That article is full of so many inaccuracies I gave up even trying to list them! It is obviously written from a US perspective - and only the most naive of viewers will believe the stuff the article suggests the whole of Britain are discussing. Viewers are clear that Anthony is straight and Craig is nothing short of a psychopath (looking after a drunken Anthony involved stripping him to his pants, not allowing any other HM near him and jumping on top of him hugging him and kissing him everytime he passed out! BB had to intervene to stop Craig!).

WARNING: ADULT REFERENCES MORE ON THIS AT: http://bigbrother.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds8461.html Same old routine again - but finally Anthony has stood up to Craig, and Craig didn't like it at all! And what did it take - the spillage of beer of course! Now this incident all relates back to Monday night and after a few drinks too many, Kinga decided to have intimate relations with a wine bottle in the garden as Anthony and Craig looked on in disgust! Well, after Friday's eviction Kinga was discussing it in the lounge with Craig and Anthony and suggested that Craig had egged her on. Craig denied this (to be fair, he hadn't) while Anthony didn't say anything, but when asked directly he stated she hadn't been egged on. After Kinga left the room Craig attacked Anthony for not defending him and instead just sitting their looking gormless. Anthony said he thought Craig was perfectly capable of defending himself, to which Craig reacted with a few childish grunts, with Anthony then strongly defending himself. Craig then "hoyed" a bottle of beer at Anthony, which Anthony replied never to do that again and stormed out. Craig cried as usual, while Anthony went into the bedroom fuming. Later, he joined Makosi in the pool. Craig walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water and then headed to the pool saying he didn't "hoy" the beer at Anthony - then through the water at him to demonstrate how he would "hoy" something at him, before angrily smashing the glass on the lawn. Anthony didn't take to this to well and quite rightly put Craig in his place. BB called Craig to the diary room to tell him his actions were inappropriate, with Craig denying he'd be violent. And we then get the usual routine. Craig cries, Craig says Anthony is in the wrong, Craig says Anthony is trying to make it look like Craig is in the wrong, Craig expects Anthony to apologise! Craig claims his friendship with Anthony is now over (lucky Anthony!). He believes it's obvious that Anthony is in the wrong and tells Makosi that sometimes he's made to feel that he's losing it by being blamed for these events! And that's just Saturdays show - they'll be more in Sundays. I turned on to the live stream this morning to yet another argument - with Craig once again storming out crying. They hadn't spoken for much of the morning, with Makosi trying to get Anthony to apologise to end this. And that's the main problem. Ever fight between these two has been Craig's fault - and everytime Anthony is the one to apologise. If only Anthony had stood up to him the first time, I don't think we'd have this situation! Well, a clear statement will be made this week when Craig finishes 5th and Anthony (probably) wins. I just hope Davina gives Craig the hard time he deserves and makes it 100% clear that he was in the wrong!

Guess who the latest unlucky housemate was? Makosi, of course! Makosi entered an innocent looking gingerbread house but once inside the door locked and the walls crumbled away to reveal a cage, which was then hoisted into the air. Kinga was the first person to be given the chance to free Makosi. Her choice was cigarettes or Makosi. She chose the fags, and Makosi stayed put. Next in was Craig who took the fast food takeaway on offer, leaving Makosi in the cage for another 30 minutes. Anthony then took less than two seconds to answer the question "Beer or Makosi?" Beer, quite obviously. Eugene though was the man to free Makosi by refusing scones - fearing Makosi would remain their overnight if he'd said yes. However, he did subsequentially fear Big Brother might have something even more evil up it's sleeve as a consequence of his actions. The HMs were then given the key to free Makosi, though not before considering the prospect of leaving her in their overnight!

Nominations Monday, annouced (to HMs and viewers on Tuesdays), Evictions Fridays. If your thinking of following it now though your a bit late - it's the final this coming Friday!

It's the final week and viewers are now voting for the winner. Here are the odds: Anthony 4/9 Eugene 7/4 Makosi 14/1 Kinga 25/1 Craig 40/1 Anthony is the clear favourite, but Eugene has closed in on him from 6/1. Makosi also began the week at 6/1, but now drifted to 14/1. Craig is the clear outsider - it's just a shame we'll have to put up with him until Wednesday when the HM in fifth place will be evicted - probably in some hideously evil way!

