Captain's Favorite

WORD COUNT: 1,694

PAIRING: John Price x NB!Oc

Part 1 | Part 2

The base barracks buzzed with the usual evening chatter as soldiers wound down from another grueling day of training. In the communal bathroom, steam rose from the row of sinks as lieutenants and sergeants cleaned up before evening chow.

Lieutenant Bee stood hunched over one of the mirrors, a box of bleach and developer spread across the counter like medical supplies. Their naturally black hair was sectioned off with clips, each strand carefully painted with the harsh chemicals. The acrid smell made their eyes water, but they gritted their teeth and continued working.

"You sure about this?" Sergeant Martinez asked from the next sink over, watching with barely concealed amusement. "That stuff's gonna fry your hair off."

"I know what I'm doing," Bee muttered, though the tremor in their voice suggested otherwise. They'd watched enough YouTube tutorials—how hard could it be?

The truth was, they had no idea what they were doing. But when Lieutenant John Price had mentioned offhandedly that he found blondes attractive during a conversation with some of the other lieutenants last week, something desperate and stupid had taken root in Bee's chest. They couldn't get the image out of their head—Price's eyes lighting up with interest, maybe even running his fingers along their freshly cut fade.

Not that they'd ever admit that. No, if anyone asked, this was about rebellion. About breaking the stupid grooming regulations just enough to get under Price's skin. About proving they weren't just another soldier following orders blindly.

Thirty minutes later, Bee rinsed out the bleach, heart hammering as they watched the water run from orange to clear. When they finally looked up at their reflection, their stomach dropped.

Their hair was... yellow. Not the platinum blonde they'd envisioned, but a brassy, uneven yellow that made them look sickly under the fluorescent lights. Chunks near their scalp had barely lifted at all, while the ends looked almost white. It was a disaster.

"Holy shit," Sergeant Riley whispered from behind them, having just walked in. Simon was one of the few people who bothered to check on them regularly, though he'd never admit it. "What did you do?"

"Shut up," Bee snapped, running their fingers through the damaged strands. Several pieces broke off in their hands. "It's... it's fine. I can fix this."

But they couldn't fix it. Three different box dyes later—each one darker than the last in a desperate attempt to cover the mess—Bee's hair had gone from yellow to an muddy orange-brown that somehow looked worse than the original bleach job. The different colors striped through their hair in uneven bands, and when they touched it, the coils felt brittle and fried, completely destroying the natural texture they'd spent years learning to care for.

"You look like a bumblebee," Corporal Jenkins said the next morning at breakfast, barely containing their laughter. "Yellow and brown stripes and all."

"Fuck off," Bee growled, but the nickname stuck. Within hours, half the base was calling them Bee, and by the end of the week, even the officers had picked it up.

The worst part? Price hadn't even noticed. At least, not until later.

Two weeks later, Bee stood in formation with their hair tucked under their regulation cap, the damage mostly hidden. Their scalp was still tender from all the chemical processing, and they'd had to cut off nearly two inches to get rid of the worst of the breakage.

"Today we're running tactical scenarios," Captain Morrison announced. "Price, you'll lead Red Team. Bee, you've got Blue Team. Standard capture-the-flag rules—first team to retrieve the opposing flag and return it to base wins."

Bee's pulse quickened. This was it—their chance to prove they were better than Mr. Perfect Price. They'd been watching him for weeks, studying his tactics, learning his patterns. He might have seniority, but Bee was smarter, faster, more creative.

"Don't look so confident," Price murmured as they passed each other heading to their respective starting positions. "Wouldn't want to embarrass yourself in front of the whole company."

"The only one getting embarrassed today is you," Bee shot back, their cheeks heating. Why did he always have to stand so close? They could smell his aftershave, something clean and masculine that made their stomach flutter annoyingly.

Price chuckled, low and warm. "We'll see about that, Lieutenant."

The whistle blew, and both teams scattered into the training woods. Bee had spent hours planning this—they'd send Martinez and Thompson as a distraction team to the east while they led Corporals Wade and Chen in a flanking maneuver from the west. It was textbook, but executed perfectly.

Except Price wasn't where they expected him to be.

