieved to have seen the doctor as he says he feels like singing at the top of his voice, but realises that it probably isn't a good idea. He says the doctor was quite old and he'd obviously been in the profession a long time. Stuart squeals he would love to be a doctor, but is A levels weren't right. He wants to change, but his family couldn't afford to keep him in education for too long.
Dan says about seeing a chiropractor, who said one hip of his is pushed forward. He says that Ahmed has a twisted body (it's true you know, he has got a funny shape), and Dan says that he could be storing up trouble for himself.
I dont believe Stu, he's just said the only reason he wants to be a doctor is so if he was on a plane, he could be the one who came to someone's rescue, or to treat his own family. He doesn't really to want to be a real doctor.
Poor Michelle turns the conversation back to Ahmed. "Excessive baggage" comments Dan.

OK, changing to a full Update now, as there's genuine conversation.

12.10: Dan is impressed with Michelle. He's telling her that since she's come back from the Bedsit she's far more outgoing. He's said that he always knew there was more to her than she let on at the beginning. Ad break.

cloud : I wonder if this has anything to do with Becki leaving. She was the only one to give him attention and now he doesn't have it.
'Ahmed is very twisted' Dan - talking about his spine alignement.. nothing else!
I know that, didn't it read as though that's what he was talking about?

kt44 : are they allowed 3 fails A DAY, or 3 fails OVERALL? im a little confused. and i thought that sergents and privates weren't allowed to fratenise, tut tut michelle and stu, u just had a cuddle!
I thought it was 3 fails a day total

also, on the highlights last nite, jason incurred 2 fails for the group, even though he is the one trying hardest to make them pass!!!!

12.15: Dan is talking about how much better he's getting to know people like Nadia. He doesn't make friends easily, but he waits for people to come to him, like Vanessa and Shell did. Jason he finds cheeky and he likes that! He says he doesn't make friends in as short a space as 10 weeks, but he's more relaxed with them now.

12.18: Ahmed is still sitting staring into space as the sound of the trio on the decking can be heard laughing.

Janice : Ahmed is unbelievable! What on earth is he doing in that house if he has no intention in participating in anything? It's a miracle someone hasn't lunged at him yet, good on Michelle for finally telling him to his face exactly what she thinks. He's just digging his own grave, and if they do pass the task, he is so outta there! Hopefully it'll be a double eviction and then "princess" can join him, she's totally exasperating as well.

James : What gets me is that Nadia is just as selfish, self-centred and loud as Ahmed, but if anything she seems to be gaining support because of it. If Nadia gets cigarettes on demand then why can't Ahmed get his warm, dry conditions ?

12.22: Michelle is feeling the task will finish on Tuesday, as each task lasts 4 days, but Stuart thinks Wednesday. Dan says ominously that he thinks BB have something up their sleeves with the nommos. Michelle looks at her feet and says "Really?" as Dan gives her his theory that all the privates will be up for eviction this week. That's what he would do if he was on the programme.

12.24: As Michelle takes a tactical loo break, Dan asks Stuart if he's OK, and has he talked to Michelle about cooling things until they get out. Stu answers that everythings' fine and then a bit of discussion takes place about Dan's experience in PR with his band, although they'll have proper PR when they leave the show.

stroppy : I'm now definitely glad that it was Ahmed that stayed instead of Becki - there'd be no drama of the kind we've been witnessing. And I wonder what those Ahmmed fans are saying now?

Katie : This task has totally changed who I want in the final 4. Dan - he's been hilarious (and sensible) this weekend with all his battles with Ahmed. Michelle - if I didn't like her before I do now. She's gutsy and she's not afraid to show it. Stuart - people say he's dull and wet but I think he's just a really chilled out guy. Plus he's come out with some pretty funny one liners this weekend. Loved 'sleeping his way to the top' comment. Victor - wow, he's been like a totally different person away from Jason's menacing presence. I really like him now.

