BB9: Day 66 - Cake Task

Big Brother likes a laugh, so what better way than dressing the Head of House Rachel as a giant cup cake?! It was for Saturday's Cake Task, which was read out by Rachel.

"Housemates," said Rachel, reading the instructions, "for today's Task the housemates must bake iconic London landmarks. One side of the House will tackle Saint Paul's Cathedral whilst the other side will tackle the Millennium Dome."

"Oh ****," said executive chef Rex. "The Millennium Dome is easiest," said Darnell.

"Housemates have four hours to bake each monument from scratch," said Rachel. "As Head of House Rachel will not take part in the Task. She will judge the final monuments on grounds of taste and similarity to the actual monuments."

BB9: Day 66 - Darnell and Sara Fall Out

Sara's storm in a tea cup!

Darnell and Sara have fallen out and it all began over whether or not Darnell would try to sleep with Sara if they shared a bed. Darnell said he had yet again been embarrassed on national TV by Sara after she claimed he would try to make a move.

"Get off my f**king bed now, don’t make me count to ten," Darnell fumed last night, adding that he would now be thought of as the "house perv". Darnell told housemates he was "pissed off" and had been made to look like a fool.

He then spent Saturday morning reliving the story to any housemate who would listen, making Sara come across as the "bad" one in the argument. Meanwhile Sara could only find comfort in Lisa, who told her she had "not done anything wrong". Sara said she would just avoid talking to Darnell while he cooled down.

Darnell asked Rachel when the footage of the incident would be shown and after she replied, told an attentive audience of housemates that he wanted to leave the Big Brother house. Quickly housemates rallied around him to talk him out of leaving the house. During this time Sara had be lying on the sofa, being ignored by Darnell, Rachel and Mohamed.

Looks like Sara and Stuart could be high on the nominations list if Darnell gets his way........

BB9: Day 66 VIDEO - Darnell and Sara In Bedtime Flirt

The 'Love Triangle' is a bit confusing (at least the Dale/Jen/Stu triangle was easier!), Sara flirts with Stu but tells him he's not her type, Stuart just carries on being Stu. Darnell tells Sara that he doesn't fancy her but spends the whole of Saturday moaning about Sara because he thinks she fancies Stu.

The housemates think Sara is leading Darnell on and using him to get to Stuart, but since he says he doesn't fancy her - why worry? Or could it be someone is lying - Does Sara really fancy Stu? Does Darnell really like Sara?

Before it all got way too complicated, Sara and Darnell had a late night heart to heart flirtation. Watch the C4 video below and see if you can work out who likes who!!

*BB official website: www.channel4.com/bigbrother

BB9: Day 66 - Sara Flirts With Stuart

It's a twisted 'Love Triangle' that is doomed from the start after

Sara spent a lot of time flirting with Stuart.

After the housemates had been provided with alcohol following the success of the Superstitious Task , Sara hatched a plan to massage Stu and spent time with him at the smoking area.

She began by quizzing him on what he had said in the Diary Room, asking if she had got a "special mention" and what number she was on his list of favourite people.

Later, she got her necklace wrapped up in her microphone lead and went to sit on his chair so he could sort it out for her.

"You get that, camera," she laughed. "Check it out, it's a bit sexual."

She teased him that his tattoo was "cute but shit" before giving him a hug. However, she was outraged when he patted her on the back."Oh my God, you're not supposed to pat a girl!" she shrieked. "That's the worst insult ever! How embarrassing."Mohamed was unimpressed with Sara's focus on Stuart. "She's leading Darnell on," he told Rex. "Poor sod."


Later Sara told Stu that he does not show her enough affection as they sat talking in the bathroom. Stu said Sara needs to improve on her ability to cheer people up, prompting her to reply that she is good at giving compliments when they are merited.

Sara continued by smilingly saying that Stu is not her type as he is not spontaneous and does not cuddle her enough."I think you are a bit of a loser, that is all," she said, before changing her tune: "No, I don't think you are a loser, I just think that you don't entertain me. I think you could if you really tried, but you don’t want to."

Stu said he has been a little preoccupied over the past weeks, citing the divide, the task, his jail term, and being nominated as things which have been on his mind.

Having left the bath, Stu suggested they go to the bedroom and hugged Sara as they left the bathroom to display he was able to show affection.

Whispering in the darkened dorm, Stu told Sara he said in the Diary Room that she was "borderline insane", adding that he meant it in a good way.

BB9: Day 65 VIDEO - Dale's Best Bits

Dale was evicted from the Big Brother house, much to the sadness of all his female fans. But he provided the nation with 65 days of entertainment, so here are Dale's 'Best Bits' - as seen on Channel 4.

BB9: Day 65 - Dale Evicted From Big Brother

Dale became the eighth housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house after losing the head to head eviction with fellow beefcake Stuart.

