Day 20

9.58pm – Michael and Ashley are in the rewards room. They toast to winner Mike. He cheers to his boy Ash “big man from WA”. Since tomorrow is mothers day the housemates propose a wedding between Jamie and Katie. Dino suggests they have a bucks night tonight. Back in the rewards room Michael says he thinks this will be the end of his journey – and goes on to tell Ashley about his fake son named Rueben and how he recently found out he’s no longer his father and there’s a custody battle going on. He adds that he’s been caring about Rueben for 8, nearly 9 years. His motto with Rueben was “we don’t quit, never quite”.

Jamie and Katie come to the diary room. BB asks them if they are nervous ahead of their big day. Kaite says she’s petrified and hopes she makes it to the alter. Jamie comments she shouldn’t be saying stuff like that infront of him. “Out of all the decisions I’ve made in my life this would have to be the most certain”.

Back in the rewards room Michael goes to pick one of his boxes. He chooses box number 3 – inside is a voucher to have his laundry done. In the main bedroom Katie tells Karen she is nervous about being with Jamie because he sees him looking Krystal, but Karen assures Katie her daughter wouldn’t go near him – “he’s not her type, I’m telling you now”. Katie felt like a fool when the two were staring at each other earlier. Karen doesn’t seem to think Krystal would look at Jamie that way, but Katie is positive she saw it.

Dino walks in and wants to know what the gossip is. Katie says she’s just having cold feet about the marriage.

BREAK

12.15am – Karen doesn’t want to be Jamie or Katie in this situation. Dino says he doesn’t like being around them – it makes him uncomfortable when they hug. He says they are going to be in the house a while the last thing he wants is conflict between the two because it would be a damper on the other housemates. Katie meanwhile is in the bathroom with Claire continuing to explain her Jamie paranoia. Claire reckons thats crazy and not happening at all. “Jamies only got eyes for you”.

Jamie is working out a surprise proposal method with John – they plan to use the diary room somehow. John goes to Katie and tells her she HAS to go to the diary room with him – so they go. Meanwhile Jamie rallys all the housemates to the lounge room to meet Katie when she comes back out. Jamie positions himself at the bottom of the stairs to the diary room.

Meanwhile Katie and John are asking Big Brother for chocolates. Big Brother says no. When Katie emerges from the diary Jamie walks up and asks her if she would marry him.

Katie: Maybe.. nah yes!

All the housemates cheer.

BREAK

1.05am – Katie and Jamie talk about their upcoming marriage. She is still worried about Jamie liking Krystal more than her because she’s a brunette and Katie is blonde. “You don’t kiss me, you look at others.. what would you think if you were me?”. Jamie says “I haven’t done anything… with all of these girls, you say I’m flirty, but I’m equally flirty with all of them”. Dino walks over

Dino: Jeez you listen well, you’d make a good wife. Hah hah!

Over the rewards room Michael and Ash talk about Krystal. Ash doesn’t think Krystal has any care of whats going on in the house – she’s never herself and she’s always got makeup on. Michael totally agrees. Her looks fade and her real personality shows through.

Jamie tells Katie to follow him to the toilet. Inside the toilet Jamie flushes the toilet so no one will hear them, and asks Katie again if she’s nervous about the Krystal thing. Jamie consulted John about it but John didn’t think he’d been flirting. Katie says “of course he’d say that!”. Meanwhile David and Camilla are sneaking up to the toilet door to listen in on whats happening.

In the toilet Jamie accidentally calls Katie Anna .. “oh you’re not Anna”. Katie calls out in frustration.

Katie: bad, bad, bad, bad, bad

Jamie: That was a bad… a little bit. This whole thing is wrong. This doesn’t happen when you’re outside this place.

Katie: Maybe we should have tomorrow for Claire and just leave it.

David and Camilla move away from the toilet door laughing silently. Jamie is annoyed that Katie might want to leave it, and goes to leave but Katie tells him to stay in talk. Jamie doesn’t know whats going on anymore everything is coming out of nowhere. He just needs time to sit by himself yet. “I haven’t done anything, this is crazy”. He leaves the toilet and Katie starts crying. He sits down outside and is shortly joined by Karen, who asks whats going on. Jamie has no idea how things got so complicated. He explains to Karen how she’s been accusing him of flirting with other girls. “My words weren’t good enough for her so I said screw it, you dont want to hear me talk”.

