What to Read Next

(lots of messages coming in, sorry if it takes a while to get to yours)

22.06 Daniel is evicted to a cheering crowd, the gates don't open to start with so he can't get out but when they open he does his bit for the press and walks to the stage.

22.08 Davina reminds us that Dan has said he doesn't want to win, she says she'll question him on that after the break.

gordon: "Well lets hope this is the last we have of such a staged and farcical REALITY TV show the people who should have won the people who were just themselves without interference from the stage crew are all out Roll on 10 oclock and lets be rid"

Crystal: "I FORGOT TO SAY!!! Thank You to all of the people that have been doing this difficult and often boring job of posting updates every hour! Without you I would have gone into British Big Brother withdrawal! You guys did an "Amazing" job!"

Jacob Powers: "Nadia 2 win, even though I think Jason will win!"

Kathie: "What does Jay mean?? "Not Like This"" I really don't know. :S

spud: "Can I just thank Claire and all the others who have run this forum for the past 71 days. It has been a tremendous success, thanks to the hard work and good humour of the moderators. And now let's hope that in a few minutes Nadia will be crowned the queen of BB5!"

Bilal: "Hey there well iam watchin the show alllllllllll the way from Pakistan and iam hopin Nads wins so that the UK can crown their second female winner yay"

Andy B (watchin from copenhagen): "i can only imagine that the entire population of Scotland voted for Jason... as hes an a##hole.... and should hav ebeen out before Victor. Only Nadia can save my faith in the public..... Go Nads"

22.13 Davina asks him if he expected to be a mediator in the house, he said that he did but not to the extent he ended up doing it. Clips are shown of him calming them with Simon and Garfunkel's 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters' playing.
