Kenzie Watch: Day 11
It's official! Kenzie and Jeremy are definitely an item! Kinda. Well, what it is was that Bez was in the diary room and, on being asked about why he thought he might have been nominated said "Kenzie and Jez are together", he may well have simply meaning in a friendship kinda way but, seeing as there wasn't exactly much Kenzie action of note today we're scrambling for any crumbs we can get.
The day started with the housemates being awoken at 7AM to start the Big Brother Rejuvenation Retreat task, whereby they would be forced to undergo a regime designed to enhance their inner health and sort out their karma, dharma and quite possibly their llama's as well. The group, however, didn't exactly prove to be adept at the concept of internal cleansing, managing to fail the within four hours of starting it. To be honest things didn't bode hugely well for them when Jeremy was reading out the task rules of this attempt to bring spiritual harmony and togetherness to the house and John and Lisa decided to have a blazing row, so their inability to make themselves pure of mind and body wasn't a huge surprise.
As part of the task they also had to dress up in robes and go under a new name for the duration. This phased some of the housemates, being unused to coming up with silly names for themselves, but for Kenzie it was a blast, coming from a group who consider names such as "Strider", "Melo-D" and "Reepa" to be acceptable monikers. He plumped for the name "Laughing Junior", which is only marginally less stupid than the other Squad nicknames.
To help them achieve celestial peace, or whatever nonsense this task was supposed to be about, the housemates found themselves invited into the hidden room, as discovered by Caprice earlier in the week, to divulge their inner thoughts. So it was that Jeremy entered first, before Kenzie went behind him, straight up the secret tunnel. They were asked various questions, but it seems that Kenzie is somewhat lacking in inner thoughts as we only got to see him respond to one question, which was whether it was better to love or to be loved. Kenzie replied that he was "confused". We're saying nothing. We're also saying nothing about the fact that when answering the questions the housemates had to wear the "hat of truth", and for "hat of truth" read "big pinky/purpley helmet". You can make your own jokes for that one.
As we head into the final stages of the contest, you can now vote for which housemate you'd like to win. If you'd like to cast a vote for Kenzie - and we can think of many reasons why you might not, most notably the fact that it'll cost you 50p a go - then you can either phone 09011 32 33 07 or text VOTE KENZIE to 84444. 25p from each call goes to charity, which still leaves behind a nice little profit for Channel 4 and Endemol productions.
