Days 1-11
Day 1
*Players get to know eachother. Kim is instantly attracted to lleyton, she tells monica that she loves aussie guys .*
* Jennifer and Martina are chatting about guys over a heineken beer , and reminisce about their past loves*
*Tim seems quite passive, Goran is instantly the life of the party, he and Serena hit it off well*
*Lleyton, Andy and Marat discuss which girls they would shag in the house. Surprise, Surprise, Lleyton says kim. Marat has a preference towards Jenn, but both him and Andy say they would be quite content to give it it to any of the girls in the house *
*Unamused by the gossip, Venus and Juan Carlos set up an outdoor basketball ring*
DAY 2
*All housemates sit around the breakfast table discussing what it will be like being watched 24/7. With so many "big" personalities in the house it is hardly surprising that most are indifferent, only Kim, Monica, Tim and Juan Carlos express concern at the isolation. Andy tells them that they shouldn't have gone in for the experience if they were going to whine *
*Later on in the day the first signs of romance are present in the house. While performing a dancing task, their weekly lifeline, Kimmy and Lleyton get rather close Moncia tells Martina what a sweet couple they would make. Jenn is cracking on to Marat in a big way. Not that he isn't liking it Andy cracks onto Martina but she brushes him off in true Marti style*
*Of all the housemates, a bond seems to be occuring between Juan Carlos and Venus. They ahve deep conversations about why we are here, andh ow we can improve our lives. It is very clear however that this is more friendship than romance*
*Goran plays a practical joke, putting chilli beans into marat's coffee. Serena can't stop laughing, when marat's face goes redder and redder *
DAY 3
*Nomination Day looms large on the housemates minds. Alll are a little anxious. The other housemates are all up, when Jenn and Marat emerge from the bedroom*
*Later in the day Jenn breaks one of the fundamental BB rules by discussing nominations with Kim, Monica and Martina. Jennifer thinks the Williams sisters are bound to work together and not nominate each other. After all '... if they won't compete with each other on the tour, they certainly not going to compete against each other in here'. Indeed Jennifer thinks that Richard Williams has already decided who the sisters will vote for(he he). All four are hauled into the diary room and reprimanded. One more stunt like this and their will be real repercussions*
*Meanwhile their seems to be a real practical joke war developing between the mischevious duo Serena and Goran and Marat. As payback for the chilli-coffee stunt, Marat nicks one of Serena's bras and suggest a game of catch the ball. Serena retaliates with the help of Goran by nicking a pair of Marat's Calvin Klein jocks and flies it from the highest posting in the garden*
*The others make Marat's jocks the national flag of the big brother house and it was last seen flying at full mast*
*Jenn tells Martina, that she thinks Serena is trying to muscle in on Marat, who she considers her man...confrontation looms*
*Unbeknowns to the others, Lleyton and Kim hold hands at the dinner table then more conspiculously snuggle after dinner. Theirs is a slow blooming romance.*
DAY 4
*For the second day in succession Jennifer and Marat emerge from the bedroom together. Jennifer obviously feels she has taken the first game against Serena to love and walks around the house singing 'The boy is mine'. However Marat was impressed with just howmany balls Serena's bra could hold and admits to Goran that he is keeping his options open(as well as the door to the bedroom)*
*Jennifer tells Martina that the hottest guy in the house is clearly Marat and she is intent on keeping him for herself*
*Venus and Tim take their nominations well, particularly Tim who knows that it is all part of the game, he does however realise that he has not blended with the other housemates just yet. Goran as usual is a little volatile telling Marat that obviously f**** dead**** are liked more than livewires*
*Monica tells Serena and Venus that Jennifer has been backstabbing them to the other housemates, but does not devulge exactly how, as she knows that talk of nominations is forbidden. Monica is still fuming about the Fed Cup incident and thinks she can get the sisters to get Jennifer without getting her own hands dirty*
*Serena and Venus just laugh off what Monica has told them about Jennifer, but all of a sudden Serena is going around the house singing 'Somebody else's guy'. Do Serena and Venus have something up their sleeve?*