Now prepare to be shocked - tonight the evictee got cheered - and I mean really cheered, getting probably the best response since last year's finalists! However, they did get booed when Davina read out the voting numbers, but the crowd remained strangly silent during the announcement. And the second shock - tonight's result wasn't a shock! Derek got the boot with 58% of the vote. Before leaving the house he made a speech to the HMs saying a winner was amongst them and he hoped they would get what they were looking for. As he exited the house he got a fantastic response and he loved it. However, he didn't stick to his word and walk straight past Davina! It was a very good interview which was quite funny in parts. He insisted he didn't want to win (yeah, whatever!) or didn't want to be PrimeMinister. He did however invite all the audience to his birthday on Tuesday. So that leaves Anthony, Craig, Eugene, Kinga and Makosi in the final week to battle it out for the

BBUK pretty much follows the original Big Brother format that BBUSA followed in it's first season - though obviously it has developed alot, especially over the last couple of years which has seen much tougher, "EVIL" challenges and a huge number of twists. Basically, each HM must nominate two people for eviction each week. The two or more HMs with the most votes then face the public vote to determine who is evicted. HMs are not permitted to discuss nominations. Discussing nominations usually results in that HM not being able to nominate - though the first offense this series led to BB putting all HMs up for eviction. There are further tasks throughout the week. The main task is to determine the food budget and runs throughout the week. We also have the Saturday Challenge which offers rewards - and new this year has been "Secret Missions", in which individual HMs can win things ranging from alcohol for the night to Immunity from eviction by completing missions set by Big Brother without the other HMs detecting.

Kinga actually didn't get a single nomination. Anthony, Craig and Makosi all nominated Derek and Eugene - with Anthony honest enough to say he just doesn't want them to win. Derek nominated Anthony and Craig, Eugene nominated Anthony and Makosi while Kinga nominated Craig and Makosi - though BB wouldn't accept Makosi evicting her from the secret garden as a valid reason as it didn't happen "in the house".

Anthony is still the clear favourite, while new HM Kinga enters the market in fourth place with just ten days to go. WINNER Anthony 4/9 Craig 16/1 Derek 11/1 Eugene 5/1 Kinga OR Any Other 10/1 Makosi 7/1 Derek and Eugene face eviction this week, with the Dark Deceiver odds on to go (at the moment!). It's worth noting though that this year more than any other the odds on who will be evicted have changed numerous times throughout the week - and the bookies have been wrong on a number of occassions! EVICTEE Derek 4/11 Eugene 15/8

The final nominations are in - and Derek and Eugene are up for the chop! This means Kinga has passed her secret mission and won immunity as at least one HM did not nominate her. Looking back on nominations this year - they weren't as interupted as last year though there were just a few weeks where nominations went to plan. Week 1: Makosi won immunity by getting the most nominations - then had to choose the real nominees. Week 2: All HMs up for eviction as Vanessa discussed nominations Week 3: Craig, Derek and Roberto not called to diary room to nominate due to discussing nominations - with their discussion of Saskia being shown to all in the lounge Week 5: Makosi won immunity through the secret garden mission. Anthony and Maxwell weren't allowed to nominate due to discussing nominations. Week 7: The best twist of the series. As part of the two lies BB told HMs, the HMs were told nominations were optional. Only Anthony, Craig and Kemal nominated - and they were told they were up for eviction. However, this was a lie with the other six HMs up - and the top two voted for by the public facing a final showdown with their fellow HMs deciding who is evicted - in front of each other! Week 10: New HM Kinga won immunity by getting at least one HM not to nominate her.

Behind Big Brother is now reporting that Big Brother Australia has been axed and will not return next year. This series has had the lowest ratings of all five BB series. http://www.behindbigbrother.com/showarticl...p?articleID=420

