Day 56

9.24pm – The housemates are brought up with a whistle call. They all take a dive. Camilla says good morning to the other housemates. Gaelan, who is wedged between his bed and the wall, thinks he took some skin off his knee taking a dive.

10.36am – Housemates are posed by the backyard goal. Big Brother says they have saved 14 balls, and let 9 balls into the goal. Gaelan opens the task result envelope, it says they were allowed to let 6 balls in. Krystal and Claire jump up and scream in excitement. Gaelan says “what!? we let in 9 goals… we lost”. The girls are dissapointed. Claire says they can’t fail its her birthday. Big Brother however gives them a second chance since their dives during the task were excellent. They must all take a penalty shot at the goals.

Katie stops the ball
Ashley stops the ball
Claire misses
Krystal misses
Rob misses
David stops the ball
Galean stops the ball
Jamie stops the ball
John misses

They must stop the next ball to pass the task.

Camilla stops the ball

The housemates all jump on Camilla and cheer. They sing “ole ole”.

BREAK

1.50pm – Jamie is sleeping. Katie and John are getting ready to run through an obstacle course they built. And they’re off: First they put on pyjama pants, then another layer of clothing, then crawl through a gap in the hammock (they fall over each other) then another layer of clothing. Then they must hop across the backyard on deck chair covers. Then they eat a full cup of dried chickpeas. Rob cheers them on to win. Katie coughs up her chickpeas. John looks like he’s going to vomit. Katie finishes, run backs to the hammock and picks up the winners belt. She says it wasn’t a good win.

Inside the girls wonder why Katie is doing it to herself. Krystal says they are all going mental. John needs to wash his mouth out with water. Katie chants out “loser!”.

2.33pm – Jamie is still sleeping. Camilla, Claire and Krystal all say Jamie has totally changed and is isolating himself from the other housemates. They think Katie and the nomination annoucement is causing it. Claire says they are just making it harder for themselves. They are confiding in themselves so much its making it harder for themselves on the outside.

2.34pm – Jamie is still sleeping. Katie is putting on clothes and he asks her to come sit with her. She says no because she’s going back outside. Jamie says he will just go back to sleep then. Katie tells him not to waste what could be his last days in the house. Jamie just doesn’t feel like doing anything. He eventually gets up and wonders outside where Katie is. Claire tells the other girls it will be so interesting to see how the couple lasts on the outside. Camilla adds that Jamie has been critical on the other housemates more than usual lately, but doesn’t want to go.

The sun is setting on the Big Brother house. Katie is getting cold as she sits with Jamie, who is again questioning his own behaviour. He said his tendancy is to know exactly who he likes and doesn’t. Its always the people who don’t like him that he doesn’t like back. Thats the reason he can tell who nominated him. He feels a little betrayed sometimes. Katie says he will never impress them so why bother. Jamie says he gave people the benefit of the doubt and its resulted badly. They couple hug but Jamie is still moping.

BREAK

5.10pm – John has been called to the diary room to be told off. He was talking badly of Big Brother earlier. He must go to the punishment room and peel oranges. But not before throwing some on the floor in anger. John takes this time alone to check his hair in the mirrors.

Outside the housemates are preparing for Claire’s animal themed party. Rob tells the other housemates not to stuff their faces with food immediately. He says its about being polite for Claire’s birthday – they should respect what she wants to do. Katie isn’t happy with Rob taking control of the party and goes to the diary room to talk about it. Rob wonders if he was a bit rude, Claire says no way – she doesn’t want to stress about things tonight. Camilla doesn’t think anyone left the dining room area because of Rob’s announcement. He says sorry to Katie across the house.

Camilla quietly tells Rob not to be so hard on Katie to be the messenger for the boys. Camilla adds she doesn’t have the strength to do that but Rob thinks she has plenty of strength in her mouth and can’t be picky about when she wants to assert it.

Katie goes into the diary room, and comments the room smells like oranges. She says today Jamie was very down.. but she thinks he’s out of it now, it will get better with the party. Today she realised she doesn’t like Rob, he’s very catty. “He’s… such a bitch!”.

Meanwhile in the bedroom Camilla tells Rob not the transfer his anger from certain people onto others. She suggests to isolate why he’s angry with some one and focus on that issue and try and find a way to bring it up, not take it out on other people. They have already discussed that there are people in the house who are over sensitive and the girls didn’t take it as an attack. Camilla says Katie is not the same… she’s a little sensitive.

Katie thinks that tonight or tomorrow Rob will go and have a bitch to everyone about her and/or Jamie.

