Big Brother Day 38 & 39: The Weekend Round Up
Mario Marconi became the fourth housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house on Friday night.
The self-professed “Italian Stallion” - who has never been to Italy in his life - left girlfriend Lisa with the other remaining 13 contestants after receiving 77% of the public vote.
The hulking man-mountain - who was the first to enter the house as part of the show’s first ever couple - buried his head in his hands when host Davina McCall broke the news.
He said “It is quite a shock, isn’t it? But let’s enjoy it.”
He revealed to Davina he would “probably” marry Lisa when she leaves the house and added to the camera “where are my divorce papers?”
Meanwhile Housemates will had to choose a leader to run the Big Brother house on Saturday.
The group will also be split into ‘heaven’ and ‘hell’ sections while one divine contestant will manage the group’s shopping and delegate chores.
Whichever housemate is selected will also be immune from next week’s eviction.
The news will come as a blow to self-professed “facilitator of people” Mario who constantly expressed his wish to run the group before he was booted out on Friday.
Lisa says life in the Big Brother house will be easier without Mario.
The former bodybuilder revealed how difficult she found living with her boyfriend - who was evicted last night - during the past five weeks on the reality show.
She told politics student Luke she felt her life will be rosier now she only has to think of herself and that the “pressure is off”.
The 40-year-old sales rep also said the contestants have succeeded in their game to evict the “power couple”.
US songwriter Darnell - who nominated the couple - told Mario and Lisa the only reason Mario was up for eviction was because he was part of a couple.
But “psychic” Lisa defended her beau, saying he had a tough time in the house from day one when he had to pretend to be romantically involved with 19-year-old Stephanie.
She said “His head must be battered.”
Luke was quick to comfort her.
He said “It is not as if he is dead, you will see him again.”
Rebecca believes Hanson fans saved her from eviction last night.
The buxom brunette - who was put under a restraining order by the American pop band after stalking them - is convinced her obsession with the three blond brothers gave her the edge over Mario.
She said “Who would have voted for me? There’s all the people I’ve met from following bands over the years, the Hanson fans.
“There’s the groups, the whole of Coventry, my fans, your fans, Stu’s fans and Dale’s fans.”
Rebecca was also picked up by police when she was found sleeping on a park bench in Disneyland Paris where she had followed boy band V.
The 21-year-old nursery nurse - who has not been shy to run around the house wearing just a thong - confided in love interest Luke about her relief.
The skinny politics student later told the group Bex was on “cloud nine” after avoiding eviction.
Darnell is gutted Rebecca wasn’t evicted because she “despises” him.
The self conscious songwriter confided his disappointment in Big Brother during a Diary Room chat.
He said: “I’m a little bit down as usual because, basically, Rebecca is still here, which means officially there is one person who openly despises me in this house.
“And I can only think that because she has stayed, the public supports her ideas, values, beliefs, whatever, which means that whatever she thinks about me, the public thinks the same way.
“Which really sucks. It’s the one thing I was afraid of. Especially when I think there are some things about her which are just not cool.”
The 26-year-old US deportee also said he heard someone shout his name when Mario walked out last night.
He said “I also think I heard someone shout ‘get Darnell out’. And I’m not the kind of person to say I heard something when I didn’t.”
He added “Other than that, having a great time.”
Davina McCall has branded Mario a “legendary housemate”.
The ‘Big Brother” presenter said although she thinks the moody muscleman - who was evicted last night - was “hideous” to girlfriend Lisa in the past week, he was very entertaining to watch.
She said “He’s just been a legendary housemate. He’s been so entertaining to watch and so different and funny.
“And I can’t wait to see what happens to Lisa. Will she let go more? Will she smile more? Will she be released?”
The bubbly host was also gob-smacked by Mario’s inability to grasp how much he resembles Ricky Gervais’ character David Brent from BBC sitcom ‘The Office’.
She said “Oh my god, he just didn’t get it! I showed him his classic moments as a ‘manager of people’. And he still didn’t get it!”
Davina went on to point out the regretful look on the beefcake’s face when he saw his suspicions about sweet-natured Rachel were unfounded.
