10:01am – Chrissie is reading out to the other housemates the new task Big Brother has planned for them. She tells them that the housemates will be split into two groups of three. One group will have and one will have not. They housemates must participate in a tennis task to decide who will be the haves and who will be the have nots. A tennis ball launcher has been set up in the backyard and the housemate must return to ball into the proper area (on the other side of the pool).

A little later the housemates get into the task. Patrick is first. The ball machine spits out a ball to him and he whacks it with all his might. The ball leaves the compound, meaning he failed (the ball was out). Next is Chrissie, who takes a swipe at the ball and misses. Jamie becomes the first ‘have’ by hitting the ball into the correct area. Vincent hits it and the ball going into the pool. Daniel hits the ball in becoming the second ‘have’. Regina gives the ball a talented whack and it goes into the correct area. She’s the third ‘have’ and she can’t believe it. Regina jumps up and down and screams out of joy. Chrissie is not looking happy.

11:29am – The housemates are discussing what ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ means specifically. Daniel starts pushing Patrick to do a musical as part of his personal task. Later Patrick is playing the guitar with Daniel singing. Daniel tells Pat it’s ‘good chords’ even though he previously complained that Patrick is only limited to a few chords.

The housemates are confined to the kitchen while work is done inside the house. Chrissie reads out the rules of the haves/havenots to the other housemates. The haves will live in luxury – they will have access to the indoor showers with unlimited hot water. They choose the sleeping arrangements, they have access to the pool and spa, choose the shopping and have $300 to spend ($100 each). The have nots are back to basics: they do all the cooking, cleaning, must shower outside in the cold and must go to bed when told.

4:03pm – Regina, Jaime and Daniel are called inside to take a first look at the new house. Still in the kitchen, to the other housemates, Patrick calls the haves “stupid rich bastards”. The sqaure side of the house has been blocked off now by a wall, making the living area much smaller. They haves go into the bedroom and find it has been painted and perfumed. There are chocolates awaiting them on tables in the bedroom and there are mysterious backpacks on the beds.

The have nots are finally called in to have a look at the house. Chrissie can’t believe the changes – she comments that it smells really nice. Daniel is wearing a new jacket found in the backpacks left for the ‘haves’. They realise that there are only 3 beds in the bedroom now. Big Brother announces that the store room is open, so the housemates rush to see what is inside. They find three stretcher beds and worker uniforms for the havenots. Jamie won’t stop laughing at the havenots (it didn’t sound like he was joking either).

Later the haves are doing their shopping in a new gold shopping list. The list is full of luxury items. The havenots are confined back to the kitchen to work out what they will be cooking for themselves tonight. Patrick says he hopes the haves don’t order steak. Cut to Reggie pointing out steak in the shopping list. Regina finds takeaway menus and starts screaming in joy. They say they might order Thai food and pizza for dinner tonight. Regina and Jamie keep on screaming at the luxury list.

5:06pm – The housemates are trying to find out what the specific rules for the task are. With the havenots looking very unhappy Regina abandons the conversation to go unpack. Jamie looks very uncomfortable and doesn’t want to face the music so he goes to unpack as well. Chrissie complains that she really doesn’t want Jamie sleeping in her bed. “It really annoys me” she says.

Regina and Jaime are discovering the new clothes given to them in the backpacks. Later in the kitchen Chrissie is telling Daniel about her annoyance over Jamie sleeping in her bed.

In the bedroom Jamie is bragging about “the biggest task ever” when Daniel confronts him about sleeping in Chrissie’s bed. Jamie says that he never wanted to upset Chrissie and it’s the first he’s heard of her complaint. Daniel says Chrissie asked him several times before to not sleep in her bed. Daniel explains that it’s been Chrissie’s spot ever since the begining of the series and she would like to keep it that way.

Later in the show the havenots are called to bed by Big Brother. Vincent looks very pissed off. He pokes his head out of the store room while the haves joke at him to get to bed. He eventually does. The haves laugh while Regina wonders what to do. Jaime says they should just relax and the novelty of the task will wear off tomorrow.

