Big Brother Day 90 - Rex Backs Darnell
Rex has predicted Darnell will finish either first or second in ‘Big Brother’.
In a discussion with some of the other housemates last night, the arrogant playboy said he hoped someone “shocking” won the show and was particularly keen for Darnell to triumph.
He said: “I would love it if there was a complete shocker. I think the person who it would make the biggest difference to win would be you though, Darnell.
“That would give you everything you ever wanted. I’m going for Darnell in the top one or two. First or second place, 100 per cent.”
The chef then began thinking about which of the other contestants might do well, and agreed with Kathreya that Rachel had a good chance.
However, Rex - who argued with Rachel over her decision to nominate him last night - claimed the Welsh beauty would only do well because of where she is from.
He said: “Rachel has, basically, the whole of Wales. Mikey has the whole of Scotland. And us lot share London.”
Darnell added Mikey had a good chance of winning as many of the former housemates - such as Dale, Stuart, Bex and Luke - would be supporting him.
Big Brother Day 90 - Rex Annoyed by Chef Prize
Sara and Mohamed were named ‘Big Brother Executive Chefs of the Year’ last night, much to Rex’ irritation.
The pair won the accolade after all the housemates took part in a culinary challenge, where Rex - who is a chef in the outside world - had to teach the others to cook steak bearnaise and a blueberry souffle.
Rex was ordered to teach the hapless housemates, who were split into pairs, the dishes and then had to judge which were the best cooks.
Kathreya and Darnell failed to impress, with Rex blasting their “lumpy” mash, saying it tasted “like it’s got foreign objects in there.”
He also said they had under-salted their dish, prompting Kat to reply: “We go for the healthy option.”
Mikey and Rachel were rebuked for their “sloppy” presentation, but Sara and Mohamed were praised for their efforts.
Rex said: “Without a shadow of a doubt, I’m actually very impressed with Sara and Mo’s meal. They followed my instructions carefully and added their own flare. Outstanding food I would say. There was no competition there. Honestly guys, that was really, really good.”
The pair were rewarded with a trophy made of wooden spoons and some alcohol.
However, when the couple emerged from the Diary Room clutching the reward, Rex seemed jealous of the trophy.
He picked it up, turned to a camera, pointed at it and then at himself.
Noticing his jealousy, Kat giggled: “Why you want that anyway? It’s only a wooden stick stuck on a rock. You’re so funny.”
He then tried to go to the Diary Room to moan, but Big Brother refused him entry.
Big Brother Day 90 - Cross Dressing Exits
Two housemates will be forced to leave the ‘Big Brother’ house dressed as members of the opposite sex tonight.
In the shock twist, the group will reportedly be ordered to dress up as each other later today and will then be rewarded with a party.
Once the housemates - who are all expecting a surprise eviction to take place tomorrow - are enjoying the bash, Davina McCall will announce that two of them must leave.
The unlucky pair will then exit the house as cross-dressing housemates.
A show insider said: “It’s going to be a big shock for everyone.”
Fans have been voting for which of the seven remaining contestants - Sara, Rachel, Kathreya, Mikey, Rex, Mohamed and Darnell - they want to win since the weekend.
Mohamed and Kat - who had a furious argument with Darnell on Sunday night - are the favourites to leave tonight, while Mikey is odds on to win the show.
Big Brother Day 90 - Rex & Rach Argue
Rex and Rachel had a vicious argument last night.
The arrogant chef - who was reprimanded for bullying fellow ‘Big Brother’ housemate Sara last week - asked Rachel why she had nominated him, but then rowed with her when he did not like the reasons she gave.
Rachel explained: “I nominated you because of the way you were with Nicole, for the way you treated people, the way you treated me.”
Annoyed she had brought up his girlfriend - who joined the house after Rex continually moaned about how much he missed her - Rex fumed: “What do you mean the way I was with Nicole?”
Sticking to her guns, Rachel said: “When she was in the house, you were not a very nice person.”
She added that she doesn’t like the way Rex sometimes treats bubbly Kathreya, a comment which infuriated the chef further.
After claiming she walked around with her “head in the clouds”, Rex added: “You try having your partner in here, sticking up for her, and sticking up for yourself. It wasn’t very easy.
“I’m real. I have my ups and I have my downs. The way you deal with things is by agreeing with everyone.”
After Rachel said she did not regret her decision, Rex accused her and Mohamed of making no effort with Nicole when she arrived.
He said: “If my girlfriend is here, you should take it upon yourself to talk to her.”
Rachel replied: “I was nice to her when she arrived. I admit, in the end, I distanced myself because of her negativity.”
Big Brother Day 86 - Darnell Makes Kat Cry
Darnell made Kathreya cry last night.
The paranoid songwriter - who has been warned about his bullying behaviour by
Big Brother after his sexist comments towards Sara sparked 1,500 viewer complaints - failed to cheer up the glum cookie monster.
She told him: “I feel disappointed and tired and sick, I just want to go home.”
