Round One was “Shoe Phone Fetch” with housemates competing in pairs where one housemate was Fang the dog and the other was Maxwell Smart.

The housemate deemed ‘fang’ was dressed as a dog and had to crawl to a pile of shoes and carry them one-by-one in their mouth to their master Maxwell who then had to throw them through doors which were being opened and closed by the ninjas.

The girls went first with Alice and her dog Bianca scoring 8 and losing to Brigitte and her dog Terri who scored 9. The boys then had their turn and Ben and his dog Cherry scored 13, annihilating Rory and his Dog Travis who scored 9.

Two of the four losers were then invited to win their way back in a second chance round. Each losing boy was paired up with a losing girl and had to dress them with only their mouths.

Rory had to dress Brigitte and Travis had to dress Terri. Despite Travis sticking the tongue in while attaching Terri’s moustache, they lost out to Rory and Brigitte who won themselves a place back into the games.

Rory, Alice and Brigitte then took on Cherry, Ben and Bianca in Round Two – “Time Bomb Volleyball”. Teams had to return slime-filled balloons over the net. The first team to five points was to be the winner and that turned out to be Rory, Alice and Brigitte – the Red Team.

The night wasn’t quite over Blue Team-ers Cherry, Ben and Bianca though. They each got to take turns trying to blow up a missile by removing strings one-by-one. On Cherry’s third turn he finally picked the correct string and blew it up securing himself a spot in round Three.

Round three was a contest in which one boy paired up with one girl to race around an obstacle course. First up Rory played Agent 86 while Alice played Agent 99. They completed the course in 0:59 but were awarded 20 seconds each as a time penalty for falling off of a ledge. Cherry then took on the role of Agent 86 and, accompanied by his own Agent 99 Brigitte, beat out the first time with a flawless performance on the ledge and an overall time of 1:16.

Brigitte and Cherry then dressed as giant hands to play “Spy Snap”. Despite Brigitte’s obvious enthusiasm Cherry snapped himself three pairs in a row and took out the night. He chose Brigitte, Terrence and Bianca to accompany him to the movies to see a screening of Get Smart.

Once again, poor old Terrance is unable to compete in tonight’s games. After the HMs enter the arena, BB declares him tonight’s ‘groupie’, and gives him a blonde wig and some lippy to wear.

Round 1: Skid Row

This game was a skidding competition. Girls and boys competed separately. One by one, they had to make a run-up to a wet and slippery vinyl surface and slide as far along it as possible without shuffling their feet or losing their balance. The further they went, the more points they scored. Housemates got two skids each, with the two top scorers from each gender going through.

With the maximum number of points for one skid being 10, there were no particularly strong performances from the girls. It was Brigitte on 5 and Alice on 4 who went though. Terri got 3 a Bianca a measly 2.

No doubt experts in the way of the skidmark, the boys showed a bit more skill. Nobbi in particular got a perfect 10 on his first skid (they did all get one practice run however). Also of note during this round was a noble attempt by co-host Fitzy to breach FNL’s PG rating - “god, he went down quicker than a Van Halen groupie!” After both skids it was Nobbi on 14 and Rory on 11 who advanced. Cherry got 6, Ben 5 and Travis 2.

Second-chance Round: Kicking competition

Housemates are spun around ten times, and then within three seconds must kick a bass drum into a giant target on the ground, aiming of course for the bullseye (5 points). One attempt each, and the two with the highest score are back in the games.

Cherry is first. He staggers right off, but lands a good kick on the drum. Unfortunately it only gets one point. Ben next. He has trouble getting in position to kick the drum, but his kick gets him two points.

Trav next. He prances straight towards the drum and kicks it into the 4 point area! Everyone cheers. Bianca next. One of the boys: “Watch out for the boom-boom!” She barely gets out of the spinner, and then staggers and falls flat on her arse as everyone giggles. No score. Terri next. Brigitte: “She looks funny!”. She makes a solid run for the drum and gets it into the three point zone.

Travis and Terri are back in the games!