Camilla says that three different people have told her the more they get to know Katie the less they like her. Camilla doesn’t agree with that however. Rob says that the more she hangs around with Jamie the less people like her. Camilla reminds him again not to transfer his anger so everyone, including him can have a better time.

Katie doesn’t want to let Rob “win” and get the better of her. She knows she’s a better person than him and thats enough for her… “I win”.

BREAK

6.24pm – Big Brother has given the housemates animal costumes.

John is a crocodile
David is a lorrikeet
Camilla is a lobster
Gaelan is a panda
Claire is leopard
Krystal is a butterfly
Rob is a gorilla
Katie is a kangaroo
Ashley is a chicken

The housemates go into the living room and find the food. They organise what they will eat first. They go to the BBQ and find all the “meat” is actually vegetarian. In the kitchen Camilla says to Katie she was in a bad mood earlier this week. Katie doesn’t think so – she was in a neutral mood. Camilla admits she is difficult to live with… but is cut off by Katie, who says she’s never met so much as difficult that she’s loved so much as Camilla. Camilla hugs her. Katie says its the most positive thing – she is drawn to Camilla “so much!”. Camilla hugs her again and says she really cares about Katie a lot. She hopes Katie isn’t evicted. They toast to themselves.

They move into the bedroom. Katie says on the outside things will move back to the way they used to be with guys – she has never been dependant or put herself on the line with guys. She doesn’t want things to change back. Camilla says once you go through something like this you won’t fall back into the same pattern as before. Camilla says Katie is the same as her only 2 or 3 years ago. Katie jokes “so I’m going to be an outspoken lobster in a few years time?”.

9.14pm – Claire tells all the housemates to act like the animals they are. The housemates all jump around like animals. Katie’s costume starts falling apart after the housemates jump around on her and bits lie everywhere. Rob’s gorllia impersonation is really accurate until Gaelan knocks him over.

Day 55

9.25pm – John and Claire run to the rewards room. Claire is excited and says she hasn’t been there in a long time. It’s Claire’s birthday. They quickly head towards the food – there is noodles, rice, meat and salad. Jamie and Katie are in the main house bathroom, and go into the sauna. They say the games were so close and Jamie almost had it. He lost the game when he had to whinge about Krystal as one of the Friday night games. Katie says it would have been easy to whinge about her: face, boobs etc.

David comes to the diary room. He says there is a sick little side of him that is thinking he knows two really deserving people to go into the rewards room and didn’t want Jamie and Katie to go into the rewards room.

In the bedroom Claire comments to Rob that Katie was giving Jamie too high a score as part of the Friday Night Games. Krystal compares it to her: she gave Gaelan a 3 becuase it was a fair score. Claire was annoyed at Katie’s score bias. Camilla is so glad Krystal is being truthful because she’s sick of people bullshitting in the house.

10.01pm – John and Claire eat and chat. Claire says she’s really comfortable with John and Krystal in the house. However if she needs to have a talk she will go to David, because he always has a story to tell. She can always laugh with Rob, he’s hilarious. She’s comfortable around Gaelan but you can’t really sit down and chat with him – its always about a prank or something like that. “He’s too into himself… guys who are just like him, like constantly concerned with his body shape.. he’s way too metro for me”. She doesn’t think Ashley is too bad – although he does care a little bit. Ever since she told him he looks good clean shaven he’s always done it, and now he cares about his hair. John says the gay guys in the house really like Ashley. Claire recalls a story when Rob went all fluttery when Ashley had just been in the room.

The straight boys Jamie and Ashley are in the sauna, and discuss Katie. They don’t think she will be evicted. Jamie says it will be a toughy. Ashley says if one of them left the other would want to go the next week. Jamie thinks it will be him this Sunday. He looks uncomfortable.

11.15pm – John asks Claire if she’d rather the 3 box prize or immunity. She says the chance at the box prize. John chooses box number 3. Claire says thats the number she would have picked. Big Brother confirms. Inside is a camera. John is all happy and Claire is happy for him.

BREAK

11.58pm – Jamie and Katie are in the living room. They have idle discussion about one of them leaving this Sunday. Jamie says there is a standard rule thats going to apply to this: they’re going to have to talk about their relationship on the outside because comparing the BB house to life in Perth is “chalk and cheese”. Katie doesn’t know what he’s talking about exactly: Jamie clarifies its going to be really different outside because they won’t be hanging around each other every day. Jamie thinks they should try it on the outside before anything else. He’s going to wait until they are on the outside together to see what happens – he’s not going to run amuck before then. He’s not going to fuck anything up until she’s out… then they will talk about it.

