BB Runner Up

Josie wins Big Brother and rightly so but she goes straight back in for Ultimate Big Brother whilst Dave the Christian comes second and returns to his family and his church which is very encouraging.

The Telegraph reports:

The 25-year-old has won £100,000 with 77.5 per cent of the public vote – making her one of the most popular winners in the show's history.

Gibson, who lives on a farm in Bristol, was the bookies' favourite to win the contest.

She developed an on/off romance with the Australian contestant John James during the time they spent in the house, with their relationship becoming one of the main features of the last series.

The 2010 winner will now spend a further two weeks in the house with well-known names from past series of Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother.

She will battle it out against the former weathergirl Ulrika Jonsson, the rapper Coolio and the racing pundit John McCririck for the 'Ultimate Big Brother' title.

Also rejoining the series for the next fortnight are former housemates Brian Dowling, Makosi Musambasi, Nadia Almada and Nikki Grahame.

"Nasty" Nick Bateman, who notably became the first person to be kicked out of the show during the first series in 2000 after trying to influence nominations, will also be a contestant.

Dave Vaughan, a Spirit filled Christian in Big Brother house
Its so awesome that Dave Vaughan is in the Big Brother house! Dave, a personal friend of ours, really loves Jesus and is one of the most on fire, enthusiastic, genuine Christians we know. God has opened a door for him on this show which is watched by millions! This is sowing seeds in millions of lives! He has already been very open about his faith in a passionate and fun way and is being a great blessing and encouragement to the housemates. For example, on Friday 11 June he prophesied over one of the housemates, Sunshine, and this was broadcast on TV the following day! On 20 June he offered to pray for Steve's legs and then read in the Bible what Jesus said about building on the rock. Maybe the best one yet. Go for it Dave!!
On Monday 14 June he was nominated for eviction but then won the task from Big Brother the next day so Rachael was up for eviction instead and she was voted out! On Monday 21 June he was up for eviction again, however Govan was evicted on Fri 25 June with over 70% of the vote, and so it is such a blessing that Dave is still in the house. On Monday 5 July none of the housemates nominted Dave! The favour of the Lord and the people who vote is clearly on Dave at the moment! Please pray that he will be in the house for the amount of time the Lord wants him to be there. 20 August: Dave has made it to the final!! Please vote as many times as you can (calls cost about 50 each) on 09011 323 004 and lets help Dave win.
Highlights from the house each day are shown on Channel 4 and E4 several times a day, including around 9 or 10 each night, and what is happening in the house is shown live in the early hours of the morning. You can watch it live with a 15 minute delay, 24 hours a day for a small fee. You can also watch edited versions of the previous episodes here: http://realitytvfan.org/category/big-brother/big-brother-uk-11/. Some crazy things have happened in the house, but lets see God's glory shine out through Dave, so please pray for him and pass this on to all your praying friends, and add your encouraging comments here.

Big Brother 2010: Profile of Dave Vaughan

Dave was the sixth housemate to enter the Big Brother house tonight. In his VT he said:

“I love Jesus and I am a Christian minister. For 3 or 4 years I was on drink, drugs sex and rock and roll. For the last eighteen years I’ve become a different person. At times I get so overwhelmed by Gods presence and if people get around me they get transformed.”

Age: 39
From: Pontypool, Wales
Occupation: Minister

This ex-postman/ex-pest controller is now a Christian Minister who lives at home with his wife of 17 years along with his four kids, three dogs, six chickens and lots of rabbits. David recently organised an extreme religious event on Barry Island called Sloshfest which attracted hundreds of people from around the globe.

Top of the class at junior school David went off the rails as a teen, drinking and taking drugs. But on October 11th 1992 he met Jesus. Since then he has thrown off the shackles of drink and drugs getting drunk on “Godka” instead.

As well as God David believes in UFOs and ghosts but only as an extension of his understanding of the scriptures. He says he doesn’t want to go into the house to preach but to be himself, claiming to be funny, bright and likeable when he is relaxed.

David enjoys hunting, fishing and Cardiff City FC. He says he spends a lot of time doing very little but does travel through time and space in the spirit realm and the weirdest thing he’s done is “visit the sun.”

He says “I didn’t want to go on Big Brother and I feel weird about the whole thing”, but since wondered if God’s opening a door to the show for him. Whilst in the house he says that he is up for having fun but won’t do “anything of a sexual nature, or that may harm my Ministerial integrity”.
