Kenzie Watch: Day 7
It was the first chance for the housemates to nominate each other for eviction today, and with little surprise they all pretty much unanimously went for John and Jackie as the two people they'd least like to spend their remaining time in the house with. Kenzie didn't deviate from this pattern, selecting John for his sexist attitudes - "You've gotta have respect for wimmin" - and Jackie, who later on called him a little boy when she was attempting to get someone to go to the diary room and ask about her wine, due to her mistaken belief that everyone in the house is employed to tend to her every whim and desire - "I don't walk around thinking I need to be served". He managed, along with Brigitte, to escape any nominations himself, though Jeremy did receive a nomination from Jackie, as far as we could ascertain anyway, given that she hasn't actually bothered to learn anyone's name, describing him as reminding her of a "Beverly Hills gigalo". We're making no comment, although once the nominations were finished we were treated to a brief glimpse of what life might be like in the domesticated Kenzie/Jeremy household as it was revealed that the two of them do the washing up together. Awww.
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.
In the evening Big Brother treated the housemates to an Eat, Drink and Be Merry task, where each celebrity had to pick a partner and then go into the diary room where they would be asked a question. If they got it right, both would be allowed to drink an alcoholic shot, if they got it wrong, however, their partner would have to eat or drink something suitably manky. Kenzie teamed up with Brigitte, who got her question wrong, leaving Kenzie to drink a shot of saltwater, which he downed without a second thought, showing that he's not exactly averse to the concept of swallowing an unpleasant salty substance.
