Housemates punished by Sophia's plotting

The housemates have been punished by Big Brother after Sophia and Marcus discussed nominations.

Big Brother summoned the housemates to the dining table earlier this afternoon to reveal that Sophia, who is currently up for eviction, had openly talked about who she wished to nominate.

Reciting an earlier conversation, Big Brother said: "Yesterday at 11.41pm in a conversation with Siavash, Sophie said, 'If I don't go I'll tell you this, I'm voting for the leader every week, do you know what I mean?'"

Saffia let out a short laugh after suspecting who Sophia was talking about.

Big Brother then proceeded to read further dialogue, saying: "'She needs to go. There's nothing exciting about her. Without Charlie and thingy, where is she?'"

While the housemates began to realise who she had been gossiping about, Charlie turned to Sophia and asked: "Why did you say that?"

A defiant Sophia replied: "Because that's how I felt."

"So if Charlie wasn't here, I'd be boring?," then queried Saffia. "Yeah, I think you're boring," she answered.

Shrugging her shoulders, Saffia told Sophia: "Fine, take 'em away."

Following Charlie's reminder to Saffia that Sophie had said she would "vote for [her] every week", Saffia said that she already knew she would.

Shortly before addressing Sophia's rule-breaking, Big Brother also told the housemates that Marcus had told Freddie (Halfwit) that he had not voted for him.

As a result of both indiscretions, the housemates will be punished by doubling the price of every item on this week's shopping list.