Round 2: Iron Maiden

This is a team obstacle course. On the buzzer, one Housemate, dressed as a giant iron, pushes another on an ironing board, weaving in and out of several large weights. Then, reaching the third Housemate (the ‘maid’), the original pusher also hops on top of the ironing board and both are pushed to the finishing line, as the third collects several pieces of washing from a clothes line along the way. Best time wins.

First is Nobbi, Alice, and Terri. Terri is on the board, Alice is the first pusher, and Nobbi is the second. Going around the obstacles, they miss a weight. They reach Nobbi at the halfway mark, and Alice has trouble getting on top of Terri on the board. The Ninjas help hold it steady. Eventually, they’re on their way and Nobbi pushes them down the rest of the course (which is just a straight). They’re a bit uncoordinated grabbing the clothes (which have to be placed in a basket Terri’s holding), but eventually cross the finish line. BB tells them they got 1:30. However, as they hit a heavy metal, and threw a bra in the basket after crossing the finishing line, they’ve had 10 seconds added. That’s 1:40.

The second team is Brigitte (on the board), Travis (first pusher), and Rory (second pusher). Brigitte calls out steering instructions to Travis, who manoeuvres around the irons quite well. They reach Rory, who assists Travis in mounting Brigitte (heh). Rory is much more coordinated in the second half than Nobbi was, quickly running and grabbing all the clothes before pushing his fellow HMs down the straight. They got 1.10! They’re through!

Second-chance Round: Pin the Tongue on Gene Simmons

The three members of the losing team will be be blindfolded and spun around before placing a big tongue on an even bigger Gene Simmons poster. Closest HM goes through.

Nobbi put the tongue roughly on Gene’s ear. Alice next. She walks forward very tentatively, feeling the edges of the picture. Consequently she almost gets it spot on. Terri last. She follows Alice’ example, but still loses her way a bit, feeling all over a cameraman and a ninja’s face. She eventually finds her way back and places the tongue only inches from Alice’s. A ninja has to measure it, but Terri wins!

Round 3: The Air Guitar Championships

Each HM will have 30 seconds to perform an air guitar song. They wll be judged by air guitar ‘professional’ Rath Mackenzie. All four HMs score highly, with a particular comment from Rath about Terri’s tongue work. In the end Rory gets 7/10, Brigitte 9/10, Travis 10/10 (despite failing to actually hold a guitar for most of his go), and Terri 8/10.

Travis and Brigitte are through to the final.

Final: Smash ‘n’ Grab

Hanging in the arena are a number of boxes (five for each HM), each of which contain a key. Once all keys are collected, they must use them to open a door - only one key will work in the lock. The first Housemate to get through their door and don the ‘backstage pass’ is the winner.

Much of the race is close, but Brigitte seems to have that extra bit of determination. She hurriedly tries her keys and is through the door! Brigitte wins the Games!

In the Diary Room, Brigitte is told that her mystery prize is a private screening of her favourite movie, ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’. Without hesitation, she chooses Alice, Terri, and Travis to accompany her.

Next week: Spy night!

For up-to-the-minute FNL updates each week, head to our Fan Diary!

Terrence was out of the games before they begin – doctor’s orders due to his ongoing neck trouble. That left ten starters for the games.

Round one was the “Pinch of Salt” course. In teams of five, housemates had to all straddle one long broomstick and make their way through the course in the shortest time. Ben, Rory, Travis, Rhianna and Bianca competed first and achieved a time of 2:10. Nobbi, Brigitte, Cherry, Terri and Alice, aided by the advantage of going second achieved a time of 1:55.

Big Brother then instructed the five losers to stand on five red disks on the ground. Rory found lucky number 7 under his disk and won his way back into the games.

Round two was Freddie Vs Jason. The Freddie Krugers, Alice, Cherry and Brigitte, took on the Jason Voorhees’, Nobbi, Rory and Terri, in that old FNL favourite – the pillow fight on the slippery pole.

At the end of 2:00 neither team had a player in their opponent’s zone so a sudden death race to the centre was played out between Cherry and Rory. Rory narrowly won and was thrashed by Rory’s pillow for his troubles.

