Day 15

10.29am – Bodie and TJ are in the bathroom, she asks if he got any sleep. The response is “a little bit”. They slept in different beds last night after a tiff. Bodie quickly leaves the room and TJ throws towels at the door just as he leaves, calling him a “fuckhead”. Later in the kitchen Bodie makes a meal and Thomas says he heard the lovers had a tiff last night. Bodie says “as if I would want to have anything series in here, I just wanna have some fun”.

Emma has come to the diary room to ask about toilet paper. She didn’t realise she was supposed to grab it in the shop yesterday and thought it was included in the staples. BB says it was made clear the shopper chef (Emma) was in charge of getting toilet paper. To get toilet paper from BB they will have to sacrifice chocolate and meat. The housemates aren’t pleased when they hear about this. Joel and Bodie both do everything they can to stop Emma from returning the bacon. Emma runs outside with the bacon and the boys grab it off her. Emma stops the shenanigans in all seriousness they must sacrifice the bacon, but Bodie still won’t let up. After the other housemates intervene he gives it up. Emma goes back to the diary room and asks if she can sacrifice something else – the coffee instead of the bacon. Big Brother says no. They are given enough toilet paper for the week as deemed by Big Brother.

Outside Bodie apologises to Hayley for their argument earlier in the week. They wish each other good luck for the eviction. In the bedroom Emma reveals she hid a roll of toilet paper under her top “for the girls” incase the rest runs out. She lets TJ know where she’s hiding it in the bedroom.

BREAK

2.47pm – Bodie and TJ are lying on a bed together, and he say she wants to steal a monty carlo biscuit. Outside Andrew tells a group of housemates it would be exciting to leave the house tonight. Travis doesn’t really think so. Meanwhile Bodie has put a bandana over his face and crawls into the kitchen to steal monty carlo biscuits from the pantry. He takes them into the bedroom for TJ, Emma, Aleisha, Joel and himself to eat. Joel makes a big deal about eating the biscuit – he doesn’t feel right about it. Bodie says Joel is either with them or against them. Aleisha can’t eat the biscuit either. The housemates outside are talking about how from now on some one will be leaving each week. Joel has surcummed to eating the monty carlo.

7.17pm – Jamie does his hair in the mirror and sings. Everyone is getting dressed up. BB calls all housemates to the lounge and then gets Emma to explain what her FNL power was – and that Jamie was picked to replace her in being nominated. Jamie says its no problem, Rebecca looks sad. Kate and Hayley go to help Jamie to pack his bag incase he is evicted. Emma starts crying.

BREAK

8.04pm – It’s time to go… Kate. She hugs everyone before leaving through the inside door. The housemates all go outside to cheer goodbye over the wall. Jamie gets upset over the eviction but Bodie is all smiles. He says he feels so good he’s not the first. Emma agrees, but is worried now that she explained she put Jamie up for nomination there will be about 8 housemates wanting to kill her. TJ tells her not to worry about it. Bodie goes and sits by himself for a moment, then lies down.

In the bedroom Jamie explains he feels more bad for Kate than relieved for not being evicted. Aleisha says Kate was ready to go though. Emma apologises again to Jamie for the nomination twist but Jamie again tells her its not a problem.

10.51pm – It’s revealed around the poolside that a few nights ago Billy and Aleisha kissed in their bed. Everyone makes a big deal about it, and chants for them to kiss again. They do.

12.15am – Susannah wants to know what the sleeping arrangements are now that Kate has gone. She wants to know if TJ and Bodie are going to be sleeping together, and TJ screams that nothing is going on and she shouldn’t assume that, but adds she is just kidding. TJ and Bodie bicker over sleeping arrangements.

In the bathroom Hayley and Emma swap notes on the bickering between the dysfunctional couple. While talking Hayley slips over on the floor and says “thats what I get for being a bitch”.

BREAK

12.28am – TJ tells Bodie its hard for her to watch how well Bodie gets along with his friends and she wishes that she got along like that with Bodie. Bodie thinks it might be because they rushed into things. Bodies goes directly over to Emma and lies down next to her. TJ says “I’m over it” and leaves the bedroom, Susannah goes running after her. Bodie looks annoyed at himself. Aleisha and Emma tell Bodie off for coming over knowing TJ will lose the plot. They laugh at him. TJ is talking with Susannah in the living room about the situation. Aleisha and Emma continue to tell Bodie off for not treating TJ right, and getting them in trouble with TJ.

