Day 66 Uplate

Straight into the house we go tonight, Chrissie is lonesome on the couch, but soon comes Food Nazi Patrick back from the kitchen, who starts talking about dishes for tomorrow. Does this guy think of anything else!!! Mike joins us then, giving us the number for the brain teasers, and tells us that Reg and Pat are arguing about who is the better “Have Not”. Dan has also been talking to himself in the spa apparently.

Back to the house, Pat and Reggie are in the storeroom, Reggie saying “Are you putting socks on?”, to which Pat replies that he always does. Pat climbs into bed, while Reggie changes. They are talking into their mikes for fun, which helps us hear the convo, so I’m not complaining. Pat is wondering who he should get to cut his hair. Reg suggests he let Chrissie do it. They start talking about food once again. Reggie says “There better not be any of those bloody moths in her tonight!”. Reggie asks if Pat is going to fall asleep straight away, and when she gets no reply, she says that he is ignoring her. Pat finally talks again, but soon after the lights go out, and so they say goodnight to each other. Reggie says she isn’t tired, but Pat is exhausted. Pat says that Reggie had a nap during the day though, thus she isn’t tired. Reggie says that they might get a surprise tomorrow, referring to the ‘Haves.’ She doesn’t think the coffee machine though, because they are expecting that. Pat says goodnight again, trying to get her to shut up, but Reggie says “I’ll just talk to the walls then!” Reggie says she’ll shut up now, because Pat needs his beauty sleep. Pat says he is good enough looking as he is. LOL, Reggie says “As long as you suffocate yourself, I don’t care.” Finally, I think they actually mean their ‘goodnight’ this time. However, Pat says that Reggie ‘is the best roommate he has ever had.” They then mention a ‘rootmate’, before they say goodnight for the fourth time.

Outside we go, to the couch, where Vincent and Chrissie are. They are talking about a cafe or something in Melbourne somewhere. They are talking about some Mexican place now, which was expensive. Chrissie says that Mexican restaurants aren’t fancy, and therefore you think they will be cheap, but they are almost always expensive. They now suddenly stop talking. Chrissie then says she cannot look at Jamie’s bust without laughing because of the face expression. Meanwhile, Dan is in the shower, and on the right hand corner in a box of the TV. Vincent seems to be playing with the fire in the living room (I actually didn’t even realise there was one there!), while Chrissie sits close for the warmness. Ah there we go, we get a nice picture of a spot of the house we hardly see. Chrissie says she loved living in Williamstown, saying it was probably one of the best parts of her life living there. She is thinking about having a shower. Dan re-enters after his shower/spa. They talk about the temperature of the spa, saying 37 is just good. Vincent seems to want to spend the night by the fire, suggesting they get some pillows and just relax. Chrissie goes and gets in the shower. Oh please, we all love Chrissie, but we don’t want to she her get undressed. Thankyou, BB decides we should head back to the living area. Vincent says that the square place didn’t have a fireplace. He misses the people from that house. He again mentions that they will most likely see that part of the house again. Some kind of ‘play’ purpose. Vincent says he has gone into the DR again to enquire about the DVD’s. Dan says it must be intentional, but then why leave the TV and DVD player in the room? Comm break!

No studio audience tonight, well actually 1. He is drunk too! He reads out a letter from a 71 year old enjoying the show. He says that the Cookie Cutter Sky song can be downloaded from the OS. Makes note to get it in a sec!!! Anyway, first brain teaser is underway for tonight. It could be Tiger, we’ll wait and see. He says there is a suprise for the SA, WA and ACT viewers next week, because they can’t play the brain teaser due to time issues/legal reasons. Back to the house we go, Vincent and Dan sitting by the fire. Vincent gets up, unsure of what to do. Cut to the storeroom where everyone seems asleep. Seems we are going to stay with this vision for a while, for some bizzeare reason. It’ll give me time to download the song anyway! Excellent, I thought it might be a vision version of the song, but it’s an MP3. OOOOH!!! TENSION IN THE BB HOUSE!

