Heaven or hell

[Alpha]

IT is going to be Heaven and Hell for Big Brother's housemates next week.

The famous telly house will be split in half by the show’s bosses.

One group will live in luxury and enjoy treats.

But the unlucky other wannabes will have to suffer.

The BB gang will be asked to choose one person to become “head of house” today.

For the whole of next week, that person will have the power over everyone.

The lucky candidate will win immunity from eviction from the house next week.

They will also decide which of the gangs the other housemates will join.

The head of house will also:

* Make the housemates in “hell” do all the tasks while the others lounge around.

* Lock the “baddies” in the glass pod in the garden and make them nominate in front of everyone else.

* Stick folk in the BB padded cell – which was unveiled by the show’s host Davina McCall, 40 – on opening night.

* Decide what to spend the weekly shopping budget on –* treats for the “angels’” and nothing for the others.

* Choose when BB’s tokens – for things like hot water, hair straighteners and treats – can be used.

The sensational stunt is all part of a Heaven And Hell Week planned by BB chiefs.

However. the chosen one may find that their godly new role comes at a price. Those sent to hell in the BB house are likely to turn against him or her, because of the power they will be given.

And it could put them in the firing line for eviction the following week as revenge for the things they have forced others to suffer.

A BB source said last night: “Will being head of house be a dream role or a poisoned chalice?

“They will have complete power over the others.

“But power can corrupt.

“And they could find out it can be lonely at the top if everyone turns against them.

“Now the game really begins.”

The head-of-house stunt has been used in BB USA.

However in their show the HoH gets to pick who should go up for eviction.

The heavenly housemates were treated to a party last night.

After forcing Head of House Darnell to split the contestants into two groups - one which would live on the Heaven side of the house and one which would reside in Hell - earlier yesterday, Big Brother later told him those in Heaven would be receiving a special celebration.

Darnell was ecstatic when he was informed his group - Rex, Mohamed, Dale, Kathreya, Rachel and Maysoon - would be receiving angel outfits, party food and alcohol, especially as the contestants have been surviving on a basic budget of just £1 per person per day having failed last week's shopping task.

Those living in Hell were forced to look on in envy as their housemates enjoyed the soiree.

As Darnell ran to tell those in heaven about the party, Luke - who is living in Hell - lay on his bed and said: "Shut the door Mikey, I don't want to be associated with those angels."

Mikey replied: "I just knew Darnell would do that, I knew he would choose them, his cronies. All we've done is swap bedrooms."

Rebecca joined in the moan, saying: "Well I hope they have fun with those boring people. If I'm not in Heaven next week then I'm going to go mad."

Later, while watching those in Heaven tucking into prawns, sushi, chicken wings and sandwiches, Luke muttered: "Don't choke on your sushi. You won't believe the hate I'm feeling right now."

ALL hell broke loose yesterday as the house was divided into Heaven and Hell zones.

Darnell Swallow, 26, was elected Head of House and had to pick who would live in luxury and who would slum it.

Not surprisingly he chose his mates Dale, Rex, Mo, Kat, Rachel and Maysoon to join him on the heavenly side.

A fence has been erected in the house. The group living in Heaven can lounge around in the luxury bedroom, use the luxury “bling” bathroom and swim in the pool.

HThose in Hell can only sleep in the prison-like B Block, only shower in the garden and have to prepare all food and drink for their housemates in Heaven.

Those in Hell have turned against Darnell. Mikey, 33, moaned: “It’s a joke he got elected – it should have been Luke.”

The housemates in Hell were told they must earn the right to nominate this morning.

Head of the Big Brother house Darnell - who is living in the Heaven portion of the house along with Rex, Maysoon, Kathreya, Rachel, Mohamed and Dale while the rest reside in Hell - was called to the Diary Room and emerged clutching a set of instructions from Big Brother.

Seeing how excited Dale was he motioned towards the group living in Hell and muttered: "It's not for none of us. It's only for them."