*Feeling left out, Tim joins forces with Venus and Juan in discussing the meaning of life and how to improve it for all those not fortunate enough to be tennis millionaires. The three just don't know how people cope. Marat and Goran has labelled this group the B.O.F(boring old ****)*
*Marat's CK's still fly proudly of the big brother garden*
DAY 5
*In the midst of his nomination week, Tim attempts to become more involved with household activities and and offers a pair of his good old fashion British Y-Fronts as the BB national flag as an alternative to Marat's CK's. Marat throws down Tim's y-fronts in disgust the same way he throws down his raquets and tells Tim to offer his undies when he has grown out of age 10-11. Tim keeps his stiff upper lip, but takes a disliking to Marat...*
*Martina has been the darkhorse of the first week, absorbing much but giving away little. She has become Jennifer's confidant in the house, and after Jennifer and Marat spend much of the night pashing in bed, Jennifer tells her that the relationship is "heading in the right direction". In Jen's absence, Martina opens up by the pool in the afternoon and shows her fliratious side - unfortunately her subject is MARAT! She tells him how he looks like a porn star with that goatee and later they share a giggle when upon seeing his feet she says...."you know what they say about guys with big feet...."*
*Serena and Goran are worried as Marat is very quiet - they are not sure if this is due to his time with Jennifer in the bedroom or because he has a joke up his sleeve. Goran swears that a pair of his jocks are missing and Serena is so worried, she has got into the habit of counting her bras*
*After Dinner, Andy tells the house about his first release of sexual attention in the house. "four days was the limit man...i was gonna explode" No one else is about to own up...yet*
*Later on in the evening Lleyton tell's Kim that he has never been as attracted to a girl for her inner beauty as he is right now. Kim leans over and kisses him on the cheek. They spend the rest of the night holding hands*
DAY 6
*With all the romance in the air, Venus, Serena and Goran have an early hour (2 AM) chat about couples in the house. Goran tells the girls that Andy and Tim, the two "pansies" would go great together. Venus and Serena chuckle. Serena reveals that the only interest she has in Marat is to piss off Jen*
*As the sun comes out bright on Day 6, the housemates become much more outdoor oriented. All six girls, clad in bikinis decide to sunbake poolside. Andy comments on how sexy they all look. Meanwhile the boys spend the early afternoon playing backyard soccer on a makeshift pitch. Juan Carlos, who had always aspired to play spanish league, was the star - and this does not go unnoticed by the girls. Martina says that there is something sexy about a really coordinated guy; "Its such an aphrodisiac" she tells Jen*
*Later in the day, they all play a game of water-volleyball using a net that Big Brother provides for them. The teams are Marat, Jen, Martina, Monica, Juan and Tim Versus Andy, Lleyton, Kim, Venus, Serena and Goran. Goran and Serena spend the whole match aiming a Marat's head, when Serena finally hits him she crosses the net - and kisses marat on the cheek "you know we love u baby" she says and flashes her trademark grin at Jen. Tim leaves the match early, feeling "ill" and goes to read his novel, no one bothers to go after him. Marat says, "now his f***** up the god damn teams"*
*After the sun had set, the housemates gather for dinner and agree this had been the best day yet in the house. Jen pashes Marat, as if marking her territory, while Martina seems to be shrugging off her attraction to marat in favour of Juan Carlos. She, joins him, Venus and Serena in a conversation about whether their time in the house will change their perspectives of eachother. Martina snuggles up to Juan Carlos, while saying that she hopes to make many close bonds while in the house*
*Before bed time, Tim is called into the diary room - big brother wants to see how he is finding his nomination week. He says he doesn't think that he is fitting in all that well and believes all the house mates have secrets about him behind his back. He says that he doesn't know if he is just paranoid about his nomination, or there are really issues*
Day 7
*After spending nearly a week in the house, the housemates are settling into the rhythm of life*
*Juan speaks to Tim about Martina's obvious attraction to him. However Juan admitted that while he liked Martina as a friend, he didn't want a tennis chick as a partner. *
*Late in the afternoon, Serena is in the pool with Marat playing a game of ducking. Jennifer spots the pair and immediately makes her way over to the pool and asks Marat to rub some lotion on her back.. Serena knows that Jennifer is determined to keep her man and grins at her. *
