6:08am – The houses have now been merged into one. Chrissie is up and wants to see what has happened. Ben just wants to sleep. Big Brother announces housemates may leave the bedroom. Housemates run out of both bedrooms full of gasps and screams, meeting in the middle of the house. Jo hugs Regina and Ben while Leah just jumps and screams on the spot in excitement. Chrissie and Ben hug, and she says its great to seem them again. The housemates mingle outside and all introduce each other. Saxon says to Jo that its very weird to be meeting like this. Leah has a look of shock on her face.

Some of the round housemates notice the hot tub and scream in excitement. Meanwhile inside Daniel and Chrissie are joking about the housemates, saying “I’m so happy, I’m so happyyy! I’m still asleep, but I’m happyyy”. Next the housemates are checking out the heated pool, and Saxon jumps straight in. Regina and Daniel have a quick catchup. She’s been yelling over the wall to Daniel, but he didn’t hear her. Regina notices that the showers have been removed… they wonder where they will wash. Chrissie says there might be a bathroom somewhere.

Later Regina explains Chrissie would have died if she had been around Carlo. Chrissie only knows him as the one they could always hear making noises over the wall. Chrissie says the other house sounded a bit crazy. Regina is so happy about the merge. In the kitchen Jo asks Vincent if he’s the resident chef. He says he’s the second in charge… the head chef was booted last night. Jo has already heard Saxon didn’t take it very well.

Regina is concerned about the two Ben’s she saw in the two houses. She explains to Chrissie how Ben changed… Regina was in shock. “He was so different… I’m confused I really am.. I can’t work out who’s the real person”.

10:09am – Vincent and Jo are having a chat. Claire told Jo that Vincent is the one she would want to meet. Vincent does the shy boy “aw shucks”. He says he spends his time making sure everyone else is alright. He has learnt in the house that he’s at his best when things are the worst with everyone else. Vincent thinks Ben is a strong person too… which reminds him “Hey guys, who is the alpha male?” Vincent yells. Leah puts her hand up “me”. No one else answers. Vincent asks Jo if she speaks Italian as well. She does some. Vincent picks something out of Jo’s hair. He looks very nervous trying to talk with Jo. She says something in Italian and Vincent immediately compliments her, saying “that proper Italian.. thats better than me!”.

Later Regina is talking with Jo and Chrissie about Ben’s evil side. Regina can’t work out which side of Ben is the real one. Chrissie says it’s bizarre. Belinda joins the conversation, and adds that Ben was pretty full on in the square house: “he was like a man times a hundred”. She says he was mean to Reggie 24/7.

11:54am – Claire and Vincent talk about Carlo’s departure. She didn’t think it would happen. Vincent thinks Carlo shot himself in the foot a couple of times… it was quite obvious. Claire wants to know if Carlo said anything when he left. Vincent explains Carlo went to leave before BB even finished talking. He also explains about Carlo not saying goodbye to Belinda.

12:56pm – BB says housemates may return to the bedroom. They run inside to see what has happened. They find the new bathroom joining the bedrooms. Jo screams in excitement. They are all happy about hot running water and doonas on the beds. Claire and Chrissie hug about the doonas. Leah is shocked. Vincent goes and lies on the new doonas.

Later Regina says she doesn’t want to sleep next to Ben anymore, much to his confusion. Regina dodges the question of why – she says he can go back next door, but Ben persists with the question. Regina keeps responding with “I just don’t wanna”. Eventually Ben says “well fucking say why you immature little thing”. There is an awkward moment.

1:24pm – Ben is annoyed at Regina from earlier while explaining the differences in the houses. He says that in the circle house it was rude to fart, but in the square house it wasn’t rude. If you’re a straight shooter you don’t do it some times… you do it all the time. Regina finds this comment amusing. Ben takes a few jabs at Regina, saying she’s playing the game well. Other housemates are sitting around but don’t dare say anything.

