Tantastic housemates

It’s been a scorcher of a week in the BB house, which has seen housemates permanently in the Big Brother garden doing what they do best – stripping off and sunbathing! With not much else to do in the house, most contestants throughout BB history have wiled away their hours lapping up the sunshine during their stay. Those pasty looking contestants that passed through the doors 2 weeks ago are now looking much more tanned and glowing, with some exceptions of course!

The worst offender of this year’s sun worshipping is by far the self confessed sun bed addict Corin Fanshawe. The Jordan lookalike is looking more and more orange by the day, always the first housemate out in the morning and last in. Poor Corin’s skin must be crying out for some shade and rehydration; perhaps she could borrow some of Ben’s vast supply of moisturiser? As eviction night looms the other housemates have upped the tanning stakes joining Corin in the garden to top up their tans.

Let’s hope Big Brother dishes out some more tasks or sun block soon or we could see some very dry and wrinkled housemates in the not to distant future.

The Battle of the Bikini commences

The Big Brother housemates have been making the most of the sunshine today, or perhaps trying to win some favour by treating viewers and fellow housemates to a showcase of bikinis. But who will triumph as bikini queen of the final season?

Already a hit with most of her housemates Rachael has taken every opportunity to show off her curvaceous figure in an array of bikinis, underwear and shower scenes. However, despite strutting her 'bootylicious' stuff since day 1, Rachael’s friends and families have revealed that the Beyonce wannabe is actually quite insecure about her figure.

With seven attractive female contestants in the house this year’s bikini battle was always going to be an interesting one to watch. Although I’m just as enthralled by the men’s antics. First we had a show of revealing Y-front wearers followed by Mario’s streak through the house and then John James’s barely there towel display. Perhaps the boys are giving the girl contestants a run for their money in the ’bare all’ stakes this year!

Normally viewers have to wait a few weeks before housemates get brave enough to waltz around in next to nothing, however all the contestants have upped the ante in the final season of the show. We have some advice for the housemates – when lounging around outside, don't forget to protect your lovely skin; use suncream!
