10.02am, There's a robot in the bathroom!
10.11am, John sniffs his socks and is talking to Josie about refusing
to nominate someone to take his place if he wins the S&R. 'Nominating makes me a hypocrite', he says.
10.15am, Ben and John in bathroom, both have failed to notice the
robot. Ben asks John James to stop teasing him about fancying Corin
when Corin is around. John James is fine with that. Ben says he does
find Corin attractive and a nice person but she's not his type.
“Immediately after they had argued, John completely switched into
lost boy mode, and Josie went right on the defensive & making out
she wasn't bothered by it at all. Both of them were 'off' with
themselves right up until they made up yesterday. John sitting up in
his bed during the night, biting away at his nails and Josie
fidgeting about, unable to sleep. Yesterday morning was much like a
facade that Josie was putting on, pretending she wasn't bothered -
yet all she did was talk about it. John was trying to take the upper
hand and show Josie that she couldn't push his buttons by having a
little swearing match with her in the garden, hilariously showing the
exact opposite; that Josie can push his buttons. All of this
just wouldn't be happening if they didn't care for each other. And it
wouldn't be so intense if the feelings were similar to those they
have for their other 'friends' in there.
I found the
conversation in the bathroom when they were snuggling quite
interesting. John has clearly learnt a lot about Josie; its not just
her that's learning about him. He said to her, jokingly as not to aggravate her, that she was pretending to not be bothered by their
argument in the morning by laughing around with the others. She
denied it but he remained firm that is what she was doing. On a
couple of other occasions John has called her out on her facade too -
like the time they were in the snug and Josie was saying John could
never hurt her as she could only be hurt by people she really loves.
He told her that was her telling herself how she wants it to be, what
she wants to be the truth - but its not, 'you know that deep down,
and I know that'.
I think they have one of those relationships which thrives every time it is tested. Because every time they hit a speed bump, they slow down but they never stop completely. They take stock of the situation, and they learn from it - even though they may not realise this initially.
They are becoming more comfortable with each other as the days progress. They may not like to admit it; but they are so attached to one another. If one goes outside, the other soon follows. They started out bantering, moving on to the odd flirt and now they have added in the 'touchy feely' stuff. This is an example of how much their relationship is progressing. Both of them have quite playful personalities, but they make it clear that they are only like this with each other. John ensured any playfighting etc with Sunshine, was done in a very brother/sister type fashion whilst Josie ensures that Nathan doesn't get to cuddle up to her etc the way John does. They both like to beat around the bush with each other; but when it comes down to it, deep down I think they do know where they stand. They get vulnerable at times; like last night when they were talking about the new HM's and Josie got worried about being jealous and John running off with 'another Sheila'. It's moments like this which make them freak out a bit and seek reassurance from the other. Up until about a week ago, I was convinced neither knew how the other felt; but more and more I see they do know, deep down - they are just scared to take the leap in case the other isn't ready.
As much as I hate that John is up for eviction, I do think it could be good for JJJ. Josie was really upset when Govan left - he was her friend and she adored him. Her connection with John is even stronger than this now. When she finds out he is up and there is a potential risk that she could lose him come Friday, she will screaming inside. John will not be bothered about being up, but he will be equally as bothered about leaving Josie. This week I reckon we will be in for more chats and JJJ moments; they will want to spend as much time with each other as they can and I think Josie will wake up a bit and realise not everyone is her friend in there. She will become quite protective imo.
I hope for the long-term sake of JJJ, that John wins the S&R today. When he realises he could be separated from Josie and the reality sinks in, I think he will try and win it. If he stays and new HM's come in, I don't think Josie has anything to worry about - it's clear from what I have said that John's connection with Josie is deeper than attraction. This is what freaks him out - cause he has never felt like that for someone before, and that's pretty obvious imo.” (Brit_x JJJAT)
10.32am, The robot has still not been spotted and Ben, Mario and Dave have all been in there too. Josie thinks time is going super fast in there. Steve thinks sometimes it drags. Ben is out of the bathroom he says he is going to bed at 8pm. Ben inadvertently flashed at Josie!
10.35am, Steve calls from the bathroom he has found the robot!! John just standing there staring at it when it started up . Dave has seen it before out of the house at a fair and that kids love it - the robot is moving !!! Dave says it's lush.
11.07am, Josie braves a cold shower and Corin is trying to get off 55 layers of eye make up!!!
11.36am, Ben in garden chatting to John about his/their progress in the house. Ben says he and Mario will always be there for John. Ben says he'll be stuffed if Dave leaves. Dave, John and Ben sit in the deckchairs eating cereal while Nathan jogs around the garden whilst talking with Dave about Rugby. Steve was in the kitchen eating his cereal, controversially not at the table this time, but learning up against the counter-top like John Wayne!

Dave, John and Ben sit in the deckchairs eating cereal while Nathan jogs around the garden whilst talking with Dave about Rugby. Steve was in the kitchen eating his cereal, controversially not at the table this time, but learning up against the counter-top like John Wayne!
Now he's in the bathroom
chatting with the robot, and he has decided to call him Galactor. As
the robot continues to ignore him, Steve wonders how he's supposed to
judge Galactor when he's doing owt. Meanwhile, Corin, Caoimhe and
Josie have been talking about what they're wearing in the bedroom.
11.52am, Mario thinks "Galactor" is an alien
Dave
shoots foxes and rabbits, Josie shoots clay pigeons. she cried her
eyes out when her brothers took her fishing...she was supposed to
kill the fish and she couldn't do it, it wouldn't die.
12.17pm, JJJ sitting next to each other, looking like a real couple...awww on the grass in the garden, chatting with a few of the others.
12.50pm, Caoimhe saying she's having her wedding in there (just proposed to Dave on camera in Diary room). Ben for best Man, Steve giving her away. Dave officiating.
1.10pm, John mentions something about Govan singling Mario out after the mole ordeal. Ben says he seemed to seek out friendships with people with more clout. They're still trying to work out how Govan might have been perceived. Ben is describing how Shabby 'stole' Caoimhe and Ife away from the rest of the group, Nathan agrees too.
E4 Live feed:
Nathan is doing the whole bonding thing with the boys and believes that until recently he wasn't being true to himself on the programme. So is this unpleasant man trying to make out to his cohorts that he's not abrasive and kinda impatient and generally bleurkyyyy?? He says for them to look at little Ifester, for as soon as she broke away from that isolation she's come into her own and is like a whole new woman. This is the conversation shown on the HL's where Nathan thinks it will do Caoimhe a world of good, as it will force her into being part of the group.
NATHAN: (now Caoimhe must come out of her ying yang) It was her choice to stay out..
Ben is glad to report that people are now realising this is why he had troubles with Shabby to begin with but just let it go. As Ben had good relationships from Day 1 with Caoimhe and Ife, would have nice chats with them (Ife about music, Caoimhe about Ireland and politics) and he genuinely felt privileged to know them. But from Day 3 or 4, they were so under Shabby's control in the bathroom that this relationship was gone! He'll be honest he slightly resented that as he felt he had made 2 friends that were basically snatched from him because Shabby didn't want them to mix with other people.
Nathan also felt that the three girls did isolate themselves having formed such a tight pact and as the weeks went on he didn't want to be a part of that. It was hindering his experience being around people who were miserable and stropping all the time 'it influenced my personality greatly! It hampered me!' Now he's ready to return to serving and 'delighting'?
Something else Ben found interesting was that Nathan knew them a lot less then and knows he is teased for being lazy and sometimes is.. 'But actually all of us always from Day 1 helped to tidy a bit in the kitchen and dishes and stuff afterwards.' Now getting to the 'interesting' part - that Ben had never seen some in the smokers group do a dish in the whole time they were here!
Nathan feels bad for holding his tongue with them but it suppressed a lot in him as at the start he kept his opinions to himself. 'I never spoke out of turn really..when you bottle stuff up, it does drag you down!' He argues that if you're in a room full of people crying it's only a matter of time before you will be too. 'If 9 people out of 10 are laughing, the chances are that you're the 10th person and you will start laughing! You feed off other peoples' emotions.'
This is why if Ben goes through a spell (SC) he keeps to himself and just chats to friends on the phone because he doesn't want to bring people down. So he rides it out, achieve somethings 'write a song .. and when you're well you're well!' Nathan says it just goes to show that we are inadvertently influenced by the people around you.
NATHAN: (eager to start spreading that love and sunshine around) Even if you're the most grumpy, narky person.. eventually you're gonna warm up!
Which is why Ben feels that Dave is such a joy to be around as he's always always happy and this has made his stay happier. Because Nathan didn't spend the time to get to know Dave and Ben at the start and a lot of people in the other group had issues with them.. he was around that and wasn't finding out for himself. (SC) It then meant that he based impressions on what other people know.
JOHN: (passes down his wisdom) Cos you have to, cos you've got no other choice.
Basically Nathan had been going off what he thinks he knew (from others opinions) about what a person is. Nathan explains that it's like reading a book about someone 'you don't know the person but you have a generalisation of what they're about.' And if that doesn't sit with you then you're not going to want to meet them or spend time. So he's disappointed that he didn't get to know people from the start as the month would have gone a lot better.
Nathan's not ashamed to say it, that in the final week and a half of Shabby he very rarely spoke to her as he didn't want to be around her. It's not that he hated or disliked her, he just didn't want to be around miserable people (and wished she'd left her negativity at home!) 'everybody's got their good points and their bad points but for me, it suits me being around happy people.. cos it suits my personality. It's just fact. There's no real intelligence in saying that, it's just common sense.'
DAVE: (How many times can he use the word precious, before it becomes redundant?) Look at Josie, so precious Jose!
JOSIE: (he's so hippydippy, she can't stand it) Precious? (SC as Nathan grabs hold of her leg, so she has to hobble and give him a nipple twist or something to make him let her go!)
Today, Dave is reading the words of Our Lord which are so good; Nathan checks if the recitals are gonna start. (SC) John was the very picture of awkwardness when Seahorse was touching his woman so he initiates physical contact and they push each other around! (SC)
JOHN: It's a bit boring, isn't it? (leaps onto her and cosies up between her thighs) (SC)
JOSIE: (it's a delightful phrase) Shut your mop!
JOHN: (lunges for her ears, working her last nerve as he sings) She's got the lobiest lobes you'll ever know!!
JOSIE: (De-cutes it) Just cos they're bigger than your peanut head, doesn't mean you've gotta do that!
He giggles naughtily and turns to face her so that he can fumble and fondle with her face again. John is addicted to her and always seems happier and freer in her company. It's cute how he's almost like an adoring fan, all flitty eyelashes, flirty and he's feeling frisky!