We are on this vision because a cameraman filming Chrissie said loudly something not nice about her figure, and she heard it. They are all talking about it now, although not on TV of course. Dan says to the cameraman, “Well I hope your happy.” Vincent has said “That was f#@*@!# unprofessional. You should get an apology.” Wonder if we’ll get anymore vision of Dan, Vincent and Chrissie tonight, they might be talking about it all night. Comm break during all of this BTW.

Back with Mike, who acts as if nothing as happened. He actually does say some stuff is happening that they can’t show it. Onto the brain teaser however, while he again says ‘the housemates are asleep.’, trying to think that we aren’t missing the Dan, Vincent, Chrissie discussion. The teaser answer is Tiger. He goes through the eviction phone numbers to pass some time away. We go back to the house, but only as har as the storeroom. Pat seems very restless. Another comm break.

Mike is still very peppy for a tired man, but Janine is through on the line to win the money. She gives the answer ‘tired’, and she is told she is right, thus winning the money. Mike gets her boyfriend on the line. They play pick a camera, but I’m sure they won’t cross to one with the 3 in it. 26 is the diary room, and obviously the others are in there, because they won’t cross there. They pick one which is the square verandah type camera. Another one is the kitchen. The girl comes back on again, they talk for another five minutes, before they cut to a comm break.

Back again with Mike, who says it’s brain teaser time again. He goes through the second game, which is SILENT. Easy that one. He says he has heaps of giveaways for runner up people in the brain teaser challenge. He goes through some names on the forums at the Official Site, before we are rushed back to the storeroom. Silence a plenty in there. “This is BB, Daniel and Vincent to the diary room”. Well, we know something is going on now, there is confirmation. Mike comes back on, thinking about what Reggie might be dreaming about. He goes through a few comps the OS are running. Mike says that they don’t show the DR action because they mightbe discussing private things.

Back now with Daniel and Vincent, who are saying to Chrissie they will be in, in a minute. Wonder if BB told them not to talk about the cameraman incident while they were in there. No idea myself. They keep talking, Dan just telling Vincent a story while they sit by the fire. You would assume that BB instructed the boys to stop talking about the earlier incident while in the diary room, because after they have come out they have totally changed topics. Comm break.

Back again with Mike, who says he will give the clue for the brain teaser, the second of the night. The clue matches my earlier guess of Silent. 3 audience members now. Mike says it must be smoko time for the staff. He mentions that he actually sits on the nomination set. Back to the boys now though.

Dan and Vincent are talking about giving their female partners clothes or lingerie. Vincent says he bought sexy stuff for his girl once, but got the sizes completely wrong, and felt bad. Dan says thats the thing – guys have no idea, saying the girl really needs to go with him to get stuff. Dan goes into the bedroom. Feed stays with Vincent, still lying in front of the fire. Into the bedroom we go, Dan and Chrissie in bed, not saying anything. Chrissie says goodnight to Dan, but they have their mics off, and you just can’t make out the next sentence Dan says. Comm break.

Brain teaser time again. Mike has Sonia from Queensland on the line for the second brain teaser. He tricks with her, acting as if she has dropped out. She gets it right, and gets the money. She says she only rang twice tonight. Playing the camera game, we go to the storeroom, the backyard and then something else which i missed. Anyway, they finish it off, and Mike sends us back to the house where Vincent is playing with his rose water or some container, I dunno what he is doing! He is just playing with the water, not doing anything interesting. He now makes his way back to the bedroom. Chrissie coughs. Vincent moves to the bathroom, as Up Late heads to a break. 15 minutes to go approximately.

Back again, and we have a shot of Chrissie, but she has the blankets almost pulled over herself, only leaving her arm hanging out. Dan looks like he is asleep, or trying at least to fall asleep. Dunno where Vincent is. Another Chrissie cough. Vincent now gets into bed. Do I hear Chrissie crying or is it my imagination? I’m being serious here folks, not trying to draw in viewers with exciting tales. It’s either a sniffle to do with her coughing, or a bit of a cry, and I’d nearly 100% say it’s her crying. We cut to the storeroom where there is silence, the two oblivious as to what has occurred over the past hour. As the clock strikes 2am, Vincent is reading in the bedroom, Dan is asleep, while Chrissie wiggles around in bed trying to get comfortable. As we go out tonight, we get audio of “Cookie Cutter Sky”. It’s such a great song, get Dan is a real recording studio when he gets out to do it properly, and it would be great! The song has everyone laughing, a fair cry from what has happened up late in the house tonight. However, we’ll wait and see what happens about this latest BB blunder. Dreamworld says Goodnight.