"Blue Team, report," Bee whispered into their radio as they crept through the underbrush toward Red Team's base.

"Distraction team in position," Martinez responded. "No sign of Price's main force."

That should have been Bee's first warning. Price was many things, but predictable wasn't one of them.

They made it all the way to the flag—a bright red bandana tied to a tree branch in a small clearing—before they realized it was a trap. The moment Bee's fingers touched the fabric, Price's voice rumbled from directly behind them.

"Looking for something?"

Bee spun around, heart hammering, to find Price leaning against a tree not five feet away. His arms were crossed, and that infuriating smirk played at the corners of his mouth.

"How long have you been there?" Bee demanded, proud that their voice came out steady despite the adrenaline coursing through their veins.

"Long enough to watch you creep around like you're playing hide-and-seek," Price replied, pushing off from the tree. "Nice plan, by the way. Textbook flanking maneuver. Shame it was so obvious."

Heat flared in Bee's chest—part embarrassment, part anger, and something else they didn't want to examine too closely. "Just because you got lucky—"

"Lucky?" Price stepped closer, close enough that Bee had to tilt their head back to maintain eye contact. "I had my whole team in position before you even left your base. Ghost's already got your flag, by the way."

As if summoned by his words, Riley's voice crackled over both their radios: "Red Team wins." Even back then, Simon had that uncanny ability to appear and disappear like a ghost.

Bee's shoulders sagged in defeat, but before they could step away, Price reached out and tugged off their cap. Bee's ruined hair tumbled out, the uneven colors obvious in the dappled sunlight.

"So this is what all the fuss was about," Price said quietly, studying the uneven colors in the dappled sunlight. "The whole base has been talking about Lieutenant Bee's new look."

"Don't," Bee warned, trying to snatch their cap back. But Price held it just out of reach, his eyes still focused on their hair.

"You know," he said thoughtfully, "it does look like a bumblebee. Yellow and brown stripes." His eyes met theirs, something softer in his expression. "Though I bet you'd look good as a proper blonde. If you ever wanted to try again... maybe get it done professionally next time."

Bee's heart hammered at the compliment, heat rising to their cheeks. "Why'd you do it?" Price asked, his voice gentler now.

The honest answer—because I have a pathetic crush on you and thought you'd notice me—stuck in Bee's throat. Instead, they lifted their chin defiantly. "Because I felt like it. Problem with that, Lieutenant?"

Price's eyes searched their face, and for a moment, something shifted in his expression. Something warmer, more curious. "No," he said finally, handing back their cap. "No problem at all, Bee."

The way he said their new codename—soft, almost fond—made something flutter dangerously in Bee's chest.

"Alright, here's the deal," Price said a week later, cornering Bee after evening chow. "I'm tired of you skulking around, glaring at me every time I outperform you in training."

"I don't skulk," Bee protested, though they were definitely glaring right now.

"Right." Price's mouth twitched with suppressed amusement. "So here's what we're going to do. Tomorrow's combat assessment—whoever scores higher gets to assign the loser extra duties for a week."

Bee's eyes narrowed. "What kind of extra duties?"

"Oh, I don't know," Price said, his tone deceptively casual. "Cleaning my gear, organizing my footlocker, maybe doing my laundry..."

"You're on," Bee said immediately, their competitive streak overriding their common sense. "But when I win, you're doing my laundry for a month."

Price laughed, rich and warm. "Deal. But Bee?" He leaned in close enough that his breath tickled their ear. "I don't lose."

The shiver that ran down Bee's spine had nothing to do with the cool evening air.

The combat assessment was brutal—hand-to-hand combat, weapons proficiency, tactical problem-solving under pressure. Both lieutenants pushed themselves to their limits, each determined to come out on top.

Bee threw everything they had into each challenge, their movements sharp and precise. They were good—they knew they were good. But Price was better, and he made it look effortless.

When the scores were announced, Price had beaten them by exactly two points.

"Looks like you'll be doing my laundry after all," Price said as they walked back to the barracks, sweat still cooling on their skin.

"This isn't over," Bee muttered, but there was less venom in it than usual. Competing with Price was... exhilarating in a way they hadn't expected. He pushed them to be better, made them work harder than they ever had before.