Thanks for your response Hanklee, though I think you've swallowed in too many of the production teams justification. Firstly, regarding the Liars Eviction. Yes - the criteria was set, but regardless of opinion on whether this criteria was fair, I still say the liars eviction was completly unfair. The producers knew exactly who was lying before the show began (Dean even spent lockdown with his girlfriend - but then again the producers knew about this!). The auditions process should eliminate any so called liars - and once in the house, everyone should be treated as equals. The producers effectively decided the first nominees - and the way they treated Dean as a second class housemate until the moment he was evicted was disgusting. Secondly - the friction. I think it's quite fair to say that selecting housemates that get on isn't a success. For the show to be successful, there needs to be friction. In the US this is done through the format of HGs selecting alliances and the competition throughout - while in the UK it's generally down to selecting a diverse group of people, some of which producers know won't get on - along with a few twists thrown in to test friendships. The Aussie producers failed on all these counts. The HGs on the whole were very mainstream Australian, and the producers have done nothing to test relationships. As for the twins - it was the production that caused this twist to fail. Last year the US producers did it very well, only swapping every few days and giving them 15 minutes to share information. The Aussies tried to do it at least once a day, giving them just 3 or 4 minutes to share info. The main problem though is there wasn't a "Plan B" for if they were found out. BB just paniced and really didn't know what to do - just confirming the suspicion of the HMs. At the time all the fans said that by failing to keep their swapping mission a secret, one twin should be evicted. It took producers a full two months to realise this - stating it was clear now the twins had an advantage acting as "one housemate". They should have predicted this would happen. The final negative thoughts - Friday Night Live. At 90 minutes it's far too long, and the Reward Room being the same week in week out is plain boring. When we had the reward room in series 4 it changed each week - and as a result, worked quite well. A couple of positives though. The "-3pts" nominations twist has worked well - and virtually all scenarios have been covered, with sometimes the winner unable to save themselves or putting themselves up for eviction by saving someone else. The fines system has also worked well - but all rumours suggest BB is going to completly ruin this twist by turning around and giving the winner the full $1m anyway.

Kinga is BACK! Even though there are just 12 days to go the rejected HM from the secret garden has been bought in to replace Orlaith, who quit yesterday. Kinga entered the secret garden along with Eugene and Orlaith on Day 29, only to be evicted three days later when Makosi got to determine which two garden-dwellers moved into the main house (see p3). Kinga is eligible to nominate and be nominated tomorrow. She is also eligble to win. Kinga entered the house via the diary room, where she was set a Secret Mission. As it is highly likely all the HMs will nominate her, Kinga will win immunity if ONE housemate (or more) DOES NOT nominate her tomorrow. If she is successful it means she'll automatically face the public vote to determine the winner. BB had to explain this to Kinga twice - and along with host Davina, I still don't think she understood. Reactions were interesting. While she was in the diary room Derek was waiting to go in, so when the light went green he went in and got the shock of his life when fronted by Kinga. First impressions were he liked her. She completly blanked Eugene at first, though Makosi was happy to see her again. Anthony was nothing but nice to her, as was Craig at first but as soon as her back was turned, he stated that he didn't think it was fair putting someone in now (for once, I agree with him.) Quite funny actually when Kinga said she was nervous but be fine in a couple of days with Craig replying they'd all be gone by then! And within an hour I've been reminded of why I hated Kinga so much. All the "we'll do this", "we'll do that" with Kinga intending to be the centre of attention! Having said that though, I do hope she avoids eviction this week and Derek goes instead! She has also given the house a much needed boost - but I still think letting her in is far too kind of EVIL BB - though admitedly EVIL to those still in there! I do think though it's wrong to send someone in at this late stage - they had enough HMs in have at least three in the final - and more importantly, if she is evicted on Friday it will be at the expense of someone the HMs and the fans really want out by the final week (a.k.a. Derek!). P.S. It's being reported today that a big task was axed yesterday following Orlaith's departure. BB had been planning on constructing a Gingerbread house in the garden last night and enticing one housemate into it. However, once the housemate was in it the walls would have collapsed to reveal it was in fact a cage, which would then have been winched into the air. The other housemates would then have had the chance to get their fellow housemate out of the cage - OR enjoy luxuries such as chocolates, cigars and alcohol as the unlucky HM remained locked in the cage suspended above the garden! Sounds good, and hopefully they'll get the chance to do it. It sounds similar to the challenge from Celeb BB where Caprice found a secret room which was then raised into the air.

Just wondering Hanklee what you think of the series this year. I've followed the Aussie version quite closely the last three years but completly lost interest in this years series about half way through. The producers have shown very little imagination and many of the tasks are just rehashes of previous events. And apart from the usual "Intruders" and Double Eviction, there hasn't been any decent twists. The Liars Eviction in week 1 just shouldn't have happened - and the twins eviction was done two months too late!