Katie is washing her face in the bathroom and Michael randomly says “I think its time for me to leave the house, I gotta get out”. He explains he has family stuff on the outside, and just keeps saying “I just think I gotta go”.

3.08am – Jamie is in the diary room. He doesn’t know what to do just yet but he will just step back and give them some space. He will let her know that when she’s ready he’ll be there, but he doesn’t know what he did to deserve this. Katie meanwhile is in the kitchen when Karen asks her how she’s going, and recommends she needs to go to sleep. “Stop thinking about thing so much”. Karen gives Katie a hug. Jamie tells BB he’ll let her come to him, “but when she’s ready”.

Day 19

4.08am – Housemates are up because of the dam task. Camilla comments to Jamie that Katie must have a really fast metabolism because she’s always starving. Jamie is tired and doesn’t really seem to care .. “Katie Katie Katie… she’s a good kid”. Camilla asks if he likes her… there is a delayed “um.. yeah”. He adds “of course I like her”.

Outside John has a plan to abandon the task – if they let a small crack out of the holes to let the water run away very slowly the housemates would never know it was John and Michael. He can’t believe he’s talking about sabotaging his own task.

Back inside Jamie explains Katie is a little scared of Anna and Krystal possibly having an interest in Jamie. Camilla finds that funny because Katie does more flirting with the boys than Jamie does with the girls. “You can definately tell she’s younger than you though”. Camilla says the flirting thing is proof of that. Jamie explains Anna is flirting with all of the guys because she needs them. Camilla adds that Anna just doesn’t have that raport with the girls and would rather hang out with the boys.

4.59am – Dino and Gaelan are at the water tank. Jamie is sitting closeby talking about Michael. He explains when he first Michael it was so full on – he re-enacts: “hey man! I like you! Lets go and look around the house together!”. The other two laugh. Gaelan agrees, and says he was asking so many questions, and so enthusiastic about everything. Dino jokes “socks! I have socks”, Jamie continues: “we have so much in common! Don’t tell me you eat food as well!”.

Gaelan: He’s drag everyone away for a one on one: “I haven’t had a one on one with you yet!” He didn’t get one with me, I made sure of that.

The other two start laughing loudly. Talk starts to get blokey and Gaelan talks about the sleeping arrangements when they first entered the house. He tried to bunk in with Krystal and/or Anna but they had both found bed partners already. Jamie comments the bed situation with Michael and Krystal fizzled out fast: the other boys but in: “she hates his guts now”.

Talk turns to Michael’s apparently “issues on the outside”. They don’t know whether to believe him. Jamie says Michael was using it as an excuse. Dino says the fact that he can’t release any details just makes a bigger deal than it is “and I know he doesn’t hate the attention”.

BREAK

8.34am – Ash and John are up to feed the animals. Michael and John are currently on the tank shift. Michael says if Krystal was evicted it wouldn’t be such a bigger deal than losing Camilla because Camilla doesn’t give a fuck. He adds that even though Krystal is good looking she doesn’t have much personality to offer. He then asks John if he agrees.

John: I do agree, but I would like to keep her in the house because she’s something good to look at.

Michael wants to see how the mother daughter pair would act if they were split up. He wants to see how their interactions with other people would change. Claire and Ash meanwhile continue with the animal feeding – there is a zoom in shot of a baby deer licking another baby deer’s behind… fascinating!

Back to the dam task and John questions Michael about his talks with Krystal. He says it wasn’t deep, but it was topical on the surface abotu where she lived. He adds it was all lies – none of it was interesting at all. Dino said to Micahel at the time “she’s not a good gameplayer she’s basically just using you” according to Michael. He reaffirms that Krystal is “playing the game”.

BB calls the farmhands back to the house. Claire comments the animals are growing so fast. The task is swapping over now, and this time it’s Krystal and Camilla. They wonder what will happen this weekend. Krystal has been looking at people and wondering “have you backstabbed me?”. Krystal would be upset if her mum or Camilla were evicted. Camilla says is the same with her.

12.33pm – Big Brother calls all housemates to the water tank. He annouces the task is almost over and the level the housemates must keep the water above is in the green envelope. John reads it – its the yellow marker. The housemates don’t understand they have passed the task until Big Brother announces it – and they immediately start cheering. They happily let the water drain out of the tank.