Ben: “She’s a tactician, her little brain just ticks”
Regina: “You reckon I don’t even have a brain so get fucked”
Ben: “No I said you had a brain it’s just fucking small”

Ben keeps taunting Regina and says she wouldn’t have survied without him. Regina is appauled and says she would have rather been on her own. Ben says without him she would have had no way to get the boys to like her.

Recap from the following day’s daily update:

Tonight’s update focused a lot on the round housemates. After Monday night’s nominations, Chrissie is upset about being unable to nominate properly and receiving a strike. She is in the kitchen crying. Jo comforts as best she can, as she can’t discuss nominations. Chrissie says “I feel like such a pussy”, but Jo tells her “you’re human”.

5:43pm – Daniel announces to the other housemates the planned dinner party for tonight.

5:56pm – Chrissie and Jo come inside from the kitchen. Ben tells them he only has four pages left of his book. He started reading it the first night he was in the house (alone). Ben asks about Chrissie’s dilemma over nominations. He relates to her situation (or so it seems). Chrissie then talks about the dress arrangements for the dinner party. She isn’t so sure the team will be able to find clothes that are suitable for her size and mood. Chrissie says she doesn’t feel like putting the effort into the party, and moves into the round bedroom.

7:13pm – Regina is worried about Ben’s split personality displayed when he was an intruder in the square house. Regina, Patrick (with Jo on his knee) and Ben sit around the table outside. Ben explains that the boys in the square house needed a strong influence. He didn’t want to clash with them so he wouldn’t be evicted last friday night. He says that’s the way he is: flexible.

7:42pm – Chrissie is upset in the bedroom. Jo and Regina comfort her the best they can. The conversation then moves onto Regina and Ben. Regina says she is overwhelmed with how Ben is acting, and has lost all faith in him. Her and Jo then explain to Chrissie what Ben told them outside. Chrissie is shocked, and says her skin crawls relising that some one is actually playing the game. Regina admits that while she was in the square house she even considered talking to Big Brother about how the guys were treating her.

The store room is open for the housemates to grab their costumes. Leah is excited and can’t wait to find hers. Chrissie doesn’t want to dress up for the night. The BB voiceover guy explains that the housemates gave their dress measurements to Big Brother before entering the house. Chrissie is not impressed by her blue sequined dress. Ben’s trousers don’t fit properly. Leah’s dress is on in a flash, and seems to fit perfectly. Jo mentions that she looks like a curtain.

8:28pm – Everyone sits on the new round couch to hear who the nominees are. Leah laughs, Daniel cracks a cheesey smile and Belinda starts giggling when they each hear they are nominated. Saxon doesn’t look so happy (maybe because Leah was nominated). Later, Leah is talking to Ben outside about being nominated, saying she’d love to know the reasons why people are nominating her.

8:47pm – Ben and Regina are talking outside. Ben tells Regina not to get involved in any house politics. Regina says that she doesn’t know who is genuine in the house anymore. Ben tells her that she’s the only genuine one. Watch Regina’s popularity skyrocket even further and Ben’s come crashing down.

Vincent proposes a toast to new friends. He is a lot more talkative and positive now that the houses are merged… and probably because Carlo is no longer there too.

10:25pm – Vincent is in the spa getting up close and personal with Jo. He gives her a seductive kiss on the ear. No more footage of this is shown… sounds like Uncut material to me!

10:55pm – Leah is talking to Saxon outside. She says that he’s not the same person she met at auditions. Saxon doesn’t know what she’s talking about and seems to be quite offended by her comments. He says that he’s being standoffish because he just lost his best mate in the last eviction. Leah says he should be able to talk about it with her. He doesn’t want to talk.

1:17am – Regina is exhausted and confused about her confrontations with Ben during the evening. She is in the round bedroom discussing it with the other housemates. Chrissie says he’s a chameleon by admission, to which Daniel agrees. Regina finds it hard after seeing both sides of Ben in the two different houses. Chrissie says it’s a shame their relationship had to suffer as a result of Ben’s dualistic nature.

