Big Brother and the Zombies!
With all that is going on you would think we would have more important things to do rather than just sitting in front of the TV (sound down, of course) and watching Big Brother but how could we resist. Life has to go on!

There was definite evidence that the show had been affected. It seems not long after midnight last night Kat (The Cookie Monster) was briefly taken out of the house as she had banged her knee on something while jumping up and down and had to go to the hospital for an X-Ray. She returned a few hours later.

I guess that was when she got infected.

They were all in the garden when she attacked. The housemates were playing around the pool when suddenly Kat leaped onto Rex's back and started to eat his neck! It was of course a major panic and the rest of the housemates ran into the house (There is a glass front between the garden and house.)

For over an hour they argued among themselves at to whether this was a TASK or not. Big Brother was of course not answering any calls. I guess they have either left or been infected and the housemates had no other contact with the outside world.

Kat continued to chow down on Rex while they argued. Alex was the most annoying she had ever been shouting and saying how she 'knew it was a task' and how bad the special effects were (this from a woman who was so sure an engagement ring was a cheap fake, even though the diamond was really almost a caret and really worth £2000!) Eventually Mario snapped and shouted at her that if she was so sure she should go and speak with Kat. Another age of arguing broke out and finally, and a little reluctantly Alex went outside.

And was quickly dispatched not only by Kat but the now reanimated Rex!!

The housemates watched her being eaten for about half an hour before they started to talk (a bit more civilly now) about what they should do.

It seems they have decided that, if they hear nothing from Big Brother by Midnight they are going to use one of the emergency exits to leave. I'm sure they will have changed their mind by then. Or been eaten.

As for us well we seem to be okay for now. Robin has already done his bit by coming in with a bird! I think he is helping with the food stock. :)

I'm not expecting a good night's sleep tonight if at all. Viv has been monitoring the situation via bliteotw but I am determined we won't just tire ourselves out. The house is locked down. I will, as always, be sleeping with my katana by my side, and tomorrow I may see if I can get any more information about what the hell is going on! So far all we have heard is a Army truck going down the road with a loud speaker telling everyone to stay inside and to put a sheet over the door so they will know who is alive and a sheet with a cross on the door if you have anyone injured or infected inside.

Anyway, hopefully the power will stay on and the Internet stay up.
