The sun sets for Sunshine

He did it again! Ben totally stole the eviction night show! And it seems we’re not the only ones who have picked up on Ben’s hilarious grooming habits, Davina also joked about Ben’s regular nail painting, skin care regime and hair tousling. Each week Ben’s vanity, along with his hair, just keeps getting bigger and bigger! But all that preening was worth it for his 90 seconds of making BB history, performing to the live outside audience Ben looked blushed and manicured to perfection!

So back to the actual evictees…with three girls up for the public vote this week there was bound to be lots of glitter, mascara and glamour galore. If Shabby’s bow tie counts as glam?! Sunshine went for a fairy-esque look with fluffy fascinator and false diamanté eyelashes which, as Ben aptly noted, put Miss Piggy to shame! However, all the glitter and lavish lashes obviously didn’t pay off as she was the third housemate to be evicted from the BB house. Diva Sunshine has left the building! There will be no more dressing up, Lady Ga Ga routines or flirting with John James and I think we can officially close verruca-gate…for now anyway!

Self-lovin' BB style

As we have got to know the housemates and seen them develop over the last week we have also witnessed some intense and bizarre beauty regimes transpire from some of the more image conscious contestants. Makeovers have had some interesting results. And then there's the whole verruca-gate thing rearing up again.

Even though there hasn't been an eviction yet, I think I can safely say that we have the most narcissistic group of contestants than any previous Big Brother. Which is fitting considering it's the last one! The bathroom has become the new living room in the BB house, with housemates regularly congregating here to pamper themselves, shower together and then pamper themselves a bit more. Maybe Big Brother needs to give them more to do?

We've already mentioned Corin, whose routine includes shaving her forehead as well as removing makeup first thing in the morning immediately followed by reapplying more makeup. Does she know how bad this is for her skin? (We're hoping she is using a quality cleanser!). Rachael admits that she checks the mirror over 100 times a day and she certainly isn't exaggerating! With so much effort on makeup and not enough on skin care, the housemates' complexions may be a lot less healthy and glowing by week 13 (Hello housemates. Yeah, it's Freederm calling... ;-)

Shameless plug: did you know we have a competition to win tickets to the BB evictions? Enter your lovely self at www.freedermbb.co.uk for your chance to see the tears live.

Hey Sunshine, bazooka that verruca!

The verruca-gate in the BB house has opened again this year as we discover the truth about Sunshine, warts and all! What is it with Big Brother contestants and verrucas? First it was Jade Goody in Big Brother 3 and her ‘minging’ verruca, then Alex Reid in last year’s Celebrity Big Brother and now the verruca brawl has raised its ugly head (or foot) again. If you haven’t yet seen, Sunshine has been getting teased about her verrucas, despite not having any, by fellow housemates. The vegan housemate is complaining of feeling isolated by the other contestants who keep laughing at her non-existent foot disease.

I don’t blame Sunshine for getting upset at being accused of having verrucas. No one wants to be seen to have foot fungal, especially when in a confined space where most housemates don’t even wear trousers let alone shoes and socks as protection. To top things off this conversation all took place over the breakfast table – disgusting!

Verrucas have become one of those shameful conditions we all dread to admit to despite being a harmless and common occurrence. Surely you all remember the embarrassment a verruca caused whilst back in school, the white rubber verruca socks – oh the shame of it! Let’s hope our housemates ease up on Sunshine and those verruca free feet of hers!

Or just bazooka Ben.