Big Brother then had a ‘scream’ off for three people to win there way back into the games. Each eliminated housemate screamed into a deciblemeter. They achived: Rory 103.3 dB, Nobbi 122.1 dB, Rhianna 106.5 dB, Ben 110.5 dB, Bianca 112.3 dB, Travis 115.1 dB and Terri 118.1 dB. Based on these results Nobbi, Travis and Terri were invited back into the games.

Round three was “Monster Munch” – another FNL classic game which involves a giant human kebab. Two members of each team (the ‘Chefs’) had to cover the third member (the ‘Madonna’) in sauce and other ingredients, then roll them up to make a ‘Madonna Kebab’.

Cherry and Alice had Terri all wrapped up and fed to the monster in 1:28. Nobbi and Brigitte then wrapped up Travis, getting him in the monster’s mouth in a time of 1:22.

Brigitte, Travis and Nobbi then competed in “Thirteen Pin Evil Penguin Bowling”. They were each required to slide down a tarp on an inflatable ring and knock over as many ‘evil penguins’ as possible. Nobbi achieved a score of 11, Travis 9 and Brigitte 8. Brigitte was therefore, after a short temper tantrum, out of the games.

In the final round Nobbi and Travis were required to eat nasty foods, with one point being awarded for each one they got through. Firstly a teaspoon of wassabi, which both competitors managed to do without incident. Secondly was ox tongue, which again both boys managed to swallow. Big Brother then upped the ante and told them they weren’t allowed a drink of water until they presented an empty mouth.

The third item on the menu was Ox Tongue which (with some encouragement from their housemates) both of them managed to swallow. Fourthly they were presented with bull’s testicles, Nobbi gets his down without chewing but Travis has trouble with this one and can’t finish it.

The final course was fish eye which again Nobbi was able to complete when Travis couldn’t, although Travis did give it a good go despite already having lost the games.

Ben says that he feels the friendship between them is a bit different, but Travis hopes it returns to how it was in time. Nobbi gets up and watches on from the doorway. The girls are all complaining that they don’t have a hair straighter. Rhianna can’t believe there isn’t one in the house. Bianca says that Big Brother should have to pay for their hair treatments until it recovers.

Ben tells Nobbi that he talked to Travis in the morning and is a bit disappointed in the outcome. Nobbi says that there is no point; Travis will never understand. He says that they’ve both said what they wanted to say and it’s up to him now. Ben thinks he might try to have another talk to him.

3:47pm: Nobbi tells a few housemates that he is setting himself a personal challenge for the entire time he has left in the house. He wants to talk gibberish to Terrence whenever he starts telling stories. He does so when Terrence starts talking, and when Terrence gives up on Nobbi, he starts on Alice. Everyone walks away.

Brigitte accidentally hurts Nobbi but asks him to stop talking about a particular topic because she will get herself into trouble. Nobbi comes over and tells Ben and Terri that Brigitte told the producers she was in single but in actual fact she isn’t. Ben says it’s not their fault that Brigitte lied during the selection process and they should be able to say whatever they want inside the house.

4:37pm: The vending machine is back in play and this week they have 18 coins. On offer is coffee pots, steaks and wine, 11 chocolate bars, bedroom makeover, soft drink, Frisbee and a footy. The housemates debate getting a hair straighter for quite a while. He gets Brigitte’s dress back for her, the football and finally picks chocolate as well.

5:01pm: The boys are kicking the footy. The girls are complaining about not getting the hair straighter. Bianca says that they should get it as soon as possible should one of the girls become head of household. She starts crying over it. Nobbi outside tells the boys he would never get the straighter. After a few minutes, they stop playing with the footy and play with the large exercise ball. Brigitte and Alice are talking about Nobbi and how much influence he has over the house. Alice says that she feels the need to like him and be liked by him for some silly reason.

7:43pm: Brigitte and Bianca are talking to Ben and Nobbi. Bianca asks Nobbi to stop saying that Brigitte and Cherry are flirting. Brigitte says that it would wreck her life if something was taken the wrong way, but she says she doesn’t have a boyfriend in the outside world.

