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

Rex said all the big characters have now gone from the show now so he doubted anyone would be watching. The housemate was in the kitchen thinking about the beef and potato dinner they would have when he made the bleak statement. Darnell concurred, adding: "This is the worst Big Brother ever."

Sara was dragged through the living room on Darnell’s shoulder today dressed only in a towel. Darnell said he was going to share his "bounty" with Rex, while he continued to cart around the squealing Aussie.

Rachel realised her perfect profession as she was chatting in the garden with Mikey this afternoon. Referring to her love of fruit, Rachel said she should open her own greengrocers. Mikey said she should be cautious, adding that increasing competition could make life hard. However, Rachel said the independent food suppliers around her home are always really busy, especially at Christmas.

Housemates dressed up as Sara as the final part of today's impersonation task. They put on black dresses and tights, and Sara insisted that the boys put on makeup. However, as it came after the two shock evictions, the group's heart wasn't in it and Rex later revealed that Sara was the only person he found it hard to imitate.

Rex admitted that he was missing Nicole, but the other housemates reminded him that he would see her in a few days. Sara added that he knew she was supporting him so he didn't have to worry about that. Later, before he went to bed, Rex looked at the Nicole doll the housemates had been given as part of the impersonation task.

The housemates were given a luxury hamper full of food and alcohol after successfully impersonating each other. Darnell was unimpressed, saying Big Brother was just trying to appease them after the evictions. However, Sara tucked into the food as Rex teased her about how much she had eaten. She later admitted to feeling ill after overindulging.

Darnell admitted that he felt bad for telling Kathreya all series that she would win, and added that he wished he could now take all of their arguments back. He went on to say that Mohamed had been "screwed" by Big Brother throughout the show, including being evicted in the middle of a song when he truly believed he would be in the final.

Sara told Rex that Stuart was her "perfect" man except that his muscles were too big. However, she refused to carry on talking, claiming that she was embarrassed. She laughed that she might have trouble getting a boyfriend as she was a tomboy, but Rex revealed that although he liked girly girls, he believed that tomboy girls had an "amazing quality".

Rex admitted that his father was his "hero" and an "amazing" man. He explained that he was always coming out with stories Rex hadn't heard before, adding that if anyone should write a book, it is him. "There's nothing like unconditional love from the person who's your hero," he smiled.

Rachel spent time packing Kathreya's suitcase. However, she had so much stuff that Rachel filled the case, a swag bag and a bin bag. She took Kathreya's cookie jar to the Diary Room so it wouldn't get smashed, but made sure she put some cookies from the hamper in it first. She also added a flower from the garden as Kathreya had said she wanted to give one to her boyfriend.
