Day 66 - josie gets to final

Big brother has gathered the housemates on the sofas for tonight’s eviction. Davina announces that Jo is the eighth housemate to be evicted. “Told you”, she says. The housemates hug her as she says her goodbyes” This is where it starts Jo, have fun”, says Sam.

The housemates are still at the sofas as the plasma TV opposite switches on to reveal Davina. “The final of Big Brother 2010 is in 11 days” says Davina. “Big Brother is giving you the chance to give one housemate a ticket to that final”, she continues, adding that they have one minute to decide you this should be.

The clock starts and the housemates decide to use a voting system to choose the person. Josie gets the most votes. “Josie will be in there anyway”, says Corin. Sam tells that that although it’s almost guaranteed that Josie will be in the final they would all feel guilty if she wasn’t and they didn’t give her the place after she got the most votes.

The minute is up and Andrew announces that Josie will be given the ticket to the final. Davina then announces Ultimate Big Brother. “The winner of Big Brother 2010 will not only receive the £100,000 prize fund but they’ll also re enter the house to compete in Ultimate Big Brother”, she says. “Josie, see you in the final”, are Davina’s parting words. Josie thanks the housemates for the privilege they have given her, before Steve prompts a group hug now that the end is so near.

Josie has come to the Diary Room talking to Big Brother about the night’s events. “I’m a bit shocked at the moment”, she says. “Everyone picked me to be in the final”. She adds that it feels amazing and begins to cry. “I’m doing it for Bristol”, she says. “It was once voted the happiest place to line in 2008.

Some of the housemates are in the Bedroom. Josie speculates about how long she could last before having sex with John James, JJ says its probably three weeks at the most, she agrees and laughs.

John James is in the Diary Room. “I’m so happy that Josie’s in the final”, he says. He adds that it couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person and he is rooting for her to win the whole series.