Keep Looking for Warren,
Dave

Day 66

8:34am – Regina is showering outside with a drink. Patrick is up and must ask permission to use the toilet. In the kitchen Big Brother has left a blender for use by the haves to create juices and smoothies. Patrick sees the juicing machine and says they’re lucky it’s not a hand powered one. Regina and Patrick look over the fruit left and agree that they would rather have had the coffee machine. The haves are still lying in.

9:32am – Patrick is telling Regina that he woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Regina tells him she won’t give him shit today. Regina thinks that ‘happy Patrick’ won’t come out today.

12:37pm – Vincent hasn’t had a smoothie before so the havenots whip up fruit smoothies for all the haves. The doctors have told Big Brother that Regina should be eating more fruit and bran, so Big Brother has allowed Regina to eat these on top of her havenot diet. The housemates talk about how Patrick is the only real havenot now.

2:35pm – Patrick is cooking a mid afternoon lunch for the housemates consisting of various cooked vegetables. Regina and Chrissie joke about only having toast and an orange for dinner. Patrick prepares the lunch while Regina and Chrissie contemplate the possibility that there will only be one girl in the house this time next week.

3:25pm – Chrissie asks Vincent if he loves being a have now. Vincent says he doesn’t love it but her prefers it. Patrick and Regina are eating outside as Patrick explains he wishes the task will be over by Friday. Regina says she doesn’t mind it probably because she’s used to serving people. Pat asks about her and Adrian. Regina says they met when Adrian was delivering milk to her ex’s shop. She says that he had a girlfriend at the time and while his girlfriend was on the mainland she went out with Adrian and things progressed from there.

4:13pm – Daniel finds out from Big Brother that his mini task was a success and so Patrick is given a gift which is a guitar tuner. As Daniel explains Regina is shocked and says “you sneaky devil”. Daniel explains why Big Brother chose him to do the task – because Daniel thought Patrick’s chords were not quite right.

5:59pm – While cleaning up in the kitchen Patrick uses a dish that Vincent was storing his rosewater in to store an onion. The other housemates are relaxing in the lounge room. Chrissie is reading in bed. The haves realise that not doing any cleaning or cooking is resulting in bordom in the house. Chrissie says she would love to have something like a cross-stitch to complete. She says she is a stimuli junkie and sometimes go for drives to random places just to do something.

11:08pm – The haves are still in the lounge room talking. Regina is asking about hypnotism and wonders how a swinging watch can make some one go to sleep. To pass the time, Daniel starts doing breakdancing moves on the floor which makes Chrissie laugh.. a lot. Regina warns Chrissie to stop otherwise she’ll pee her pants but Chrissie can’t stop laughing at Daniel’s dancing.

11:54pm – Big Brother calls the havenots to bed. Patrick and Regina wish each other goodnight in the store room.

Meanwhile Chrissie is undressing to have a shower when she hears voices from behind the wall saying “I know you like big women”. She immediately puts her clothes back on and goes out to ask Daniel and Vincent if it was them. They all realise that a cameraman made this rude comment so Chrissie immediately goes to the diary room to complain. Vincent says “let them have it”.

In the diary room Chrissie tells Big Brother that maybe the cameramen should be a little more quiet behind the walls. Chrissie emerges from the diary room calling the cameramen creeps. Daniel, to the microphones, says “I hope you’re happy whoever is listening”. Vincent goes to comfort Chrissie who is upset in the bedroom. He says that it’s unprofessional and un-called for. “Being insulted is not part of the contract”.

