Davina welcomes viewers to live eviction number 3; then we have a long montaged recap of what those muppets have been up to in the week! Davina's puppet reads out the phone lines while Caoimhe clenches her teeth on the huge screen behind, trying to get something out of it! Caoimhe, Shabby and Sunshine all receive relatively boisterous boos during this.
9.48am, some of the HM's are in the bedroom. It's the morning after the night before for Sunshine and John James and she is lapping up all the sympathies extended to her by Ben etc. Last night Sunshine fell out with John James after he tried to throw her into the pool. Really Marcus means, Sunshine fell out with John after continually crying wolf to get her jollies, attention whoring and being generally obnoxious and self-absorbed - to the point where it becomes IDIOTIC!!
Josie won't stand for John being wronged by that woman and informs the bedroom that Sunshine needs to apologise to John. Shabby asks why Sunshine even poured water over him in the first place. Josie answers that it is to try and get John's attention.
JOHN: (surly) I don't know! That's just what she does!
JOSIE: (Jokes through giggles) John's just obviously not very good at flirting!!

JOSIE: (Jokes through giggles) John's just obviously not very good at flirting!!
The delicate flower asks Mario if she has overreacted to this whole situation. He communicates that she has a little bit but John had too. In the kitchen, Shabby speaks with Ife about how often she considers Sunshine thinks about evictions, nominations and things like that. Ife believes the programme is renowned for the victims and the under dogs to do well.
IFE: (rages) She is putting herself into a victim box! I can see it happening from miles away and it's driving me insane!! Because I hate people like that.
She thinks she would literally cry, pee herself and do a victory dance all at the same time if Shabby and Caoimhe stayed and Sunshine went. Um.. can we discuss this weirdness later?
Shabby is not entirely sure her and Caoimhe should stay together. John comes in the bathroom, completely bypassing Sunshine - who is feeling very unpopular and sorry for herself right now. Josie looks from one to the other and tries to lighten the tension asking 'are you two going to make up now?' Sunshine nods.

Josie looks from one to the other and tries to lighten the tension asking 'are you two going to make up now?' Sunshine nods.
JOSIE: Sunshine hasn't been in there saying you did that and the other, John.
JOHN: (angered at Sunshine's lack of moral code) It's not about that.. it's about being made to look like you're on a court stand, in the middle of the diary room.. in front of a jury.. having to explain your actions.. being made out as though I've assaulted someone or something like that..
Sunshine explains she didn't go in there and talk like that but had gone to speak to BB for 2 reasons. First - because she couldn't stop it from happening, she ended up being exposed and asked for them to not show it. Second - She asked for the subsequent conversation she had to not be shown. She feels if anything, she'll end up looking bad.
John still can't look at her, after she threw him to the wolves in such a way the night before. But for him it is not about looking worse as at the end of the day it will be shown, they will be portrayed how they'll be portrayed .. and there's nothing they can do about it. He doesn't think they would come on a show if they were worried about things like that.

JOHN: But as far as the housemates are concerned that's a different story because.. I could be going around.. walking around the house and be known as the bloke that has assaulted a girl or.. or has done something that was totally blown out of proportion! Do you know what I mean?
He does sincerely apologise for the carpet burns as he hadn't known at the time. Sunshine knows and re-iterates that wasn't why she went in there 'why would I want you to come across as a wife-beater?' Corin says her piece that John wouldn't come across that way as he was having a joke. She tells them both they need to stop their joking as it is going to get well out of hand; John thinks she is right.
CORIN: (like a mother chastening her children) It doesn't matter what you're gonna look like on the outside cos you both wind each other up! (they nod)

11.37am, Steve, John James and Corin are in the living room. John sighs. Caoimhe and Shabby are in the bathroom. Shabby comes clean that she'd said something that morning to Ife that she really wishes she hadn't. After she airs that she had hoped either her or Caoimhe are evicted, Caoimhe simply mm's. But after last night, she thinks someone deserves to go more than either of them - SUNSHINE.
Some of the HM's are in the bedroom. Ben is badmouthing John while in between Dave and Sunshine in her bed. He thinks some people can tease and take being teased back and others can't.. John is one he is referring to. He advises Sunshine not to take it personally as John really likes her.
Sunshine knows John is really angry at her right now but doesn't know what she can do. She's already said she will take the blame and that she is sorry for her part. Ben puts an understanding arm around the 'sweetheart' saying she'll be okay. She queries if she had done something wrong; Ben replies that she'd done nothing wrong. ?!!!????
Ben offers his insight that she flirts very obviously with John, which he doesn't see anything wrong with as everyone enjoys flirting. He believes that despite John being very good looking, that he's not used to girls flirting with him. Sunshine just thought she was messing around with him, the same way she would with anybody.
He silences her and prods for Dave to back him up with this, that she does flirt with John in quite a sexual way. She immediately feigns horror at the very prospect but Mario and Dave are in Ben's corner. Ben bootlicks that she is an attractive girl, has a good body and walks around in a bikini; she cuts in 'to shower or to sunbathe.' Basically it looks like Sunshine has butchered a pig but John didn't want any bacon (to paraphrase a Big Bang theory quote) :D
Ben grants that he and Mario flirt but in a light-hearted way but repeats that she is sexual in her flirtations. She stops him as she not done anything of that nature. Ben agrees to not use the word but won't budge that she does flirt with John in an overt way. Sexual Sunshine (as she was just dubbed by Mars) snaps that she does not fancy him!
He then attests that John thinks she does and barefacedly lies that he is flattered. She insists that she doesn't. Josie has come into the bedroom and asks aloud 'why can't we just put this behind us?' Sunshine grizzles to Josie that she really wants to.
JOSIE: (knowing John doesn't want to even associate with Sunshine) Do you know the best thing you can do? Don't talk to him, wait for him to come to you.
Sunshine is but it's upsetting; she appeals that Josie knows what it's like not being friends with someone like John when she wants to.
JOSIE: (Laughs to make Sunshine feel better) When he doesn't talk to me I'm like (sings gospel choir style) Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!!
Ben is nothing but a 'delight' when he thinks he's unloading an amusing anecdote about how Josie is relieved to have a break from her babysitting duties. Tumbleweeds can appreciate his sarcasm a hell of a lot more than I can!
Davina thinks Sunshine is misguided and asks the crowd if Sunshine fancies John. The resounding answer is of course, YES!!!
1.02pm, Nathan, Dave and Steve are in the living room. Yesterday, Ben failed to complete his secret mission set by the Tree of temptation to organise an arm-wrestling competition. He was told to come back this morning to face the tree's wrath. Ben's been in the bathroom waiting to be alone with the tree for 36 minutes.
This is where he spills the beans to Corin that they are trying to make him do things and might chuck him out as he won't (see previous live blog) She indicates that although some secret tasks are sh*t, they are only tasks!
CORIN: Chin up!
Tree of Temptation then castigates Ben (also on live feed blog) and tells all about his role as stand up in the task. The lads in the lounge are onto Ben having spotted him talking to 'someone' in the bathroom. Nathan goes in to interrogate Ben then reports back that Ben is 'just practising something!'
TREE: Nice lying! I'm learning to like you a little bit. What I've planned ain't pretty! You just don't get it - you must be the stand up, full stop! Understand? (Ben thinks so)
T of T bids Ben to not repeat their conversations to anyone and to barks for him to get out of his bathroom. Ben bickers that it is HIS bathroom as the Tree tries to shut up the 'prize idiot!' Sunshine and Steve come in demanding to know 'what and who is talking to you?'
BEN: I'm having messages from outer space! The same people that speak to Sunshine!
This does nothing to alleviate Steve's suspicions as Ben would not be stood there brushing his teeth, talking to a piece of wooden furniture! Ben brands himself as going gradually mad and losing the plot; Steve unpicks his wedgie. Steve's not stupid he f**king heard something!
1.17pm, Corin is horizontally cycling on the couch while crooning like a canary on cyanide! Nathan dobs on Ben talking in the bathroom when no one was in there, to those gathered around the table luncheoning.
