Puppet On A Sting
Day 66, 15:45
Sunday 01 August

The housemates' hand puppet show hasn't quite been the family entertainment Big Brother was perhaps hoping for.

In fact, what began as a leisurely Sunday afternoon jolly, ended up with one housemate in particular using the opportunity to launch a caustic attack on another.

Jason was the inspiration for Stuart's sock puppet, while Dan's ventriloquist pal was a send up of chain-smoking Nadia, and Shell made Stuart the subject of her performance.

Much of Nadia's ventriloquism was utterly incomprehensible, but the presence of "muff" under her sock puppet Shell's tutu, more than made up for it.

All in all it was good clean fun - until Jason took centre stage.

His puppet, he introduced to everyone, was modelled on his old friend Dan - or Gandalf the Gay as he insisted on calling him.

It looks nothing like me


"Can you tell the audience why your tongue is so big?" Jason asked his hand.

"So I can get it as far up Nadia's backside as possible," replied Dan the puppet.

"I'm the biggest thing to come out of Hull since the washer dryer combo," the sock proceeded to inform the audience.

Once the show was over, Jason assured Dan his performance was all in good humour and shouldn't be misinterpreted as a personal attack - before slinking off to bed, his work for the afternoon clearly done.

Once he was out of the way, the others soon began to discuss the proceedings.

Everyone assured Nadia she shouldn't take offence. "He was getting at me," Dan told her, huffily.

Looks like it worked...
