Just before the first of tonight’s Big Brother, Davina announced in a Big Brother preview, “Some say money can’t buy you happiness, but can it buy you friends?” Mmmmmhhh. Interesting!
When the program started, she explained that one of the housemates will receive £100,000 tonight! And they will all be led to believe that it’s the prize money that has been given away so there is nothing left for the eventual winner of the show. Sneaky.
But first the highlights…
- Charley sang, well, screeched that song from the Mercedes Benz advert, “Worked hard all my lifetime”. Luckily, I had the irony detection gizmo in my telly turned off otherwise I imagine it would gone into overload and probably burst into flames.
- Billi discussed trying to get it on with Chanelle with Charley. Booooooo!
- Charley moaned in the diary room about the fact that the swimming task had turned her hair into one big tangled up dreadlock.
- Nicky had her ear to the bathroom door and overheard Gerry moaning about her. Run! Gerry! Run!
- Nicky was moaning at Jonathan about something or other for a change and he said, “I have got a big gob, but I’m not a pervert!”
In the last five minutes of the first show, Davina came back on. Time for the twist, hurrah!
The camera switched to live feed revealing all the housemates gathered in the living room and Big Brother announced, “Housemates, in the diary room is £100,000. Big Brother will get back to you.”
So we have to wait for the second half for the action. Talk about dragging it out!
Back for part deux. Is it time for the twist yet? Is it? Is it? Oh more highlights, goody…
- Seány stuffed Gerry’s cuddly toy monkey, Freddy, into a condom. Gerry responded by throwing Seány’s hat into the swimming pool.
Gerry: “If you think it’s fine to put a condom on my bear, I think it’s fine to put your hats in the water. You have to understand what is funny. Now my bear smells of condom lube. I love my bear, and now he smells of lube.”
Seány: “Your bear was asking for it.”
Gerry: “Don’t push me! Are you going to find it a joke when I put spunk on your clothes?”
Seány: “Enjoy your last night of freedom with Freddy – his arse is mine.”
Gerry: “You will find your clothes in the oven. Let’s see how you will react if I burn your leprechaun.”
Adverts. Back with almost live feed now. Carole is arguing about a towel. Back in the studio, Davina says, “Er, hello? There’s £100,000 in the diary room and you’re arguing about towels?”
And finally! Carole, Jonathan and Seány are called to the diary room. They are told that they are not eligible for the money because they are up eviction but they have to choose who it goes to. Carole thinks Ziggy. Seány thinks Laura. Jonathan can’t decide but he doesn’t want Laura to get it. They choose… LIAM! Carole is given the job of announcing the winner.
Back with the rest of the housemates, Carole announces, ”We had a minute to decide, and we’ve chosen Liam.”
On hearing that he was now a hundred grand richer, Liam managed to remain stoic… for at least a whole second but then started crying like a girl. Aaaaaaahhhh, bless.
Now, I don’t know if the twist needed two half hour shows with an hour break inbetween but, it is a good idea although it will probably be a bit of a slow burner. Of course, all the housemates are going to say they are alright with the money going to Liam and that they are only in Big Brother for the experience but… well, they are Big Brother housemates. Would you really believe any of them any further then you could throw them?