"Good," Price replied, and when Bee glanced over at him, his expression was almost pleased. "I'd be disappointed if you gave up that easily."

That night, as Bee carefully folded Price's t-shirts in the laundry room, they tried to ignore how the fabric still smelled like him. Tried to ignore the way their pulse quickened when they imagined him wearing these shirts, the cotton stretched across his broad chest.

This was getting dangerous. But as they pressed their face briefly into one of his shirts—just for a second, just to see—Bee realized they were already too far gone to care.

The bets were just the beginning.

The real reason as to why I don’t think Neve Gallus is good enough for Sir Dellamorte…

… is that she is completely well adjusted and sane.

She has her shit together, completely. 

She is mature and intelligent and has experience under her belt.

He needs the opposite. 🤪

He needs someone who is immature, impulsive and unhinged as hell.

The kind of crazy to Leeroy Jenkins a level 50 and very blighted dragon, but hey fuck it, I got “Prevent Death” toggled on.

Lets fuckin’ goooooo….

He needs That Bitch that won’t look up a tutorial when stuck on a puzzle because she doesn’t wanna ask for help because she’s stubborn as fuck and will literally take an hour to solve it, but she’ll solve it because she can, dammit!

Lucanis needs someone who can match Spite’s level of weird.

He needs me.

It’s me, hi, I’m the solution, its me.

Everybody agrees.

I’ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror.

It must be exhausting to fall in love with the antihero.

Replaying Mass Effect 1's intro because I'm doing a technical analysis of how the original Jenkins/Chakwas dialogue is constructed for an example in a Branching Dialogue class, and damn Bioware is *so* efficient during this introduction, it's quite remarkable.

Not only does it introduce two whole NPCs, the immediate intrigue and offer up information about the world and dynamics of power within this world (okay it does veer towards "as you know, [stuff everybody knows about]" territory, but given the density of that world and the fact that it's optional information the player has to voluntarily seek, I think it's as fine as they could get away with honestly), but it introduces Shepard as a player-character and a concept pretty wonderfully too. It's a great tutorial for how the conversation system works, what is Renegade and Paragon behavior and how NPCs will react to that, how choices will be recorded and reacted to (aka: Jenkins reacting to your background, AND you're given a chance to personalize your Shepard's reaction to the public perception of your life events), and on top of that, your role as a commander.

I know Jenkins is a joke character, but he does a very efficient job as a tutorial for the way NPCs will look up to you, how you might influence them, and how you are responsible for them --foreshadowing more complicated moments later down the line with Wrex, Ash, Kaidan and even Garrus for example.

This dialogue takes between 1'30 to 4' tops if you explore every option, and it demands the player to engage actively with the system almost the entire time. The efficiency on display is seriously impressive. It's deceivingly simple-looking too, while actually hiding a non-negligeable number of little checks under the hood for what appears to be very straightforward conversation.

Anyway. Some long overdue Mass Effect Appreciation moment! The writers/system designers sure knew what they were doing here.

hiya! 2, 20, 29, 31, 43 for the oc asks c:

Hi Laya! Thank you! :3

Tis the ask game

2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs?

I am a good blorbo mom and I love all my OCs equally.

It's Aisling, she's relaxing and fun to write.

20. Do any of your OCs sing? If they sing, care to share more details (headcanon voice, what kind of songs they like etc)?

Alyra is a bard. She sings only drinking songs in pubs. She'll start the choir and have whole room join. Easy to spill secrets if you shared a shanty. Will not sing on command, if you ask her, she won't even speak. Won't sing under the shower or as pleasure, but she did sing lullabyes to baby Kieran and her own offspring eventually. She has a nice, low voice.

Raina is the one that loves singing the most, but unfortunately she's also tone deaf. If she strikes a note it was by pure chance and mistake, it won't happen again. She puts always a lot of passion into it, but she's terrible. Picture a younger Florence Forster Jenkins (TW for... Singing so horrible it's actually funny, I love FFJ unironically).

Aisling has a nice voice and likes to sing, will most often be found humming as she works, and even put words together to sing her own (whimsical, think "In the golden afternoon" from Alice in Wonderland) songs. She's extremely shy, tho, she sings in public only it it's a group song and she can involve other people in it. Ask her to sing solo in front of a person and she'll run in the opposite direction instead.