Later, Nobbi and Terrence talk about absolute rubbish, most of it coming from Nobbi. Terrence says the wisdom he has received today from Nobbi has been fantastic. They say goodnight and part ways.

1:07am: Terrence is snoring and Bianca can’t sleep. She hits him with a jumper three times to no avail. She comes out and complains to Brigitte and Alice who have a laugh about it. In the bedroom, Terrence continues snoring.

Outside, Nobbi tells Ben that the intruders have changed things. Ben says Terrence has been annoying, but the other two have been fine. Terrence comes to the diary room. He says that he is an irritating person and was therefore expecting to be nominated. He says that his style of humour has been a negative inside the house, but he’s hoping that the public are enjoying it. He then goes on to tell Big Brother a really lame joke.

Terri wonders what Cherry thinks of Rhianna. He says that she isn’t that hot at all. He says that he would never cut Rory’s lunch however. Back outside the boys are saying that Rory has become very protective of her in the past few days. Ben decides he should try to piss Rory off by spending time with Rhianna.

Rhianna is giving Ben a haircut in the salon as part of the weekly task. In an attempt to keep chatting in the salon they make up ridiculous back stories for themselves. Alice is in the diary room and says she isn’t as stressed this time round. She realises that people obviously don’t like her being up twice in a row. Ben thinks his haircut makes him look like a rabbi when he wanted to look like Elvis.

Terri tells Travis that Bianca has been very confronting and sarcastic towards Terri lately. Alice joins the conversation and says that Renee thought that Bianca was becoming one of the boys in the past few days. Alice says that the staples have had an effect on her though.

6:39pm: Nobbi is talking to Big Brother from the kombi. He tells Big Brother that he doesn’t find being head of household tough, however he does find living outside very mentally tough. He says that people who have left would hang out with him in the backyard, and he’s had to resort to starting arguments to get some stimulation for him. Nobbi says he’ll probably be nominated every week from here.

Terri and Terrence both tell Travis that living in here isn’t pressure compared to living real life. Outside, Nobbi, Rory and Terri say that Terrence is fine to take in very small doses. They are glad he came in as an intruder. Terri says living with him would drive her inside.

7:13pm: Travis wants to get his chest waxed. He wonders if his nipple is going to rip off. Nobbi puts the wax sheet on and keeps it therefore a little bit before pulling it off and Travis goes beserk. They do a second one and more commotion commences. The housemates think it looks good though, even if his nipples are red.

8:23pm: It’s Alice’s turn to get her haircut in the salon. Cherry is the hairdresser. Alice asks how his boyfriend is doing. He gets straight to work, cutting it very short.

Ben wonders how Nobbi feels about being nominated. He tells Ben what he told Big Brother; in that he thinks he’ll be nominated every week from here. Ben says that if he goes Nobbi will be stuffed because no one else will stay outside with him. They say that Rory really likes Rhianna.

Terrence comes to the diary room for a short joke before bed. He starts telling the joke, but gets confused, and has to change it halfway through. Again, it’s ridiculously lame. Rory kisses Rhianna goodnight and snuggles up to her.

Round One this week saw a 2008 FNL first with more than two teams in a game! Team captains were made up of the intruders, as well as Nobbi who earned his status by saving water with a shower-free day. Two members of each team had to push the third around an obstacle course in a wheelie bin.

First up the Green Team (Rhianna, Alice and Rory) beat out the Yellow Team (Cherry, Renee and Brigette) in a close heat. Not so close was the second heat with the Blue Team (Nobbi, Bianca and Ben) easily beating the Red Team (Terrence, Travis and Terri).

Round two sees one housemate strapped up on a harness ‘flying’ above the arena. Their two team-mates have to throw them recyclable trash, which they in turn have to throw into the correct recycling bin.

Rhianna flys first and scores 8 correct items - a score that was smashed by Nobbi who collected 12 correct items on his flight.