These 2 young hotsy totsies had a once wonderful relationship, envied by all.. but like Humpty Dumpty their loving took a great fall :( It was intense this thing John had for Josie and Josie for John.. but in all too quick of a flash that enchantment was gone. If only everything had not gone to hell... then one sweet day we'd be hearing a wedding bell! :(
JOSIE: (the only thing sure to stop the flirting thing they've got going on) I've just had a cigarette. I smell like fag ash Lil! (SC)
John takes the hint that he's kinda been a pain in her ass and gets off the bed. Dave can't wait to meet Jesus as he's so beautiful and full of love. John hadn't heard the start of Dave's sentence to Ben so to demands 'who?' he can't wait to meet.
DAVE: My Lord (SC)
John has put on the aviator cap from the coin-operated ride task and is making aeroplane noises, looking over animatedly at Josie as he does so. Caoimhe compliments him for looking very handsome in it!
JOSIE: (trying to figure out what she sees in him?) Sometimes he is, sometimes he's not.
Dave reckons there'll be 5 HM's up today and so does Josie.
JOHN: You think there'll be 5 up too?
John throws himself down upon the bed Dave and Ben are reading Bibles in and has his head pinned back by a pin-headedly Ben. John asks in a judging, disapproving way 'what's the Looooord saying?' Dave replies that he says He loves you, man (SC) After vaselining her lips, Caoimhe has climbed into bed next to Josie. They try to get John to show Caoimhe his Bristolian impression but he's reluctant to as 'she heard it last night!'
He pushes down at Josie in protest (she is off screen) but their cajoling 'Come on John' continues so he asks Josie for a reminder of the song again.
Mario is on about when a foetus develops in the womb, we get hit by different levels of radiation in our solar orbit which could influence how you develop. Ife definitely agrees but she'd said it not to talk about science just to use it as an example. She likens this to how Mario had already told himself Ben reminded him of Cameron, he'd have been looking for any possible thing that would stand out and remind him of Cameron and then get attached.
MARIO: (but now finds Ben vapid and selfish) That's the mistake I made.
She assuages him not to feel bad about it as all humans do it and asks if he's heard her job interview analogy. Ife might have used it on John when he was going mad at Rachael. So she dispenses that as soon as you walk through the door, the job interviewer will .. she keeps stopping and starting as Mario throws away her cigarette, not wanting her to smoke. Then she looks for the lighter (SC) Mario advises her to keep everything in one place so it can't go anywhere and she then won't lose things.
As she searches under the cushions, she rants that people can't seem to get to grips that they can't walk away with it in their pocket there (as they naturally would do outside)! She moans 'Oh Mariooo! Right, there's 5 people I need to ask.. well 4.' as she goes inside to ask if anyone happens to have it, Mario spins around the carousel pole. About 30 seconds after, he finds 2 on the ground and starts sparking with them as he hee hee's.
Ife comes running out having seen this 'you are a joker!! You are a complete idiot!' She wrestles with him to get the lighter out of his hands but he runs off with it. Ife rebukes him to stop as no one else is going to find it funny. (ad break) Ife thinks this is why they have all come here, to find out the truth about themselves because they have their own opinions about their good and bad points. So now they are letting the British public decide if they are: good, bad, stupid or an unimportant person!
She would be so devastated if nobody booed or cheered when she leaves because she wasn't interesting enough. Mario philosophises that we can't really create new futures and possibilities for yourself until you accept the truth - even the negative parts. (SC) From a really stark, bleak point of view he says that he's a 28 year old gay man, who has spent a lot of his life hiding who he really is from friends and family. He doesn't feel that he's achieved anything career-wise or financially. Ife reaches out that he needs to get to the point where he can look in the mirror and say 'that was me and I've learnt from it and now this is what I'm gonna do!'
Ife bends the ear of the man with the hair, chin and glasses of Clark Kent - that he'll waste time going round in circles, thinking how he could have done something better. She suggests that he needs to decide in his mind what he wants and how he's going to get it, then only focus on that. Then everything will align itself and things will start coming to him that he doesn't even know are there.
All her life, she has been very, very self-critical and very realistic about herself and her abilities. Being in such a competitive industry, she gets told 'no' far more times than she hears 'yes' so has to be able to step out of it to analyse why she wasn't picked. She reminds Mario that he has the whole fashion thing which he loves and has so many ideas; he mopes that he's done nothing with it. Is he expecting that easy must be right around the corner?
Seeing that Mario is stuck in a giant hole of depression, Ife determines that he needs to sit down, see himself where he wants to be and only think of that and believe that he will be there. She tells him that the fear will go if all he can paint is pretty (mental) pictures; though this he feels is only creating new illusions. Ife calls it visualising and that it could be looked at on a spiritual level.
Fear comes in as people are afraid that they'll be upset if they don't get what they visualise, so imagine the worst and then if good happens - great! Ife persuades that doing this is putting yourself behind someone else who is thinking of the best. If it doesn't work then the person will deal with it, the way they've prepared themselves 'so why waste your time thinking about all the things that could go wrong or might not happen?'
It is better to instead, think of all the things you know and hope and want to happen. Then if they don't happen - deal with being upset and depressed afterwards! Lots of people (including Ife) have a fear of failure and this stops people from doing things. She mentions how some people have a phobia of flying when really they are afraid of falling to the ground and dying.
In the bedroom, John asks if someone is referring to Royal Mail 'the amount of times, I've got involved with your post!' (SC as he tells them in no uncertain terms how sh*t he finds our postal system) Ben imitates John 'at the end of the day I don't expect this!' Josie laughs that he would have told them he's gettin' angry now!
JOHN: (there was a bit of a flare up) They copped a few 'gettin' angries, don't worry about that! Don't you worry! They copped it! I wanted to know (SC)
Back out to Ife, using the plane and being scared of crashing as an analogy of fear controlling and taking over your life. Mario's only just started ripping the illusions away from himself as he'd spent the last 5 years wrapping himself up in really comfortable illusions. But 2010 he decided they all had to come off whether he liked it or not, he never had any inhibitions but lots of self-illusions about his life and who he thought he and his friends were. (SC)
Ife had watched a TV show about Lauryn Hill unplugged; one day she had to re-introduce herself to her family and everyone she knew as they didn't really know the real her because she had put up a wall and presence of living an immaculate life. She was always so worried about ruining her voice that she never really got to enjoy herself.
NATHAN: It can take years to recognise yourself.
IFE: Every day, you learn something new.. you don't wake up the same way.
Nathan had spent a lot of time thinking he wanted to be someone he wasn't and he shouldn't want to be like everyone else. Ife testifies that this is putting yourself in a box and that there is no standard on normality 'you set your own standard and then go from there!' Nathan thinks it is important to keep as individual as you can and that it can take years to be comfortable in your own skin.
Ife really believes that nobody goes to bed and wakes up the same person as they were the day before 'I believe every day, you wake up different!' Mario cheeks that she only has to look at the last 48 hours of herself!
IFE: (she's walked away a winner) 48 hours ago, I was like BAM BAM BAM, LET ME OUT and now today, I'm like - I love life!! And I had to go through that to get to here.
The environment they are in is proper intense and Ife feels really lucky as what they learn in there, would take normal people maybe about 10 years. 'Bring it on Big Brother, bring it on! You wanna play this game - let's play it!' That's why she was so upset the other night, as she'd finally let go of her inhibitions and found the guts to just go for it and then got thrown back to the ground. But now she feels she can live and not be afraid someone will take the mick because it's already happened!
John is explaining that Brad Pitt is a little bit shorter and weighs slightly more (than himself??) he approximates that Brad weighs 73 kilos. When Brad and Jennifer Aniston broke up, Caoimhe was definitely Team Jolie (I was Team Aniston) ; John cuts her off that he wasn't and was extremely mixed/p*ssed can't tell either way. (SC)
Outside, Mario is showing Nathan and Ife the part of a shoe which is where the bunion rests - he actually has on Nathan's shoes!! Nathan is not too fond of Mario's feet being in his trainers because it's the only part of his body that he is actually concerned about. Ife gloats that Mario hadn't learnt his lesson from offending Ben with his comment 'you've got a right hairy back!' which was something Ben had been worried about.
NATHAN: If I had a complex about that, I wouldn't be walking around barefoot all day!
He doesn't worry about peoples' perception of his body one iota but winds Mario up that some people could. Nathan has had too much Mario-ness and makes the smart remark that 'I think Mario doesn't understand that he's an absolute b*tch! You're a mean girl!' (SC) Nate thinks he ought to be better as he's been rolling tabs (for his fags) since he was 15; Mario assumes there's a connoisseur skill to it. Ife intends to practise her entire time in there so she can be better than Nathan outside.
Ife is always going to automatically blame Mario for having the lighter now when she can't find it, as he was the boy who cried wolf! Nathan doesn't mind at all but is curious why Mario is wearing his boots; he'd thought they were Ben's task shoes so put them on (because Ben's always getting stuff that doesn't belong to him out of the wardrobe!) Apparently Josie has also been getting about in Nathan's pumps! (only a fiver a pair from Primark, look smart under jeans and can be thrown away when knackered)
Seahorse also has a crisp, black pair that you can get anywhere in and are so comfortable to wear. Ife has boot ones that she wears with denim hot pants; she ain't a heel girl, so wears those and tries to make an outfit work so she can have a good night! (SC)
NATHAN: You can't shock out in heels!
IFE: (Girls you gotta stop partying like this in a pair of platforms) No, of course you can't! And any girl who tells you they can - you're lying!
Nathan makes the valid point that feet are not meant to be stuffed up that way; he asks how many girls they see at the end of the night having to carry their shoes (because their feet hurt from dancing in them). Ife laughs that Josie has to walk down the street because she's lost hers! She suggests that maybe Mario could design his own (shoes) with a joke on it. (Ad break) During the break, John tells Josie that he looked like a resident from Village of the Damned, as his hair was white when he was a kid. Josie asks John if he's sure he's 24.
JOSIE: (but she loves him so much she doesn't mean it) Speaking to you sometimes, is like talking to like.. a 16 year old!
JOHN: (pouty) Yeah, well what's your problem? You don't wanna be my friend no more? Is that what you're trying to say?
JOSIE: (quells this immediately) Noooo (pulls him back against her as she lays in bed and cuddles up to him)
JOHN: (there's nothing he wants more with all of his soul than Josie's friendship) You don't wanna be my friend no more? (SC as she rubs up and down his chest)
JOSIE: (Resumes her attempts to sweeten him up) I love 'im I do! I love 'im!!