Bodie: There’s now way in hell anyone is going to tell me off for hanging out with who I want to

Bodie decides he’s going to go out and fix this once and for all, kicking everyone out of the living room except for TJ. He says he’s not dealing with the whole thing and he feels like whatever happens she will have harsh feelings towards him. TJ says he’s going to hurt her either way. Bodie just wants to be friends, and TJ words it as admitting he “made a mistake”. Bodie thinks TJ is being “full on” but TJ disagrees. Bodie can only offer TJ friendship right now. TJ wants to know who told him to give this advice considering he kissed her just minutes ago. Bodie goes to walk away. TJ isn’t trying to be boyfriend and girlfriend. Bodie isn’t comfortable with being around her right now and if she doesn’t want his friendship tell him now. TJ pauses.

The housemates in the bedroom predict this isn’t going to end well.

TJ confronts Bodie about him liking Emma… maybe too much. He says at first he had the hots for her but eventually it evolved into a friendship and he has respect and admiration for her. TJ thinks he doesn’t have the same respect and admiration for her. Bodie doesn’t want to have this on his concience. TJ says this is because he can’t deal with this reponsibility. Bodie then crawls under the coffee table in the fetal position while TJ continues to talk. He doesn’t care what she says except love is a “double edged sword”. Bodie shoulds like he’s crying under the coffee table.

In the bedroom the housemates all start laughing about how one pash could turn into so much drama.

Bodie and TJ agree they will talk about it tomorrow.

TJ: “dumped on national television… argh how embarassing!”

Day 14

7.29am – Zoran and Susanna are doing thier shift at the fishing task. They discuss TJ and Bodie’s relationship – Zoran doesn’t think its real and the two hope TJ doesn’t get hurt because she’s a nice girl. Zoran noticed a huge change because Bodie like TJ so much at the begining and now he’s giving her the cold shoulder. In the rewards room Hayley and Andrew are enjoying their breakfast of scrambled eggs. When they sit down the bedroom window is revealed, but there are no housemates awake to look into the reward room. Outside Kate is in the pool and Jamie tells her he’s so glad Hayley got the FNL prize… so happy. Kate thinks its good but not great. She does note though its really good Andrew and Hayley have each other in the house – its a massive advantage for them. Jamie does say however they only get one nomination vote between them… there are pros and cons.

Andrew speculates to Hayley that there is “some one out to get us”. And they both immediately suspect Bodie. Andrew wonders why Bodie is so inconsiderate to them, maybe its a mission from Big Brother. Hayley says he’s being as irritating as possible to the other housemates… “he’s just … stupid”. Andrew says Bodie is used to having his mum do everything for him.

11.46am – A fish flys out of the well and Demet quickly springs up and catches it with one hand, falling over. Bodie cheers that was the best catch ever. They both kiss the fish and throw it back in. Big Brother annouces the fishing task is over and everyone cheers. BB says this task was worth $50 000 to the prize pool. Housemates caught 47 fish, however they dropped 3 fish. Each fish that got away was worth $5000. On two occasions Bodie failed to kiss the fish as set in the rule, so BB is deducting a further $5000. The housemates have won $30 000 for the task, bringing their total prize money to $80 000.

12.02pm – Housemates are enjoying themselves around the pool, except Bodie who is sitting in a sunchair looking sorry for himself. TJ sits opposite him about 5 metres away. There is a short pause and then Bodie says to her “maybe we should talk later on and I could come around and see your point of view”. TJ says “maybe…. maybe”. He tells her not to be short with him. TJ isn’t impressed and says “telling me what to do again huh?”. Bodie just wants them to be on good terms. He says the reason he didn’t rush into anything is because he has “oldschool morals”. TJ say she’s saying one thing and doing another however. Bodie thinks maybe he’s going against… “don’t worry then”.

BREAK

1.23pm – Hayley is issuing house chores for the week. She gives environmental watchdog to Susannah. Baker is Thomas. Housekeeper Travis. Chef Emma (she is excited). Kitchenhand Joel. Farmhand to herself. Laundry TJ. Janitor Brodie. Everyone cheers extra loud when Brodie is called and he bows infront of everyone. A little later Hayley is with the animals and she’s brought Jamie with her. They pat Rosy the cow.

