Terri is annoyed that Travis takes so long to cook. “You fluff around! I like to get in and get it done.” Travis tries to be diplomatic and says that there was nothing on the agenda for the rest of the night so he should make the most out of the time and have fun with it. “I agree with that, but if you’re going to do it, get it done,” says Tori.

Travis thinks he won’t have to do much cooking tonight. Terri tells him that he needs to thaw out the chicken before he cooks it. She bosses him around and tells him that he should go and do his washing too. Rory is building a house with his Lego but said he’ll help Travis lay some bricks later – Terri isn’t happy with this and tells Travis he needs better time management skills.

Big Brother has sent in the vending machine for the last time. Ben, Terri, and Travis have parcels from home in the machine but there are only enough coins for two. The care packages contain heaps of sentimental items including messages from home, lollies, and new clothes. Ben asks the house if they would mind him getting his and Travis’. Travis suggests a rock-off between Terri and Travis to decide who gets what.

2:57pm – Ben is called to the vending machine to make his selections. First off he picks Travis’s care package. Next, he picks his own care package. They each receive paper slips to take into the diary room to redeem for the full package.

In the lounge room Rory tells Alice and Terri that he would have given up his for Terri’s. They take the packages outside to open them. Ben and Travis show the other housemates their photos. Travis squeels… and squeels… and squeels some more. Ben gets teary at his letter from his parents. “Can’t we just get Terri’s too Big Brother!” screams Alice. Travis starts crying when he reads his letter.

Terri goes into the bathroom and is upset that she didn’t get her care package. “I don’t wanna be crying infront of Travis and make him feel bad,” she says. Alice says she’s shouldn’t worry.

5:17pm – It’s raining outside and Ben is sitting inside the Kombi awaiting a call from Big Brother. Ben says that he wants to get Terri’s package and wants to know what he can return to get it. He says that she missed out and he feels bad.

5:02pm – Big Brother has asked all the housemates to describe their favourite meal, and pick one to be made. The catch? Travis is the cook. Terri goes into the diary room and collects all the ingredients. She looks upset that Travis has to cook the meal. “Are you serious?!” exclaims Rory.

Travis is cooking Rory’s dinner – steak, potato bake, and a cheesecake.

Terri and Alice are in the bathroom putting on makeup. They find a bald patch on Terri’s head and try to cover it with foundation.

Travis is in the kitchen “cooking”. Flash forward to the dinner table where all the housemates are congratulating Travis on his cooking skills.

Ben gets a call from Big Brother, who tells him that they can have Terri’s care package but it must be traded: for the treadmill. There’s a catch though: he must keep it a secret from Terri. He tells Travis and Rory outside and they think that Alice will never agree to it. Travis goes to tell Alice – she says no straight out.

Travis pleads with her and she says that it’s too unfair and that Ben should have to sacrifice something, not her. Rory questions her and says that it’s only five days until she can get it back and she should just do it. “I don’t see why it’s on me to give up the thing I’m super excited about,” she says. “I think you would argue why is it all on you if it was all your bandannas.”

“I’m sick of this fucking treadmill being such a fucking issue!”

12:46am: Rory is in the Kombi with Ben. “She’s going fucking sick over it!” he tells Ben.

In the house Travis and Alice and speaking about the treadmill infront of Terri. She asks what’s going on and Travis tells her that Big Brother will give them “something” if they give up the treadmill. All the housemates leave Alice in the house and she starts talking to herself – “it’s something that I love.” She starts crying. Rory enters the house again and asks if it’s really such a big deal; she says yes.

Rory and Alice are having an argument in the lounge room. She says that she takes family first too but doesn’t understand why something needs to be taken off her when it’s something for the group. “I want her to get a package more than anyone!” “Well keep it down or you’re going to ruin it,” says Rory. They argue some more and Alice tells Rory that he has always had a problem with her running on the treadmill.

1:36am – Terri enters the diary room and Big Brother asks her what all the cufuffle is. Terri has figured it out and knows that if Alice gives up the treadmill she will get her care package. She says she doesn’t want it to cause a problem between her and Alice.

Alice is on the treadmill and says that she wants to use it one more time before they take it away – before she can begin Big Brother calls her, Ben, Travis, and Rory to the diary room. He tells them that because the secret is now out, the deal is off the table. “Whatever you want to think you know you dogged that,” Rory says to Alice.

Cherry is evicted and the housemates gather outside to call out to him. The housemates laugh and Travis screams as they realise Travis is back to cooking by himself.

Alice is called to the diary room and asked about what she thinks being part of the final 5. He asks if she thinks she can win. “Yes, I can, but yes I can confidently say that the others can too. I’m over the moon.”

Ben is asked the same question by Big Brother. He says he is loving it and doesn’t think he can win as he’s up against some pretty awesome people. “I doubt it.”

Next up is Travis. He doesn’t know why people selected him over Cherry to stay in the house.

Ed: Sorry, missed Terri’s diary room chat.

Big Brother asks how Rory thinks he made it into the final 5. He says he has no idea but is stoked that he’s got this far.