1:39am – Vincent goes to get his rosewater from the fridge in the kitchen. All he finds is Patrick’s onion and sums up his annoyance in one word: “fuck”.

Day 65 Uplate

We join in the living area, everyone gathered around the couch. Reggie and Pat are discussing the breakfust menu for the morning, sayin an omelette and mushrooms would be good for the have’s. Chrissie agrees.

Reggie decides it’s time to go to bed, and trots off. Chrissie also is ready for bed, so she goes to the bedroom. Pat is called to the diary room soon after, where BB informs him that the black curtain might still be across the windows in the morning; if so, they are to stay away from it, and not go outside. He informs both Chrissie and Reggie, before sitting back down on the couch. Patrick suggest that he square house is being prepared for some kind of task. I reckon he is skirting all around saying the ‘charity challenge task’, but he can’t actually say it. Patrick doesn’t know. They move onto say that Vincent is the last ‘square survivor’, as Dan is saying he is very happy with the last five. Dan says that he misses Belinda, Pat says he misses Claire.

Vincent says that one wall has caught a cough from another wall, referring to the cameramen. Vincent is amazed that ‘they’ are generating enough revenue for Channel 10 to actually employ all these people behind the scenes. Patrick agrees, asking how anyone could have time to sit down and watch people have petty different discussions. Vincent says that Chrissie has perhaps caught the cough from the wall.

Pat decides to go across to get some water. Vincent is left in the living area by himself. No idea where Dan went. Mike comes back on, telling us that he has a studio audience tonight! He talks about Anouska for a second, and then we are giving back to Vincent, still sitting by himself. Pat comes in, saying he whacked his foot in the spa or something. I thought he couldn’t use the spa? Anyway, quickly driven away from there, to Dan and Chrissie in the bedroom. Basically it’s just Dan making Chrissie laugh.

Ooooh, Happy New Financial Year everyone. It’s Tax time, as we click over to July 1st. Pinch and a punch, all that kind of stuff. Dan is now talking English, but with an Italian accent to Patrick. They seem to be talking about shopping and supermarkets. I don’t know, not really paying much attention mind you. Why hasn’t Pat been told to go to bed yet? Comm break after some stupid talk from the pair.

Mike joins us again, telling us that they have 4 people in the audience. The first game is started, then talks about how BBUK is filming some of the Up Late show tonight, so they can show the UK viewers what Anouska is up for.

Back to the house, Dan and Chrissie chatting away. Pat comes in and says something about a song, and then says goodnight to them all. Vincent is doing some funny moves in the doorway, but we aren’t shown them. He jumps on his bed, and they start talking about DVD’s they could buy for their shopping. Dan is suggesting that the DVD’s that BB provides are purchase copies, but Vincent is not so sure, suggesting they could be rented. Vincent is trying to think of what might have come out on DVD recently. Dan talks about Adaptation again, suggesting he would be willing to watch it again, because Vincent and Chrissie haven’t seen it. Vincent and Chrissie both look they are ready for sleep. Dan doesn’t however! Chrissie says she is ‘just resting her eyes’, as we cut to another comm break.

Mike comes in again, goes through the teaser again, this time giving the clue. He tells us that Anouska will be doing an online chat on Tuesday night, which can be accessed via the OS. Back to the house, Dan comes back from the bathroom, and asks if BB told the Have Not’s to go to bed. Chrissie says no. Chrissie and Vincent both feel they have dissapointed BB, a bit with nominations, and a bit because they aren’t doing much. They are talking about how they are sure they showed the version where Reggie was dancing and Vincent doing backups. Something must have happened about it during nominations. I haven’t watched it, so I can’t really help you.

Dan says the cords were great in the song, which Pat did. Dan has walked outside for a minute, before coming inside once again. He slowly makes his way back to the bedroom. He plays with his hair once inside for a minute, before moving to the bathroom. Silence as this happens. Chrissie is reading a book. Dan is doing some exercises in the foyer area leading into the bathroom. At 12:36am, comm break.

