In the morning there is rubbish and lollies everywhere. Sam leads the cleanup effort. Bradley jokes with Angie that they are basically “the third couple in the house” which she strongly denies. Michael is finishing lollies off the floor and eating them.

Sam comments that Josh and Michael haven’t done one thing to clean up and it annoys him. Stacey and Ben comment that Sam is on uber-clean mode and that he might be trying to outdo them: “he’s not winning any points in my book”.

Layla comes to the diary room to request some nail polish remover, because some of the housemates aren’t looking their best and it’s annoying her. “Pretty please!” Big Brother tells her “that won’t cut it” and that she must enlist support from her other housemates. She calls a quick meeting in the lounge room and announces that she wants to open a salon for the housemates called Salon-ala-Layla.

Cut to footage of various housemates pleading their case to Big Brother:

Michael: I think some of the female housemates aren’t looking their best at the moment and want to keep up with the boys. I would love to have an eyelash tint, a warm chocolate brown (he’s joking). Perhaps also a day mask to get these pores some air.

Angie: I’m hideous compared to what I was when I came in here. I’ve got regrowth, I don’t have a tan, my nails are gone, my lashes are gone. I’m a shadow of what I used to be.

Ben: I like to indulge and I’m high maintenance. You know how Michael was sort of like “yeah I don’t care”.. he really cares he’s a woman through and through.

Zoe: I really want fake lashes and have my nails painted because I’ve been growing them. I just want to be moisturised and cared for.

Sam: Happy Layla equals a very happy Sam.

Ava: I would love it, the best thing since roast pork which I don’t eat, so yeah I’d prefer the salon.

Stacey: Well, first point is that mine and a couple other people’s faces look like they’ve been trampled on by a horse.

Later on Angie says she’s going to eat her share of her food just before her eviction. Josh reminds her that she may not actually go. Bradley made that mistake and ate two blocks of chocolate and a tub of ice-cream at once. Angie wants them to know she’ll leave the house a happy woman but she does want to see a tear from every housemate on the next episode. Bradley is excused but he has to mope for a bit.

2.07pm – To pass the time Ben, Stacey, Bradley and Michael are pretending that the Big Brother house is an art gallery and they are the critics. They walk around judging everything. First is the outdoor seating area.

Michael: I like how they’ve juxtaposed the linear stripes with a perceived hexagonal clutter that shows how society can be structured yet chaotic at the same time.

Michael then says some very postmodern things about the outdoor television screen, calling it a “trapped box of doom”.

Bradley comments that the entry/exit door for evictions is a black tunnel and once you go through you cease to exist.

In the kitchen the group point out the shirtless lower income earner (Josh). It’s an honest representation of youth culture.

Ben: There’s a real cave man mentality here. (with a disgusted look on his face)

Later on they find “shirtless man” again in the bathroom showering. Josh doesn’t look very impressed, saying nothing and closing his eyes. They comment on Josh’s yearning to conform with society: “a sad sight”.

A bit later Michael comes to the diary room. He says he hopes Josh doesn’t sook around if Ava is evicted and “kiss a cabbage all day. It’s gotten ridiculous the amount of making out they’ve been doing. I’ve never seen anyone make out as much in my entire life”. Michael acts out a conversation he had with Josh where they started kissing mid-sentence. Michael was thinking “we’re having breakfast here stop eating each other!”

Michael goes on to say he doesn’t understand why Estelle is still in the house because all she does is act weird and not do much else. “I’m in a madhouse!”

Later on Ava asks Estelle how she’s feeling about the eviction. Estelle says she’s been nominated so much it’s become the norm and she only gets anxious in the last few hours. Ava is thinking about it more and she can feel herself pulling away from people.

9.03am – Big Brother is playing The Nutcracker to wake the housemates. Stacey gets up and dance, causing Delilah to get excited and wag her tail before Stacey accidentally bumps into Estelle while dancing.

Big Brother is putting on a talent show and all housemates must participate.

