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

Kat realised she has been referring to people being "rejected" from the house instead of "ejected" this evening. The misunderstanding dawned when Lisa asked if Maysoon will be able to attend the final because she walked out. "Yes, because she didn’t get rejected," Kat said, before the blunder was pointed out. "No-one ever corrected me," said the embarrassed Kat, who realised that she has been making the error for about 11 weeks.

Mikey’s sensitivity to smell saw him leave two rooms this evening. The housemate left the luxury bedroom after someone sprayed deodorant and later went into the garden because of the smell of vinegar in the kitchen.

As some of the housemates tried to stop themselves nodding off, Michael told Rex to ask Big Brother for an hour's siesta every day. However, Rex warned that Big Brother would turn it into a joke. "It'll be all pyjamas and nightcaps," he sighed. "Or we'll have to stand up and sleep." Sara pointed out that Mohamed had received silver wedges when he requested shoes. "We'd wish we'd never asked for it," Rex remarked.

The housemates were surprised when Nicole shrieked from the toilet. "What's wrong?" worried Rachel, but Mohamed suggested she had probably just been frightened by a spider. "Are you drowning?" Darnell called. However, the mystery was solved when Nicole revealed she had dropped her microphone into the toilet. The housemates reassured her that it happens to everyone, and Nicole said she thought it would be alright as she had fished it out straight away.

After a night of games, Rachel suggested spinning around a mop before trying to walk. She explained that she had done it in a field on a hen night, and the group soon tried it out. "It's like you're piddled!" Lisa giggled, while Mohamed bemused the housemates by going backwards round the mop. "I feel like I'm going to end up in yesterday after this," Darnell joked. "I love this game," Rachel sighed, happily.

Some of the housemates talked about Sesame Street after Darnell revealed that he and his best friend are known as Bert and Ernie. "How ghetto was Sesame Street?" he joked. "It had a six foot pigeon on it and cracked-out elephants." He went on to announce that Bert and Ernie were homosexual, Oscar the Grouch was homeless, the Cookie Monster was on drugs and the Count was a pimp. "He had a cape and a cane, and he counts his money," he observed.