She said “Did you see Mario’s face when I told him Rachel really liked him. I think he felt really guilty. Good! Because she did really like him and he hated her.”
Davina also hinted at the responsibilities the new “head of house” will have, saying that some of them “might not be good.”
Saturday: Luke, Darnell and Dale have started campaigning to become head of the Big Brother house.
The three contestants were picked to run for the prestigious position by the rest of the group after Big Brother announced the house would be electing a leader - who will be immune from eviction, order the shopping list, choose when tokens are used and be responsible for tasks - yesterday.
Later, the candidates delivered their election speeches from podiums in the living room.
Dale was first up and was keen to point out he wanted the house to remain a democracy.
He said “Right guys. We’re all a family and we’ve all got to listen to work together, to get individual opinions across. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Just because it says there’s a Head of House doesn’t mean anything has to change. It’s a democratic house and it always has been.”
Luke was next, saying “Housemates, friends. I have now evicted the basic budget. This week, we will not - we will not - we will not go back to basics! It’s simple - it’s like two plus two. We should choose the best people for the best Task.”
He then refused to comment on his relationship with busty Rebecca - who he kissed earlier in the week - claiming he was “a politician” when any awkward questions were asked.
Finally, Darnell decided to get the housemates thinking with a hard-hitting speech “The house is in a shambles, straight-up. Halfway since we’ve got here, we’ve had two removals, numerous housemates in tears. It is broke, it does need to be fixed. And as far as back to basics goes, look around. Have you looked in the fridge lately?”
Darnell was elected Head of the Big Brother House.
Big Brother told the three leadership candidates - Luke, Dale and Darnell - to get changed into their election suits on Sunday, before calling all the housemates to the task room to announce the results of the vote (11.44am).
A nervous Luke commented: “Show time, Mikey.”
As they entered the room the delighted contestants - who are surviving on a basic budget of just £1 per day per housemate this week after they failed the Irish dancing shopping task - saw a special presidential banquet had been laid out for them.
An excited Dale said: “The sooner we all sit down, the sooner we can all start eating.”
As the group took their places, Big Brother announced the results of the election.
Dale received three votes and politics student Luke two, leaving Darnell the clear winner after he scooped nine.
As the contestants tucked into the food Big Brother piped celebratory music into the house, prompting the cheery contestants to start dancing and posing.
The Big Brother contestants think new housemate Sara is involved with a secret task.
During a discussion in the bathroom last night, Rex and Kathreya convinced themselves sexy Sara is on a secret mission from Big Brother because they think she has been acting strangely.
Rex said “She obviously knows we know. She looked uncomfortable in the bathroom. I reckon she’ll change when the task is over.”
Meanwhile, Belinda, Bex, Rachel, Sara and Stuart were also swapping conspiracy theories in the living room.
Mild-mannered Rachel said she “didn’t want to think about it” because it makes her paranoid.
Bex then rushed in to see Rex and Kat and asked them if they thought something fishy was going on in the house.
Rex replied “Well we were thinking Sara…”
Before he could complete his sentence, a delighted Bex shrieked “Yes, you think it’s Sara too!”
Later, Rex returned to his favourite subject of Sara but added a new dimension to the gossip surrounding her.
He said “Sara is definitely involved in the secret task. Maysoon has clocked on. She avoids Sara all the day like the plague and then they go to bed together. When they go out for a cigarette they don’t talk to each other, they talk to me. I think they’re a couple.”
Rachel replied she didn’t think the girls were together, but Kat thought it was a possibility.
Rex added “She tries it on with all the boys.”
To which Darnell responded “And she does that sexy dance like your aunty does, it’s so unsexy I’m uncomfortable.”
Rebecca, Stuart and Dale played practical jokes on the rest of the Big Brother housemates last night.
The mischievous trio decided to liven things up a bit by constructing toothpaste bombs and throwing them at the group, but it wasn’t long before they turned on each other.
Bex and Stuart started the fun by attempting to make a sling out of a bra in the garden.
When the contraption failed the pair decided to ask Big Brother for a condom, as they thought it would be more likely to work.
