BB11: First Big Brother 11 Argument Erupts

Day 6: Someone has turned up the heat in the Big Brother house, and it can only lead too tears, especially in this case as onions are involved! According to the official website: "As Ben put it nicely, 'Oniongate' has been the topic of tension tonight. During the evening meal, Ben helped himself to some onions to spice his meal up. Govan witnessed the event and began to voice his opinion when he saw Dave follow suit.

As the dinner table was being cleaned, Dave and Govan took to the Living Area where Dave sought an explanation to the words he had heard Govan say. Ben tried to diffuse the situation, but it soon erupted into a full blown argument.

Dave accused Govan of being disrespectful as he claims he heard Govan say 'Dave jumped on the back of Ben having onions knowing he shouldn't have' and went on to say 'if I was you Govan, I would sit back and apologise'.

Govan could not hide his frustration any more and exploded into rage, retorting 'don't assume what I said... I don't need to explain myself anymore'

'Oniongate' has spilled over into an argument surrounding Sunshine and most notably, Govans involvement in the group voting her as the Mole on Day 4.

After the first ripples of the onion argument began to settle, a wave of anger washed over Govan as he was suddenly accused of 'playing games' and 'manipulating' the group into voting Sunshine as the House Mole.

Govan pleaded his innocence barking 'I'm sorry you think I'm some sort of devious monster Dave but if you think I was playing games, that really offends me'.

Dave responded 'my take is that you were playing games as many people in this House do play games, but I don't want us to fall out over this'."

BB11: Nominations Twist

Get ready for a twist in Big Brother nominations this week, according to the official website as housemates took part in their first ever nominations, they are in for a surprise later today. One of the nominated housemates will then be given the chance to save themselves and choose someone else to take their place.

So how will it work? The two or more housemates who receive the most nominations will take part in an exciting challenge with an all important outcome. The winner of this task will be saved from being a nominated housemate and exempt from this week’s eviction. Get the feeling it’s going to be competitive?

But that’s not all! The winner must then choose another housemate to replace them as a nominated housemate. Normal rules then apply and whoever is chosen as a replacement will be up for Eviction with all the other nominated housemates on Friday.

BB11: Mario Streaks

Day 5: Mario is well and truly out of his mole costume as he ran outside the Big Brother house into the garden naked. He had just been sharing a shower with John James and Ben and was then challenged by Shabby to strip down to his birthday suit.

 

Mario proved he was game for a laugh and proceeded to get naked as Shabby, Ife and Caiomhe cheered him on. Running around the garden naked, Mario seemed to be having fun and it looks like this is just the beginning!

Viewers will already have seen Mario sneaking around in the garden in just his underpants as he threw vegetables into the pool during his 'Impossible Task'. I'm not sure it was such a good idea but viewers seem to like Mario  - who is the current bookies favourite to win BB11.

BB11: Mario The Mole Escapes Eviction

Day 5: Mario had been set the 'Impossible Task' of entering the Big Brother 11 house dressed as a mole and could only become a proper housemate IF he passed the task. He needed to convince the majority of housemates he was NOT a mole, although it was pretty hard since Big Brother dressed him up as a mole and made him live in a mole hole!

Lined up in the BB11 garden, housemates were lined up in a Unusual Suspects remake and surprisingly only two housemates chose Mario, they were Corin and Ife.


Dave chose Govan,

Rachael chose Steve,

Sunshine chose Ben,

And astonishingly, the remaining eight housemates all chose Sunshine......... something that would result in tears later........
