Housemates awoke to a river running through the garden. Day 2 of the Gold Rush task had more challenges and a big surprise lined-up for our housemates.

First up, the Spaghetti Western task involved housemates demolishing piles of pasta. With those bloated bellies, we're glad we weren't sharing a bedroom with them - it gets windy enough there as it is.

The teams who had triumphed in previous tasks earned extra time for the final showdown - panning for gold. Only The Bad had failed to pick the all important additional seconds and, despite their best efforts, were beaten by The Good. As a result, Luke S, Sara and Scott were made immune from nominations, although they still had to nominate.

The total gold panned decided whether or not housemates had passed the shopping part of the task. They failed, meaning economy meals for a week aw.

Big Brother had one more surprise for the housemates - good ol' face-to-face nominations.

Sat around the campfire, they were given a pack of cards with housemates' faces on and had to pick two. Nominations rained down on Lauren, while Luke A came a close second, meaning the pair of them face the public vote.

Luke A took nominations hard, struggling largely with not being popular. Deana gave him some tough love and Lauren offered him a shoulder to cry on. He realised he had real friends in the house, unlike the Insiders whose fickle friendships were deemed as faltering constantly.

Lauren has confronted a couple of housemates who picked her and is showing herself to have toughened up a lot since Week 1.

Housemates have been a bitchin' and a gossipin' all day, but just when they thought they were home and dry - BB called them in to the living area. At almost 1am they were informed nominations had been discussed, not once, but FOUR times.

The main culprit was Deana who seemed to think saying things like; "we mustn't talk about this" while discussing noms would some how act as a get-out-of-jail-free card. How wrong she was. Goodbye hot water. Her excuse, the rules aren't clear.