*Serena proceeds to the bedroom to change, but leaves her towel behind. Marat spots the towel and remembering the game of catch he played with Serena's bra proceeds to the bedroom to return the towel. Jennifer leaps out of her chair in a single bound that would do Superman proud and grabs hold of one end of the towel and says ' I can bring it to her'. Marat replies ' No, you stay here for an hour or so and get your suntan!!'. Jennifer has one end of the towel, Marat the other and the two then proceed to play tug the towel. Jennifer is adamant that Marat is not going to be alone in the bedroom with Serena (after all she remembers what happened when they were in the bedroom alone together...), while Marat is insistent that he makes the most of this golden opportunity by taking the towel to Serena. Other members of the house notice the tug of towel and Goran is in hysterics. Venus walks over and grabs her sister's towel. Jennifer inwardly sighs with relief, Marat however is cursing that such an opportunity had slipped him by. It felt almost as bad as his Australian Open loss!!!.*
*Feeling a little isolated by all the romance, Monica and Tim bond while fixing dinner for the other housemates. They both agree that the way this house has panned out is not at all conducive to "less extroverted personalities". Tim tells Monica that he still has something to prove in the house and wants to stay - " I wanna stay in, and prove that the loudest isn't always the mightiest.*
*After dinner, venus is called into the diary room, as part of big brother's attempt to get to know how the nominees are feeling. Venus says that she is on top of the world, totally at peace, and while she would like to stay longer, she would not be totally upset if she left. She says that apart from her sister she has been closest to Juan, Goran and Monica while in the house. As if getting back at those who question the intensity of their sibling rivalry she says; " I would like to last longer than Serena in the house, who ever lasts longer out of the two of us is gonna be able to hang a lot on the other one - this is a game and I wanna win!"*
*On the sofa, Martina tells lleyton and Kim that she is a little confused at the moment - and that the environment is exacerbating all her doubts. Lleyton and Kim both agree that they are lucky to have eachother. Kim openly saying "Lleyton is my Rock "*
*Before Bed Time Big Brother makes an announcement....tommorow be ready for a surprise...."
DAY 8
*Tim wakes early knowing that this could well be his last full day in the house. Making breakfast for the other housemates, Tim has found solace this week in everyday chores which he has found given him focus where his relationships with the other housemates weren't.*
*The boys/girls have been showering seperately up until now and all have discarded their underwear except Tim, Juan, Monica and Kim. On this day their is the first unisex shower between Lleyton, Martina, Serena and Jennifer. After their shower the three girls decide that Lleyton is "hung like a rogue elephant", and nick name him donkey boy*
*The housemates eagerly await their first real "surprise" of their time in the house. Kim thinks it may be an intruder, but Jennifer insists undiplomatically that they wouldn't be putting intruders in this early in the series. Kim, being very sensitive, doesn't show that she is hurt but later tells monica "you know, some people in the house are really fun people, and its great that they are loud and make this place fun...but then again sometimes I wish there were some more "nice people" in the house. Monica offers her a shoulder to cry on*
*Goran tells Marat that he is certain that he won't be going this week; "everyone loves a joker. without me this house would be as boring as shit" In the afternoon, Goran is called into the diary room, to give his account of his nomination week. He tells Big Brother that the time has been awesome and he would love to spend another week and get into more fun with these people. He says that being nominated was a shock at first, but he has not been bothered by it as they week has gone on*
*Late in the evening , all the housemates are called to assemble in one bedroom, and to stay there until asked to leave.*
*When they emerge from the bedroom an hour later, big brother has laid out a fine feast for them all - and whats more enough beer to last a life time. Alcohol had not been allowed in the house since the first night. Andy quips "this is gonna be a wild night"*
*The housemates play a game of truth or dare. Tim isn't keen on playing and Marat said " I will ask the first truth question to Tim - Do you have to practice being a boring old **** or does it come naturally?"
