STOP PRESS Group Meeting confronts Nick 

Nick Evicted !

[FrontPage Save Results Component]

 

What do you think ?

Name

 

I saw it all go black ! - CAMS GO OUT!  

'I feel like knocking him out !' - Chats - Shouting - Then it all went Dark - the cams were cut and there was no feed ...

Early this evening Craig got the Reiki session from Nick 

Sometime shortly after Midnight .... Craig and Thomas are in the bedroom talking and Thomas mentions how Nick can be a bit um .. well shifty (not Thomas words) and two-faced..Obviously as we all know Craig has NO idea about Nick and is completely astounded by Thomas chat.

Anyhow, the penny must have dropped with Craig now because he says 'I feel like going in there and knocking him out' (or words to that effect).

Lots of sweary words followed describing Nick. 

(something like *ucking nutter - which is funny cos thats what Nick heard someone shouting over the fence earlier in the week)

Someone then tells Mel that Craig needs to talk to her. They discuss the fact the Nick has been trying to influence voting and Mel says that Nick showed her a piece of paper earlier in the week with peoples names on. (perhaps in his secret code ;). Mel then popped into the Diary Room.

Craig goes into the boys bedroom with Anna, and asks her if she has seen the piece of paper. She says not. Craig mentions the way Nick has been heavily trying to influence his thinking about voting and Anna is shocked, because as we all know, he's done exactly the same thing with her ! She gets a bit annoyed.

She express her disgust at Nicks behaviour and says that they should get Big Brother to sort it out.

They plan to tackle Nick at Thursdays meeting.

Craig goes into Diary Room, then he talks to Darren.

Darren goes into the boys bedroom and finds several pieces of paper with names on - in Nicks Bag !

- Jules

- THEN THE CAMS WENT OUT -

They came back on much later. 

Several thousand espressos later ...

Read what happened after he left.

NICK IS PACKING .. NICK IS PACKING .. Nick goes into Diary Room.... Nick is Going .. Nick doesnt wanna go .. Nikki will walk if he doesnt. Craig will cause stink if Craig walks and Nick stays.

What Happened Weds Night - It all Kicks Off

17:00PM Thursday

IT LEAVETH THE HOUSE.

Nick evicted for cheating ! About bloody time !

Credit : Big Brother is a Bazal production for Channel 4.

Nick has been disqualified, and the final evidence that led to his eviction, at 5pm on Thursday, was revealed for the entire house to see during a meeting at midday.

It was called in the early hours of the morning after Craig, Darren and Tom compared Nick stories. The penny dropped - Nicholarse had been lying to them and manipulating them all along.

After weeks of strategic planning he was asked to account for his tactics. Craig cut to the quick. In a tone of utmost diplomacy, he said, "I've got a very important thing I want to bring up, I think everyone should be aware of, and it's everyone's concern. Basically, I'm sorry I've got to say it Nick but I'm very disappointed in you."

He calmly continued: "I'm positive and I've got evidence that you're plotting a very dirty plan on every body in here to vote against each other to divert from you."

Initially confident Nick responded: "I think that's absurd Craig."

But Craig was not to be swayed as he started to present his case for the prosecution. "There's a number of people sitting around this table who have come to me," he began, "and basically said that you have shown them a piece of paper with various names on it on a number of occasions."

Craig felt like he'd been stabbed in the back, especially considering that Nick had suggested hooking up with Craig after the show to visit Tom in Ireland. "What disappoints me the most, Nick, is how can you be so two-faced," he said.

Wounded Craig asked, "Please explain to me, what's your game? What are you playing at, what's you motive?"

Visibly squirming, Nick evaded the question and denied the accusations. He also, rather lamely, suggested that everyone has been guilty of tactical voting. But the nail was hammered into the coffin of his defence when Mel and Tom backed up Craig's accusations.

Both admitted that Nick had also shown them names in an attempt to influence their nomination vote.

As temperatures rose everyone started to talk at once. It was Anna who took control of the situation by requesting: "One person at a time please."

By this time Nick knew his goose had been well and truly cooked and admitted that he passed the notes around. Anna then took the probing one step further.

"So have you given these names before nominations or after nomination?" she asked.

"Well erm, before," he stuttered.

"Why? Why did you show the names?" she persisted.

"It was just a vision, " he said simply. But as he continued Anna cut him off asking, "Why did you chose the people that you chose?"

Nick replied, "Some people may take it the wrong way and some people may take it the right way."

Mel moved the subject on to Nick's 'vision'. "It seems to me that it's not really a vision because you're showing different people different names," she suggested. Nick vehemently disagreed protesting he'd always used the same names.

