Ratings update: Show 2 pulls in 3.3 million

Filed: 15:15, Day 3 by Neil Wilkes DS:BB

Last night's Channel 4 show pulled in just over 3 million viewers, according to early figures.

An average of 3.34 million viewers tuned in for episode two at 9pm, with ratings reaching a peak of 3.71 million at 9.25pm.

Although the audience is down by almost 50% on Friday night's launch show, Saturday's update always ranks as one of the lowest in the week.

The figures are also consistent with last year's second episode, which was seen by 3.4 million.

Vote me out... so that I can stay!
09:57am 29th May 2005 Mail

Unlucky" Big Brother housemate Makosi Musambasi has already set about making herself the most unpopular contestant on the reality show after she was told to get the most nominations this week or face eviction.
But the cardiac nurse from High Wycombe is getting nothing but sympathy from fellow housemates at some of Big Brother's antics - when she needs to get them to hate her in order to stay.
The 24-year-old was told to sort through hundreds of keys in order to open her suitcase, which prompted laughter and offers of help from the group.
But she has to earn nominations as she became Big Brother's unfortunate victim after entering the Diary Room first - only to be told she had made a mistake and was up for eviction.
Asked: "Why didn't you tell me this?", Big Brother said: "Unlucky."
Makosi, who is originally from Zimbabwe, was told that the housemate to get the most nominations would be immune from the first eviction from the Channel 4 show.
Big Brother later asked her how she would go about saving herself and she replied: "That's easy ... I'll just annoy them and it will be me, me, me!"
In order to make enemies, Makosi switched on the lights while the housemates were still in a deep sleep and managed to annoy 24-year-old maintenance engineer Maxwell Ward.
The first nominations will take place on Tuesday, with the results announced in a live show on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, three housemates have already become amorous while playing a game of Spin the Bottle.
Dance student Lesley Sanderson's spin landed on former table dancer Vanessa Layton-McIntosh, who looked reluctant until 23-year-old seventies dancer Anthony Hutton suggested a three-way and the girls obliged.
Belly dancer Kemal Shahin, 19, who was born in Turkey but lives in Liverpool, took the opportunity of a game of truth to come out to his housemates and also his parents - who did not know his sexuality before the game.
Earlier, during a late night heart-to-heart, white witch Mary O'Leary told promotions worker Saskia Howard-Clarke that being in the house was not what she expected.
The daughter of a former priest and former nun, who claims to have been abducted by aliens seven times, Mary told Saskia she did not think she would fit in with the other 12 contestants.
In the famous Diary Room, the 30-year-old Londoner last night criticised the more exhibitionist contestants for their "pure peacock behaviour", and earlier told Big Brother: "I've made a mistake coming here.
"The reality of what I've done just hit me and if I had a wand I'd go back in time."
She added she finds comfort in the gnomes as they have a quality and natural essence.
"I feel vulnerable and I've made a mistake in my heart," she said.
But a spokeswoman for the Channel 4 show said Mary has since vowed to give Big Brother a three-day trial before deciding whether to stay.
The spokeswoman said: "It is a very strange environment and it always takes some time for the contestants to fit in but Mary seems to have settled now."

BB BITCH STOLE MY MAN

May 29 2005
EXCLUSIVE People
By Caroline Waterston and Chris Tate

BISEXUAL Big Brother housemate Sam Heuston is a callous man-eater who loves stealing other girls' blokes, a furious rival has revealed.

The warning came as busty Oxford Brookes University graduate Sam burst on to the nation's TV screens in what promises to be the most sexually explicit BB show ever.

Fiona Heap, who says Sam bedded her long-time sweetheart behind her back then brawled with her in a bar, snarled: "She's a bitch and a devious cow - a nasty piece of work.

"I think she has broken up quite a lot of couples."

Brunette Sam, 23, who has had a boob job to boost her sex appeal and sometimes wears panties bearing the word "Enter", made it clear she intends getting dirty in Big Brother 6.

She claims to have worn out two sex-toy vibrators and brazenly announced: "I believe every girl should be able to sleep around. I am an honest person. People may think I'm a slag, but I'm not."

And she says she will sleep with a rich man for cash.

But fellow student Fiona, 21, was seething when she saw the self-styled temptress make her debut on the show on Friday night.

Fiona, of Stockport, Cheshire, said: "I want her booted off the show as soon as possible.

"I don't want to blame my ex for what happened. In no way am I slating him. It's all down to her.

"She's a tramp - a joke. She will go out sometimes to clubs in just knickers and a bra, sometimes with slogans like 'Enter' on the panties."

Fiona - a close friend of last year's BB contestant Stuart Wilson - told The People how scheming Sam targeted her hunky rower boyfriend Jonathan Ruffe on a boozy night six months ago.

