Welcome to my final hour of updates today. Remember the rules I've set about allowed emails this afternoon (see the previous two hours coverage).
For this hour we'll continue with the two topic questions set this afternoon:
What song (please name the artist) do you think reflects each housemate?
and,
What is the thing you are LEAST likely to hear any of the remaining housemates say?
16:00 - 16:15
Afdter giving Nadia a short elecution lesson in how to say the word "butter" (pronouncing both t's of course) Shell goes to lie down, saying she feels a little queasy.
Nadia pulls herself out of her egg, burping as she does, and goes to chat to Dan. Dan is feeling the heat and has moved into the shade. He moves to the bedroom telling anyone who can hear "the sun's not been that strong in a while!". He lays on his bed, sighing and asking if the others are going to sleep. Stu claims he is "resting his eyes and saving his voice" which prompts BB to play loud rush-hour noise into the house. Stu covers his ears.
They are, infact, all in bed, and not moved by the din. I don't really blame them - it's roasting outside, enough to make anyone lethargic, the AC is off in the house so there's nowhere to keep cool, and they aren't allowed any rest. If they don't get irritated they could well get ill from the heat!
The noise stops, allowing the hm's to catch 40 winks at least.
You know what, I reckon someone at C4/BB actually READS these updates - often I say something about what they are/aren't showing us and it then soon changes. Just a sneaky feeling, but I'd not be surprised, we are the biggest non-official BB website and the only one to have live updates.... If I worked for BB I'd certainly be keeping an eye on views here.
Dan goes to the DR with a couple of empty plastic containers. I've not heard BB ask for them back - perhaps it's a peace offering?

Colin: "Stu: "No thanks, I'm not hungry"" hehe
Siobhan: "Wake me up before you go go! - This has to be for Jason!!!"
Sorry Shiv - the forums are that way --------->
16:15 - 16:30
We see the DR door open and hear Dan say as he walks in "hi big brother, i just brought these boxes back" before the door closes after him.
The other four remain asleep.
Dan returns to tell the others he checked the thermometer and it's 30 degrees in the shade outside.
BB resume the roadworks din - you know, this stuff makes me want to switch off and not bother watching BB ever again - BB, it's annoying for the viewers more than it is for the hm's! Are you TRYING to loose support?
The alarm continues for over 8 minutes, the hm's not stirring one bit.
Your Messages
seank: "things not said

Daniel Kilkelly: "Lovely remarks?! Even though you keep getting my name wrong? =O Give me a few minutes... =)" What's an l (or n) between friends!
James: "Stu "I hope I get evicted tonight so I can see Mechelle - I miss her so much"
Nadia "No, I'm not going to spend any of the prize money on clothes or shoes"
Dan "Damn, I won"
Jason (crying) "But, Davina, I never expected to be booed"" Give up trying to get me to print offence James, however much you star it out - it's NOT funny and won't go up. Enough.
topcat: "The producers have just messed up again. Shell has spotted certain goings on underneath the door. She doesn't need a first class degree to reason correctly that there will definitely be an eviction tonight. They thought the various alarms would hide their movements outside, but they were still too noisy. Still, not as bad as the Davina leaving the microphone on and talking about bedsits. Another brilliant surprise ruined.
They should have said the day was one of celebration with music playing to put them of their guard. Not alarms. Producers could have done better."
Siobhan: "Nelly's: 'Its getting hot in here' would be good for all of them! Maybe they'll take off all their clothes, although it has been a problem in the past!"
Anon: "Nadia - Lisa Stansfield, "I May Not Be A Lady, But I'm All Woman!!!"
Snozzwangler: "Oooh, songs for housemates, you been peaking at the threads Claire. I stand by House of the Rising Sun for the whole experience "been the ruin of many a poor soul, and god, I think I'm one!"" followed by: "Jason: "Nadia, you are the most loveliest woman in the world, you make me full of joy and happiness. Let's run around the house together and have fun!"" followed by: "Dan:"I think I fancy women, how about it Snozzwanger" ........ I can dream can't I!", followed by: "I quite agree with you Claire, if we moan enough about it being boring, BB does something, ie an alarm or task or calls someone to the diary room. Power to the People!" Phew! You know you can put it all in one post don't you Snozzy? :)
aggie: "the HM's are least likely to say 'I want to win!!' Can BB not tell them if they don't get up £1000 will be deducted from the prize money?" How clean is your house? :p
Jan: "Jason - 'all by myself' - Celine Dion
Stuart - 'schools out for summer' - alice cooper
Dan - 'that don't impress me much' shania twain
Nadia 'All Woman'sorry don't know the artist
Shell 'sisters are doing it for themselves' sorry again, don't know the artist" Wheyhey Jan, at last an email from you I will put up! I knew you could come up with the goods :)
Alex: "What would be REALLY evil - extend the show for another week and not tell the housemmates (lets hope your theory about someone at BB looking at the updates is true)"
zap: "Day 20 - Two Tribes/Frankie goes to Hollywood" very apt zap
Waffler-in-Mcr: "(not meaning to be bitchy)
Jason: Hi, chicken!