Jamie: I think you’ll be here for ages

Katie: Trust me I wont

John and Claire are in the rewards room, having a bath together. He asks her opinion on the Jamie/Katie issue. She thinks there are quite a few people upset with the couple. She explains her earlier concerns about Katie rating Jamie during the friday night games. However Claire says it was other people (doesn’t name anyone) who had these concerns, not her. She relays her thoughts about the couple but attributes them to “people around the house”, not herself. It doesn’t really matter because John agrees with everything Claire says. John thinks out of all the people the house has given the couple sufficient time to adjust to their nomination. Claire was dissapointed with their reaction to the nomination annoucement.

Jamie says to Katie that the people remaining in the house after them are “pretty shithouse”. He adds that Gaelan, John and Ash are special people, but no one else is. He doesn’t want to hang around with the other people, and says he will be nominated next week if he is not evicted this week. He reiterates his assurance of being evicted sooner rather than later. Katie says “oh well”.

12.22am – Claire and John are playing around with John’s camera. Big Brother annouces happy birthday to Claire. She cheers and runs around outside. Some of the other housemates go and give her a birthday hug. Claire shakes a bottle of champagne, then pops the cork while John takes a picture. The group take some photos.

Oops – Jamie’s bulge needs to be censored out in the camera photo.

Day 54

9.46am – Jamie is infront of the goal. He stretches around, a ball shoots, he jumps for it but misses. The girls notice from inside the kitchen. Krystal has noticed the shots are so much harder for the guys – they are faster and shot into the corner and the girl’s balls are just shot into the centre. Camilla says if they lose the task she will go on a hunger strike next week. She then goes backoutside and asks the boys about the hard shots. Another ball shoots out to the side and Jamie JUST pushes it away from the goals. Gaelan claps and congratulates him.

Rob and David are having a chat in the bedroom. Rob asks how long David expects to be in the house. David doesn’t know. Rob is saying his five weeks in the house feel like forever – every single minute is chewying him up. David knows what he’s talking about, and wonders if he’ll leave a hole in the house. Rob says he definately will. Rob thinks everyone would get uptight. David is starting to think he really doesn’t want to go this week. Rob says he should have thought of that earlier (when he took 3 points of Ashley). David says it wouldn’t have changed anything if he took the points off himself.

Katie and Ashley are playing a game in the living room where Katie has to “catch” a purple dot on Ashley’s boardshorts. They scream and laugh.

David says to Rob he would really like some peace and quiet around the house, but doesn’t think its possible. While the discussion happens Katie and Ashley run around the bathroom. When they are gone David says it would be really good if Katie left the house – people would change. They are all saying she’s a cool chick but they think it would be for the better if she left. Katie and Ashley finally finish their game and apologise to the boys lying in bed for the noise.

BREAK

12.12pm – Rob is infront of the goal. Big Brother annouces their time defending the goal is now over. The housemates all cheer. However the task is not over – they must still take dives when they hear the ref’s whistle.

Camilla comes to the diary room. She has the family discussion on her mind. Specifically Jamie and Katie’s reactions to her questioning them dealing with nominations. Claire says Katie got emotional but she’s been acting like a bear with a sore head – throwing around sayings like “I’m definately going to go”, but to wish your time away in the house is crazy.

Meanwhile the nominated couple are in the sauna. Jamie says he wants to spend lots of time with Katie – if one of them is going does he make it less hard and spend less time with her or does he go all out and hang out with her all the time?

Camilla says it has been an emotional journey this whole time for her – she thought she had been kicked out in the first week (revenge room eviction) – she has been at the low end of the pecking order this entire time.

Jamie say she’s no longer Mr. popularity in the house anymore and its allowed him to express another side of his personality. Thats how he is if he’s surrounded by people he likes.

Camilla says she has grown up a lot in the house and without people trying to butter her up all the time and not being the pretty girl, all the outside influences… “this is me… pretty plain and simple”. When she gets home this is going to change her life a lot because there are things she’s not happy with her life – she has cheated on all of her partners (she gets teary). She doesn’t want to do that every again, she is really proud of being in the house and what she’s accomplished as her own person. When she gets home she doesn’t think she will be as easily influenced by other people. At the same time she’s feeling bad she upset Katie and the effect it could have on the rest of the house.

BREAK

3.29pm – Ashley and Gaelan are in the pool. Gaelan is wrestling with his floaty thong, pretending its a crocodile. He punches it a few times.

Jamie comes to the diary room (argh again!). This time he has cleaning on his mind. Jamie says Rob goes to sleep crying because he wants Jamie cleaning things, and then wakes up and says “goodie, things to clean!”. Jamie says he likes things not clean – he likes dust. He recognises he might be immature in that right, but he likes the way he is. If Jamie is evicted because of issues with cleaning dishes, he will look back and laugh, and say “awesome”.