With 63% of the vote, Dale left the house to give his views of life within the BB9 house.

BB9: Day 65 - Superstitious Task

In the Superstition Task - Dale and Stuart had to put superstitions to the test as the powers of good luck and bad luck went head-to-head. Dale and Stuart both faced eviction in this week's public vote.

Friday the 8th of the 8th month in the year 2008 is supposedly the luckiest date in the Chinese Calendar, but for one housemate it would spell the end of their stay in the Big Brother House.

Both housemates had to go through an obstacle course that included crossing someone on the stairs, putting new shoes on the table, opening umbrellas indoors, spilling salt, walking under ladders, stepping on the cracks in crazy paving and smashing mirrors.

The housemate who completed the most circuits of the unlucky obstacle course in 30 minutes could accumulate the most bad karma and be evicted this week.

*BB official website: www.channel4.com/bigbrother

BB9: Day 65 - Darnell Heads Towards Final

Darnell is a a lot happier as this weeks Big Brother eviction looms, either Dale or Stuart will be evicted tonight and even though Darnell couldn't nominate - two of the people that don't make up "Happy House" are up for the chop.

As Darnell heads towards the final, he's in a more confident mood after listening to housemates discuss who would make the final six. Kat, Rachel and Michael are all set to make it and Darnell is more sure he will be there as well. If Dale is evicted tonight, Stuart, Lisa, Sara and Mo are heading towards relegation. Rex and Nicole will either walk out of the house or kill each other and that leaves Darnell in a good position for a three way final race for the £100,000 prize on September 5th.

Now you can understand why Darnell smiles when he sees people arguing - it increases his chances of staying in the BB9 house and maybe, just maybe he could have the final laugh and win Big Brother.

BB9: Day 64 - Mohamed Complains About Shoes

Mohamed asked for sandals and got them - even if they were bright pink with matching socks, but Mo is still not happy.

Big Brother has forced Mo to wear the shoes at all times around the house and he went into the Diary Room to have a rant.

"I'm not well," snapped Mohamed. "I need to take these shoes off. I feel like I'm gonna break my leg every time I walk in them and my toes are killing me."

"Have you asked any of your female housemates how they cope with strappy sandals?" asked Big Brother.

"I've got fat feet," replied Mohamed with a humph.

"Big Brother thinks they look very fetching," added the voice, before agreeing to help Mohamed out: "Big Brother will provide gel insoles and blister plasters." "Excuse me?" asked Mohamed barely able to believe what he'd heard. "How the hell can I make them more comfortable?"

"Have you considered an alternative walking style," asked Big Brother.

"Are you taking the ****?" snarled an angry Mohamed before laughing maniacally, audibly breaking wind and leaving the Diary Room in a huff.

BB9: Day 64 - Rachel Buys Back Suitcases

Rachel's had a busy week as Head of House, even getting off the fence and making tough decisions. Today she showed her compassionate side once again as she bought back Nicole, Mo and Kat's suitcases as part of the Shopping Budget.

Costing £20 each, she told housemates they would be on a bit more of a basic food budget following the expensive purchase. Nicole smiled and rushed to hug Rachel: "Oh my goodness I'm getting my suitcase! I'm so happy! Thank you so much, Rachel." Rex also hugged the Head of House, while Mo remained lying on the sofas.

The suitcases will be delivered with the Luxury Shopping Budget later this evening.

BB9: Day 64 - Stuart Sent To Jail

Big Brother has sent Stuart to jail for talking about nominations. Although several housemates have been talking about voting, Stuart was thrown into jail by Big Brother.

Summoned to the Diary Room, a severe sounding Big Brother re-read his comments
:
"You said 'Lise will be a target next week.' Later at 7.16pm you said 'I was thinking right, trying to desperately add up who could have gone for Lise. I thought you and me do not have enough. I was trying to work people out. I know Rachel would have done it for us. Rex, Mo would have done it anyway. Who else?'"

Stuart looked surly as he listened to his own words being read back to him. "I thought 'cause it's already been done though, it doesn't matter," said Stuart lamely. But Big Brother wasn't having any of it, and told him to proceed straight to jail.

"Oh for God's sake," sighed Stuart. "My last night in jail.. " Talking to Lisa he said, "I don't get how that's breaking the rules anyway, saying me, Dale, you and Sara are targets."

"That's probably because the other group's more cliquey, isn't it?" mused Lisa, thinking about the nominations. "They've formed a group."

"Even Kat said last night," agreed Dale. "Everybody knows, like." Dale and Darnell discussed Stuart's time in Jail saying he must be staying in the house because Big Brother wouldn't put him in Jail if he was leaving the house.

BB9: Day 64 - Housemates Deal With Erections!

