Big Brother UK 14: Week 9 Recap & Finale

Task: Do As Your Told
The normal Big Brother announcer comes over the loud speaker and announces what the housemates are doing, and they have to react and do what he says they are doing. First it was a dance party, next it was a very raucous food fight! Gina gets upset that the boys took it too far. Then Big Brother says that she tells the house that she wants to clean the mess herself (finally she gets a bad task).

Next, Sam and Jack are to hold hands and take a romantic stroll in the garden. How cute. Gina, Jack and Joe are told to go to the garden and discuss Gina's reaction to Hazel leaving. Dexter and Charlie are told to be alone in the treehouse. Charlie is supposed to tell Dexter how she truly feels about him and then he is supposed to tell her the same thing. Then Big Brother tells Charlie to kiss Dexter passionately, and then a second time!

Then it's time for a pillow fight! "Not my head", yells Gina!

Caribbean Party
They get to party with a reggae singer, while they make a Caribbean meal and then they have fun doing the limbo. There was sand for them, so it was like they were at the beach. Later that evening, the twins and Sam were trying to jump over the limbo bar...so funny!

Who Should Go To The Final?

Housemates have to say who should get a pass to the final by privately either saying themselves or another housemate. However, they have to all say the same person. They didn't agree, so no one gets a pass to the finals.

Face-to-Face Nominations
Charlie nominates Jack/Joe and Gina
Dexter nominates Jack/Joe and Sam
Gina nominates Jack/Joe and Charlie
Jack/Joe nominates Charlie and Dexter
Sam nominates Dexter and Sophie
Sophie nominates Sam and Dexter

Up For Eviction: Jack/Joe, Dexter, Charlie, Sam

Sam's Stand-Up Comedy Task: Sam's LOL-Fest
Sam can earn a reward, but he has to be as unfunny as possible. The less the housemates laugh, the better the reward. Oh my gosh, they played the Seinfeld theme music when he came in! He was doing a pretty good job with his bad jokes. The housemates laughed a little, but it was more a nervous laugh because they kind of felt bad for him. I thought he was still funny, just because of the way that he tells the jokes. His jokes were based on his time in the BB house. One of my favorites were: "We're all in the lime light...we're all a bit fruity". By the end the twins were really laughing. Big Brother told him that he was too funny. His reward was deducted because of that, and he was left with one cupcake.

Rescue the Shopping Task
The treehouse was turned into the Rescue Squad HQ. All of the housemates must do whatever it takes to save the shopping. Pairs will work shifts in he HQ and respond to emergencies. They all dressed up in superhero costumes.

Jack and Joe took the first shift. They got their binoculars out and began to survey the backyard. Town Hall catches on fire and they must save as much food as they can as the food is forced to fall out of the building. They have to catch it with a safety net. Magically, the fire just stops on its own.

Gina and Sam take shift #2. Lasers are attacking the shopping. The food is tied up in the sewer and will be destroyed by the lasers if they don't get to it in time. Somehow Sam and Gina are captured and tied up with tape. Finally, they break free, just in time for Sam to push the button to turn the laser off and save the shopping!

Sophie and Gina are on call when the Town Hall is on fire again. They didn't do as good of a job as Jack and Joe did, they dropped quite a few things. They had a tougher time because they were also being squirted with the fire hose.

Dexter and Charlie respond to a call about a bomb threat. They have to answer questions to reveal which wires to cut to defuse the bomb. With 4 seconds to spare, they cut all the right wires and saved the shopping!

As a treat, they get to read tweets from their fans.

Dexter and Charlie get a call about the Town Hall being on fire...again! Dexter kept getting squirted right in the face. Somehow Charlie wasn't getting it nearly as bad. I don't know that they caught anything.

At 4:38 AM Gina and Sam had to attend to a fire at Town Hall. Gina kept screaming about the cold water being blasted at her.