SHABBY: (Stands and points) SUSSED! So what happens to you if you get found out?
Ben shrugs it off as he will be punished whatever he does so it doesn't really make a difference. He can't say what BB told him to do; Shabby wants to squeeze it out of him and insinuates he will get in trouble anyway.
He again checks that he won't be kicked out of the programme. Sunshine doubts it but is pretty sure he's failed his task now. Shabby carps on that they may all be punished for Ben's failure to comply.
Ben blathers that they should be happy he didn't follow it through as he'd have been stabbing them all in the back! Shabby doesn't see that as being necessarily a problem but Ben blazons that it was a no win situation. Holy bagels, Ben!! They only asked you to initiate an arm-wrestling contest - you got yourself into this hot mess! *envisions strangling him*
Shabby and Caoimhe harass him into telling them what the Tree wanted him to do and if it involved the T of T's wrath. When Ben gives the nod that it had, Mario wails that they'll be kissing goodbye to the hot water now. It annoys Shabby that they can't talk about the Tree.
Caoimhe gives a word of warning that if Ben doesn't finish the task he will be f**king punished. Ben is sure he will! He feels it isn't only his fault as Steve outed him 'so what could I have done?' The HL edits show a shot of the Tree with Ben promising he'd never dob on T of T playing in the background, demonstrating that Ben has DEFIED the tree!
1.44pm, all the HM's have been gathered at the sofas for this week's shopping task, celebrating International Joke Day. HM's will each become a classic joke stereotype and they must successfully pass 3 or more of the 5 challenges they'll receive. HM's have 3 minutes to allocate roles.
See live blog for more indepth details on this. After John puts himself forward to be a chicken he then sighs that it depends on the costume. Mario is bent out of shape as he was going to go for the stand up comic; John ensures that they all have to participate in this.
Ben mocks Mario after he comments that his routine better be good, 'otherwise I'll give you the silent treatment for 2 hours!!'
Dave and John James are to become chickens. Sunshine is an Englishman, Caoimhe an Irishman and Shabby a Scotsman. Corin, Nathan, Steve, Ife and Mario make up a nun, a scouser, a doctor, a waiter and a mother-in-law. Josie is a dumb blonde! :D And Ben is a stand up comedian.
Dave dispatches his account of watching Ben talking and brushing his teeth and they'd heard a voice in there with him. They'd asked 'what you doing in there, Benno?' and he'd answered that he was just practising.
BEN: I was saying my rosary!
John had joined in the laughter but then the dots connect 'have you failed the task already, Benny?' Ben pronounces that he probably has which concerns John if it was a task for the group. Now Benny buttons it 'I can't say too much.. I can't.' He fibs that BB wanted him to do some pretty unpleasant things one of which was to take the remains of Shabby's hats which would make her hate him and push the rest over the edge!
CAOIMHE: What w*nkers!
Ben is sketchy with his tall story that it was a combination of laziness, unexplored morality and that he just couldn't be ars*d!
SHABBY: Er.. yeah, if the rest of my hats had gone missing..
BEN: You would have like murdered someone..
SHABBY: Yeah!
BEN: There would have been a death here. I wouldn't have even been taped up, it would have been quicker than that!
After a 7 year sabbatical, it is the return of the chickens to the BB garden! Shout out for Marjorie, Darren's sweet Marjorie - BB1 reference :)
4.19pm BB has delivered costumes for today's task. For the first part of this week's International Joke Day shopping task, John James and Dave must take part in an endurance joke-telling challenge. Each time 1 of the live chickens crosses the road, they must read out a question and punchline from the chicken jokes book provided. So far 15 chickens have crossed the road!
JOHN: Why did the chicken cross the basketball court?
DAVE: He heard the referee calling 'fouls!'
JOHN: Why did the turkey cross the road?
DAVE: To prove he wasn't a chicken! :D
John just might be the cutest chicken chappy I've ever seen but he is certainly clucked off being cooped up! Not many guys could rock yellow fluff in quite the same way Johnny does.
Josie had started to say something so John asks 'what'd you say, Jose?' She had thought they'd just missed a chicken crossing the road (but stopped when they began the joke)
JOHN: (cocky but not really.. just because it is a chicken pun) You've gotta wait until he actually does cross the road. He's gotta cross the whole road or I'm not calling the joke!
For the second part of the task, a nun, a scouser, a doctor, a waiter and a mother-in-law, will attempt to break the unrecognised world record for continuous laughter. They must all laugh non-stop for at least 3 hours and 6 minutes.
Ife rallies the troops wanting them to wheelie bin their negativos - that they can do it as it's just laughing! Nathan expostulates that it is difficult to even talk for 3 hours straight! BB announces that their laughter must begin at the sound of the baby's chuckle.
Even in the first minute they are already struggling and stop and start due to coughing and sore throats. The hilarity of their ha hee haaaaa-ing soon wears off and the sound of their sniggers soon becomes banal and bothersome in 15 flat.
The howls of hysteria, meet the lobey lobes of those outside. Sunshine distinguishes that Corin is a good laugher and Josie exclaims '£500!!' John refuses to get excited until they actually do it and have it announced that they have won the premium shopping budget.
Shabby was never excited as they won't get the shopping until tomorrow anyway and then she gets to leave 'woo (!)'
JOSIE: You don't know that Shabs, you can't say that.
Shabby asserts that she can say it quite knowledgeably.
5.02pm, Sunshine swarms around the hatch like a bumblebee as a chicken crosses the road. John reads his joke with a distinct lack of enthusiasm: why did the chicken cross the road, roll in the mud and cross the road again? Dave's punchline - Because he was a dirty double crosser!
Ben and Caoimhe are in the bedroom talking about Shabby. Caoimhe can't shut her trap about wishing Shabby didn't like her like that. Ben sympathises that people can't help who they like and uses him and Mario as an example. But accounts that Mario is better than Shabby because he laughs it off in a way. Ben flirts with Mario but draws a line and won't cross it but with girls it's a bit more difficult, having to share a bed with all that going on.
For what it's worth, Ben doesn't think Caoimhe comes across looking like she's led Shabby on. In his blinkered eyes, they look like 2 very close girlfriends - 1 of which happens to be a lesbian. Caoimhe thanks him 'that's good!' When did they suddenly become real chummy? Shabby would have an aneursym if she could see them always chumming it up.
41 minutes in and the laughers have lost the will to live.. because their challenge wasn't exhausting at all (!) Nathan can't take it any more, quits and bears his chest! Ife has also started talking instead of giggling, about how they can have 2 fails and it's impossible. That's a very convenient philosophy which then puts heightened pressure on the others to succeed.
CORIN: We've failed now!
The stroppy Scouser takes to the garden to trumpet 'that's it, it's over!' His justification is littered with the usual profanities - he couldn't f**king do it, his throat was f**king killing him!!
Corin extends good luck to Steve who is valiantly pressing forward on the behalf of the quitters. He must have entered a state of delirium or has been drinking Wizard's glory juice if the sound of his chuckles is anything to go by! :D Either that or his howler monkey impersonation is the direct result of a sharp blow to the head! (most likely the rolling pin he is holding behind it)
8.13pm, most of the HM's are in the kitchen. As Sunshine is hovering, John broaches the topic as Josie had said she wanted to talk. She starts to thunderously vindicate herself.
JOHN: (fed up of the little chicken sh*t) You don't have to speak that loudly.. I'm only here.
Sunshine looks as though John could reduce her to a blithering wreck easily.. she whimpers that obviously she really wants to be friends and doesn't not want to be. 'So whenever you're ready to be friends..'
JOHN: (stops her in her tracks) Alright, it's better that Dave is here to hear this. Can you answer me why why.. why you did exaggerate the story? You did exaggerate the story. Can I ask why you did that?
She substantiates that at the time she felt scared and upset.
JOHN: Scared as in what? Scared of what?