BREAK

8.29pm – Michael comes to the diary room for his daily reward. Inside is a packet of chocolate biscuits. Michael must consume the entire packet but cannot eat them in the diary room, toilets or sauna, and he must not get caught eating them. Michael immediately takes off his microphone and shirt and wraps the biscuits in the shirt, and walks out of the diary room, shirtless, and looking very obvious. No ones seems to suspect anything though. He puts on a new tshirt and jacket in the bedroom. John comes over and asks whats up – but Michael tries to shoo him with the excuse “I just need some time to think about stuff by myself… can you tell people to leave me alone for a little bit”. Michael takes his biscuits (now under a towel) outside, sits by the pool and starts eating them.

Inside Dino asks where Michael is and wants to know if he’s sleeping outside – he goes to check. John relays that Michael doesn’t want to be disturbed. Dino looks out the window. Michael is shoving biscuits into his gob very fast.

Dino: Man he is losing it fast. He hasn’t got any sleep, he’s got something else on his mind. If you’ve got a problem then don’t fuck around, you solve it. Don’t make other people miserable. He’s ruining the experience for other people by being depressed around us. He needs to get his head together.

Dino is now going around the house announcing that Michael is having a nervous breakdown. Most of the housemates discuss it in the bedroom – Claire says at least he’s been explaining why he’s acting so weird. However Krystal adds that Michael has been nasty every since he found out that Karen was her mum. “He can’t hook up with either of us now”.

Michael now goes to dispose of the biscuit packet – he does it while putting other garbage out. He yells out “ha ha! Too easy! Didn’t get me on that one!”. The garbage gets thrown over the wall.

BREAK

11.29pm – Anna says to Katie they are sleeping in the same bed tonight, but Katie jokes “you’re not big enough to spoon”. Anna says Jamie has had Katie all this time. Dino butts in and says “oh true intentions are coming out… she wants to steal the boyfriend”. Anna is determined to sleep with Katie tonight, and gets Katie to explain to Jamie she won’t be sleeping with him. Katie doesn’t want Jamie to sleep with Dino because Dino will be farting.

Dino goes directly outside and tells Michael and David what just happened. Michael ssys Katie never wants to upset anybody at all. Dino agrees “she avoids conflict, but this time she wasn’t trying to avoid she wanted to go to bed with Jamie”.

Dino: Anna was just being childish, something for attention. I think she’s not getting much attention in this house anymore.

Later

Dino: I figured her out I reckon. I don’t think she’s the most intelligent girl, I don’t think she’s the most mature girl – not having passed school. Very insecure about her body as well. She doesn’t have the skills to make people attract to her… She’s pretty weak, very weak mentally.

Michael says he agrees with everything Dino says. David however is nodding along but doesn’t look very convinced at all. Meanwhile Jamie and Katie are in the bathroom talking about Anna’s forced sleeping arrangements. Katie doesn’t want to move.

Jamie: She just wants to sleep on my side so she can smell me

Katie: Whatever! She wants to spoon me.

Jamie brushes his gums really hard and Katie says he shouldn’t do that – instead she grabs the brush and brushes his teeth for him.

12.27am – Michael is outside with David, and gets to work on his insider mission to get people to nominate him:

Michael: I just don’t know what to do anymore… I want to stay but I can’t stay. I was basically a father before I came into this house, and now I found out I’m not.

David: Have you had contact with the kid?

Michael: I take care of him, he sleeps at mine three nights a week.

David: Crikey.

Michael: The conversation was theres a chance Ruben is not yours. After eight years how do you deal with something like that. It was hazy and a paternatity test was done and it was negative.

Michael: The father now wants him in his life. He’s quite well off, he’s an investment banker, and now he’s in London, and supposedly he’s going to try and get custody now.

David: I don’t know how you’ve been here…

Michael: Thats what I’m saying, what do I do?

David: Stay, and go through the process of nominations, and do what you can for eviction.

Day 18

7.57am – Anna is at the tank, saying she can’t do the task anymore – her hand is cramping. Katie agrees, saying she can’t feel her pinkie finger. They have only been there for 10 minutes. Anna calls out that she can’t do this anymore. The animals call out for food from the animal pen. Katie jokes “you bloody sheep”. Katie and Anna make animal noises to pass the time – it seems to be entertaining them alot.

Anna: I don’t mind.. I just.. can’t do it! Katie I can’t do it

Katie: Yes you can!

Anna: NO I CANT!

Gaelan is waking everyone up so Ash can do the vacuuming – in his underpants and singlet.