Josie tickles John, so he takes hold of her hand to break it off with a playful 'stop it!' The cuddleage comes to a crashing close as John jolts 'AHHH! You bit my back! Who bites backs??' You'd think Caoimhe would leave the two of them to their flirtatious banter as the tickling and giggling picks up again - but no, their resident gooseberry, she stays in bed!
John reaches for her hand and hurts her back somehow; she screams 'owwww!' and he returns the OWWWW as (her volume) 'that hurt my ear!!'
JOSIE: Come on, don't be horrible to your Auntie Josie.
He chuckles at her titling herself 'Auntie' and lays his head contentedly on her arm, wrapping his own around her. It is heartwarming to see the power couple lie together, teasing and tantalising, having a perfectly lovely time. Josie snuggles closer still around his chest and Johnny boy's not complaining ;) Wouldn't it be so horrible if they never got to hug ever again? :(
In the lounge, Corin awww's that the Baron is asleep and snoring away with one eye open; she thinks he must be worn out. Mario mentions that Dave overtook Steve last night in the snoring stakes; it couldn't be helped because he'd had a curry and snores whenever he eats late. Nathan exclaims for the serial snorer not to sugar-coat it!
Though Steve's snoring is loud, Mario describes it as having more of an even tone to it whereas Dave's is more erratic. Nathan wants to section him next to sleep because Dave can fall asleep at the drop of a hat; Dave refuses!
Dave heeheehee's that he once was laughing and joking at night, Nathan went to have a cigarette and Dave was already snoring when he returned! No, Nathan thinks he should be sectioned 'in more ways than one!' There's no way Dave will move down next to the Baron even though he and Steve trump more than anyone else. Some days he can't sleep through Steve snoring and jests with Corin that she's sharing a bed with Baron tonight 'once he farts, he'll blow you straight over the room!'
NATHAN: (He's a comedian that one!) Like a crisp bag in a gust of wind!
Mario and the cameramen catch Corin with her hands down her top; she's pulling hairs off her chest as 'it makes you stronger, you know?' Doubting that this will make for a very attractive aspect on the dating scene for Cozza!!
NATHAN: (Corin I'm sure could give a rat's tushie about this!) More stream-line for sports!
Dave and Corin hope no one goes this week; Josie's yelps and screams of pain can be heard in the living room through the walls - John must be torturing her!! ;) Corin knows something will stay go on on Friday as Davina will still be there and hopes for new HM's. (Long SC)
John giving Josie a whopper of a wedgie is revealed to be the reason behind Josie's bloodcurdling screams! Their childish larks had continued in the bedroom throughout the conversation in the lounge, which we had left JJJ in favour of!!
John's looking thoroughly pleased with the product of his high jinks as he prowls around, Josie pleading with John through giggliness 'John pleeeeease. Owww! JOHN!!' They'd been having so much filthy fun together but now Josie is struggling to unhook the wedge he's left behind - up her behind!! Who knew that behind such a sweet face, lived the soul of a scampish scally wag? :D
He approaches the bed, but only to cheekily chuckle and peels back the doona so that the nation can see Josie's backside and the black panties that John rammed up her butt crack!!
JOSIE: (plaintive cries) John, please!! JOHN, JOHN!!
John has left her exposed and with the obstruction up her ass, LOL-ing at his handiwork 'if I coulda got that round your shoulders..' the sentence is broken off by his snickers.
JOSIE: (begging) Give me some dignity!! (she is laughing too seeing the funny side)
John slumps his head on top of her back then ignores her protests, whilst restraining her with some ooooh-ing and typewritering! (SC) She thanks God when he gets off but she moans with twinges of soreness when she rolls over onto her back! Josie stretches out giving John and viewers a good look at the ahem.. damage to her derriere!
She manages to unshackle her bottom from bondage, liberating herself from the torment.
JOSIE: You.. you've just... ow!!
John no longer possesses the ability to speak, due to his regalement of Josie's PANTS predicament! He cannot hide his amusement as he mentally photographs every moment of Josie's shame and embarrassment. Josie stands to pick all the underwear out, John has to cover his face as he laughs so hard!
He lays back on bed to get a panoramic picture of the pants and her angst; the fact that he wanted a better sighting of the spectacle is a compliment of the highest order. (SC) A wedgie is meant to be seen!! :P
JOSIE: (shock robs her mouth of words) You've ju.. do you know what you've just done?
Neither can complete an utterance because their chortles are too all-consuming! Josie gives up, lowers her head and slinks away shame-facedly with the residual wedgie still on display, over the top of her jeans. John cracks up harder, that when she got the reflection of it was hilarious.
Not only had John ransacked the private inner sanctum of her privates but he had chosen to mortify Josie more - as his first choice of entertainment! :D He's a great mocker and she has a sensational sense of humour to take it so light-heartedly!
JOHN: (looks at her as a thing of amusement) You're like that.. (comes over to the closet to replicate the way she had stood and struggled, tottering and swaying in an ape-like manner as she made her way away!!)
He turns away, allowing Josie some privacy once he spots that she is unzipping her trousers. But not before getting in another animated dig at Josie digging out her underpants stuck uncomfortably between her buttocks!! Josie arghhhh's as she does so. (SC)
JOHN: (semi-hiding so he's not perving at Josie mid-undressing) God, that was funny!
Josie mimics this comment, having not found it as humourous being on the receiving end of the joke!!
JOSIE: (reels off his transgressions against her) You've just come over John, right.. give me a nose bleed nearly, give me the worst wedgie ever, elbowed me in my tuppence. Who'd you think you are??
John guffaws like an insane, sugar-laced kid and keeps turning back around trying to talk through his laughter 'I can't.. how can I sit there when ..' Josie again asks him 'who do you think you are?' he tries not to look directly at her, gesturing towards his own nether regions to point out the source of his grins and engrossment!! It is not yet shown on screen but Josie is stood before him, having taken her trousers down, engaging in this exchange with no trace of embarrassment.
He has to swivel round and bury his face against the wall to obscure his own timidity. Hoo-haaaaing that 'you're stood there having an argument with me, with your pants down your ankles!' Then leaves her with some space as she changes into a new pair of leggings; he discovers that the garden has been closed off as BB set up for the afternoon's task.
John jokes off camera with Dave about the Lord being such a good boy; Dave tells him he's horrible! (SC) Ife is taking a snooze.
DAVE: (killing John internally with this line) The rims of your angry little crab eyes!
John lets those in the lounge know that he had grabbed Josie's G-string; Corin aww's on Josie's behalf as he reproduces her 'who do you think you are?'s. Josie hadn't been phased at all by John seeing her in a state of undress so she clearly felt comfortable with a lack of apparel around him.
He's still in jolliment that Josie had been trying to have an argument with him with her pants down! A lot of what Nathan says is blanked out as per.. when he chats with Mario about gritty music. Mario had really liked Oxford and Neutrino's version of 'No good for me' (SC) he'd thought it was a very good rhythm. (SC) John playfights some more with Jose in the background.
JOHN: (bold and brassy) You gonna keep them up today or what? You wanna keep your teeth or..?
Josie hollers off camera with a cacophonous Samurai-sounding shriek. (SC)
JOHN: (plucky) HONKKKKK! (honks some body part of Josie's during their battle which we also do not get to see; cameras opting to screen another indepth snore discussion)
Nathan speaks up about the main offenders and perpetrators with his hand on his heart (SC) and owns up to snoring seldom times too. He doesn't know why Dave is almost ashamed of snoring, because he can't help it and they don't resent him for it but likes the way he won't admit to it. Dave doesn't agree that his is to the level of disruption when Steve blew 2 panels off the ceiling!! 'Like a cyclone going through!' (SC) (Ad break)
Looks like Ife has embraced Ben's cotton wool pad wearing over the eyelids, as they relax in bed! Ben's hoping this would catch on but they look kinda like douchefaces :D He tells her that he had the weirdest feeling in the world after having Nyquil and still not being able to sleep. (SC) In the lounge, Mario makes Caoimhe move over on the couch as he needs to keep an eye on Keith (Titan) so she lays into his lap, after requesting a back massge. (SC)
She asks if she'd told him she had proposed to her boyfriend in the Diary room; he didn't know but thinks it is excellent that they are going to have the wedding in the BB house! (SC as John comes out of the Diary room with his hands in the air) John questions if what Josie is doing/wearing is in preparation for the task.
Josie replies that she's getting pumped up for it and proceeds to do some star jumps on the spot. Until she is thrown off balance by John throwing something orange at her which hits her smack in the bosom!! She glares at him but he flirts back querying 'are you doing the tongue thing with me? Is it time is it?'
JOSIE: No that's the angry.. (Welcome to your funeral stare)
JOHN: Oh!! To the right means angry, to the left means ready to go! ;) (referring to sexual antics he'd like to engage in with her)
She demonstrates again her huffy face to show him what it's like and then follows this up with a saucy tongue thing. (SC) Then she deliberately bumps into him and calls it a joke when she goes in for a hit back as they scuffle. *Sigh* the trouble-making and the fun they once shared!!
JOSIE: (walks away, always leaving him wanting more) Joke, John!! (takes to the couch to lie down on top of it) Right, let's leave it out now, shall we?
This does not do a lot to prevent John from hurling objects towards her!! He mickey-takes her strangulated bursts of cachinnation, as he draws nearer to where she has led down.
JOSIE: (Really her heart is howling "WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE TOGETHER!!") Do you know what? I actually can't wait for some other Sheila to take you off my hands!!
She's talking crap and John knows these aren't the words of her heart, so laughs along as he positions himself behind Josie on the sofa. (SC) Caoimhe tells John he's actually wrecking her head, as his voice is going through her brain and he points out with his finger what he has just spied in his line of vision. You might say John was being a bug up her butt! :P
JOHN: (Mr Man is soon to be in 5 kinds of trouble) Do you wanna know what I think about this? (pings her thong and a very audible snap sound is heard)
The slutty mistress is loving it and chuckles away with John who is wowed by 'how good of a noise did that make?' She pushes him off and Mario concurs that it was quite a good slap sound; it had really hurt Keevil! John blows his imaginary trumpet heralding his triumph!
JOSIE: (just in this moment she hates him) He nearly broke my nose today, he's given me such a wedge, he's.. (SC)
She doesn't look overjoyed that John is now having flirtations with her bed partner; Caoimhe the crazy woman on the couch, of course is chuffed to now be the centre of attention!! MAKE IT STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!! Keevil takes immense delight in informing John that he is sooooo violent and Dave adds on that he's an angry little man. He cracks up but then sits next to her to say that he's not like that really.