Sensing they were up to no good, Dale decided to get in on the action and asked if either of them had ever made toothpaste bombs.
Delighted by the suggestion, Bex and Stuart let Dale in on their plan.
As the trio went into the bathroom to construct their weapons, eagle-eyed Rex spotted something was afoot.
The chef started knocking on the bathroom door in an attempt to discover what was going on, only for Bex to shout “I’m having a poo, f**k off!”
However, Rex refused to give up so Bex eventually explained what they were doing, saying “We’re going to chuck them at everyone.”
Rex replied “You guys are nuts. If I hadn’t come in here you would have lobbed one at me!”
The trio unashamedly agreed with Rex.
Next, Bex and Stuart covered their faces with scarves before launching the bombs at the unsuspecting housemates.
Once their targets were hit, they decided to turn on each other and Bex was soon plastered in paste.
She said “I knew that would happen!”
Dale wants all the Big Brother contestants to be up for eviction.
The hunky housemates is so worried viewers don’t like him he wants the whole group to face the public vote this week, so he will know if he is the most hated or not.
During a conversation with Luke and Mikey, Dale said: “I hope that the whole house is up because I’d like to know whether I’m the most unpopular person in the house. Obviously if I am I don’t want to stay. I don’t want people to turn on their TV and think, ‘God, I can’t wait to get him out.’ ”
Dale also admitted he thinks he has lost out on the Head of House task - which sees Dale, Luke and Darnell competing to be elected leader of the house by the rest of the group - to Darnell, even though the results are yet to be announced.
He said: “I’m gutted I’ve not got Head, but I reckon Darnell will do a good job.”
Meanwhile, Darnell also revealed he is worried about how the public perceives him.
Confiding in Kathreya, Darnell explained he was nervous people might judge him because he has spent time in prison.
He said: “I don’t mind them wanting me out but it’s the reasons they want me out. It has been a year and a half, but maybe that isn’t long enough to put that stuff in the past. It looks so bad. All I wanted was a second chance.”
Dale joked about his sleep talking this morning.
The trainee teacher told a giggling Rebecca he knew he was talking in his sleep last night but couldn’t stop himself, even though he was aware his chatter was keeping everyone in the basic bedroom awake.
He said: “I was asleep and I was just going, ‘What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?’ ”
Clearly bored of hearing the same word repeated endlessly, Bex cut in saying: “Alright, alright!”
Dale continued: “I even remember being awake and I couldn’t stop it. I heard them say, ‘Are you alright? Go to sleep.’ I said something like, ‘Where’s the remote?’ or ‘What do you think of custard creams?’ Like something proper odd!”
Bex had her own strange nocturnal tale to tell.
Referring to the toothpaste bombs she made with Stuart and Dale last night, she said: “Dale, I woke up in the middle of the night with my nose just snotting with toothpaste. You must have proper shoved it right up my nose!”
Dale replied “I got in those hard to reach places.”
Big Brother Day 37- Luke Loathes Rebecca Again
Luke told Mario not to bother packing because Rebecca will be evicted tonight.
The two-faced 20-year-old - who locked lips with the buxom housemate just last night - told the rippling hulk he didn’t fancy the nursery nurse’s chances of staying in the house.
He said “I wouldn’t bother packing, Mario, because Becky’s going. You’ve not done anything in this house to warrant getting kicked out.”
Mario agreed and said Rebecca had no respect for Luke.
He said “I think she crosses the line with you, and she doesn’t respect you,”
Luke was quick to reveal his steamy clinch with the 21-year-old to fellow housemates this morning.
He told Rex:”Rebecca was quite drunk and she was very emotional. I thought the best way to comfort her was through my tongue.
“We’ve gone back to hating each other now.”
Later, Mario reconfirmed his belief he is safe from eviction because Rebecca has done some “nasty things” in the house.
He told Luke “I won’t be going, mate. She doesn’t know when to belt up. That’ll put a massive nail in her coffin, mate.”
Maysoon wants to star in a Bollywood film.
The sultry Muslim model - who has appeared in music videos for stars such as Ludacris and Simon Webbe - revealed her dream to appear in Asian films during a chat this afternoon (12.55pm).