Niamh I think has a nice voice and is the one that will actually show off and seek proper singing lessons. In a modern AU, she'll apply to lyrical singing classes, and will be a nice soprano.

29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they’re going?

Garrett and Niamh, most definitely.

Garrett will say that "What's the worse that can happen, I'm used to demons and I can talk to them". Not in Kirkwall, because just as Lilian, Kirkwall usually means a shitton of demons he can't handle by himself, or bandits.

Niamh will go just to show that she can. Also it means there's a Spirit in distress and she can calm them down, so why shouldn't she help? That poor spirit must be so upsed, better go and fix it. *Aisling disapproves*

Priscilla would go if she gets paid for it, she doesn't believe in ghosts and after Hezenkoss? Eh, it's all downhill, can't get any spookier than that.

31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)

Mh, the two that would have a tumblr blog are Aisling and Priscilla, let's focus on the latter.

Priscilla would have an extremely curated blog. It's all in pinks and creams with a touch of turquoise, very very girly but elegant. A cursive elegant font uses sparsely for titles, neat links to her other profiles (she has an Instagram and is very active). As for the content: it's aesthetics, all in the same colour range (she loves pink!), a lot of fashion design and fashion photography, all high end and very classy. And the occasional original post showing the nails she did to her friends, some hairdo she has on or made people (Bellara is a favourite model, even if her face is rarely shown she's referred to as "the bestie💖"). Some selfie of her and the group here and there. Poetry and aforism and musics, all by women, resources on indie artists in the music and fashion field. And the occasional informative post against fast-fashion, capsule wardrobes, tutorials on sewing and embroidery and recognizing different types of fabrics.

She'll be very active, i think ahahah.

43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It’s time to confess

Mh, I try to go for "Stuff I'd like to explore or learn how to draw". Like: Radha has an undercut becuase I liked the idea of an androgynous character. I do like contrasts when creating a character, and I do design them thinking of the personality as well, and I colour-code them all.

Example: I wanted a warrior for Veilguard, I didn't have any and I decided to try. To add a little contrast and interest, I decided that Priscilla would have been very "girly" and pink, and definitely a high femme... Who can also shield bash you out of existence. I made her buff because she needs some muscle to support that big shield and armour, but chose the same hairstyle as Evka (before knowing Evka's designer had my same idea) to have some more girlyness in an otherwise full armour, I put her some make up and enhanced the pink with lipstick when the game didn't give me the option of changing the colour to the armours (buuuuh). She does change hairstyle at a certain point, it was fun.

(I have a lot of Priscilla feels, sorry ahahahahah)

I do tend to design finer traits, out of being very self-conscious about my own nose that's on the bigger side (I hated it as a teen. I'm growing fonder of it, but it's a work in progress). xD

Also: I love expressive people and drawing expressions, so I have quite a hard time in drawing aloof, more stoic characters.

... I can't think of anything else, you tell me ahahahahah

[doll-elvis]

What does Reeca Smith look like? I tried looking up photos but nothing seems to come up..

I got a few asks about Reeca Smith so I thought I would combine them here <3, thank you guys for the questions !!

As for the first ask: sorry some of these are aren’t the best quality 😩 but all these pictures of Reeca in 1974 were taken from the documentary “Elvis: Heartbreaker” also called “Elvis’ Women” or “Loving Elvis” depending on the country where you are streaming it

Reeca is on the right in this group photo

And this is Reeca pictured with the Trans Am that Elvis purchased for her ⬇️

If you’re in the North America and unable to watch the documentary, here is a tutorial that I posted awhile back, it still works and I use this method myself !! ⬇️

Second ask: As for any intimacy, this is all that Reeca has said on the subject ⬇️

Since she didn't mention kissing or any other form of intimacy in her most recent interview, I'm assuming it wasn't something that played a major role in their relationship. She has stated that Elvis and her would mostly just talk, and that he especially enjoyed just reading the Bible to her. I think Reeca’s dynamic with Elvis was exactly the same as girls like Heidi, Frances, Gloria and Arlene. All of those girls have only ever talked about Elvis in high regards, and I think that really does speak volumes