Orlaith has now walked after being saved by the public last night. Makosi said last night she'd follow her and this morning both her and Craig have said they'll quit if a replacement is brought in. Having lost Kemal and Orlaith in the space of 12 hours Makosi is now walking around the house dressed from head to ankle in black - and ankle to toe green stilletos! This leave five in the house with two weeks to go - so plenty really. It'll be four in the final week, though if the planned surprise eviction goes ahead in the final week we'll have three rather than the usual four on the final day - which will make for a better show IMO.

This week Kemal and Orlaith went head to head. Initially Kemal was slight favourite to go, but following his secret mission by the odds changed and by today Orlaith was odds on to be evicted. Davina tells us th voting is close (funny, it never seems to be clear!) The pre-eviction highlights feature Anthony's hangover and crucially as the lines close, his argument with Kemal over the shopping, with Kemal refusing to do it in the sick-stinking living room - then exposing himself as the double agent and saying he's responsible for winning the food budget. Other highlights see Derek reluctantly return to the house after his night in solitary confinement - telling a few lies about being able to watch the HMs. Makosi tells Anthony about the HMs having to keep Craig away from him last night - under instructions from BB - something Craig denies to Anthony and then goes on to call all the HMs arseholes. So on to the eviction - The ninth housemate to be evicted is... KEMAL So Orlaith survives eviction three weeks on the run - and this is by far her toughest test. Strange how a newcomer has never survived an eviction vote for five series, then in series 6 Orlaith survives three on the trot. Not as close as last week (in % term at least) - but still close - Kemal got 51.1%. Kemal got probably the best reception so far from the crowd (though some idiots still booed regardless) - but he wasn't happy about being evicted over Orlaith. I thought it was a disapointing interview, though not on Kemal's part. They touched on Makosi and Derek (though not his original dislike of him) - but the bulk of the interview was about Kemal's sexuality. For the first time this series though the evictee was reunited with their friends and family as Kemal's parents joined him on stage - with Kemal saying "This isn't the last you've seen of me!" with Davina looking on as if to say "Whatever!" With two weeks to go no twist was revealed to next weeks nominations (last year all HMs were put up) - but I suspect there will be a twist, possibly to the Saturday Challenge, which will see one HM guarantee themselves a place in the final week. And as for Orlaith, she now says she'll walk tomorrow at 9am. Even if she does walk, BB will probably want to keep her in till BBLB on Sunday - then Kemal will have to spend his week on BBLB with the "skanky bitch"! Brilliant!

When I read the police received a number of calls during the infamous "Fight Night" last year, I was horrified at the over-reaction. Again with Scabgate this year, while I thought it was just a disgusting white lie, others phoned the police. Well, tonight I nearly picked up the phone myself! Tonight's extended show centered on the Double Agent twist - but it was completly overshadowed by a drunk Geordie! Anthony was pissed! Incredibly pissed! However, it's not his actions that disturbed me at all - it's that of his friend Craig. Craig wouldn't leave him alone, following him everywhere and not letting others help (he thinks he's the only person capable to handle a drunken friend!). Once he'd got Anthony down to his pants, he kept smothering him hugging him, kissing him and jumping on top of him every five minutes not letting him out of his sights. BB had asked Eugene to keep an eye on Anthony and he tried too - but Craig was more the problem. The HMs agreed Anthony's main problem was Craig, but Eugene's attempts at telling Craig to leave him alone didn't work. Anthony snapped (quite rightly) at Craig a couple of times to leave him alone - and when he tried to get some piece in the Diary Room Craig followed him in (with Eugene following to get Craig out) and wouldn't leave until BB asked him. Cue the line of the series when Anthony asked if he could be sick in the diary room - "Big Brother would rather you were not!" Anthony returned to the living room and passed out - with Craig then jumping on top of him again. He woke up as Craig and Eugene attempted to move him to the bedroom, but despite Anthony saying he could walk, Craig refused to let him. Then the funniest moment when Craig puts him too bed - he puts him in his bed, not Anthony's! Craig leaves the room briefly (though he'll return to "watch him all night") when Anthony then tries to entice Makosi over to join him! Unfortunately she didn't! I'd have loved to have seen Craig's face if she had! Now a couple of weeks ago here after the Eric vs Michael incidents the question was raised "What is sexual harrassment?" Well, if this isn't I don't know what is! EVICT THE BUNNY BOILER! P.S. This cartoon sums it up really: http://www.thesun.co.uk/popupWindow...5340357,00.html And even the official website is now referring to Craig as a "bunny boiler"!

