Yay

It's officially the most depressing day of the year, and it sounds like Big Brother is in an appropriately bad mood - which is good news for us, the grateful viewer, and bad news for the housemates.

Tonight, either Sov or Nicola will be evicted, but the fun doesn't stop there - immediately afterwards, the remaining housemates will have to nominate again, live on Channel 4. They'll be completely unprepared for this, so won't have spent hours concocting elaborate reasons relating to teeth and cooking habits, which should mean we get some nice spontaneous bitching.

The BB lot haven't yet revealed what day the next eviction will happen, which is annoying as we'd like to plan our social life around it if it's all the same to them, but they do still have rather a lot of people clogging up that house, so we're glad the bumping-offs are increasing in frequency.

Oh, and the housemates aren't having a nice chilled build-up to tonight's eviction - last night they had a surprise visitor in the form of former football manager Barry Fry (us neither, but a real-life boy tells us he's "a character"), who gave them a half-time bollocking in a hastily knocked up locker room. "He criticises their performances in the first half of the series," says someone who gets paid to tell us all what's happening on BB. Nice work if you can get it. "He tells them what he expects from them in the second half of the series and discusses tactics about how they can improve their performance."

We have some tips for them too: Sov - cheer up, Alex - cover up, Stephen - shut up.
