Water torture

There are few things that make me smile that pure, top of the morning smile. This is a mean old world after all. But the sight of Jen and Bex, the crones, getting splished and sploshed by Mario the zookeeper (and what a perfect outfit for him was that?) was one such sight. In fact every time the music started and another bucket became inevitable, I cackled. I also voted for the first time this series - for Jen, naturellement, five times. Is that excessive? I just don't trust my fellow countrymen and women - poor show on my part I know, but BB voting mistakes of the past can do that to a boy. And the anticipation of seeing Bex and the others of Team Mean horrified and broken by her departure on Friday is also something I would like to see fulfilled. A case of too much information from Lisa/Barry on her bedtime desires re the zookeeper. "It's hard in here because we can't do what we'd like to do to each other" she told BB in the diary room. The nation shuddered with fear as it imagined what she could possibly be talking about. And Luke equals squeaky fun no longer, but snitty malevolence.

Hmmm, reading Digital Spy this morning, Bex has made up with Rex, told Kat she was sorry for upsetting her, admitted she's a "spoilt brat", and told the group that the divide should stop and everybody should try to get on. Doesn't sound like she thinks Rex is going on Friday,does it?

I wonder if when she stares at herself in the mirror and lards even more mascara on to her stubby lashes she feels the weight of public opprobrium buckling the glass. Despite the release of two ‘stories’ in The Sun promoting her victimhood, attitudes seem to be hardening and if she doesn’t walk on Friday – having invested significant funds in ensuring this result - I shall .

(Katreya telling Darnell about the beneficial effect of carrots on both skin and eye sight, Darnell replies ‘Does that mean I’ll wake up tomorrow black and able to see better?’)

Why did any of you ever think that Luke was anything other than a two-faced snake in the grass?

Loving Darnell's sense of humour.

WTF was that conversation about with lisa and mario and the rabbit & maximatosis - it was such a "Brent" moment.

Whenever Dale talks, he reminds me of my 8 year old nephew who gets words confused but is so pretty you fogive him

Mario is getting darker every minute after his tanning session - Reminds me of when I went to a tanning salon in London and then the opera (all male Swan Lake - very good BTW) and at the interval I looked like I was African, although i didnt know it myself, my friends had to tell me in between stares.

Yes, Mario now has the skin tone that Darnell craves.

The links worked well, I see.

Do you think Mario and Lisa packed some Mr Sheen along with all their other cosmetics, for when they reach that perfect mahogany shade? (I was going to make a rude joke about Lisa polishing Mario here, but then I remembered that this is the Times, after all. And there's no Hans Gruber to lower the tone this year, alas.)

Oh ye off little faith Tim, course Jen's on her way out. Just snooping round Digital Spy/The Sun convinces me 'Justice will be served' in our Jen's words directed at Mo only last week HaHaHa. Still, never hurts to put a vote or ten in . . . . .

I'm so glad you're finally with me on Luke. He long ceased to be 'innocent' to me though he does have some classic diary room moments - think the size 12 Bex rolling eyes.

I'm a bit suspicous about Bex starting the a***elicking early. I knew she would start back-tracking pdq but not before J's a goner. Does she know something we don't or is she uncharacteristically perceptive to shifting moods in da House?

The diary room Lisa confession was nearly too much to bear. I really, really, really DON'T want to know their bedroom (or any other room) desires. Especially not based on the things they already do to eachother on national televsion without apparent embarassment. How much worse can it get???

Lingli - I worry the fair Hans G has been scared off by being put on a pedastle. Blaming myself, obvs. *sobs*

[The Stoat]

I'm not so bad at tone-lowering myself, Lingli, though I concede that there are depths of perviness only Hans can plumb. Where IS he, by the way? I can only conclude that either one of the women in the house has reduced him to such paroxysms of self-abuse that he's unable to operate a keyboard or - more likely , I fear - that he's so bored with what's going on in the house he just can't be bothered to post.

You may not be so far off the mark when you talk of polishing Mario: he's now almost exactly the same shade as a 1973 Ford Granada Ghia. I remember this well as in my hard-up teenage days I could earn 25 pence - five bob in real money - for spending the whole of a Sunday afternoon applying a layer of turtle wax to said car, the property of a neighbour. Just wait until you can see Lisa's reflection in Mario's glistening pectoral. Oh momma...
