Yesterday saw the housemates being awoken by a show tune, prompting them to guess at the identity of their celebrity hijacker.
As 'There's No Business Like Show Business' rang around the house, a curious John speculated: "It'll be an actress-type-singer-thingy." Making further deductions, the politician theorised that the song had been sung by Liza Minnelli and so the hijacker could be her ex-husband, reality TV star David Gest.
Alas, John was wrong, as Denise van Outen introduced herself to the house and asked what West End shows the housemates had seen, and though most shared musical memories, Amy was stumped, admitting: "I've never seen a musical." Which stunned the housemates, prompting them to set about naming popular musicals. Not only did she induce some thoughtful conversation into the house but she also brought some razzle-dazzle with a musical-themed task when she said: "I will be summoning groups of housemates to the Diary Room, where they will be given musical characteristics, then I'm going to choose my three favourite housemates." As an incentive to perform well, Big Brother promised the winners a luxury hamper full of pampering things.But before the challenge could start, Calista led the group in a vocal warm-up while dancer Latoya guided the housemates through some physical exercises. Shortly afterwards Calista and Jay were summoned to the Diary Room and re-emerged speaking only in song.
The overall winners of the task were John and after they spent the afternoon singing and dancing and the pair went into the Diary Room to collect their goodies of chocolate and bottles of champagne.
Nevertheless, It wasn’t all fun and games in the house yesterday as Big Brother got tough following the rule breaking of one of their number and would have to face the day on basic food rations.
Amy was the first to realise their punishment when she found the fridge to be bare before running to the other housemates and saying; "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the fridge is absolutely empty. Not one morsel of food. Not a scrap."
None of the housemates seemed to understand why they were being forced to stave with Amy wondering if it was because the almighty one thought they were all too fat however, the real reason was due to Anthony’s continued defacing of the house, despite numerous warnings from Big Brother. The culprit was confirmed to the baffled housemates when Amy read aloud a notice: "Dear housemates, Big Brother asks that housemates respect the Big Brother house and care for it as if it were their own, but Anthony has ignored these requests on numerous occasions."
Surprisingly, the news earned a mixed response from the group. Jay joked; "At which point do we kill Anthony?" before adding far more seriously: "Today's gonna be the worst day ever." Jeremy announced that he wouldn't eat for the day, though Amy scoffed: "That's not gonna help anyone, it's just gonna make you even moodier."
The artist and Liam were the only ones to attempt optimism, with the pair seemingly pleased with the amount of food Big Brother had bestowed upon them. "It's probably a good thing," claimed a hopeful Amy. "The fridge was a mess. I bet there was stuff just rotting in there." Liam agreed: "It's not too bad, there's a few bits and bobs here. As long as we've got bread, that’s fine." And the entrepreneur was determined to enjoy this unexpected turn of events, enthusing: "It's exciting though, as we've not done this have we? We've never lived on rations all week and it's quite good as one of the reasons we came on this was to experience new things."
Not convinced, an already five kilos lighter Calista feared further weight loss due to the rations: "I'll just be a bag of skin, a bag of skin with eyeballs," but despite the fact that Anthony had caused the housemates to have hardly any food, Liam admitted to feeling sorry for the boxer when he told John that he was worried that people on the outside would be turned off Anthony because of his actions. But John failed to sympathise with him and laughed: "I don't... he brought it on himself! It will be funny."
To take their mind of the lack of food, the girls indulged in a spot of defuzzing last night and spent a leisurely hour waxing various parts of themselves. While Amy and Latoya concentrated on their legs, armpits and arms, Emilia was kind enough to work on Calista's arms for her.
John and Anthony came into the bathroom to see what the girls were up to and an inquisitive John asked: "Can I get waxed?" However, an aching Calista warned: "I wouldn't if I were you John, you'll just cause yourself some unnecessary pain." Calista was shocked and gasped before shrieking: "Really!"
The main story of interest this week would have to be the ‘will-they won’t they?’ story between Claista and Anthony and yesterday Calista tried to fathom what was happening relationship by employing the age old tactic of asking his best mate.
She sat John down for what she called a "deep conversation" and hinted: "I just hope that if I got the wrong end of the stick or was misreading things that someone would tell me." But a loyal John was reluctant to reveal Anthony's feelings: "It's not my place to say."
Meanwhile, Anthony discussed Calista whenever the two were alone. He told John: "She's a brilliant girl but I don't know. It's hard to explain. When you're in here I don’t think you can trust your feelings. It's harder to assess."
Finally, Big Brother has announced that fans of the show have the chance to choose a theme for a party to be held in the Celebrity Hijack house.
Viewers can pick between three different party ideas, including a 'No Fun Party', where Big Brother will let the housemates start to have fun then stop the party altogether. Other choices, which can be voted for online, are a fancy dress party and a Brazil-themed party, where contestants get to design their own carnival costumes and a float.