5.10pm – Rob is chatting with Camilla in the living room. Camilla says theres no way she’ll let problems grow – she will weed things out. Rob says there are no distinct problems he can stop because what he has problems with he can’t change, so he will have to be tolerant.

Meanwhile in the living room the boys (minus David) are throwing placemats around.

Camilla says to Rob that the younger, majority group has changed – the tables have turned and its funny to see that group have now changed and they don’t like it.

In the living room Katie jokes she will throw water on John. He says ‘go on’ but doesn’t think she’ll do it. She does. John then spits water back at David.

Camilla is disgusted. She exclaims she’s so glad she wasn’t over there in that group.

5.39pm – Krystal says to Claire that Jamie and Katie are back to normal. Claire still isn’t impressed however – their reactions to nominations were inexcusable and they just used excuses. Claire likes Katie but only in small doses. They both agree Jamie is a little oblivious with Katie’s shortcomings.

BREAK

5.54pm – The boys are playing around in the backyard. Ashley and John have a pillow fight.

Inside Claire says Ashley is funny. Krystal thinks he’s weird and doesn’t know what to talk about with him. Claire was the same for the first four weeks – his humour was different and he was withdrawn, but now he’s screaming etc. Claire thinks he lacks confidence but draws off other people – he’ll jump in when its his turn but won’t initiate things. Claire says she should be a psychiatrist. Krystal and Claire do situps.

David and Camilla are in the sauna talking about the nominated couple. David says he can’t understand them at all. Camilla thought she’d have to comfort Katie today, but didn’t. She stands up for what she believes – she is against their behaviour. David wonders why people aren’t saying what they think. Camilla says its because of Katie – she has proven herself unapproachable, and did have a strong social force behind her in the house, in the past. David says he’s much older, but Jamie and Katie have each other so they have an advantage in the house. Camilla says she continues to speak her mind not because she’s causing confrontation because she speaks what she believes.

6.12pm – The housemates have a jumprope outside with the garden hose. David runs through it without jumping, provoking lots of yelling from the other housemates.

Jamie goes inside and lies on his bed, alone.

Meanwhile Rob is jumping lots in the jumprope – they’re now doing double dutch.

Katie joins Jamie, who is sulking. She says they are jump roping. Jamie mopes, saying “why are they finding that exciting? thats not exciting”. Jamie tells Katie he’s tired and just wants to lie down. He continues to say the skiprope is boring.

Meanwhile all the other housemates are having a great time jumping.

Later in the night Rob fidgets around his bed, getting annoyed. He screams out, which is met by laughter from the other housemates. He says he needs sleep, sugar, oil and something deep fried. He’s sick of eating pee-stuff and “fart berry soup”. “I’m sleep deprived!!! I’m hot and cold, and this bed is an egyptian coffin!”.

Day 52

10.38am – The punishment room is full of soccer balls. Claire is cleaning the kitchen, and says this is the reason she won’t have kids – humans are so friggen messy. We’re the only animal who doesn’t clean up our own space, its disgusting.

11.51am – The housemates are given their weekly task. There is a soccer goal in the backyard, which housemates must defend around the clock. Big Brother can shoot soccer balls at it at any moment. Additionally there must be at least one person with the goalie at all times as their “number 1 fan”. The housemates are called into the garden to find the goal – there is a split reaction. The boys mostly like the task however the girls are weary. They vote to wager 100% on the task – Krystal doesn’t want to, but Camilla eggs them all to take a chance.

Later in the kitchen Camilla tells Katie to spend some time with the rest of the housemates – since she’s been so isolated. Katie says she will later, she just has to wash her face. Jamie walks past them without saying anything. Camilla says to Krystal “boy they’re really cheery aren’t they?”. It’s been Camilla’s 3rd attempt to chat with them. Krystal comments she doesn’t have the energy to try.

Ashley is infront of the goals, with Rob being his number one fan. Rob sings out a crowd chant while Ashley dances in the goals.

Katie and Jamie are talking in the bedroom. He says he can tell the bad people from the good – and its only been good people leaving each week. Katie is finding it hard to talk to the other housemates and be nice about it because they’re being fake. “Claires not even talking to me”. Rob doesn’t bother… “its like being picked on in school”. Katie jokes they are the losers of the house. Jamie says he knows.

Claire asks Ashley if she can be his cheerleader. Rob jokes “imaging if it threw eggs at you instead”.

Inside Katie tells Jamie they should stop sulking. Jamie says they should have fun. Katie can’t have fun when no one likes her. Jamie is used to being liked, and thats whats getting to him – Katie comments she is the same. Jamie describes it as “a new feeling… a new, nasty feeling”.

