12.00 - 13.00

Good afternoon everyone. I'll be taking you through to 2pm. Apologies for starting late, but better late than nothing at all.

12.00 - 12.15
At the moment Michelle and Jase are walking around the gardening chatting!! I'm amazed. They're talking about holidays, particuarly in Majorca and Ibiza. Michelle hasn't been to very many places, but Jase says it's like a party type thing for a single bloke to do.
Meanwhile, Dan and Nadia, on kitchen duties, have started soaking the chick peas in preparation for tonight's vegetable curry. Shell and Stuart are called to the DR.

FRAN : The reason Stu is more affectionate toward MEchelle is because he has had his 'oats' probably the 'first time'!! And would like to again with anyone who's willing!!! FRAN

Frustrated : Can everyone not just lay off Michelle. i think she is funny, entertaining and totally just being herself, unlike a number of others!!
She has just a met a new guy that she really likes and who seems to really like her - we have ALL been there at the start of a relationship when that is all you can think and talk about, and you usually end up boring all your friends with talk of him. MIchelle is having to conduct the start of the relationship and getting to know him in full view of cameras 24 hours a day. she has none of the usual distractions, ie work, family, own friends etc etc. so Stuart is receiving 100% of her energies as a result. Also for awhile Stu was blowing hot and cold so she was pushing him for more reassurance. i know she is over the top, but he doesn't seem to mind much, infact he doesn't seem to mind much at all. this past week it is him coming up to her and hugging, kissing her the whole time. Don't make judgements or presume things on his behalf!! She is getting more paranoid towards the end because she probably knows things will change outside and is scared of that and of losing Stu - as a result she is making all these plans for when they leave the house as reassurance that they will be together after the show. oh and another thing - how would you feel if your boyfriend was strapped 23.5 hours a day to a gorgeous blonde???????

Anon: Susie, you are so right, Michelle is nasty. The way she has treated Shell, i think has been appalling. She is totally rude, she has said some really bitchy little things and shell jsu bends over backwards to accomodate her. I think its so rude to snog continuosly infront of people, it makes them feel so uncomfortable. I really want Stu to have a chance in that house by himself. Michelle out, or hell why not just throw her and Jason out together!!!!!

Badger : Michelle so genuine......pleease!!!!
The one that keeps singing....Oh I don't want a recording contract!
The one that keeps getting her baps out......I so wanna be a topless model
The one that got it on with Stu....I so love the limelight (and the 50k!)
Not to say Jay (I'm going to release my own keep fit vid) is not the same mind!

Nadia and Dan are discussing what a bad summer it's been, the worst Nadia can remember. Dan tells her that there were worse, and has a bit of a nostalgic moment as he recalls Summers past. The conversation moves on to his Mum and Dad's divorce. He said it gave him a wake up call, as nothing lasts forever. By the time you are grown up, he says, you expect your parents to stay together for ever. (I take it it's a recent divorce then).
I must say everyone seems to be in a cheerful mood today. I thought I'd turned on the wrong programme when I say Michelle and Jase chatting away amiably.
There's nothing to report at the moment as Dan and Nadia are silently doing the washing up.

NewKidOnTheBlock : Afternoon to you, Tally! I popped a post on for Neil to read but the hours were just on the brink of changing. Anyway, it was basically about how Jay is now being more integrated into the group and how he was quite funny reciting his poem yesterday when he said the word "beaver". His smile afterwards was beaming, he was quite chuffed with himself. Double standards, peeps, double standards. All the MEchelle supporters are banging on about how she is being edited to look bad and nasty, err, no - she just is! and how we should all vote Jay out. I can't help but think that Jay has been edited badly these past few weeks, esp. when Vic was in the house. It appears to have stopped now and the attention has turned to MEchelle. Rightly so to, Jay's not so bad, just bored! VOTE MECHELLE OUT, the face and tantrums of "what's wrong with me" with be a pure entertainment delight. Yee Har!
Afternoon NewKid. He does seem to have dropped the Mr Grumpy persona doesn't he? I'm quite impressed with his socialising at the moment

Beanie : Please let's get Michelle out! She is really annoying me now!

Still no action as we come back from an ad break. Still Nadia and Dan washing up and cleaning the surfaces, in near silence....a companionable silence. LOL, my 79 year old Mum is criticising Nadia's housewifery skills! She's not doing a thorough enough job apparently. Messages please people. This is as boring as watching paint dry. You'd think they could talk as they were working, then I'd have something to type.
Shell is giving her opinion on the soaking chick peas, she thinks they are fermenting because it's too warm. Dan reckons they'll be alright. Shell is reluctant to relinquish her role as "cook" methinks.

Glory : I can't believe all these people who are defending Michelle's behaviour. This is NOT the way to conduct during a relationship. Anyone that thinks that anything other than transitory jealousy caused by uncertainty or change is acceptable is WRONG. Controlling your partner to such a degree, suffocating him and basically insulting everyone around you by distrusting them is not acceptable or healthy behaviour. If Michelle is indeed being "genuine" then she has some issues to sort. She needs to learn to trust people around her as well as her bf or she will make herself and a lot of people very unhappy. People around her are walking on eggshells - especially poor Shell. You cannot conduct a relationship without trust. Apart from "entry level" trust, trust comes in time with actions backing up words but unless you let go and let someone earn your trust, they are in a no-win situation. She will not cope with a relationship with Stu when he does not live with her 24/7. She may well be a nice girl with a few problems to sort out, but please stop saying her actions are acceptable - they are only a good example of how NOT to relate to others.

_Becca Lewis : Michelle is a crazy nagging cow!, what a control freak! stu needs to get a grip big time and start sh**ging Shell!!

Cromer : They arnt in health surrounding who are we to judge. Stu and mich's reaction to that while conducting the beginning of a relationship - it hasnt really be done before. plus everyone is deffernt.
Well, I suppose it HAS been done before. Helen and Paul were the first BB romance, but it was entirely different

The other four are out in the garden. Michelle is teasing Stu over his wish for a Batmobile, but he says that is a long term plan, maybe when he's 50. Just as long as he can wear a Batman Suit. Jase jokes that he could have a Robin Reliant and that would be eccentric, if he wore his suit driving that! Stu wants to be an eccentric when he grows up!
Jase wants a big 4x4 black machine, while the ever practical Shell would have a second hand car as it would be more practical.
Meanwhile Mr and Mrs Mopp are still hard at work in the LA, sweeping and brushing for all their worth.
Nadia thinks that they're getting food poisoning as there is a mass of foam on top of the peas, "it's only the starch" Dan tells her, as Nadia calls for Shell to come and look. Nadia is happy when Shell tells her that it is, indeed, perfectly OK.

Just changing hours.