It isn't long before the drink starts to loosen tongues and the real questions come to the fore- Serena to Jennifer: 'What really happened between her and BJK over the Fed. Cup incident.' Monica smiles inwardly, while Jennifer just glares. Jennifer refuses to answer and Goran suggests that she eat a whole sour lemon as a punishment. Marat quips ' Yes to match your sour face'. The whole house erupts into alcohol induced laughter, all of course except Jennifer.
Goran to Venus: ' Does your dad really tell you and your sister in advance who should win which grand slam finals'. Venus answered 'No' Goran says 'That's good, otherwise I would have to stop placing bets on your matches!!.'. Marat promptly turned to Goran and gave him $1.00 - they had a bet on whether the matches were fixed!.
Tim to Marat 'Have you ever had anger management therapy'. Marat replied ' What is this **** therapy?. Only in the west can you have such ***** nonsense. I do not have a **** temper problem. Do you have ***** tightass therapy?. '.
Marat to Andy: 'Have you ever tongued a guy? ' Andy replies 'Yer man. For a dare actually. And before you guys say anything, i am perfectly comfortable with my sexuality!"
Andy, having heard the girls chatter earlier in the day decides to ask to lleyton; "So, I've heard you hung like a horse is it true?" Lleyton smiles knowingly; "All will be revealed mate, all will be revealed"
The alcohol has made kim much more vocal "hey girls, keep you hands off.. his mine" She leans across and snogs him for all the other HM's to see*
Lleyton to Martina "So who exactly do you want to heat it up with in the house?" martina is witty as always "geez there are so many guys to choose from in this house. Why not them all "
Martina to Juan Carlos "Where is the strangest place you've ever had sex?" With Juan Carlos not wanting to answer, Marat chimes in "hell i've done it just about everywhere, i'm not afraid to say it" Marat decides that he has to snog Martina for his dare. Under the influence, Juan is a little more adventurous than usual and they engage in a long kiss, tongue and all*
*Staggering into bed, the housemates collapse. LLeyton and Kim are together as usual. Marat is with Jennifer. After their brief encounter, Martina and Juan Carlos have retired to seperate beds. So everything is normal...hey wait a minute what is Venus doing in bed with Goran?"*
EVICTION LOOMS ON DAY 9.....
DAY 9
*After last night's party, the house is eerily quiet. Maybe it is the sombreness of the looming eviction...or maybe its just the hang over*
*There is no mention of Goran and Venus' snuggle last night, they continue on as usual*
*The three nominees pack their suitcases in preparation for the eviction*
*While doing so Venus tells her sister that she didn't think she was ready to go. "I'm not use to leaving a competition this early". They share their first really sisterly moment in the house, when they hug and Serena comforts her; "I don't want you to go either...its gonna be lonely without you"*
*Goran tells Marat that it wouldn't bother him is he was evicted. He says that there is a lot of fun waiting for him out there, but if he stays another week, which he is pretty sure he will, then he is gonna make sure that there are more fireworks in the house*
*Tim is desperate to stay: "I don't wanna go, this house hasn't seen the real me yet"*
*The housemates gather in the lounge and wait for the announcement*
DAY 10
*Tim is gone, and quite frankly, no one misses him. The housemates express their anxiety mixed with relief at these few hours before nomination when no one has eviction hanging over their heads*
*Today is a day of emotional let down after yesterday's tension. Venus tells Serena that she is very happy to still be here, and now feels she has a second lease on life, and will be much more vocal in the house*
*Goran discovers Tim left behind a pair of his jocks and all the male housemates have a good laugh about Tim's Y-Fronts. They then fall into a discussion about what sort of underwear is their preference. Marat says he likes the support of boxer briefs, and Goran and Juan wear both boxers and jocks. It is no surprise when Andy says "i wear nuthin dudes, except when I am on the court, i gotta have easy access". Marat admits sometimes he goes "commando" as well, when he is feeling horny. Lleyton says he likes the freedom of boxers, he finds jocks too constricting. He thinks wearing nothing is unhygenic "Andy, mate, you are grotty". Andy retorts, "Just cos you got a ten pound cock, you think ur king". Are we sensing a bit of angst here?*
