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 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.

Day 19 - Marvin's Eviction Interview

Overstimulated amigurumi monster Marvin was evicted from the Monster Big Brother house yesterday and then topped off the experience with some crowd surfing. He (briefly) spoke to Duleea McChen yesterday:

DM: Ladies and Gentlemonsters. It's Marvin.
M: Yay woooo! Look, I'm on the blog!!
DM: Sit down, Marvin, come on.
M: I can't sit down, I'm too excited.
DM: Would you like to run around for a bit.
M: Yes please (runs around, slapping high fives with the audience and jumping around)
DM: Are you done now?
M: Yes Duleea. I'm just excited to be on the blog.
DM: I hate to break it to you but you've been on the blog now for two weeks.
M: Yeah, I know
DM: I only mention it because it sometimes seemed that you'd forgotten that we were watching you at all. You are the least self-conscious housemate we've ever had on Monster Big Brother. Was it difficult for you to be so contained in the house?
M: You bet it was. I am so glad to be out. Yay woooo!
DM: Have you seen that Lurly Jack is here in the studio audience?
M: Is he? Aw, brilliant, it's great to see you mate (runs off into the audience again)
DM: (shouting) Alright then, just one question. Who do you want to win Monster Big Brother Marvin?
M: ME!!!
DM: Ermm...cut!

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 18 - Cthulhu is Evicted

Cthulhu is the fifth housemate to be evicted from the Monster Big Brother house and here he is now.

He looks very majestic waving his tentacles at the crowd. I can see a few girl monsters with homemade banners, one of which says “Cthulhu! You can cuddle me any time!!!!!” I think he's spotted it and he's winked at her! Or he could just have been blinking in the bright lights.

The crowd are not as enthusiastic for Cthulhu as they were for Marvin. And I don't see Cthulhu (Sky) anywhere, I thought he would have been here to support his friend and species-mate. Duleea's coming to meet him now and aww, he's giving her a big hug.

Cthulhu's exit interview with Duleea will be available on the blog tomorrow.

Day 18 - Marvin is Evicted

Marvin has been evicted from the Monster Big Brother house, what will the crowd reaction be like for one of the most exuberant monsters housemates we've ever seen?

Here he comes now, through the door. He's jumping up and down at the top of the stairs and waving his arms. The crowd are going wild, oh...hang on, he's fallen down the stairs. There's a gasp from the crowd...but he's up on his feet again and heading straight for the edge of the walkway and...He's Crowd Surfing! I have never seen anything like it, the security monsters are fighting their way through the crowds to bring him back to Duleea. What a nutter!

Marvin's exit interview with Duleea will be available on the blog tomorrow.

Day 18 - Evictions #3 and #4. Duleea Speaks to the House

The Monster Big Brother housemates are gathered on the sofas again

"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 third... and fourth monsters to be evicted from the Monster Big Brother house are Mabel and Madeline AND...Marvin

Marvin stay where you are, we'll see you in an hour, Mabel and Madeline come to the front door, it's time to leave"

Swannie bursts into tears as she hugs her friends Mabel and Madeline and Marvin doesn't know who to turn to next as everyone tries to hug him at once.

Kelvin gives a nervous cough "So will there be another eviction later?" he asks anxiously. Everyone stops hugging as they realise that maybe today's evictions aren't over yet.

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.

Day 17 - Should I Stay or Should I Go?

Mabel and Madeline have been even quieter than usual since the monster housemates failed the task yesterday. Swannie asked them what was wrong. In a whisper they replied.

"We're frightened we'll be evicted tomorrow and even more frightened of what the monsters outside will think of us." they said together
"I want to go now" said Mabel "But I think we should stay for the eviction" said Madeline

Swannie gave them both a give hug. "You girls are great", she said, "what would we do without you? You cook, you're really good at calming Marvin down and you're both so beautiful. I'm sure everyone loves you. Please don't leave."

Madeline cheered up a little after this pep talk, but Mabel didn't look impressed

Day 16 - A Troublesome Task

The monster housemates completed the Overcoming Obstacles task this afternoon. Here's how they got on.

Cthulhu was the first to attempt the course, although his many tentacles got entangled in the netting and it took him valuable seconds to get free, Marvin went next, speeding round the course in what felt like a record time, he made it through the netting, over the wall, onto and along the balance beam and over the see-saw without even breaking a sweat. Then it was Hector's turn, he kept up a good speed too and the anxious monster housemates gave him a huge cheer when he made it over the wall, which had been giving him trouble during practice.