In the square bedroom Ben is discussing the same thing with Jo and Patrick. He states that he adjusts accordingly to his advantage. He claims he wasn’t vulgar during his stay in the square house. Jo isn’t impressed, she says that he’s only caring about the game, not about being himself. Ben disagrees, stating that his changing nature is himself. He doesn’t seem to care after Jo tells him Regina is upset about this situation.

3:36pm – Regina is in the lounge room. She doesn’t want to sleep in the bedroom with Ben so she can think by herself. Jo helps Regina move the round couch around so she can lie on it. In the square bedroom, Ben thanks Saxon for keeping her out of the room. Regina lies in the lounge room thinking. Jo comes into the square bedroom to ask Ben what’s this all about. Ben keeps asking what Regina’s deal is, while not caring about Regina’s feelings. He says she’s being a fucking idiot.

12:42pm – Carlo is convinced he will be evicted today. He says if Belinda goes to hug him when he is evicted, he will say “how dare you come close to me and ruin my fucking Big Brother experience by hugging me. Get the fuck away from me”. He continues to bitch about Belinda to no one in particular. Vincent listens on while he changes clothes. Carlo hopes if he is evicted Belinda is after him.

8:08pm – It’s time to go… Carlo. The square housemates go up to him. He hugs most of them. Belinda stands to the side not saying anything. Carlo does not acknowledge her at all. Tension grows and Carlo is obviously ready to leave, so he bangs on the doors, but he must wait until Big Brother finishes the countdown. By the time BB reaches “12” Belinda realises Carlo isn’t going to acknowledge her so she moves away from the pack and stands alone. Carlo goes nuts and “sprints” out of the doors. Saxon goes to the garden and sits alone, Regina asks if he is alright. Belinda, upset, says “he didn’t even say goodbye to me… no respect for anyone… thank god he’s gone”. She goes to the toilet and cries, muttering “no respect”. Regina comes to comfort her. Belinda explains she did nothing wrong, but Carlo wouldn’t even look at her… it’s not right. She says she tried her hardest to be nice to him… but he was really rude in return.

Saxon is still sitting alone in the garden outside. Belinda approaches and asks “you don’t hate me now that he’s gone”. Saxon says “no, its just fucked that he’s gone”. Belinda explains she’s upset he didn’t say goodbye to her, and that Saxon is lucky he got a goodbye… very lucky. Regina is uncomfortable and offers Saxon a hot cup of milk. Afterwards Ben joins Saxon. Saxon says “she (Belinda) is sooo fake!” and explains to Ben what just happened. He thinks she is playing the game, but Ben doesn’t think so.

9:34pm – Big Brother has told the housemates they must go to the bedroom so plumbers can come in and fix a big problem. The round housemates suspect something exciting is going to happen. While the square housemates go into the bedroom, Belinda thinks she smells pizza. Inside the bedroom they find a movie has been set up for them to watch while they wait.

12:44am – The movie is playing but the housemates are only concerned with whats happening outside the bedroom. Ben the detective says the plumbing in the house goes directly under the bedroom, not anywhere else in the house. Meanwhile the wall separating the two houses is being removed by a huge crane, revealing the outside kitchen and swimming pool. Ben already has some of the plan sussed out, and explains his kitchen theory to the other round housemates.

Later Leah says they are doing some serious work other than plumbing… if she can hear the tools they are using she will be able to tell because her Dad’s a builder and her boyfriend’s a plumber. She says “Big Brother always manages to get our hopes up and then nothing happens”.

Show starts with Gretel Killen on screen. She announces that we will have three treats for tonight. The normal daily show, and then The Insider with Tim Fergison, and then… an out of Claire, Jaime, Ben, and Regina, one intruder will go, and we’ll get to see it live. Big Brother made an announcement earlier in the day to say that housemates from each house will have to go into the diary room one by one, write the name of the intruder they want to see leave and put it into a box. They are not to talk about who they voted for.