Later on Dino is lying in the hammoch with Claire and jokes they can’t be too close because they’ve only known each other for a few weeks. Claire says yeah their relationship eneds to go slow. Dino says he wouldn’t mind getting it on soon though, he’s been waiting.

Katie and Jamie are practicing ballet – or is it dirty dancing? Katie jumps up into Jaime’s arms.

Dino asks Claire who the hottest guys are. Her top three is Jamie, Gaelan, Dino. Dino says “sweet”. Now she ranks personality: Gaelan, Dino, John. They laugh at Ash and Michael who have been excluded twice in a row. Michael jokes they are the ugliest and have no personality. Dino jokes they are seriously ugly. Claire wouldn’t persue a relationship with Jamie because he’s too feminine. Gaelan would be at the top. The boys joke thats the next relationship.

Michael’s top three is Anna, Kaite and Elise – actually he adds that Claire is not bad (she’s right there). Dino says Anna, Claire, and he managed to ignore personality then Krystal. The boys agree and say don’t let personality affect their top 3 hottest housemate rankings. Over the last couple of weeks Dino has seen her other side of Krystal’s looks. Michael says she looks totally different without makeup, and Dino reminds them she has fake boobs too.

Claire: You guys are really… ingrate.

BREAK

3.14pm – Karen is out of the question for Michael because she’s too old. Dino says its not her age its her general attitude. They were all dissapointed to hear from Karen that she’s only here for the prizes. Claire didn’t like the fact that she let everyone know. Michael says that is really sad for him.

In the bedroom Karen and Krystal are lying in bed together and Karen gives her daughter a kiss. She wants to shut her eyes and pretend she’s at home.

John says David and Karen are finding it difficult with the age gap and the immaturity of the other housemates. Dino comments that David isn’t that mature “thats their personality, and their arrogance, but I’m not afraid to become part of it”. Claire is annoyed about David not getting involved since he came in to proove a point. He closed up with Camilla left but never re-opened when she returned to the house. John is dissapointed with David and Karen’s lack of involvement with the other housemates. Claire says its bad because the two have the most experience than the rest of them. Anna adds the she can’t stand Karen and when Karen starts a conversation she just wants to walk the other way.

8.46pm – It’s family dinner – the topic for discussion is the male dominance in the house. Krystal doesn’t think there is one, but Karen says the level of noise maily comes from the men. David thinks there is a dominance because the last 4 evictees were female. Camilla, one of the four evicted, thinks that considering everyone getting evicted David is true. Anna doesn’t think anyone in the house is sexist so it comes down to individual personalities not male/female. Dino, from the tub, says the boys are more comfortable acting like dickheads and like their voices more than the girls do. Gaelan jokes that the boys have a plot to get rid of all the girls – “muahahaha”.

BREAK

7.11pm – Krystal is telling the rest of the dinner table thats she’s definately not herself in the house. The current topic is that housemates are not being themselves. Karen thinks she is being herself – quiet and reserved. Katie does think she’s being herself but she has changed and matured in the house, she’s not holding back at all. Michael was having a bad time before she came in the house (or so he says – he’s the insider remember!). He says he didn’t know whether to tell the other housemates, but he says he has to pull out of the game, and expected to be out of the game by now already. The other housemates look confused and a little detressed. Michael says he doesn’t feel comfortable talking about this “big thing” that he needs to leave the house about. Claire says she totally respects him saying that and will speak for the rest of the house in that they will respect his decision.

7.45pm – Housemates are swapping the dam shifts – there is a little spillage. Jamie is in the sauna with Katie. He’s having trouble dealing with other people in the house – infact he looks really distraught. Katie reminds him he’ll just need to make it through this task and things will be better. Jamie can’t really stand some of the housemates and one in particular he can’t deal with.

Jamie: If you’re talking about hearts and good intentions, there is one person I really question 100%

Katie: Mikey? You think Mikey?

Jamie: Dunno

Katie: Yes you do and its him, or you would have said. How come you think that? You don’t think he’s sincere?

Jamie: No, and I’ve said it all along. He’s the most ingenuine person I’ve ever met.

Meanwhile Michael is at the dining table with the attention of the other boys. He discusses talking about the game – to him its the fear of being evicted, not surviving each nomination until the end. The others seem to nod along.

Jamie tells Katie he doesn’t belive Michael’s claims for a second. “If it really affected him he wouldn’t be acting like he is now.”.

