LIVE Task

The 12 new contestants face their first task, live. And to their surprise, just two days into the show the housemates made their first votes. All of them voted for the person they wanted to see go without their suitcase for the duration of their stay in the house. Loose cannon Kitten, who refused to enter the house initially on launch night, continued her rebellious ways and refused to go to the diary room when asked to do so by Big Brother. The votes were counted, and it was Kitten who the housemates decided should go without her case. Back in the studio, Davina looked through her suitcase to see what she would be missing. In addition, she revealed the first eviction would happen on Day 8 of the show. She also announced some shocking plans for the eviction.

No longer than 20 minutes after his advice, Ahmed follows through by confronting Marco and accusing him of being ""unfriendly"" towards him and declares that he didn't even greet him properly on the first night.

When and Who was not revealed.

During the day, tempers within the house were already reaching boiling point. Irritated by his constant cold showers (which Emma and Michelle set up), Victor rants inside the Diary Room, but getting no response takes to the roof to protest. Vanessa makes a fatal mistake when she tells Dan and Shell how she doesn't respect Michelle and that her opinions do not matter, unaware that the 'evictee' she is talking about is watching and listening to it all. By the time the two 'evicted' contestants return at around 10.45pm, the atmosphere in the house is at it's most explosive yet. Annoyed by the girls' return, Victor and Jason retreat to the garden to lick their wounds.

The conversation was planned by Marco and Michelle as a joke, but they do not realise how close they are to the truth about Nadia's secret past. The perfect housemate model, which was originally a female, becomes A Sexual when the boys in the house mould a penis onto it.

Tonight's live task risks another £10,000 of the housemate's remaining £77,000 prize fund in a game of intelligence, skill and strength called Big Brother's Human Games Challenge. Split across three sections, the housemates must divide into three teams and decide how much of their £10,000 stake to risk on each of the three games - for instance, if they're more confident about strength than intelligence or skill, they could risk £5,000 on the strength game and £2,500 each on the skill and intelligence games. Losing a game means they lose the stake risked on that game, winning it means they keep the stake. In the first part, the team taking on the intelligence challenge must rearrange scrambled letters to form a word. In a twist, however, the letters will be displayed on sandwich boards worn by the housemates, so they must rearrange themselves to form the word.

While there, Big Brother told her that she had to nominate one Housemate, and the housemate that she would select would immediately be put up for Eviction on Friday. The way that she would select the Housemate, would be to kiss her on both cheeks, and therefore becoming the Kiss of Betrayal that Judas did to Jesus.

Resident Psychologic Experts analyse further the contestants behaviour in these final weeks of the programme and as end-game begins. As talk moves to the final night, and possibility of winning gets even greater with every passing day, what do the contestants' comments in the Diary Room say, and more importantly, what does their body language fail to conceal. Claims of not being able to win, of not wanting to win, and of not wanting to see other's leave are more often than not false. An in-depth look at body language supports this. But despite the talk of the very serious matter of finale night, the housemates still find time for fun and games. Such energetic rounds of play fighting and other games have become a daily and incredibly important aspect of the housemates lives this year.

Jason is also surprised by Michelle's departure, and reveals he thought that his time would be up this week. In a conversation with Daniel, he asks him why he wasn't honest with Nadia when she thought the audience outside were booing her. In fact, Jason is mistaken.

Daniel insists that he doesn't believe Nadia was getting booed, and correctly so, she wasn't.