Jamie and Patrick are showering.. however Patrick would rather shower on his own. Jamie doesn’t understand his habit. It’s sunny on this winter morning. Regina is in the kitchen making bread. She’s wearing sunglasses to cover up her puffy eyes after crying herself to sleep – she was warned about loose nomination conversation.

Patrick comes in and tells her about his non-nude showering because of Jamie. Reg offers to tell Jamie not to shower with Patrick or her. She then explains that she’s already told him about him, but Jamie just asked if they minded if he joined them. Regina was worried that her husband Adrian wouldn’t be happy about her showering with another guy. Patrick tells himself he shouldn’t worry about it. While trying to get the bread out of a baking tin, Regina breaks it.

Vincent emerges from the diary room with a message. He says that the shopping will be pushed onto the next day, but Big Brother will provide dinner tonight. Daniel and Regina are pleased – but asks if there is a catch. They start speculating – Daniel jokes they have to dance while eating.

The speculation continues while everyone sunbathes. Jamie thinks some one might join them for dinner tonight. Vincent just says “maybe” to every idea. Vincent says it’s unusual for BB to want them to have a quiet day. Jamie asks if this sort of thing happened before him and Kim moved in. Vincent says that when the houses were joined they were told that there was just a plumbing problem. Jamie suggests that while they’re having dinner they might shrink the house by closing off parts to it. They don’t want the yard to be made smaller because of ‘battlecock’.

Later in the kitchen Patrick is annoyed about the speculation of making the house smaller. Regina is shocked at this idea. Outside Vincent says this is the calm before the storm. Jamie says lets’s soak it up but bring it on – he wants to see whats next. He goes on to say that the housemates sunbathing probably isn’t what Big Brother wants – it’s too cosy so BB will shake things up.

3:41pm – Chrissie goes to the diary room to collect some tablets for feeling well. Big Brother tells her last night’s conversation isn’t something they should have been talking about, but it doesn’t breach rules. He says that they’re lucky they were interrupted. Chrissie says she is really sorry and was worried it would be taken the wrong way. Chrissie goes outside to tell Regina the verdict. Regina is very relieved at the outcome. They agree they were gassbagging into something they shouldn’t have. Regina realises that she was going to do the same thing with Daniel earlier today. Chrissie says that Big Brother suggested that people might be able to code their conversations into talking about banned topics. Regina and Chrissie both agree that they are too dumb to do this, and have a good laugh about it.

8:28pm – Nomination announcement. Jamie, Patrick and Vincent are nominated – they nod along while Regina exclaims “three boys!”. Jamie tells Regina “see, you’re safe!”. They are surprised Daniel isn’t nominated this week. Vincent counts up the number of times they have been nominated. Suddenly Big Brother announces that in the morning they should pack all of their possessions. Regina is shocked and screams out “oh no”. Jamie thinks one of them will be evicted tomorrow.

8:31pm – The housemates are speculating about this latest announcement. They think they’ll be moved to a new house. Jamie says he’s excited to be there right now. Suddenly Regina farts loudly which makes all of the housemates jump up quick smart. In the bedroom Patrick has started packing already while Jamie and Chrissie discuss the possibilities. Chrissie is called to the diary room and their dinner is presented – It’s Pizza Hut (PRODUCT PLACEMENT!!!). Everyone screams and dances at the new food. Jamie does the river dance with the pizzas stacked up. They all scream at the special pizza – Regina is confused what they are.

Daniel is called to the diary room and given a secret personal challenge. The object of the challenge is to win a prize for Patrick and he will receive nothing in return. Big Brother announces that his talk is based on Daniel’s annoyance at Patrick’s guitar playing skills. Daniel must suggest to Patrick that they organise and create a musical with Patrick playing the guitar and Daniel dancing. Daniel says he will give it a shot if there is no downside to it. He’s got 3 days to perform a song with him. After coming out of the diary room he tells the others there was a problem with his microphone.

Later Daniel tells Patrick they should utilise the space outside and do a musical number together.