Jamie: Lets go to the extreme and say the worse case scenario is a family members of his is sick or died, would you really use that to your own benefit? Oh sorry guys I wasn’t myself last week, I was neurotic because a family member died.

Katie: I think people are definately playing the game.

BREAK

9.39pm – Anna is giving Dino a hair cut.. of sorts. Anna doesn’t really know what she’s doing and Dino laughs nervously. She giggles while she cuts.

This is Big Brother, you are talking without your microphone. Thats a $5000 fine. When you finish your haircut, you can come to the diary room.

In the diary room Dino finds a toothbrush on the chair. BB reminds him of the rules and says after he has finished sweeping up the hair in the bathroom he must clean every surface of the bathroom with the toothbrush.

Back outside David says to Karen over the tank dam that Michael knows his political move. “He’s not the smartest bloke in the club but he has his knows.. he knows how to manipulate people and he’s doing a very good job”.

Michael comes to the diary room all smiles, and asks Big Brother what he thinks of “the performance”. He explains he either had to upset people or convince them he had to go, which would mean it would be in everyone’s best interests. Dino meanwhile is scrubbing the bathroom floor with the toothbrush and whistling along as he cleans.

Michael says “by monday I hope to have played my cards right so that people will see the issue and vote him out”. He is leaning towards a customs or immigration issue that he needs to leave the house to solve. He plans to bring up this fake issue on monday as a final nudge to get people to nominate him.

Later Ashley comes to give Dino some new water to clean the bathroom. Ash is now off to bed, while Dino continues cleaning.

Day 17

10.02am – Gaelan and Ashley are working out, and David is called to the diary room. He is told to collect all the rubber ducks in the house, and instruct every housemate to help. They have 1 hour. There is to be no sitting or lying down until further notice. David tells Ashley first, who comments they can’t possibly get all of the ducks because there are some stuck on the roof. They suggest using the pool scooper to get them down.

David moves into the bedroom and tells some housemates who yet to get up what Big Brother has requested. Gaelan and Ashley get a duck down from the roof with the pool scooper. Camilla is having problems getting up because she’s so tired. In the bathroom David says the thing is Big Brother knows where all the ducks are. Later in the lounge room they have counted 27 ducks, and predicted 3 have gone over the wall. Flower duck is missing. David brings the bag of ducks to the diary room, and annouces they have 27 ducks. BB asks him to leave the ducks in the diary room.

In the backyard Michael asks Claire “if some one didn’t want to be here would you get rid of them?”. Claire is unsure and says it depends – not necessarily. “I don’t think its a reason for me to nominate”. She says she wouldn’t waste votes on some one like that, they should go speak to Big Brother.

11.09am – Karen is sitting a bed when Big Brother said there was to be no sitting. He announces she must go to the punishment room. She must stand and stare at the red dot on the screen until furhter notice. The others come to watch.

BB: This is Big Brother. Karen, you are to stare at the dot and nothing else.

Karen says this is impossible because she has a 3 second attention span.

BB: Karen, you looked away from the dot. Thats a $5000 fine.

Karen is then fined again. The others worry and think Karen will just give up because she doesn’t want to be in the house. 10 minutes later BB relieves her from the punishment room.

BREAK

12.07pm – Housemates are playing ball in the backyard. In the bedroom Katie is getting her hair done by Karen, and comments she couldn’t handle staying in the house for 3 months. Karen doesn’t know how anyone could. Katie doesn’t plan to be in here for that long – she isn’t a showpony. Krystal comments you don’t have to be. They all agree on girl power but don’t want to be feminists.

12.54pm – Housemates emerge from the bedroom to find the object for the next task: A big water tank, with the house ducks floating on the top. Housemates are to pull corks out of the holes on the side of the tank and dam them with a body part. The tank has different coloured levels and the water cannot fall below a certain level, but housemates don’t know which one (its the yellow line, second from the bottom). Ashley and Gaelan go first.

3.01pm – Katie and John are sitting outside, away from the other housemates. She asks who is in John’s eyes. He replies Krystal, then Anna, then maybe Claire. He comments Katie has a good body though. John would hook up with anyone in this house, except Camilla. She’s not good looking and theres something about her that annoys him. Katie comments there was something about John at the begining that she liked and she would have hooked up with him. John looses his words and gets a little tounge tied. “From the first night I could tell that you were cool”. Katie says “yaaay!”.

