NO MORE FAFFING ABOUT!
Tippler, you can't unevict and then evict Angelalala. This is because A) you don't have a Golden Keyboard, and B) she's already been unevicted.
You can however just plain old evict her, which I'm presuming is your decision, seeing as she's already been saved from eviction and so just like everyone else can also be evicted.
This is all pretty shitty for Angelalala, who doesn't know if she's coming or going. So Ange, I'm sorry, but you're going. You have Bob to thank for all this, so when he's back from his sojourns feel free to give him a good solid kick to the nuts. Not that I'm promoting violence against fellow bloggers or anything.
However, and as a goodwill gesture at being totally knobbed around, Big Blogger would like to invite you to take the mantle of Little Blogger for this week only and be custodian of the Diary Room. How does that sound?
I'm trying my best to be nice, but it's just so hard.
Now, time for this week's task.
"Big Blogger wants the remaining seven housemates to write seven posts about the seven days of the week.
The posts can be written in whatever style you want, can be fiction or fact, can be about personal experience.. basically anything you want to write, so long as each post is relevant to the day of the week that it is about.
You can choose how you post; you can either post one every day for the next seven days, or you can post one big post with all the days combined together, OR you can post them whenever you are able to post them. As long as you post seven entries about the days of the week by next Monday evening then you will have completed this task.
And feel free to use multimedia (mp3, video, etc..) in your posts.
As I said above, the deadline is next Monday evening."
That should keep you all fully occupied. Now, are there any of those pork scratchings left?
BB
Right. That was a proper old can of worms Bob chucked in.
And, as you figured BB, Tippler is sticking to what he posted earlier.
I think it's the only decent thing to do given the poll results. If there is ANY decent thing to do in such circs.
I'm not going to go against the results and randomly evict anyone else, so sorry Angelalala.
BB, give her some cider, will ya?

No offence Tippler, but I don't understand how come you even have the Golden Keyboard Thingy?
I just thought coming last meant immunity.
Or should I just shut up?
Posted by: bedshaped | Tuesday, 10 July 2007 at 14:16
Bedshape, I don't. But somebody thought I did. Because I ended up with the lowest score this week due to being Mr Bloody Average.
Which someone thought meant I'd won the golden wotsit. Can't even remember who it was.
And like the gullible git I am, I believed them. But I admit, I was (am) confused.
No offence taken. Didn't want the keyboard anyway. Can't even use my own properly...

OK, I know I'm not anything to do with this site but if it helps, I think this came about cos BB said on 9 July in "Help. Please", and I quote
"The average of all the votes (180 in total) is 20, and so Tippler, with a score of 21, is the most average housemate and gets a bonus minus 25 votes, giving him a total of -4 and making him the winner of the vote and giving him the opportunity to save one of the evicted housemates from this weeks eviction (whoever the fuck that actually turns out to be) and evicting someone else in their stead. Someone else who can then actually be reinstated into the house by either Clare or Penfold if they so choose"
Hope this helps, and this is the last you'll hear from me!

Oi, oi! I'm not 'aving this!
Tippler does not get a golden keyboard - as confirmed by BB in 'Help please' comments thus:
And Tippler won't get a Golden Keyboard. Not just because he'll probably break it, but because three Golden Keyboards is taking the piss in my opinion.
What Tippler does get is immunity, as per Bob's guildelines, thus:
2. Big Blogger loves an underdog. Therefore, any housemate who comes last in a competition or vote will receive immunity from that task’s punishment (e.g, eviction, being Ricky Gervais’ PA, having to listen to Keane, etc.).
And if you don't believe me and my carefully collected evidence, just ask Bob, so there.
*pout*

When does Bob return? I feel we need his guidance. Not happy about Ange being booted *pout*
Posted by: Joseph | Tuesday, 10 July 2007 at 16:38
Where's a quantum physicist when you need one?
This is still doing my head in, and okay, I must admit, the 'winner gets to choose to save someone and evict someone else' rule is actually one of mine and not in Bob's rules, therefore Angelalala you are correct and I, the most esteemed Big Bloggahhh am wrong.
There, I admitted it.
So Ange, you're not evicted.
Can I go now?
Posted by: Big Blogger | Tuesday, 10 July 2007 at 16:50
Booo!!
I go to sleep for three days and look what happens. Honestly, this is the last time I steal any absythne that I accidentally find under the sink.
Enjoy the rest of your stay everybody. I was going to walk anyway. Honest.
* goes off to pack in a huff *