Sunshine continues to exonerate herself because she was bleeding and shaken up. Then turns to grovelling: Does she wish it had never happened? Of course. Does she wish she had never acted like that? Of course! But at the time those were her emotions and she couldn't control that. Josie brings out John's meal while Dave moans about the flipping birds!
John is unable to thank Josie, having to recite the why did the chicken joke. Sunshine again advocates that she knows she was laughing at the time but doesn't know why, as she wasn't finding it funny 'and was clearly upset by it.'
JOHN: So you were laughing at something that wasn't funny?
She heaves a weary sigh as though John is the one giving her a migraine! She's sorry and doesn't know why she reacted the way she did. Throughout the argument they have to keep starting and stopping so that Dave and John can tell the chicken jokes.
Q - Why did the rooster cross the road? A - To cockadoodledo something!
In the kitchen, Mario comments that he's not getting involved this time if they're arguing. Ben is tickled at Sunshine terrorising John as it is like watching a silent film. Nathan can imagine whatever they're talking about it 'total bullsh*t!'
Mario expects it is the 3 same sentences being said over and over. Back with the battery poultry, Sunshine snivels as to whether John wants to resolve anything or get in a big argument and blame her for everything, when she's already apologised.
JOHN: No, I was willing to listen to your explanation.. and I don't agree with it. (She asks what he doesn't agree with) I can't agree with what you did Sunshine, I just can't. What do you want me to do? I don't agree with ..
She butts in that she doesn't agree with what John did either.
JOHN: (his feathers are ruffled) Exactly, but you're the one that still wants to.. (she talks over him) hang on a minute, hang on a minute, hang on a minute! You said, you don't agree with my explanation and you don't agree with what I said.. yet you still wanna be my friend? This is your.. it was your right to go into Big Brother and do what you did.. well this is my right to say that I don't wanna talk to you of the duration (pronounced dury-ation) of while your here or while I'm here. That's my right!
Sunshine finds that very petty when they've been friends before this.
JOHN: This is the deal!
SUNSHINE: (on the brink of blubbing) Can I just clarify that nothing I say is going to make you be my friend? (they have to stop for a chicken joke) Nothing I say, nothing I do can take back, you can never forgive me.. you will not..
JOHN: (lays down the law) Because it's 1 thing to do what you did, it's another to apologise.. but then it's another thing to continue on with the same explanation you've been giving. I've apologised for what I felt I had to apologise for but I don't apologise for trying to drag you to the pool because you had a warning. I told you that if you threw water on me, you're going in the pool!
Sunshine asks if at any point she's said she's really angry and yelled that John tried to throw her in the pool. At the end of the day, John doesn't care if she's angry, that's not his problem.
JOHN: (repeats to drive the point home) But that's not the problem here, I don't care if you're angry! What I do care about is being made to look like some sort of person that drags ..
Josie has come out to the garden wanting to say something. She speaks on behalf of the bitchy remarks she has just heard in the kitchen.
JOSIE: (pointing her finger) You're starting to get on everyone's nerves now, everyone's nerves! You don't stop arguing.
JOHN: (flummoxed) How? At the end of the day, Jose I've been sitting in a .. I can't move. I'm not the one.. I can't move..
JOSIE: You don't need to start it all up again.
JOHN: (stares open mouthed) Jose, I can't..
JOSIE: You've honestly argued with every person in this house, every single day of the week. You're starting to do everyone's heads in!
John declares again that he can't move. Josie counters that he just doesn't shut up and everyone's had it now.
JOHN: (defensively) I can't f**king move, Jose!
She knows but encourages him to just not say anything. Sunshine smirks and saunters away.
Does John think that Josie has over exaggerated with some of her claims about their relationship and tried to paint him as the villain? Has he made some exaggerations himself, to make Josie seem worse than she is? Could this be why he has cut Josie out of his life completely? Because he doesn't agree with her actions at all so is not even willing to listen to her explanations. He knows it is Josie's right as his ex to say whatever she likes, but he has the same rights to dispute, deny and stay 'dignified' (SILENT) about things.
Any apology that he received from Josie (and we know she did at first) he maybe didn't feel was sincere. They were both obviously angry and hurting but did they CARE that they had also been responsible for devastating the person they once loved? Or were they only concerned about their own pain and the way the other was damaging their public perception? In the chicken coop, John was unable to get away from Sunshine and the arguments she wanted to start/continue.. but John took himself away from Josie and their rows, by flying back home to the other side of the world!
On why John was able to eventually forgive Sunshine but can't seem to forgive Josie - "Sunshine didn't matter and Josie did. I think if someone doesn't matter you can cut them more slack but someone that had your heart letting you down isn't forgiven easily. Maybe John put Josie on a massive pedestal and so her fall from grace was that much further. I sometimes think about the board that don't lie, he rated her so highly on all the positive characteristics and so lowly on the bad ones." (Muddyminded)
9.02pm, an Englishman, a mother-in-law, a comedian and a dumb blonde are in the kitchen. Josie praises John as he can be such a sweet lad and is so sensitive. Ben believes Josie has summed it up beautifully, as John can be so nice sometimes but 'really nasty other times - there's nothing in between!'
Sunshine is still depressed because (she's alone and no one loves her).. John doesn't want to be her friend and she doesn't know what else she can do. Ben perceives that she has done her best. Mario quizzes if she has to be friends with every single person in the house.
SUNSHINE: (heavy-hearted) Yeah, because I really like John as a person! I just wish he.. I don't know like.. I don't know how many times I can say sorry for like.. he says 'you've gone in there, you've made me look like a complete idiot in front of 6 million people!'
Mario huffs that John makes an idiot of himself. Ben backbites that John does this out of boredom and because he's an attention seeker. Sunshine then whines that John had called her an attention seeker and she probably is!
BEN: We all are a bit.
John James and Dave are cooped up. Dave professes his love to John and supportively lets him know that he is there for him, if he ever wants to chat. He feels John is in a bit of a crap situation but thinks the world of him and that he's a really cool guy.
DAVE: I'd like to spend more time with you but I just see those walls.. and it's hard, it's hard to get past there, you know.
He feels like he just has to keep away because John has built those things up. He doesn't agree totally with what Josie said, as there are instances where John gets provoked but thinks there is some truth in what she's saying.
In Dave's mind, there is some stuff that needs to be sorted and that the pressure of coming in there has popped things. Dave determines that John is finding it really difficult and that things get on top of him.
Do
you think he has/had built up walls to the same extent as Josie? Were
his constructed after the death of his father? Or do you think that has
always been part of his personality, due to having low self-confidence
etc?
"Well the thing is they all wanted to get along, John wasn't prepared to let Sunshine's massive stab in the back go just to rejoin the get-along-gang. He probably was doing everyone's heads in but that doesn't mean he's wrong. I think John was carrying a lot of unresolved grief over his dad but this instance had nothing to do with it. What some people call 'issues' I call low on the agree-ability scale. I think some of the anger and the short fuse were related to his Dads death but not the walls. He is just a naturally sensitive person and he wants to know his friends meet his code of ethics and are as loyal as he is." (Muddyminded)
Plus the poor guy had a headache (he asked Josie to get some paracetamol from the Diary room for him but BB wouldn't let her pass any on) - the bassas!, having been out there for hours in the sun with few breaks, in a sweltering chicken suit, having to read the same jokes on repeat, couldn't get the frick away from the whoresradish and was feeling like crap over practically being accused of abuse by BB! So of course he was going to have hostile reactions and give it back being an the most forthright and argumentative Aussie there ever was.
A dumb blonde has been called to the Diary room to take part in her challenge. BB will ask her 10 classic dumb blonde jokes, she groans. To pass she must answer the correct punchline to 7 or more of the jokes. She looks so comical onscreen with her blow up bosom!!
JOSIE: (laughs) Oh no!
Q - How do you make a blondes eyes twinkle?
JOSIE: (a clock ticks indicating her time has started) Have I gotta answer it now? (horn honks as her time is up) Show her a massive penis!
Like most things she says, this is pure comedy gold :D
A - Shine a torch in her ear!
