Day 25 - Ganymede is Evicted

Ganymede is the runner up monster housemate in this year's Monster Big Brother.

And here he is. Nervously stepping out of the front door and waving his horns at the crowd. The crowd are cheering and clapping, although they're obviously saving some energy for their winner, who will walk out of that door in just a few minutes time.

Titan, Ganymede's large younger sister is jumping up and down in the crowd and causing quite a commotion as smaller monsters struggle to not be bounced on. Ganymede has seen her and is now smiling widely.

Ganymede will now speak with Duleea McChen and the interview will be available on the blog tomorrow.

Day 25 - Eviction #7 - Duleea Speaks to the House

The nervous monster housemates are waiting on the sofas. The tension is palpable and when they hear Duleea's voice, they all scream with excitement (even Ganymede).

"Monster Big Brother House, this is Duleea you are live on the blog, please do not swear!!"

"The poll has closed, the votes have been counted and verified and I can now reveal, the seventh monster to be evicted from the Monster Big Brother house is....

...Swannie!!"

Come to the front door Swannie it's time to leave"

"I'm going out there" says Swannie "wish me luck"

"You'll be fine" says Kelvin "I'll see you soon ok?"

Day 24 - Last Chance to Vote

Polls close at midnight tonight. The winner will be announced at 4pm (Pacific Time) on Friday July 3rd.

Who wins Monster Big Brother 2009? You Decide.

Day 24 - Kelvin in the Diary Room

Kelvin has had quite a range of experience in the Monster Big Brother house, he's calmed Marvin, protected Morris' secret, showed us his locking skills and found a special friend in Swannie. Monster Big Brother called him to the Diary Room to ask him a few questions.

MBB: Hello Kelvin
K: Hello Monster Big Brother
MBB: How are you feeling today Kelvin?
K: I feel great, I don't even care if I don't win tomorrow.
MBB: Is there anything you will miss about the Monster Big Brother house?
K: Getting to spend so much time with so many amazing monsters, especially Swannie and Ganymede. Although I'm sure I'll see them again.
MBB: And what are you looking forward to in the outside world when you leave the house tomorrow.
K: I need to get back to TheKitschEnd and find out how Morris is doing and I've really missed my Mum.
MBB: Thank you Kelvin
K: Thanks Monster Big Brother

Day 24 - Duleea Says Hi!

The monstrously charming Ms Duleea McChen visited the production offices this morning to talk about the Monster Big Brother Finale tomorrow. We asked her who she thinks will win Monster Big Brother:

"Well, first of all, I'm so excited about tomorrow and I think that whoever wins, it's going to be a great evening.

But, having said that my heart belongs to Kelvin. What a sweetie? His Mum is never going to believe he's up to no good again. Of course the bookies favourite is Ganymede and the international press are crazy about Hector. I think it's going to be a close race."

Don't forget to vote for your favourite housemates!

Day 23 - Two hours and Twenty Minutes?

After Hector got huffy and left the Group Hug task, Ganymede started to seem uncomfortable, and muttered things like "it's the decent thing to do" and "like a gooseberry".

He broke away from the hug, just as Terrence realised what was going on.

"Don't" said Terrence, but it was too late. "You have to be touching TWO other monsters at all times for the hug to be valid. So that's the end of the task."

Ganymede was very embarrassed "I'm so sorry, I completely forgot about that...I just...er..."

Swannie and Kelvin were still hugging. "Let's wait for conformation from Monster Big Brother" said Swannie.

Day 23 - Another One Bites the Dust (bunnies)

Kelvin thinks that the Group Hug task should be renamed the "Group Moan" task as ever since the monster housemates have been hugging, everyone has had something to moan about.

Hector's current complaint is that he keeps getting Ganymede's fluffy fur in his mouth. Ganymede's reply that he should perhaps keep his mouth shut, was not well received. Neither was Kelvin's request for them to be patient and relax, this just led Ganymede to call Kelvin a hippy. Swannie says she wants to sit down because her legs are aching.

And there goes Hector. "I have had enough of this nonsense" he says as he lets his arms drop and gives a big stretch.

So just Kelvin, Swannie and Ganymede left now.

Day 23 - Terrence is Out (of the task)

Terrence finally gave in and after apologising to his fellow monster housemates he broke away from the Group Hug task and ran to the bathroom.

Ganymede, Hector, Kelvin and Swannie have now been hugging for one hour and 38 minutes. How much longer can they last?

Day 23 - Group Hug is Go

The final five Monster Big Brother housemates are locked together in a big cuddly group hug, because this week's task is an attempt to break the record for the longest held group hug.

