It was the news they'd been dreading: Big Brother's second round of nomination reveals.

"Everyone get prepared for an emotion-fest," said Arron, as the housemates gathered nervously on the sofa.  Little did the Mancunian model realise that his name would be the second one read out. The first was "Chris". It's been a rough night for men with names in the A-C region of the alphabet.

Their reactions could not have been more of a contrast. Chris slumped while Arron bounced up and shouted at his new rival, "Yes! Y'know why? Because I think the public love you and I could do with getting out of this place. Come and give me a hug, bro, we can do it!"

The pair embraced while Arron murmured in Chris's ear, "You know I love you and I did not put you up."

While Arron leapt around in a suspiciously hyper mood, reassuring everyone that he was fine, a crushed Chris was led off to be consoled by Shievonne.

The helium-voiced sausage-fiend confided that he didn't fancy his chances against Arron. "Male model, man," he said, voice aching. Mama Shiv was having none of it. After initially suggesting to Chris that he, "rock out with your c**k out", she proceeded to sounder logic, advising, "Be yourself because if you go out as a moody g*t;you're going to be thinking, 'I should have enjoyed myself.'" New recruits to the Cheer-Up-Chris-Brigade, Conor and Sara, echoed this wisdom.

Meanwhile, in the lounge, Arron was also on the receiving end of tactical advice, courtesy of Benedict and Lydia. "If you want to stay then you've got to let people know... that was Victoria's problem," said Lydia. But the boy was not for turning. "If I go, I'll be back in my environment, but if I stay then the public love me," he whooped. We like this glass half-full approach but is it for real, Az? Are any of us made only of sunshine and rainbows?"

Amid all these emotions, one remark emerged as the most joyously barking. If Chris ends up going Shievonne wants him to "fart in a jar so I can remember you." That's lovely, Shiv, just... lovely.