Q - What do you call a blonde behind a steering wheel?
JOSIE: Ah, I know this one! (waits for the countdown and moves her head in time with the ticking) Danger-ous!!
A - An air bag.
Q - What do you get when you offer a blonde a penny for her thoughts?
JOSIE: (correctly answers) Change! (she likes this one as it makes her giggle)
Q - How do you keep a blonde in suspense?
A - We'll tell her later.
Josie is racking her brain for this one but doesn't seem to have any inkling. You can almost see the cogs turning :D
9.52pm, an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman are in the small task room. In order to pass their part in the shopping task, they must find the punchlines to 3 different jokes.
They stand back as ice lollies are dropped through the ceiling onto the floor. The 'men' get to work licking away and bashing the ice to find the answer on the lolly stick.
SHABBY: (steadfast) We have to win this one, ladies!!
Shabster is first to successfully find the corresponding ice lolly stick 'no eye dear!' She sticks it to BB, holding it up triumphantly to the camera as her team mates cheer.
The chickens have been cooped up for 5 and a half hours. John can't see Caoimhe going as he doesn't think she's done enough, and that she'd have just floated under the radar. Dave declares that they don't know how the whole situation with her and Shabby will be portrayed, as though this will have an impact.
Dr Gill surmises that if either are evicted, the other will also walk out. Dave can't see that happening but John thinks Shabs will.
STEVE: (skeptical) I think she's talking out of her arse!!
JOHN: I really think Shabs will. I'm not sure, the other way round though.
BB bears tidings of great joy, that 'why did the chicken cross the road ends now!' which is music to their hairy ears. Much to the relief of our feathered friends, who were getting in a bit of a flap and run-down from ruling their roost. John manages to muster a lukewarm 'yay' as he and Dave high-five.
Fast forward to the small task room, where a precipitation of penguin bars fall to the floor. Shabby has to shield her head while in search of the answer to: What is black and white and red all over?
Caoimhe claims the victory as she ppppppppicks up a penguin from the plethora, with the answer on the wrapper: a sunburnt penguin! Cue another short-lived celebration :)
In the bathroom, the lady of the evening is adding insult to injury, as she scolds her little chicken man.
JOSIE: (beseeches) I'm just.. please, asking you - stop being that angry guy.
Mario also has an announcementington (yes I am using Miranda vernacular now!) for him too about him arguing with Sunshine. John struggles to get a word in edgeways, while Josie takes him to task that it's not just him and Sunshine 'it's you and whoever, it's like everyday!'
JOSIE: (laughs) And you don't know when to stop (more gently) no wonder you're so tired.
JOHN: (he's mother-plucking pooped) I've been tired because I've been sitting there counting how many times a chicken crossed the road!
There are not enough enteraining chicken jokes in the world to have made that endurance task worth it!
Next in the task corner, comes a cascade of crackers crashing out of the chute. They fish through the debris for the punchline to the joke 'what do you call a sheep with no legs?' Shabby is hopeful that Sunshine will find this one so they have all got one.
SUNSHINE: This is the best! I love cracking crackers!!
Little things...? :D Sunshine does indeed find the answer - a cloud! Shabby is so pleased and the comrades all have a jolly group hug!
12.18am, our little chicklings are tucked up in their beds fast asleep after a long day. Shabby and Caoimhe chinwag that tonight could be their last one together; Shabby's scared! Ife is in the Diary room commenting that she likes to take people as she finds them.
She'd thought she had a nice, strong connection with Caoimhe and Shabby but over the last couple of days her eyes have been opened. She doesn't need to be part of a group as she likes to think for herself, make her own decisions and have her own opinions.
The worst thing that could happen to her in the house, is for people to automatically think she agrees with everything they say - because she's not like that!
Cabby (Shabby and Caoimhe) are whispering in bed; Shabs says for Caoimhe not to be scared but Kiev finds it hard not to be. Shabby considers it to be a bit of a b*llocks situation as she never wanted to be up at the same time as her chum.
Caoimhe assesses that she's done everything right and has been herself, it's just been the last few days where she's been down in the dumps. Shabby doesn't know why her babes is worrying about that now as it's a bit late.
SHABBY: Thing is, if you want to go .. then why are you so bothered? (Caoimhe doesn't know) Maybe you don't want to go.
She unconvincingly contends that she does. Highlights finish and Davina discloses the HM's have successfully passed 90% of their tasks, so it is now all riding on Ben for the most nerve-racking 90 seconds of his life.
The cameras cut live to the house, Ben changes the lyrics to Tom Jones' classic 'It's not unusual to go out at any time!' then some of the HM's ba dum ba dum ba dum the theme tune to Pink Panther.
Davina welcomes us back to eviction night number 3 where: Caoimhe the diva, crabby Shabby and stormy Sunshine are all facing the chop. She introduces Ben as being the first HM in history to complete a task before a live audience; Ben is shown being given the task lowdown by BB in the Diary room.
His other HM's are able to watch via the plasma TV in the lounge. The doors open for Ben (the bluecoat) and his big, blonde kahunas as he greets the cheers with a royal wave. He lauds it up, thanking the ladies and gentlemen and welcomes them to his part of the show, all 90 seconds of it in fact :D 'It's a pleasure to be booed by you!'
Some of his jokes include a Carly Simons lyric - nobody does it better 'though perhaps Davina does!' Talk about oxymorons and being a moron himself and that a mobile home is not mobile as it is on stilts and not going anywhere. He mentions something I don't understand about his hair being like Margaret Thatcher after the Falklands War.
Ben is unable to pull out his real zingers about the HM's as the crowd are applauding and cheering so loudly. He thanks Sunshine for being the only vegan who doesn't eat vegetables; the mention of her name gets boos and jeers. His time is up, Davina thought he did quite well.
BEN: I've never looked like a Marks and Spencers model. Good night, God bless! (blows some kisses and goes back through the doors)
Davina is given word from BB that Ben had passed his part of the task; he is in the background being hugged and loved on by his HM's.
Onto serious business, Davina talks to the house revealing that the 3rd person to leave is: SUNSHINE! She takes it well with sunny smiles, John claps and she hugs them all as speedily as possible in the countdown before ascending the staircase.
When she reaches the top, she pouts one final time into the mirror, then turns around and went all Hollywood on the HM's she leaves behind - blowing a kiss and waves, before facing the sea of boos.
She struts out to the song playing in her honour (Steal my sunshine by Len) refusing to take the dramatics down even a notch, as she glorifies in the crowd. She's only to pleased to strike a pose for the paps, that she spent hour upon hour perfecting in the BB mirrors :D
The Queen of 'subtle' has been ousted from the house, while she works it - her time in the house plays for viewers. During the montage, Josie says of her with giggles 'Sunshine she's just potty!'
JOHN: (groans) She's singing! We don't wanna hear that sh*t!
Sunshine expected worse boos so thought her reception was alright. She received 42% of the vote and it was between her and Caoimhe. Jokester quips that she thought she was nominated as she didn't share her crisps until the day after. She'd cried over crispgate as she felt terrible for upsetting Ife.
In her first week, she received a record 10 nominations which she 'whoops' about! In a weather report montage of her stormy side, we are warned that too much Sunshine can be bad for our health. On a good point, Sunshine announces she and John are friends again. He just needed time and gets quite angry and had come to her today saying he wanted to be friends.
She lets slip that John wears some of the jewellery she'd made, so she left him a surprise under his pillow which is quite sweet. Davina asks if the pool debacle was just flirting gone wrong but Sunshine side-steps the flirting aspect of the question.. she'd found it funny the first two times but that time he gave her carpet burns which are really painful!
When asked who will win, Sunshine guesses Mario - hears the crowd yelling 'Josie' so agrees that she's lovely, 'and Steve might win too!' But she'd like Mario to win. Sunshine takes calls from the viewers but is quite dismissive with her tone and answers.