They've been hugging for an hour now, but the cracks are starting to show. Terrence needs to pee and Hector has a cramp, Ganymede is complaining because he doesn't have arms and hugging with his horns is too difficult. Only Swannie and Kelvin are still giggling about it.

Day 23 - Where's the Task At?

The monster housemates were all up early this morning to see what Monster Big Brother had delivered during the night.

Today is task day, but there was no special equipment in the house and as yet, there are no special instructions.

Kelvin was nervously making tea and toast when Monster Big Brother called all the housemates to the diary room.

Here's what Monster Big Brother said:

"Today, you will all take part in an attempt to break the world record for the longest ever group hug.

When you leave the Diary Room an alarm will sound, this will signal the beginning of the group hug, all housemates must be touching at least two other housemates at all times for the hug to be valid.

If a housemates breaks away from the hug they will be eliminated.

The last two housemates in the hug will receive a special prize for themselves. The reward for the other housemates will depend on the length of time spent hugging."

It looks like the final five are going to get very close.

Day 22 - Final Task Tomorrow

The final task is tomorrow. The monster housemates last chance to win some luxury items before they leave the Monster Big Brother house on Friday.

And it's a good one. Come back tomorrow to watch the task in progress.

Day 22 - Celebrity Monsters Pick Their Favourite Housemates

The last time we asked celebrity monsters for their opinions on the monster housemates, we had such a great response from our readers that we've had more celebrity monsters come forward to tell us their favourites:

Apparently Hector has an entire community behind him. We were sent this statement in a slightly damp envelope. "The Giant Squid Community feels that Hector represents a truly international monster and in an effort to promote the literature of Jules Verne we feel that he would be an excellent spokesmonster. Go Hector!"

An Uruk-Hai told us that he likes Kelvin, although we're not sure whether he meant as a housemate or as an entree.

Space Invaders came out of retirement to offer their support for Ganymede and to inform us that all our base are belong to them (!?)

And Godzilla took time out from his busy schedule to tell us that he likes Terrence; Godzilla likes disco music too.

We also had a telephone message from Hollywood, which sounded like this "Me under contract, so me not say name. But me love Swannie she like pink frosted cookie. Cookie! Nom nom nom"

Day 22 - Terrence in the Diary Room

Terrence has been a rocksteady monster housemate. He never seems to lose his cool or be mean to anyone. Monster Big Brother called him into the Diary Room to ask him a few question.

MBB: Good morning Terrence
T: Good morning Big Brother. What happened to yesterday's intruder?
MBB: The intruder has been dealt with.
T: Err, that's scary.
MBB: Terrence, on Friday you will return to the outside world. What have you missed the most during your time in the Monster Big Brother house?
T: Maisy. And everyone knows it. (laughs) Although I miss everyone else from SquareJane too. Like Jose, I wonder what he's been up to? He's such a joker.
MBB: Is there anything from the Monster Big Brother house that you think you will miss, Terrence?
T: Having a pool in the back garden is pretty cool.
MBB: Thank you Terrence.
T: Bye Monster Big Brother.

Day 21 - He Said What?

Earlier today the Monster Housemates were sunbathing in the garden when they heard a voice coming from over the garden wall. Swannie screamed, Kelvin ran to her side and everyone else shouted "shhhhh" as they strained their ears to hear what the voice was saying.

The whole incident lasted less than a minute, but it's given them plenty to talk about:

"He's definitely gone" said Terrence
"How did he get in?" Swannie asked "it's really scary"
Kelvin reassured her by saying "It's OK they've obviously taken him away"
"What was he saying?" asked Ganymede
Then Kelvin joined in"Yes what did you hear?"
"It sounded like Get Kelvin" said Terrence looking utterly shocked
"Or Hester Pryn" said Hector
"Why would anyone be shouting for 19th century American literary heroines?" asked Ganymede, rolling his eyes at Hector "Actually I think he was shouting for you. 'Hector to Win'"
"Zut Alors!" said Hector, so surprised that he momentarily reverted to his native language.
"and 'Morris is Good'" said Swannie, looking straight at Kelvin
"Are you sure that's what he said, I think it sounded more like 'Chorus of Hood'?"

Poor Kelvin, he just doesn't know that Morris' secret is out.

Day 21 - Intruder Alert!

We can now reveal that the technical difficulties experienced earlier in the Monster Big Brother house were the direct result of actions taken by an intruder who broke into the outer compound and production offices.

The intruder was a small monster who claims that he is a "Massive Fan of MBB!"

He has caused no lasting damage and he has now been escorted from the premises by Monster Security and cautioned by the Toy Police but he did shout some things over the garden wall and this gave the final five monster housemates something to think about.