Anna wins the $1000, she is an addict. The word was Tennis. She hopes it’s Vincent going this week. Mike starts up the second game, before retuning the house once again. Dan is still in the same place, doing some pretty relaxing exercises if you ask me. He coughs and Chrissie asks if he is alright. He explains he is just doing some stretches on the carpet. They both say that Vincent is going to fall asleep with his clothes on. Dan would like it if Monster’s Inc would be on the list. Chrissie hasn’t it. Great movie that one! Dan says Ocean’s Eleven was good.

Vincent asks Dan what they should do with the pringles. Not much of an answer is given, but then Dan says that they could same them for another DVD night. Chrissie suggests they can go over and get themselves something to eat now because Pat and Reggie are asleep. Dan doesn’t want to open the Pringles because they go soggy once they are opened. Vincent goes over to the corner, where the M&M’s are apparently, because Dan says “Eat as much as you can; they are still heaps.” Comm break.

Back again with Mike, who goes through the brain teaser, and then gives a clue. All of the audience thinks that Vincent will go, except one who thinks Regina will go. What a fool!! Into the house we go, into the bedroom once again. Lights are out now, and someone is just about to use the toilet. Everyone seems to be settling in for sleep. Vincent has his little light still on, but seems to be lying down, getting himself ready. Actually, he was just getting himself comfortable to read a book. Chrissie gets up and goes to the bathroom. Actually, she was the one in their the whole time. She comes back out and says goodnight to the boys. Chrissie says she loves the doona’s. Some more useless talk, as they again cut to a comm break.

Mike again is back, loving the studio audience he has tonight, runs through the trivia, gives the clue, beforehe does a stupid rap music thing, but it’s funny. Goes onto show the OS again, then goes through some of the merchandise you can buy, before we return to the house. Dan and Chrissie are talking about celebs. They both quite like Sam Newman, Chrissie saying he is smart and very quick witted. More talk, but not very exciting, before another comm break.

Brain teaser time again with trivia dude, who has Jackie on the line from NSW. She wins the money. Hehe, the answer was teaser. Mike says goodnight I think, a bit early for that, but ok. We cross back to the house, where Vincent is going over to the kitchen. He looks in the fridge, unsure of what to get for himself. Ah, just looks like it’s that rose water stuff. After that, he heads back to the house. Back in the bedroom, Dan is saying it’s good to have a pet like Paul. He says it’s just so entertaining playing with him. Another comm break.

We’re back! Dan is talking about his job at the games arcade place. He says they open at 10, and they leave when they close basically, only staying back if they are moving some games around or something. Wherever Dan is from, they have up to Grade 7 at primary school, and Year 8 is the start of High School. Chrissie says it’s Grade 6, and Year 7 in Victoria. Dan starts talking about a song on a Paul McCarthney album. Chrissie says she isn’t a great fan. Hurry up so I can flip over to the Agassi-Scud match!!! Must be getting close though, it’s 1:36am. One last cut to the storeroom before we go though, where Reg and Pat are sleeping peacefully. Back to Dan and Chrissie we go, who are talking about how they wake up with bad sinuses. Chrissie is glad that Dan wakes up like that too – because she thought she was the only one. Chrissie says it must be because the temperature is always the same. She also gets the dry mucus feeling on aeroplanes. Dan says that during the day your eating the mucus away basically, but at night, you don’t swallow it, and thus you have the build up in the morning. Chrissie says when she has a cold, she gets rid of the runny nose etc quite quickly, but hangs onto the cough for a long time. The move onto talking about whether Chrissie was awake this morning or something when Dan and Vincent walked out, but at 1:44am, Dreamworld says goodnight.

Keep Looking for Warren,
Dave

Day 65

8:20am – Regina is up, but she has a bad headache. Regina and Patrick start making breakfast for the haves, and Regina asks Chrissie if she would like something to drink. Chrissie says they can’t have any coffee at the moment because they are out of milk and haven’t done the weekly shopping yet. Regina and Patrick have a good laugh, while Chrissie says “how funny is that”. Big Brother announces that the outside hot water is now on. Pat tells Regina he will be having a fully clothed shower today.