For the final part of the shopping task, Joe and Dexter get a call about the shopping being taken. All of the shopping was spread out on the road and it was about to be flattened by the steam roller. They need to keep the traffic light on red. If it turns green, he will go. In the sewer is where the lights are controlled. First they have to go through a maze of pipes to get to the controls. About half of the shopping was flattened before getting the light turned to red.

Surprise!
Everyone is thinking that it is a surprise eviction on Thursday because they are told to get ready and they hear the cheers from people outside. Big Brother tells the housemates that one person will be leaving. They are asked what is the lowest amount of money that they would be willing to leave the house for as a payoff. They choose an amount from the wall and put it in their brief case. One by one they have to choose from random amounts on the wall, not knowing what anyone else has chosen. They all tried to think what the others would choose, Sam and Charlie didn't want to leave, so they tried to be sure to pick the highest number so that someone would for sure be lower than them.

Sam chooses 100,000 pounds
Charlie chooses 99,000 pounds
Jack and Joe choose 96,850 pounds
Dexter chooses 88,800 pounds...and he looked very defeated even before he revealed his

Big Brother says Dexter won't be getting the money and won't be going home. Dexter was rewarded with immunity because he was the least greedy. He was then to choose between Sophie and Gina to replace him to face eviction. Dexter chooses Sophie.

Everyone questioned Dexter's motives and why he chose the way he did.

Gina is Big Brother's BFF
Again, Gina gets picked for a task. She is given an earpiece to listen to BB talking to her. She is told to tell someone who is looking shabby, how they could look better. She tells Sam he should wear fitted clothing and part his hair. Then she is told to make up a rumor. Gina says that she has had contact with people on the outside (because her and Charlie were speculating that someone had a phone and could talk to people on the outside). Then she is supposed to tell the other housemates who she would like to see go. Big Brother gets bored and tells Gina to stir up some trouble. She walks into the living room and starts a fight with Jack and Joe and says they have been speculating about her. She makes it look way too convincing and believable...maybe because she's doing it all the time!

Genies: Dexter & Genie
They will be granting wishes for the other housemates. Sam wishes for a sporting distraction, so they get a small soccer ball and a tiny net, and plays with Gina. Sophie wants a makeover, which Dexter gives to her. Charlie wishes for a relaxing massage, which Dexter happily gives to her. Jack and Joe wish for some musical entertainment. Dexter and Gina have to sing "Survivor"...oh my...so hilarious!

Evicted: Sophie!
I'm pretty shocked. I thought she was well-liked. I really expected it to be Jack and Joe or Charlie. But, judging by the boos Sophie got before the eviction, apparently the views of Sophie have changed in the past couple of weeks. They were even chanting "Get Sophie out, Get Sophie out!". And to think...she wasn't even nominated until Dexter chose her to replace him. The entire house was so shocked! They all expected that she didn't have a chance of going home. They revealed that there was only 2% difference between her and the next person. Back inside the house, they are all speculating that Sophie was actually the winner, and they just told everyone to boo her to throw them off.

The Final 5
The final 5 sit on a panel and they talk about their journey and why they think they deserve to win. They also ask each other questions. I really hate that Dexter wrote his speech out on a card and read it word for word. Everyone else just spoke from the heart. I still just don't know what to think about him...there's still something so shady and fake about him.

Next, they get questions from viewers, and celebrities, and finally evicted housemates! Dan, Callum, Hazel,

Final Dinner and Reflection
During their last dinner, they reflected on their time in the house and what they will do when they get out of the house. Big Brother also played voice mails from their families.

THE FINAL!
5th place: Charlie
4th place: Jack and Joe
3rd place: Gina
2nd place: Dexter
WINNER: SAM!!!!!

Woohoo! He did it!!! Thank you UK public for not picking Gina or Dexter to win! I'm so happy for Sam! I still can't believe that Dexter survived every single eviction. Who ever would have thought that anyone would be nominated every single week of the entire series, and make it all the way to the final. Incredible.

He was so cute as he waited in anticipation, and then as he found out he won! Here's some hilights. And you have to love Callum's love of Sam. Love it!
