Ganymede was the penultimate monster to be evicted from the Monster Big Brother house. He spoke to Duleea McChen as soon as he left the house:
DM: Ladies and Gentlemonsters, it's Ganymede!
G: Hello, good afternoon everyone.
DM: Ganymede, it's great to see you, you're so fluffy in person! Do you think your housemates understood how fluffy you are?
G: Good question Duleea. The Monster Big Brother house is an alien environment for me, I'm usually quite a shy monster. My social skills are not great.
DM: You had a bit of a bad start
G: I did, I suppose I fell into a bad crowd with Morris. But being up early in the morning with Kelvin helped me to put some perspective on that.
DM: You must have done something right, you came so close to winning!
G: I know, it's very perplexing.
DM: What was going through your head just now when you and Hector were waiting to hear who had won Monster Big Brother?
G: Everything from the last 25 days, everything. It's an extraordinary amount of pressure.
DM: What was your favourite moment in the Monster Big Brother house?
G: When Marvin thought the house had been moved in to space. What a leap of imagination! There were so many great monsters, with so many great skills, it makes me proud to be handmade.
DM: We're proud of you too Ganymede, you've been an early morning philosopher and a great housemate. Thank you.
G: Thank you Duleea.

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.

Stay where you are Hector, we'll see you soon. Ganymede come to the front door it's time to leave."
Hector and Ganymede are hugging one another and jumping on the sofa.

Day 25 - Eviction #9 Duleea Speaks to the House
Terrence, Hector and Ganymede are the three remaining monster housemates and one of them is about to be evicted. They're sitting next to one another on the sofa and they are intensely somber looking
"Monster Big Brother House, this is Duleea you are live on the blog, please do not swear!!"
"S*@T!" they all shout together and then bust out laughing "It's a Marvin tribute" says Terrence.
"The poll has closed, the votes have been counted and verified and I can now reveal, the ninth monster to be evicted from the Monster Big Brother house is...
...Terrence"
"Come to the front door Terrence it's time to leave"

Day 25 - Eviction # 8 - Duleea Speaks to the House
There are only four boy monsters left in the Monster Big Brother house, Hector, Kelvin, Ganymede and Terrence and one of them is about to be evicted:
"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 eighth monster to be evicted from the Monster Big Brother house is...

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 - 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 - Spa-tastic
The monster housemates won a selection of luxury spa treatments as their reward for completing this week's task.
They've been sipping champagne and giving one another monster pedicures. Swannie is wearing a mud mask and Terrence is using a teeth whitener, Hector just exfoliated and Kelvin has agreed to let Swannie paint his nails.
Ganymede may have overdone the horn polish though; he says his horns feel "loose"!

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 - 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 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 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 20 - Ganymede in the Diary Room
Monster Big Brother called Ganymede into the Diary Room to answer a few questions about making it to the final week. Here's what he had to say.
MBB: Hello Ganymede, how are you feeling today?
G: I'm quite excited actually. I never thought I'd make it this far, but here I am in the last week.
MBB: Do you miss anything about the outside world, Ganymede?
G: Basic personal freedoms (laughs)
MBB: Anything specific?
G: Yes, I miss my family, especially my big little sister Titan. I don't know how she's managed without me.
MBB: Do you think you will miss anything from the house when you leave?
G: Well, I already miss not having Mabel and Madeline's cooking. But I suppose, the monsters, there are some great monsters in here. I hope we'll keep in touch.
MBB: Thank you Ganymede
G: You're welcome Monster Big Brother.

Day 19 - Cthulhu (Stripes) Eviction Interview
DM:Ladies and Gentlemonsters, it's Cthulhu
C: Thank you. Thank you Duleea and thank you for such a marvelous reception.
DM: You're welcome, Cthulhu. We all think you're great. So Cthulhu, what happened with this week's task.
C: Oh dear, yes that was rather frightful wasn't it? I'm simply not built for interactions with netting. Such a disappointment.
DM: Do you think you could have done a better job if you'd had more time to practice instead of arguing over who would go first.
C: Sadly, no. I think I was always destined to make a mess of it.
DM: Alright then, let's move on to something a bit happier. You were like the house Dad, is that a role you enjoyed?
C: Actually yes, I suppose it comes with my great age and experience that I should feel the need to act in a parental role.
DM: Who was the naughtiest of your “children”?
C: Marvin I think...
DM: Not Morris?
C: Hmmm, I've been thinking about Morris and I don't think he should be in the Monster Big Brother house. I'm not sure he's really a monster.
DM: He certainly seems monstrous.
C: Yes, I think that is the point.
DM: Ooh, very cryptic. I can't let you go without asking, can you do the voice for us, please?
C: Do you mean TREMBLE MORTALS
DM: That's the one. So who would you like to win Monster Big Brother?
C: Ganymede, he's very clever and interesting, but terribly insecure, I feel this may give him the confidence boost he needs to help him become a fully rounded monster.
DM: Thank you Cthulhu, you've been a great housemate.
C: Thank you. Thank you Duleea and thank you for such a marvelous reception.

Day 19 - A Dismal Dinner Party
Last night Monster Big Brother provided a sumptuous dinner party in the house and invited the final five Monster housemates to attend the formal meal. At first the monster housemates were really excited at the prospect of a little glamour. Hector and Terrence helped Kelvin to tie his bow tie and Swannie wore a very sparkly tiara.
However, once the meal was in progress it didn't take long for the dinner party conversation to turn to the recently evicted monster housemates.
"It's so quiet" said Terrence "I wonder what Marvin's doing right now?"
"Partying the night away no doubt" said Ganymede
"It would have been so funny to see him in a bow tie, bouncing off the table, if only we had some chandeliers, then he could swing from them" bemoaned Kelvin
"But we have no chandelier" said Hector, a little confused "and no Marvin"
"Cthulhu would have loved this" said Ganymede sadly.
"Let's toast our ex-housemates" said Swannie and when they toasted their friends it was the happiest they were all evening.
Cheer up monsters! There's still another week to go.

Day 17 - Celebrity Fans
Whilst the monster housemates are wondering whether anyone in the outside world even likes them, we've talked to a few celebrity monsters to find out who are their favourites:
Frankenstein's Monster is a firm fan of Cthulhu. "He has a taste and refinement and a love of culture which I really appreciate". He says
The Zombie Horde, fresh from their appearance in "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies" could only give us this incite..."BRAINS...BRAINS..." which we assume means they're fans of either Mabel and Madeline or Ganymede
Gossamer (from the Warner Brothers cartoons) says he likes "George" which isn't very helpful either, but we think he means Marvin.
Thankfully the Loch Ness Monster is more precise, he emailed us to say he's backing Morris 100%. "I know a shady character with a secret when I see one"
Sasquatch has publicly admitted that he'd like to take Swannie out for dinner when she gets out of the house and Hector has had many similar offers including one from The Blob!
And finally we recently had a fax signed "The Triffids" asking if they could come to the final night eviction party as they are big fans of Kelvin and Terrence. Naturally, we declined the offer, feeling that this particular plantlife is better kept behind glass.
If only the monster housemates knew how much everyone loves them.