The night wasn’t open for Rhianna’s team tho who competed against each other for a place back into the games. The three of them had to cram into a phone booth and dress as Clark Kent in the fastest time. It was a close call but Alice just beat out Rory to win her way back.

Next up was “Murder In The Bark” - a classic FNL game. This is the one where two players are blindfolded – but wearing noisy apparatus’ – and one has to find the other.

First up Bianca was chasing Alice – and caught her easily. Secondly Nobbi was chasing Ben – and caught him easily. Hardly surprising considering Mike Goldman said that in rehearsals they pretty much always got caught!

In the final round Nobbi and Bianca had to defend the planet against meteors. More specifically, they had to stand on a spinning platform and keep meteors of their opponent’s colour out. Nobbi won this game by a large margin and won himself the game.

Nobbi is called to the Diary Room and Big Brother tells him he’s won 4 tickets on BB Airways. He choses Ben, Rory and Bianca to fly with him.

Big Brother tells the house that they have indeed passed this week’s task. Big Brother tells the house that Ollie will also stay indefinitely. Big Brother tells the house that they are now ‘out of the doghouse.’

3:31pm: Ben comes to the diary room to find out where Travis is or for any updates. Big Brother tells Ben that he has passed on all information available to him.

5:54pm: Brigitte wants to know what Terri said about her before. The boys tell her that Terri said she felt sorry for her because she doesn’t have a brain. Brigitte follows Terri around the backyard until the truth comes out – Terri thinks that Brigitte’s face look ridiculous when she screams and yells. Terri says she looks like a donkey. Brigitte barks back that at least she has no

2:23am: Nobbi talks to himself and decides to breach the rules and enter the house. He sneaks into the house and makes it to the doorway of the bedroom. Brigitte and Bianca notice that he’s made his way in and Nobbi tries to find Rory. He starts putting pegs in his hair. Rory wakes up but can’t figure out who did it and then finally Nobbi starts laughing too much, Rory realises, and Nobbi runs out of the house.

Back at the kombi and talking to himself, he says he can’t sleep. He tells the door of the kombi to stop getting stuck. As Nobbi gets comfortable, Big Brother tells him that he’ll talk to him about his breach in the morning.

Later, Ben, Nobbi and Rory burst into the toilet where Travis is and squirt him with some shower gel. Everyone is laughing hilariously. Ben says he didn’t think it would squirt out so much. Travis comes out and says that his eye is killing him.

9:21pm: Friday night games have finished, however, Travis has been removed from the house to check out the eye. Renee takes Dixie to the Strategy room. Renee says all she ever wanted from Big Brother was to win a Friday Night games. Renee tells Dixie that Bianca, Travis and Dixie are in the bottom three. Dixie tries to work out a strategy with Renee, but she isn’t really interested in the slightest. Dixie suggests trying to get friendly with whoever wins Friday Night Games.

Later, Renee comes to the diary room and says she can’t believe that Dixie thinks things through as much as she does. She says she feels sick for having to sit through that conversation. She didn’t think that it was this much of a game for some people.

10:19pm: Nobbi and Brigitte have a game to see who can spit the furthest through their teeth.

11:13pm: All housemates are called to the diary room. Travis was taken to a Gold Coast medical facility and is having further treatment overnight. Big Brother tells them he will pass on more information when he has it. Ben seems very upset, and Rory tries to tell him that it was just a prank and anyone could have done it. Ben starts crying a bit and goes for a walk in the backyard.

Nobbi tells him not to feel bad, saying that Travis will be fine. He gives him a hug telling him Travis will be back in the house tomorrow. Ben says that if Travis has to leave he wants to leave too.

It was then back to the old standard “two teams” games with Rory, Travis, Bianca and Ben facing off against Dixie, Brigitte, Nobbi and Alice in the second round which is a game of soccer while wearing backwards racing binoculars. Despite a nice early goal from Rory, his team is out-scored 3 to 2 and are eliminated from the games.