The haves are still in bed while Regina and Patrick shower in their bathers together outside. Patrick says showering outside is better because there are no mirrors all around him. Vincent is finally up as Patrick and Regina start sweeping in the kitchen. Regina exclaims this is the first time he’s seen Patrick with a broom in hand. 2 hours later at 11.45am Patrick is listing to the other housemates all the cleaning he’s done today.

Regina is cooking the roast chicken she won’t be able to eat.

12:22pm – The haves are doing the shopping, but Chrissie can’t find DVDs in the shopping list. She gasps at sushi. Vincent is annoyed that they don’t get DVDs so he’s going to the diary room to ask for them. Chrissie and Dan laugh about it. In the diary room, Big Brother tells Vincent DVDs may be available at a later stage. Chrissie is annoyed at this news.

Back outside Regina tells Pat she’s going to lie down because of her headache, while Pat does the washing.

Chrissie and Regina are in bed at lunchtime. Patrick comes in and tells Chrissie that it’s time for lunch. Chrissie is reminded that she was sick when she was a havenot. Patrick tells Regina to stay where she is (in bed) if she has a headache, but Regina says she better go help him. In the kitchen Daniel is glad Chrissie and Patrick are this week’s haves. Regina is shocked at the mess Patrick made with the roast while she was sleeping. She will go back to bed just after she finishes with the lunch dishes.

Later, the boys are talking about cars in the kitchen. Patrick explains remote controlled matchbox cars. In the lounge room Regina says the boys are having a bonding session. Patrick is explaining making cars jump. Chrissie is saying Dan is so lovely. She is reminded that this time next week there will be only 4 people (or so they think!). Regina is saying it’s funny how the boys go into the diary room and ask for things and argue but she would be embarrassed if she did these things.

Nomination announcements – Vincent, Patrick, Chrissie, and Daniel… I’m sorry that was Regina. Regina screams out “oh you bugger”. Daniel is very relieved but is annoyed he’s falling behind in the number of times nominated. Dan realises he will be in the house until the 11th week, they all wish him good luck. Regina calls him “Mr. Big”

8:49pm – Pat and Regina have to eat pumpkin soup while the haves can order takeaways. Tonight the havenots can have some champagne won for them by the haves last week.

9:06pm – Dinner is served to the haves (cans of coke and all) and the havenots go outside to eat. The haves thank the havenots while Patrick thanks Regina for making the delicious soup. Over a dinner of Chinese food, Daniel thanks the others for being haves. He says you need to have good people around you to enjoy the food properly – he can feel the enjoyment and positivity oozing out of his company. The others thank him back. Outside Patrick is asking how many people are in Tasmania. Regina says she was going to find out before coming into the house.

Chrissie says if she goes this week then it would be a great time to leave – after a week of luxury. Daniel says he’s trying not to think about Patrick because he pretty much chose to be a havenot the first time round. Outside Regina and Patrick are silent, but glancing at each other as they eat.

9:43pm – Jamie’s goodbye video. Vincent – you were very selfless and charming and a great listener and I couldn’t help but miscalculate perhaps some of your intentions and I was disappointed with how you reacted to this task I apologize if you took offense to anything we did – there was a miscommunication and I did not mean any harm by my actions…. You made amazing things out of nothing at all and you were very pleasant to have around the house…. sometimes it was like a maintenance man in the background.

Dan – there’s two sides to Dan – entertainer Dan and the one who stayed up late and chatted with me. Good luck to you too.

Reggie – sexy legs. You have so much more in you than fish and chips and you’ve achieved so much by being in the house you don’t know how special you are and that’s what makes you special. You are a real gem, don’t change because you are so hilarious.

Chrissie – I would have found it so much harder if you weren’t there. You reminded me of my family and friends and you were my rock in the house. You’re amazing and I think you doubt how wonderful you are – everyone adores you and you need to have more self belief. My heart goes out to you.

Patrick’s message wasn’t shown? Chrissie wonders what he means by ‘my heart goes out to you’ – she thinks it means you’re tragic. She thinks you say that when some one dies. Regina thinks it means “I love you”.

