Rodrigo has become the first person to be evicted on tonight’s Big Brother final.
The Queen freak looks happy to be out and met with surprisingly little boos from the eviction crowd.
Who will be next? Charlie I think.

Yesterday, Big Brother told Rodrigo that he was to have tea with the Queen, which sent the poor lad into paroxysms of delight. When he went off to meet Her Majesty, the other housemates were told it was up to them to convince Rodrigo he had in fact met the real Queen.
When he left his afternoon tea with the Queen – who was of course really a royal impersonator – he could barely contain his excitement as he told the rest of the group what had happened. And it appears that the group managed – childishly easily – to convince Rodrigo that his encounter had been with the real monarch… Read more & comment »

As part of this week’s shopping task, Rodrigo has been called to the diary room to meet the Queen, or, more precisely, a Queen lookalike. Poor Rodrigo.
It seems that cruel BB gathered the housemates on the sofas before calling Rodrigo into the diary room. He then told Rodrigo that following their posting of his letter to her Maj, she had consented to meet with him.
“Oh my GOD!!!!” screamed Rodrigo in the diary room while the others watched on the plasma screen.
“Big Brother asked the Queen if she would be able to pop in for tea” said Big Brother.
“You’re joking, Big Brother” gasped Rodrigo. Read more & comment »

Following last night’s theft of the remaining booze, Rodrigo and Charlie have had several rows, one of which made Rodrigo tell Lisa that Charlie had ruined his life. Something of an overstatement I would’ve thought…
Once Kris and Charlie owned up to drinking the remaining booze, aided by Karly, they told Marcus he should punch them both in the stomach by way of punishment. Marcus duly obliged leaving Kris looking a bit green but Rodrigo just wouldn’t let it lie. But to be fair, that’s because Charlie hinted that he’d been in on it when he hadn’t.
Rodrigo told Marcus, “I saw him [Charlie] on the floor, like a snake, going through your drawers.” Read more & comment »

In a fit of boredom this afternoon, Rodrigo and Dogface decided to try out some fake tan, as you do. But it back fired rather horribly…
When liberal amounts of the instant tanning lotion had done its worst, Marcus’s jaw dropped when he saw Sophie.
“Sophie… What have you done?!” he gasped as she glowed in the dark, or at least, she would’ve if it was dark.
“Instant tanner! Why, do I look stupid?”
Erm, there’s no shortage of mirrors Sophie…
Kris immediately burst out laughing when he spotted her – as indeed you can from space.
“What are you two doing?! You’ve got to wash it off!” Read more & comment »

Yesterday the housemates were struggling with the heat in their rather lavish costumes which are part of the Italy task.
Karly, Rodrigo and Halfwit were dressed up as the Three Tenors for which the trio had to wear fat-suits with Halfwit’s being the fattest for his role as Pavarotti. And he especially sweltered with a big false face beard.
The music started and all three sung their hearts out, really wowing the audience of housemates; Lisa and Charlie looked like they might cry as the tenors warbled, while Noirin looked like she’d sat on a nettle and Sree just appeared to be confused. Here’s a clip from the performance…

“Fans of the show will be in for a lucky treat as Rodrigo rubs shoulders with the McQueen’s and co at Hollyoaks Community College… Read more & comment »

Rodrigo is a 23 year old student from Brazil. He is an eternally positive guy who smiles A LOT!
Rodrigo is half Italian, half Brazilian and came to the UK to study and to search for a better life. His family still live in Brazil and he speaks to them everyday although he never wants to go back to Brazil saying “England is everything to me”.
Rodrigo thinks that British people find him “very strange” because he hugs and kisses people and is very tactile but he says this is just a cultural thing. Before he came to the UK he wasn’t interested in men but now he thinks he might be gay, although on average he dates an equal amount of men and women.