Nadia: I feel like a workout...
Stu: That's SO boo-o-o-o-oring!
Shell: Anyone else fancy a McDonalds?
Dan: I'm going au naturel - no make-up tonight." Suits you sir! The new name I mean Tony :)
Topcat: "Shell: "I don't ever cry". Actually if memory serves me right, I think she did say that the first time she cried so i'll take that one back."
Just a note - the alarm is STILL playing and the hm's are STILL asleep, so I'll carry on with your emails if that's ok? They have been FAB this afternoon, thanks guys!
Oirish: "Jay: "Let's have some fun."
Nads: "No fags left? Oh well, never mind..."
Dan: "Big Brother, I want to walk now""
cherryb: "Nadia: "That's it" my very last fag I'm giving them up!"
Snozzwangler: "I like to keep you on your toes Claire! Sorry, for causing you extra work ...... how annoying am I .... no don't answer that!" Hey, my toes can keep up ;) You'll only be really annoying if you don't say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the lovely Tally! I did say it was her b'day today!
cherryb: "Stuart: I've gorn right off cereals I have." I think my bloke is JUST as unlikely to say that too! Men! pah :D
cherryb: "Jason: wish I was better looking." Don't we all?
bored_at_work: "Jason: I gotta get out of this place, if its the last thing I ever do (might just be)
Nadia: Man, I feel like a woman (GO NADS)
Stu: The boys are back in town. (Team Handsome)
Dan: Dancing queen
Shell: Prretty Woman"
topcat: "nadia: "I will survive". First line adapted..."First I was afraid, I was petrified. Didn't know how to get along without Marco by my side"...in fact the whole of the song fits for Nadia."
cherryb: "Jason: I really fancy that Nadia."
Ally: "according to friend an announcement came on over end credits of last nights 10 o'clock bb show saying there would be double eviction tonight,anyone else hear it or did my friend have one glass of wine too many!!!" I watched it too and neither me or my partner or any of the team heard this. If it IS true then they haven't told the press, and I very much doubt they would do that. In fact we have had the details of timings of the final four evictions on Friday - they aren't going to put a spanner in the works and annoy their friend, the press, at this late stage. She had too much wine.
16:45 - 17:00
The noise has FINALLY stopped (it lasted approx 20 mins). Stu talks to Dan on the decking and says he heard what he claims to be the stage being erected.
BB calls all hm's to the sofas. Ooooooooo!
All emails will have to wait until after this, sorry guys, but I will deal with them, even if I have to go past 5pm
Dan is the first to the sofa, followed by the sleepy-heads from the bedroom. Stu is singing a song really badly. Shell takes her blanket with her to the sofa and settles down, Stu asking if he can "catch the other end of that", refering to her cushion. Nadia has a sheet and also snuggles up next to Dan.
Stu irritatingly repeats, in a loud voice "Day 69! Day 69 guys!" over and over and over again. He then claims to be feeling nervously sick.
BB calls "one housemate" to the DR - Jay goes, Stu laughing nervously at who should go.
Stu really is blabbering on incoherantly - he is obviously very nervous.
Jason returns with a laminate and a large folder. They have a task - to create a BB time capsule which will contain items and info about themselves. If they succesfully complete the task they will recieve a disco and party. They have some items they have to contain - I'll summarise these later. It does include a DNA sample though!!!!!! They also have to do a slef-portrait, an item that has been important to them in the house (Jason immediately says he'll put in some fake tan).
Dan says he's worried about giving a DNA sample. Shell is too. Apparently they were asked for a hair before the show and she refused for the same reason. She says it's not because they can test hair for drugs (it is a commonly used medical test guys), but that they can also test for other things she doesn't want her or anyone else to know. Dan says he'll go to the DR to clarify about the DNA.
the laminate says the time capsule will be buried which makes Stu shout "wooooooo! Amazing!".
Stuart starts on his self portrait, shell remaining on the sofa looking unhappy and un-enamoured with the task.
A warning guys - I won't take ANY emails sent from NOW (5pm) onwards - so please stop sending them. I already have over 20 waiting and was due to finish at 5pm
Changing hours.
