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

Mikey smiled broadly today as he recalled the water fight played out in the house yesterday when everyone was blindfolded and pretending to be him. "Honestly, I was on the floor in hysterics," he told the group, as he remembered soaking his unsuspecting fellow housemates.

Rex revealed that he had thought the group were going to have to nominate one person to leave the house today when they were asked to gather in the living area. He said the fact that they were all asked to stand up had prompted his concerns. When he asked Rachel who she would have said, Mikey answered: "I knew you were going to ask that, Rex." Rachel smiled and said she was not going to give Rex a reply, adding that she was content to "sit on the fence".

Darnell and Rachel thanked their lucky stars they were in Big Brother this year, claiming the house is the "best ever". Darnell said he had been told that previous housemates did not have such a large pool, while Rachel noted: "We’ve been very lucky."

Sara said she was "over" makeup today as she applied her cosmetics in B-block. She added that she wished she was someone who could wake up in the morning and just look good. "Like Rachel," Mikey replied, prompting agreement from the PA.

Rex told Darnell today that he was "shocked to the core" that Sara was still in the house. The two men were swimming in the pool when Rex shared his thoughts. Darnell said he thought she would do well, but was stunned she had outlasted Kathreya.

Mikey told Sara today that Mohamed had not "done himself any favours" in the last week. Sara agreed, saying he had turned quite nasty, while Mikey branded him "very selfish". They both agreed that Kat was the opposite and always thought of others. "Kat was caring, there is no doubt," said Mikey. However, he added that her devotion to "friendship and loyalty" was over the top and probably her downfall.

Today's Rap Battle task received the thumbs up from Sara this evening when she told the group that it had been "so much fun". Rex was not quite so enthusiastic, stating that he thought he looked stupid. "That is one episode I will not be watching," he went on to say. "Mikey, you certainly impressed me with your break dancing skills. I wasn’t expecting that," Sara then enthused.

Darnell and Sara snuggled under the same blanket on the sofas this evening, at one point both diving underneath. Sara emerged a few seconds later because she said she could not breathe. "That was a nice little moment," she told the group.

Sara and Darnell made a bet over the film Thelma And Louise. Sara said she believes it stars Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, while Darnell said it was Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts. Darnell will have to drink Peach Schnapps if he is wrong, and Sara said tonight that she can’t wait to prove she is right.

Rachel and Mikey spent part of the evening inspecting the garden plants for spiders. Rachel said she could see quite a few webs, but the spiders were nowhere to be seen. "Maybe Mr Wasp has eaten them all up for tea," Mikey stated. Rachel said she preferred her theory that they were hiding as bad weather was on its way.

Rex went to the Diary Room, but when he came out Big Brother failed to open the main house door, leaving him stuck in the corridor. He lay on the floor looking up at a camera and asked: "What's going on? Let me in! Hello!" He went on to hold two fingers up and said there were just two days left, before adding that he couldn't wait to see Nicole.

Darnell revealed to Rachel and Michael that when Sara had arrived, he had told Dale and Stuart that there were coincidences and similarities that made him think that she had been put in the house for him. However, he went on to say that Dale had repeated everything to Sara as if it was from him. "It was bogus," he laughed. "It was hilarious."