BREAK

12.36pm – Ashley is still infront of the goal posts. Gaelan points out a gap where Ashley isn’t defending so well, so Ashley re-positions. Rob says not to worry – his supporters look good, they’re looking nice in a hat (Rob is talking about himself), and Ashley’s hair looks great. Suddenly a soccer ball shoots towards the goal and hits the net. Claire is shocked at how fast the balls are shot towards the goal. She goes inside and tells Krystal and Camilla how fast the ball was. Ashley continues to guard the goal (and dance) while Rob chants.

Katie comes to the diary room. She says last night she got upset, and thought “why am I getting upset? everyone has to go through it”. She has been lucky to go through it. Then she had her angry “screw it” attitude. Then her sulky time as well.

Outside Jamie thinks Katie is talking to Big Brother about leaving. He considers leaving the house too, and explains this to John. He grabs the house rule book to read the pages on leaving the house. John asks why he’s doing this – Jamie replies because the house is shit – “everyone left is shit”. John says “thanks mate”.

Katie proposes she had a choice over who would be evicted out of Jamie and her – she would pick her. Jamie hopes Katie isn’t “doing anything stupid”. Jamie tells John about his theory that Katie wants to leave. John says fair enough they are pissed off but they shouldn’t leave – they have lasted this long and thats an indicator of how highly they are looked upon. Jamie understands what John is saying, but says its like your best friend leaving the house.

In the diary room Katie says there is no way Jamie is leaving the house this Sunday. She would rather go than have Jamie go – because he has so much to offer. BB asks if there is anything else she wants to talk about. There isn’t, so she leaves the diary room. Outside Jamie asks what her visit was about. Katie says it was about nominations and evictions.. “because I already have 2 strikes”.

BREAK

5.59pm – Jamie comes to the diary room. He wants to have a chat about the things on his mind, specifically Sunday. He says this Monday if there was any chance of being nominated it would be that. He says his real friends have been slowly kicked out of the house and he doesn’t have anyone to turn to.

Over the dining table, Katie asks why there wasn’t enough bread over the weekend. Rob said it was because of the last baker – they had to use bread for normal loaves, apple crumble and other misc. items. David tells Katie to forget about it because it’s backpeddling. She’s ok, and comments Jamie has been in the diary room a long time. David jokes this is the first opportunity he’s had to bitch about Katie. Katie says he wouldn’t dare.

However Jamie is crying in the diary room. He says he’s met so many cool people in the house and he couldn’t have done any of it without Katie and John and Dino. As soon as Dino left things caved in for him. He gets annoyed, saying he never cries at home, he hasn’t cried in ages. He’s had a couple of breakdowns in the house. He doesn’t want to be angry or upset and he has been put out of his comfort zone and this is how he’s reacting. Big Brother says he can always come to the diary room to talk about how he’s feeling. Jamie leaves just after grabbing a tissue.

Claire is at the goal nets and Rob explains to her that he’s worried the bread questioning before was going to start something hostile. He comments she was kinda out of line questioning him without any evidence. Claire agrees. Rob says if he has to take people down a peg in the house if he has to, he will.

Meanwhile Katie is updating Jamie inside on the bread questioning.

Claire tells Rob “their” (Katie and Jamie’s) attitudes have totally changed for the worse once they found out they were nominated. John comments they are just dealing with it in their own way. Suddenly a ball shoots at the goals and Claire touches it with her hands, but it hits the net.

BREAK

7.01pm – Jamie and Katie are lying together in bed. Meanwhile Camilla and Rob are discussing them while lying in the hammock. Camilla just wants them to stop – they are whinging for nothing, and everyone else knows what its like to be nominated so why should they make a big deal about it. Camilla adds they aren’t really losing each other if one of them is evicted anyway. Rob says its going there will be bigger problems on the outside for them. Family will be a big hurdle for Katie, if they continue the relationship outside the house, because of lifestyle, statures etc. He thinks family wise they aren’t too different but whats expected from the parents is very different.

Camilla says the dirty pissing is pissing her off because Jamie (the kitchenhand) hasn’t cleaned the kitchen at all. Gaelan doesn’t like the dishes just sitting there. Rob says if people here had basic social etiquette people would clean up so they could all enjoy themselves more. Jamie is loitering around the kitchen talking to Katie, and there are a few close up shots of dirty dishes and benches. They both say they want to leave the house, and are doing so much damage just by moping around. They think as long as they stay in the house they will continue to do this. Jamie says this has been the hardest week ever.