As the housemates all listened attentively, Darnell explained those on the Hell side of the house would only be allowed to nominate this week if they peeled all the potatoes waiting for them in the garden.

Former bouncer Lisa - who is among those living in Hell - burst into applause at the news.

The contestants in Hell made their way into the garden, where they were confronted by a mountain of spuds.

As the peeling commenced, some of the heavenly housemates decided to spur the others on.

As Rex tried to encourage them, Rebecca snapped: "Yeah, that's it, come and laugh."

Mikey was also less than impressed, saying: "Rex, we're doing the task, not you. This doesn't really involve you."

Irritated Bex added: "Bye! Can you not stand there please? You go and drink your luxury water. We'll sit and peel potatoes to get the right to nominate. My arm hurts already."

Rex walked to the smoking area, put his feet up and declared: "Oh, it's a hard life over here. Mo, are you gonna go for a swim?"

The heavenly housemates were given fish and chips last night.

The contestants in Hell - Belinda, Lisa, Luke, Rebecca, Sara, Stuart and Mikey - were particularly annoyed about the treat because Lisa had just prepared a meal of chicken nuggets, potatoes and rice, which those in Heaven had eaten.

The Hell housemates - who must serve those in Heaven by preparing all their meals - were also upset because the house is currently surviving on a basic shopping budget of just £1 per person per day after failing last week's shopping task.

Bex vented her anger by insisting they couldn't use tomato ketchup, adding: "You just had tea when you knew you were getting a takeaway! We could have had more chicken nuggets."

Luke also complained, pointing out Darnell - who was elected leader of the house last week and picked those who entered Heaven - was Head of House not Head of Luxury.

Darnell did not help the mood in the house when he claimed the treat was a reward for the potato-peeling task the Hell housemates completed earlier in the day.

Lisa muttered: "Go on, rub it in."

A furious Mikey said Darnell had hardly spoken a word without food in his mouth recently.

He added: "And Mo said he didn't have room for tea, but he's got plenty of room for that fish supper."

The housemates took part in a massive food fight last night.

Contestants on the Heaven side of the Big Brother house - which has been split into Heaven and Hell this week, with those on the Hell side tasked with serving the others - started the fight by throwing bombs made of toothpaste and water at Hell housemate Stuart.

Stuart told fellow Hell inhabitant Rebecca about his plight and the pair decided to retaliate when the others let their guard down.

Bex pretended she was annoyed with the heavenly housemates - who she labelled "f***ing t***s" - in an attempt to cover the plan.

Later, Stuart and Bex sneaked up to the luxury bedroom and pelted a surprised Dale, Darnell and Mohamed with toothpaste bombs.

Dale laughed: "You little s***s!"

Darnell described the attack as an "ambush", while Mohamed managed to hit the pair with a bomb.

The fight soon moved into the living room, where Belinda decided to help out the Hell housemates.

Water, lentils, toothpaste, fish and flour were all thrown across the room and the fight only ended when Head of House Darnell was summoned to the Diary Room.

Upon his return, Darnell announced: "They said the s**t is not funny. They'll look past it, but we have to clean up. If it happens again it'll be serious consequences. They said it's against the law to damage someone's property.

"She wasn't nice about it. It was just the tone of her voice. You know how they talk in riddles? She was straight up. They aren't playing."

The housemates have been set a French-themed shopping task.

The contestants - who are currently split into two groups, with those on the Hell side of the house being forced to serve those on the Heaven side - were told to gather in the living room this afternoon while Head of House Darnell went to the Diary Room to receive the challenge instructions from Big Brother.

Upon his return, Darnell said to the Hell housemates: "You guys got it pretty tough."

He explained there are four tasks split between the two sides. The heavenly housemates have to master the art of mime, taste wine and learn to appreciate French food.

In contrast, those in Hell have 30 hours in which to cycle 1,040km, the equivalent distance of Paris to Madrid.

Darnell picked Kathreya and Rex for the food task, Rachel and Dale to learn mime and Maysoon and Mohamed to try wine tasting.

