BB5 - Week 9 - The penultimate week

After Victor left, Jason was the favourite to follow. Unbeknownst to the housemates they were all up for eviction from the Friday. Following a game of Celebrity Guess Who? The housemates lost and saved £3000 trying to guess the identity of a celebrity each, through ten questions. Jason wanted to leave the house, as he didn’t like the remaining housemates who he thought brown-nosed each other. Thinking he would be most likely to go, he said he would stay until Friday, but kept his group integration to a minimum. Dan, before entering the house, had said he didn’t want to win and would walk in the final week. He continued to consider this, and weighing it up against disappointing all his fans.

This week’s weekly task meant housemates were to be chained to each other depending on weight. Thus the heaviest male – Dan, was chained to Nadia who was the heaviest female. They elected to be chained at the ankle. Michelle was chained to Jason at the wrist and Stu was chained to Shell at the waist. Housemates had to sleep together, and were only separated for 10mins before bed and first thing in the morning to shower. They were allowed to separate to go to the loo and the Diary Room. Apart from that they had to apply make-up, moisturiser and clean the teeth of their partner. Each pair took it in turns to prepare meals each day for the group. Michelle was not happy at Stu being chained to someone else. She constantly tried to cuddle and kiss him whilst Jason was in the Dairy Room, whilst Shell politely looked the other way. She was nicknamed the Bunny Boiler in the press and her constant insecurity and need for attention from Stu grated on the nation, so that she was rapidly overtaking Jason as favourite to leave, according to the bookies. Housemates had to complete various tasks whilst as pairs such as pottery and typing. At the end they passed, and as a special treat got to see massages from home on the video screen. Much to Michelle’s mortification, Stu’s mates hinted at a mystery lady after his phone number. She threatened (jokingly) to kill them if they set him up with anyone. Thus her fate was sealed with the public, if it had not already been so. Come Friday, the housemates had had no feedback from Big Brother so did not know if they were all up for the public vote or not, or what was happening. They got the suitcases on Friday afternoon and were told to pack, but did not know for sure until Davina confirmed it to them, a few seconds before Michelle’s name was announced. Michelle left the house on Friday. During her interview with Davina, she admitted to being a jealous person, but said her comments were jokes. She refused to comment on whether she and Stu had sex in the house.

At the end of the show Davina announced that all housemates could now be voted for, to win. There would be a mid-week eviction for the one with the lowest number of votes on Wednesday.