Cue normal opening sequence. Windows-look-a-like box showing a video of Regina and Belinda oh-ma-godding about a lump on the left side of her arm, and how big it is. New footage of Ben saying that Regina might be pregnant.

Square House – 8:29am – Belinda and Regina wake up and Regina looks like she has a sore arm. Belinda aks what’s wrong and has a look, saying that hey glands on one underarm are really huge. “What’s that?” says Regina (about the word glands)

Round house – 10:31am – Leah awakes along with Patrick who goes outside and has a look at the showers. Leah hides under her blankets and goes back to sleep.

Square house – Regina shows Belinda the lump on her chest again, and they start oh-ma-godding about it. Regina had requested a nurse so she is called to the diary room to talk to one. The nurse says she should see the doctor, but until then she should rest.

Round house – Housemates are fine tuning their skipping for today’s task. Daniel chucks a mock tantrum consisting of folding the skipping rope and throwing it to the ground then storming off, much to the delight of Chrissie. The whole group then has a chuckle.

Square house – Belinda has an upset stomach, and tells Regina that the tablets she is taking say that it can cause flactulance. Regina has no idea of the meaning of the word, and either does Belinda – “I’m having a blonde day today, I really should go back to blonde.” The doctor sees to Regina, and says that she has an infected hair folicle, ingrown. The doctor informs her that she won’t be able to do the skipping task today.

Square house – Narrator: “The rain forces everyone inside, and housemates have to find a way to by time.” Carlo jumps on top of the couch and has a look at one of the square picture frames. On his way down he slips and twists his ankle. Everyone scrambles for something to help, and Ben… Doctor Ben rather, tells him to take deep breaths, and that his ankle isn’t broken, probably just strained. Ben says he is quite disturbed by the whole event.

3:53pm – The doctor has said that Carlo’s ankle isn’t broken, just has a strained ligament. Carlo burps, and says it will take around four days to heal. He also won’t be able to skip today. Everyone rushes to the bedroom where they find Vincent at the doorway having trouble breathing. Ben jumps in and Vincent mumbles out “I.. can’t.. breathe..” Ben advises him to just take deep, long breaths. “In.. out…” Vincent gets his breath back and says it’s the first time it has ever happened before in his life. Saxon says him and ben are the only ones that haven’t been sick today. Vincent starts wheezing again, Ben tells him to just not panic, it’s the worst he can do. Saxon trys to say something to help Vincent, and Ben cuts him off. Carlo jokes with Saxon and says the nurse is a hottie.

The verdict is that Vincent had an anxiety attack. He comes out of the dairy room and lies to the housemates saying it was just a one off thing.

Round house – 5:46pm – It’s task time! Jaime is skipping away, doing the Can-Can, while the others hum.
Square house – Saxon does a criss-cross skipping move
Round house – Double and triple loop skipping move
Square house – Belinda does the “skiier ben thrust”
Round house – Two in one skip; Claire and Joanne
Square house – Speed skip
Round house – All in a line skip

Square house – BB announces that Ben should join the housemates in the lounge room, he’s going to announce the weeks task result. He says that the housemates have been through alot this week, losing a friend, weather has been fantastic, and new people are joining. They have bet 50% of this weeks budget on the task.. and they have passed!

Circle house – BB announces that they bet 25% of their weekly budget on the task, and the result is – Housemates have passed. They all cheer. “Congrats everyone!” – Claire

Square house – 8:50pm – Regina tells Ben to feel her tummy. It’s churning apparently. Ben wants Regina to get a pregnancy test, and starts drilling her for answers about touchy questions. She says she has a stuffed up cycle, and has only had her period once in the house, for only one day. “It’s usually normal, it’s just fucked up lately” Regina tells Ben and Belinda that she went off the pill a few weeks ago, from 4 years of being on it. Ben and Belinda oooo and ahhhh. Ben wants her to get a tester from BB, but Regina says she would just be embarased and that it’s probably the bread they had earlier.

