Richard: "We're pieces on a board game"

The housemates have had a frank discussion about the psychology of Big Brother, agreeing that they alone control whether things get nasty.

"It's a psychological gameplay," said Dawn in reference to the Big Brotherhood twist, which has left Bonnie in tears and Shahbaz and Sezer at loggerheads.

"We can't be nasty and judgemental to the people who are having to do what they've been told," asserted Lea, pointing out that Shahbaz and Lisa have had no choice but to select some people and not others.

"They're not creating the drama, we are," Richard agreed. "They're just creating the situation - it's up to us how we react."

"Like any board game, this house is a board game," he continued. "We are the pieces on the board and they (the producers) are moving us."

Meanwhile, Sezer claimed that he wouldn't take being nominated personally. "If someone voted for me, I'd say 'fair enough mate'," he announced. "You've got to vote for someone, so why not me?"