Not quite what was reported, but I suspect this is the rumoured "Operation Kidnap" I mentioned earlier. Also a complete surprise - just wasn't expecting that. Derek returned to the house this afternoon with a laminate explaining this week's real task was for the "Double Agent" to remain unidentified. As they had incorrectly named Derek as the double agent, the group have passed the task. They all tried to find out who the double agent was, but BB reminded them a good spy never tells their secrets. However, Derek's been telling a few porkies. He claimed the room he stayed in was decked out like his own bedroom (as if they'd believe that) and that he's been watching them all on screens. Craig, Anthony and Orlaith don't believe a word of it though!

Stupid question I know, and stupid if someone did it, but is there a rule which actually prevents the HoH from nominating themselves?

He's still in there! The HMs are split over whether he's been evicted - but they are being careful about what they say in case he's listening in! I imagine tonight's (Thursdays) show will be extended to cover events (last night's was also extended). And as for Anthony - drunk is an understatement. Craig getting creepier though - when Anthony did get to sleep Craig (who I think was relatively sober) decided to jump into bed with him to make sure he was alright. BB had to call him to the diary room to get him out of the bed! P.S. Pictures at Digital Spy: http://bigbrother.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds8332.html

Yet another twist in the tale... Today the HMs had to take on secret identities (hidden around the house) and attend the Ambassador's Ball. However, their evening was interupted when they were informed there was a secret agent amongst them. The spies were then each given the opportunity to defend themselves and explain why they are not the double agent. The spies were then each asked to reveal who they thought was the double agent and sent them to the diary room - with Kemal hoping his name didn't come up. If the HMs identified him as the spy, this weeks task is failed! The spies voted as follows: Anthony: Eugene Craig: Derek Derek: Makosi Eugene: Kemal Kemal: Derek Makosi: Eugene Orlaith: Eugene However, despite Eugene having the most votes after some arguments the group sent Derek off to the diary room to discover his fait They haven't seen him since! He's been locked in a secret bunker which contains magazines, secret documents and a phone. He will return to the house tomorrow - but speculation is rife that he has been evicted, especially as it occured shortly after 10pm - the time of most evictions!

It's never been a mixed age range though - generally it's a group of 12 twenty and thirty somethings and one token 50+ contestant. I'd rather they are in there on merit, not to fit the age demographics!

Last night Double Agent Kemal got a message from the garden gnomes through Morse Code. The demonic eyes of one of the garden residents flashed to reveal the word "Liar". Kemal was then told he could interogate one of the other Secret Agents with three questions of his choice and activate a listening device in the toilet with the secret codeword. Yes, the toilet television from week 2 has returned! Kemal chose Makosi and listened in as Makosi said some housemates still hadn't figured out her secret missions, saying she could work for MI5. She was also pleased she had managed to figure out the other HMs secret missions. She denied she had lied other than to cover her secret missions (except about virginity, pregnancies and abortions!). When asked about how her secret missions had hindered her relationships she said she felt though Kemal saw her as a friend, he didn't see her as a contestant and was worried the friendship would be lost when he discovered she wasn't an actress. After emerging from the toilet with the cover story of a nasty rash, Kemal rushed to the diary room to express his delight that Makosi isn't a mole. He then covered his tracks by saying how BB had been asking him strange questions recently. Makosi did though directly ask him if he was on a secret mission. He denied this and said he had in fact asked for one as everyone else had had one!

Good to know these posts don't go unread. To those of you who are following this thread, I would love to know more of your thoughts. As for this week's losers in the popularity contest - well, no one seems to like Kemal or Orlaith enough to want them to stay, so they are up for eviction this week!

Ever get the impression you are talking to yourself? Kemal has had his suspicions that Makosi is a mole since virtually week one - and his suspicions have almost broken their friendship. Well, today Kemal went to the diary room and discovered which housemate really is working for Big Brother - him! As part of this week's challenge he will be a secret double agent, taking directions from Brother, Big Brother. He will be set his own secret missions and challenges which must be completed without raising the suspicions of his other housemates - and will be responsible for passing this week's task. Meanwhile, the other housemates have been set the mission of becoming Secret Agents and must undergoing rigorous training, firstly learning Morse Code to crack a secret message from Brother, Big Brother.
