Victor refused his Tree of Temptation punishment last night. Yesterday the housemate was told he must wear a tree costume and take part in a task involving eating exotic food from around the world as punishment for failing to record the housemates bitching about each other.

Meanwhile….

-Nasty Nick has said he cheated in BB1 to liven up the show after being given simple week long tasks such as bake your own bread. In a conversation started by Ulrika, Nick said he treated BB1 as a gameshow but regretted making up lies about his girlfriend being killed in a car crash just to make conversations more interesting.

-Last night Ulrika kissed both Nick and Victor during a game of spin the bottle to entertain housemates after dinner. Michelle joked that Ulrika was having the time of her life. Brian also shared a kiss but with Vanessa Feltz, claiming it was all he needed as he is ‘straight’?

For this week’s task the housemates will become majorettes and recreate the infamous baton twirling challenge from BB7.

The housemates are expected to perform a routine to Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance this evening.

Nikki was chosen as choreographer, while Chantelle was given the title of troupe leader. Chantelle will have to learn a slightly more complicated routine as troupe leader. She reassured the housemates she would be able to pass the task as she used to be a majorette when she was younger.

However the task hasn’t gotten to an easy start with Nikki deciding to run laps in the garden rather than teach the housemates the routine after being overlooked for troupe leader. Instead Brian is leading the housemates through the display. Earlier he decided that himself, Chantelle, Michelle, Nikki and Preston would learn the dance first and then attempt to teach the rest of the housemates. Victor later joined the five in learning the dance after expressing how easy it was.

The housemates are now practicing the dance routine from memory after giving BB the instructional video back.

John James threatened to leave the show last night after clashing with one of the ex housemates who was invited back to the house for an afternoon.

Three ex contestants Ben. Nathan and Rachael were invited to spend some time at the house ahead of next week’s final.

The trouble started when John James received a massage from Rachael and made disrespectful comments about her. He later found out that Nathan, now Rachael’s boyfriend, was watching him slate the Beyonce look-a-like from another room. Corin told John James that BB would need security at the wrap party in case there was any trouble.

Earlier in the day Ben had also made comments that some of the former contestants had dined with his mum.

While most of the housemates went to bed around midnight, John James went to the diary room. JJ was later called to join him.

A concerned Sam tried to listen in to what was being said in the diary room as he was worried John James would leave.

John James said he was sure that his comments about Rachel would mean he would be evicted on Friday and would rather be at home with his family.

Josie, who has now made up with the Aussie, claimed that BB had set John James up and said she would leave if he walked. But she later admitted she would stay and use her golden ticket.

However calm has now been restored to the house after John James changed his mind about leaving and said he would like to apologise to Rachael and Nathan.

Josie has told John James that their relationship is over.

The Bristol blonde told John James that they were finished as she doesn’t want to be with a man that treats women badly. John seemed confused and asked Josie to explain what he had done.

Her decision followed an argument between the pair, fuelled by Sam, after the Aussie failed to back up Josie when she told Sam to stop bullying Corin.

Josie said she was sticking up for Corin as she knew what it was like to have Sam Pepper winding her up and claimed John James only disliked the graffiti artist when he was being nice to her.

Also….

Housemates have been set another challenge by Bob Righter as part of this week’s shopping task.

The fortune teller has challenged the housemates to both make and eat Rachel’s breakfast omelette from the previous Don’t come Dine with me task, or a dish made with insects.

David was nominated as the chef and made beans on toast with barbecue flavoured giant ants, fried worms, thai green curry crickets and oven baked tarantulas.

The housemates ate the meal and joked it was better than Rachel’s omelette. They  have yet to find out what Bob Righter predicted.

Bob Righter today set the housemates a shopping task that requires them to act unpredictably.

BB woke the housemates this morning with Bob Righter’s theme music and they soon discovered posters featuring the fortune teller and bearing cryptic clues dotted around the house.

The housemates where then called to the sofas to watch a video of Bob coming to life at night and wandering around the house, chatting with Davina McCaw and the Tree of Temptation before hiding an envelope in a briefcase and placing it in the garden.

For the task housemates will have to avoid fulfilling 15 predictions made by Bob Righter on how he expects them to act within the next three days to win a luxury shopping budget. The predictions are locked in the briefcase and must be guarded by two people at all times.

Housemates will also be set nine individual and several group challenges throughout the task.

Housemates were called to the diary room to compile their own ratings. and Big Brother then put a board by the sofas for each housemate to correctly guess the average rating everyone received in a particular category. Sam and Josie claimed the most titles, with Sam being named as the most attention-seeking, bitchiest and fakest housemate, while Josie received the most entertaining, least bitchy and least desperate to win.

-   Sam and Josie have fallen out again after she spotted the graffiti artist stealing Corin’s make-up bag for the second time. Josie told Corin what she had seen which prompted the Katie price look-alike to stage a protest outside in the smoking  area until the bag was returned to her. Fortunately Corin located the make-up bag within the five minutes BB had given her before she needed to return to the sofa for a task. Corin confronted Sam and told him not to take her things. Sam remained quiet, with only JJ and John James coming to his defence.

-    John James has said he would give the £100,000 prize money to Josie if he won BB. While he admitted that winning is unlikely, he told the other housemates he wouldn’t keep the prize money and originally intended to give it to charity or to split it between housemates.

-  Bookies have predicted that Sam, Corin and Josie will be in the final three.
