13.00 - 14.00

Good Afternoon. The Updates continue. I would have started them at midday, but the thought of an hour watching Stu and Chicken navigating the garden whispering sweet nothings was too much, even for me, so I took the dog for an early walk instead. Which means I am now here until 3pm, when the lovely Claire will take over.

13.02: At the moment Vic has just come out of the DR having tried to get BB to tell him what's happening, when's nominations etc, but of course BB wont tell him anything. But Vic thinks he's figured it out. Jase says "Really?" but Ahmed says it's an unfair task and what about their integrity. Oh joy, Ahmed looks set for a rant. Vic says he doesn't think that they have failed more than 3 tasks, but now Jason is trying to get Ahmed to realise that people wont have started voting yet. Ahmed is still worried that they haven't started nominating yet, to which Vic says he wouldn't feel so bad if they had done the nominations already.

13.04: Jase is telling Ahmed that the lines are open 24 hours a day. A has obviously seen the programme before. And then he says, as I splutter over my keyboard, how easy and entertaining it would have been if they had applied for previous years.

13.06: Ahmed says he wishes he would have gone on Friday, before the task had started. If 6 are up for the vote (as they think it's the privates who are up if they fail), then he will be the most disliked, even though a lot of people have liked him up to now. Ad break.

AussieDave : Yes I find myself agreeing with bobbyfudge; Nadia has started to get on my tits just a little too much recently. The other day I thought that she was being very unreasonable to Jason, who was acting in a civilised manner for a change.

Val : The reason for the girls slagging off Michelle is more likely embarrassment than jealousy! Stu was so knackered last night but she just won't give him a moments break. I think he sings to her tune because he knows she's popular and viewers will be following the love angle. Hopefully when the Michelle and Stu show is over, he will drop her like a hot potato, join the marines and disappear. Michelle isn't wired up right imo.

Have you noticed how Ahmed dosn't sniff until someone sits close to him then keeps sniffing, and he eats a lot for someone that can't eat. He is definitately up to something.

Moff : I think the last few days have been great. It would have been even better if BB had been more strict over divide between Privates and Sergeants. Jason was neither use nor ornament. Michelle should have been taken to task and demoted over her activities with Private Stu!! Ahmed was brilliant!!!! Shell is sooooooo good at ironing and Nadia should have been left with her cigs.

13.12: Vic asks Ahmed how he's going to cope with all the screaming houswives. It's not a problem, he replies. He's going to stay right by the house if they boo until they stop. But his main mission is to meet Davina, I would be very afraid if I were her, the man's obsessed.

13.14: Vic says he's going to find it weird with everyone asking him the same things over and over again. He remembers when the women painted his nails, and thinks he'll get ribbed about it.

13.16: Jason and Vic talk about when they had to wear makeup, "Only when I had to dress up" says Jase in retort. Much merriment ensues.

13.19: Ahmed says everywhere he goes people will be going "ough" I cant write the sound he's making, but apparently it's an insult in Italian and he's being making the noise and the gesture in the BB House. (It hasn't made an impression on me Ahmed.) It's a gesture that you do when you're wife has betrayed you, what is acceptable for a man isn't for a woman. (No change on the sexist front for Ahmed then).

13.21: Jason says beyond the garden is Real Life. Ahmed says he hopes it will be like previous times, he doesn't say it, but he wants fame and z list stardom. They discuss the booing. Another ad break.

LouLou : Have I missed an announcement? Only E4 shows a 'new nominations' message on the screen next to the red button, which if you select, lists the Privates up for eviction!
Oh, it does too, LouLou. I must have missed that too. How on earth did they manage to pass that task! So, all six privates up for the chop then. Thanks to everyone else who has pointed that out

Jools : I think BB should give out nicotine patches instead of more tobacco, then the addiction is sympathetically dealt with,and not pampered to, BB extra tough this year?? My nursery was harder than this!

13.27: There's another task, as Michelle comes out the DR, she waits for the others to gather round. EVIL. They've already passed. The word "fix" comes to mind, although I dont mind who goes, Jason or Ahmed. Topic for a message special later on I feel, but not yet. I haven't time to read a lot of messages at the moment.

13.30: Dan says the shutters are broken and the Bathroom Door, but they cant do anything until they finish the task.

13.32: The BB is now speaking, it's not a task, it's the results,I think, but the sound is dipped.

13.34: Stuart says he cant believe what's happening in his life, where is he? but the sound keeps dipping so I've no idea what's happening. This is so frustrating. I dont think they've told them though.

13.36: The result is now announced - Day I BB Jason failed potato peeling, the rest passed. Sergeant ate away from the table.
Day 2: failure to wear a glove failure, the rest passed, but 2 failures for Ahmed's drinking from a china cup
Day 3: morning drill failed (Ahmed again) the rest passed, so they all cheer.

13.39: Day 4..passed so they are over the moon. The troops have therefore passed the task. They are all hugging each other and whooping, even though the sound is cut, I can see there faces as they watch the plasma screen. Excellent, they are showing Jase and Michelle in the DR>! Whoopee

13.41: Their faces are a picture as it dawns on them what the consequences are.

13.42: The rest of them are taking it well, but Ahmed begins to shout about how Michelle was looking out for herself when she was shouting at him when there is an ad break.

Clare : How on earth did they pass that task?!?! It really feels like BB are manipulating the nominations!!!

I wanted to see Michelle and Jason go up and for Jason to leave. It would of been very interesting to see Ahmeds reaction losing his closest pal in there! (Sorry, very nasty i know but i'm seriously beginning to hate him)

cloud : Of course Ahmed jumps in to stab michelle and finish her off.. the accusation from Ahmed begins and then ads and editing! Was there a fight?

Jools : Lets all watch Ahmed dig his own grave now! he is gonna give Michelle some major crap I bet!! If he goes on Friday, I think all the audience should turn their backs on him, after his arrogant, "I will stay near the door until the boo's stop" what a pig! grrr!!!!

Em : Does ahmed think that the booing will ever stop? He is the most irratating housemate, apart from kitten, but he is still there! I hope they pass so we can evict him! And i'm a girl and i like michelle, i hope her and stu are the real thing and stay together after the show, they look so good together. Maybe other girls are jealous cos she has stu and none of them do!!

13.48: When we come back, he is still sounding off about Michelle losing his temper. Jase is saying he didn't have a choice and couldn't say. Shell says it's much better than then having to nominate someone, while Dan reckons he's "well happy with the outcome". Michelle is in Stuarts' arms so I think Ahmed has been having a go in the ad break. He's still going on about her shouting.

13.51: Ahmed is still ranting,saying he's being portrayed as the bad man but Dan and Shell point out that they will still get their shopping. He really is an objectionable little man. Shell and Dan are trying to reason with him - I'd have clocked him one if I was there.

13.54: They all arguing, with Shell and Nadia trying to tell him at the age of 44 he should know better. Ad break

I'm afraid I'll have to leave your messages for a while, there's too many to deal with. Just one before I change hours, as it says what I want to:

harry : I think some of the privates should be happy with the result of the task coz there is a chance that ahmed will get evicted and this will please a lot of housemates.

You notice Ahmed hasn't said anything to Jason about the consequences in the task!! Changing hours.