Housemates are screaming at each other over the wall, and Saxon asks if they passed the task. They say yes, and Ben screams out “Bullshit! Leah’s mouth would have gotten in the way!” Patrick asks Ben if he wants some roast chicken, and Ben says yes, Patrick will throw it over later. Carlo gets the hose out and sprays it over the divider hiding the pool and kitchen. Patrick says he’s not getting any chicken any more.

Square house – 10:16pm – Ben and Regina are thinking about their old housemates and eviction. Belinda says Claire would be being quiet next door, because she was in the first week of BB. She also says that Jaime doesn’t get into conflicts. Ben and Regina say their house didn’t either, “We never had fights.” (Leah and Ben?!)

Circle house – 1:16am – Everyone says goodnight to each other.

Square house – Carlo comes out of the toilet, adjusting his package and burping. They say Regina should just sit and relax if she wakes up at night and isn’t feeling well.

In the square house, Vincent, Carlo and Ben are all sleeping. One of them is snoring loudly. Regina and Belinda get up at 8:44am, woken by the snoring. They walk outside to find that the BBQ area hasn’t been cleaned up at all since last night’s dinner. Belinda offers to clean it up but Regina states she can’t stand the mess and will help to clean. Regina asks Belinda if they have been this messy since the beginning, which they have. They then discuss what the boys would be like at home. Belinda thinks that Vincent would be the only one reasonably clean at home.

The boys are still sleeping. Regina is finding it funny how the two houses are so different. She says it’s going to be unbelievable when the two houses merge. Belinda says it’s like the square house is the “don’t care house” and the round house is the “lets get in there guys and help out” house.

9:28am – Round House – Daniel, Jo and Chrissie are outside talking about how Jaime was bitching about the other house. Jo explains that Jaime told her he’s much happier in the round house. Chrissie explains Jaime’s run-in with Saxon about closing the doors to stop the moths coming in. There is also talk of Carlo being the alpha male in the other house. Daniel says it’s strange how they’re gossiping about the other house. Jo is shocked at how Carlo dominates the other household (in particular, asking for seconds at the dinner table).

10:39am – Sqaure house – Regina wakes the boys of the house to ready them for their skipping task. For some reason Carlo has a ‘J’ shaved out of his chest hair. Ben isn’t happy and has a go at Regina. Ever since Ben has started ‘rapping with the square house blokes’ he’s turned into a real asshole.

10:52am – In the round house Leah is talking about how tight the group really was before the intruder swapover. Over her breakfast Leah explains that she felt like an outsider from the house until the intruders came, when she realised how close she really was to the others.

In the square house Carlo baths in the kitchen sink which Regina just washed. Regina is not impressed at all and yells at him, calling him a dirty fuck (again). Carlo squats in the sink, his ass hanging over the edge… then lets out a big burp. Even Ben is uncomfortable about Carlo’s actions. There is a close up of Carlo washing his bum crack… how charming.

11:54am – Square House: The house is having trouble at the skipping task. Carlo just sits back while the others try to skip. Saxon has trouble at double-skipping at first, but soon gets the hang of it… after a successful number of double skips, Saxon throws the skipping rope away is happiness… only to see it fly outside the Big Brother compound walls. The others aren’t happy, Ben laughs.

Later, Saxon is talking to Belinda in the bedroom about her isolation from Carlo. Belinda says that Carlo is a horrible horrible man. She explains if she wasn’t such a strong person, she would have left the house long ago because of him.

The round house is doing very well with their skipping task. They do a very good run of a group skip. They all cheer after completing it.