One caller says that there seemed to be some sexual tension (HUH???) and a love/hate relationship with John James, so asks if she was ever jealous of his friendship with Josie. Sunshine replies she wasn't because Josie is a lovely, lovely person and she gets annoyed with John too.
Davina turns over to Bob Righter to deliver the wrath of the Tree to Ben. As it changes back to the house, John is stating that as soon as Sunshine's name was mentioned there was booing. As Bobby comes to life, it is widely assumed that Mario will be getting a treat day from Sunshine.
Bobby creeps Josie out 'he's horrible!'; Mario mentions that it might not be for him.
JOHN: Of course, it's gonna be for you, Mario!
Mario reads aloud - Ben's stand up challenge has come to an end, such a shame he revealed Bob Righter's friend. So tomorrow for Ben, will be a revelation. As he faces the wrath of the Tree of Temptation.
Ben doesn't quite understand and takes the message from Mario, to read over.
JOHN: He's gonna get shafted, yeah. I knew that wasn't your proper punishment! I was like 'nah, he'll have a harder punishment than that!'
Shabby suspects Ben may be going to some sort of jail; Josie reckons Ben's taking a liking to his black shirt. The voice over man apologises for the start of the show, as Elstree studios had a power failure.
JOHN: You'll probably just have to go in the task room, Benny. I wouldn't be stressing. It's not gonna be real bad!
This ends the eviction show.
Onto BBBM, I won't be giving a play by play as I hate this stooooopid show! Jodie Marsh wants to ask Sunshine (as she's not on yet) WHY she'd want to be friends with John James when he was being such an idiot to her! She doesn't care if John is fit or not, he was annoying and rude to Sunshine. Davina counters that Dennis Rodman was much nastier than John James and she flirted with him!
Someone tweeted into the show, that John James should have thrown Sunshine back into the pool before she left. When Sunshine finally comes on in Part 4, Jodie tells her that John was an idiot and couldn't understand why she still wanted to be his friend. Sunshine explains he had said sorry and is lovely but has 2 sides.
SUNSHINE: The sweetest, nicest person.. he's quite sensitive, he'll cry and he's always stuck up for me, he's stuck up a lot for me. And the other side he gets into such moods and he argues quite a lot.
JODIE MARSH: So he's not always a nice person?
SUNSHINE: No, no! If he was nice all the time he'd be perfect!
JARED CHRISTMAS: But he is sexy though, isn't he?
SUNSHINE: He's a bit hot! Just a little bit. I don't fancy him!
Our old friend Layla from OKTV is a Sunshine fan and thought Caoimhe was a dead cert to go until the John James underwear expose saga! She now wishes she'd laughed it off but had too much to drink and got over emotional.
Someone from t'interweb asks if Sunshine was jealous of John and Josie's flirtations. She moans that everyone keeps asking that and she's not as Josie doesn't like him. (in that way) Davina cuts in that she might find, Josie does a bit the audience agree. She'd spoken to Josie yesterday who had jested she didn't know why Sunshine wanted to be friends with him as she didn't. Jared interjects that Josie wants to be lovers and Davina tells truthfully that Josie fancies the pants off him.
They do a mickey take montage of John about a fragrance 'Confusion' by John James. (It's funny as he helped his girlfriend make her own BEST-SELLING.. THAT'S RIGHT perfume) saying he's blonde, cute and always terrorising his HM's. The fragrance is described as seductive, powerful, angry (interspersed with sardonic clips) and proper sexy!
Davina describes him as Australian, looks alright in a football kit and has a fiery temper. She asks Jared to explain the phenomenon of John James to her. Jared concludes that he is a lone wolf trying to create his own gang and people find that attractive. He jokes that Australians are lonely people 'who else would invent a stick that comes back to ya?'
JARED: He's straight out of Home and away, he's good looking and he lets that dazzle people!
He also thinks he does the little boy confused thing which the girls think is so cute and that he will win. Jodie disagrees, she believes if his bleached blonde hair, hood always up, the angry look on his face and 6 pack is stripped away but doesn't complete her thought as Davina drools that it sounds hot!
The fellow reading the tweets finds John incredibly boring and thinks people only listen to him because he's good looking 'he talks bullsh*t!' Davina decides that Josie is the voice of reason with him and that she diffused the argument between him and Sunshine.
A member of the audience assesses that John likes the way Josie puts him in his place as he's never had that before (with all the girls fancying him) Davina had an idea that whenever someone is always positive and happy, John just has to bring them down. Sunshine joins in that John is always mean to Ben.
Sunshine has been given a Lady Gaga makeover in the break and she performs Bad romance with coke cans in her hair. She loves Mario, he's her best friend. Davina wants to see the carpet burns after Sunshine informs them Mario poked it and she can show them. Then voluntarily exposes her entire thigh and peels off the dressing which has Jodie coming over all squeamish.
It looks nasty but Jared squeals for her to show viewers the juice on the bandage - GROSSGROSS! The audience then applaud her for being so 'brave!' She had no qualms about being ultra revealing body parts live on BBBM though :P
To give Sunshine some credit, she actually looked quite lovely on her eviction (granny fascinator aside) and despite her irritating the crap out of everyone she made for a good HM. BB11 would not have been the same without her zaniness.
Some of the HM's are in the bedroom. Ben is badmouthing John while in between Dave and Sunshine in her bed. He thinks some people can tease and take being teased back and others can't.. John is one he is referring to. He advises Sunshine not to take it personally as John really likes her.
Sunshine knows John is really angry at her right now but doesn't know what she can do. She's already said she will take the blame and that she is sorry for her part. Ben puts an understanding arm around the 'sweetheart' saying she'll be okay. She queries if she had done something wrong; Ben replies that she'd done nothing wrong. ?!!!????
Ben offers his insight that she flirts very obviously with John, which he doesn't see anything wrong with as everyone enjoys flirting. He believes that despite John being very good looking, that he's not used to girls flirting with him. Sunshine just thought she was messing around with him, the same way she would with anybody.
He silences her and prods for Dave to back him up with this, that she does flirt with John in quite a sexual way. She immediately feigns horror at the very prospect but Mario and Dave are in Ben's corner. Ben bootlicks that she is an attractive girl, has a good body and walks around in a bikini; she cuts in 'to shower or to sunbathe.' Basically it looks like Sunshine has butchered a pig but John didn't want any bacon (to paraphrase a Big Bang theory quote) :D
He then attests that John thinks she does and barefacedly lies that he is flattered. She insists that she doesn't. Josie has come into the bedroom and asks aloud 'why can't we just put this behind us?' Sunshine grizzles to Josie that she really wants to.
JOSIE: (knowing John doesn't want to even associate with Sunshine) Do you know the best thing you can do? Don't talk to him, wait for him to come to you.
Sunshine is but it's upsetting; she appeals that Josie knows what it's like not being friends with someone like John when she wants to.
JOSIE: (Laughs to make Sunshine feel better) When he doesn't talk to me I'm like (sings gospel choir style) Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!!
Ben is nothing but a 'delight' when he thinks he's unloading an amusing anecdote about how Josie is relieved to have a break from her babysitting duties. Tumbleweeds can appreciate his sarcasm a hell of a lot more than I can!
1.02pm, Nathan, Dave and Steve are in the living room. Yesterday, Ben failed to complete his secret mission set by the Tree of temptation to organise an arm-wrestling competition. He was told to come back this morning to face the tree's wrath. Ben's been in the bathroom waiting to be alone with the tree for 36 minutes.
This is where he spills the beans to Corin that they are trying to make him do things and might chuck him out as he won't (see previous live blog) She indicates that although some secret tasks are sh*t, they are only tasks!
CORIN: Chin up!
Tree of Temptation then castigates Ben (also on live feed blog) and tells all about his role as stand up in the task. The lads in the lounge are onto Ben having spotted him talking to 'someone' in the bathroom. Nathan goes in to interrogate Ben then reports back that Ben is 'just practising something!'