2.17pm – Bodie is getting advice about his relationship with TJ. Aleisha says TJ told her she doesn’t start anything unless she’s full blown committed. Aleisha finds this hilarious, as does Bodie. Bodie doesn’t want to be seen as the asshole here but “things are moving a bit too quickly for the ol janitor”. Aleisha and Emma both say he has to do something quick or he’ll be whipped. Billy jokes TJ will expect a proposal on stage after they leave the house. Bodie gets Aleisha to pretent to be TJ so he can practice his speech: “Look, cleaning the toilets has really given me a lot of time by myself to think”. Aleisha then jokes “you don’t have to say anything I’ll still feel the same”. The group of housemates all laugh. While this happens TJ is doing the laundry. Housemates are now encouraging Bodie to just go through with it and tell her how he feels.

Hayley and Jamie emerge from the farm area and alert the housemates they didn’t get a full bottle of milk – they suspect they are only given the amount of milk they can get from Rosy the cow, and lately Rosy hasn’t been giving much.

Bodie decides he’s “going in”. Just randomly Aleisha tells Billy his toes are all “random lengths and stuff” but Billy already knows. Bodie goes over to TJ wearing what can only be described as speedos with suspenders. Bodie tells TJ he has been speaking to Emma and things have been put into perspective. He doesn’t want to start anything because they could be leaving soon to different corners of the country – TJ in Darwin and Bodie in Perth. Bodie isn’t very articulate with his words. TJ doesn’t particularly care – she doesn’t plan anything she says. Bodie doesn’t think he’s dressed for a serious talk, but TJ doesn’t find the joke funny. Bodie doesn’t want TJ to be hurt in this whole thing. TJ replies she won’t get sad. Bodie likes kissing her and cuddling her but… (he doesn’t want to go any further right now). TJ doesn’t want him to think she wants to get married or anything. Bodie doesn’t want to be seen as the asshole in the relationship. TJ thinks Bodie shouldn’t care about what other people think. Just as Bodie goes to clean the toilets he kisses her on the lips, and TJ laughs.

TJ then hums “two faced bitches… in the whole world… fake fake fake”.

“You’re an idiot TJ, you need to smarten up” she says to herself.

On his way to the bathrooms Bodie runs into Emma and fills her in on what the conversation was about. Emma asks suspicously “are you ok with that?”.

BREAK

3.01pm – Hayley and Andrew are having lunch in the rewards room. She asks Andrew what he thinks of her issuing of chores – he doesn’t really have a response, but says “well done” to giving Bodie the janitor task. Hayley is worried it was a cheap shot, but Andrew doesn’t think so. She was aiming for a “reality checkpoint”. Kate is in the bathroom with Bodie and she tells him she isn’t surprised he was given his chore. She says that people in the house don’t like her and Bodie. Talk moves to nominations and Bodie says he’s not that annoyed about being nominated – its rather exciting.

Later Emma is given an annoucement to read to the housemates – it’s shopping time. This weeks shopping budget is $274. The shop will be open for 5 minutes and Emma is immediately called there by Big Brother. She runs there followed by the other housemates. She goes inside while the others watch through the glass door. She grabs everything she can and checks them through, having to pack them in environmental green bags afterwards. BB annouces the shop is closed and she brings everything outside. The housemates all cheer and thank her, then move into the living room to go over what they have to use this week. The most popular items are M&Ms, bacon and butter. Andrew predicts this food will test relationships in the house and will throw that extra bit into the mix.

Kate responds to Andrew comment by saying “nooooooo” to it.

Andrew says to Kate “you won’t Kate, because you don’t give a fuck, but other people will”.

Susannah says no they should just be considerate and ask before taking. Joel says no one should go off and try to dip in. While the other housemates sort through the shopping Kate says to Jamie “oh my god I just got yelled at”. She is in shock, and repeats the conversation that just happened before. Jamie doesn’t think it was yelling, it was just Andrew trying to talk over other people.

Later in the night the girls are dressing up as drags in long socks, mismatching outfits and too much makeup. They are supposed to be 80s girls and parade themselves for the housemates before coming into the diary room. They all pout, and Kate explains they are explaining Demet is now here in “full colour” and is no longer locked in her white shell (the white room). It’s a celebration having Demet here. The girls have a dance for Big Brother, and perform it in teh diary room. TJ leads the booty shaking.