Darnell "it's this long" ..... honestly!
Dale rearranges himself during this weeks Shopping Task.



The lads in the Big Brother house have been talking about erections, as they have to deal with waking up each day inside the house unable to have sex or find much 'relief' with all the cameras around.

Even Rachel told Big Brother in the Diary Room how difficult it was to get the boys out of bed in the mornings because of their erections.

Darnell confessed to Sara that he kept getting erections after their long hugs, no matter what time of day it was. He said he was starting to struggle inside the house and told housemates, "I don't want to be walking around on TV with a boner." Sara offered Darnell some words of comfort, Sara assured him. "Dude, you've been in the House for nearly three months. It's gonna happen. Is this all it is? I'm not even shocked."

BB9: Day 64 PICTURES - Housemates Jump Into Pool With Clothes On

Heavenly housemates decided to take a dip in the Big Brother pool but thought it would be better to leave their clothes on. First Sara got thrown in then Lisa jumped in and Darnell quickly followed behind. Eventually Dale and Stuart were in the pool fully clothed and persuaded Mo to belly flop into the pool.

Dale ended up taking his top off and screaming after the housemates joked a moth was on his t-shirt. The antics got more naughtier in the Luxury Bedroom as housemates whipped off Darnell's towel, only to discover he was naked underneath. The 26 year old had to pull down his t-shirt to save his dignity, although viewers got a glimpse of his testicles briefly.

Nicole told him she wanted to leave the Big Brother house and Rex replied, "If you leave, I will leave too." The couple have been arguing ever since she entered the house and crying she told Rex, "I want to go home." He replied "You need to sleep, you're tired".

As the couple tried to make it up with each other, a sobbing Nicole said, "you've made me look like a f**king b**ch." As Rex questioned her, Nicole repeatedly said , "I'm not allowed to say".

BB9: Day 63 - Hell Punished With Washing Up

Yesterday Rachel was told off by Big Brother for washing up some dishes. They told her Hell were responsible for doing all the washing up and as Head of House, she washed up "at her peril".

Rachel had told Big Brother in the Diary Room to do do their worst as she was going to continue washing up. This evening Big Brother called her back to the Diary Room to read out the instructions.

"Right," said Rachel reading from the Laminate. "Big Brother would like to offer housemates from Hell the opportunity to win two hours of hot water."

"In the Store Room is a trolley full of dirty crockery," continued Rachel. "Housemates from Hell must thoroughly clean each and every item of crockery taking special care to ensure complete removal of the word peril."

As soon as she read the word 'peril' a look of damning realisation spread across her face.

"Well done Rachel, you're so kind," jeered Rex, clapping his hands. Nicole, Michael and Kathreya then set about washing up the shopping trolley full of dirty dishes. No-one gets away with trying to out smart Big Brother!

Stuart said he wanted to go on Friday so he could watch the show and see housemates turn on each other as the £100,000 prize would cause friends to change as the final drew near.


Darnell predicted stuff would kick off as fewer people were in the house. He said he would like to see Rachel win BB9. Sara said she would love to see Mickey win, although she loves Kat as well.Stuart said he'd like Michael to win as he was funny.

Most housemates agreed that Kathreya was the favourite and Michael was second favourite. Sara predicted that Rex and Nicole would be in the final six. They also greed that they (Stu, Dale, Sara, Lisa) wouldn't be in the final but Kathreya, Michael, Rachel, Mohamed, Rex and Nicole would probably make up the final six.

BB9: Day 63 - Michael Almost Walked During Task

Michael told Kathreya of the time he almost walked out of the big Brother house. Being "interviewed" by Kat he said he'd thought about walking out after being forced to cycle through the night in the French Task a few weeks ago.

He continued, ""We were in Hell and that week in Hell was quite grim. We were lying in bed every day in the afternoon because we were low in energy and then we had to do this cycling. That was the first time I thought I’d had enough as there was no food, everybody was just starting to bicker and you could just tell that everything was going to kick off."

Big Brother had saved the day by providing packed lunches for the housemates until the shopping budget arrived.

BB9: Day 63 - Rachel Rebels Doing Washing Up

Head of House Rachel was ready to get rebellious, defying Big Brother's request NOT to wash up. Instead she told Big Brother in the Diary Room to "Throw me your worst punishment!"

She had been summoned to the Diary Room for washing a few bowls. "They're just trying to wind me up," said Rachel as she returned to the Living Area after her telling off. "I told them to get my punishment ready, because I'm going to carry on," she added with a look of triumph. But some of the other housemates were convinced that Rachel defying Big Brother would have consequences for all of them.

"They said it's at my own peril, not you guys," said Rachel reassuringly, before curiously adding, "and they said the rules can change at any time." Will Rachel be punished?