BREAK

6.06pm – This is Big Brother. All housemates adjust your microphones. This is insider Michael’s cue to come to the diary room. Inside he finds lots of food. This is his extra reward for passing his personal mission last week, the first special meal and treat he will receive. He only has 5 minutes to eat. Under the dinner tray is spaghetti. Michael runs around to eat the food but seem to can’t stop talking, even to shove food down his mouth.

Meanwhile outside the housemates talk about the food they want. Katie has noticed there is the smell of food coming from somewhere and gets the housemates to group around.

Big Brother: What are your housemates eating tonight?

Michael with mouth full of food: Who cares!

BB tells Michael he now must return to the house. Ashley is cooking on the BBQ and is warned by other housemates not to taste the food this time. Michael goes to the diary room and brushes his teeth. Camilla and Karen are manning the dam. Camilla is lying down with her feet on the tank holes.

Michael offers his dinner to another housemate, whoever will take it, but everyone tells him he must eat.

6.45pm – Housemates are now changing dam shifts over. They have worked out a way to make sure no water comes out when they change over – getting another housemate to stick their hand on the inside of the tank to block the hole.

BREAK

8.30pm – Anna is talking about her boobs when Camilla juts in “Anna!”. Anna says Camilla is just jealous of her boobs. Camilla comments she is perfectly content with her boobs, they fit into anything. Anna says whatever. The boys aren’t very impressed now, and Anna says to Camilla she was only joking – but Camilla doesn’t think so, and they exchange heated words. The boys all say the two girls had a good relationship going while it lasted.

10.44pm – Housemates are on shift for the dam task. Katie is sitting down while plugging a hole, which is not allowed. Big Brother announces they are sure to fail the task if they keep this up – and instructs Katie to pull out the fourth cork, meaning there are now four holes to plug up.

2.29am – Housemates are swapping over for the task. John goes inside to get another housemate to change over. Camilla offers but Anna says she will – they have some whisper bickering. Anna wants to wake Krystal because everyone has to have a fair turn, but Camilla wants to do it now – “why don’t you (Anna) go to sleep and we will handle it”. Gaelen yells from his bed – “discuss it outside”. They go to the kitchen, and try to work out something. Camilla eventually takes over Krystal’s turn.

Day 16

6.16pm – We’re starting late tonight. Krystal is in the bedroom putting on makeup and comments to Camilla she’s glad she actually returned to the house. Ashley is outside cooking dinner but is only the kitchenhand so can’t taste any of the food – he does. Shopper/Chef Krystal is still putting on her makeup.

Dino is called to the diary room. Big Brother asks him who he appointed Chef – he answers. BB asks why Krystal is inside while Ash and other housemates cook tonight’s dinner. Dino replies “Ash is her helper”. He asks which rules they have broken. Big Brother mentions “a housemate” tasted the food, but won’t tell Dino who. BB then instructs him to collect all the food and bring it to the diary room. Dino doesn’t look happy and sarcastically says:

“Feeling a bit hungry?”

Dino is fuming. He goes outside and collects the meat off Ashley and brings it to the diary room. Word quickly spreads to Krystal via Camilla and she is not impressed – she jumps up but is only told the reason for the confiscation is because Ashley cooked – not because he ate some. Krystal goes to enter the diary room but Dino stops her and explains some one sampled the food and other housemates assisted in cooking – he suspects that was him and Michael handing Ashley forks and utensils. Krystal can’t be bothered cooking the rest of dinner now, but Karen says she has to finish it so they can all eat.

Camilla suggests they all go into the diary room and ask to trade hot water for the food back. Not many housemates are eager to go though with it. She has to prod them a bit before they get up.

BREAK

6.37pm – All housemates are in the diary room. Ashley says he knows he tried the food, he tested it to see if its cooked – Krystal was cooking in the kitchen (or so he claims) – are they able to bargain hot water for the food? BB asks Krystal if she asked Ashley to taste the food – no. BB gets the HMs to repeat the rules about tasting the food. Camilla gets angry and says they know the guidelines and they know the wrong thing ahppened but they are asking if they can apologise and bargain so they can have meat tonight.

Big Brother’s decision is final. That is all.

Camilla explains she just feels good about making a stand.

8.31pm – The housemates up for eviction this week are Karen, Krystal, Camilla and Dino. Of course Dino saves himself, leaving the three girls nominated.

Krystal says “thats pretty good”. They are annoyed another girl will be evicted. Some of the housemates run for the toilet.