Next up is “Photo Finish”; an obstacle course while riding on mini horses on wheels. Alice, Renee and Nobbi go first. Nobbi is very enthusiastic with his whip and gets over the line quickly. Alice comes in last and gets eliminated. Next to race are Brigitte, Dixie and Terri. Brigitte won easily with Terri coming in last and being eliminated.

In the fourth round Nobbi and Renee took on Dixie and Brigitte in a contest to shovel ‘horse manure’. This is the FNL ‘classic’ where one person throws shit (haha) over the wall and the other catches it. Dixie shovels first, throwing to Brigitte. Nobbi then shovels and throws to Renee. Both Brigitte and Renee have impressive falls wall running with their poo-loads but ultimately Renee’s team is victorious.

Nobbi and Renee then had to face off in “The Biggest Winner Game”. They have to see who can don the most extra weight (in clothing) in a set time limit. Nobbi manages to gain 7.05 Kg while Renee picks up an extra 8.65 Kg and wins the games.

Big Brother tells Renee the bottom three Are Dixie, Travis and Bianca, then asks her who she’ll take to the strategy room. She decides to take Dixie despite not wanting to have to tell her that she’s in the bottom three.

Alice comes to the diary room and tells Big Brother that Travis isn’t deliberately leaving Ollie alone on purpose, it’s just the way Travis goes about life. He wouldn’t get dressed unless told to do so. Alice says that she is loving the task and spending time with Ollie. Meanwhile, Travis in the kitchen says he hasn’t even read the Dog manual book. He says he simply hasn’t had the time to do so. Renee can’t believe it.

Nobbi and Rory both suggest that Alice is definitely playing the game, but both agree that she isn’t hiding it very well. Renee lets Alice know that Travis hasn’t had time to read the manual, and Alice repeats what she told Big Brother.

Alice is training Ollie and asking it to stay and sit, getting quite angry at the dog. Ollie eventually comes to where Alice wants him to walk. Travis brings up the fact that some people in the house are laughing at him rather than laughing with him to Nobbi and Rory. Nobbi and Rory say they aren’t laughing at him, they are simply his mates. Nobbi does admit that some things Travis says they do laugh at, but all mates do that.

Nobbi is called to the kombi van. Big Brother tells Nobbi that recently he warned to lower their levels of profanity. Big Brother tells him that last night when speaking he was using profanity every few words. As punishment, he must clean all the windows in the backyard. It’s also raining quite heavily outside. Nobbi wonders if he swears a lot, and Travis says that he swears a lot more passionately than most others.

3:26pm: Rain is still falling so Nobbi puts garbage bags on and jumps flat first into the turf to amuse the rest of the housemates. Inside Alice tells Renee that she just can’t talk to Travis today. She says she can’t put up with stupid questions any longer. Renee says she would rather he say that he doesn’t like her. Alice agrees.

Travis says that everyone has catchphrases and words or phrases they like to use to kick off speaking. They wonder how Travis would send a message to a girl he slept with the night before. He says he would start with “G’day” and everyone laughs. Renee comes and gives a pat to Ollie.

9:59pm: Housemates call Terri a witch and Terri takes offence to that. Terri says that Brigitte has called her a witch sixty times since they’ve been here. Brigitte imitates a witch. Terri says that he would like to give Brigitte another brain. Brigitte chucks food at Terri, and Terri flings some back!

11:52pm: Nobbi is in the kombi but it’s wet inside the van and he is complaining to himself. Nobbi tells the others than his van is leaking and there’s no way of stoping it. He tells them he’ll sleep outside somewhere. Big Brother tells Nobbi that because of the rain he can sleep inside for tonight, and tonight only. He tells Nobbi that he can sleep just inside the door of the house in a 2-meter square radius and Big Brother pulls down the roller down so he can’t see out. He tells Big Brother that it’s a bit like jail. Brigitte brings Ollie to the strategy room and tells the dog that she wants Rory to go. Brigitte says that he spells like crap. Later, Renee talks to Ollie and tells the dog that if Terri is up for eviction, she’ll vote for her. Terri tells the dog that if Renee is up she’ll vote for her.
