The housemates had to complete the final part of their 'Posh Week' task last night - dancing at the Big Brother Ball and attempting not to talk with their mouths full. Naturally, they failed the latter.
Ziggy's bullying started to show again as he and chronic complainer
Carole fought over the shopping list. Carole wants a healthy, balanced,
vegetable-rich larder. The rest of them just want to eat crap, hoping
they'll get any essential nutrition from the tomatoes in their ketchup.
Carole should just let them have their potato wedges and step back.
Back at the Big Brother Ball, watching the housemates dance was like
watching a toddler take its first steps. After a few uncoordinated
movements forward they'd collapse in a heap on the floor.
Having run out of tobacco, Tracey is going cold turkey. She scrabbled
around for any remnants of a cigarette, only just stopping short of
rummaging through the ashtrays for discarded fag ends. What was most
disconcerting, however, was seeing her - a grown woman - in a pair of
pink panda-print pyjamas that simply shouldn't be worn by anyone past
the age of 13.
After passing their task, no longer having to talk proper and with
Brian rejoicing, "It's the dog's balderdash!" they are now entitled to
a luxury shopping budget. Let's hope it's mainly comprised of booze to
fuel the continuing arguments, tears and tantrums.