Just for confirmation, Darren asked, "So you show the same two names?"

"Yeah," Nick said.

The house remained unconvinced and what started as a businesslike meeting started to become more gut-led and knee jerk. "I find it fucking disappointing," Tom said.

"I find it very disturbing," Anna added.

Feeling he'd been taken for a sucker, Craig had no problem mincing his words when he told Nick, "I feel a cunt, in all honesty."

Darren described Nick's actions as "fucking sick."

Sure that his name was on one of the scraps of paper Craig asked, "Will you go and get the pieces of paper?"

"No I'll not do that," Nick insisted with a shrug. "I'll pack my suitcase, simple as that."

Darren finally said, "I'm going to get the names now." He walked to the boys' bedroom and returned with Nick's suitcase. The scraps of paper were found and the damning evidence was conclusive. Darren found three pieces of paper, each had two names written on them.

They were: Caroline and Mel, Caroline and Nicky, and Craig and Nicky.

At this point Mel had seen enough, "we can stop now," she said.

Nichola agreed adding: "Leave it to Big Brother to sort out."

 

Channel 4 and the producers of the hit gameshow, Big Brother, have today disqualified Nicholas Bateman from any further participation in the programme.

Nick was evicted at 5pm today for persistent infringement of the Big Brother rules, after it came to light that he had yet again been attempting to manipulate the show’s nomination process.

He was discovered to have been writing notes and showing them to fellow contestants in an attempt to influence their voting intentions. The rules of Big Brother expressly forbid contestants from talking about nominations and tactical voting.

The decision was taken after a day of high-drama in the Big Brother house, when his fellow contestants confronted Nick about his attempts to influence the votes of others.

Nick’s double-dealing finally came to light during a discussion in the early hours of this morning between the housemates. His colleagues subsequently searched Nick’s belongings and discovered the notes with which Nick had been attempting to sway his companions voting intentions.

Having earlier issued both a verbal and a written warning to Nick and all other contestants making it clear that they faced eviction if they continued to contravene the rules against vote- rigging, it was decided that Nick’s continued presence in the house was no longer tenable.

More news to follow in a couple of hours...

 

 

Where Did He Go Wrong?

Weighed In The Balance and Found Wanting

Until Wednesday night Nicolas Bateman was the most popular person in the Big Brother house. As the only person to have escaped a single nomination vote he was sitting pretty.

The British public may have been baying for his blood but it looked increasingly likely that he'd escape eviction and survive until the last week.

In five weeks the population has seen him lie, manipulate, cajole and con his way into their affections. There is no doubt that he was playing a dangerous game but it worked, for a while at least. How the tables have turned. His house mates are now wise to his conniving ways and his tactics have blown up in his face. But how did he manage to hold the wool over the eyes of the other members for so long?

  • He was consistent with different people
  • He was aware of who people think they are
  • He had conversations one-to-one
  • He won people's trust

Dr Linda Papadopoulos, counselling psychologist, had a few theories on how Nick managed to escape detection for so long:

"He tried to find out where people were coming from and then build on that. People love talking about themselves. It's a control thing. The more you let someone talk about themselves the more you know about them."

The consequence of this strategy, for Dr Linda, is that:

"He realised who everyone wanted to be and he allowed them to be just that person when he was with them. He played them."

To back-up her theory she pointed out Nick's confession to Mel that he'd lied about he's secret wife dying in Australia:

"It was as if was saying 'you know what, I'm telling you this because you're smart', she likes to see herself as smart, so he let her in on it and verified her opinion of herself. He also played an important mind game. He was almost saying 'you can trust me. Once I tell a lie I've got to tell someone I've told a lie and it's you that I've told because you're smart and I trust you.'"

He also conducted his conversations in intimate surroundings. In a group it is much easier to show yourself up, she said.

Another reason for Nick's temporary success was that, unlike the other house members, he was consistent:

"Nichola, who probably has a much better heart than him, is inconsistent."

Alluding to Nichola's tearful altercation with Darren last Friday, Dr Linda continued:

"She screamed at Darren but she really likes him. He never did that kind of thing. He was much more in control of what he did. This consistency made people see him as reliable and dependable - someone who wouldn't change. Everyone else is variable. He was their constant."

It is important to remember that there was always a major flaw to Nick's scheming. Ultimately it is you, the viewing and voting, public who decide who wins the £70,000 prize money. It may once have looked like Nick would make it to the last three. But it was doubtful that he'd ever win over the nation's heart. Now he won't get the chance.