The nominees and David are outside discussing Dino. Karen says he was looking at her funny, and they all agree Dino is weird towards females. David agrees, and adds he has a very negative attitude towards females in general. Camilla comments she’s not trying to be self centred but she feels Dino is always looking at her in a seedy, dirty way.

BREAK

9.13pm – Dino comes to the diary room. He explains he felt resentment from the others for saving himself from nomination. He thinks there are people out there out to get him – Karen, Krystal, Camilla, Dave.

In the bedroom Krystal tells Michael he’s playing the game the most – for example when they were in the gym and talking about Dino pushing girls at the games, and then Michael went and gossiped it to Dino. Michael says they should have gone and talked to Dino straight away, and he was doing the right thing. “You guys made a blatant attack about the way he interacted with Anna”.

Back to the diary room Dino says apparently he was a bad sport on the friday night games. It makes his victory sour that people are out to get him “just because I won”. “Its getting hard to control my temper with them”.

Michael is still ranting onto Krystal, and Karen is now listening in. They argue over the Dino incident. She says he went straight to Dino to gossip without a second thought – and didn’t give them a chance to express it. Michael says he doesn’t need to ask them permission if they wanted to talk do Dino first.

Micahel: You have no bearing on what I am going to say. I am a grown man and I can do what I want.

In bed Karen says to Katie he’s so argumentative and just wants to create drama.

Krystal tells Michael they should agree to disagree, but Michael disagrees with that. He doesn’t understand.

Krystal: We’re on different wavelenths with … everything. You aren’t happy to listen to what I’m saying you’d rather talk over the top of me.

Michael: Thats a negative attitude to take about it.

Krystal: Well I feel I can talk to anyone in this house except for you.

Michael keeps talking. And talking. And talking.

BREAK

10.42pm – Dino walks into the bedroom and asks the girls “is there anything you want to say to me about Friday night”. Camilla says she is upset about the way he pushed Anna around – Anna isnt’ really upset about it but she has her own voice. Karen shoos Michael out of the bedroom so they can have a discussion with Dino. Michael goes out and says they are gossiping about him.

Karen explains she would hate if it got aired Dino pushing Anna because it would make him look bad. Michael can’t help himself and walks back into the bedroom.

Dino didn’t like the fact that the girls didn’t come and talk to him. The girls gang up on Michael and accuse him of dramatising the fact. Karen attacks Michael saying he likes to cause drama and didn’t give them a chance at all to talk to Dino about it. Camilla reminds them Dino got a fine for being a bad sport, but Dino doesn’t think he did anything wrong.

Krystal: It’s been blown out of proportion because Mikey is a drama queen.

Dino explains he has felt bad about it, which is good news for Karen. But Dino doesn’t want people to hate Michael because of a simple mistake he made. Everything seems to be sorted out… for now.

Michael: I still feel, with the way you’re looking at me, you’re not sorted out with me.

The discussion is left with tension in the air.

Big Brother calls Michael to the diary room. He explains that 8 housemates must nominate him for his next task. Michael is all smiles and says this will kill him.

Day 14

10:20am: Big Brother tells Dino and Claire that their breakfast is served. They laugh at how good it looks and wonder if they will be able to eat it all. Meanwhile in the house, the housemates wonder if there is enough eggs. They decide they’ll have pancakes and eggs for breakfast. Jamie has just finished cleaning the bathroom and toilets, and throws the cloth onto the kitchen bench. Big Brother soon calls all housemates to the living room. Dino is asked to allocate the household chores. He gives the housekeeper to Elise, Kitchenhand is Tilli, Claire gets farmhand again, Dino take groundskeeper for himself, Anna is the baker, Krystal shopper/chef and Karen gets the janitor job.

12:29pm: Krystal is in the kitchen, saying that they are like a family in here now. Krystal picks up the cloth that Jamie used in the toilets, wipes her hands on the cloth, then puts her hands on her face. Big Brother announces the fact to the house, and Krystal says “Yuk… which cloth did I use.” Tilli wonders who put it back in the kitchen, but Jamie says it wasn’t him. He picks up the cloth, but says he didn’t put it back in the kitchen. He decides to throw it out, while Krystal washes her face. Outside in the garden, Camilla gets a $5000 for talking without her microphone. Housemates wonder how much they’ve lost now.