She said “I’d love to go to Mumbai and try Bollywood.”
Meanwhile, Rebecca - who faces eviction tonight - said she would love to meet up with former ‘Big Brother’ contestants for a party when she leaves the house.
She said “I want to meet former Big Brother contestants. And party with them!”
The exhibitionist has previously revealed an ambition to get her boobs out for lads’ mags - putting a price tag of £6,000 on her assets.
The nursery nurse also said she plans to stop working with children.
Other housemates’ with big ambitions include Darnell, who would like to release an R ‘n B track and Luke, who dreams of becoming a politician.
Big Brother Day 37 - Luke and Rebecca Snog
Rebecca and Luke shared a passionate snog last night.
The horny housemates cuddled up in bed and locked lips as they stroked each other under the covers and whispered sweet nothings.
Rebecca was also challenged by Rex to arouse the fuddy-duddy politics student using only one hand and succeeded after having a saucy fumble in bed.
Luke admitted Rebecca’s sexual advances had turned him on.
He said “Okay, so it might have worked but please don’t tell Rex.”
Dale and Stuart has cottoned on to the pair’s secret romance and quizzed Luke when he got out of bed for a glass of water.
Dale asked “Has Bex just w**ked you off?”
Luke replied “No, nothing as serious as that, I wouldn’t let it go that far. Rebecca is very drunk. I’d never take advantage of a drunk woman.
“It may be Rebecca’s last night and I’m all for comforting a woman on her last night and that is how I chose to do it.”
Later, the lovebirds told each other they enjoyed the kiss, but said it must never happen again.
Luke said “We’ll just tell them it was a bit of fun and that you regret it.”
But after Bex asked the 20-year-old if he really did regret the sexy session, Luke said, “of course not”.
He added “Wanna do it again?”
The pair continued kissing - talking about the possibility of being split up if Rebecca is kicked out in tonight’s eviction.
Rebecca added “It wasn’t bad. You’re actually quite a good kisser.”
Sara admitted she fancies Stuart.
The sexy new housemate revealed her feelings for the dishy dad last night after glugging alcohol provided by Big Brother.
The sozzled Aussie went on to vomit on the bedroom floor.
She asked Bex “So do you think I have a chance with Stu? He said he would never kiss anyone in the house. Can you talk him round?”
Rebecca - who later engaged in a steamy session with fellow housemate Luke - told Sara she should think of Stu as a father figure, but she would talk to him.
But soon after her love confession, the 27-year-old threw up on the bedroom floor, leaving Lisa, 40, to clean it up.
The former bodybuilder told the group Sara would be alright because she hadn’t drunk enough to be paralytic.
Later, Sara continued to feel sick while sitting in the luxury bedroom.
She shouted “I’m going to vomit, get me a bucket!”
Wealthy playboy Rex was not impressed by Sara’s drunken antics.
He said “What is wrong with people in this house? Why can no-one handle their drink?”
Big Brother Day 37: Mohamed Scared of Press
Mohamed is scared of the press.
The 23-year-old toy demonstrator admitted he dreads having to deal with newspaper reporters and paparazzi when he leaves the Big Brother house.
But the sheepish Somalian was reassured by media savvy Mario and Lisa - who have appeared on numerous reality TV shows - when they told him he would be coached on how to deal with it.
Mohamed said “I’m not scared of the public but I’m scared of the press.”
But former bodybuilder Lisa warned Mohamed about journalists trying to put words into people’s mouths.
Mohamed added “I’ve never faced the press. The closest I’ve come to being on TV was being in the audience of ‘Top Of The Pops’.”
Meanwhile, Dale, Darnell, Luke and Rex agreed they had no idea who will go in tonight’s eviction.
The lads strolled around the garden last night discussing whether Mario will be voted off or Rebecca.
Dale said “I think Bex will have a lot of fans, but if Mario goes then I couldn’t say what he had done wrong. And I think people will find her annoying.”
Rex added “To be honest, I keep changing my mind. But I think I’m going to go for Bex.”
Rebecca said Rachel was less interesting than a slug last night.