T of T bids Ben to not repeat their conversations to anyone and to barks for him to get out of his bathroom. Ben bickers that it is HIS bathroom as the Tree tries to shut up the 'prize idiot!' Sunshine and Steve come in demanding to know 'what and who is talking to you?'
BEN: I'm having messages from outer space! The same people that speak to Sunshine!
This does nothing to alleviate Steve's suspicions as Ben would not be stood there brushing his teeth, talking to a piece of wooden furniture! Ben brands himself as going gradually mad and losing the plot; Steve unpicks his wedgie. Steve's not stupid he f**king heard something!
SHABBY: (Stands and points) SUSSED! So what happens to you if you get found out?
Ben shrugs it off as he will be punished whatever he does so it doesn't really make a difference. He can't say what BB told him to do; Shabby wants to squeeze it out of him and insinuates he will get in trouble anyway.
He again checks that he won't be kicked out of the programme. Sunshine doubts it but is pretty sure he's failed his task now. Shabby carps on that they may all be punished for Ben's failure to comply.
Shabby and Caoimhe harass him into telling them what the Tree wanted him to do and if it involved the T of T's wrath. When Ben gives the nod that it had, Mario wails that they'll be kissing goodbye to the hot water now. It annoys Shabby that they can't talk about the Tree.
Caoimhe gives a word of warning that if Ben doesn't finish the task he will be f**king punished. Ben is sure he will! He feels it isn't only his fault as Steve outed him 'so what could I have done?' The HL edits show a shot of the Tree with Ben promising he'd never dob on T of T playing in the background, demonstrating that Ben has DEFIED the tree!
See live blog for more indepth details on this. After John puts himself forward to be a chicken he then sighs that it depends on the costume. Mario is bent out of shape as he was going to go for the stand up comic; John ensures that they all have to participate in this.
Ben mocks Mario after he comments that his routine better be good, 'otherwise I'll give you the silent treatment for 2 hours!!'
Dave and John James are to become chickens. Sunshine is an Englishman, Caoimhe an Irishman and Shabby a Scotsman. Corin, Nathan, Steve, Ife and Mario make up a nun, a scouser, a doctor, a waiter and a mother-in-law. Josie is a dumb blonde! :D And Ben is a stand up comedian.
Dave dispatches his account of watching Ben talking and brushing his teeth and they'd heard a voice in there with him. They'd asked 'what you doing in there, Benno?' and he'd answered that he was just practising.
BEN: I was saying my rosary!
CAOIMHE: What w*nkers!
Ben is sketchy with his tall story that it was a combination of laziness, unexplored morality and that he just couldn't be ars*d!
SHABBY: Er.. yeah, if the rest of my hats had gone missing..
BEN: You would have like murdered someone..
SHABBY: Yeah!
BEN: There would have been a death here. I wouldn't have even been taped up, it would have been quicker than that!
4.19pm BB has delivered costumes for today's task. For the first part of this week's International Joke Day shopping task, John James and Dave must take part in an endurance joke-telling challenge. Each time 1 of the live chickens crosses the road, they must read out a question and punchline from the chicken jokes book provided. So far 15 chickens have crossed the road!
JOHN: Why did the chicken cross the basketball court?
DAVE: He heard the referee calling 'fouls!'
JOHN: Why did the turkey cross the road?
DAVE: To prove he wasn't a chicken! :D
John just might be the cutest chicken chappy I've ever seen but he is certainly clucked off being cooped up! Not many guys could rock yellow fluff in quite the same way Johnny does.
JOHN: (cocky but not really.. just because it is a chicken pun) You've gotta wait until he actually does cross the road. He's gotta cross the whole road or I'm not calling the joke!
For the second part of the task, a nun, a scouser, a doctor, a waiter and a mother-in-law, will attempt to break the unrecognised world record for continuous laughter. They must all laugh non-stop for at least 3 hours and 6 minutes.
Ife rallies the troops wanting them to wheelie bin their negativos - that they can do it as it's just laughing! Nathan expostulates that it is difficult to even talk for 3 hours straight! BB announces that their laughter must begin at the sound of the baby's chuckle.
Even in the first minute they are already struggling and stop and start due to coughing and sore throats. The hilarity of their ha hee haaaaa-ing soon wears off and the sound of their sniggers soon becomes banal and bothersome in 15 flat.
Shabby was never excited as they won't get the shopping until tomorrow anyway and then she gets to leave 'woo (!)'
JOSIE: You don't know that Shabs, you can't say that.
Shabby asserts that she can say it quite knowledgeably.
Ben and Caoimhe are in the bedroom talking about Shabby. Caoimhe can't shut her trap about wishing Shabby didn't like her like that. Ben sympathises that people can't help who they like and uses him and Mario as an example. But accounts that Mario is better than Shabby because he laughs it off in a way. Ben flirts with Mario but draws a line and won't cross it but with girls it's a bit more difficult, having to share a bed with all that going on.
For what it's worth, Ben doesn't think Caoimhe comes across looking like she's led Shabby on. In his blinkered eyes, they look like 2 very close girlfriends - 1 of which happens to be a lesbian. Caoimhe thanks him 'that's good!' When did they suddenly become real chummy? Shabby would have an aneursym if she could see them always chumming it up.
CORIN: We've failed now!
The stroppy Scouser takes to the garden to trumpet 'that's it, it's over!' His justification is littered with the usual profanities - he couldn't f**king do it, his throat was f**king killing him!!
Corin extends good luck to Steve who is valiantly pressing forward on the behalf of the quitters. He must have entered a state of delirium or has been drinking Wizard's glory juice if the sound of his chuckles is anything to go by! :D Either that or his howler monkey impersonation is the direct result of a sharp blow to the head! (most likely the rolling pin he is holding behind it)
JOHN: (fed up of the little chicken sh*t) You don't have to speak that loudly.. I'm only here.
Sunshine looks as though John could reduce her to a blithering wreck easily.. she whimpers that obviously she really wants to be friends and doesn't not want to be. 'So whenever you're ready to be friends..'
JOHN: (stops her in her tracks) Alright, it's better that Dave is here to hear this. Can you answer me why why.. why you did exaggerate the story? You did exaggerate the story. Can I ask why you did that?
She substantiates that at the time she felt scared and upset.
JOHN: Scared as in what? Scared of what?
Sunshine continues to exonerate herself because she was bleeding and shaken up. Then turns to grovelling: Does she wish it had never happened? Of course. Does she wish she had never acted like that? Of course! But at the time those were her emotions and she couldn't control that. Josie brings out John's meal while Dave moans about the flipping birds!
JOHN: So you were laughing at something that wasn't funny?
She heaves a weary sigh as though John is the one giving her a migraine! She's sorry and doesn't know why she reacted the way she did. Throughout the argument they have to keep starting and stopping so that Dave and John can tell the chicken jokes.
Q - Why did the rooster cross the road? A - To cockadoodledo something!
In the kitchen, Mario comments that he's not getting involved this time if they're arguing. Ben is tickled at Sunshine terrorising John as it is like watching a silent film. Nathan can imagine whatever they're talking about it 'total bullsh*t!'
Mario expects it is the 3 same sentences being said over and over. Back with the battery poultry, Sunshine snivels as to whether John wants to resolve anything or get in a big argument and blame her for everything, when she's already apologised.
She butts in that she doesn't agree with what John did either.
JOHN: (his feathers are ruffled) Exactly, but you're the one that still wants to.. (she talks over him) hang on a minute, hang on a minute, hang on a minute! You said, you don't agree with my explanation and you don't agree with what I said.. yet you still wanna be my friend? This is your.. it was your right to go into Big Brother and do what you did.. well this is my right to say that I don't wanna talk to you of the duration (pronounced dury-ation) of while your here or while I'm here. That's my right!
Sunshine finds that very petty when they've been friends before this.
JOHN: This is the deal!
SUNSHINE: (on the brink of blubbing) Can I just clarify that nothing I say is going to make you be my friend? (they have to stop for a chicken joke) Nothing I say, nothing I do can take back, you can never forgive me.. you will not..