*Jennifer says that if she gets nominated she will probably be evicted; telling Martina that audiences don't like women who speak their mind and are aggressive; "but hey thats who i am, i'm not gonna change for the sake of a game. so I fly off the handle when i don't like something, we all have to vent sometime"*
*All the housemates are in nervous intrepedation about the next round of nominations*
DAY 11
*A big week of nominations with three prominent house figures nominated; Andy, lleyton and Serena*
*Upon hearing the news, Andy's vows to the housemates...."if am getting evicted this week...then you guys are gonna go for a roller coaster ride with me. You all better watch out cos everyone's gonna know andy's in the house"
*LLeyton seems to be coping okay. He tells Kim that even if he leaves this week, then all this has been worth it, because he had met her. Kim is desolate; "If I could change it so I could be nominated instead of you I would do it. This is gonna be such a hard week."*
*Serena is more philosophical, telling the housemates it had to happen sooner or later. She turns to Venus and says "now it is my turn".*
*Andy is clearly after some action; earlier in the day he had told the Marat and Lleyton, that he would shag just about any woman in the world at the moment. In the afternoon he and Serena engage in some good old fashion flirting in the pool. While Venus and Juan Carlos are engaged in an intense race up and down the pool, Andy and Serena frollick; Andy telling Serena that he might not be a great swimmer, but he's an animal in bed. Serena seems to want to find out as she rubs her hand up and down his inner thigh, dangerously approaching his crotch. Andy urges her on but she replies; "not today boy" and she gets out of the pool. Andy is left a little crestfallen by their brief accounter, but is nevertheless turned on. As Venus and Juan leave the pool, Juan makes the observation when looking through the water at Andy's lower half: 'hey you look happy". Juan and Venus laugh*
*The relationship between Jennifer and Marat seems to have reached the crossroads. Facing eachother on the sofa, she tells him; "where are we in this relationship". Marat shruggs his shoulders and Jennifer stares at him for a longoment before abruptly leaving the couch*
*The practical joke war seems to have subsided....atleast for now*
*Later that night there is some mysterious "doona dancing" within kim and lleyton's bed. Are they comforting eachother?*

Tennis Big Brother Written by Jenn & Mags
Days 12 - 20
DAY 12
*For the first time in days, Jennifer and Marat have not slept in the same bed together.*
*Martina, for possibly the first time in her life, seems to be an outsider. Although she and Jenn have formed a close bond she has been out of the limelight in the relationships equation and through being associated with Jennifer has been somewhat polarised by Serena and Venus, and to a lesser extent Monica. Add this to her dead-end attractions to Juan Carlos and Marat, and it is little wonder that she is frustrated. She is disillusioned with whole "big brother" experience telling Jennifer while sunabking; "you know if someone offered me the oppurtunity to be evicted now, then I would take it - this is nothing like I expected it be" She then cries weeps into into Jenn's arms*
*In the late afternoon, BB gives the housemates a challenge - the first 5 to shoot a basketball in the ring get to use a jacuzzi and sauna that had been out of bounds up to now. Marat, Serena, Venus, Lleyton, and Juan Carlos get the luxury. The remaining 5 get nothing and retire to the sofa*
*Lleyton decides to decline the luxury to be with Kim and instead the pair slide into the pool for an evening dip and play footsie under the water. Jennifer suggests to Marat that he too forgo the luxury to be with her and discuss their relationship. But Marat says: 'It would be criminal to waste such an opportunity you should realise that this is best for me.....' When going to find his board shorts, Marat discovers they are not there. Serena discovers her Bikini top is gone as well - attack of the practical joker, Goran had taken them both, and was now laughing quitely in the kitchen. But the two were not to be perturbed "we'll skinny dip" they say in unsion*
*Jennifer, of course is not at all happy about this. Neither is Andy, feeling a prime oppurtunity has been missed*
As the lucky 4 head off with bottles of wine and champagne Marat says to Serena ' Don't let me drown in the jacuzzi'. Knowing Jennifer is watching , Serena replies 'Don't worry if you get into difficulties I can give you mouth to mouth' . Marat grins and says 'I always seem to get myself into trouble in a jacuzzi !'.