BREAK

8.59pm – Bodie comes into the kitchen where TJ is. TJ says it sucks to be Joel right now (he’s kitchen hand). Bodie and TJ hug and he explains he was worried because Aleisha said it seemed he was ignoring her. TJ says he doesn’t need to “deposit” love throughout the day, and he’s smarter than worrying about what others think. Emma interupts them with a dare for Bodie from a game they were playing in the bedroom – he must walk past the pool with Rebecca and do an erotic dance like a sandwich. Bodie has to finish the conversation with TJ first, Emma is really annoyed. TJ explains she is annoyed Bodie is so close with Aleisha and his “awesome foursome” and she’s just the girl he comes to when he feels like it. TJ is having a hard time with him, and lays down the law: if anyone wants to know about their relationship they should come and talk to her.

Joel walks over and TJ asks him to “guide” Bodie as to what he’s doing wrong in the relationship. Joel laughs and wants to stay out of it while he does the dishes.

A little later the housemates are gathered in the living room. The awesome foursome – Bodie, Aleisha, Emma and Billy – decide to go outside and TJ tells Bodie off. Emma asks TJ if they can have a private conversation in the bedroom. Emma kicks some of the housemates out of the bedroom so they can talk. Bodie joins them, much to the annoyance of Emma. He won’t leave and says he just wants everyone to get along. Emma clarifies they have talked about the relationship with TJ but she has never relayed any information given to her in confidence, and then leaves.

TJ says she won’t join the others because she doesn’t sanction groups and doesn’t want to be an awesome sixsome. Bodie is worried he is leaving the house tomorrow night and wants to have a good time. TJ tells him to go have a good time then. Bodie gets annoyed and storms out of the room.

TJ: “Child!”.

Day 13

9.31pm – Hayley and Andrew enter the rewards room, all laughs and smiles and hugs. The rest of the housemates are in the living room, and Thomas explains how different the tasks were during Friday Night Live. The tasks ranged in difficulty in a huge way. BB calls all housemates to the bedroom, and when they are in there the glass screen is revealed. Everyone sees the food Hayley and Andrew get to eat, and the glass is quickly shut again. Andrew tells Hayley he was almost in tears when she won, he asks if she feels bad for the others – she doesn’t… kinda… no. Hayley says it would be far more enjoyable for them too then another combination of two housemates. Back in the living room Travis explains anyone can win FNL now. Bodie seems to have a different theory – there is a large element of luck (is this because he didn’t win?). In the bathroom the girls all say its great the females are winning the games, and that the boys are still having problems they can’t cut it.

Hayley and Andrew are in the rewards room bathtub kissing. Hayley says “we are so good, we are so good”. Meanwhile outside the housemates are around the pool and convince Bodie and TJ to pash infront of everyone else. The rewards room couple say they are so proud of Jamie beating Travis during the games – he proved its all in the head. She thinks not enough housemates give him the time, and apparently Jamie has a crush on Rebecca. Apparently Zoran has a crush on Susannah. The housemates outside are next chanting for Aleisha to kiss Billy. She screams noo…. and it doesn’t happen.

BREAK

11.17pm – The reward room housemates are in the diary room. Big Brother announces they are allowed to discuss nominations when in the rewards room. Neither of them can tell the other housemates they have been given this power. Andrew is relieved he thought it would be another task. They are dismissed. Rebecca is off to bed and kisses goodnight the housemates around the pool. She jokes there was a “turn in there” when Jamie kisses her.

11.56pm – Andrew tells Hayley right now he would nominate Kate and Bodie – Kate is pissing him off. They start to list Joel – no. Rebecca can get on your nerves but no. Jamie awesome.

Jamie and Rebecca are lying in bed together. She tells him she can be proud she didn’t change herself at all to fit in this house. Jamie says she needs to understand that as much as she fits in the house, he doesn’t. And they are outsiders in the house. He clarifies he didn’t try to turn when they kissed, Rebecca says its fine and that it was quite funny. As Jamie leaves the bedroom Joel walks passed and gives him a suspicious smile. Bodie is going to bed and must give TJ a kiss doonight. Actually it turns into a pull on pash in the kitchen. She follows him into the bedroom.

Back in the rewards room they’ve narrowed down the top three to nominate – Bodie, TJ and Kate. Hayley hopes Bodies goes on the weekend – he just holds so many people back.