1:10pm: Dino, Ashley and Michael are talking about the amount of food that Karen eats. Dino says that she is greedy. Dino says she stays up late just so she can make pancakes for herself. They say she uses sugar in every cup of tea, and porridge every morning. Ashley says she doesn’t care about anyone. Dino says ‘good riddance to her I reckon.’ Claire makes a song in the hope of Big Brother deciding to donate the money taken by fines to a charity. Ashley wonders how Dino is getting on with Claire in the rewards room. He says really well, getting to know her heaps more than he would if she was in the normal house with him. Dino says that he thought she was silly and dorky, but he’s changed his mind. He says he even finds her attractive now. In the sauna, Camilla and Dave are bitching. Dave says that Dino disrespected the women in the house last night. Camilla says she saw it as well. Back out to Dino, he says that if felt like a little holiday being in the rewards room last night. Back in the sauna, Camilla says you don’t grab a guy like Dino grabbed a girl last night. She says she wouldn’t do it. Outside, Michael lets Dino know of Karen’s opinion about his antics from FNL. He goes onto say that Krystal too felt it was disgraceful. Michael says that he asked the girls if they had bought it up with Dino. They said that it was that bad that it doesn’t need to be bought up at all. Dino says obviously it didn’t come from nowhere, but Dino says he was hungry for it, and as far as he was concerned she is a sore loser. He calls Karen a self obsessed ****.

5:46pm: A carnival sound comes into the house, and housemates soon realise that all of them must get dressed for this final part of the task. Katie lines up without her shoe, as Michael hid it overnight. Big Brother says it’s time to test all their performances. Go through a heap of performances, with housemates laughing on. Big Brother eventually tell the housemates to return to the line. Big Brother tells the results of this weeks task are in. He goes through the rules of the task. Big Brother congratulates housemates, telling them they were entertaining. Housemates cheer, and Michael mutters under his breath to himself (He’ll be automatically nominated if they pass this week’s task.) Big Brother then says however, clowns had to be fully dressed. He says that someone didn’t have a shoe on, therefore housemates have failed this weeks task. Katie can’t believe it, saying that Big Brother was always going to fail them. She apologises. Michael comforts her, saying it’s not her fault.

6:53pm: Big Brother has bought the punishment room curtains up so it’s viewable to the housemates. Tilli is the first to realise, saying “oh my god, people come here.” Jamie says “Do you reckon thats like a punishment room?” Big Brother gathers all housemates in the diary room. He tells them that one person stood to win $1 Million when they walked into the house two weeks ago. He says that is no longer the case. $340,000 has been lost in fines. He goes through each person’s fine tally, Jamie being fined $35,000. He starts laughing! Dino has lost $40,000, and Katie $50,000. She says that Big Brother doesn’t know how to count. Big Brother makes the point that that money has gone and will not back. Big Brother warns them that they could well win nothing if this keeps up. He tells them that this isn’t a holiday as some people obviously think it is. He makes mention of a fine Michael received only a short time ago. Big Brother send Michael to the punishment room. Michael smilies. A lot of housemates seem very excited. Once inside, Michael is told to sit down. Big Brother tells all housemates that they can be called to the punishment room from now on if they are fined. He tells Michael that he must seperate 5000 pins from 5000 needles. The housemates watch on through the glass from the couch.

8:34pm: Housemates in the living room are discussing whether some of the stuff they are fined for is actually wrong. Anna says they are losing money, and they have to be taught to curb this. She says that BB has told them a thousand times. Camilla says she is trying to keep within the rules, but it’s like Big Brother is making up rules to lose money. She references one rule being “You are not permitted to talk over Big Brother”. Anna says that it is all in the guidelines. Camilla says she can’t control herself. Anna says everyone hates them, but they have to do it. In the bedroom, Anna and Tilli talk. Anna says that Michael being punished is good, it’ll teach everyone a lesson. Tilli wonders how Camilla and Anna got in the revenge room. She says they got on ok, but she had to bite her tounge once. Anna says that just before Camilla walked out the door to end the argument.

Tilli comes to the diary room. She says she thinks it’s awesome that Michael has been in the punishment room. She says that Michael has gotten on her nerves all week. Just got under her skin, someone she wishes she could ignore. Tilli says that he is playing the game the most. She says it’s almost embarrassing watching him, saying that he is very attention seeking. Krystal and Claire sing a song “Let it all out”. The song makes fun of Ashley, who laughs at it. In the punishment room, Michael tells us that he’s enjoying the task, and that he’s probably not meant to be enjoying it.