Ava and Josh must compose and perform a song.
Bradley and Angie are magicians (he jokes “I’m going to make you disappear Sunday night, to the laughter of everyone).
Estelle and Zoe are a circus act.
Ben and Stacey are dancers.
Sam and Layla act out the Romeo and Juliet balcony scene.
Michael will be host (the housemates joke it’s because he has no talent)

A bit later Bradley is testing a disappearing act – it’s actually Bradley crawling into the pizza oven. Michael puts the cover over and then grabs Josh to light the oven. Josh gets a shock when he pulls away the oven cover and finds Bradley gawking at him. He’s covered in chimney ash.

Stacey tells Layla the upcoming eviction could be weird for Ava if she goes, because she’s “attached to Josh like a clip on koala, like she hasn’t individualised as such”.

Angie is trying to get an answer from Josh about the Ava’s possible eviction and he deflects it entirely: “it is what it is”. She calls him out on giving blasé answers but then “good for you, bloody hell what can you do some one’s gotta go”. Josh isn’t very responsive.

2.17pm – Angie and Bradley are putting on their magician costumes and beginning to learn their tricks.

Layla is reading her Shakespeare script and asks Sam “what’s a montag?”

“Montage?”

Michael jumps in and figures out it’s “montagues” who are a family in the play. Sam thinks it’s all stupid.

Benjamin are practicing their dances in the bedroom.

Ava and Josh are in the gym coming up with some lyrics for their song. So far it’s:

“Hey Joshie how you been lately?”
“Not bad, what you thinking’ pretty lady”
(then something that rhymes with ‘crazy’, then they change it to ‘Stacey’)

Estelle is struggling to ride a unicycle.

Footage switches to the talent show in the evening.

Ben and Stacey come out first, wearing towels which they drop to reveal skin tight lycra suits (Ben’s is a female bathing suit). They’re dancing with small weightlifting dumbbells like Olivia Newton John’s music video “Lets get Physical”. All the housemates laugh and cheer. They then throw away the dumbbells and hand jive, then a hand stand flip and some more crazy dancing. It ends with some breakdance moves.

6.32pm – The next round of the talent competition is Josh and Ava. They clap the beat and sing. Needless to say it’s pretty terrible. The chorus is “ooooh oooh”.

Next is Layla and Sam. They do a pretty good job of reading their lines (from the script) and Layla is definitely better. The housemates all cheer at the end.

All the while Michael has been hosting between acts. He’s terrible.

Bradley and Angie are up next with their magic tricks. Bradley’s first trick with swapping some dice goes down terribly, but Angie picks up with a great stage presence when she reveals a magic colouring book. The housemates are all very impressed and cheer her.

The next trick involves a member of the audience (Stacey) placing a ball under a cup and Bradley will magically pick the right cup. Bradley picks up two cups and they’re both wrong, then he pushes all the cups off the table. Michael immediately starts laughing and shouting “that was the best, that was the best!” The housemates cheer anyway.

Next is Zoe and Estelle. Estelle announces “check out my wheels” as she “rides” a unicycle (she doesn’t actually ride it, she just walks it around saying “check out my pimped ride”. Zoe then throws a cream pie in Estelle’s face and she falls backwards. Stacey and Ben run to eat some of the pie that has fallen on the floor. The act goes downhill from there, with the audience yelling at them. Estelle then throws a pie in Zoe’s face, and the act ends with them both throwing pies in each other’s faces at the same time. Most of the housemates are looking quite bored.

Michael wraps up the talent show. Later on Angie is attempting to tell the housemates a story, but Bradley keeps interrupting her on purpose to annoy her. Eventually she can continue – the story is about her auditioning for the show, but while she’s talking Stacey comes up behind her and starts mouthing the same words and pulling crazy actions. As soon as Angie realises what’s going on she exclaims “oh.. I’m out!” and walks to the bedroom. Stacey follows her exclaiming “Frank!” (the name given to housemates who are having a tantrum).

Angie tells Stacey that it’s becoming a thing in the house where everyone makes fun of her. Stacey comforts her, and Delilah joins them, wagging her tail.

9:28am – The housemates are getting ready for the last day of the task in the Fake Factory. Big Brother warns Ava that she has two minutes to get ready – she’s not in her overalls yet and isn’t moving very quickly. The other housemates egg her on. Sam makes his way in to the Factory, where he must make peanut butter sandwiches. The rest of the house are drinking champagne and playing in the back yard.

