God, I really want a can of Coke, or some Lucozade. Damn these shit sponsorship adverts at the beginning of BB. Charlie may, perhaps, have been better off if he’d spat Lucozade or Coke at Bea. Instead, last night he spurted water at her, and SHE WON’T LET IT LIE. ‘I’ve said sorry – there’s nothing more I can say, Bea,’ he tells her, looking very tired of the whole thing, and they have presumably, only just got up. ‘It’s something coming into my face I’m not expecting,’ she says, to me chorlting. ‘I don’t want to make a big deal of it,’ she lies. Lisa warns Charlie, outside, that Bea creates dramas. Hm.
Anyway, it’s now time for the HMs to receive their messages from home. Lisa is the first person to receive hers. She watches in the diary room, and the others watch on the plasma. Her message is from her mother and aunt, a pair of twins in pink jumpers. (I am not making that up.) ‘It was almost like The Shining,’ says Siavash. Charlie is the next to get his message. It’s from his dad. He tells him that his mother’s condition (she’s in a coma, donchaknow) is improving. OK – he doesn’t deserve to win, then? Bea cries. Marcus cries. (He really does.) Bea has a message from her friend Tia. The message is fun, and kind, but not deep and meaningful. ‘Why wasn’t it my mum?’ asks Bea. She sobs. ‘Everyone’s getting messages from their parents,’ she weeps. rather ungratefully. David goes next. It’s from his aunty and his friend. He weeps before they’ve even spoken. There is a break in the messages, so Marcus goes to comfort Bea, who is still upset. ‘Some people are just never happy,’ Charlie says about Bea in the garden. She asks the diary room why her mother didn’t do the message. ‘Your mother did not want to appear on TV,’ says BB, and, even though Bea seems to know that this is true, she is still upset.
Marcus’ message is from his friend, Helen. She is hilarious – kind of like a pretty, female version of him. He is delighted. Rod is next. It’s from his ‘UK parents’. They seem very sweet. Siavash has a message from his mum and cousin. They are both rather beautiful, and his mum very sophisticated. Funny how it’s sometimes exactly as you’d imagined. ‘I did not hear anything,’ he says. ‘It’s really weird.’ Sophie is next, and looking forward to hearing from her mum. She has a message from her mum and her friend, but… She also has one from Kris! WOW. ‘From my opinion, nothing’s changed,’ he says. ‘I’ll be there, waiting for you, when you get out.’ Do I note some insincerity in his voice? Or am I just a wretched cynic?
Anyway, they are having a little party. They take the piss out of Bea, saying she didn’t even know who her friend was, and had to go to the diary room to ask who she was. Haha! This is quite witty. Rod and Sophie keep laughing, and Bea gets cross. Siavash starts laughing. Then Rodrigo says he wasn’t even laughing about that, and that Bea is making a drama. ‘Don’t give Bea a surprise for her birthday,’ says Charlie. ‘She hates surprises.’ Then no one can stop laughing. Bea smiles a bit, but you know she’ll make a drama of it later. And she does, in the diary room. She also thinks she might be up for nomination next week.
Rod tries to apologise to her, but she’s not having it. She also does her little trick of not quite remembering what she said. He says sorry, but she pretends to David that it was Rodrigo who brought it up again. This is another of her tricks! Let’s count how many of her stupid tricks she uses: lying about what she’s said, pretending someone else is making a drama, and making someone else out to be an idiot, though nothing’s been done. So he swims off. Marcus laughs. She is right: she’ll be up tomorrow, mos def. So she plays the ‘I want to go home’ card. This is a new trick for her! Still, she’s off. BYE!