Speak of the devil – Bodie is in bed with TJ and she strokes his head. They cuddle each other and have puppydog pillow chat. TJ seems to want to kiss and make out but Bodie only wants to cuddle, which annoys TJ. She rolls back the other way and Bodie starts asking what the matter is. Bodie says “what you say influences me as well, you understand what I’m saying”. TJ responds angrily with “I’m not going to change who I am for anyone and you need to realise whats going on around you… your life”. She angrily gets out of Bodie’s bed and moves to her own spot.

The rewards room couple get into their own bed and test out the bed elevator… they joke they could squash themselves in the bed and have a long giggle.

Aleisha asks TJ if she is ok and why she’s sleeping away from Bodie. TJ says.. (leans over to Aleisha) “because Bodie is being a pig, he’s too worried about what we say and do and how it looks to his friends and family”. Joel is evesdropping from his bed.

Day 10

10.38am – Breakfast is served to the housemates, but its porridge yet again after the housemates broke rules in the house. Over breakfast the housemates watch the white room, who are also eating the same food. Everyone in both houses are looking pretty unenthused at their food. Later outside the girls discuss how Bodie is gutted after being made a “non housemate” for breaking nominations rules. No one can acknowledge Bodie or talk to him. Big Brother calls all houseamates to the lounge but as Bodie is a non housemate he must go to the hot tub area. Jamie and Thomas are called to the diary room to collect a table containing paddles. The paddles will be used to select couples for this week’s task. Aleisha picks first – Joel. Emma picks Andrew. Kate picks Thomas. Hayley picks Jamie. Rebecca picks Billy. Susannah picks Zoran. TJ picks Travis.

Andrew and Emma are the first couple called to the diary room for the task. Inside they find baby dolls and are told by Big Brother they are to each care for one of the baby. They must care for the baby as if it were their own real child. Andrew asks if they can name the baby, but BB does not repsond. The baby doll makes a gurgling noise as they pick it up. When they leave the diary room everyone cheers, except for Kate who looks uncomfortable.

BREAK

1.28pm – Thomas and Kate are called to collect their computerised baby. Thomas is glad their baby is a boy. Kate on the other hand looks extremely uncomfortable and can’t sit still in the diary room chair. She eventually starts crying. Thomas hugs her and asks if she is ok.. she shakes her head. Big Brother asks if Kate is ok, she is not. Kate says if this is the task she is leaving the house because she lost a baby 18 months ago and she can’t be in this environment.

Kate: “I’ve obvioulsy got a lot of issues I still need to work through. Coming in here I didn’t think it was bad but I’ve realised it is”

The housemates outside wonder why Kate and Thomas are taking so long in the diary room. Kate tells Big Brother its not the fact that she would be doing this task on her own, its the fact there will be babies all around, talk and joking about babies and she wouldn’t be able to handle that. She won’t be able to get away from it. She doesn’t want to put herself through it, and would rather be out of the house instead.

Kate: “I’m sorry that I’m this weak but I can’t put myself through that”.

Kate says she doesn’t expect the task to change just for her but she won’t be forced into doing something she doesn’t want to do. Big Brother says if Kate wishes she can leave the diary room and take a moment – there is no need to make any decisions now. Kate and Thomas emerge from the diary room without a baby, and Kate has sunnies on her head. The HMs all figure out Kate has been crying and wonder what is going on. A little later BB calls all housemates in the lounge to the diary room. Meanwhile Kate and Thomas are in the chill out room talking about Kate’s residual issues. Big Brother tells the main housemate group that for reasons he will not disclose at this time the current task will cease and they must leave all babies in the diary room. Andrew asks if they are allowed to talk to Kate – Big Brother would prefer he talk to Kate first, then Kate can decide if she wants to discuss it openly.

Kate is telling Thomas its difficult because when you are pregnant and give birth your body goes through changes and she has come into a house where the girls all have great bodies and haven’t had to go through childbirth and that experience. It’s intimidating for her to see their bodies, especially TJ who is very skinny. Big Brother calls Kate to the diary room, and she thanks Thomas for talking to her before she leaves the chillout room. BB asks Kate how she is feeling and informs her the task has been withdrawn from the house – and that she is at liberty to leave the house. BB adds the task was never designed to upset Kate, and it is her choice to discuss this with the other housemates.

Kate says she will discuss it with the other housemates in five minutes when she’s had a chance to wash her face.