However, although these girls don’t see themselves as victims, and while I do truly believe that Elvis never took advantage of them, it still doesn’t justify the kissing. Like you said this is obviously a very hard pill to swallow for any Elvis fan but it personally helps me to try to understand Elvis’ intentions and his mindset when he involved himself with those girls. And so when they all say that it was very innocent, I believe them, and I can honestly say without a doubt, that I think Elvis had good/pure intentions and that the situation wasn’t as black and white as some people try to make it seem

As for the third ask: In terms of Reeca overstating her importance, that very well could be possible, but to give her the benefit of the doubt, Elvis invited a lot of people on tour 😩 and they weren’t always girls that he was dating, for example Jeanne Lemay Dumas who was Linda’s friend and the Alden sisters (Ginger’s family)

If she was invited by Elvis like she says, that doesn‘t mean that Reeca would have been his main girl or anything like that on the tour, it’s likely that he still would have had either Sheila or Linda with him as his girlfriend. Also Reeca was good friends with Ricky Stanley who accompanied Elvis on tours, so that could have been another factor

Infact the very first day that Reeca hanged out with Elvis, Linda, Ricky and David Stanley accompanied them. And in that amazon documentary Linda acknowledged Reeca and also referred to her as one of Elvis’ “dalliances”, so she was at least aware of Reeca’s friendship/relationship with Elvis

** also I saw you mentioned Elvis possibly dating Maggie Smith and I got another ask about her that I am currently researching for (desperately trying to find a copy of this book written about her 😩) and so hopefully I will have more info on her by then

quote from Maggie (Magnolia) Smith 💗

but just from the little research I have done so far, it’s looking like it’s unlikely that they ever dated. Maggie Smith herself hasn’t said that she dated him, Marty Lacker said she was someone Elvis felt sorry for and therefore given a job, and Nurse Tish and Mary Jenkins also only referred to her as one of the maids/employees. Only Nancy Rooks has said that she dated Elvis so I’m still trying to figure out who is telling the truth 😭 like why would Nancy just make that up?

As for Elvis possibly wanting to pursue a serious relationship with Reeca, I don’t think he meant to do so until she was much older

Reeca said this about Elvis wanting a possible future with her ➡️ “He said ‘I know you’re are young but when you’re older, maybe in a couple years, maybe we can go places and have more of a relationship’”

I don’t believe their relationship ever became “serious”, especially since Reeca has never said that they formally dated. He only saw her September and November of 1974, and then for the last time in January of 1975. He was probably preoccupied with Sheila Ryan, Linda Thompson and Ann Pennington etc etc 🤧

I hope this helps anyone who wanted to know more about Reeca, I would love to hear what you guys think, or if you have any info yourself on Reeca or Maggie that you want to share 💗!!

[zendyval]

Z had to prove herself as a dramatic actress since she was coming from Disney Channel and generally actors coming from children's entertainment are not taken seriously. So I understand if Z does a few more dramatic roles before accepting a comedy. There have been comedic elements to some of her dramatic performances, particularly her doing the dick pic tutorial on Euphoria or narrating the stylison fan fic in it or just doing the physical comedy of Rue repeatedly crashing on her bike while high. And she used her dance training to do the tennis scenes in Challengers or the fight choreo in Dune. She straight up danced in Euphoria S2 and Euphoria's choreographer won an Emmy for his choreo on the show. And she did aerial dancing in Greatest Showman. You don't have to do a Step Up movie to use your dance training

I didn't say I wanted her to do a Step Up movie, but I want to see her actually dance. I understand she used things she learned from dancing in these other films. There are other kinds of dance. One of the movies that has come up before is Barry Jenkins making an Alvin Ailey biopic and there have been conversations of how Z might be able to play Carmen De Lavallade.

Second, I don't think comedy needs to be seen as a lesser than and comedy does not even if have to mean a silly comedy, though it could be. Dark comedy is also a thing.

The interesting thing though from these convos is I find that people online are always saying Z has to prove herself or needs to be taken seriously more than the industry does. I think she's fine.

BB20: Friday 13 October

Live Eviction 1: Farida V Kerry

The biggest change so far to the ITV flavour of Big Brother is that no episode so far has ended with "who goes? you decide".