Sunshine asks if at any point she's said she's really angry and yelled that John tried to throw her in the pool. At the end of the day, John doesn't care if she's angry, that's not his problem.
JOHN: (repeats to drive the point home) But that's not the problem here, I don't care if you're angry! What I do care about is being made to look like some sort of person that drags ..
Josie has come out to the garden wanting to say something. She speaks on behalf of the bitchy remarks she has just heard in the kitchen.
JOSIE: (pointing her finger) You're starting to get on everyone's nerves now, everyone's nerves! You don't stop arguing.
JOSIE: You don't need to start it all up again.
JOHN: (stares open mouthed) Jose, I can't..
JOSIE: You've honestly argued with every person in this house, every single day of the week. You're starting to do everyone's heads in!
John declares again that he can't move. Josie counters that he just doesn't shut up and everyone's had it now.
JOHN: (defensively) I can't f**king move, Jose!
She knows but encourages him to just not say anything. Sunshine smirks and saunters away.
"John
felt sorry for Sunshine - she was the underdog - she was the "uncool"
girl in BB that year - she latched onto Ben, Dave and Mario - the other
"uncool" people. John didn't know where he belonged - he wasn't a
smoker and he didn't have anyone begging to be in his "cool" group - he
wasn't a leader like he was in his real life and he couldn't understand
that. He
didn’t like the idea of Sunshine fancying him though - he didn’t want
that because then he might have to hurt her feelings when he rejected
her. John wouldn’t put himself in a position where HE was rejected -
but he wasn’t up to doing that to another person either - apart from
Rachael 1 - although he didn’t actually reject her - he just ignored the
obvious.
Sunshine flirted playfully with John - and when she didn’t get rejection she kept at it - again and again - and he retaliated. To him she was like an annoying mate of your little sister - every time she did something he did something worse back (a bit like the water with Josie - however he didn’t hurt her). With Sunshine though I do think he was intentionally going a bit far (not that I’m saying he wanted to hurt her - but he did want to sicken her - get her to stop the bliddy flirting with him).

With Sunshine though I do think he was intentionally going a bit far (not that I’m saying he wanted to hurt her - but he did want to sicken her - get her to stop the bliddy flirting with him).
Carpet
burn night - He didn’t deliberately hurt her - she was laughing - Mario
was joining in - but he did WANT her in that pool - he wanted her to
learn a lesson. Then she goes into hysterics about her FANNY being out
on TV - and she was a PROFESSIONAL - a doctor no less. Well I’m sorry -
but DON’T GO ON BB then. Not only that but she acted SCARED of John -
she wouldn’t leave the diary room - and BB called for Mario to come and
get her. FFS - she was One Mother of a Drama Queen.
The next day John wanted nothing to do with her - she had thought better about it and knew she’d been over the top. He swore he wouldn’t ever speak to her again - because she’d pissed him off - and while he had felt a bit sorry for her - it didn’t hurt him one little bit if he NEVER had any contact with her again." (Whycan'tIbecheforlover)

(Whycan'tIbecheforlover)
Any apology that he received from Josie (and we know she did at first) he maybe didn't feel was sincere. They were both obviously angry and hurting but did they CARE that they had also been responsible for devastating the person they once loved? Or were they only concerned about their own pain and the way the other was damaging their public perception? In the chicken coop, John was unable to get away from Sunshine and the arguments she wanted to start/continue.. but John took himself away from Josie and their rows, by flying back home to the other side of the world!
On why John was able to eventually forgive Sunshine but can't seem to forgive Josie - "Sunshine didn't matter and Josie did. I think if someone doesn't matter you can cut them more slack but someone that had your heart letting you down isn't forgiven easily. Maybe John put Josie on a massive pedestal and so her fall from grace was that much further. I sometimes think about the board that don't lie, he rated her so highly on all the positive characteristics and so lowly on the bad ones." (Muddyminded)
Sunshine is still depressed because (she's alone and no one loves her).. John doesn't want to be her friend and she doesn't know what else she can do. Ben perceives that she has done her best. Mario quizzes if she has to be friends with every single person in the house.
SUNSHINE: (heavy-hearted) Yeah, because I really like John as a person! I just wish he.. I don't know like.. I don't know how many times I can say sorry for like.. he says 'you've gone in there, you've made me look like a complete idiot in front of 6 million people!'
Mario huffs that John makes an idiot of himself. Ben backbites that John does this out of boredom and because he's an attention seeker. Sunshine then whines that John had called her an attention seeker and she probably is!
BEN: We all are a bit.
DAVE: I'd like to spend more time with you but I just see those walls.. and it's hard, it's hard to get past there, you know.
He feels like he just has to keep away because John has built those things up. He doesn't agree totally with what Josie said, as there are instances where John gets provoked but thinks there is some truth in what she's saying.
In Dave's mind, there is some stuff that needs to be sorted and that the pressure of coming in there has popped things. Dave determines that John is finding it really difficult and that things get on top of him.
"Well the thing is they all wanted to get along, John wasn't prepared to let Sunshine's massive stab in the back go just to rejoin the get-along-gang. He probably was doing everyone's heads in but that doesn't mean he's wrong. I think John was carrying a lot of unresolved grief over his dad but this instance had nothing to do with it. What some people call 'issues' I call low on the agree-ability scale. I think some of the anger and the short fuse were related to his Dads death but not the walls. He is just a naturally sensitive person and he wants to know his friends meet his code of ethics and are as loyal as he is." (Muddyminded)
Plus the poor guy had a headache (he asked Josie to get some paracetamol from the Diary room for him but BB wouldn't let her pass any on) - the bassas!, having been out there for hours in the sun with few breaks, in a sweltering chicken suit, having to read the same jokes on repeat, couldn't get the frick away from the whoresradish and was feeling like crap over practically being accused of abuse by BB! So of course he was going to have hostile reactions and give it back being an the most forthright and argumentative Aussie there ever was.
JOSIE: (laughs) Oh no!
Q - How do you make a blondes eyes twinkle?
JOSIE: (a clock ticks indicating her time has started) Have I gotta answer it now? (horn honks as her time is up) Show her a massive penis!
Like most things she says, this is pure comedy gold :D
A - Shine a torch in her ear!
JOSIE: Ah, I know this one! (waits for the countdown and moves her head in time with the ticking) Danger-ous!!
A - An air bag.
Q - What do you get when you offer a blonde a penny for her thoughts?
JOSIE: (correctly answers) Change! (she likes this one as it makes her giggle)
Q - How do you keep a blonde in suspense?
A - We'll tell her later.
Josie is racking her brain for this one but doesn't seem to have any inkling. You can almost see the cogs turning :D
They stand back as ice lollies are dropped through the ceiling onto the floor. The 'men' get to work licking away and bashing the ice to find the answer on the lolly stick.
SHABBY: (steadfast) We have to win this one, ladies!!
Shabster is first to successfully find the corresponding ice lolly stick 'no eye dear!' She sticks it to BB, holding it up triumphantly to the camera as her team mates cheer.
Dr Gill surmises that if either are evicted, the other will also walk out. Dave can't see that happening but John thinks Shabs will.
STEVE: (skeptical) I think she's talking out of her arse!!
JOHN: I really think Shabs will. I'm not sure, the other way round though.
BB bears tidings of great joy, that 'why did the chicken cross the road ends now!' which is music to their hairy ears. Much to the relief of our feathered friends, who were getting in a bit of a flap and run-down from ruling their roost. John manages to muster a lukewarm 'yay' as he and Dave high-five.
Caoimhe claims the victory as she ppppppppicks up a penguin from the plethora, with the answer on the wrapper: a sunburnt penguin! Cue another short-lived celebration :)
In the bathroom, the lady of the evening is adding insult to injury, as she scolds her little chicken man.
JOSIE: (beseeches) I'm just.. please, asking you - stop being that angry guy.
Mario also has an announcementington (yes I am using Miranda vernacular now!) for him too about him arguing with Sunshine. John struggles to get a word in edgeways, while Josie takes him to task that it's not just him and Sunshine 'it's you and whoever, it's like everyday!'