But instead of offering a shoulder to cry on, Darnell brought up the public nomination session, telling the 30-year-old masseuse she should not have scolded Rachel for voting for Rex.
Kat lashed out.
She said: “I’m sad I talked to you. You didn’t help me and I didn’t want to talk about that. I don’t find it my fault at all. I never influenced Rachel, ever.”
Darnell stormed off, saying the situation was “crazy”.
Later, the rapper told Big Brother about his feelings about the upset in the house.
He said: “Every day, someone’s crying on someone’s shoulder - but at least there’s a shoulder to cry on.”
Big Brother Day 86 - Mikey Loves Sleep
Mikey said he loves to sleep because it allows him to see again.
The blind housemate - who was left completely blind at the age of 23 after an operation went wrong - told Rachel about his love for dreaming.
He said: “Dreaming is just like being able to see again, and that’s why I like sleeping. When you’re sleeping your dreams are the most visual thing.”
He added: “But you can either lie in bed and do nothing, or get out and do things.”
This morning, Mikey awoke from a bizarre dream where he was refused entry to a rave.
He told Rachel: “One of my dreams was about going to this big rave and it was £30 a ticket. We were standing in the queue and I had no cash on me. But I had my debit card, and I gave it to the girl, but I forgot my PIN number, because I hadn’t used it for that long.
“And the card was bent as well. And she said there would be a delay, as someone’s using the internet and we need the phone line for the machine. And I said, ‘How long will it be?’ And she said, ‘Maybe half an hour?’ And I said, ‘But the rave’s started! I’m missing out!’”
He added: “And all my pals had already gone in, and I was standing there.”
Big Brother Day 86 - Darnell’s Girl
Darnell claims he has a girl waiting for him outside the house.
The lovelorn songwriter - who previously said he has never had a girlfriend - said he would trade a £100,000 prize to be with his love Vanessa.
The 26-year-old has previously angered housemates by making up a girlfriend and spending hours talking about her, before revealing it was all a lie.
He told Sara last night: “We started talking just before I came in and she said she was interested and basically she’s on for the ride and she’s not getting off.
“She’s so amazing to me, yeah, amazing. It’s too good to be true, even my mother says she’s out of my league.
“I would trade £100,000 to try and make that work.”
Sara - who Darnell has branded an “ugly b***h” and a “sl*t” - told the rapper he needs to get over his insecurities and try to make a go of the relationship.
Big Brother Day 86 - Mo Didn’t Want Sara to Win Money
Mohamed said he did not want Sara to win £25,000.
The toy demonstrator - who has been labelled as “greedy Mo” by his fellow housemates - said he would have preferred the money to have gone to him.
On Wednesday, Lisa and Sara shared a £50,000 prize after the group had nominated them for eviction in a public voting session.
He told Big Brother: “I didn’t want Sara to win the money. I could have done with that £25,000.”
The 24-year-old went on to say he was “gutted” he did not have the opportunity to be nominated - because he is immune as head of house - and that the sexy Aussie was the last person he thought deserved the cash.
Meanwhile, Lisa and Sara discussed tonight’s eviction.
Lisa said: “Just don’t worry about it. Go with the flow. There’s nothing you can do. You’re up, you’re up. If you go, you go.”
Sara praised Lisa for keeping a level head.
She added: “You talk a lot of sense.”
Big Brother Day 85 - Lisa’s Harsh Words for Kat
Lisa said listening to Kathreya was like “Chinese torture”.
The former bodybuilder - who won £25,000 last night - told Mikey how she can’t stand the bubbly cookie monster during a private chat this afternoon.
She said: “It’s every night she’s kept me awake. Who in their right mind would put up with it and not say anything?
“It’s driving me insane, it’s like Chinese torture.”
Mikey - who has fallen out with Kat in the past and claims her positive personality is all an act - agreed with Lisa’s comment, saying her singing really gets on his nerves.
Lisa went on to say she believes her dislike for Kat has been the main reason she clashes with the 30-year-old Thai masseuse.
Later, Mikey laid into Rex and told him exactly what he thought of him.
He said: “You don’t realise you’re a control freak and bullying everybody.”
He added: “Rex will never accept any responsibility. Classic bully.”
Big Brother Day 85 - Where’s Darnell?
Housemates feared Darnell had left the ‘Big Brother’ house this afternoon.
The songwriter had been in the Diary Room for two hours, sparking rumours he had followed through with previous threats to quit the show.
Sara - who has clashed with Darnell on several occasions in the past week - began to defend her part in the rapper’s desire to leave.
She said: “It’s not my fault!
“He’s gonna come back anyway. He’s not gonna leave. They won’t let him, even if he says he wants to.”
Lisa added: “He’s in the final. He won’t go.”
But Darnell decided against walking.
He said: “As much as I want to go home, it’s quite pointless as I’m not going to anything.
“So it’s not gonna change. The people who have walked before have walked because they know on the outside, it’s different, and it’s going to help them.
“I know that if I walk, the feelings aren’t going to go away, because I’m going to go to nothing.”
