Kenzie Watch: Day 10
There's no rest for the wicked and it seems that there's even less rest for the slightly famous as, no sooner was Jackie evicted from the house, they all found themselves nominating for the second time. Despite his success at avoiding the slings and arrows of his fellow housemates last time, Kenzie found himself on the receiving end of one nomination, it came from Bez and was down to the fact that the freaky dancer reckons that Kenzie is "a really cool kid" and likely to be popular on the outside, so Bez wants rid of him as he doesn't fancy the competition. He was the only one to be thinking so tactically though, as everyone else once again sang from the same hymn sheet and the majority of them voted for Bez and John as the people they least wanted to spend any time with. Kenzie was no different, picking John because his massive sulk over his fizzy juice "brought down the vibe a bit" and Bez because he didn't like the way that he stuck up for Jackie when everyone else realised what an obnoxious cow she was. As the nominations finished Jeremy began talking about a dream he had had the previous night which involved him wearing "proper girls lipstick" - as opposed to the boys kind presumably - but he failed to tell us about what, or rather who, else featured in this subconscious story that we suspect may well have necessitated a change of sheets upon waking.
Their task this evening involved getting made up as hideous monsters - John and Lisa finished this part of it much quicker than the others - and controlling a ghost-train while blindfolded, based on instructions shouted out by other members of the group. Jeremy was quick to take control here and shouted out firm commands to each participant on exactly what they should do with their joystick to get the best performance out of it. All was going well for the group and they seemed on course to complete the task, up until the exact point where John sat down on the train and promptly broke the bloody thing. As a result of this Big Brother took pity on them and declared that they'd passed the task anyway, and sent them off to the bedrooms while their reward was prepared.
For successfully completing/breaking the task, the housemates were treated to an Austrian themed bier keller party, which had Kenzie and Jeremy practically weeping with joy when they realised that a beer tap had been installed in the garden, though this reaction probably paled in comparison to that in various households around the country when they realised that Yes, they were all going to be getting dressed up in Lederhosen. Kenzie himself was also quite excited about it, exclaiming "Oh, I'm loving that!" on discovering the costumes, and couldn't wait to get into his new outfit. Despite his enthusiasm for leather shorts, he failed to show an equal keenness for the more traditional forms of teutonic dancing, resisting the temptation to get up with Jeremy when the music played, meaning we missed out on the opportunity to see the two of them slapping each others arses, as often happens at these gatherings. Perhaps they felt that they might get too carried away if they both got involved and would end up doing something they both regretted, which we're sure you'll agree is a far more likely explanation than Kenzie simply not wanting to look stupid on telly as, if that's the case, then he's already blown it, although if the former is the case then it's quite possible he's already blown it as well.