In the square house Regina is drilling the other housemates about the skipping task. She isn’t impressed by the effort being made by everyone. After Ben stuffs up, Regina says “aren’t you smart enough to think and skip at the same time”. Ben, with his newly attained asshole personality responds with “I’m smart enough to know that you should shutup”. Regina knows that Ben can’t stand some one walking away from an argument so she says nothing. This angers Ben a lot and he says something stupid about a comeback (the same thing he said to Leah in the round house).

Later, Regina is cleaning up outside while Carlo and the other guys slack around. Regina tells Carlo he’s “gonna have to change his ways”. Carlo is not happy. Both Carlo and Ben make sexist jokes about Regina doing what she’s told.

In the square house bedroom, Saxon is telling Carlo what Belinda told him earlier. Saxon hesitates at telling Carlo that Belinda really hates him. Carlo says it’s her fault for everything, and the two of them brush the whole problem off. Ben comes into the bedroom and talks about getting a haircut. Carlo says Belinda is only good at doing short sides and back, which is why she’s never touching his hair.

Outside Belinda and Regina are talking about the ethnicity of Carlo. They figure he’s going to be bashed up when he leaves the house. Belinda says she knows other Italian guys who are nothing like Carlo. They predict even the Italian maafia would be disgusted by Carlo and would want to bash him up. Belinda mentions it’s people like Carlo that make you appreciate your life outside the house.

9:05pm – The round house are talking about how they miss Regina and Ben. Chrissie and Jo both agree they miss them more than their family and friends, because they know it’s impossible for them to see family and friends at the moment. Jo is expecting people to ask her why she cried when they went to the other house. Leah says that no one can comprehend what they go through in the house.

9:16pm – Square house – The guys are sitting the lounge room discussing how the girls are going to be sleeping on the couches tonight.

The housemates are woken and asked to pack their bags. In the square house Carlo asks why they can’t have a shower first. Footage of the round house packing up.

10:01am – The round house diary room. Big Brother calls for volunteers from the round house to swap. One boy and one girl, and they can’t be currently nominated. Ben and Regina immediately vounteer. BB warns them that there will be a rewards and risks associated with this. The risk is that one of the intruders from either house will be evicted, but the reward is that the rest of them will be immune from being nominated the following week. They are more hesitant this time but decide to volunteer anyway. Leah looks dissapointed as she cannot be an intruder. Gretel ends the segment.

The square house are in the diary room. Because Claire is the only non-nominated girl she is immediately put on the list to be swapped. She doesn’t really want to. BB says a guy can take her place if she really doesn’t want to go. In the end she agrees to intrude into the round house, along with Jaime who volunteers. Saxon is very much against the idea of going (probably because he wouldn’t be with Carlo). Vincent doesn’t want to do it either. Big Brother gives these intruders only 20 minutes to say goodbye to their housemates. The round housemates are asking Ben and Regina are they sure if they want to do it. Ben and Regina both agree that it’s a good challenge.

Meanwhile Saxon is explaining to the square housemates why he decided to stay. He says that being an intruder and being loyal to the other house means that your votes during nominations would have the biggest impact on who is elected to be evicted.

10:20am – Ben and Regina are leaving the round house. Jo is close to tears, and Chrissie doesn’t seem too happy about the whole situation. In the square house Jaime and Claire are being farewelled. Jaime makes an effort of getting a hug from Vincent. Gretel ends this segment with the eviction numbers for the round house.

10:28am – A door opens in the round house and Claire and Jaime walk in. Everyone gives them a warm welcome and they all hug. Jo and Claire were in the same car during the launch show and Jo remembers Claire is going for her PhD. Jaime and Leah were in the same car too. The square house doesn’t give such a warm welcome to Ben and Regina. Belinda is inside cleaning up when the two enter. She introduces herself and apologises for the mess. Carlo and Saxon walk in from outside and say hello. Vincent appears out of nowhere. They aren’t so enthusiastic as the other household but the all still have a good greeting. In the round house Jaime asks about a pool, but there is none. They all go outside. Ben explains to the original square housemates that the round house living room is much smaller than theirs. Later Ben is ‘rapping with the blokes’ and explains how he was the first in the other house.