11.39pm – As part of this week’s task every time the housemates here a referees whistle they must “take a dive” (pretend to be injured) and plead with Big Brother for a penalty shot. The whistle sound plays. Most of the girls are in bed and immediately hop onto the floor for their dives. John decides to stay in bed while doing his. David and Camilla are outside, Jamie and Katie are in the kitchen, Gaelan is in the blue bedroom. They all call out for a free kick. Afterwards Claire comments that took forever.

11.56pm – Katie is in front of the goal posts. A soccer ball shoots out and Katie manages to block it. Jamie says if he keeps moping around like he has he doesn’t stand a chance of surviving eviction. The two then ask John if people have been talking about them. John says they have been – but they weren’t bitching. He doesn’t want to say names but they force it out of him – it was Claire. Jamie knew it would be her. Katie says Claire has been avoiding her all day. Jamie is “as sure as sure can be” that either Jamie or Katie will be evicted.

Day 51

12.53pm – Camilla and Katie are in the bedroom. Katie explains she is worried about nominations – she thinks she will be up this week. “Oh well… nothing you can do”. The two of them lie together and Camilla has noticed the house is getting smaller but there are groups forming. Camilla and David have difted apart and Rob has taken his place. She feels she can’t vent with David anymore because he struggles trying to see her point of view. Rob joins the girls on the bed. Camilla thinks there are people in the house she can’t live with. Rob jokes she can’t live with that girl Katie – well maybe not so jokingly – he says her mess is driving him mad. Katie acknowledges she is quite messy. Rob asks her to dress up a little more in the house. Katie totally agrees she has to nip this in the ass – “no mess, no mess!”.

Outside Jamie says he’s getting very stressed in the house. Krystal and John don’t think so – they see the Big Brother house as a holiday.

Camilla and David are cleaning up in the bathroom. Ashley has been irritating David big time because of his antics which result in breakages. He also thinks Ashley is hypocritical because he complains about childishness but then does it himself. David will definately talk to both Ashley and Katie about this problem.

BREAK

3.19pm – The boys are playing cricket in the backyard with makeshift items such as a pillow and ornamental ball. Camilla and David have been told to cut the grass in the backyard with nail clipers as punishment for Camilla helping David with his cleaning task (only he may do it). They comment to each other they are concerned about where the makeshift cricket ball is going to end up. Just as they say this the ball is hit very close to them, and they duck down. Jamie comes over and they tell him they are worried about the ball. David is more confronting – he asks why Jamie keeps on going with his antics which keep breaking things in the house. He has struggled to understand why the boys have no respect for property and just keep going with it. David says its something you can get away with when you are a child because you don’t understand the value of property, but the housemates are old enough now to comprehend it.

Jamie asks if this is a personal thing – but David replies he’s asking Jamie now because Jamie is right infront of him. Jamie says there is a risk factor, and the factor makes it funny. Jamie doesn’t see the risk being too great in the Big Brother house.

8.30pm – The nominees this week are David, Ashley, Katie and Jamie. The nominees laugh and Camilla exclaims how glad she is, and then apologises but is just happy for one week she doesn’t have to worry about being nominated. David is called to the diary room. He picks Ashley because he’s a decent person and David has appreciated that and prefers to see him stay as possible. BB asks why he isn’t taking the points off himself. David replies only a jerk would do that. The new nominees are David, Jamie and Katie. Katie is shocked. Ashley asks why David took the points of him. Katie adds it was so nice. Krystal says he is full of surprises.

Ashley goes outside and is upset David didn’t take the points off himself. This is because Ashley nominated David for 1 point. Gaelan comes over and tells Ashley that David just wants to leave the house. Ashley is obviously upset, and gets teary-eyed. “Words couldn’t express how much gratitude I have for him… I feel like a dog”. Ashley goes back inside and thanks David again, but wonders why David did what he did. David says he will find out when he eventually leaves the house, they can’t talk about it now.

Katie and Jamie are in the bathroom. Katie says she doesn’t really have a problem with being nominated but can’t look the other housemates in the eye any more. Jamie doesn’t know what to think, he is obviously dissapointed about being nominated.

BREAK

8.41pm – Jamie, Katie and John are in the spa. Jamie is very annoyed and says that Camilla Rob and David are grouping together and are the main cause of them being nominated. John says at this point of the game its easy to vote strategically. Katie says she knows exactly her reasons for being nominated – her messyness and she just isn’t fitting in at the moment. Katie says there are two sides going on in the house now. Jamie says he’s tried to get along with Rob but it just doesn’t happen. He says Rob’s character is very sneaky and a bitchy person. Jamie knows Rob nominated him because Rob couldn’t look at him afterwards.

