CBB 2010: Day 24, Live Show and Day 25

I’ve been busy, the last couple of nights, so I had to catch up on 3 episodes very quickly, yesterday.  As a result, the post won’t be as long as normal, but, luckily, not a great deal happened.

Day 24:

The housemates had an hour to sculpt a copy of the Lionel Ritchie bust out of the Hello video.  Whilst blindfolded.  It was an inspired task.  A Lionel look-a-like came in to judge the busts and they thought it was the real Lionel.

Over the last couple of days, the housemates keep mentioning the amazing friendship between Alex and Jonas.  If this is the case, why have we seen so little evidence of it?

Live Show:

Ivana was evicted.  No big surprise.  Not really bothered.

The housemates were dressed in animal costumes and Nicola was called to the diary room to be secretly evicted.  She was squirreled away out of a back corridor.  With no shoes on.

I feel like a bit of a hypocrite for liking the dim glamour model, but she seems like a nice girl.

In the big twist, Davina went into the house, whilst wearing Nicola’s chicken costume.  She was giddy with excitement.  Her job was to keep the chicken costume on and not let on who she was.  Vinnie knew straight away that it wasn’t Nicola.

The whole thing seemed extremely sinister.

Day 25:

The tree of temptation told Vinnie that he had to tell Alex that he had once cross-dressed and really loved it.  He then had to make lunch and then get emotional, telling the other housemates that they were more important to him than his friends outside the house.  He didn’t want to do it, but reluctantly agreed to avoid punishments.  Anyway, he did it and it was quite amusing.

In the diary room, Alex seemed genuinely moved by the whole BB experience. It was quite sweet.

The housemates were given their farmyard costumes, which we already know became relevant later.

Ivana is evicted.  Nicola went to the diary room and was replaced by Davina.  The housemates tried to get her chicken head off so they could see who she was.  She did lots of strange mimes, probably because she was freaking out, but she ended up just scaring the housemates.  Why didn’t they just let her talk?  They joke was only funny for about 5 seconds and then it was just mind-blowingly tedious.

Eventually, and I mean eventually, Davina was allowed to take her chicken head off.  And then she immediately left the house.  What was the point of it?  The series seems to be ending with a whimper.
