It’s a week of blonde ambition for some in the house as first Pete and then Glyn took to the peroxide and decided that blondes have more fun. There were however two blondes who weren’t having too much fun if the last couple of days were anything to go by. Nikki, never the easiest housemate to get along with was playing something of a risky game with her archrival Aisleyn.

Despite the fact that they had allegedly patched up their differences the day before there was clearly some mileage Nikki was going to draw from the previous conflicts. By playing upon the act of her own innate vulnerability and the “ghetto princess” toughness of her enemy she sought to paint herself as a victim of covert bullying. Earlier in the show she might have pulled the wool over people’s eyes but at this relatively late stage it was clear that the more seasoned housemates were wise to her machinations.

Pete and Richard took surprisingly neutral roles in the conflict with the latter casting aside his usual bitchy fa?ade in a bid to play peacemaker. Perhaps he realises its getting late in the day and now is the time to be winning the influence of the viewing public with a more mature set of tactics than the outright bullying and bitching he has been guilty of employing in the previous weeks.

Whatever the reasoning behind his tactic on the surface it seemed to work as Nikki and Aisleyn (who in fairness had made every effort to build bridges) seemed to bond, although it was clear to anyone with eyes there was about as much genuine love between these two as there is between oil and water.

A game of tennis in the garden was the task for the housemates, simply by returning shots over a makeshift net that Big Brother had created meant that the housemates would win themselves a party that night. Once again Nikki was the fly in the ointment with her unwillingness to participate and her moody nature potentially highlighting a threat to their victory. Once again it was Richard who talked her round and effectively carried her through the game in a bid to help the housemates win their prize.

And it was the prize that would cause more upsets that night.

The party included alcohol, and the obligatory game of spin the bottle was once again introduced by the participants. Already under the influence of champagne there had been a series of uncomfortable glares thrown from people as unlikely as Pete. Seeing Nikki flirting with a clearly tipsy Mikey showed a slightly terse side to the usually placid house favourite. But things were to escalate, spin the bottle pretty much always comes down to sex. And tonight was no exception, newcomer Spiral clearly holds affections for Aisleyn and didn’t take it well when she rejected his advances for a kiss. And with the Dublin boy’s resemblance to a gargoyle it was hardly surprising. However to rub salt into the boy’s wounds Aisleyn engaged in a serious tongue hockey session with none other than Pete proving that blondes do have more fun. The look from Nikki was one that will undoubtedly be returned to in the show’s reruns. If looks could kill then anyone near a television set would feel the burn.

It didn’t end their either, Spiral took the rejection so badly he ended up picking a fight with Nikki who surprise surprise shed yet more tears. While Glyn retired to the diary room to offer his sage views on the evolution of the house and the fact that he may never ever kiss a woman as attractive as Lea. Ah, the wonders of a first crush, and to be honest the wonders of his taste in women. I don’t know what they serve up in his hometown but if Lea is the best thing he could hope for then the world at large should offer him some nice surprises in the years to come.

Eviction wise there is a new story unfolding this week, Jayne has been a persistent rule breaker with that flapping mouth of hers and the penalty it would seem has been paid by the rest of the housemates. Apart from her, every single housemate is up for the push. And this week it should be a relative no brainer. There is plenty of chaff to sort from the wheat and it would be no great loss to the likes of Jenni from the house, although I suspect Michael might be at risk in light of his somewhat annoying “veteran” attitude. The guy ought to remember he has been in the house five minutes and despite what he might think he has not seen it all and done it all.

From a personal perspective nothing would give me greater pleasure than seeing the resident radar dodger Imogen get the push this week, I’ll give Susie the benefit of the doubt purely from a tactical viewpoint. In my view her number should be up next week. So if you folks who read this are into dialling out the least popular housemate, how about doing me a favour, please?