9:28pm – The housemates are brought to the lounge room to watch farewell messages from the housemates. Kim’s is first, and she tells them she wasn’t going to let her guard down in the house… but she did. She thanks Vincent for the facial and tells him it was funny because he did some things wrong. She wishes they got to know each other better. She thinks it was good that Jamie and her were honest and did have some ‘niggly things’. Kim does a little ‘boom’ dance for Daniel and tells him he is brilliant and thanks him for being honest. Chrissie gets upset when Kim starts listing her great qualities. For Regina she says Reg knows how she feels and thanks her for making her feel so comfortable in the house. Kim says that Regina is so funny without even realising it and she will tell Regina that she will see her along with everyone else at the end. The housemates clap after the video with Regina crying tears of joy.

Saxon’s video comes on – Jamie says that he looks tired. Saxon thanks for them for giving him the greatest experience of his life. He says Daniel made every day for him easier, thanks Patrick for putting him in line and being there for him when he was down. Saxon says Chrissie lit up the house and was just as young as him even though there is an age difference. He says he guarantees her friendship for a long time. Regina is amazing because she’s just Reggie – He can’t waits to come down to tassie to cook fish and chips for her. He thanks his ‘Big Brother’ Vincent for being there for him in the house. He says ‘see you soon’ to all the housemates. Regina is very upset at the two videos.

Bedtime – The housemates are going to bed earlier wondering about what will happen tomorrow. Chrissie says goodbye to sweetness (Jamie) and he says goodbye to light (Chrissie). Daniel reminds them to remember all their stuff in the bathroom. He says that this is so excited and that “stuffs going to happen tomorrow”. Chrissie screams out “STUFF!” and Daniel stards doing a funny dance to it.

10:31am – Jamie’s milk consumption is the topic of discussion this morning. Chrissie telle Regina his drinking of the milk should stop. They have 2 litres of powdered milk today after Chrissie asked Big Brother for an advance from next week’s staples. In the kitchen Chrissie tells Jamie that there is to be no milk drinks. He is silent.

In the kitchen Regina and Kim work on their jeans. They hope Jamie doesn’t drink all the milk. Saxon, who is sitting near them learns about Jamie’s milk drinking habits and can’t believe it. Their first milo tin lasted for six weeks and now they have gone through another one in just under a week. Regina says he just eats it out of the tin. Kim says “fucking disgusting. He makes me sick, and that fake laugh”. Saxon agrees.

2:03pm – Jamie has been left alone in the kitchen. While no one is looking, he eats the meatballs from a pasta dish directly out of the pot. Kim however noticed him doing this eariler, and tells Regina about it. Jamie has now made a large milk milo, and sits outside. Kim says “are you getting into the milo drinks again?”. Jamie replies “again? This is my only one for the day”. Regina lets him know about how they are suddenly going through milo really fast and that they probably won’t buy another tin. Regina and Daniel discuss it as if Jamie isn’t sitting right next to them. Soon Jamie briskly walks away in silence. Regina says it’s all going because of some one being silly and selfish but Daniel doesn’t think so.

5:39pm – Saxon is in the spa. He jokes with Patrick about how long dinner will take and how the two who leave won’t be able to eat. Saxon is set on him leaving, and bets Patrick will say. Once Patrick leaves, Saxon looks up to the sky and wishes up on a star:

Saxon: Star light, star bright. The first start I see tonight. I wish I may I wish I might. Be still here tomorrow night.

8:16pm – It’s time to go… Kim. She jumps up shocked and then screams in excitement. She hugs Jamie first and the moves onto the other housemates, saying “I knew it would only be a little while”. Things get teary when she moves onto Regina, who starts crying. They share a few more hugs before Kim finally leaves out the exit door. Regina cries in Saxon’s arms, who says “You’re stupid Australia!”. A little later Jamie says they always get rid of the loud ones with energy. Regina has a theory that two girls will go tonight because they always vote out the girls first. Saxon says “who wants to see four men and a gay guy in a house together”.

8:45pm – It’s time to go… Saxon. Regina says “fair dinkum!”. Vincent looks shocked for the first time ever. He says goodbye and Regina yells out “have fun, have fun with Kim!”. Saxon and Vincent hug for a very long time and looks shocked again after the exit doors leave. Vincent hugs Chrissie. No one can believe Saxon has gone. Vincent eventually goes into the square lounge room and wraps a blanket around himself. Outside Patrick tells Regina he’s glad she’s still there. Vincent is alone.

