It was the day after face-to-face nominations rocked the House.

Day 43 saw Sara kick off the morning by trying to settle the argument that had brewed between Adam and Deana the previous night, after Miss India UK had mentioned his name when indulging in some forbidden nominations talk. She took her grievance directly to the man himself over the course of the morning and seemed to have a significant effect on him, showing him how the misunderstanding had played out.

In fact, it was a day in which sour relationships were made sweet across the board. Having heard what the housemates who put him up had to say when it came to nominations, Luke A took the opportunity to iron out a few creases. He spoke to Becky one-on-one and he even managed to break down the barrier that's been going strong between him and the other Luke in a face-to-face conversation we've been waiting to see for far too long.

While Luke was on a mission to build bridges, Lauren did exactly the same, going to Sara for advice on how to deal with the circumstances in the House, with some success.

The gang were eventually offered relief from their high stakes discussions and the opportunity to combine cleaning with cavorting. MP3 players were issued to each of them, but two among their number were given a secret task to carry out while they were about it.

Sadly, thanks to Scott, they all but failed the task. Only Luke S was gifted with a lovely Chinese meal - and he doesn't even like that particular cuisine. But he still polished it off, having been forbidden from sharing it with anyone else.

There was even more bridge-building later on as Lauren continued her peace envoy campaign, and housemates eventually ended the day with all the divisions, possibly temporarily, destroyed.

As the day wound down, and just after we'd looked at Ashleigh's time in the House, Lushleigh took some time out and discussed their relationship. The House, for once, appeared to enter the lights out phase with an aura of calm around its foundations.
