Sara and Mikey discussed their worries about the public this afternoon.

Although the two ‘Big Brother’ housemates were initially excited as they chatted about making it to the final, they soon began to worry as their realised their futures are in the hands of the public.

Sara screeched: “We’re in the final now Mikey, we can just relax! No more heart-racing!”

Mikey replied: “You feel better. You can’t now say to people in this room, ‘You shouldn’t be in the final.’ No-one can say that.”

Sara agreed: “No, because it’s up to the public and they’ve voted and that’s it.”

Pondering this, Mikey said: “You need to respect them.”

Sara continued: “Exactly, because it’s their show now. It is their show. It’s ‘Big Brother’, but the public run the show.”

As Mikey looked at her blankly, Sara tried to explain her point: “The housemates have a part to play, but from this point on the public run it. The public have always had a part, but through nominations it’s been half the housemates.”

Finally understanding her, Mikey added: “The week that Dale and Stuart were up I’m sure there were lots of people outside thinking, ‘I don’t want any of these to go.’ It’s like we force it on them.”

Sara added ominously: “But now it’s just Big Brother and the public.”

The ‘Big Brother’ housemates have been tasked with creating their own raps.

The group were told their individual raps must contain their favourite and least favourite memory of their time in the house, as well as a summary of their experience.

Comic Mikey immediately got into the spirit of the task and began saying: “Hi, I’m Mikey.”

He then decided to adopt an American accent for the rest of his song, and - in a reference to the plastic duck he uses to squeeze water onto the other housemates - began yelping: “Mr. Quack Quack. Where’s Mr. Quack Quack. If you sleep during the day, Mr. Quack Quack will make you pay.”

Embracing the task, Sara muttered: “Let’s get the ‘yo yos’ in there.”

After getting over her initial embarrassment, Sara rapped: “I entered the BB house, yo, yo, yeh, yeh.”

Mikey continued: “I’m talking about a funny bunny, funny wunny.

“I ain’t no funny bunny. There was one baddy bee. She was dressed as a bunny. Hey, I’m Mikey B.”

He proceeded to rhyme ’ski-slope nose’ with ‘painted toes’.

Giving the challenge her best shot, Rachel rapped: “When I walked in the Big Brother house, I was lucky like a mouse.”

She then started singing about the earlier treadmill task, while Mikey decided to inject some excitement into his creation by adding lines about going to bed early.

Big Brother Day 91 - Eviction Prank

Big Brother played an eviction-themed prank on the housemates today.

After last night’s shock ousting of Kathreya and Mohamed, Big Brother picked up on the anxious and paranoid mood of many of the housemates and decided to have some fun.

Rex started the joke when he returned from a Diary Room chat and announced there was to be another eviction.

After he imparted the news, Rachel squeaked: “Really? What did Big Brother say?”

Rex explained: “Sum up your time in the house. Would you be sad to go before the final?”

Darnell yelled: “You’re joking! Daaamn! They are playing us. For sure. Someone’s going.”

Rachel reasoned: “They’ve asked me those questions a few weeks ago. That doesn’t mean there’s an eviction.”

A worried Darnell cried: “Yeah, but, ‘would you like to go before the final?’ ”

Joker Rex then admitted: “Actually, they didn’t ask me that. I’m just pulling your legs.”

As the housemates began to calm down after Rex’ prank, Big Brother decided to have some fun of his own.

The five remaining housemates were called to the sofas and cheers were played into the house, just as they are on eviction days.

Big Brother then called out each of the contestant’s names in turn and ordered them to stand up, leaving them all glancing anxiously at each other as they prepared to hear one of them was leaving.

Big Brother then said: “As you know, you are the remaining five housemates in the Big Brother House. Big Brother would like to congratulate all of you and wish you luck for Friday’s final.”

The ‘Big Brother’ housemates discussed last night’s shock evictions today.

Rachel, Mikey, Darnell and Sara were all in the bedroom looking glum when they decided to relive the events of the previous evening, which saw Mohamed and Kathreya leave the house.

Looking deflated, Rachel admitted: “I missed Mo this morning.”

Darnell added: “Kat’s blanket still smells like Kat.”

Sara said: “I’m still in shock, so we’re all dressed as Mo and then the Meatloaf song came on. And then, literally, five seconds after that, silence. I still didn’t think anything. Then, ‘Big Brother House, this is Davina.’ ”

Mikey added: “It was over so fast I didn’t have time to register it.”

The group then began wondering whether Mohamed had his picture taken with the contestant’s Polaroid camera - as all the other evicted housemates have - with Rachel soon admitting they hadn’t taken a picture of Kat.

She revealed: “We didn’t get one of Kat though, she was too upset.”

Referring to the task costume Kat was wearing when she had to leave, Darnell added: “She had to go out in her dressing gown and an afro wig. That is not the way she wanted to roll out.”

Big Brother Day 91 - Mikey’s Dream

Mikey shared his latest dream with Rachel this morning.

The foul-mouthed comic has had a series of weird and wonderful dreams over the last few days, and last night was no exception.

He explained: “I had this weird dream last night. We were in Edinburgh Castle. We were staying the night. We were in bunk beds. There were torches. Did someone mention torches last night?”

When Rachel said Rex and Darnell had been discussing the item, Mikey went on to reveal his odd dream was clearly rooted in last night’s shock eviction of Mohamed and Kathreya.

He continued: “It was scary, at the top there’s only so much space to walk. I was looking at a huge drop, straight down. There were Jelly Babies floating about. And bunnies. It was like Alice in Wonderland.”

Clearly a little bored with listening to the tale of Mikey’s slumber, Rachel muttered: “Aw, were we in it?”