Jamie says there are three groups – them, the girls and the gays. The girls and the gays have banded together according to Jamie to vote out their group. John was suss about Claire. Big Brother calls all three of them to the diary room. Meanwhile in the sauna Gaelan and Ashley wonder why they are getting in trouble. To pass the time they start air guitaring and banging the water bucket as a drum.

In the diary room BB tells the trio it is the most fundamental rule of Big Brother that housemates vote without influence or collusion. BB tells them they have broken the rules and thus cheated. They have given themselves an advantage. They should all be embarrassed. Their behaviour shows a lack of integrity. They are all awarded a strike each. They leave the diary room. Katie says they have been the naughtiest couple ever. The three don’t seem to worried about the strike at all.

Jamie: I wouldn’t donate a rat’s ass.

Big Brother announces to the entire house that three housemates have just been awarded a strike for nominations talk. The three are in the living room laughing. Jamie looks annoyed,

Krystal notes that Jamie and Katie now have two strikes – she feels so goodie two shoes.

BREAK

10.11pm – Jamie and Katie are in a hammock outside. Jamie says if Katie leaves the house he doesn’t want to be there anymore. Katie says if he goes, she’ll go, and vice versa. Jamie says he thinks he’ll be the one who goes, so he doesn’t want Katie to go. He would rather go and then still be able to watch her. Katie notes that whoever goes will have attention from the sexes when they leave the house. Jamie asks why he would have attention from guys – Katie jokes he already gets it in the house. She then expresses her concerns for the girls who would give Jamie attention on the outside, and in the other scenario the possibility of hot intruders coming in. Jamie says if he was watching from the outside and Katie was hit on by hot guys he would know she’d tell them to back off.

11.59pm – David asks Katie and Jamie about their nominations. They both thought they’d be up. Jamie says Gaelan and Ashley have sorta been off on their own and if there are people in their group people would have picked on it would have been Jamie and Katie. Katie begins talking about how she thinks she was nominated because of her uncleanliness. Big Brother interrupts and fines Katie for discussing possible nomination reasons.

Katie: Drilled, so drilled! This has been a great night.

BB then fines Jamie. He doesn’t seem to care. Katie recaps: a nomination, a strike and a $5000 fine each in one night.

Katie: This has been the best night of my life!

Gaelan comments in the bedroom the couple must be taking their nomination pretty harsh and spiteful if these strikes and fines are happening. Claire says it shows the lack of maturity levels.

David: Cheeky little bastards.

Day 47

9.27am – David is leading the aerobics this morning. Some of the moves include “sheer the sheep”, “milk the cow” and “lay the egg”. Again Ashley is jumping around for amusement, and needs to be brought into line by David. Its not long before the housemates are exhausted, and David leads them through some breathing before wishing Danielle happy 19th birthday.

Camilla gets annoyed with Katie leaving a wet towel on her bed “she’s useless – I ask her every single day and she doesn’t do it”. Krystal says she’s probably just forgetful. Camilla wonders if people would be more relaxed in the house if she wasn’t there because she’s always complaining. She comes to the conclusion its not always complaining – just saying what she thinks.

Krystal is making the beds as part of her job role – and says Jamie and Katie are the worst housemates – they are the messiest, leaving things all around their bed. Rob says they’re like the messy kids.

1.39pm – Camilla is lying in bed and Katie comes to offer her lunch. Camilla declines, saying she doesn’t feel attractive at all. She doesn’t want anyone to think she’s a sook.

The housemates all have lunch and John asks if it was a good birthday lunch. Katie says for Dani’s birthday they should clap every time Danielle walks past. Dani goes to put her plate in the kitchen, and returns to clapping. The HMs wonder where Camilla is. Meanwhile Camilla is teary in bed and goes to hide under the covers. Danielle brings her some soup, but Camilla says she’s not hungry, although appreciates it. When Dani returns to the dining table she gets more claps.

Camilla: Stop crying

BREAK

5.14pm – Camilla is putting makeup on in the one-way glass. Suddenly a crew member jumps up at the glass in a skeleton suit. Camilla jumps back scared with her mouth wide open. All the HMs groan “Camilla!”. Krystal notes it was the same guy who jumped up at her. Camilla says thats now 3 black marks against her name.

7.11pm – The HMs are treated to a horror themed party for Danielle’s 19th birthday. They all have halloween costumes. All the housemates get excited with the food and candy. They toast to Danielle’s birthday.

Later in the night Camilla and David continue their tiff about whether its right to stockphile food. They exchange bickering.

David: If you’re sick and tired of polite people, I’m sick and tired of being polite.

Camilla says David was the one who started it. Claire reminds them who is housekeeper tonight (Krystal).