The loud-mouthed kindergarten nurse - who has been nominated for tonight’s eviction alongside Mario - told new Aussie housemate Sara that ‘boring’ Rachel should get the boot instead of her.
But sexy Sara said she thought Rachel could be in with a chance of winning the £100,000 top prize.
She said:”Oh shut up. I’d rather watch a slug crawl across the floor than watch Rachel.
“I don’t get what she’s doing here, she really does have the personality of a slug. If I go before her I will be really annoyed, she just doesn’t deserve to be here.”
Sara admitted she did find Rachel’s conversation a bit tedious.
Bex added “I’m bored after a minute.”
Earlier, bitchy Bex said sweet-natured Rachel has “an elephant’s backside”.
She said “If she didn’t have an elephant’s backside, she would look better.”
Luke added “Yeah, it’s not the best. It droops.”
Big Brother Day 34 - Mario Compliments Sara
Mario says Sara is a “Rolls-Royce”.
The moaning muscleman compared the “stunning lady” to an expensive car during a chat with Mikey this afternoon.
The conversation started when Mikey said he could never be with a woman who smoked.
Mario asked “Not even Sara?”
Mikey agreed he would consider it for a “one off”.
Mario said “Everyone’s got a price mate. Everyone can be bought. Mmm…”
He added “Oh yeah, she’s got lovely, long, thick curly hair. She’s a very, very naturally stunning lady.”
Mikey suggested she could give former housemate Steph a run for her money.
Mario said “Oh, Steph was nothing. Oh, no. Mutton dressed as lamb. There’s cars, there’s Rolls-Royces. There’s quality and then there’s quality. And Sara’s a Rolls Royce. Whereas Steph was more of a Ford Escort”
Mikey shouted over to Sara - who was looking for fresh vegetables - to say there were a couple of carrots that hadn’t gone mouldy.
He said “Over here. We haven’t gone mouldy.”
Sara was shocked at the comment.
She said “Mikey, was that filth coming from your mouth? I’m going red in the face!”
Big Brother Day 33 - Evacuation
All housemates were evacuated from the Big Brother house this morning.
A security alert – now believed to have been a hoax bomb scare - forced tired contestants out of their beds for two hours between 2am and 4am.
Live coverage of the show was cut while the house was searched to ensure the group’s safety.
A phone call from a member of the public sparked the alert.
Lisa, Mario, Bex and Luke were woken by Dale, who told them they needed to get out of the house immediately.
Politics student Luke said he didn’t hear Big Brother announce the evacuation before Dale alerted him.
Mario said “It was serious. They need to be careful which is why we were evacuated. This is big stuff.”
Housemates were having an early morning snack of toast when live footage was restored.
A spokeswoman for the show said “Due to a security incident, it was necessary to remove the housemates from the Big Brother house as a safety precaution, which therefore caused a temporary break in the live streaming.
“After the necessary checks were made, housemates returned to the house without incident and streaming was resumed immediately.”
Big Brother Day 33 - Rex’s Jealous Streak
Rex admitted he has a “jealous streak”.
The wealthy playboy told Rachel and Kat his mind “plays tricks” on him when he thinks about his girlfriend on the outside without him, but he is trying to get rid of the personality trait.
He said “I don’t know what she’s been up to. When I get out of here I’m going to want to know what she’s been up to every single day.”
The professional chef said he has tried to control this feeling for most of his life, but believes it is too deep seated to change.
He said “Inside the jealousy is always going to be there.”
But trainee teacher Rachel told Rex he could be risking the loss of his girlfriend by pushing her away.
She said “She’ll leave you, Rex.”
Rex - who avoided eviction last Friday with just over 10% of the public vote - said the “biggest prize” for him would be to leave the ‘Big Brother’ house with his jealousy and trust issues resolved.
HM’s Think Rex is ‘Losing it’
Luke thinks Rex is “losing it”.
The skinny student made the comment during a discussing with Big Brother contestants Jennifer and Dale, during which all three housemates expressed their amazement at how hostile chef Rex has become.
Luke said “He’s losing it. He’s attacked Rachel, Mohamed, and he’s had a go at Mikey.”