Ganymede was next and he was doing very well until he came to the end and fell off the see-saw, twice! His housemates commiserated with him as Swannie took her turn, her graceful nature was a real asset and she was surprisingly quick over the wall too.

Morris was the next up, he was very fast and agile, shocking his housemates into silence, then Kelvin took the next relay leg, although not as fast he didn't make any mistakes. He was followed by Mabel and Madeline who were speedy although a little clumsy. And finally Terrence took the last leg of the relay with the monster housemates screaming their encouragement all the way.

Have they completed the course in under five minutes?

We'll be live at the monster Big Brother house later for the results of the task.

Day 16 - The Overcoming Obstacles Task

The monster housemates are in training to complete an assault course that Monster Big Brother placed in the garden overnight.

If ALL the monster housemates can complete the course in under five minutes they will win the task and a special reward. If they fail to make it around in under five minutes they get nothing.

They will run in relay, but earlier this morning they were taking a long time to decide which order they should run in:

"I think the weaker members of the team should run first" said Cthulhu "by which I mean myself and Ganymede, no offense meant".
"None taken" said Ganymede, this is a terrible task for me and I really don't want to go first"
"But the rest of us can make up the time you'll lose" said Kelvin
"And the pressure will be off you" insisted Hector
"Believe me, the pressure is very much on me" said Ganymede sadly.
"I want to go first" shouted Marvin "this is FUN!!!!"

The obstacle course will be run at 2pm this afternoon. Let's hope they can work it out by then.

Day 15 - Taking Them to Task

Tomorrow is task day in the Monster Big Brother house and there's already excitement in the air.

Marvin has been running around all morning singing "I love the task...I love the task...I love the task"

"How can you love it when you don't know what it is?" asked Hector

Day 14 - The Toilet Incident

Fear and terror tore through the house today. The housemates had been witnessing something brewing for the last couple of days and it wasn't the tea!

With a cry of "KELVIN!!!! GET HERE NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Morris stormed out of the diary room, grabbed hold of Kelvin and dragged him, by the hood, to the Monster Big Brother Big Bathroom. (To give the monsters some privacy at the most intimate of times, this is the only room in the house that does not have cameras.)

The monster housemates could hear nothing but a few yells and screams but Monster Big Brother can confirm that through covered microphones a few muffled words could be heard. From what Monster Big Brother can tell Morris was using words such as 'cover' and 'scream'. Kelvin appeared a few minutes later looking visibly shaken but with no obvious physical injuries.

Only time will tell what really happened in the bathroon but, in the meantime, Marvin has taken to calling Morris, 'The Loony in the Loo'.

Day 14 - The Shopping List

The tension is always greatest in the Monster Big Brother house on a Friday, but we often don't see the fallout until Monday. And why is that? Because that's Shopping List day.

Every week the Monsters nominate one of their housemates to spend an hour locked in the diary room with a list of products and prices, they must make a list of everything the housemates will need for the next week, but it must also add up to a specified limited budget.

This week, the unlucky shopping list maker is Kelvin. He's already been in the diary room for 46 minutes and he can't remember all the special request items.

"I know that Swannie and Madeline wanted candy, but I can't remember what sort. I'll have to guess. Terrence wants beans, I mean he always wants beans. Hector wanted fresh basil, I think he's going to make something nice with that. Cthulhu and Marvin wanted booze, who did I leave out? Oh yes, Morris, Morris wanted tea bags, phew that's everyone."

Erm, you also left out Ganymede! Oh dear, I wonder if Monster Big Brother will remind him?

Day 13 - When Will I Be Famous?

Friday's eviction has brought the outside world back into focus for the remaining Monster Housemates. As they lounged in the garden this afternoon the topic of conversation turned to fame.

"What do you think it's like to be famous?" asked Mabel and Madeline.
Cthulhu (Stripes) answered "I'm quite well known already and I can't say it impacts on me on a daily basis. Sometimes there is inappropriate fan mail."
"You're a literary figure Cthulhu, it's not exactly rock and roll" said Ganymede
"That is true" admitted Cthulhu
Then Marvin said what everyone else was thinking. "I want to be so famous I can make money for just being famous. Brilliant."