10:03pm – Patrick tells Daniel in the kitchen that he’s very good at being a have. He has the right balance of funnyness and keeping to the rules. They agree Vincent and Chrissie don’t quite get it yet. “You know the ropes”. In the lounge room Chrissie says this time next week that they would have just finished watching another evictee message.

1:13am – Daniel has noticed how quiet the house is now. He says there’s no young people in the house anymore (heh heh heh). He says he feels there is a lack of spontaneous energy in the house. All the housemates are around 29 and he thinks they might be old and boring. Dan gets a little loco every now and then, but doesn’t.

Day 64

A magpie has flown into the kitchen and can’t get out. It poos on the kitchen bench, and then seems to find it’s way out almost immediately.

10:06am – Jamie is washing up in the bathroom. Patrick and Regina have coffee and then toys with her about dunking the spoon in (during the task Regina was strict about how her coffee was made). Regina spots birdpoo – it’s everywhere, and Jamie just stepped in some.

12:18pm – Jamie and Vincent are still thinking about the haves-havenots task. Vincent says he was surprised how strongly he took things emotionally, especially the coffee. Over in the kitchen Regina comments its the first time those two boys have had “a good chin wag” together. Jamie is telling Vincent he likes to make a big deal out of nothing.

3:58pm – Chrissie is called to the diary room. Inside she finds a locked box with an envelope. She is to read out the letter in the bedroom. When the others see it Jamie says “not another gold box, I’m getting sick of these things”. Chrissie calls for them to go to the bedroom, while Jamie stresses out, since it is only 2 hours until eviction. The letter informs them that soon they will be playing a game of musical chairs which will determine their status in the next round of haves and havenots. Jamie yells “shiiiit” while Regina gets excited.

4:12pm – Housemates are called to the living room and the game soon begins. It is a tango-type music and they dance. When the music stops, everyone sits down and Regina seems frozen on the spot. She is the first one out – she has become a have-not and will pick two people to join her, meaning the following results of the musical chairs game have no effect on the task. When the music stops next Jaime and Vincent are left standing and Vincent offers the chair to Jamie, who says no but eventually takes it. However it doesn’t matter because he’s the next person eliminated, followed by Patrick. Daniel and Chrissie are the last two left and when the music stops, Chrissie is too far away to possibly win. Daniel sits down very slowly onto the chair and everyone laughs. Daniel is automatically a have. He opens the locked box like a magician while tooting his own magic show music. Chrissie acts as his assistant holding the box.

Daniel reads: the first person to leave the game is a havenot. The last person to remain in the game is a have. These two housemates are to stand seperately and pick teams. Everyone cheers.

Daniel picks Vincent
Regina picks Jamie
Daniel picks Chrissie
Patrick is last and joins Regina. This is his second week of being a havenot.

4:50pm – Patrick is in the diary room and asks Big Brother special permission to have a beer just incase he is evicted tonight. BB says there will be no alcohol. BB tells Patrick none of the luxury items bought last week can be used by the havenots, including coffee. Patrick groans.

Regina is getting ready and comments she has put on so much weight since entering the house.

Later in the kitchen Chrissie tells Daniel not to feel quity for not picking Patrick (after all, Chrissie was picked instead of him!). Daniel explains he had to pick Vincent or else he’d flip out big time. Patrick rejoins them and explains about the coffee. Chrissie is annoyed he can’t have any.

5:50pm – Jamie discusses Vincent’s reaction to this task with Chrissie and Regina. They all agree he had the biggest problem with the task yet he won’t admit it. Vincent has also been saying things about Regina that aren’t true: he claims she said she didn’t pick him as a have-not because he wouldn’t be able to cope. Jamie predicts if he doesn’t leave tonight it will be Vincent. They have no idea about Vincent now because he changed so much in the last week. Regina says it is getting much harder with fewer people, especially Mondays. Over half the house will be nominated next week.

8:05pm – It’s time to go… Jamie. He and Regina have a special hug before he leaves and he says he will be watching her. And then he is gone. Regina cries and everyone laughs that Regina cries at every eviction. Daniel comments they have lost a havenot.. so it’s just Patrick and Regina on their own.