Everyone else has let themselves down in some form or the other. Nadia I used to really like but she is so touchy about the smoking it's off-putting, Jason I never really liked and nothing's changed. Shell is such simpering little madam and where to start with Ahmed?

12.31: Michelle says she's put on at least half a stone. She misses her exercise as she does at least half an hour on her cross trainer every day, when she's at home. Dan says he was told that people lost weight in the BB House.
Both Stuart and Michelle are happy for Dan, the news about his throat is OK. I think Dan thought his singing days were over.
More cooing from the lovebirds.

12.36: Michelle commiserates with Stu as he did 4 hours sentry duty last night. The walking starts again as Stu says "tell me some more banking stuff, it's really interesting". Michelle agrees with me, "No it's not". "Tell me about some psychology" she asks, but Stu says he forgets it after he's learnt it for an exam. Some stuff about mistaking your wife for a hat is one of the few case studies Stu can remember
(My brain has switched off now). Thank goodness for the ad breaks.

James : Michelle shouldn't worry about the weight she is putting on - all her clothes still seem to fit her just fine

JOSIE : re the evictions for this week, if jason and michelle are up this week and jason leaves it will only be michelle up next week, because the privilege pass was to be exempt the following week for nomination so if the pass is the same for the 6 housemates it will only leave our michelle up next week and i dont think that this is fair. Did anyone else see the diary room when they were told of this decision and did i understand it right or have i misunderstood
I think you've misunderstood Josie. It's for this week

12.45: The lovebirds have resumed their pacing of the garden, as Dan sits on the bed, thinking. Shots of sleeping HMs.

12.48:No action, just shots of everyone sleeping

isobel : I thought they had to have a bed inspection every morning? I've not seen that happen once since the task has started. So i'd imagine that's one fail daily before they even start for the day.he he he watch your arse on the door on the way out Jason.

Disgusted From BBLand : Why can't people see that Jason is nicer away from Victor and not the other way around !!
Jason has brightened since Marco left and is fine till along comes the *slickman* and starts him off, don't want him winning but I want him staying a bit longer.

em : maybe stu isn't as clever as he makes out? If he is so intelligent, how can he forget eveything in such a short space of time???

Sam : I can't believe Michelle was so lucky to have picked Jason to go up against in the nominations (if they fail). If she had picked someone more obvious like Stu(bf), Nadia(bm) or Dan(good leader), she would probably be out Friday!

Pie : Good on Michelle for standing up to Ahmed, he makes me cringe!
As for Jason he's enjoying this task too much, that thing with Nadia and smoking he does get satisfaction out of winding her up, don't tell me he didn't do it deliberatly!

Snozzwangler : Can you guys cut Nadia some slack. Smoking is an ADDICTION! I know its self inflicted, but Nadia doesn't like herself when she is without nicotine and doesn't want to inflict that on the rest of the house. As an ex smoker, I sympathise, I was foul when I gave up and it took weeks. Don't be so holy if you don't speak from experience.

12.50: Michelle is asking if he thinks she has a strong accent. She thinks everyone else apart from Nadia is posh, but she thinks it's better away from other Geordies.

12.55: Lovely shots from garden cam. I knew this would happen when I switched to a Detailed Update. We're on ad breaks now, so I'll leave you with a couple of messages. Claire will be here in an hours time.

Digsby : The more Ahmed infuriates everyone else the more I hope he wins. Whilst everyone else is slowly boring me to death even my previous favourites, Hello Shell!, Ahmed's one-step-away-from-a-breakdown act is actually worth watching

Jess : @disgustedfrombbland, what are you talking about, Jason is loving this task especially all that bossing around. The stupid prat hasn't even realised that he got 2 fails all on his own on the first night - what a plonker. Nice away from Victor, don't think so mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Disgusted from BBLand : Jason did NOT deliberatly wind Nadia up, he merely used smoking and eating as examples and Nadia jumped on Jason, who took it all very calmly, Nadia has a bad temper too but everyone excuses her :(