The round house figure out that Tamara is missing, and they come to the conclusion that she’s probably an intruder. Jaime says the houses will merge by the end of the week. Ben tells the square house he’s a cop, Carlo says he has no drugs on him. Leah yells over the fence to Saxon asking why he didn’t volunteer to come over. Saxon says he can’t be bothered. Leah swears at Saxon and goes back to joining the new housemates.

Carlo and Saxon reveal that Jaime has been fantasising about Leah for weeks now. Ben says Jaime will be dissapointed – she’s just too loud.

The round house move into the bedroom and Claire identifies that there is a circle and rectangle theme in the two houses. They then organise beds. Jaime offers to share the double bed with Leah. The square house continue to talk. Belinda and Regina go into the bedroom. Carlo says it’s good that Belinda has a friend in the house.

Gretel says the housemates are settling in. 11:00am in the square house. Belinda finds out she uses the same shampoo as Regina. It turns out they have a few things in common. Belinda says the square house had had a lot of loud personalities that have all wanted to take on the leader role. She admits she’s stayed quiet most of the time to prevent conflict. Regina explains how Leah really wanted to move to the square house because she thought they were having more fun. Belinda assures Regina that that was not the case.

Carlo and Regina are talking over the BBQ. Carlo says he misses his girlfriend and explains she was going to move in with him just a week before Big Brother. His girlfriend was also going to attend the same university as Carlo.

In the round house Jo is talking with Claire and Leah with Jaime in the bedroom. Leah is talking about Ben and Daniel farting. Jaime describes some of the things Carlo has done in the square house. Leah says she doesn’t like Carlo.

Ben reveals he smuggled across some of Jo’s pants she wore during the seven sins party. The other guys are all excited and shocked at the same time (mainly due to the fact that the pants are so small). Vincent looks VERY intrigued.

Ben and Regina are called to diary room. Big Brother reveals another secret about a reward. The intruder who gets evicted will receive AU$10 000. However, the housemates aren’t allowed to provoke anyone to evict them or act differently than normal. I’m not sure if that $10 000 will be taxed, as the grand prize is, almost halving the amount the winner actually receives. Anyway, the pair are shocked. When Claire and Jaime are told about this, Jaime gasps out loud and Claire covers her mouth. They look very happy and have to have a final hug before they go back outside. The intruders aren’t allowed to tell the other housemates about this prize.

In the square house, Ben is talking to Carlo and Saxon about the occupants of the round house. He said it was all a bit fake. Carlo finds Ben’s bitching about the other house ammusing. Saxon starts asking about Jo and wonders if Ben is sad about leaving her. Ben admits he was a bit sad about leaving her because they had a strong bond from the begining. Saxon says that Jo sounds that hot she’s the celebrity model of the Big Brother house. Ben agrees. He says she has the looks and brains but still acts a little ditsy. Carlo says “yeah isn’t her boyfriend not that good looking?”.

In the round house Chrissie is saying she wishes the house had a vacuum cleaner. Claire agrees, saying the sqaure house got rid of all their rugs because it was too hard to clean up. She then goes on to explain the demographics of the square house: loud and male dominated, although she could still go to the bedroom and read alone quietly. Claire says she’s really glad she moved house. Both Jo and Chrissie agree that it was good for Regina to be spirited away with Ben in the other house.

Square house: Carlo is the host of dinner, cooking up on the BBQ. Ben has to stand back and let Carlo do all the work, and doesn’t look so enthusiastic about it. Carlo says “don’t be silly, you’re our guests”. Saxon proposes a toast over the dinner table: “cheers to the new household”.

In the round house Leah and Jaime are talking about driving. Leah has her manual licence but Jaime is still getting there. Leah gives a mini lesson on switching gears. Jaime cracks a few jokes, which Leah finds funny.

