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

Mo requested that the group stay where he could keep his Head of House eye on them after repeated requests that he keep them awake. "Guys, I'd prefer it if everyone came out to the living area," he told the group in the bedroom. "It's you guys that are sleeping," insisted Mikey. "Leave us alone!" "You guys are gonna fall asleep," Mo told Sara. "I know you for that." As Rachel tried to encourage the group to move into the lounge, Sara and Mikey remained adamant that they would stay put.

Rex and Sara chatted about Stuart in the garden this morning while they had a cigarette. Sara asked Rex if he knew whether Stuart had feelings for her or not. He told her: "He thought you were crazy." "Well it looks like me and Stu aren't going to be," Sara said, looking disappointed. "You never know. He might see a different side to you when he watches you on the TV," Rex pointed out.

Rex showed an interest in becoming a BB10 producer this evening, as he put a suggestion for next year’s show to the group. He said six housemates should serve another ten while unaware that they are the only housemates elligible to win, implying that the ten 'masters' would be played by actors. Once Darnell grasped what Rex meant, he enthusiastically backed the idea.

Sara had her arm put in a sling after she sliced her finger while chopping vegetables. Rex tended to her bloody wounds, draping a sling over one shoulder to prevent her losing lots more blood. Despite this, Rex casually forgot that Sara had a hand in tonight’s dinner service, as he thanked Kat for the meal. "And Sara!" insisted the Aussie, prompting Rex and Darnell to laugh at their neglect.

As Darnell applied fake tan to his legs, he laughed that he was "not representing" albino people. Michael joked that he was "selling out" before adding that people should say "someone with albinism" rather than "albino". Darnell agreed, explaining that he didn't even like saying "with albinism" and preferred to describe himself as a black man. He added: "I'm an undercover brother."

Michael told Rachel and Kathreya: "The best thing I recommend on Thursday night is an early night. It will be a long one on Friday night." He added that he was just being "realistic". However, Rachel was unconvinced and revealed that she expected to be too excited to sleep.

When Big Brother asked a Head of House to come to the Diary Room, there was a mad rush to the door. Rex bolted from the toilet towards the room but failed to get there in time. "You come out with your thingy hanging out just because you want to go in there," giggled Kathreya. "You're a little bit too competitive there."

Rachel and Rex bickered during the group's game of musical statues. Rachel was acting as spotter when she dithered over who was first out. Rex called out Michael's name and she agreed, but Rex laughed: "I can't believe you were going to pick someone else." Rachel revealed that she had hesitated as Kathreya's waistcoat had moved, but had decided on Michael. "Rex, just keep your mouth shut," she added.
