[Sticks]

Over the years I have raised concerns over the way contestants are treated and the lack of duty of care on the part of Endemol

This time they excel themselves in playing fast and loose with safety

So, there you are, having a nice chat, getting to know each other and all of a sudden a bunch of blokes in balaclavas burst in.

That’s exactly what happened to the poor housemates this morning. The SAS team sent shock-waves through the House as they enforced an exercise routine on the gang and ordered Charlie and Saffia into the Garden for a Task – involving walking on broken glass.


"Remove your footwear," barked the big bad balaclava bloke. "Step forward one pace. In front of you lies 150 smashed wine bottles. This is real glass. Look forward, don't look down. This is real glass. It will cut you if you do not pay attention. Do you understand?"


"Yes," said Saffia nervously.

And the instructions followed. "Put your foot down on the glass. If it feels sharp, move your foot. It is not a race."


And to the utter amazement of all watching, they both completed the broken glass walk.

There was just one thing missing – some approval. "This is Big Brother. Congratulations Charlie and Saffia. You have successfully completed your challenge and are now housemates."


So, Charlie and Saffia are the latest additions to the housemate team, joining Lisa and Kris who won their citizenship last night. That was a hell of a Task too. Lisa had to – gasp – answer the Phone to earn housemate status and then she had to choose someone to join her and she chose Kris.


What a nail-biter…
