Day 46 - the last day for either Luke A or Lauren began with the hilarious news that Conor had been dreaming about the housemates. He must really care about them if spending his waking hours with them and them alone is not enough of a hit.

In a precursor of evening fireworks to come, Luke A had a bristly reaction to Becky's greeting of "Good morning evictee". Meanwhile Lauren feared her hair would be the only thing bristling once she slept past hairdryer o’clock.

Scott got sentimental about being incarcerated in a bungalow saying that he never wants to leave. Be careful what you wish for, you young rapscallion. Caroline identified a perceived domesticity-shaped flaw in her character then tried to address it by cleaning the kitchen. Well, she said she cleaned the kitchen. There are no records to support this.

The task of the day was A Bit of a Mouthful, literally. Super-competitive Luke S won by fitting an impressive 24 marshmallows in his mouth. We're sure he looked in no way silly and should be very proud of himself for showcasing such a useful talent.

Then it was the time we had all been waiting for, the seventh Big Brother eviction. Lauren's name was read out and she handled herself with regal composure in the period between her fate being sealed and the doors being unsealed.

Elsewhere, Luke A went somewhat rogue, telling home truths all over the shop resulting in an argument with Becky that just would not quit. A near silent Deana somehow also found herself on the receiving end of wagging tongues.  Poor lass.

As the day drew to a close the ripples of the new, straight-talking Luke A seemed to be spreading still further.
