When we last left the housemates Down Under:
Christina and Brenton embarked on a tedious showmance after Daniel and Sid did not complete a task in the panic room, and those two had to choose two security guards to stay up overnight, think you can guess who they chose. Brenton won the latest challenge, and in doing so became the next intruder to become a housemate ensuring the showmance would continue a little longer. Later on, Gabe won the housemate vote to also become a housemate, leaving the twins to say goodbye
HOWEVER, it was not the end of the twins stay as the big man announced there was one last place for one of the twins, and the other would have to leave. Earlier in the day Charlotte II said to her twin Alex that she didn't even want to be in there, make of that what you will.
And there's where we pick up things, as the big man has put together an elaborate challenge for the twins to compete in, and it is up to the twins if they want to compete
We find out that they will compete, let the games begin
And look at that, it's yet another physical/endurance challenge.... To cut a long story short, and this is a bit of a surprise Alex decided to quit rather than her sister. So it will be Charlotte 2 taking the final place, which seems a bit bizarre after saying she didn't even want to be in there.
Nothing to talk about with this challenge really, as it was just the twins standing there and a little talking from anyone else. Must have been torture in every sense of the word when it happened in real time, and even the housemates went to bed eventually.
And finally we move onto the next day, and as expected the two meatheads in Brenton and Mitch are shirtless, while Charlotte 2 nails her colours to the new Team Daniel.
Food task
First of all, we see SJ hoarding food. Where have we seen that before, oh yeah Carole from UK series 8. SJ's hoarding does not go un-noticed by the big man.
For this week's food task, Tilly is named by Jess as the most excitable housemate and Jess is informed that Tilly's new mic was installed with a pedometer, that is to count how many steps Tilly takes, for those that don't know. Jess and the housemates must stop Tilly from taking any steps, any steps she does take will be deducted from the food budget.
They are starting off with $1,000, but for every 1,000 recorded steps Tilly makes $250 will be deducted, and if Tilly finds out about the secret mission, the task is failed automatically.
Loving that they cannot keep Tilly still, and she continues to bounce off the walls. She's my favourite this season, don't think I've said that enough this season.
Anyways, they have pretty much blown this task and the big man reveals they lost $750 from their budget, so it will just be basics for the next few days.
The big man tells Tilly what the pedometer recorded, and she wonders out loud if the others are stupid, and I think the answer would be a resounding YES....
Gabe is really struggling to adjust to house life, which has not gone un-noticed by Daniel.....
Oh jeez, here we go for tonight's showmance push, think I will just skip over some of this. Last episode's marathon segment really did my head in, but kudos to Ari for saying what most of us think about the nomance, and intends to keep his eye on Brenton.
The big man announces 15 minutes until the nominations challenge, and the battle lines between Ari and Brenton continue to be drawn
Nominations challenge
The big man announces all of them as full housemates will play, and that there will be no more intruders. He goes down the line asking some questions of the housemates. Basically, balloon inflating and then popping it on their respective spears. First to pop their balloon wins. That's all.... Yet another physical challenge....
Mitch 2 eventually wins, and will get to nominate 3 to put on the block
He nominates Ari, Charlotte I and Gabe....
However, Ari is let off the block as his pump failed during the challenge so it's down to Charlotte I and Gabe, but will also not be able to vote at eviction time.
Don't think anyone would notice if Charlotte I went. I know the edit is not kind to her, as it comes across as she does nothing. We can only wait until she is evicted and let her give her side if she is on social media that is.
10 minutes until eviction, announces the big man
Gabe pays a visit to the Diary Room to say he is pretty stressed already, what show did he think he was signing up for?
Eviction
And here comes Ma Cougar Kruger for another night...
She immediately goes to work, stirring the pot in regards to the new housemates and the recruitment of the newbies to the various factions. She then asks Mitch 2 about his nominations, and she brings up the technicality which saved Ari. Ari says he knew he would be in big trouble if he had stayed on the chopping block.
And the votes are in:
Gabe - 5 votes
Charlotte I - 6 votes
Bye bye finally to Charlotte I, but hold up..... Gabe has asked to be summoned to the diary room and asks if he can quit, as he feels overwhelmed by the louder personalities. The big man announces Gabe has been granted his release, to a mixed reaction from the housemates.
Sort of reminds me of UK series 6 when Kemal was evicted, and Orlaith walked the very next morning effectively stealing his spotlight for the rest of that week.
Anyway, another week done and next week looks like being a shocking and chilly experience, and yes more pushing of the nomance.....
To be continued, as 3 more leave the compound over the course of the week and head back to civilian life, as the clock ticks down a little further to crowning this year's winner. Remember, WHO WINS, AUSTRALIA DECIDES