What did he say? We'll have more details later today.

Technical Difficulties

Monster Big Brother is currently experiencing technical difficulties with the live feed from the house.

We will bring you more information about this disruption as soon as we can.

Day 21 - Swannie in the Diary Room

Swannie has been having a rough time over the last few days. Monster Big Brother called her to the Diary Room to ask her some questions.

MBB: Good morning Swannie, how do you feel today?
S: Good morning Monster Big Brother. I feel much better today thank you. I think getting a good night's sleep has really helped.
MBB: What helped you to sleep better last night, Swannie?
S: It's much quieter in here now that Marvin's gone. And there's a lot less snoring.
MBB: Is there anyone you're particularly looking forward to seeing when you leave the Monster Big Brother house on Friday.
S: Wow, that's so soon! The first person I want to see is my Mum and then everyone at Gush4Plush. Tootsie, Snurk, Chili, Peppa, Mello, Bartie, Bud oh and Pluggy. I miss you all. I can't wait to get the gang back together.
MBB: And is there anything you think you'll miss about the Monster Big Brother house Swannie?
S: I'll miss the parties, those are fun. I liked the karaoke party best. And Kelvin. Although I hope I'll see Kelvin again.
MBB: Thank you, Swannie
S: Thanks Monster Big Brother

Day 21 - Morris' Eviction Interview Part 2

After the shock of his exit from the house and the revleation that he is not a sock monster after all, Morris has taken some time to calm down before sitting down quietly with Duleea to discuss his time in the house.

DM: Welcome back Morris. Thank you for agreeing to a second interview.

M: That's my pleasure.

DM: Well you certainly seem like a different monster today to the one I watched in the house.

M: I am. There are certain rules to being a brownie and one of them is that my work must be kept secret.

DM: But Kelvin knew who you really were didn't he?

M: He's quite a sharp little lad our Kelvin. It didn't take him long to realise that there was something more to me than just being a grouch. Once he saw inside my shed he put two and two together. He's so quiet, I didn't even notice he'd popped into the garden to introduce himself.

DM: So he's known all the time the you have lived in TheKitschEnd?

M: Yes, all four years. I was worried that it might be a problem but he promised not to say anything and I trusted him. I don't blame him for slipping up in the house; he was just trying to defend me.

DM: So why were you so mean to him, and the others?

M: When you want to keep a secret it's easier to do it when people don't want to get to know you. That's why most magical socks are grumps.

DM: But you're not like that now are you?
M: No, alas the spell has been broken. Too many people know.
DM: So what happens next?
M: Well usually you just move onto the next town where no-one knows you but there's no precedent for something like this. I don't think there is anywhere I can go now.
DM: Well Morris, that begs the question, why go into the house in the first place?
M: I think deep down I wanted out. I've loved helping people but I don't like having to be so grumpy all the time. I suppose I secretly hoped that if I was found out I'd be free of that. I wouldn't have my magic anymore but I could still do good things for people in other ways. I know Kelvin didn't want me to come. I couldn't look at him when we were first in the house. He thinks my gift was something special to share but, after all these years, I think it's time for me to have friends and try living like a normal sock.
DM: Well thank you Morris. We're out of time for now but I'm sure the viewers would all agree when I say that you have been the most surprising housemate we've had. What a lovely sock.
M: Well thank you Duleea, it's been great.

Day 20 - Kelvin Tries to Make it Better

Kelvin has spent a lot of time with Swannie this afternoon. Our pink princess monster had quite a shock this morning when she realised that Hector was just not that into her. Poor Swannie came to the Diary Room straight after the incident and cried on Monster Big Brother's shoulder about how lonely she felt without Mabel and Madeline.

When Swannie finally emerged from the Diary Room after an hour of sobbing, she found Kelvin waiting for her with a pack of cards "Do you want to play snap?' he asked and Swannie agreed.

They've been talking about their friends and family and who they really want to see when they leave the house in five days time. And we think we just heard Swannie laugh. Good old Kelvin.

Day 20 - Swannie is Sad

Swannie has obviously been missing her friends Mabel and Madeline over the last 24 hours. She just hasn't seemed like her usual enthusiastic self.

But things went from bad to worse today when Hector said something to upset her. Hector and Terrence were talking about Terrence's special friend Maisy and Hector asked about how they met

"I am very interested in how you meet monster girls" said Hector "I haven't met anyone special in years, I must be looking in the wrong places."

Swannie was cleaning the kitchen, but she overheard the whole conversation and ran away crying. As she headed for the Diary Room Hector said "What's wrong with Swannie?" And this made her cry even harder.