11.18am – Sam’s shift is over and Big Brother tells him he can tell the rest of the housemates that their shift is over too. In the lounge room, the housemates hear him yelling to them. He opens Door 3 and sees there’s nothing behind it. “What’s going on?” Sam is accusing the rest of the housemates when suddenly the TV turns on and plays a package of Sam busy in the Factory while the rest of the housemates play in the back yard. “WHAT IS THAT!? IS THIS EVERY DAY”. All of the housemates are in hysterics. Shortly after, they learn they’ve passed this week’s task and will receive a luxury shopping budget.

Sam: I’m filthy.

Ad beak.

11.46am – Bradley and Angie are talking about the fun they had this week while Sam was in the Factory.

Angie: I would be so off it if I was Sam.
Estelle: I wouldn’t, I’d be like ‘we’ve got luxury food yayyyyy’
Angie: We’ve had luxury food all week. The food we’ve been eating this week I couldn’t care if I never ate them again in my life
Estelle: I need vegetables.
Angie: I’m pretty sure
Estelle: You’re the sugar fairy
Angie: I don’t think I am
Estelle: You are
Angie: I don’t think I am. I enjoy sugar.

Bradley and Angie leave to go to the kitchen to “make food” – it’s obvious they’re just trying to get away from Estelle. Angie immediately starts bitching. “I think she does that to bait me.” The two start complaining that she should stop eating vegetables and that vegetables aren’t snacks.

Layla and Sam are in the Diary Room. Layla asks if Sam was the one that burnt her hair rollers. Big Brother tells her that she should be concentrating on winning next week’s Captain’s Challenge.

1.23pm – Michael is playing with Delilah in the lounge room. In the kitchen, Ava and Josh are kissing.

Michael, Bradley and Benjamin are outside. Michael is telling the boys he wants to tell Josh that he’s no fun now that Ava has arrived. Meanwhile, Ava and Josh are kissing again over Josh’s breakfast bowl. Bradley is now talking to Stacey. He thinks it would be cool if there was a double eviction this week.

2.42pm – Michael is in the Diary Room where Big Brother explains that he has to make a decision: luxury food budget, or lower budget and new hair rollers and comb for Layla. He thinks that the house can survive on the lower budget, so he takes the rollers and runs off to the kitchen to hide them before gathering the rest of the housemates in the kitchen. He starts reading out a fake letter explaining that Delilah was left unattended four times, and that the budget is now $20 per head. The then tells her to open the kitchen hatch, where she finds new rollers and a new Louis Vuitton bag. All the girls scream.

Stacey has put on Estelle’s gangster outfit and gone to the Diary Room. “Estelle, have you seen Stacey today?”. Big Brother asks fake gangster Estelle what she will do if she gets evicted this week. She tries to rap a response.

Ad break.

7.41pm – Most of the housemates are in the kitchen, where Benjamin proposes a game of hide and seek. The housemates scatter while Benjamin counts. Some hide in terrible spots and others are more crafty – Michael has hidden above the door in the inside toilet. Bradley joins in the search and completely misses Michael.

Later, Michael, Josh and Stacey are gossiping in the toilet. Bradley tries to enter but they don’t let him. They all agree that it’s great now that Bradley isn’t following Josh around now he’s hitched with Ava. Meanwhile, Ava and Josh are whispering sweet nothings in the bedroom such as “I like you a lot” and “If you go, it’ll be the first person I actually care about.”

In the kitchen, Estelle and Angie speculate that Ava was on a task by Big Brother to sabotage this week’s task by not getting read quick enough. Angie then says that she thinks Estelle is on her own personal task trying to figure out Ava’s task for her own benefit.

Cue credits.

8.18am – Sam and Layla are up in the pirate ravaged Captain’s Quarters with bare essentials. Layla is not happy, saying “it’s ridiculous”, then calls Sam over for cuddles in a hammock.

Delilah is up and Big Brother wishes her good morning. The other couple – Josh and Ava are talking about last night. Josh admits that he felt bad when Ava was in the naughty corner and away from him, but alludes to her possibly being evicted. She doesn’t think she’ll go.. “nah”.

