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

Nicole and Sara both appeared extremely nervous about the pending eviction and agreed they felt sick. "I shouldn't have eaten," Nicole groaned. "I think that was a bad idea." However, Lisa appeared calm. "Either way I'll see a positive, but that's the way I think," she revealed.

Michael asked Rachel to help him decide what to wear, but she was reluctant. "My fashion sense is atrocious," she warned him as she looked through his clothes. Michael refused several options, including a red shirt, his poncho and a white top which he worried was "too T-shirty looking". Eventually, he settled for a colourful top.

Michael said it would be nice if he could hide in the bathroom all evening. "I don't like the atmosphere in there," he explained. Kathreya agreed that it would be nice to hide. When Rachel came into the bathroom, Michael informed her: "I'm staying in here tonight. It seems too stressful in there."

Sara complained that she had smoked all of her cigarettes as she was sure that she was going. Michael suggested that Rex could give her some, but he laughed: "No. Because I'm a selfish bastard." However, he soon offered to give Sara one cigarette a day. "Take it or leave it," he added. Sara quickly replied: "Take it."

The housemates wondered if the basic bedroom would change as they were no longer allowed in. Some of them agreed it would be good to get a pool table in there, while Lisa fantasised about a beauty parlour where they could get pampered. "I thought the spoilt brat had left tonight," Michael joked.

The group agreed that they would have come on the show if there was no prize money, although Mohamed said it would be useful. However, Darnell suggested that "50%" of the housemates were there because they wanted fame and the money it brings afterwards. He agreed with Rex that they simply wanted to party, although they hadn't expected the "emotional rollercoaster".
