For most of the day the housemates were in a chilled mood, having burned themselves out yesterday with wave-upon-wave of feverish paranoia. We found out who was up for eviction but for a window of time - both delicious and tense - the housemates were none the wiser.

During what wise prophets shall dub the 'ignorance is bliss' period, deep and meaningful chats were all the rage and two bromances blossomed, both in the bathroom area (not a euphemism). Chris gave strapping hunk Benedict a bit of a sponge down while Luke S opened his heart to Adam.

Games were next on the menu as the HMs proved their inability across a range of family favourites. First they sucked at hide and seek, then they sucked at charades, then they sucked at 'zip, zap, boing'

Inevitably, the calm was shattered when Big Brother announced who had been nominated for eviction this week. Chris immediately crashed. Arron experienced a false high then crashed in spectacular fashion. Nothing like bad news to slice through a front.

We got excited when we saw Ashleigh and Luke S lying in bed together whispering in the darkness. "Let's get it on," we sung, hoping our voices would carry through to the House. It wasn't to be. There's always tomorrow.