9:12pm – Jamie is setting up the fireplace in the kitchen. Meanwhile Chrissie and Regina discuss how they can’t believe Saxon is gone. Vincent says he thought he would leave before Saxon. The girls didn’t think Kim would go either. “She’s so warm, she’s so entertaining”. Vincent says he probably had a better chance this week because he had that “positive” exposure for his massage task on Kim. Regina proposes that the events of the week before with Jo had a lot to do with it.

11:10pm – The boys are around the kitchen table. They all explain how they thought each other were going. In the bedroom Regina and Chrissie discuss how they know who will be nominated from now on, and who will win. Chrissie says she reckons she’ll be nominated. She says “Vincent, quiet achiever, I think he knows what he’s doing”. Regina agrees. Chrissie didn’t realise it until today but Regina says she knew all along. Vincent’s talk of being portrayed in a positive light sparked Chrissie’s suspicions – the theory is keep a low profile and get through to the end.

11:26pm – Boys are still in the kitchen. Jamie draws attention to a leather band Vincent wears around his wrist. Vincent says it’s to cover up a scar but tries to dismiss any further talk. Jamie says Vincent always gets really touchy about discussing that part of his body.

Winner talk continues between Regina and Chrissie. They agree that only Vincent is playing to win. He has come out a lot lately but maybe thats part of his plan – still, Chrissie reminds them, there are still days where he will just say nothing. Chrissie’s idea for the last three would be Regina, Saxon and Daniel. Now she thinks Vincent might sneak into the final three if he lays low enough. Regina predicts if the boys want to start playing now they will get rid of the girls. However, Chrissie noted that Daniel has said “girls never win”, so it would be easier to win if they were up against the girls. Regina gets frustrated at not being able to come up with any solid theory.

Chrissie: Well I don’t think there’s any strategists in the house… well I think there’s one.

Regina: There might be two.

Big Brother: This is Big Brother. Chrissie and Regina to the diary room

Regina: We must be in trouble. Bugger.

As the girls enter the diary room the boys watch from the kitchen and give them “naughty naughty” finger actions. In the diary room Big Brother warns them their discussion was bordering too close to breaking the rules of discussing nominations. BB will review the tapes tomorrow and get back to them, so he suggests they stop talking about nominations. Chrissie says “but we weren’t talking about nominations”. On the soundtrack there is an angry sigh from Big Brother that probably wasn’t meant to go to broadcast. BB says they were talking about the last three people in the house and tactics. Both girls disagree and say they weren’t talking about tactics at all. BB says it’s fine and BB will get back to them tomorrow. On their way out Chrissie says “that wasn’t at all what I thought we were talking about”. In the bedroom they disagree with what Big Brother just said.

Morning: Regina is lying in bed, and exclaims she is going to be sick.

11:15am – Jamie is attempting to make the bread today. He says “this is awful” and swears. The bread dough has gone very sticky and Jamie says “what the hell… this is terrible”. Regina wonders through the house and eventually lies down on the square living room couch. Kim puts a blanket over her. Vincent comes into the kitchen, and Jamie tells him not to look at his disaster bread.

Regina asks Daniel to pass her a bowl because she’s going to be sick again.

Later Jaime dishes up his second lot of bread (the good lot). Patrick is trying to make a third.

4:30pm – Housemates have been given pairs of jeans to paint as part of Jeans for Genes day. They talk about the double eviction: Jamie says it’s quite rude how they come and take two housemates when they are all enjoying themselves.

11:01pm – Regina is in bed with Kim and discusses how Jamie has been drinking full glasses of milk when they are already very low on rations. Jaime walks past and they go quiet. He comments he made bread today and asks if they were ok. Kim says it was fine. Reg says “good on you” for making the bread.

Outside Saxon is in the spa with Daniel and imagines if Jamie and Kim were evicted. Daniel says that would be pretty harsh. They say it would be like the original six without Jo and Claire. Saxon comments everyone would be so close it would be really hard.

In the bedroom.

Regina: I’ve had so much fun. Best time ever in my whole life. The best. Nothing comes near this.