Dale agreed, saying “Rachel was talking to Mario and Rex said to her ‘Go on Rachel, be controversial, have an opinion.’ She laughed it off.”
Jennifer - who is up for eviction alongside Rex this week - wondered if the threat of leaving the house was causing his behaviour.
She said “He’s making the most of his last day and saying what he really thinks of everyone.”
Luke commented “Rex is going to go out with all guns blazing, slagging everybody off. If he does stay, there’s going to be a very uncomfortable atmosphere.”
Meanwhile, in a conversation with some of the other housemates Rex likened his stay in the Big Brother house to rehab and said it had taught him a great deal.
He said “I’ve learnt so many things in here. I’ve learnt how to socialise with people without drinking and how to enjoy myself without drinking.
“My biggest flaw is that I’ve achieved all the goals I’ve set myself and much quicker than I thought I would. And now I’ve realised that I have to set myself more goals and I won’t be able to achieve them when I’m going out getting p****d all the time.”
Jennifer gossiped about Stuart this morning (10.52am).
In a conversation with Dale and Luke, the part-time model - who is facing the public vote along with Rex this week - claimed Stuart had admitted feeling jealous about the close bond she shares with Dale.
She said “He was talking about the bonds between me and you, and Bex and Luke, and he wants that.”
Dale replied “Argh, for God’s sake!”
Suit-loving Luke was equally unimpressed and claimed Stuart was clever about the things he said in the house.
Last night, Stuart tried to explain to Jennifer why he sometimes feels isolated.
He said “You and Dale are joined at the hip and that’s a top thing. That’s dead, dead good, but it’s why I want a new housemate. It’s the only thing that would make my experience better, or more worthwhile.”
Jennifer told Stuart he is struggling to make strong connections in the house because he always distances himself from the others.
Stuart admitted finding it hard to speak to Jennifer even though they have a lot in common because of her closeness to Dale.
Big Brother Day 26 - Bex and Mo at Loggerheads
Mohamed and Rebecca had a furious argument today.
Busty Bex was incensed when she realised Mohamed had used the last of her tobacco without asking and then thrown the packet in the bin.
She fumed “Who does that? Who takes my stuff?”
Mikey tried to defuse the situation by saying Bex could use the opportunity to try to stop smoking, but Luke was quick to hush his foul-mouthed friend.
Luke said “Oh Mikey, now is not the time to start preaching.”
Later, Bex told Luke she was so angry with Mohamed she was “shaking”.
The suit-loving student comforted his friend by saying he had seen Mohamed “smoking the butts of cigarettes”.
Meanwhile, Jennifer and Dale moaned about evictions this afternoon.
Jennifer said “If it wasn’t me, and it was you or Bex or Luke that left, I don’t think I could take any more. I couldn’t lose another one.”
Dale replied “I do think I could’ve upset a lot of people in the last week. I’d hate to go at this stage. I don’t wanna go before you.”
Confused, Jennifer asked Dale what he meant.
He admitted he wouldn’t want to watch her getting close to anyone else, saying if she went before him he would know there would be no “silent creepers”.
Pointing out a flaw in his plan, Jennifer said “What’s to say I won’t go out and meet a lot of silent creepers?”
Big Brother Day 21 - Rex and Sylvia Plan to Steal Food
Rex and Sylvia are planning to steal food.
In a secret chat this morning, Christian Sylvia and professional chef Rex discussed how they would take supplies from the store room.
Rex said: “Have you taken any food yet?”
Sylvia replied “Have I what?”
He repeated “Have you taken any food yet?”
She answered “No. As in, stolen anything? Why? Why would you think I’d do that?”
After Rex made it clear he wasn’t playing detective and was encouraging the theft, Sylvia asked the wealthy playboy when she should commit the crime and if he was going to take part.
Rex said “We can’t talk about it - just do it!”
Sylvia had previously owned up to hording biscuits and crisps in the luxury bedroom wardrobe, but denies the theft of two packets of custard creams earlier this week.
Foul-mouthed Mikey said he suspected the “head chef” of taking the biscuits because he had the most access to the kitchen.