The housemates nominated on Thursday 12 October, meaninging the nominations aren't shown until eviction night. This feels so strange!

The housemates facing eviction were revealed in companion show Big Brother: Late & Live. I will not be watching that show, no matter how often my mother asks me to.

Nominations are my favourite part of the show, so I'm not going to talk about who's up for eviction yet. I'm going to live in the moment, and enjoy the unfolding story.

OH! One nomination each!! That's new. It's always been two each, hasn't it?

Channelle nominates Kerry, for being blunt and rude towards Farida.

Non-alphabetical order to nominate too. I don't approve. My charts will be alphabetical for certain.

Hallie nominates Farida because she talks over people, and hasn't put in the effort to get to know others.

This really highlights the difference between what's broadcast and the vibe in the house. Footage really makes it look like Farida's bonded nicely with Hallie. But then, the main occasion where we saw Farida ask Hallie questions, it was "is it gay for men to fancy trans women" innit. Not ideal.

Henry nominates Farida because, when Zak asked Henry what boarding school was like, Farida interrupted to explain boarding schools (incorrectly, to Henry's experience).

Matty nominates Kerry because her loud voice goes through him, and also because she moaned about her meal. "It annoys me when people aren't grateful" - here, grateful to Big Brother!

Trish nominates Paul! She doesn't find him deep.

Horrifying thought - these housemates ARE in alphabetical order. Are we skipping housemates?? We've skipped Dylan, Farida, Jenkin, Jordan, Kerry, Noky, Olivia, Paul and Tom so far. Yinrun and Zak left to go too. Am I missing some Nominations Uncut show or something? Dear dear. How very disturbing.

Okay, Marcus Bentley claims only five nominations have been cast so far. Maybe it is just a weird order.

Zak nominates Henry! For not speaking to everyone in the house, and for giving up immediately in the staying-in-bed task. Teamwork, and a positive attitude to tasks, are really important to Zak.

Yinrun becomes the first housemate to nominate out of alphabetical order. This is a relief to me, since it suggests we WILL see everyone's nominations. As if Yinrun didn't already bring me enough joy.

Yinrun nominates Kerry, because she's hurt by Kerry seeming uninterested in her.

Hallie powerfully representing the trans experience of talking with great pride about the vagina and breasts she'll have in the future. I love her.

Jordan nominates Paul because of his bodily fluid-based humour.

"I know they have this phrase, Big Brother, 'gives me the ick'. And that phrase itself gives me the ick."

Dylan nominates Farida, since she still doesn't know people's names after nearly a week. She gets his, Kerry's and Chanelle's names wrong.

Paul nominates Farida for being inconsistent in her aims from the show! Does she want to spread the word of Islam, or does she want other outcomes [presumably promoting her makeup tutorial YouTube]? Paul is here to "have a good time" and "be meself", and nominates Farida for being "fake".

How consciously is Paul casting himself as foundational winner Craig from BB1 here? Ever since that first series, Big Brother has struggled to move past the idea that good winners are direct, consistent salt-of-the-earth types, and villains are inconsistent and manipulative.

This bothers me, since I don't think directness IS a fundamental moral good at all times. I think it's FINE to have a moan about someone, while still being able to be friendly to the person in question. Where is the line between being two-faced and being tactful?

Olivia nominates Farida for helping herself to Olivia's salmon.

Noky nominates Kerry for negativity, both to people's faces and behind their backs.

Tom nominates Farida for talking AT him rather than conversing WITH him. He feels spoken over because of his age.

Jordan talks to Trish about sex and emotional connection, and I WISH we had a longer, less edited version of this conversation. We've only been left with Jordan's punchlines. Which are very funny, but I'd love to know what point he was making.

Tom speaks to Chanelle and Jenkin when he returns from the diary room, claiming that the process is "'eavy".

Fariday nominates Kerry for gossiping and having tantrums.

Jenkin is wearing a shirt with a pattern of birds, because his mam likes birds.

Jenkin nominates Farida because he thinks she's only here for money and fame, and is therefore taking the place of someone who wants to enjoy themselves and learn about themselves.

Kerry nominates Farida, for being hard work, selfish, and hard to like.

