2:46pm - Coco, Bruce, Ed and Holly are putting uniforms on, while the others are in the "lobby" toasting. The yard has also been transformed.

Live stream Day 16 Live Stream - 24/11/2025
- Thread starter BBB Bot
- Start date
Tips for posting live stream updates:
- Include the time in AEDT.
- Focus on what the housemates are saying.
- Only include notable events (a HM yelling at another HM is notable, being called to the diary room for a battery change is not).
- Including screenshots is appreciated but not mandatory.
- It's fine if multiple people are posting about the same events - the more details the better.
2:51pm - Allana is feeling guilty as the HMs she chose for this week's chores (as HoH) are now the BB staff.
2:53pm - Conor reads the task letter aloud: "Welcome to the Grand BB Hotel... where service never sleeps.
Before they can react, Vinnie immediately says: "Keep in mind, there's a couple people in there (referring to the 'staff') who have not actually done anything in terms of chores." The other HMs seem confused and try to understand what he means by this. Vinnie fumbles then continues: "Coco has not done a chore" then backtracks saying she has a chore now. "For those whole two weeks she hasn't had a chore, sort of flying under the radar." He then names Ed and Holly as well. The audio is cut. (I think he thought this sounded better in his head than it did in reality. Last week was the first week of chores so the majority of HMs haven't had chores either.)
You are the hotel guests of this prestigious establishment. Your responsibility is to indulge in comfort, leisure and luxury. Every whim, every desire, consider it granted. At the Grand BB Hotel, remember this: service never sleeps.
For those in the staff quarters, you are hotel staff. An elite team entrusted with upholding the highest standard of service. Your mission is to deliver an impeccable five-star experience without the compromise. Your role is to deliver the signature services of the Grand BB Hotel. Round the clock concierge, a premier restaurant and bar experience, 24-hour room service, immaculate housekeeping and an exclusive day spa.
This hotel runs on the grand service principle: greet, respond, anticipate, never ignore and delight. It's the foundation of every interaction and the key to delivering a true five-star experience.
Our service philosophy:
- Greet: always greet guests first with a smile and warm welcome.
- Respond: acknowledge to any request immediately.
- Anticipate: look for ways to help before being asked.
- Never ignore: never walk past a guest without acknowledgment.
- Delight: go the extra mile to make the experience extra memorable.
To pass the task, you must receive a true five-star luxury experience. To our esteemed guests, may your stay be nothing short of exceptional.
With regards, Hotel Management"

3:00pm - The 'guests' have started enjoying their hotel luxuries.
Vinnie makes an announcement to the others: "Guys, I just want to say I'm very grateful. I'm grateful to be here, let alone to be here eating marshmallows out of a bowl of chocolate. Be grateful, show gratitude."
This comes after his announcement to the others about the 'staff' being HMs who he sees as going under the radar. (As per previous post, he awkwardly tried to justify that the 'staff' are HMs who haven't had chores yet... even though last week was the first week of chores.)

3:05pm - In the other room, the 'staff' are going over the task rules again. Coco repeats the rule about 'staff' never walking past a 'guest' without acknowledging them.
Ed jokes that he's going to walk past them and acknowledge them by saying "fuck you".

3:17pm - Coco was reading out the hotel menu and Holly put up her hand: "Coco, can you stop. Just stop."
Bruce appears to be furious about this task. He says something about there being "no way" they can "cook all that".
After a moment, Holly tries to lighten the mood and tells Bruce and Coco that "at least you guys have the loves of your life in here with you" (inferring she's without Colin). Coco concludes that's probably going to be "down the drain" after the task.
Ed mumbles something that sounds like a joke about shacking up with Bruce. The boys look pissed off.

3:30pm-3:50pm - The 'guests' have placed their lunch orders and preparations are in full swing by the 'staff' in the kitchen.
4:15pm - The bedroom is now re-opened, newly re-decorated including fresh sheets, robes, toiletries and a special room service menu.
Ed is currently acting as concierge (while Bruce is chef with Coco in the kitchen) and is gradually checking-in all the ‘guests’ to the bedroom. Holly is working FOH alongside Ed.

4:20pm - Allana and Emily evidently appear excited about all the perks they receive, but have found time to acknowledge the ‘staff’. They’ve already thanked them and told them they’re doing an amazing job multiple times.
During ‘check-in’, Vinnie asked Ed if it would be okay to grab his ass while he moved his suitcase on the bellboy trolley into the bedroom. Colin and Conor are also acting quite obnoxiously in and around the reception area.