6:45pm – Claire and Chrissie are making the prediction of a clash between Carlo and Ben in the other house about the BBQ. They both explain they are the dominant males and they will either get along well or totally clash with each other. Chrissie explains how Ben started all the cooking and eventually let people help out after they confronted him about it.

7:30pm – In the square house Belinda is confiding in Regina about her isolation from the other housemates. Belinda explains she wasn’t too worried about it, but she was very glad to hear another girl would be intruding into the square house. Belinda gets cranky with Vincent a lot of the time because they both have similar personalities. She tells Regina that she’s fine with Vincent, and was fine with Saxon until he started getting along well with Carlo, who won’t talk to her at all. Belinda says “at least I can talk to myself”.

8:47pm – The round house are all singing, with Daniel providing faces and hand actions to go along with the lyrics.

The square house yells out to them to shutup. Saxon thinks the square house is too cool to sing and says that he would feel disturbed if they welcomed him as an intruder with a song.

Meanwhile Claire is not looking so entertained and more uncomfortable with the other housemates as they sing along. Surprisingly Regina and Ben yell out for them to shutup from the square house.

Later, Leah is yelling over the wall to ask how Regina and Ben are. Ben tells Leah to shutup. Leah says “how’s it like being poor you dick?”. She then asks Saxon “guess who I’m sharing a bed with”. When she yells out “Jaime” the boys of the square house cheer out, yelling “Go Jaime”. Leah then yells out goodnight.

9:45pm – Outside Ben and Regina are disgusted at Carlo’s peeing in the bushes. Regina calls Carlo a dirty fuck and tells him to “wash your hands you dirty bugger”. Saxon can’t help asking about their place in the house during nominations. He seems worried and uneasy about being voted against by these new housemates. When reminded of the house’s Jump Rope For Heart task (skipping) by Regina, Saxon exclaims he’s not looking foward to tomorrow.

10:06pm – Pat and Jo are “bonding” in the round house bedroom. Patrick tells Jo he isn’t bothered about anything that has happened in the house in the last few days. He does however, explain that he is bothered by stupidity, war and racism. So far there has been no war or racism in the house, and the only stupidity in the house has been funny. Patrick admits he hates brussel sprouts and prawns, which Jo can’t believe as she loves both. He pretends to go outside to tease Jo. Chrissie can see that he’s just pretending and tells Jo he’s waiting behind the semi-closed door. The camera reveals he is. Patrick then goes back inside the bedroom and has a good laugh with Jo.

10:51pm – Belinda is explaining the beds to Regina in the sqaure house. She says that Claire isn’t in the house now so Carlo might not make so much noise or crack so many lame jokes while the others are trying to sleep. Regina agrees with Belinda about Carlo not talking to her and mentions she noticed it earlier when all the housemates were outside. Belinda says it’s weird but she’s gotten used to it. She explains that in the begining Vincent and her were very close but he freaked her out after a while by following her around everywhere. Eventually he got the hint and joined the blokes group in the house. She says she can’t get them to accept her.

Ben comes into the bedroom. Belinda is glad that there is an all Australian guy in the square house. Ben says he’s going back outside to talk to the ‘other freaks’.

11.42pm – Jaime and Leah are in the double bed. Jaime mentions that his old bed was nothing compared to this one, because his old bed didn’t have a girl in it. Leah isn’t impressed by his comment and asks anyone else if they had heard his lame joke. Claire says she doesn’t know what is worse: being in bed with a gay chick with no clothes on or a guy who has a girlfriend. Leah agrees saying “it’s a lose-lose situation”.

Carlo is farting in the square bedroom. Ben and Regina aren’t impressed. They begin comparing the housemates of the square and round houses, and imagine how any of the other round housemates would have coped if they were intruders. Regina says she couldn’t picture any other round housemate fitting in here.

In the round house Jo welcomes the new housemates as they all go to bed.
