HOUSEMATES AGREE TO TALK LESS OF ESTELLE
Estelle's popularity in the outside world has been noted by the Big Brother housemates, who have made a pact to talk less about her in the last few days of the series. Big Brother's latest evictee, Sam Wallace, says the reason Estelle has been put for eviction six times, the most of any squatter on the Nine Network series, is because she grates on the housemates.
But the Gold Coast waiter acknowledges the numerous eviction attempts appear to have backfired, as it's been revealed Estelle is in the box seat to win the series.
The viewer voting for the final was revealed on Sunday night for the first and only time.
The winner, to be announced on Wednesday night's show, will receive $250,000 as part of the booty.
Estelle has 24 per cent of the viewer's vote to win, followed by Benjamin (20 per cent), Layla (18), Michael (16) and Zoe (15).
Wallace, with just seven per cent of the vote, was evicted on Sunday night.
The two with the fewest votes will be evicted on Monday night, leaving just three in the house for Wednesday's big announcement.
"Everyone in the house got together without Estelle and said we have to stop talking about her," Wallace told AAP.
"Because the more we talk about her, the more people on the outside are going to love her.
"People are thinking differently in the house about her but she is the favourite on the outside."
Wallace spent last night in a Gold Coast hotel as a guest of Nine.
However, contact with family and friends was restricted, because he did not pay his mobile phone bill before he entered the house.
"I've been disconnected so I have to get that fixed this afternoon," Wallace said.
"It was such a rush going in I forgot to pay."
During his time in the Big Brother compound, Wallace struck up a relationship with Layla, who he intends to see when she finally emerges from the show.
He mentioned during his exit interview that if Layla won the series, he would get the car.
However, he changed tact a little on Monday when quizzed about the "secret pact" and his end of the bargain.
"It was more me saying to Layla if you win, I get the car," Wallace explained. "What can a girl do with two cars anyway?"
****
Opportunistic or wot.
So this silence about Estelle doesn't seem to have last very long... lol
