So, Nathan was evicted on Friday and three new housemates arrived in a spaceship in the garden.  It could only be Big Brother.  Jonathan, Keeley & Rachel joined the Borehamwood nine late Friday night.  The house was taken over by Big Brobot for a futuristic shopping task and the week ended with the arrival of the three newbies dressed as spacemen (and women).

The simmering relationship between Josie and John James came to the boil at the weekend and they had one almighty bust-up.  And, what was at the centre of the seismic row?  Two insults flipped between the two: ‘crab eyes’ and ’28 chins’.  The fallout sent reverberations around the house – eventually Big Brother stepped in to calm them down once John James threatened to leave the house on Sunday.

Evicted Nathan was the most talked about boy and Josie was the most talked about girl.  John James was once again the leading topic – and he was also the most tweeted housemate.  Over the week, ThisisDavina, with almost 300,000 followers, was the most influential Twitter account by miles.

Back to the nominations, Caoimhe, Ife and Corin were nominated by the house.   Caoimhe once again saved herself in a paintballing task and put Mario up instead.

Ife is the bookie’s favourite to go and after a quick look at the sentiment analysis for the nominated housemates we’re in agreement again this week.   But it is really close in terms of negative sentiment between Corin and Ife and Corin could go.

Josie is still the bookie’s favourite to win at 11/4.  But John James (5/1) and newbie Jonathan (6/1) are also in the running.