You could have shared the absinthe for fuck sake.
Or even just told me so I could 'confiscate' it.
Ah well, glad you're still alive and a bit sad to see a fellow angry young man (and I use the word 'young' loosely) bite the dust.
Please say your goodbyes in the Diary Room asap thanks very much cheers.
Posted by: Big Blogger | Tuesday, 10 July 2007 at 16:57
Thank you, Big Blogger. I feel all vindicated now and I hope the confession was good for your soul. Lucky I checked really cos I'm off to training in a bit and things could have got really violent!
Good to hear you're alive and well, Angry, even if you're not able to stay in.
Posted by: Angelalala | Tuesday, 10 July 2007 at 17:10
Another reason for Angelalalala staying is me and Clare both unevicted her so even if she was evicted twice she was saved twice.
So there ner.
Just to clarify - if I have a real Golden Keyboard (patent pending) do I get eviction immunity in the forthcoming week or was it the last week when I wasn't being evicted anyway so immunity from eviction was virtually pointless and uneviction was inevitable?
If you get my drift...
Posted by: penfold | Tuesday, 10 July 2007 at 17:21
Yes. And no.
(That's the best answer I can come up with right now.)
Oh alright, I'll try a bit harder.
You don't get immunity I'm afraid, but you do still have a Golden Keyboard, as does Clare, for the next few days at least, so please refer to Bob's rules in regards to how you can use it. And immunity isn't anywhere in the Golden Keyboard manual I'm afraid. I've looked.
Just to clarify, you're not immune.
Got it?
Posted by: Big Blogger | Tuesday, 10 July 2007 at 17:30
Er - yup?
Posted by: penfold | Tuesday, 10 July 2007 at 17:47
I love penfold, me.

I can't resist...
"This is still doing my head in, and okay, I must admit, the 'winner gets to choose to save someone and evict someone else' rule is actually one of mine and not in Bob's rules, therefore Angelalala you are correct and I, the most esteemed Big Bloggahhh am wrong."
But... BB, the reason Tippler got to save someone and evict someone else instead was, as you say, because it was in the original rules: the person with the least votes gets the CHOICE to do that. If they want. So technically Tippler did indeed have that power. But...
Wasn't the idea that the winner of the week before last's task got to decide, for one week only, on a NEW set of rules which replaced the old ones? If that's the case then the BB rule about person-with-least-votes-gets-to-muck-about-with-evictions was overruled.
And anyway, the rule was only ever that Tippler had the choice to muck about. He didn't have to (and I definitely got the impression that he thought he had to). So m?
aybe that also means Angelala can be saved.
Finally, I can't resist saying this, but BB, you did rather bring all this on your own head when you said task-winner could rewrite the rule book for a week. You might have guessed pandemonium would ensue.
Oh, and finally, do I still have immunity for two weeks running (i.e. next week too)? You said I did at one point, I'm not sure I can remember why. But I don't mind if it gets rescinded, as it does seem a bit much.
Posted by: Clare | Tuesday, 10 July 2007 at 18:22
Um, can we have a more stringent definition of "evening" for the task deadline? Like a time, in BST?
Posted by: Clare | Tuesday, 10 July 2007 at 18:35
Clare my love (Happy Birthday again!), yes, you are immune from eviction for another week, so if anybody fancies nominating you it's a bit pointless cos you can't be evicted.
And yes, I did bring this all on myself. It's been fun though, wouldn't you say?
Although I have to say that it would probably help if Bob was actually about to help with his sodding rules, rather than sunning it up on a boat somewhere in the Baltics...
Posted by: Big Blogger | Tuesday, 10 July 2007 at 18:48
"It's been fun though, wouldn't you say?"
Yeah, and I confess I do love it when things get complicated.
And yay about the immunity thing. And the birthday thing. Yays all round, in fact.
Posted by: Clare | Tuesday, 10 July 2007 at 20:00
I don't care about all that stuff...
Angelalala loves me....

Posted by: penfold | Wednesday, 11 July 2007 at 07:43
Gosh. I really didn't think it was all that complicated. A bit silly, yes, but not bad enough to cause such a kerfuffle. I'm back on land and will have proper wi-fi tonight at the hotel (which is just a secret room in behind the sliding wall in the lounge).
Posted by: bob | Wednesday, 11 July 2007 at 09:34
Bloody hell. I've just read all that and, for the record, I DID think I was obliged to evict someone but it's all turned out nice in the end.
Except for Mr Angry. But then he buggered up the task. Which is a shame.
Anyway, so if I've got this right, I'm immune from eviction next Monday? Quote:

That's great news that is, I'm off to get pissed...
Posted by: Tippler | Wednesday, 11 July 2007 at 09:36
But if Tippler got the least amount of votes in an eviction, that's winning and not being an underdog at all ... so really for that he shouldn't get immunity.
But surely Big Blogger's rules trump my guidelines, so ...
I'm so getting evicted this week.
