Who's hot and who's not! Who's in and who's out! What tasks has BB set them! Who's been talking about who!
Nomination day: The promised hot tub wasn't delivered. Tom is up and sunbathing in the garden. Craig is up. They get the days food from the freezer. Mel gets up at 10:30am. Tom and Craig are sunbathing in the garden. Then BB said, 'Can everyone make sure that the chickens are in the coop'.
Craig and Claire are sunbathing. Claire said, 'My Mum flies light aircraft to France. If I got a helicopter, I could do the up the road jobbies. Probably safer than my driving'. Craig agrees. The conversation turns to being sucked out of a plane. Claire said, 'I wonder what sort of splat shape I would make'. They go into the intricacies of the scientific factors involved, i.e. velocity, gravity, speed, time and distance. All the maths mumbo jumbo you were taught at school.
Claire said to Craig, 'I was led in bed last night thinking we should have a piggy back duel. I'll be referee, otherwise our team will lose'. They are still having a laugh and telling little stories.
Mel emerges from the shower at 11:45am. At 11:50am, Anna is awake.
Craig is talking to Claire about his life and the house he is building not far from the pub his family used to own. He then tells Claire about the incident with Nick. Craig said, 'I felt like there had been a death in the house'. Darren said, 'I felt guilty'.
There are discussions about birds of the feathered variety.
Anna and Mel move on to the subject of sexuality. Mel said, 'There was this boy who had never been out with girls. He returned from university and told his family that he was gay. He was a good looking guy as well. For some reason, his family just knew. He was lucky to find his family so supportive'. Anna then said, 'When I came out it was a relief. A weight off my shoulders. My friend Patricia took me under her wing. She took me to a gay bar in Dublin. My grand parents found it easier to accept and were very supportive. My friend Catherine sent me a card when I came out. Which was really nice'. Anna then explained that she had left Dublin because a relationship had gone wrong. Mel had a good backstab at Craig. Then Mel said, 'I had a bad relationship and used to go to gay bars just to get away. It was uncomplicated and sexy. I had a relationship with a guy who turned out to be gay. It fell through. It was a horrid experience'.
At 3:30pm. Darren , Claire, Mel and Anna are looking at a magazine and discussing fashion.
Darren said to Mel, 'Would you take your boyfriend back after you leave here?' Mel said, 'No'.

Darren said to Mel regarding Nick, 'Who did he not want to nominate?' Mel said, 'Tom'. Mel said to Anna, 'He mentined you a couple of times'. Darren said, 'We all have talks. Sometimes things come out of the blue. I thought people are watching you'. Anna said, 'I expect they show all the fluffy nice things on the show'.

Mel and Anna are talking about music exams. Mel said, 'I play the piano when I'm angry'.
Mel, Anna, Darren and Tom are discussing the level of offensiveness of swear words. They then discuss school uniforms.
They are trying to find the lighter. Mel said, 'I last saw it when I went to bed'. Tom said to Claire, 'You may have moved it'. Mel said, 'What? When she was tidying up and not realised it'.
Darren said to Mel. 'Are you going to sleep with a woman before you die?' Mel said, 'I may do'.
They are checking all over the place for the lighter. Mel said, 'We've got to find the lighter'.
Anna said, 'Have you ever eaten polenta?' Mel said, 'It's a Spanish dish. It's very mushy. You wouldn't like it. But you can make it into a firm kind of cake'.
They begin discussing who would make the worst celebrity date for each housemate. Who they would like to be for one day and the most daring thing they have ever done. Claire is sitting on Tom's knee.
Mel said to Claire, 'Who would you most like to shag in this room?' Claire said, 'That's a bit unfair'. There is only one guy in the room - Tom.
Claire said to Mel, 'What are the last 3 things you do before you go to bed?' Mel said, 'I don't know. I just take my clothes off and get into bed'. Then Anna said, 'and have a good trumpet'.
At 7:15pm the klaxon goes off.
Claire said to Anna. 'What do you want to do when you get out of here?' Anna said, 'Sometimes I have realistic dreams. I have my job to go back to at the skateboard company'. Claire said, 'Cool job'. Anna then said, 'It's a cool place to work. I used to work in a bank'. Claire said, 'I can't imagine you working in a bank'. Anna said, 'They offered me a job in Human Resources. I thought great. I'll be able to pay off all my debts. Hmmmm......that didn't quite work out'.
Anna went to the Diary Room and forgot to turn her mic off. You can hear her talking to BB. She said, 'I'm in a better mood today. Yesterday I was fed up, aggitated and annoyed but today I'm in a better mood'. They must ask her something about Claire. Anna said, 'She's settling in very well. She's brilliant'. Then they cut off her mic.
Anna and Claire are reading their books. Mel and Tom are making something to eat. Mel said to Claire, 'Do you want noodles?' Claire said, 'Sorry I can't eat them'. Then Anna said, 'You don't need to apologise'.
They are still frustrated about the lighter. Craig is talking to the camera above the Diary Room. Craig said, 'Does Craig know where the lighter is?' Anna said, 'Does Craig know where the lighter is? I hate you. You do don't you Craig?' Darren said, 'Where are Craig's chocolate biscuits?' Craig said, 'When did you use it last?' Darren said, 'Last night'.
Claire is in the kitchen washing up.
Suddenly the housemates are marching out into the garden doing a sound-off.
They come back in then participate in some word games. They are making stories up going around the group one and two words at a time.
Claire said to Darren, 'I ate one of your wheat thingies yesterday. I haven't been to the toilet since. So, if I explode it's your fault'.
They have a series of conversations. About the rape drug, Reyhypnol. A dilemma that Claire found herself in involving her boyfriend and her best friend. Other hypothetical stories.
Anna went to see BB about the lighter but, BB would not help at all.
Anna then said, 'What is the minxiest thing you have ever done?' Claire said, 'I was in this club in Ibiza dancing next to this really good looking guy. The next thing, this girl comes over and asks me if I'm with the fella. I said, no. This girl was deilghted'.
They start talking about contraception. Claire said, 'Would you believe a girl if she said she was on the pill?' Craig said, 'No. I'd take precautions. Better safe than sorry'. Tom said, 'I would use a condom if it was a stranger I didn't know'. Anna said, 'What if you hadn't been with anyone else or been to a foreign country?' Tom said, 'They are all local girls'. Someone said, 'How many?' Tom said, 'Less than 10'. Craig said, 'You mean you've slept with 10. What if those 10 slept with somebody else?' Mel said, 'Why don't you wear condoms? Don't you like them?' Tom said, 'No'. Mel saidd, 'What if you get a girl pregnant?' Craig said, 'Fuck that'. Anna said to Tom, 'I'd seriously think of wearing condoms for your own health'. Craig said, 'Yeah! Do it all the time'. Tom said, 'I must have given a terrible impression'. Anna said, 'It only takes one person to go with another one'. Craig said, 'If they aren't practising safe sex. You should'. Tom said, 'You just don't make an issue of it where I live'. Someone said, 'But you don't want it to become an issue'. Anna saidn, 'If you are off anywhere on holiday with anyone, wear a condom'. Mel said, 'Girls looking at you now and knowing what they know. They might think twice'.