There is rarely an occasion on TV where Caoimhe's presence doesn't make me want to be violently ill.. this is an instance where I definitely DO! She's missing a soul! Keevil lunges for John and wrestles with him, grappling at his body with an aggressive approach, him fending off the advances of a totally UNhot female, until he is able to escape her clutches. He laughs that she's pretty quick, 'how are you so fast? I'm used to messing with Jose, who's like working with slow motion!' John mimes some of Josie's combats move at a snail speed and creates sound effects to go alongside it.
JOSIE: (she can take a hell of a hit but he'd be in for a whole lot of hurt) That's cos I don't wanna hurt you, John! If I wanted to mash you up, I would do it in a split second! I would just flick you and you would fly!!
Caoimhe bashes John in the face with a cushion; John picks her up and drops her down just as fast while Josie shouts out encouragement 'GO ON, CAOIMHE!!' (SC) He dropped her like a ton of bricks because hoe-bag had pinched into his ribs!
JOSIE: (she'd been spectator as they roughed each other up) We sure showed him!!
JOHN: (throws the orange object at her again and brings the mockery) What do you mean 'we'? You just sat there and watched!! (makes like he's going to hit her in the face) Gave it a couple of 'Go Chicken Kiev's!'(SC) 'We sure showed him (!)' What about Mario? You can't have your hair like that when you're doing today's task, Mario! It's gonna get all messed up!
John throws an arm around his shoulder so he knows he's just joking; he'd told Mario he'd wear his hair like that, Dave will do it as well as his looks rubbish!
JOHN: (chimes in) Your hair's alright Monk! Giving it a bit of the Rafael Nadal look! (spots Josie waiting for the Diary room) He doesn't wanna talk to you, Jose!
JOSIE: (for all her big talk she looks a bit down now) Err he doesn't want to talk to you John James, cos he's had it up to the ceiling with you! (John laughs)
Dave compliments her for having an Olivia Newton-John look about her today; Caoimhe also flatters her for looking gorgeous and Josie thanks them bashfully. Steve orders the guys to stop creeping; Mario maintains that at least they're not leaving flowers on her pillow (as Ben had for Corin)! Caoimhe reckons she and Mario have the ultimate geek look if he buttons his top collar. (SC as Josie is let in the Diary room)
Ife tutors Ben about X Factor, a lot of people she knew had voted for a particular act as they'd wanted the show to lose credibility. She blesses Joe McEldery for not getting to Number 1 at Christmas because of The Rage against the Machines campaign, to knock him off the perch. Nathan asks if they don't feel that it is funding the market with absolute pilch and that X Factor is making stars out of people who haven't really trained or tried and have no artistic merit.
She agrees that manufactured singers are on puppet strings but she also has to look at it from the other POV (SC) that Sting slates the show from his glass house for making it off his own back. Nathan doesn't see it as a personal attack on the show as anyone who had the opportunity and ability would do it, BUT basically it's getting Simon Cowell loads of money. (SC) That's a symbol of everything that's wrong with this consumer-driven society.
Ben doesn't generally like any pop music but what he will say in defence of X Factor, is that it is going back to an old-fashioned form of entertainment - where some people will be amazing, there'll be a lot of crap ones, a charismatic host, a live band and see what happens. What Ife says they have to remember is that there's always 11 losers and the winner is pre-decided.
As much as it was a National joke, Ben thinks it is really nice that Susan Boyle was discovered on Britain's Got Talent. 'A sort of 50 year old spinster who had no gloss, no sheen, wasn't attractive.. but yet everyone saw, once she opened her mouth that and heard rather - she had the most amazing voice! And I think that's a wonderful thing!' (SC)
Ife attributes much of Susan's success to her looking the way she does because she's not the best singer Ife has ever heard. Her friend is about 51, beautiful-looking, spent her whole life struggling and working as a singer - didn't get through because she's too professional and BGT want the whole story. Though she coulda knocked Boyle's socks off if she'd gone on and sang 'I dreamed a dream.' The whole concept of the show is to give the underdogs the opportunity but it incenses Ife that her friend is considered too polished.
Nathan points out that Susan has raw talent whereas her friend has honed her talent but not received global recognition and still sings in grotty pubs. It pains Ben so much that his friend, a big singing star in Japan is not as known or appreciated here, where she lives (in the UK) as she should be. Nowadays, the nation is so looks-obsessed and they all have a degree of vanity on the show - so he'd found it really wonderful that this unattractive woman from Glasgow is not packaged in any way but has an amazing range and voice.
Singer/dancer Ife demonstrates that this is a verisimilitude as the production company pull the strings and fill a need for the British public to cheer on the underdog. 'We are definitely being completely played and manipulated and that's fine - because we like it!' She emphasises that people still think X Factor is real and that they can get on the show; Ben thought they wouldn't believe it unless their brains were in their backsides!
Simon Cowell is an absolute business essentially; Ben has a lot of respect for him as he's come from nothing. Ife falls for it too and watches the X Factor because she likes it. Ben just feels it is fabulous that Susan Boyle probably had such a miserable life and now is flown around the world, has the best of everything, real money and can help out her friends. Ife won't take that away from her but feels hundreds of others deserve it too. (ad break)
Believe it or not, Dave used to be a massive party animal; Mario still thinks that he is and is looking forward to going to one of his slosh fests! Dave wants him to open it up and let the masses love on Mario, stand up on the stage and declare the slosh fest open to all his fans. Mario clarifies whether Dave means all the attendees all get drunk through alcohol or the spirit; Dave confirms they get jacked up on the Holy Ghost. (SC) Mario might need some real alcohol to get him started.
The last Slosh fest was held in The Dolphin Club from Gavin and Stacey which is in Barry. Caoimhe asks what he drinks and Dave states that he gets hammered drunk on the Holy Ghost but there's a bar, so some people have a couple of pints of lager. He'd just love Mole to be there, likewise Mario would love to attend and see what it's all about.
John is called to the Diary room, Dave muses 'what has he done now?' Mario can't pick his favourite male BB voice and keeps telling them all that they are his favourite; Caoimhe's is the one who spoke to her yesterday morning. Apparently the angry one is only angry broadcasting into the house but very chilled out one-on-one in the Diary room. (SC)
John has a heeheehee when he sees what is inside the Diary room. As Dave and Steve throw a sock ball back and forth, Dave talks about his chef friend who makes a mutton curry with homemade coleslaw and salad and a really nice coconut rice. (SC as John comes back out from his flying visit)
JOHN: How's his form?
He went to request band aids so he could put them on before today's task, when he'd explained this to BB they had answered 'no worries!' John is amused that they hadn't questioned why he thought he was up or replied that he's not doing it.
DAVE: (busting his apple) 'Come back in 20 minutes for your red suit, John!'
Steve can't be arsed with their game anymore because the new ball is too light. (SC) With a little bit of a beard, Mario looks like Dave's Uncle Roy!! Ife's X Factor teaching is still underway in the bedroom about how Simon Cowell owns the programme and American Idol all around the world. So every artist who signs a contract is basically owned by him! (SC)
One of Dave's favourite films is a funny one with Adam Sandler; the last of his movies Mario had seen was 50 first dates, Caoimhe loves it! Dave can't stand those sloppy films but Mario justifies that it was actually entertaining for what it was (SC while Mario takes Dave through the premise of the film and how Drew Barrymore's character doesn't get her memory back). Dave's daughter and Donna have watched it so many times but he walks out after the first 40 minutes and thinks he's seen that about 20 times!!
Caoimhe asks Dave if his daughter Natasha and her mother get on; they do and Dave likens Natasha to being a lot like Caoimhe as she's a good learner and loves knowledge. Natasha studies really hard with her A-levels and wants to go into Politics and be like an MP or something; she is really passionate and wants to change legislation and really make a difference. (SC)
STEVE: (Knowing Ben is an 'all about the Politics' dude) Keep Ben away from her then!
Dave's son Joshua is also a good kid and not a rebel, he loves American sport like American football and ice-hockey 'yeah, he's a good boy! I love my kids, I miss them so much!' Mario chuckles that between Dave and Steve they have more children than there are HM's at the minute. (SC) He guesses that kids don't just become part of your life but are your life. Dave doesn't separate himself from his wife and kids, they're all one together in their family environment and that's why it's difficult for him at times to be away from them.
He asks Mario if he reckons his children will be at school having the mickey taken out of them or if they'll be interested that their Dad is on TV. Mario responds that they'll have about 50 new best friends and it won't be a negative thing at all, like they were concerned about. (SC) Steve thinks if they are laughed at - it will only be for a day and then the school children will pick on someone else. Dave told Donna if Josh was being bullied in school over it, to just pull him out. (SC) (End of E4 afternoon feed)
2.40pm, Sofa gatherage. I love that John just got up and sat next to Josie. Josie switched places with Caoimhe so John moved over and squashed in between Mario to sit next to her. Mario's palms are sweaty and Dave's ticker is booming ten to the dozen! Caoimhe is surprised it's just the two of them. Flippin' heck yeah, Dave can't believe that; Corin wishes the guys good luck and John winks at Caoimhe. He's saying he's willing to fail it and see what the public thinks... Josie looks gutted.
12.17pm, JJJ sitting next to each other, looking like a real couple...awww on the grass in the garden, chatting with a few of the others.
12.50pm, Caoimhe saying she's having her wedding in there (just proposed to Dave on camera in Diary room). Ben for best Man, Steve giving her away. Dave officiating.
1.10pm, John mentions something about Govan singling Mario out after the mole ordeal. Ben says he seemed to seek out friendships with people with more clout. They're still trying to work out how Govan might have been perceived. Ben is describing how Shabby 'stole' Caoimhe and Ife away from the rest of the group, Nathan agrees too.
E4 Live feed:
Nathan is doing the whole bonding thing with the boys and believes that until recently he wasn't being true to himself on the programme. So is this unpleasant man trying to make out to his cohorts that he's not abrasive and kinda impatient and generally bleurkyyyy?? He says for them to look at little Ifester, for as soon as she broke away from that isolation she's come into her own and is like a whole new woman. This is the conversation shown on the HL's where Nathan thinks it will do Caoimhe a world of good, as it will force her into being part of the group.
NATHAN: (now Caoimhe must come out of her ying yang) It was her choice to stay out..
Ben is glad to report that people are now realising this is why he had troubles with Shabby to begin with but just let it go. As Ben had good relationships from Day 1 with Caoimhe and Ife, would have nice chats with them (Ife about music, Caoimhe about Ireland and politics) and he genuinely felt privileged to know them. But from Day 3 or 4, they were so under Shabby's control in the bathroom that this relationship was gone! He'll be honest he slightly resented that as he felt he had made 2 friends that were basically snatched from him because Shabby didn't want them to mix with other people.