Fiona said: "We'd been going out for a year and knew Sam vaguely because she was at Brookes College in Oxford with us. But then she moved into the flat with some pals above where Jon was living. She got friendly with him because of that.

"Then one night Jon and I were out on the town but split to go to separate nightclubs.

"I stayed with my pals and he went off with the lads. Sam met up with him and slyly mentioned that I was flirting with other boys at the previous night spot.

"That was completely untrue but it put the seed of doubt in Jon's mind.

"Then later that night she jumped on his bones back at the flat."

Sam spent the night at Jon's flat and they romped on his sofa.

Fiona said: "I was devastated when I found out Sam had spent the night with him. She is a manipulative cow. Sam knew I had plans of my own that night, so she knew she could try to get her claws into Jon.

"When I found out what had happened on the sofa at Jon's place I felt sick."The thought of Sam and Jon romping together fills me with disgust even today.

"He was so guilty that he told me what happened first thing next day.

"He didn't fancy her, he'd had loads to drink and she took advantage of it."

Although the two girls didn't meet for a month, the next time they did there were fireworks.

Fiona said: "She was a dancer on stage at Fuzzy's club and I was just walking through the crowd when I bumped into her face to face.

Without warning or saying a word Sam hurled a full drink into the Fiona's face.

Fiona said: "I was horrified. I don't know if she thought I was going to attack her but there was no reason for it. I knew Jon wasn't interested in her, but she just went mad. And because she was working at the club she got us kicked out."

Although her relationship with Jon has ended she said he was as horrified as her by the way Sam behaved and never wanted to speak about her again.

Fiona said: "Sam's an evil cow. I can assure you there will be so many hate stories about her. She's a joke. Her antics are common knowledge. There is so much s*** on her."

Fiona was downhearted when she discovered her rival was in the latest BB. She said: "Before she entered the house, there were rumours circulating that she was going in. The local pub was buzzing with it and a friend called to tell me. My heart sank."

Fiona added: "She's a disgrace. I do not want to look like a victim. I just want people to know the truth about her. She deserves everything she gets.

"My ex-boyfriend is distraught we have split. He will be even more distraught now. It was only one thing with him and Sam but it split us up. What I see of her is not good and my friends say the same.

"Sam's a bitch. I will be watching the show spitting at the TV."

The guys in the house are already getting cosy with Sam.

But last night housemate Craig snarled: "They are like flies round s**t. She sits there giving it large like she's a model."

When we spoke to Jon last night he said: "I don't speak to the Press."

GIVE THEM ALL LOADED GUNS
SundayMail

ONE-TIME Big Brother star Alex Sibley, says he won't be tuning into BB6 - unless it turns into a bloodbath.

The 26-year-old model, who was in BB3 back in 2002, believes the programme has served its purpose and makes for boring television.

He said: 'Everything short of on-screen murder has been done on Big Brother.

'The only thing left to do is to give the housemates loaded guns and let them fight it out

Strange but true
By SUN ONLINE REPORTER

THEY say opposites attract - and it certainly seems to be the case when it comes to Mary and Maxwell.

The housemates enjoyed a flirt after Big Brother revealed the task for Sunday afternoon.

Upon hearing what lay in store, Maxwell asked the white witch to pull some strings with the spirit world to ensure success.

Referring to one of Mary's enchanted stones, the Londoner said: "If your stone is working you've got nothing to worry about."

Mary, who claims to have been abducted by aliens seven times, replied: "My stone is working baby. You just haven't felt it yet."

She then suggested a group bonding session might secure victory.

The 30-year-old said: "We hold hands, we connect, we tune into whatever energy comes into the room."

Derek does the dishes
By SUN ONLINE REPORTER

MORNINGS appear to be having a strange effect on Big Brother housemate Derek.

The early bird began Sunday by giving a long lecture on the benefit of rules and discipline in the kitchen - to HIMSELF.

Derek, 40, has quickly shown he believes rules are the only way to ensure the house remains a happy one.

The Tory, who is mentioned in ex-Prime Minister John Major's autobiography, made his amazing rant as he got stuck into a pile of washing up.

He said: "We're going to have a meeting.

"We're going to iron out one or two issues about practicality, about living in a house together."

And with only himself for company, Derek reminded anyone up early enough to be watching that "a real man is one who does the dishes".

He added: "You need rules to keep cohesion. As Michael Howard would say, rules are there for the benefit of everybody."

Derek has also asked for a nightly weather report from Big Brother.

Apparently the forecast will help him decide whether to wear long or short trousers each morning, which could save valuable rule-making time.

Big Brother has so far declined to comment on the request - and it really is no wonder.