It's nice work if you can get it.

Day 12 - Lurly Jack's Eviction Interview

Here's what you've been waiting for. It's the transcript of Duleea McChen's exclusive interview with Lurly Jack, following his eviction from the house yesterday.

DM: Ladies and Gentlemonsters, let's hear it for Lurly Jack
LJ: Hi everyone Wooooooo! Woooooooo!
DM: So Jack, you're the first out of the Monster Big Brother house. How do you feel about that?
LJ: Really good actually. Woooooo!
DM: Now that surprises me, because from out here, it looked as though you were just starting to hit your stride in there.
LJ: Yes, I was starting to enjoy myself, but I've learned so much in there that I actually wanted to get out here and put that into practice.
DM: By turning to a life of crime?
LJ: What? No! What do you mean?
DM: When you opened that box for the task, I think that's when you really became more confident. There's been a lot of talk in the media about how you would become an international jewel thief when you got out.
LJ: That's rubbish!
DM: Yes it is, isn't it.
LJ: I felt like the other housemates had really accepted me and that I've started to accept myself and that's important.
DM: It certainly is. One last question, who do you want to win Monster big Brother?
LJ: Marvin Wooooooooo! Yeah, Marvin all the way wooooooooo!

Day 12 - Music Soothes the Savage Beast

It's been another party night in the Monster Big Brother house. For getting through the first round of evictions, monster Big Brother rewarded the 9 remaining housemates with a karaoke party.

Almost all the monsters were all eager to show off their vocal skills and let off some steam and the evening started well Terrence sang "I Will Survive", Marvin showed off his punk credentials by shouting his way through "My Way", Ganymede was a little reluctant at first but then mumbled through a rendition of "Life is a Highway".

As the night wore on the song choices became more bizarre as the monster housemates got drunker. Kelvin sang "Islands in the Stream" as a duet with Hector! Mabel and Madeline surprised everyone by choosing to sing "I Kissed a Girl" and Swannie sang "Barbie Girl".

They finished up by singing some group songs, all the usual end of the night monster classics like "Monster Mash", "Flying Purple People Eater" and "My Beloved Monster". There was a lot of hugging and crying and even Marvin behaved himself. Morris went to bed early.

How long can this monster housemate love last?

Day 11 - Eviction #1 Duleea Speaks to the House

The Monster Big Brother housemates are gathered on the sofas in the living area and everyone looks tense, many of them are holding hands, including Hector and Swannie. Suddenly they hear what they've been waiting for all day.

"Monster Big Brother House, this is Duleea you are live on the blog, please do not swear!!"
"sh*t"says Marvin, breaking the tension and making everyone laugh, Duleea laughs too.

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

....Lurly Jack"

"Come to the front door Lurly Jack, it's time to go"

Marvin bursts into tears and hugs his best friend. "I'll see you soon"

"I can't believe it" say Mabel and Madeline together

"Even by my standards this is brutal" says Cthulhu (Sky)

Day 10 - Frayed Nerves

All the monster housemates are on edge this afternoon. The evictions are tomorrow and none of them know whether they will be staying or leaving the Monster Big Brother house.

Marvin almost started a riot earlier when he suddenly shouted "Mabel and Madeline are coming unstuffed!" This resulted in a great deal of screaming, crying and running about until Cthulhu (Stripes) pointed out that they weren't coming apart at the seams, they simply had a kleenex stuck on one of their feet.

Marvin should have known better, handmade toys don't come apart so easily.

Day 10 - Lurly Jack in the Diary Room

Monster big brother called Lurly Jack into the diary room today, to ask him a few simple questions.

MBB: Hello Lurly Jack, how are you today?
LJ: Excited about tomorrow, Woooooo! I can't wait to hear Duleea's voice
MBB: Lurly Jack, how has your time in the house been so far?
LJ: It's just been brilliant, I was so worried at the beginning that the other monsters wouldn't accept me because I'm you know, different. But they've all be really great and that task, wow, my confidence has just soared after that.
MBB: Who have you bonded with in the house?
LJ: Marvin. What a character, but I think Mabel and Madeline are nice and I love Cthulhu (Stripes) he's like the Monster Big Brother house Dad
MBB: Is there anyone you haven't bonded with in the house?
LJ: Not really.
MBB: Thank you Lurly Jack
LJ: Woooooooo!