BREAK

2.30pm – Kate has gathered the housemates and explains why the task has been cancelled – 18 months ago she was pregnant and lost the baby at the end of her pregnancy. It’s something she’ll never get over and being in a house full of screaming plastic babies was not something she was prepared to go through. She is now prepared to go further in the house now that the task has been withdrawn. Kate starts to get a little tearful while explaining this, as do the other female housemates. She doesn’t really want to go into depth and if the other housemates ask questions later on one-on-one she will go into it. It’s not something you can just mention in passing conversation. “You can’t understand what its like to lose a baby”. TJ and Hayley start tearing. Kate developed a condition with her pregnancy that resulted in the rare death of her baby. Kate explains that she is away from her support group so it adds more difficulty to the situation.

Thomas jumps in and says they can all see how the task could be a source of such stress for some one in her position. Travis says they would all rather fail the task than let her go through that. Everyone is supportive of Kate. She says she is sorry for being such a loudmouth bitch this week but she does have a side that isn’t like that. She apologises to Emma about what has happened in the last couple of days. Rebecca adds they should work on making a safety network for each other.

Rebecca: “When you look at a dead tree in the winter you don’t think its an ugly tree you think its going to be really pretty in the summer. Maybe this is your period to be a little bit dead and your summer’s just coming”

BREAK

3.04pm – Talk has moved to showering naked. They all do a hand count, there are five housemates who have showered naked. TJ suddenly bursts into tears and goes into the bedroom, saying “stupid… stupid… so sick of it”. Thomas follows her but TJ doesn’t need a hug she says.. she’s crying because Bodie has been excluded from the other housemates as a punishment from Big Brother. Bodie meanwhile goes outside and walks around alone. TJ continues her rant about how the punishment is stupid and he’s being “treated by a dog”.

3.57pm – Bodie is still wandering around but is called to the diary room. His punishment is over. Bodie say he is “alright”… all of his answers are short and annoyed. Big Brother annouces to the entire house explaining that the rules are in place for a reason and housemates should police themselves when it comes to the rules. Some of the housemates run up to the diary room door to meet him when he comes out. Bodie suspects this has happened and questions BB on it. Bodie doesn’t want people to be waiting for him when he leaves the diary room. Too bad – the entire house is now waiting. Joel says he doesn’t want to talk to Bodie he just wants to kick him (jokingly). Bodie doesn’t want a “horray Bodie can talk thing”. BB doens’t want to talk about it.

Bodie leaves the diary room and gets a “horray Bodie can talk thing”.

7.02pm – Aleisha and Kate are in the bathroom. Al tells Kate she is really proud of her for what she explained about herself today. Bodie is sitting with TJ in the lounge room, but is still quiet. Bodie said the punishment was “a really good lesson”. Not just for what he did wrong, but a life lesson. He hasn’t been quiet for that amount of time ever and he heard a lot more and got to know the other housemates more than if he was allowed to speak. He sees people in this house differently now. TJ explains how she couldn’t deal with the punishment. Bodie didn’t realise how much of a friend and how much TJ cared about him. Bodie initially mistook her mood swings as two-faced.

TJ says she knows Bodie differently to the other housemates because she’s seen him in his quiet time…. like now.

Day 9

8:19am: Big Brother tells Emma that she must choose a housemate to go with her to feed the animals. Jamie sits up almost next to her, but she asks Thomas to come with her. They find that they have no eggs today. Inside, Jamie is exercising and Kate comes out to sit with him. Jamie tells her that he was fully awake when Emma was called for farmhand duties thinking that this was his chance to get to know her, but she chose Thomas. When the farmhands return they report that there are no eggs and no milk. Jamie says “oh bummer.” In the kitchen Emma and Thomas try to look for the bread and realise that all the food and drink has dissapeared, Big Brother taking whatever is left over each week so they start again.

Big Brother calls all housemates to the living room and Thomas comes out of the diary room and reads a letter. Big Brother tells them that their honeymoon is over, and with some housemates breaking rules, Big Brother has decided that housemates must earn their own way. Each day for doing their alloted chores, housemates will receive $3 each; for each rule breach $1 will be taken from this wage. Until further notice housemates will receive porridge for each and every meal. Thomas, having bought out the porridge from the diary room, starts getting cups and dishing out their first try of it. Bodie is dissapointed and suggests a strike. Others say Big Brother wouldn’t care.