Zoe is wondering what would happen if Big Brother sends in an even hotter version of Sam – would Layla drop Sam and run towards him? Zoe wouldn’t be surprised. Angie wonders if Layla actually dropped George for Sam, and Zoe responds “yeah, of course”. Angie explains she tried to explain to Layla the public might perceive it badly but Layla got defensive every time (footage is then showed of various instances).

A little later housemates are called for work in the factory – a fake working area where only Sam must work. While he works the other housemates are treated to games and luxury food. They must not let Sam know. Today Sam must peel potatoes while the others play on a blow up bunny playground and are served chocolate fondue.

10.58am – Sam has been peeling potatoes for more than two hours. The other housemates are partying, particularly Ava and Josh who are making out quite furiously in front of the other housemates. Before long they’re all called to their individual working areas for the ‘working day’ to end. Sam is relieved of his duties followed one by one by the others.

Sam asks Ben “how many buckets did you fill?”. Ben doesn’t have any idea what Sam is talking about and says “um.. not many?”. When Ben catches on it was potatoes he says he had a green one and tried to eat it, to the disgust of Stacey. Josh fakes that he was getting sick of peeling potatoes, but Sam was fine with it.

A bit later some of the housemates discuss how they don’t like Ava. Ben wonders if Josh has realised “she’s a freak”. They’re all uneasy because at family dinner last night they asked her if she’s actually famous – she gave a very disjointed and airy answer. Basically everyone didn’t like what she was saying.

A little later Josh is explaining to Michael that he doesn’t care what people think and he just leaves the conversation when people say they don’t like Ava. Michael says in the diary room that he feels bad for putting Ava into a box and that he’s been negative about her. He realises he may have been just a jealous friend because Ava was taking so much of Josh’s time.

4.07pm – Angie is gushing over Sam being hot, a good cook and doesn’t complain about anything. She tells Stacey she thinks he knows more about them than he’s letting on.

Ben has been called to the diary room – inside he finds a mobile phone. Big Brother asks if Ben would like a video message from his partner. For the task he must take the mobile phone and carry out instructions which will be texted by Big Brother. He runs into the toilet to receive the first text:

Put on Ava’s best dress and jump into the pool

He leaves the toilet and tells Sam “I have really bad gas” before scouring the bedroom for Ava’s dress. Eventually he finds it and puts it on – he can’t zip it up because it’s too small. For some reason he then changes into another dress (he might have changed his mind of what “best” is). He goes outside and asks Ava “if we were to dress up as women tonight would this be your best dress?” She response “uhhh, yes”. Ava looks quite unimpressed. With confirmation that it’s the best dress, Ben runs and jumps in the pool. Michael cheers “you are looking fabulous” and Angie says “you are going to hell”.

In the evening Layla discusses how Sam is different to her last squeeze George – he’s more affectionate. Layla thinks her and George only did things because they were bored, but Sam is something more.

9.02pm – The girls are unhappy with Josh now that he’s been spending so much time with Ava: he’s no longer “fun Josh” and is always short with people.

It’s time for another text message mission for Ben. Again he runs into Sam by the toilet and explains he has lots of gas. The next mission is to arm wrestle Bradley. Afterwards he learns he has completed the tasks successfully and can watch a video message from his partner. His partner says “I miss you so much, I think about you every single day. I’m so proud of you and who you are as a person and I’m so glad to have you as my partner”. BB asks Ben what the message means to him

Ben: It means the world to me. I think I’m a little bit alone in the sense that I have an amazing partner in the outside world because none of the other housemates in here have what I have.

BB asks if he wants to show the housemates the video – he does. They all gather in the living room. Stacey, along with all the other girls can’t stop smiling while it plays. Afterwards everyone claps and screams.

10.37pm – Talk about Ava continues. Stacey is suspicious because Ava spent her first week only with Estelle and her second only with Josh. Stacey says “I’m off her!” Stacey is annoyed that Ava tells her that her humour is too sexual yet Ava makes out with Josh in front of everyone all the time. Meanwhile Ava and Josh are cuddling on the other side of the backyard. They exchange some soppy couple talk about how they’re on the same wavelengths.

