The point of not returning the suitcases was that the suitcases were not returned when BB asked and nothing happened.

As Ahmed wisely said if BB came and got them BB lost.

As Kitten noted BB can't compromise or he loses.

BB can only punish but in that case they learn what punishments he has available and he is still not getting what he wants on demand.

They have had a first success in changing the relationship. Bb wants to be a victorianstyle father and dominate his children but they are ignoring him. He can't compromise or enforce his power physically and the kids have now got away with saying no for the first time. The kids percieve that he has less power and dad is beginng to go gray thinking how much power he has if his bluff is called.

Jason looks more and motre like the typical military man - outrageous off duty but totally obediant on.

You think Kitten won then! I don't see her case or a photo in there. Or was it a 'moral victory'?

BB took a while getting there but they now know how to beat the group. Put the onus on Jason or Vanessa or Shell or Victor to do what Kitten is opposing. None will risk eviction or even supplies withdrawn just for her sake.

As for a nominations strike - that is a corker! So 11 go in and decline to nom while the crafty 12th one gets to pick the 2 that go! Just how many in the privacy of the diary room would be the crafty 12th HM - at my guess about 9 of them!

A good idea earlier... just keep hooting the wake-up alarm at 0600 hours until all the cases are returned... rewards and punishments seem to be BBs game plan, so when does it start exactly?

Added to this I would of asked them to get ready for the
Big Brother official photograph to which they all get ready
change clothes etc.
All are now assembled in diary room smiling away whilst
the Big Brother staff quietly collect cases.
Diary room door opens housemates run out and one by one discover that the suitcases that they had brought
in are now GONE...........................................

What the F*** says...........
I dunno says another
really ..................says Marco
Really says Big Brother dont F*** with me

I have an Idea, Kitten gets her case. She takes it to her room and opens it and inside is the decapitated head of her girlfriend. She goes mad and murders all the other housemates. Then the police are called who take her into custody. It is then revealed that the head was just a clever wax dummy.

The world is a better place.

Or, more seriously, the case is opened and inside it is a big piece a dog shit.

Yes, that could work.

Or, even better, hoot the wake-up alarm every time someone lies down until all the cases are returned.

Oh you are all too nice. I would have gone in over-night and removed the food and replaced it with bags of porridge, turned the hot water off permanently and then turned on the wake up alarms at 05.30. Just for good measure, as they got up I would also have locked the doors to the patio, bathroom and bedroom so they all had to remain in the small living space getting on each others nerves, only having the kitchen sink to pee in and resenting Kitten for bringing it all upon them.

But he can because he has power over their basic comforts. He can with-hold food, light, heating and restrict their space. He has ultimate power over them and could easily break them if he chose to do so.

Cut off the booze supply and hot water............. And no response from BB, no matter what for 24 hours. You can enter the diary room whenever you want but BB is silent, no response, nothing....... Then just as they are starting to panic about what the f**k is going on, BB demands that Kitten bring the suitcases to the diary room and not another word till she complies, if she doesn't cut of the electricity and withdraw the cameramen, they would have to rely on remote cameras I know but that would really scare the HMs.

Give them the silent treatment until they learn to comply with BB.