1:52pm: Jamie sits on the couch watching the white room by himself, and looks upset. Emma sees this and tells Bodie and Aleisha. Bodie is saddened by the news, and wants to go and talk to him, but the girls stop him. Jamie starts hitting a pillow, obviously mad with himself. Back outside, Bodie says that they should try and include him more. Emma says that he needs to meet us halfway as well. Aleisha comes inside and they talk about the heat being a killer for Jamie, saying “yeh, I burn like that.”

Over in the white room, Harrison is crying. Demet says that they should perhaps all leave. They talk about it some more, saying that Cruz did the best thing. Harrison says that they should have left yesterday with him. Kara says that she feels that she could do this forever now. Harrison says that they have no chance of winning even if they do get into the house. Kara suggests talking to Big Brother and trying to work out something, and if there is no end in sight, then to all press the button together. They all say they are happy to all just go home. A little while later Big Brother starts talking to the wildcards. Big Brother tells them that something will change ‘very soon’, Kara says ok, but then says we agreed too soon, saying ‘we could’ve asked for hot chips’.

5:06pm: Rebecca and Kate are in the sauna. Kate says she isn’t comfortable in this house. Rebecca says the quirkyness of some housemates is annoying her. Kate is still peeved that she was given the job of janitor. Kate says that Thomas is part of their gang! Rebecca says the division in the house is becoming more and more apparent. Meanwhile, a few housemates are watching the White room on the feed, and say that they seem a lot happier than normal. Rebecca says that Bodie is irratating the crap of her, and Kate agrees.

8:32pm: Big Brother tells the housemates that are nominated are Kate, Bodie and Emma. Big Brother calls Emma to the diary room, and explains that as winner of FNL she can take someone off the block, and decide who to put up. She takes herself off, and puts Jamie up. Big Brother then tells the housemates that the new nominees will be announced ‘later’.

9:54pm: Aleisha is in the bedroom with Bodie. Bodie says that he hasn’t really missed home until right now. Aleisha says “It’s only because you think your unliked.” Aleisha says that she might still be up yet. Bodie says that Emma handled it very well. Bodie says he just got mad and couldn’t hide it. Emma says she thought she would be up. Bodie says that he doesn’t know about the hugs and kisses afterwards. Emma says that is as fake as anything. Outside, Kate and Hayley wonder who will be up with the ‘3 point twist’. Back in the bedroom, Emma says she can’t be bothered pretending to be nice to people. Bodie says he thought in the back of his mind that he would be right cause Emma had the 3 point twist, but says ‘we both got done.’

10:21pm: Still talking in the bedroom, Billy having joined in. Bodie says he doesn’t want to go. Bodie says that he is glad that he has ‘you 4’ and he says he’ll still have fun until the end. Aleisha again says that she could still be up. Bodie says she wouldn’t get one vote. Emma says that the majority of the people in the house are quite geeky, and she says she has nothing in common with anyone. On the couch, Kate is saying that she didn’t realise how boring and lonely the place would be. Emma tells Bodie that Sussanah is two faced, perhaps Rebecca also. They say for a mormen shes very strange. Bodie says that Rebecca is as bland as a couple of weet bixs. Emma also says that Jamie is a nerd and a weirdo.

Big Brother calls Bodie to the diary room. Big Brother tells Bodie that by telling someone they probably wouldn’t even receive a vote, he has effectively told that person he didn’t vote for them. Bodie looks confused. He says he didn’t deliberately do it. Big Brother tells him that until told otherwise he is a non housemate. Bodie laughs. Big Brother reveals to everyone in the living room that Bodie is a non housemate, and that they must not speak to him or include him in any conversation. Any housemate seen talking to Bodie will also face serious penalty. Bodie comes out from the diary room and can’t help but laugh, taking a seat by himself at the table. Rebecca says that this is worse for Bodie than being kicked out. Kate doesn’t agree. Housemates begin to think about bed. Rebecca says ‘the real game is only just beginning.’ Bodie wanders outside near the spa, looking as bored as anything. Kate says that Rebecca, Jamie and herself do not fit the typical BB mould.

TJ calls her comment about the head massage out on Hayley, and Hayley walks away saying ‘this is weird.’ Hayley tells Rebecca that she is pissed off because she can’t understand why TJ is angry at her. Rebecca comforts Hayley, and Hayley says ‘she can go and get stuffed.’ TJ comes into the bedroom to find Hayley, and waits while she is in the bathroom.