However, the contestants immediately started to worry they had already failed as Maysoon does not drink.

Darnell said he would ask Big Brother if he could swap Maysoon and Dale around, but he was cut off by the announcement that the task room was open.

Earlier, the Hell housemates speculated the task would have a French theme after they were woken by French music.

The alarm - which always relates to the shopping task on Tuesdays - caused great confusion until Belinda identified the song, saying: "It's Edith Piaf. She's French. French revolution? Singing maybe?"

When the housemates in Heaven woke up, chef Rex became convinced the task would be food related.

He said: "That song is the soundtrack to the film 'Chocolat' and that film is all about food. If it's a food task, I'm running it."

The Hell housemates think they will fail this week's shopping task.

The group - Lisa, Belinda, Stuart, Luke, Rebecca, Mikey and Sara - have 30 hours to cycle 1,040km, but they are concerned the challenge is too tough for them to compete.

As first the team were excited about it, especially when they saw the newly decorated task room.

Sara exclaimed: "This is so cool!"

Lisa joked: "You won't be saying that in the early hours of the morning."

Fitness-mad Lisa and Stuart were the first to take to the bikes, but even they admitted the going was tough.

When Luke told Stuart he had only completed one mile, Stuart replied: "This is hard guys."

Belinda was equally as concerned as she watched the pair cycling, saying: "I can't go that fast, no way."

Bex was next up, but soon started complaining the seat of the bike was too high so she couldn't peddle properly.

Tired of her team's negativity, Lisa said they might as well "give up now" if everyone was going to be so defeatist.

The Big Brother housemates received their costumes for the French-themed shopping task this afternoon.

For the challenge, the people living in the Hell side of the house - Belinda, Rebecca, Lisa, Luke, Sara, Stuart and Mikey - have 30 hours to cycle over 1,000km.

The group must wear lycra outfits and cycling helmets.

Luke and Bex were both unimpressed by the costumes, with Luke moaning his was "chaffing" his legs and Bex complaining her top smelt.

Kathreya - who is completing a food related challenge alongside Rex - was much happier with her outfit.

Decked out in a beret with a string of onions around her neck, she termed the outfit "cool".

Rachel - who will be learning the art of mime with Maysoon - was given a black and white striped top to wear, much to the annoyance of Bex.

The busty nursery nurse exclaimed: "Look at the mime costumes!"

Mohamed - who will be completing a wine tasting task with Dale - received a beret, a red jacket a neck scarf and a fake moustache.

Head of House Darnell - who had to place each of the heavenly housemates in the task he thought they were most suited to as part of his role as leader - must wear a French policeman's uniform.

Originally, he picked Maysoon to complete the wine tasking even though she cannot drink alcohol. She has been allowed to swap positions with Dale.

Explaining his choice, Darnell said: "All I had to go on was, 'two housemates will be tested on the sensitivity of their palates.' "

Dale and Mohamed started their wine tasting task last night.

The Big Brother pair must learn to identify 15 wines from their smell and taste alone in order to pass their part of this week's Vive La France shopping challenge, but despite their initial excitement the boys soon realised the task was trickier than they had anticipated.

The duo were given one hour to practice and whopped with joy when they entered a room containing the wine.

However, after ten minutes of practice Mohamed admitted: "I can't tell the difference."

Dale replied: "I don't have a fucking clue."

When Mohamed suggested they might as well just drink the wine, Dale responded: "Let's just get fucking pissed like, it'd be bangin' that."

The boys eventually decided to give the task a try, with Dale sampling one wine and commenting: "This one's proper oaky, like woodchips."

His enthusiasm was short lived when he couldn't tell the difference between the sixth, seventh and eighth bottles.

He said: "It's no good. It's just wine to me. All I think is 'down it, down it, down it'."

The housemates must pass three or more of their French tasks - miming, wine tasting, cooking and cycling - in order to secure a luxury shopping budget.

Maysoon and Rachel - who learnt the art of mime - completed their portion of their task last night and are convinced their were successful.