Nathan also felt that the three girls did isolate themselves having formed such a tight pact and as the weeks went on he didn't want to be a part of that. It was hindering his experience being around people who were miserable and stropping all the time 'it influenced my personality greatly! It hampered me!' Now he's ready to return to serving and 'delighting'?
Something else Ben found interesting was that Nathan knew them a lot less then and knows he is teased for being lazy and sometimes is.. 'But actually all of us always from Day 1 helped to tidy a bit in the kitchen and dishes and stuff afterwards.' Now getting to the 'interesting' part - that Ben had never seen some in the smokers group do a dish in the whole time they were here!
Nathan feels bad for holding his tongue with them but it suppressed a lot in him as at the start he kept his opinions to himself. 'I never spoke out of turn really..when you bottle stuff up, it does drag you down!' He argues that if you're in a room full of people crying it's only a matter of time before you will be too. 'If 9 people out of 10 are laughing, the chances are that you're the 10th person and you will start laughing! You feed off other peoples' emotions.'
This is why if Ben goes through a spell (SC) he keeps to himself and just chats to friends on the phone because he doesn't want to bring people down. So he rides it out, achieve somethings 'write a song .. and when you're well you're well!' Nathan says it just goes to show that we are inadvertently influenced by the people around you.
NATHAN: (eager to start spreading that love and sunshine around) Even if you're the most grumpy, narky person.. eventually you're gonna warm up!
Which is why Ben feels that Dave is such a joy to be around as he's always always happy and this has made his stay happier. Because Nathan didn't spend the time to get to know Dave and Ben at the start and a lot of people in the other group had issues with them.. he was around that and wasn't finding out for himself. (SC) It then meant that he based impressions on what other people know.
JOHN: (passes down his wisdom) Cos you have to, cos you've got no other choice.
Basically Nathan had been going off what he thinks he knew (from others opinions) about what a person is. Nathan explains that it's like reading a book about someone 'you don't know the person but you have a generalisation of what they're about.' And if that doesn't sit with you then you're not going to want to meet them or spend time. So he's disappointed that he didn't get to know people from the start as the month would have gone a lot better.
Nathan's not ashamed to say it, that in the final week and a half of Shabby he very rarely spoke to her as he didn't want to be around her. It's not that he hated or disliked her, he just didn't want to be around miserable people (and wished she'd left her negativity at home!) 'everybody's got their good points and their bad points but for me, it suits me being around happy people.. cos it suits my personality. It's just fact. There's no real intelligence in saying that, it's just common sense.'
DAVE: (How many times can he use the word precious, before it becomes redundant?) Look at Josie, so precious Jose!
JOSIE: (he's so hippydippy, she can't stand it) Precious? (SC as Nathan grabs hold of her leg, so she has to hobble and give him a nipple twist or something to make him let her go!)
Today, Dave is reading the words of Our Lord which are so good; Nathan checks if the recitals are gonna start. (SC) John was the very picture of awkwardness when Seahorse was touching his woman so he initiates physical contact and they push each other around! (SC)
John flops himself onto Josie's bed and seems to hurt his back slightly which causes Josie chuckles, so he goes to grab her nose! He then re-enacts dizzily how Josie had looked when she'd laid down and this sets her off again. Josie feels so deflated; John asks her why - it's because they've been doing nothing all day.
JOHN: It's a bit boring, isn't it? (leaps onto her and cosies up between her thighs) (SC)
JOSIE: (it's a delightful phrase) Shut your mop!
JOHN: (lunges for her ears, working her last nerve as he sings) She's got the lobiest lobes you'll ever know!!
JOSIE: (De-cutes it) Just cos they're bigger than your peanut head, doesn't mean you've gotta do that!
He giggles naughtily and turns to face her so that he can fumble and fondle with her face again. John is addicted to her and always seems happier and freer in her company. It's cute how he's almost like an adoring fan, all flitty eyelashes, flirty and he's feeling frisky!
These 2 young hotsy totsies had a once wonderful relationship, envied by all.. but like Humpty Dumpty their loving took a great fall :( It was intense this thing John had for Josie and Josie for John.. but in all too quick of a flash that enchantment was gone. If only everything had not gone to hell... then one sweet day we'd be hearing a wedding bell! :(
JOSIE: (the only thing sure to stop the flirting thing they've got going on) I've just had a cigarette. I smell like fag ash Lil! (SC)
John takes the hint that he's kinda been a pain in her ass and gets off the bed. Dave can't wait to meet Jesus as he's so beautiful and full of love. John hadn't heard the start of Dave's sentence to Ben so to demands 'who?' he can't wait to meet.
DAVE: My Lord (SC)
John has put on the aviator cap from the coin-operated ride task and is making aeroplane noises, looking over animatedly at Josie as he does so. Caoimhe compliments him for looking very handsome in it!
JOSIE: (trying to figure out what she sees in him?) Sometimes he is, sometimes he's not.
Dave reckons there'll be 5 HM's up today and so does Josie.
JOHN: You think there'll be 5 up too?
John throws himself down upon the bed Dave and Ben are reading Bibles in and has his head pinned back by a pin-headedly Ben. John asks in a judging, disapproving way 'what's the Looooord saying?' Dave replies that he says He loves you, man (SC) After vaselining her lips, Caoimhe has climbed into bed next to Josie. They try to get John to show Caoimhe his Bristolian impression but he's reluctant to as 'she heard it last night!'
He pushes down at Josie in protest (she is off screen) but their cajoling 'Come on John' continues so he asks Josie for a reminder of the song again.
Mario is on about when a foetus develops in the womb, we get hit by different levels of radiation in our solar orbit which could influence how you develop. Ife definitely agrees but she'd said it not to talk about science just to use it as an example. She likens this to how Mario had already told himself Ben reminded him of Cameron, he'd have been looking for any possible thing that would stand out and remind him of Cameron and then get attached.
MARIO: (but now finds Ben vapid and selfish) That's the mistake I made.
She assuages him not to feel bad about it as all humans do it and asks if he's heard her job interview analogy. Ife might have used it on John when he was going mad at Rachael. So she dispenses that as soon as you walk through the door, the job interviewer will .. she keeps stopping and starting as Mario throws away her cigarette, not wanting her to smoke. Then she looks for the lighter (SC) Mario advises her to keep everything in one place so it can't go anywhere and she then won't lose things.
As she searches under the cushions, she rants that people can't seem to get to grips that they can't walk away with it in their pocket there (as they naturally would do outside)! She moans 'Oh Mariooo! Right, there's 5 people I need to ask.. well 4.' as she goes inside to ask if anyone happens to have it, Mario spins around the carousel pole. About 30 seconds after, he finds 2 on the ground and starts sparking with them as he hee hee's.
Ife comes running out having seen this 'you are a joker!! You are a complete idiot!' She wrestles with him to get the lighter out of his hands but he runs off with it. Ife rebukes him to stop as no one else is going to find it funny. (ad break) Ife thinks this is why they have all come here, to find out the truth about themselves because they have their own opinions about their good and bad points. So now they are letting the British public decide if they are: good, bad, stupid or an unimportant person!
She would be so devastated if nobody booed or cheered when she leaves because she wasn't interesting enough. Mario philosophises that we can't really create new futures and possibilities for yourself until you accept the truth - even the negative parts. (SC) From a really stark, bleak point of view he says that he's a 28 year old gay man, who has spent a lot of his life hiding who he really is from friends and family. He doesn't feel that he's achieved anything career-wise or financially. Ife reaches out that he needs to get to the point where he can look in the mirror and say 'that was me and I've learnt from it and now this is what I'm gonna do!'
Ife bends the ear of the man with the hair, chin and glasses of Clark Kent - that he'll waste time going round in circles, thinking how he could have done something better. She suggests that he needs to decide in his mind what he wants and how he's going to get it, then only focus on that. Then everything will align itself and things will start coming to him that he doesn't even know are there.
All her life, she has been very, very self-critical and very realistic about herself and her abilities. Being in such a competitive industry, she gets told 'no' far more times than she hears 'yes' so has to be able to step out of it to analyse why she wasn't picked. She reminds Mario that he has the whole fashion thing which he loves and has so many ideas; he mopes that he's done nothing with it. Is he expecting that easy must be right around the corner?
Seeing that Mario is stuck in a giant hole of depression, Ife determines that he needs to sit down, see himself where he wants to be and only think of that and believe that he will be there. She tells him that the fear will go if all he can paint is pretty (mental) pictures; though this he feels is only creating new illusions. Ife calls it visualising and that it could be looked at on a spiritual level.
Fear comes in as people are afraid that they'll be upset if they don't get what they visualise, so imagine the worst and then if good happens - great! Ife persuades that doing this is putting yourself behind someone else who is thinking of the best. If it doesn't work then the person will deal with it, the way they've prepared themselves 'so why waste your time thinking about all the things that could go wrong or might not happen?'
It is better to instead, think of all the things you know and hope and want to happen. Then if they don't happen - deal with being upset and depressed afterwards! Lots of people (including Ife) have a fear of failure and this stops people from doing things. She mentions how some people have a phobia of flying when really they are afraid of falling to the ground and dying.
In the bedroom, John asks if someone is referring to Royal Mail 'the amount of times, I've got involved with your post!' (SC as he tells them in no uncertain terms how sh*t he finds our postal system) Ben imitates John 'at the end of the day I don't expect this!' Josie laughs that he would have told them he's gettin' angry now!
JOHN: (there was a bit of a flare up) They copped a few 'gettin' angries, don't worry about that! Don't you worry! They copped it! I wanted to know (SC)
Back out to Ife, using the plane and being scared of crashing as an analogy of fear controlling and taking over your life. Mario's only just started ripping the illusions away from himself as he'd spent the last 5 years wrapping himself up in really comfortable illusions. But 2010 he decided they all had to come off whether he liked it or not, he never had any inhibitions but lots of self-illusions about his life and who he thought he and his friends were. (SC)
Ife had watched a TV show about Lauryn Hill unplugged; one day she had to re-introduce herself to her family and everyone she knew as they didn't really know the real her because she had put up a wall and presence of living an immaculate life. She was always so worried about ruining her voice that she never really got to enjoy herself.
NATHAN: It can take years to recognise yourself.
IFE: Every day, you learn something new.. you don't wake up the same way.