JOHN: (he's mother-plucking pooped) I've been tired because I've been sitting there counting how many times a chicken crossed the road!
There are not enough enteraining chicken jokes in the world to have made that endurance task worth it!
Next in the task corner, comes a cascade of crackers crashing out of the chute. They fish through the debris for the punchline to the joke 'what do you call a sheep with no legs?' Shabby is hopeful that Sunshine will find this one so they have all got one.
SUNSHINE: This is the best! I love cracking crackers!!
Little things...? :D Sunshine does indeed find the answer - a cloud! Shabby is so pleased and the comrades all have a jolly group hug!
She'd thought she had a nice, strong connection with Caoimhe and Shabby but over the last couple of days her eyes have been opened. She doesn't need to be part of a group as she likes to think for herself, make her own decisions and have her own opinions.
The worst thing that could happen to her in the house, is for people to automatically think she agrees with everything they say - because she's not like that!
Cabby (Shabby and Caoimhe) are whispering in bed; Shabs says for Caoimhe not to be scared but Kiev finds it hard not to be. Shabby considers it to be a bit of a b*llocks situation as she never wanted to be up at the same time as her chum.
SHABBY: Thing is, if you want to go .. then why are you so bothered? (Caoimhe doesn't know) Maybe you don't want to go.
She unconvincingly contends that she does. Highlights finish and Davina discloses the HM's have successfully passed 90% of their tasks, so it is now all riding on Ben for the most nerve-racking 90 seconds of his life.
The cameras cut live to the house, Ben changes the lyrics to Tom Jones' classic 'It's not unusual to go out at any time!' then some of the HM's ba dum ba dum ba dum the theme tune to Pink Panther.
His other HM's are able to watch via the plasma TV in the lounge. The doors open for Ben (the bluecoat) and his big, blonde kahunas as he greets the cheers with a royal wave. He lauds it up, thanking the ladies and gentlemen and welcomes them to his part of the show, all 90 seconds of it in fact :D 'It's a pleasure to be booed by you!'
Some of his jokes include a Carly Simons lyric - nobody does it better 'though perhaps Davina does!' Talk about oxymorons and being a moron himself and that a mobile home is not mobile as it is on stilts and not going anywhere. He mentions something I don't understand about his hair being like Margaret Thatcher after the Falklands War.
Ben is unable to pull out his real zingers about the HM's as the crowd are applauding and cheering so loudly. He thanks Sunshine for being the only vegan who doesn't eat vegetables; the mention of her name gets boos and jeers. His time is up, Davina thought he did quite well.
BEN: I've never looked like a Marks and Spencers model. Good night, God bless! (blows some kisses and goes back through the doors)
Davina is given word from BB that Ben had passed his part of the task; he is in the background being hugged and loved on by his HM's.
When she reaches the top, she pouts one final time into the mirror, then turns around and went all Hollywood on the HM's she leaves behind - blowing a kiss and waves, before facing the sea of boos.
She struts out to the song playing in her honour (Steal my sunshine by Len) refusing to take the dramatics down even a notch, as she glorifies in the crowd. She's only to pleased to strike a pose for the paps, that she spent hour upon hour perfecting in the BB mirrors :D
JOHN: (groans) She's singing! We don't wanna hear that sh*t!
Sunshine expected worse boos so thought her reception was alright. She received 42% of the vote and it was between her and Caoimhe. Jokester quips that she thought she was nominated as she didn't share her crisps until the day after. She'd cried over crispgate as she felt terrible for upsetting Ife.
In her first week, she received a record 10 nominations which she 'whoops' about! In a weather report montage of her stormy side, we are warned that too much Sunshine can be bad for our health. On a good point, Sunshine announces she and John are friends again. He just needed time and gets quite angry and had come to her today saying he wanted to be friends.
She lets slip that John wears some of the jewellery she'd made, so she left him a surprise under his pillow which is quite sweet. Davina asks if the pool debacle was just flirting gone wrong but Sunshine side-steps the flirting aspect of the question.. she'd found it funny the first two times but that time he gave her carpet burns which are really painful!
One caller says that there seemed to be some sexual tension (HUH???) and a love/hate relationship with John James, so asks if she was ever jealous of his friendship with Josie. Sunshine replies she wasn't because Josie is a lovely, lovely person and she gets annoyed with John too.
Davina turns over to Bob Righter to deliver the wrath of the Tree to Ben. As it changes back to the house, John is stating that as soon as Sunshine's name was mentioned there was booing. As Bobby comes to life, it is widely assumed that Mario will be getting a treat day from Sunshine.
Bobby creeps Josie out 'he's horrible!'; Mario mentions that it might not be for him.
JOHN: Of course, it's gonna be for you, Mario!
Ben doesn't quite understand and takes the message from Mario, to read over.
JOHN: He's gonna get shafted, yeah. I knew that wasn't your proper punishment! I was like 'nah, he'll have a harder punishment than that!'
Shabby suspects Ben may be going to some sort of jail; Josie reckons Ben's taking a liking to his black shirt. The voice over man apologises for the start of the show, as Elstree studios had a power failure.
JOHN: You'll probably just have to go in the task room, Benny. I wouldn't be stressing. It's not gonna be real bad!
This ends the eviction show.
Someone tweeted into the show, that John James should have thrown Sunshine back into the pool before she left. When Sunshine finally comes on in Part 4, Jodie tells her that John was an idiot and couldn't understand why she still wanted to be his friend. Sunshine explains he had said sorry and is lovely but has 2 sides.
SUNSHINE: The sweetest, nicest person.. he's quite sensitive, he'll cry and he's always stuck up for me, he's stuck up a lot for me. And the other side he gets into such moods and he argues quite a lot.
JODIE MARSH: So he's not always a nice person?
SUNSHINE: No, no! If he was nice all the time he'd be perfect!
JARED CHRISTMAS: But he is sexy though, isn't he?
SUNSHINE: He's a bit hot! Just a little bit. I don't fancy him!
Someone from t'interweb asks if Sunshine was jealous of John and Josie's flirtations. She moans that everyone keeps asking that and she's not as Josie doesn't like him. (in that way) Davina cuts in that she might find, Josie does a bit the audience agree. She'd spoken to Josie yesterday who had jested she didn't know why Sunshine wanted to be friends with him as she didn't. Jared interjects that Josie wants to be lovers and Davina tells truthfully that Josie fancies the pants off him.
Davina describes him as Australian, looks alright in a football kit and has a fiery temper. She asks Jared to explain the phenomenon of John James to her. Jared concludes that he is a lone wolf trying to create his own gang and people find that attractive. He jokes that Australians are lonely people 'who else would invent a stick that comes back to ya?'
JARED: He's straight out of Home and away, he's good looking and he lets that dazzle people!
He also thinks he does the little boy confused thing which the girls think is so cute and that he will win. Jodie disagrees, she believes if his bleached blonde hair, hood always up, the angry look on his face and 6 pack is stripped away but doesn't complete her thought as Davina drools that it sounds hot!
The fellow reading the tweets finds John incredibly boring and thinks people only listen to him because he's good looking 'he talks bullsh*t!' Davina decides that Josie is the voice of reason with him and that she diffused the argument between him and Sunshine.
Sunshine has been given a Lady Gaga makeover in the break and she performs Bad romance with coke cans in her hair. She loves Mario, he's her best friend. Davina wants to see the carpet burns after Sunshine informs them Mario poked it and she can show them. Then voluntarily exposes her entire thigh and peels off the dressing which has Jodie coming over all squeamish.
It looks nasty but Jared squeals for her to show viewers the juice on the bandage - GROSSGROSS! The audience then applaud her for being so 'brave!' She had no qualms about being ultra revealing body parts live on BBBM though :P
To give Sunshine some credit, she actually looked quite lovely on her eviction (granny fascinator aside) and despite her irritating the crap out of everyone she made for a good HM. BB11 would not have been the same without her zaniness.
