Chimney Watch: Day 17

17 days into the most keenly followed reality TV show in the history of television, viewers were shocked by what appeared to be the signal that the contestants had already selected a winner.

However, the signal - white smoke - was merely one of the contestants Cardinal Loki larking around with matches.


Holy smoke

Loki has received a warning from Big Brother, who speaks to the contestants through their prayers, that he will be evicted if he continues with his mischievous behaviour.

The 115 contestants from 52 countries are locked in the Vatican and cut off from the outside world with phones, radios and televisions banned. The ratings for the show have been outstanding, with up to one billion Catholics around the world waiting to see which contestant beats the others to the prize of head of the Catholic Church.