9.34pm – Housemates are in the living room talking about kissing each other. John tells Danielle (again) he won’t be put in a position where he might upset his friend (Dino). They are a little drunk.

Meanwhile Gaelan tells Krystal he overheard a conversation she had about a guy she found attractive on the outside. Gaelan then wondered if what he’s doing is wrong – he might be upseting her life on the outside. Krystal doesn’t think thats the case.

David tells John he’s an admirable gentleman about the Danielle issue. After John leaves the living room, David tells Danielle that John is very attracted to her – and he’s a gentleman – he chose the best possible path for all of you.

Danielle: With all due respect I’m nobody’s lunch… nobody’s lunch.

David: Good on you

Danielle: Thanks Dave

BREAK

10.38pm – Krystal wants to continue her conversation with Gaelan so she can relax. They move into the girls bedroom for some privacy. Gaelan feels nervous. Krystal sits him down and says she admits feeling something for some one before coming into the house, and told them she wanted to be with them later on. She’s come into the house and started to question what she really felt because she cares about Gaelan. She doesn’t jump on things if it doesn’t mean anything. Gaelan say she doesn’t have anyone in his life so its no problem for him. What concerns him is that Krystal will get involved with him and then realise she’s made a mistake because of some one on the outside.

Krystal asks Gaelan if they could see each other outside the house. Gaelan says initially, no. No moreso he does. To a degree they don’t even know each other but to a degree they do. He’s never been a relationship where he’s lived with some one for seven weeks straight. He knows the living for seven weeks side of Krystal and thats what he likes. He thinks that if he’s already done the hard side of the relationship it is going to be easy on the outside. They kiss before joining the rest of the housemates.

The housemates are about to have a discussion when Danielle talks without her microphone. She is fined $5000 and called to the diary room. Inside Danielle says “I’m such an idiot”. BB tells her it might be her birthday but the rules don’t change. Dani says everyone was in a rush and she forgot it accidentally. She is ordered to the punishment room where she must clean dirty dentrues. Danielle is disgusted.

The blind to the punishment room opens and John says its really harsh. Rob jumps up at the glass and starts yelling “look! they’re dentures!”. He’s obviously drunk. Jamie, David, Camilla and Rob go to the diary room to ask if they can take Danielle’s place so she can have her birthday with her friends. BB says that Danielle broke the rules, it wouldn’t be fair if they swapped. Danielle says he disagrees. He won’t be discussing this issue anymore.

Danielle continues to clean the dentures.

BREAK

11.41pm – Danielle continues. David is annoyed Rob didn’t support their cause to take Danielle’s place, and lets his thoughts known to Rob in the bedroom. Rob says David has a habit of digging his own grave and he was there to stop it, and he doesn’t want David blowing off hot steam at everyone. David says he was making them feel bad that Rob was be-littling his cause. Rob says Danielle can look back and have a giggle about it.

Danielle is scrubbing teeth and singing a song, very well infact:

Why can’t he just let me go?
My little Big Brother Oh,
Big Brother Oh, Oh, Oohh
These teeth are so god damn gross
Why can’t he
Let me go?

Back in the bedroom:

Rob: Was what I did wrong?

David: Unequivably, from my point of view, it was wrong.

Rob: Ok we’ll just leave it like that then

David: Well I’m going to say to you, please, if I’m going into the diary room and you dont agree with whats being said, just dont agree with it so loudly.

Rob: You can do whatever you want darling, I’ll let you be when you go anywhere near the diary room.

David: Thankyou.

Rob goes into the bathroom. David is left on his own and looks a bit flustered. Danielle seems not too bothered about her punishment, telling her “darling” dentures to have a bath.

Later in the bedroom Rob talks to Camilla about what happened earlier:

Rob: It’s a 19 year old’s birthday in the Big Brother house. She’s not going up for captial punishment. She’ll have a laugh and a giggle about it later. And if Big Brother wants to negotiate he would only be belittling himself and his authority, and if it was outside of the house the law would dictate the same. Respect the fact that rules and regulations have been put into place. Mother Teresa (David) wants to go and make a big heroic thing out of it. I’m not going to sit back and do nothing and then wait till be voted to come in… but when you offer your own reputation for some one else’s purely for the good heartedness of it, you’ll end up in life being chewed up and spat out.

Camilla says its like David does it out of matardom.

Big Brother releases Danielle from the punishment room. She says she was quite proud of her scrubbing job.

Camilla and Rob continue: Camilla used to love David but now she is annoyed by him. Rob says he’s being a bitch and David is making him feel bad for it. Rob adds that David is trying to be the Mother Teresa for the gay world, but its not going to happen – “he can’t save the world”. Camilla agrees.