Nathan had spent a lot of time thinking he wanted to be someone he wasn't and he shouldn't want to be like everyone else. Ife testifies that this is putting yourself in a box and that there is no standard on normality 'you set your own standard and then go from there!' Nathan thinks it is important to keep as individual as you can and that it can take years to be comfortable in your own skin.
Ife really believes that nobody goes to bed and wakes up the same person as they were the day before 'I believe every day, you wake up different!' Mario cheeks that she only has to look at the last 48 hours of herself!
IFE: (she's walked away a winner) 48 hours ago, I was like BAM BAM BAM, LET ME OUT and now today, I'm like - I love life!! And I had to go through that to get to here.
The environment they are in is proper intense and Ife feels really lucky as what they learn in there, would take normal people maybe about 10 years. 'Bring it on Big Brother, bring it on! You wanna play this game - let's play it!' That's why she was so upset the other night, as she'd finally let go of her inhibitions and found the guts to just go for it and then got thrown back to the ground. But now she feels she can live and not be afraid someone will take the mick because it's already happened!
John is explaining that Brad Pitt is a little bit shorter and weighs slightly more (than himself??) he approximates that Brad weighs 73 kilos. When Brad and Jennifer Aniston broke up, Caoimhe was definitely Team Jolie (I was Team Aniston) ; John cuts her off that he wasn't and was extremely mixed/p*ssed can't tell either way. (SC)
Outside, Mario is showing Nathan and Ife the part of a shoe which is where the bunion rests - he actually has on Nathan's shoes!! Nathan is not too fond of Mario's feet being in his trainers because it's the only part of his body that he is actually concerned about. Ife gloats that Mario hadn't learnt his lesson from offending Ben with his comment 'you've got a right hairy back!' which was something Ben had been worried about.
NATHAN: If I had a complex about that, I wouldn't be walking around barefoot all day!
He doesn't worry about peoples' perception of his body one iota but winds Mario up that some people could. Nathan has had too much Mario-ness and makes the smart remark that 'I think Mario doesn't understand that he's an absolute b*tch! You're a mean girl!' (SC) Nate thinks he ought to be better as he's been rolling tabs (for his fags) since he was 15; Mario assumes there's a connoisseur skill to it. Ife intends to practise her entire time in there so she can be better than Nathan outside.
Ife is always going to automatically blame Mario for having the lighter now when she can't find it, as he was the boy who cried wolf! Nathan doesn't mind at all but is curious why Mario is wearing his boots; he'd thought they were Ben's task shoes so put them on (because Ben's always getting stuff that doesn't belong to him out of the wardrobe!) Apparently Josie has also been getting about in Nathan's pumps! (only a fiver a pair from Primark, look smart under jeans and can be thrown away when knackered)
Seahorse also has a crisp, black pair that you can get anywhere in and are so comfortable to wear. Ife has boot ones that she wears with denim hot pants; she ain't a heel girl, so wears those and tries to make an outfit work so she can have a good night! (SC)
NATHAN: You can't shock out in heels!
IFE: (Girls you gotta stop partying like this in a pair of platforms) No, of course you can't! And any girl who tells you they can - you're lying!
Nathan makes the valid point that feet are not meant to be stuffed up that way; he asks how many girls they see at the end of the night having to carry their shoes (because their feet hurt from dancing in them). Ife laughs that Josie has to walk down the street because she's lost hers! She suggests that maybe Mario could design his own (shoes) with a joke on it. (Ad break) During the break, John tells Josie that he looked like a resident from Village of the Damned, as his hair was white when he was a kid. Josie asks John if he's sure he's 24.
JOSIE: (but she loves him so much she doesn't mean it) Speaking to you sometimes, is like talking to like.. a 16 year old!
JOHN: (pouty) Yeah, well what's your problem? You don't wanna be my friend no more? Is that what you're trying to say?
JOSIE: (quells this immediately) Noooo (pulls him back against her as she lays in bed and cuddles up to him)
JOHN: (there's nothing he wants more with all of his soul than Josie's friendship) You don't wanna be my friend no more? (SC as she rubs up and down his chest)
JOSIE: (Resumes her attempts to sweeten him up) I love 'im I do! I love 'im!!
Josie tickles John, so he takes hold of her hand to break it off with a playful 'stop it!' The cuddleage comes to a crashing close as John jolts 'AHHH! You bit my back! Who bites backs??' You'd think Caoimhe would leave the two of them to their flirtatious banter as the tickling and giggling picks up again - but no, their resident gooseberry, she stays in bed!
John reaches for her hand and hurts her back somehow; she screams 'owwww!' and he returns the OWWWW as (her volume) 'that hurt my ear!!'
JOSIE: Come on, don't be horrible to your Auntie Josie.
He chuckles at her titling herself 'Auntie' and lays his head contentedly on her arm, wrapping his own around her. It is heartwarming to see the power couple lie together, teasing and tantalising, having a perfectly lovely time. Josie snuggles closer still around his chest and Johnny boy's not complaining ;) Wouldn't it be so horrible if they never got to hug ever again? :(
In the lounge, Corin awww's that the Baron is asleep and snoring away with one eye open; she thinks he must be worn out. Mario mentions that Dave overtook Steve last night in the snoring stakes; it couldn't be helped because he'd had a curry and snores whenever he eats late. Nathan exclaims for the serial snorer not to sugar-coat it!
Though Steve's snoring is loud, Mario describes it as having more of an even tone to it whereas Dave's is more erratic. Nathan wants to section him next to sleep because Dave can fall asleep at the drop of a hat; Dave refuses!
Dave heeheehee's that he once was laughing and joking at night, Nathan went to have a cigarette and Dave was already snoring when he returned! No, Nathan thinks he should be sectioned 'in more ways than one!' There's no way Dave will move down next to the Baron even though he and Steve trump more than anyone else. Some days he can't sleep through Steve snoring and jests with Corin that she's sharing a bed with Baron tonight 'once he farts, he'll blow you straight over the room!'
NATHAN: (He's a comedian that one!) Like a crisp bag in a gust of wind!
Mario and the cameramen catch Corin with her hands down her top; she's pulling hairs off her chest as 'it makes you stronger, you know?' Doubting that this will make for a very attractive aspect on the dating scene for Cozza!!
NATHAN: (Corin I'm sure could give a rat's tushie about this!) More stream-line for sports!
Dave and Corin hope no one goes this week; Josie's yelps and screams of pain can be heard in the living room through the walls - John must be torturing her!! ;) Corin knows something will stay go on on Friday as Davina will still be there and hopes for new HM's. (Long SC)
John giving Josie a whopper of a wedgie is revealed to be the reason behind Josie's bloodcurdling screams! Their childish larks had continued in the bedroom throughout the conversation in the lounge, which we had left JJJ in favour of!!
John's looking thoroughly pleased with the product of his high jinks as he prowls around, Josie pleading with John through giggliness 'John pleeeeease. Owww! JOHN!!' They'd been having so much filthy fun together but now Josie is struggling to unhook the wedge he's left behind - up her behind!! Who knew that behind such a sweet face, lived the soul of a scampish scally wag? :D
He approaches the bed, but only to cheekily chuckle and peels back the doona so that the nation can see Josie's backside and the black panties that John rammed up her butt crack!!
JOSIE: (plaintive cries) John, please!! JOHN, JOHN!!
John has left her exposed and with the obstruction up her ass, LOL-ing at his handiwork 'if I coulda got that round your shoulders..' the sentence is broken off by his snickers.
JOSIE: (begging) Give me some dignity!! (she is laughing too seeing the funny side)
John slumps his head on top of her back then ignores her protests, whilst restraining her with some ooooh-ing and typewritering! (SC) She thanks God when he gets off but she moans with twinges of soreness when she rolls over onto her back! Josie stretches out giving John and viewers a good look at the ahem.. damage to her derriere!
She manages to unshackle her bottom from bondage, liberating herself from the torment.
JOSIE: You.. you've just... ow!!
John no longer possesses the ability to speak, due to his regalement of Josie's PANTS predicament! He cannot hide his amusement as he mentally photographs every moment of Josie's shame and embarrassment. Josie stands to pick all the underwear out, John has to cover his face as he laughs so hard!
He lays back on bed to get a panoramic picture of the pants and her angst; the fact that he wanted a better sighting of the spectacle is a compliment of the highest order. (SC) A wedgie is meant to be seen!! :P
JOSIE: (shock robs her mouth of words) You've ju.. do you know what you've just done?
Neither can complete an utterance because their chortles are too all-consuming! Josie gives up, lowers her head and slinks away shame-facedly with the residual wedgie still on display, over the top of her jeans. John cracks up harder, that when she got the reflection of it was hilarious.
Not only had John ransacked the private inner sanctum of her privates but he had chosen to mortify Josie more - as his first choice of entertainment! :D He's a great mocker and she has a sensational sense of humour to take it so light-heartedly!
JOHN: (looks at her as a thing of amusement) You're like that.. (comes over to the closet to replicate the way she had stood and struggled, tottering and swaying in an ape-like manner as she made her way away!!)
He turns away, allowing Josie some privacy once he spots that she is unzipping her trousers. But not before getting in another animated dig at Josie digging out her underpants stuck uncomfortably between her buttocks!! Josie arghhhh's as she does so. (SC)
JOHN: (semi-hiding so he's not perving at Josie mid-undressing) God, that was funny!
Josie mimics this comment, having not found it as humourous being on the receiving end of the joke!!
JOSIE: (reels off his transgressions against her) You've just come over John, right.. give me a nose bleed nearly, give me the worst wedgie ever, elbowed me in my tuppence. Who'd you think you are??
John guffaws like an insane, sugar-laced kid and keeps turning back around trying to talk through his laughter 'I can't.. how can I sit there when ..' Josie again asks him 'who do you think you are?' he tries not to look directly at her, gesturing towards his own nether regions to point out the source of his grins and engrossment!! It is not yet shown on screen but Josie is stood before him, having taken her trousers down, engaging in this exchange with no trace of embarrassment.
He has to swivel round and bury his face against the wall to obscure his own timidity. Hoo-haaaaing that 'you're stood there having an argument with me, with your pants down your ankles!' Then leaves her with some space as she changes into a new pair of leggings; he discovers that the garden has been closed off as BB set up for the afternoon's task.
John jokes off camera with Dave about the Lord being such a good boy; Dave tells him he's horrible! (SC) Ife is taking a snooze.
DAVE: (killing John internally with this line) The rims of your angry little crab eyes!
John lets those in the lounge know that he had grabbed Josie's G-string; Corin aww's on Josie's behalf as he reproduces her 'who do you think you are?'s. Josie hadn't been phased at all by John seeing her in a state of undress so she clearly felt comfortable with a lack of apparel around him.