4:35pm - The ‘staff’ have retreated to their quarters and are complaining about the boys’ behaviour. Holly, Coco, Bruce and Ed are already extremely annoyed by Colin, Conor and Vinnie for the way they treated them during lunch.
Holly theorises Big Brother told them to act like that, but the others agree they’re definitely acting like idiots and being rude on their own accord. They are not happy with the boys at all (particularly Colin and Vinnie) and voice concern about what they’ll be like as the task continues.
Ed says: “Well, they’ll shut up tonight after nominations (are announced)!”

4:45pm - The ‘guests’ have huddled and are being led by Vinnie quietly plotting ways to keep the ‘staff’ on their toes, including putting their own hair in food to complain.
Colin then raises his leg at the table and loudly farts in close-range to the others. The ‘guests’ dry retch and scatter to separate areas of the house. They are not impressed. (Surely this is becoming an OHS issue by now.)
“My stomach feels so much better, bro.”
Vinnie then jokes that Colin should ask for Ed before farting into the staff quarters.

4:52pm - The ‘staff’ are still talking about the boys’ behaviour and specifically name Vinnie as being especially rude earlier.
Ed says: “This is between us but I see where Jane was coming from (last night in her message). He gives way too much life advice for a 21 year old.” They then exchange examples of when Vinnie has overstepped in conversations. “Who do you think you are?”
Ed concludes that “you only get angry if it’s true” and relays that Vinnie’s reaction to Jane calling him fake in her message said it all. “The only reason he got so angry last night was because he knows it’s true.” Ed says Vinnie wants them to believe Jane was overreacting.
They all seem to agree, including Bruce.

5.04pm Coco gets her secret stash of coffee out of her suitcase to share with Bruce. Coco says "Im not silly"
"thats one of the reasons I am in love with you" Bruce says
Coco reminds the audience that it was stolen prior to the task, so they should still get 5 stars.

5:48pm - The HMs have spent the last couple hours between the 'day spa', either being pampered or doing the pampering, and at the bar. Ed has been appointed the 'manager' of the staff and is told by Allana they're not impressed with the attitude of some hotel staff (she doesn't name them to Ed). Ed is unable to hide that the 'staff' are also unimpressed with certain 'guests'. Later, Allana tells the other 'guests' that "it's been noted how annoying the boys are".
As the 'staff' make their way to the kitchen to prepare dinner, Coco asks Bruce: "Y'know who's going to be the biggest critic tonight?" Bruce gives her a "mmhmm" but they don't disclose who they're referring to. "You don't even have to finish that sentence."

6:06pm - Vinnie has been a topic of conversation in the house for his behaviour during the task, and recently in relation to getting the 'staff' to make food he won't eat. Even Abiola mentions that she "won't waste food like Vinnie is planning to".
A few moments before this, Vinnie walked over to the kitchen and requested to order a couple meals but said he didn't want to eat one of them now, which caused Ed to lose his temper a little.
Ed: "Well if you don't want to eat now, don't order it."
Vinnie: "Would you rather me order them both at the same time or one after the other?"
Ed: "Are you going to eat it?"
Vinnie: "Yeahh..... but if I get full..."
Ed: "You're an idiot. Go away. Please."
Vinnie: "No, you're supposed to treat me with five-star level service. Isn't that right, Bruce?"
Bruce doesn't back him and continues to prepare dinner with Ed.
Vinnie tries to get something out of Bruce by saying: "Bruce's service has been good..."
Vinnie realises that Ed, Bruce and Coco (all in the kitchen) are completely ignoring him, so he wanders off to the bedroom. (None of them reply, look up or acknowledge Vinnie, which technically probably goes against the task rules.)

6:10pm - Coco is in the kitchen ranting about Vinnie walking around with half his robe open: "they've gotta wear clothes in a five-star resort, they can't be walking around half naked".

6:50pm - During dinner, the 'guests' are being very particular and critiquing the food. Tensions seem high, especially by Ed.
At one point, Vinnie turns to Ed and says: "Where's my water?" and Ed responds with: "I'm not going to serve you if you talk to the staff like that."
Abiola notes that Vinnie has more food than everyone else. "Why do you have two plates, Vinnie?"
Vinnie smirks: "I got the salmon and then I wanted steak."
Abiola seems a little put off.
A few moments later, Conor compliments how good the salmon looks so asks for one to be cooked for him too, in addition to his steak.
