The latest news snippets and gossip from the house...

Sara plucked Stu's eyebrows for him this afternoon. The Aussie giggled as Stu squirmed and complained that he was in pain. "You're like a girl," she said. "No, you couldn't handle being a girl because you'd have to get waxed and you couldn't take it." Stu went on to admit that he normally shaves his eyebrows. "I've got appearance problems," he said.

Mohamed had a long chat in the Diary Room this morning and emerged saying that he was feeling better after a down couple of days. Nicole asked him what he had spoken about and he told her: "I've just been feeling down. I've been paranoid as well." He went on to joke that he was upset because best friend Rex had dropped him as soon as Nicole entered the house.

Darnell was excited to take his first naked bath in the house. The group had been given toiletries including a bath bomb that turned the water blue, meaning that nothing could be seen. "It does feel nice, though," he grinned. "It feels really nice." Kathreya was less impressed and began shrieking when she found out he was nude. Stuart pushed her towards him shouting: "Naked cuddles!", while Nicole reassured her that you couldn't see anything.

Kathreya became tearful when she realised that Rachel might be evicted. Rachel hugged her in the basic bedroom and told her not to get upset. "You're a special person," she comforted Kathreya. "Don't forget that." Rachel added that if she did go, there were only three more weeks left of the show and everyone would be reunited again. "My friendship with you will carry on, I promise you that," she smiled.

Mohamed asked Sara who she fancied more out of him and Darnell. "Going on looks or personality or both?" she asked, looking awkward. She eventually said that she liked them both for different things. "She likes my hair," Mohamed announced proudly, but he added: "She doesn't like to talk to me because I don't talk." However, Sara said she had found it easier to chat to him recently.

Rachel and Kathreya heard the cameramen laughing at them as they enjoyed their party. They immediately went to the mirror to shout hello. "Are you dancing with us?" Kathreya giggled. The pair later toasted the camera operators. "Thank you!" exclaimed Rachel. "Cheers!"

Darnell admitted that he was worried about Mohamed. After saying that Sara would now act like she was best friends with both Darnell and Mohamed, he sighed: "I'm scared Mo might misconstrue it and get corrupted." He noted that Mohamed had rolled cigarettes quickly in order to spend more time with Sara. "Women change your mind and get you doubting things so fast," he added.

Rachel and Darnell agreed that they wanted to get to the final week. "I don't care if I'm first out, I just want to know I've done every task and challenge," Rachel revealed. "I'm just being greedy." Darnell admitted his desire to be in the final was making him more paranoid. The pair also agreed that they didn't care about the publicity.

Rachel was extremely happy to have survived eviction and repeatedly said all evening that she was "chuffed". She added that she was shocked as she thought Stuart was a big character. "I'm just really grateful," she grinned. "People have paid money!" Rachel added that she could enjoy the next few days without worrying that she might have to leave the house. "This is like home," she smiled. "I've grown really attached to this place."