Mikey replied: “We were looking for Kathreya actually. We couldn’t find her.”

Both housemates then sat staring into the distance as they thought of their evicted pal.

Suddenly killing the mood, Rachel said: “Mmm, mmm, mmm. I may go back to bed and get another hour’s sleep.”

Big Brother Day 91 - Rex Amazed to be in Final

Rex is “amazed” he has made it to the ‘Big Brother’ final.

The bossy chef - who has irritated many of his fellow housemates by continually boasting about his wealthy lifestyle - admitted he was shocked he had made it to the final after Kathreya and Mohamed were evicted last night.

After claiming he felt “humble”, Rex added: “I’m still amazed. It’s absolutely amazing that people have picked up the phone and voted for us. They spend their own money. I feel so amazed.

“It makes me feel like everything I’ve done here has been worthwhile.”

Darnell also admitted he was excited the public liked him, but added he felt bad he was only happy now he his friends Mohamed and Kat had left.

Later, Darnell told Rex he couldn’t believe they were in the final because they were both “f***heads”.

Rex was in total agreement, adding it proved the public preferred housemates who “don’t smell of roses”.

The pair then began to wonder if they would be the last two left in the house, but agreed they were just happy to make it to the final.

Darnell said: “People must like me. I don’t even need no money, dude.”

BB Racism Strikes Again- Eastenders’ Wendy Richard makes racist blunder on Big Brother’s Little Brother

Former Eastenders actress, Wendy Richard has been accused of being racist after her appearance on Big Brother’s Little Brother. In the latest of her bizarrely frequent sofa slots on BBLB her remarks have ensured that Big Brother is now caught up in yet another race row and have likely struck her off their guest list for good.

In an interview with George Lamb about the BB housemates, she discussed her changed feelings towards Kat, who she has decided is a “fake”. Trouble was she didn’t stop there.

No, she turned conversation to Kat’s race saying, “What is it they say about these inscrutable Chinese? And is she Thai, but that is Oriental, isn’t it? Well it is to me, anyway.”

Nice one, Wendy. You’ve used that age-old classic race-equals-generalised-character-trait reasoning. Don’t you look open-minded now?

Though an awkward-looking George Lamb did try to bring the situation into line affirming, “I don’t think that’s unique to Asian people, more to Kat…”, Wendy’s words are out there now and have only added to BB’s fraught relationship with race.

Watch the moment for yourself (above).

Big Brother Day 91 - New Race Row

‘Big Brother’ is engulfed in another race row after former ‘EastEnders’ star Wendy Richard seemed to racially abuse Kathreya.

The actress was appearing on spin-off show ‘Big Brother’s Little Brother’ (’BBLB’) on Monday night when she began discussing the Thai masseuse, who left the house in a shock eviction last night.

Wendy said: “I was a big fan of Kat, and we would discuss it amongst our friends and they said she is not right.

“I looked at her through different eyes and I have to admit they were right and I was wrong. She is fake, and she is very cute.

“What is it they say about these inscrutable Chinese? And she is Thai, but it is all Oriental isn’t it? Well it is to me anyway.”

Realising how offensive the comments could be, presenter George Lamb quickly said: “I don’t think that is unique to Asian people, more to Kat.”

Wendy continued: “They don’t betray their emotions on their face, that is what I meant.”

TV watchdog Ofcom has already received complaints about the episode, which was cut from repeats of the show.

A Channel 4 spokesman said: “‘BBLB’ does go out live, George Lamb did correct her that her comment was not specific to Asian people but to Kat.”

Wendy’s spokesman Kevin Francis said: “Wendy would have not intended comments that way, she is not racist at all. It has been blown out of all proportion.”

Jady Goody was accused of racially bullying actress Shilpa Shetty during last year’s ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, while ‘Big Brother 8′ contestant Emily was removed after she used the word “n****r”.

Big Brother Day 91 - Kat & Mo Evicted

Mohamed and Kathreya were evicted from the ‘Big Brother’ house last night.

The shock evictions took place as the unaware contestants were taking part in their latest task - which saw them mimicking each other - and left many of the group in tears.

The housemates were dressed in big black wigs and white dressing gowns as they impersonated Mohamed when Davina suddenly announced the toy demonstrator had been evicted.

Ten seconds after the announcement Mohamed exited the house to a mixed response.

When asked about his nickname ‘Greedy Mo’, he said: “They were calling me ‘Greedy Mo’ but I thought it was a joke. If there’s a spare chicken and no-one wants it, I’m going to have it. It has to be ate.”

He also admitted some of the contestants were concerned that Sara was only flirting with Darnell to win votes.

He said: “I think she flirted with Darnell and Stu for a purpose. As far as I know, she doesn’t fancy him but Darnell genuinely likes her. We’ve been telling him every morning it’s dangerous. For that moment he leaves it alone then he goes back to it later.”

He also revealed he had a secret crush on Rachel, saying: “I don’t know what to say about her. Every time I look at her I look at her a**e. I’m not being rude, she’s got a nice a**e.”

Taking about Rex, Mohamed admitted he could be “really horrible” and claimed he has “power” in the house.

As soon as Mohamed’s interview finished, Davina told the shocked housemates Kat was being evicted, prompting Darnell, Rachel and Kat to burst into tears.

Still in tears, Kat also exited to a mixed reception, but told Davina: “I’m extremely happy actually. I think I’m like English Marmite, sometimes you love me and sometimes you hate me. I think I might be a little bit annoying and a little bit too happy but better that than miserable. Happy, happy house!”

She also refused to hear a bad word about Rex, saying: “I’m his Thai sister and he is my English brother, I love him, any time I am upset he give me a hug and I want to be his friend. I want to show him love is give and take.”