He's still in jolliment that Josie had been trying to have an argument with him with her pants down! A lot of what Nathan says is blanked out as per.. when he chats with Mario about gritty music. Mario had really liked Oxford and Neutrino's version of 'No good for me' (SC) he'd thought it was a very good rhythm. (SC) John playfights some more with Jose in the background.
JOHN: (bold and brassy) You gonna keep them up today or what? You wanna keep your teeth or..?
Josie hollers off camera with a cacophonous Samurai-sounding shriek. (SC)
JOHN: (plucky) HONKKKKK! (honks some body part of Josie's during their battle which we also do not get to see; cameras opting to screen another indepth snore discussion)
Nathan speaks up about the main offenders and perpetrators with his hand on his heart (SC) and owns up to snoring seldom times too. He doesn't know why Dave is almost ashamed of snoring, because he can't help it and they don't resent him for it but likes the way he won't admit to it. Dave doesn't agree that his is to the level of disruption when Steve blew 2 panels off the ceiling!! 'Like a cyclone going through!' (SC) (Ad break)
Looks like Ife has embraced Ben's cotton wool pad wearing over the eyelids, as they relax in bed! Ben's hoping this would catch on but they look kinda like douchefaces :D He tells her that he had the weirdest feeling in the world after having Nyquil and still not being able to sleep. (SC) In the lounge, Mario makes Caoimhe move over on the couch as he needs to keep an eye on Keith (Titan) so she lays into his lap, after requesting a back massge. (SC)
She asks if she'd told him she had proposed to her boyfriend in the Diary room; he didn't know but thinks it is excellent that they are going to have the wedding in the BB house! (SC as John comes out of the Diary room with his hands in the air) John questions if what Josie is doing/wearing is in preparation for the task.
Josie replies that she's getting pumped up for it and proceeds to do some star jumps on the spot. Until she is thrown off balance by John throwing something orange at her which hits her smack in the bosom!! She glares at him but he flirts back querying 'are you doing the tongue thing with me? Is it time is it?'
JOSIE: No that's the angry.. (Welcome to your funeral stare)
JOHN: Oh!! To the right means angry, to the left means ready to go! ;) (referring to sexual antics he'd like to engage in with her)
She demonstrates again her huffy face to show him what it's like and then follows this up with a saucy tongue thing. (SC) Then she deliberately bumps into him and calls it a joke when she goes in for a hit back as they scuffle. *Sigh* the trouble-making and the fun they once shared!!
JOSIE: (walks away, always leaving him wanting more) Joke, John!! (takes to the couch to lie down on top of it) Right, let's leave it out now, shall we?
This does not do a lot to prevent John from hurling objects towards her!! He mickey-takes her strangulated bursts of cachinnation, as he draws nearer to where she has led down.
JOSIE: (Really her heart is howling "WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE TOGETHER!!") Do you know what? I actually can't wait for some other Sheila to take you off my hands!!
She's talking crap and John knows these aren't the words of her heart, so laughs along as he positions himself behind Josie on the sofa. (SC) Caoimhe tells John he's actually wrecking her head, as his voice is going through her brain and he points out with his finger what he has just spied in his line of vision. You might say John was being a bug up her butt! :P
JOHN: (Mr Man is soon to be in 5 kinds of trouble) Do you wanna know what I think about this? (pings her thong and a very audible snap sound is heard)
The slutty mistress is loving it and chuckles away with John who is wowed by 'how good of a noise did that make?' She pushes him off and Mario concurs that it was quite a good slap sound; it had really hurt Keevil! John blows his imaginary trumpet heralding his triumph!
JOSIE: (just in this moment she hates him) He nearly broke my nose today, he's given me such a wedge, he's.. (SC)
She doesn't look overjoyed that John is now having flirtations with her bed partner; Caoimhe the crazy woman on the couch, of course is chuffed to now be the centre of attention!! MAKE IT STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!! Keevil takes immense delight in informing John that he is sooooo violent and Dave adds on that he's an angry little man. He cracks up but then sits next to her to say that he's not like that really.
There is rarely an occasion on TV where Caoimhe's presence doesn't make me want to be violently ill.. this is an instance where I definitely DO! She's missing a soul! Keevil lunges for John and wrestles with him, grappling at his body with an aggressive approach, him fending off the advances of a totally UNhot female, until he is able to escape her clutches. He laughs that she's pretty quick, 'how are you so fast? I'm used to messing with Jose, who's like working with slow motion!' John mimes some of Josie's combats move at a snail speed and creates sound effects to go alongside it.
JOSIE: (she can take a hell of a hit but he'd be in for a whole lot of hurt) That's cos I don't wanna hurt you, John! If I wanted to mash you up, I would do it in a split second! I would just flick you and you would fly!!
Caoimhe bashes John in the face with a cushion; John picks her up and drops her down just as fast while Josie shouts out encouragement 'GO ON, CAOIMHE!!' (SC) He dropped her like a ton of bricks because hoe-bag had pinched into his ribs!
JOSIE: (she'd been spectator as they roughed each other up) We sure showed him!!
JOHN: (throws the orange object at her again and brings the mockery) What do you mean 'we'? You just sat there and watched!! (makes like he's going to hit her in the face) Gave it a couple of 'Go Chicken Kiev's!'(SC) 'We sure showed him (!)' What about Mario? You can't have your hair like that when you're doing today's task, Mario! It's gonna get all messed up!
John throws an arm around his shoulder so he knows he's just joking; he'd told Mario he'd wear his hair like that, Dave will do it as well as his looks rubbish!
JOHN: (chimes in) Your hair's alright Monk! Giving it a bit of the Rafael Nadal look! (spots Josie waiting for the Diary room) He doesn't wanna talk to you, Jose!
JOSIE: (for all her big talk she looks a bit down now) Err he doesn't want to talk to you John James, cos he's had it up to the ceiling with you! (John laughs)
Dave compliments her for having an Olivia Newton-John look about her today; Caoimhe also flatters her for looking gorgeous and Josie thanks them bashfully. Steve orders the guys to stop creeping; Mario maintains that at least they're not leaving flowers on her pillow (as Ben had for Corin)! Caoimhe reckons she and Mario have the ultimate geek look if he buttons his top collar. (SC as Josie is let in the Diary room)
Ife tutors Ben about X Factor, a lot of people she knew had voted for a particular act as they'd wanted the show to lose credibility. She blesses Joe McEldery for not getting to Number 1 at Christmas because of The Rage against the Machines campaign, to knock him off the perch. Nathan asks if they don't feel that it is funding the market with absolute pilch and that X Factor is making stars out of people who haven't really trained or tried and have no artistic merit.
She agrees that manufactured singers are on puppet strings but she also has to look at it from the other POV (SC) that Sting slates the show from his glass house for making it off his own back. Nathan doesn't see it as a personal attack on the show as anyone who had the opportunity and ability would do it, BUT basically it's getting Simon Cowell loads of money. (SC) That's a symbol of everything that's wrong with this consumer-driven society.
Ben doesn't generally like any pop music but what he will say in defence of X Factor, is that it is going back to an old-fashioned form of entertainment - where some people will be amazing, there'll be a lot of crap ones, a charismatic host, a live band and see what happens. What Ife says they have to remember is that there's always 11 losers and the winner is pre-decided.
As much as it was a National joke, Ben thinks it is really nice that Susan Boyle was discovered on Britain's Got Talent. 'A sort of 50 year old spinster who had no gloss, no sheen, wasn't attractive.. but yet everyone saw, once she opened her mouth that and heard rather - she had the most amazing voice! And I think that's a wonderful thing!' (SC)
Ife attributes much of Susan's success to her looking the way she does because she's not the best singer Ife has ever heard. Her friend is about 51, beautiful-looking, spent her whole life struggling and working as a singer - didn't get through because she's too professional and BGT want the whole story. Though she coulda knocked Boyle's socks off if she'd gone on and sang 'I dreamed a dream.' The whole concept of the show is to give the underdogs the opportunity but it incenses Ife that her friend is considered too polished.
Nathan points out that Susan has raw talent whereas her friend has honed her talent but not received global recognition and still sings in grotty pubs. It pains Ben so much that his friend, a big singing star in Japan is not as known or appreciated here, where she lives (in the UK) as she should be. Nowadays, the nation is so looks-obsessed and they all have a degree of vanity on the show - so he'd found it really wonderful that this unattractive woman from Glasgow is not packaged in any way but has an amazing range and voice.
Singer/dancer Ife demonstrates that this is a verisimilitude as the production company pull the strings and fill a need for the British public to cheer on the underdog. 'We are definitely being completely played and manipulated and that's fine - because we like it!' She emphasises that people still think X Factor is real and that they can get on the show; Ben thought they wouldn't believe it unless their brains were in their backsides!
Simon Cowell is an absolute business essentially; Ben has a lot of respect for him as he's come from nothing. Ife falls for it too and watches the X Factor because she likes it. Ben just feels it is fabulous that Susan Boyle probably had such a miserable life and now is flown around the world, has the best of everything, real money and can help out her friends. Ife won't take that away from her but feels hundreds of others deserve it too. (ad break)
Believe it or not, Dave used to be a massive party animal; Mario still thinks that he is and is looking forward to going to one of his slosh fests! Dave wants him to open it up and let the masses love on Mario, stand up on the stage and declare the slosh fest open to all his fans. Mario clarifies whether Dave means all the attendees all get drunk through alcohol or the spirit; Dave confirms they get jacked up on the Holy Ghost. (SC) Mario might need some real alcohol to get him started.
The last Slosh fest was held in The Dolphin Club from Gavin and Stacey which is in Barry. Caoimhe asks what he drinks and Dave states that he gets hammered drunk on the Holy Ghost but there's a bar, so some people have a couple of pints of lager. He'd just love Mole to be there, likewise Mario would love to attend and see what it's all about.
John is called to the Diary room, Dave muses 'what has he done now?' Mario can't pick his favourite male BB voice and keeps telling them all that they are his favourite; Caoimhe's is the one who spoke to her yesterday morning. Apparently the angry one is only angry broadcasting into the house but very chilled out one-on-one in the Diary room. (SC)
John has a heeheehee when he sees what is inside the Diary room. As Dave and Steve throw a sock ball back and forth, Dave talks about his chef friend who makes a mutton curry with homemade coleslaw and salad and a really nice coconut rice. (SC as John comes back out from his flying visit)
JOHN: How's his form?
He went to request band aids so he could put them on before today's task, when he'd explained this to BB they had answered 'no worries!' John is amused that they hadn't questioned why he thought he was up or replied that he's not doing it.