The housemates are gathered in the lounge room to deliver his final message and hand grenade. Cherry gives his money to Travis. He then tells Terri that she’s an awesome chick and that as they got to know each other a lot better they have quite a bit in common. “You know where it’s at,” he says to Rory. “You’re the sort of guy that girls look for. When you get out of here you’re going to have the best time!”

Cherry tells Travis he’s the most positive person he’s ever met but he should throw a negative comment in there at some point just to stir it up. “You are a genuine guy that does not care what people say about you.” He then wishes Ben all the best for the rest of the game. “Keep Kombi’ing on!”

“I think you abuse the treddie and I think you need to give it a bit of air” Cherry tells Alice. “You’re amazing you know!”

Cherry tells the house that Big Brother will be delivering his hand grenade. “Alice to the diary room.”

Big Brother tells Alice that in one week time the winner will be announced, and that there are too many housemates. “It’s time for another snap eviction. Each housemate will cast one eviction vote. The housemate that receives the most votes will be evicted immediately. Who do you want to evict?”

Alice gives Rory her point. Big Brother reminds her that a lot is at stake and if she is sure. She then changes her vote to Ben, with her reason being that he just hasn’t given enough to the Big Brother experience. Alice moves into the eviction room.

Ben is next to the diary room. The housemates click on that Alice isn’t in the diary room and they run off to the toilet and to prepare… for something. Ben votes for Alice because out of everyone her departure would affect him the least. Camera cuts to Alice pacing in the eviction room. Big Brother reminds him that a lot is at stake and if he wants to change his mind – he says no. Ben is sent to the eviction room and reminded not to tell anyone who he voted for.

Rory is shocked by the announcement. Travis and Terri speculate in the lounge room and get it right. “They wouldn’t do it,” says Travis.

Rory picks Alice because out of everyone here he doesn’t get along with her. Big Brother reminds him that this is serious and he back at him: “I know, so let’s just get on with it OK?”

Terri chooses Travis because she doesn’t think he will spend the money well if he wins. Big Brother asks her to take a minute to make sure she is sure. “Nope, I’ve made my decision and I won’t go back on that. It’s a horrible thing to do.” Terri moves into the eviction room and starts crying.

Travis chooses Terri and says that it’s because last week she didn’t help him as much as she could have and got too frustrated. Travis joins his fellow housemates in the eviction room.

The housemates are lined up and ready for the snap eviction. Big Brother calls the names of the safe housemates which must now sit down: Rory. Terri. Ben. Travis moves over to Alice to try and comfort her: “I don’t want you to touch me.”

“One of you is about to be evicted… and that person is, Alice.” Alice moves to the exit door and is then put into the flight simulator. The rest of the housemates move to lounge room and are locked in. They are all angry at Big Brother and say that Alice will probably be pissed with them. Travis tries to think of ways that Alice could come back and the rest of the housemates shut him down.

Big Brother congratulates the housemates on being the final 4. He then tells the housemates that there are still one too-many in the house. “No!” they all yell. Ben says that what Big Brother is doing is “like actual torture.”

Travis is first to the diary room and he picks Terri again. Big Brother asks if he is sure and he says no. He then returns to the lounge room and tell the housemates that he thinks Big Brother is being inhumane.

Terri picks Travis for the same reasons. “Are you sure?” “Yes.”

Rory picks Travis because if he wins the money it won’t affect him the same way that if someone else won the money. Big Brother tells him to go back to the lounge – “just shut up and open the door.”

Ben complains some more and moves into the diary room, then complains some more. He picks Travis for the same reasons as Alice. “If he leaves it won’t affect me the same as the rest.”

Safe: Ben. Rory. Terri is safe and Travis is asked to leave through the eviction door.

Later, Travis delivers his hand grenade. He gives his money to Rory and says he has great plans and has come from the dark side of life and deserves it.” He then tells all the housemates they’re great, as expected.

Alice is reunited with Travis in the hand grenade recording room. They talk about what has happened and Travis tells Alice that she shouldn’t take it personally and she says she had to.

Big Brother: “Alice and Travis. You have not been evicted.”
Travis: “I could give you tongue right now! I’m so happy!”
Big Brother: “Shortly, you will enter the back yard and be reunited with your housemates. You must remain silent until the roller door opens.”

The housemates are reunited with Alice and Travis. Rory is in shock and doesn’t say a thing while Travis explains why he didn’t have much to say about him. They all scream and go crazy.

Big Brother calls all the housemates to the diary room and tells them that he is sorry for messing with their heads. “This was a test to show more of your true character to the people that will be voting for the winner.”

Ad break!

Rory comes to the diary room and he tells Big Brother that he isn’t happy. He thinks it’s a dog act and that it’s bullshit. “I don’t think it should have happened.”

Terri is in the diary room and is asked how she felt about the concept of spending her last week with Rory and Ben. She says she wasn’t very happy. Terri starts crying and says that she was upset seeing Alice on the screen crying and felt sorry for her. She said she couldn’t believe her eyes when they were reunited.

Ben asks Big Brother how he is. “Same old,” he says. Ben laughs. He then says that the whole experience has been a rollercoaster and that tonight has been hard. “It appears Big Brother does not have a conscious.”