Michael has come to the diary room – he’s guilty for destroying Layla’s hair rollers yesterday for a secret task. He asks what he can do to get new rollers for her. BB says he will get back to Michael.

Afterwards Big Brother announces there has still been too much swearing in the house. He then says “Michael.. your crown as being the most prolific swearing.. has been stolen. Sam report to the naughty corner”. Inside are a whole basket of onions and a box of tissues. He must slice them. Layla reminds him to not touch his eyes.

11.47pm – Sam is still slicing onions. Big Brother reminds him that he must “finely” chop the onions and that he has to start again. Sam yells out in annoyance.

A little later Sam resorts to saying sorry to Big Brother. BB then asks him how the onions are going, and lets him leave.

Layla gives him a congratulatory hug.

George has just been evicted. Bradley is very glad that’s still in the house and Estelle hugs some of the other girls.

Michael comes to the diary room. He says he’s frazzled because George was just evicted and it was his four point nomination that put him up for nomination this week. “I feel responsible for him going, it shows where voting strategically can bite you in the butthole. I knew everyone would vote for Estelle so I only gave her one point”. He adds that George had an overt macho thing going on and Michael doesn’t really like that. He thinks it’s a lesson on the other hand.

Zoe finds it weird because she was only just starting to get to know George and then he leaves the house. When first coming into the house she thought he was a bit of a babe but kept it on the inside. She was the one that told Layla to go for it with George and watched their relationship happen and it sucked.

Time for George’s farewell message:

Zoe – I always thought you were the most beautiful wonderful…. trivia! How smart are you Zoe.

Layla – Princess Layla, you’re a very sweet innocent girl and it’s funny to see you fire up one night but everyone is like that and you’re a very easy going confident girl so well done.

Michael – You are hilarious, I see myself as the alpha male but you’re a person everyone looks up to and respects. I know you’ll go far in life and I can’t wait to see you.

Everybody keep enjoying having a laugh and don’t think about what’s happening on the outside world. I’m just going to miss you all and I hope to catch up with you.

Ava is being punished for not wearing her microphone. In the naughty corner she finds a whole basket of dirty jockstraps which she must wash and hang to dry. Bradley jokes she can call them a “Josh-strap”. After the housemates have all gotten bored watching her wash the jockstraps it’s just Josh and Estelle waiting by the naughty corner.

Meanwhile Sam and Layla are cuddling under a doona. He asks her if them kissing will complicate anything. She doesn’t see why it would and says no. He clarifies that “this is just fun”. Layla understands. Sam see’s it going badly because “things like this will always go bad because there will always be some one who gets jealous”.

Josh eventually gives up and leaves the naughty corner, leaving Estelle. Ava whispers to her “I love you more!”.

Later on Zoe comes to the diary room and explains that it’s weird that Josh and Ava hooking up so fast is weird and it will mean Ava is targeted for nominations. Josh is aware of this as well and tells Michael in the kitchen that he’s a bit worried but will deal with it. Meanwhile Ava is telling Big Brother that she feels it has been pretty transparent that her relationship with Josh has not been strategic and that would not be a consideration of others during nominations.

Michael and Ben discuss the housemates – they agree that Bradley can be grating but he’s a nice guy and they now like him. They also want to be able to tell Estelle when she is saying things that don’t make sense. Ben predicts that Estelle has a good following outside the house.

Meanwhile Estelle is telling Big Brother that she is very happy she’s been saved from eviction so many times, but she predicts she’ll be nominated again.

Footage from the Sunday eviction show.

Michael has come to the diary room to talk about the housemates. He says Ava is a glass of warm water in a cocktail lounge. “I hear its great to break down the fats but afterwards you’ll be looking for a Mi-Ti. He says Sam is Ryan with more personality.

Ben has come up with a new term – “meepers”, these are people who talk for no reason and just say empty statements that add no value. He tells Stacey that he’s realised that almost everyone in the house is a meeper.

Layla and Michael are called into the diary room and inside they find a whole lot of takeaway fast food. They are ecstatic and dance around the room. The housemates all have a takeaway food party and Michael stuffs himself – he has to take off his shirt when he gets too full.

And that’s all we see for this day.