DAVE: (busting his apple) 'Come back in 20 minutes for your red suit, John!'
Steve can't be arsed with their game anymore because the new ball is too light. (SC) With a little bit of a beard, Mario looks like Dave's Uncle Roy!! Ife's X Factor teaching is still underway in the bedroom about how Simon Cowell owns the programme and American Idol all around the world. So every artist who signs a contract is basically owned by him! (SC)
One of Dave's favourite films is a funny one with Adam Sandler; the last of his movies Mario had seen was 50 first dates, Caoimhe loves it! Dave can't stand those sloppy films but Mario justifies that it was actually entertaining for what it was (SC while Mario takes Dave through the premise of the film and how Drew Barrymore's character doesn't get her memory back). Dave's daughter and Donna have watched it so many times but he walks out after the first 40 minutes and thinks he's seen that about 20 times!!
Caoimhe asks Dave if his daughter Natasha and her mother get on; they do and Dave likens Natasha to being a lot like Caoimhe as she's a good learner and loves knowledge. Natasha studies really hard with her A-levels and wants to go into Politics and be like an MP or something; she is really passionate and wants to change legislation and really make a difference. (SC)
STEVE: (Knowing Ben is an 'all about the Politics' dude) Keep Ben away from her then!
Dave's son Joshua is also a good kid and not a rebel, he loves American sport like American football and ice-hockey 'yeah, he's a good boy! I love my kids, I miss them so much!' Mario chuckles that between Dave and Steve they have more children than there are HM's at the minute. (SC) He guesses that kids don't just become part of your life but are your life. Dave doesn't separate himself from his wife and kids, they're all one together in their family environment and that's why it's difficult for him at times to be away from them.
He asks Mario if he reckons his children will be at school having the mickey taken out of them or if they'll be interested that their Dad is on TV. Mario responds that they'll have about 50 new best friends and it won't be a negative thing at all, like they were concerned about. (SC) Steve thinks if they are laughed at - it will only be for a day and then the school children will pick on someone else. Dave told Donna if Josh was being bullied in school over it, to just pull him out. (SC) (End of E4 afternoon feed)
2.40pm, Sofa gatherage. I love that John just got up and sat next to Josie. Josie switched places with Caoimhe so John moved over and squashed in between Mario to sit next to her. Mario's palms are sweaty and Dave's ticker is booming ten to the dozen! Caoimhe is surprised it's just the two of them. Flippin' heck yeah, Dave can't believe that; Corin wishes the guys good luck and John winks at Caoimhe. He's saying he's willing to fail it and see what the public thinks... Josie looks gutted.
"aww josie's like "please please not john james" XD The face john pulls after hearing his name makes me laugh x" (RedLadyBug91)
2.55pm, Aw Josie is staring at his pic on the instructions and
telling people how sweet he looks and kisses it. Did anyone hear Ben
say you gave John James picture 2 kisses and Josie replied 'yeah but
that's because I fancy John James' I think she said it in jest but
there is always some honesty behind jokes.
2.59pm, Josie says she won't feel offended if she's put up. John says
something that sounds like "I know who I'm going to put up"
John asks Caoimhe how badly she wants to stay in. She says she doesn't
know. John asks her if she wants to stay in more than him. Josie tells
him not to say any more in case BB just puts them both up. John says he
knows 100% who put him up. Caoimhe and John say that whoever loses will be gone this week.
CAOIMHE: I don't mind going either way, do you know that kind of way?
John says to C 'if I win this task I'm pretty much sending you ....'
Caoimhe wants someone else to feel this who doesn't think they're
going to feel it. 'Me too' says John. Steve and Nathan telling John that he
signed up to do his best and that's what he's got to do.
3.11pm, John looks into the bedroom at Josie, she looks like she's
wiping tears from her eyes. Ben is an utter creep "Do you want a
cup of tea Johnny?" Jose sat on back of sofa and slid along to
sit right next to John over his arm. Aw...cute he has his arm round her
leg at the sofa.
3.21pm, Out to garden for the task. John muttering 'I can't send her
home' Dave telling John to try his best, that "we" love you
and don't want you to go.
3.25pm, I think Jose just hugged him after she hugged Caoimhe but the
cam didn't stay on them! Gah. He just said he doesn't think he can do
it. JJJ keep stealing little glances at each other!!! Caoimhe telling
him not to be stupid, that she doesn't deserve to be there after her
behaviour. Ife chipping in and telling him to do his best.
BB: Caoimhe position herself on TV.
Josie asks Caoimhe if she was a late baby, obviously looking at the
picture of Caoimhe and where the eyes are on her head! She's off
already and has snapped her mic. John's turn, Josie tells him to
watch his winkie! John is off, and has taken the aerial knob off too!
BB: Hatch open for Caoimhe to collect replacement mic.
Josie's trying
to get him to do it properly and win. Josie gives John a quick kiss
on the shoulder, Awww he's resting on her shoulder.
John telling Josie that it wasn't his fault. He had a hold of the grip
and the grip flew off. 3 tries each. He fell off slightly quicker
maybe. Josie just told Caoimhe he's throwing it cos he's an idiot,
and he's too sensitive. Caoimhe is asking if he did it on purpose, and
he's making it obvious he is going off quicker than her. Caoimhe tells
John again that she doesn't want him to throw the task. Caoimhe is
threatening to fall off straight away for the last attempt because
she knows John is throwing the task.
Caiomhe came off early saying it was too sore.
3.47pm, Caoimhe tells John that he'll stay against the person she
picks! Their longest times Caoimhe: 22 secs and John: 21 secs Caoimhe
chooses Nathan. Nathan taking it well so far. Jose is sitting there with her head in her hands by looks of it
3.57pm, BB: garden will be out of bounds in 5 mins....HMs should not play with
props.
John admitting he didn't try... and was counting to see how long Caoimhe stayed on to make it seem close. Caoimhe says the decision she made, choosing Nathan, was for Shabby.
He was altruistic.
John telling Caoimhe that if he had gone ahead he knew that the person he
choose to replace him would be popular and Caoimhe would have gone.
Unless, he says, he's reading the situation wrong. Caoimhe gives him a
hug. She says she thinks Shabby would be happy that Nathan is up.
4.07pm, John tells Caoimhe that in a way he deserves to up because he's
very argumentative. Caoimhe tells Josie that there isn't a bad bone in
John's body. John says there are a couple. He tells Josie not to worry
about it, that he sees it as an opportunity. John thinks Caoimhe's spoken
more in the last three days than she has in the whole duriation
of the show. John admitting he'd have picked Corin and says he knows
'she' has nommed him every week.

LF DAY 28 7 (Diddiddidi video):
As John strips out of his boiler suit, he confesses to Mario and Dave that he had thrown the task, knowing there was no way Caoimhe could compete with whoever he'd choose.
JOHN: How could I have.. if I'd chosen the person I was gonna choose, she'd be gone.
He thinks it is one thing to nominate someone but it's another to send them to the wolves. John is happy to go and Caoimhe's just come out of her own and Shabby's just left so she has a chance to rectify herself. 'And become who she is as a person.. and I think she's starting to do that. So to.. like it's one thing to nominate, we have to nominate! But that would have been purely my fault!'
JOHN: Do you know what I mean? Like I would have had to have dealt with that.. do you know what I mean? And like how could I have dealt.. (video ends)
Dave understands where he is coming from even though he had thought Caoimhe was just whooping him in the task initially! It shows what a good guy he is, to be so selfless as to put himself at stake for a slimey snake!! I know it sounds like I must really hate the witch but I don't - it is just the deepest, unadulterated form of intense disliking.
"Didn't like him throwing the task I know why he did it cus he is a decent guy but what if he had gone he was willing to give up Josie for Keeva bitch she makes my skin crawl x" (Kat Stevens)
JOSIE: Ben did you have your balls out this morning?
4.41pm, Josie is hoping there is a twist but is telling Steve that John has had a lot of rows with people ... unfortunately much of the
conversation was difficult to hear because hyper Ife was screaming in
the next room. Caoimhe telling Josie that Nathan made Shabby feel
very small before she went and that was the tipping point.
5.29pm, Ife - "Once men start moisturising, they realise it's
not girly. It's just keeping skin... fresh."
5.44pm, JOSIE (to John): I just love having you around here, I don't
know what it is....
Aw John thinks Steve is upset about him being up for eviction. John says BB asked him who would miss him if he left. He said Josie,
Steve (who nommed him!) and ? Says he's going to be himself still.
Josie says she knows 3 who definitely nommed him. John says - 'you know
3, just 3???'
5.50pm, Josie's hand going a bit high on John's inner thigh just there!
JJJ are cuddled up in the bathroom totally ignoring the robot !!!! John says he was willing to walk when Shabs.... 'If I was picked..... I don't have it in me to compete.... you and the people I felt
comfortable with Shabs and Govan are not here....'
Basshunter asks celebs from T4 on the beach who the sexiest HM is, Scouting for Girls all go with Josie. One of the girls from the cast of Skins (no idea who she is, sorry) says John James is her favourite HM. 2 girls from Hollyoaks (also not the foggiest who they are) call John the HM they most want to kiss as he's gorgeous and looks exactly like David Beckham.
George Lamb takes the pee out of John's face when BB reveals that he is up for eviction. Shabby is living to regret her choice to walk and screams for them to let her back in 'I am such a wally!' She had to turn off the live feed as she'd watched a little and got so angry, she kicked off at the TV!!
When she's shown John's confession at throwing the task for Caoimhe, she isn't surprised at John's a really nice guy and gentleman for all his bad points and issues. Shabby is behind him all the way on Friday. She is missing Caoimhe sooooooooooooo much and Caoimhe had left a few treats in Shabby's suitcase breaking a rule to write a note. Shabby apologises to Dave (Caoimhe's boyfriend) he doesn't think Caoimhe led her on and it was just harmless flirting because they were bored. He's sorry Shabby fell in love with her and knows Caoimhe loves her to pieces.
Dave is then played Josie and Caoimhe in the Diary room and Caoimhe kneeling in front of the camera to propose to him. 'Will you marry me in the Big Brother house cos I love you so much and think you're so beautiful?'Josie is all giggly in the chair behind her and squees and awww's that it's so lovely; Caoimhe thinks she's crying. Dave wasn't expecting that and declines to marrying her in the house as his Mum would probably kill him but will see outside of the house.
Only 28% of the viewer's poll think Shabby will win Caoimhe's heart over Dave. After Shabby's best bits are played, Emma Willis eggs Shabby on to jump the fence and get back in there!
