Kenzie Watch: Day 14 

The housemates where in a suspicious mood today, believing that Big Brother had something sneaky hidden up it's sleeve. They were quite correct, as we all discovered later, but in a bid to convince them that everything was normal and above board, they all found themselves nominating once again, even though these would have absolutely no effect on the outcome of the eviction. Kenzie voted for Bez and Brigitte, although they decided not to let us see his reasons, while he himself got a nomination from Lisa who, rather confusingly, voted for him as she didn't want him to go out, reasoning that no-one else would nominate him and, if they did and he was up for the public vote, she reckoned that we'd all back him.

The housemate's task for the day was one which Big Brother seems to fall back on every time they run out of ideas and was that of the children's party. To add to the fun, and we use that word in it's loosest possible sense, the celebrities, and we're using that word in it's loosest possible sense as well, all had to dress up as nursery rhyme characters, Kenzie, having failed to be quick enough of the mark when the costumes were unveiled, ended up being left with the excruciating (arf!) Humpty Dumpty costume, much to his displeasure. He was even less enamored when Lisa, who was dressed as Little Bo Peep, began moaning that she had the worst costume and began to crack up (arf!) stating that he was "not just an egg, but a really big egg!", quite how he felt it would be possible for a human being to dress up as normal-sized egg wasn't made clear, but if he was so convinced that Lisa had the better deal, he should really have offered to swap with her. Jeremy chose the Cat and the Fiddle costume. Presumably so that Kenzie could legitimately say he was after pussy in the house.

As well as having to experience "national humiliation" - although it's a bit late to worry about that now, we've seen the Crossroads video - Kenzie also had to join the other housemates in a variety of party games. While his chess skills may leave a little to be desired, his ability to find a target while blindfolded is beyond compare, easily winning the game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey. As a reward for his abilities, Big Brother awarded him with a prize of silk sheets. He wasn't the only one to be treated by Big Brother, as later Jeremy found himself winning back his Lucky Pants, confiscated at the very start of the series, in a game of Pass the Parcel. With Kenzie getting his sheets, and Jeremy his pants, it's probably safe to say that as well as getting lucky that afternoon, they would both be getting lucky in the bedroom later on that night.

The final game for the housemates was a round of Hide and Seek, although the point of this was less to see their camouflage skills and more as a way of disguising Lisa's surprise eviction. As she went into the Diary Room to discover her fate, the housemates all dashed off to find somewhere to hide within the limited confines of the house. Quite foolishly given the nature of his costume Kenzie first attempted to hide under the bed. Even more optimistically he then attempted to hide in a drawer, perhaps believing himself to now be the same size as an actual egg. With both those ideas failing, he eventually settled for hiding under a sheet in the hot tub area. Given the thickness of his costume and the outside heating in that area, this probably wasn't the wisest idea that he had, unless he quite liked the idea of one of his fellow housemates seeing him all hot and sweaty. Hmmm.

After 12 minutes the housemates eventually twigged that something was up and came out of their hiding places to investigate. Big Brother revealed to them that Lisa was the 3rd person to be evicted from the house and they all seemed somewhat taken aback by this. Kenzie and Jeremy did seem somewhat shaken, and they both retired to the bedroom to have a private chat about it. They weren't that shaken by it, however, as talk soon turned to what sort of reception they would get upon leaving the house. Jeremy shook his head sorrowfully as he thought about what would happen to Kenzie, "You'll get teenage girls coming running up to you". Kenzie was equally unimpressed with this though. "It's annoying". We can only attempt to sympathise, it must be quite frustrating to be constantly chased by those who you have no sexual interest in whatsoever.

As others retired to the bedroom, shattering the private moment between Kenzie and Jeremy, the conversation eventually turned to sex and Caprice asked Kenzie what the longest period he'd ever been without it for. Kenzie replied that the last time he had sex was "Thursday morning". A quite shocking revelation, we think you'll agree. He was quick to imply, however, that by Thursday morning he meant the day they all went into the house, however, we've checked our archive and on Day 7, the day in question, we stated the following "We missed a few minutes of the highlight programme when Channel 4 decided to have some technical difficulties going into the second last part of the show. It's quite possible that we did miss Jeremy and Kenzie consummating their relationship, though we can never be quite sure. Certainly when we did return to the show the two of them, along with Bez, were quite defensively reasserting their heterosexuality by sitting in the hot-tub area watching Caprice in the shower and making a big song and dance about it, almost as if they were desperate to make sure that the watching public knew that they were definitely into girls and that the house was in no way a hot bed of homosexual happenings.". If it wasn't for the fact that our case had become solidly welded to the floor of facts some time ago, we'd certainly be resting it right now.

If you want to convince Kenzie that dressing up as Humpty Dumpty is the sort of thing he should be doing on a regular basis, then vote for him to win by phoning 09011 32 33 07 or texting VOTE KENZIE to 84444.