9:04pm – Regina and Patrick are eating outside while the haves are in the kitchen. Chrissie says she is going to go request from Big Brother tomorrow that Patrick be allowed some instant coffee. On the staples list it says “sugar for coffee and tea”, but Chrissie reminds them that there is no coffee at all. She feels her request is reasonable. Meanwhile Patrick is reminded the coffee machine might be back, but Regina thinks it will be a different surprise. Regina has found today to be a very weird day. Vincent tells the other haves to join the havenots. Patrick jokes that he is Daniel’s waiter, and welcomes him back for service. Regina asks the haves if they want a hot drink. Dan says he wants a hot chocolate mousse. She jokes “bugger you Dan! Fuck you!”. They swear at each other as Regina runs into the kitchen giggling. Dan says it’s funny how much Regina loves the play-fighting.

When Regina returns she pretends to spit into the mousse and says “I thought you might like some extra topping”. Daniel calls her something rude, which is bleeped out and Regina cracks up laughing again “I hope you choke on it! Choke!”.

11:32pm – Big Brother calls Patrick and Regina to bed. The lights will be off in 5 minutes. Regina can’t wait to get into her new bed and tells Chrissie to have a nice sleep in.

Day 63

9:39am – Regina and Patrick work out shower arrangements. Now that there are again six people using the shower Patrick doesn’t want to go nude – they keep walking in. Patrick jokes that they don’t give him 10 minutes… everyone walks in because they want to see. Jamie is now up with a bad case of bed hair. Regina continues to offer plans to shower with Patrick but he already knows what the waking-up order is of the other housemates, and who will be walking in on him and when: “it’s impossible now”. Patrick says he will have a nude shower on Sunday anyway. It will be cool to go on stage and talk to Gretel – he is ready to go now.

Jamie walks outside in his underpants and his case of bed hair. Regina and Patrick spot him from the kitchen and crack up laughing. Patrick says “that was attractive wasn’t it?”. They say they should lend him some boxer shorts.

4:58pm – There is a food problem – Patrick reports there is only one jar of curry and they have no chicken. Regina suggests sausages. They organise that Chrissie will make apple crumble (if she wants to, of course). Chrissie at this moment is in the bedroom reading, and Patrick reports the situation to her. She says to get Reggie to make curried sausages. Patrick proposes his plan: he make potatoes and Chrissie make apple crumble. She says yes but doesn’t seem very enthusiastic. Once Patrick leaves the other housemates in the bedroom wonder why they can’t have curried sausages. Chrissie says that contesting Patrick is useless, but is annoyed the sausages will probably go to waste now.

Chrissie talks dinner with Regina, who wants to do curried sausages too, but no one wants to annoy Patrick. Chrissie is annoyed right now, but Reggie says “let it be”.

7:16pm – Housemates are having vegetable curry, prepared by Patrick. They all agree it tastes great. Daniel says it’s possibly some one’s last dinner here.

7:30pm – Daniel is seeing Big Brother about his personal task. BB is still reviewing the tapes. Daniel doesn’t care about a reward – he says it was fun making it and would like to just watch the performance. Afterwards he returns to the kitchen and reports the performance will be screened in 30 minutes. All the others say “thats weird!” and nudge Daniel that it was a task.

8:02pm – The housemates are watching themselves in the “cookie cutter sky” performance. They all laugh and get embarrassed. Regina and Chrissie can’t stop laughing. Regina’s dance actions are the biggest attraction. They all thank Big Brother for showing the video. Talk then turns to the cameras and seeing themselves on TV. Jamie comments there were some extreme closeups there, and everyone agrees in hesitation. Chrissie says her facial expressions didn’t look like she cared but it was exactly the opposite.

11:25pm – The boys are having a “night out” in the spa. Later on they are a little drunk and Vincent toasts to the other boys in the house, saying it was a privilege to share the same space as them.

In the bedroom the two remaining girls reflect on the house: Chrissie says you can really feel its nearly the end. Not the tension so much but you can feel things are shifting. Tomorrow will be the beginning of week 10.