Kerry goes to have a lil cry after nominating.

I suspect Farida will go tonight. Both she and Kerry have done stuff the pulblic would find annoying, but we've also seen loads of Kerry's vulnerability.

Voting is free this year. Maybe that's why ITV is less bothered about getting nominations out early. Or maybe it's so the housemates spend less time tortured by the knowledge they face eviction? Bet it's that one, actually.

Since this version of the show is a lot nicer, it's really striking how intense the lights and music are when nominations are announced. Noky shakes with adrenaline.

Jenkin expected to be nominated because of his snoring.

Farida reckons youngsters have turned turned against the older members of the house. A bit rich given she nominated Kerry herself.

Interesting seeing Farida and Kerry bond over facing eviction, given that they nominated each other.

Farida tells Olivia off for smirking. Olivia is offended, because "I wasn't laughing at YOU!" But ... yes she was. Olivia's surprised to be told off not because she wasn't smirking at Farida, but because she didn't intend for Farida to notice. She was just smirking across the room at Paul.

She complains about this later to Paul, Jordan and Henry. And she comes so close to noticing that Farida was right - but she can't move past, "I didn't deserve to be criticised".

Just noticed there's a non-binary person in the sponsorship ads. Marcus Bentley using the word "themself", woo!

Ahh, you can vote for free, but only 5 times each.

Kerry speaks to Olivia about the issue with Farida. Kerry's basically on Olivia's side here. Hallie's attention is drawn, and she comes over to agree with Olivia. They're joined by Trish and Chanelle (neither of whom actually nominated Fariday), and we have the largest-scale bitching session we've seen so far.

This isn't really about Olivia. This is an excuse to vent. Maybe the nomination results have given people permission to talk openly about being annoyed by Farida.

Yinrun teaches Hallie some Chinese. She's shocked by Hallie's excellent pronunciation.

"We've got it on our profile we've been in the Big Brother house", says Farida. This show is primarily about boosting the profiles of influencers.

Kerry tries having a bonding conversation with Farida, and it ends up being a bit of an argument. Farida says, "I'm still the same person I came in here as" - an identity statement.

But Kerry takes it as an implied criticism. That Farida's saying "I'm the same UNLIKE YOU KERRY". But Farida's doing nothing of the sort. She's just making a statement about herself.

This is a common problem in conversation. You're talking to a friend, your partner, and they say something about themselves. This causes you to say something about YOURself - and now it sounds like you're claiming they're the opposite.

"I'm terrible at making new friends at parties," they might say.

And this inspires you to reflect on your own experience in parties.

"I love parties," you say, as you think of parties you've attended. "I always go expecting to have a good time, and end up talking to random people in the kitchen."

"I'm not saying I don't expect to have a good time," they say defensively.

Because in context, it sounds like you offered your personal experience as advice. Not merely, "this is what I do, "but "this is what YOU should do."

Farida tells Zak she doesn't blame him for protecting his friends. The implication here is that Zak nominated her or Kerry because they're older. In fact, Zak nominated Henry.

In any case, Kerry disagrees with the idea that it's young vs old in the house. "Callie's my mate, and she's the youngest!"

Farida's annoyed that Kerry isn't hearing her. "You're like, 'Callies my friend, Callie's my friend'."

"Her name's Hallie, and she is my friend."

Just a bit of fun here. Farida gets people's names wrong all the time. That's a thing. But Kerry did accidentally call her Callie first. An honest mistake, of course.

Argh, Farida brings up stories from her day job, where parents just want to be their children's friends, forgetting that they're the child.

Kerry's offended here, and - well, she's right to be! I don't think Farida realises how offensive that is to say, but it's clear she DOES see 18-year-old Hallie as a child, and 40-year-old Kerry as a sad case that wants to be friends with her.

Kerry: She's just said to me that the reason you lot like me is because you think I'm your mum! I'm shaking. I'm angry.

Olivia: I don't think of you as my mum. You just tell me when I'm out of order.

Kerry: Which is often.

Kerry thinks she's fated to go because Farida has her social media followers.

"No, cause just because someone follows you on social media doesn't mean they actually like you," says Olivia. Horrifying thought.
