Monday

The week began with a crazy twist on the usual nominations process. It was the week that friends and family got to nominate on behalf of housemates, and nobody expected the fallout to be quite so extensive. There were some unexpected calls - nobody expected Sara's mother to pick out Scott, for example - but the biggest source of trouble came from Becky's corner. When her sister made mention of Luke A's earlier infamous BMI comment it went from being an ill-thought out, incidental and under the breath curse into a catalyst for war. To say Becky wasn't happy would be an understatement. Luke A paid for his comment in spades.

Tuesday

Still reeling from the nominations madness, housemates awoke to find a strange presence in the garden. A large white outhouse had suddenly landed in their exterior outdoor area. After Luke S and Ashleigh had one of their first official rows as a couple, The White Room suddenly came into play. But first the HMs had to decide who was going to inhabit the thing, and BB put them under pressure to make a quick decision. It was Conor, Luke S and Sara who ended up pulling on white clobber in the overlit compound. And then the day's activities began. Milking It tested Luke S's agility, while The White Form task tested their knowledge of their fellow housemates and the Hammer Slammer gave Sara the chance to test her memory. Back in the House, the non-White Room inhabitants took on the same tasks, and it was soon revealed that The White Roomers had won.

Wednesday

With an economy budget on the cards, shopping list preparations were underwhelming but far less tense than the previous, more chocolatey week. But at least the housebound gang weren't restricted to eating white-only comestibles like the White Roomers. There were more games on the cards when Big Brother introduced Musical Charades into the mix, causing much hilarity. The chuckles could only last so long, however, and soon a slightly claustrophobic Sara left The White Room, leaving Conor and Luke S to fight it out. Back in the House that evening, the newly returned Sara got political and this fuelled a new row with Deana. Yet again, nobody was entirely sure who was on what side, what started it and what the point was. Sound and fury, signifying nothing some might say.

Thursday

Sara and Deana's politically motivated tiff spilled over in Thursday morning sending Sara into the arms of Becky. Ashleigh and Becky competed against Conor and Luke S in The White Answer task. Luke S got pretty irate with Ashleigh who did not seem to be taking the task too seriously. Becky triumphed which scored Conor a treat and Luke S a punishment. Conor received a steak dinner while Luke S separated white and brown beans with chop sticks. Becky let rip with some show tunes after scaring Scott half to death by jumping out on him in the bathroom.

Friday

A cream pie in the faces of each of our housemates took attention away from the big issue of the night's eviction on Friday. A cream tea party was won but there was always going to be a loser at the end of the night and Becky proved to be the unlucky housemate, leaving as she arrived, with plenty of fist pumping and whooping. But Big Brother had one more surprise for the housemates. Conor and Luke S, languishing in The White Room were given a get out of the House with £50k card which our Derry Man took from the trusting hands of Luke S. Luke S was mortified and housemates were in a state of shock as Conor strolled through the front door clutching a case full of cash. Housemates tried to console Luke s telling him it, 'wasn’t about the money' and that his guaranteed place in the final was a worthy second prize. Understandably, he struggled to accept any of this, telling Ashleigh he would always be known as 'the guy who almost won 50 grand.'

Saturday

Saturday came and with it Luke S's realisation that he had let £50k slip through his manicured fingers. He replayed the previous night's events over and over but failed to sooth his troubled mind. The Magic Potions Task offered a welcome distraction. Housemates were called to the Diary Room one by one and given a 'potion'. Housemates had to analyse the 'effects' of the magic brew and come to a conclusion about what they had imbibed. The task was passed and the reward was a party - which called for the obligatory epic dressing up session.  Cocktails flowed and Deana took talk a step too far in Ashleigh's opinion, upsetting Luke S by asking him why he hadn't been quicker off the mark and pressed that White Room button.  With a bit of an atmosphere hanging over the House, the group opted for an early night.

Sunday

Sunday certainly was a funday with housemates proving their dexterity with chocolate fingers. Deana managed to balance the most choccy bars on her face winning housemates a TV dinner for which they dressed accordingly. By accordingly we mean they dressed up for a night on the town. Social norms go out the window after 62 days in the Big Brother House. Housemates were treated to a viewing of their profile VTs from launch night which caused a few cringe moments along with a couple of giggles.

Housemates hung out in relative harmony for a while but the peace was shattered by a tiff between Sara and Scott who fell out over a misunderstanding over what Sara's mum said during nominations. They hugged it out. Luke S went to bed early again and Ashleigh and Sara followed soon after leaving Deana, Scott, Luke A and Adam to mull over their time in the House and ponder what tomorrow may bring.

It's nominations day and Luke S may be the one to sleep soundly as Day 62 draws to a close. For the other six, there's still a chance they may not make the final.