After several hours of pampering in the jacuzzi and sauna Juan Carlos and Venus slip into bed, along with 5 other housmates. Jennifer however is still waiting for Marat to return. Earlier, Andy had gone to bed in jealousy, telling the house "I've had enough of this shit". Into the early hours of the morning neither Marat nor Serena have emerged from the sauna after several hours.....
DAY 13
*it is 2 AM before Serena and Marat return with their towels draped around them, looking hot and bothered. Jenn is confrontational as always, "what the **** do you guys think you were doing?". Marat and Serena explain that they had decided to saty on later so as to maximise what could be there only oppurtunity in the sauna. Jenn doesn't buy the story and throws a tantrum, before storming to bed. As it turned out, Serena and Marat were telling the truth. After Venus and Juan carlos had left, she had convinced Marat to stay a little longer so that she could have company while "cleansing her pores" Of course, without the benefit of being there, Jennifer felt justified in her jealous rage*
*Early in the daylight hours, Venus and Serena have a discussion about last night. Serena tells Venus; "You should have seen her (jenn's) face...it was hilarious"*
*Jennifer, meanwhile has taken to having a heart to heart with Martina. Both girls are not at all happy with the situation they are in, and they dwell in eachothers misery. Jennifer tells Martina that she is too strong to let Marat, or that b**** ruin her experience in the house. "I'm just gonna ignore them from now on...no more tantrums....I can do this"*
*Later on, Monica is told to collect a tub of plaster from the diary room, and other materials to make moulds. All the housemates are to create masks of their face and paint them as lasting memories of the house*
*This seems like a simple task, but it gets raunchy when the housemates want to create moulds of other body parts *
*Andy helps Serena make a mould of her chest , he of course is delighted*
*It is decided that Juan Carlos has the best arse, so he dons one of Jennifer's G-Strings and Martina pours plaster over his bare bum to make a mould. She finds this hilarious "I can't believe I'm doing this" she laughs. "Hey you can't feel any more riduclous than me" They both giggle uncontollably*
*Marat suggests that lleyton make a mould of his manhood, to which Lleyton replies; "I like to keep my privates private mate"
*Upon seeing Jennifer's mould of her face with a broad grin on it, Goran quips; "this is not right..." he takes his brush and draws an upside down smile in place of her mouth "Now that is much more accurate" he laughs*
*Jennifer retaliiates jovially by placing a splotch of paint on gorans mould. He dips his hands in the paint tray and runs the cool paint down her bikini clad back. She jumps, startled at the cool texture, bumping the tray. Its yellow contents drip onto serena's back while she is helping andy in painting the mould of her chest. Serena looks up at the two and decides to join in....splashing Jennifer...but also marking Martina in the process. Soon an all out paint war has erupted...in which all the housmeates become saturated with all the colours of the rainbow. Goran quips; "This is what I call art!!!". Looking too ridiculous to be angry, the housemates erupt into raucous laughter. Atleast momentarily, the air of tension seems to have left the house*
*Serena is called into the diary room to give her video diary. She says while laughing; "as you can see, I'm having a ball!!!"
DAY 14
*After yesterday's frivolities, the tempo of the house seems to have gone up a notch. Early in the morning Monica takes the initiative by getting all the housemates to partcipate in an exercise program; runs around the garden, push-ups, sit-ups and laps of the pool, . "We can't just sit around all day she insists....We have gotta keep fit". Monica is at her most diplomatic, but is nevertheless a strong leader, as she teaches the housemates the exercises. Monica tells the house "I'm gonna take this chance to get as fit as I can, when I get back to the court I'm gonna be leaner and meaner than before!"*
*During the exercise session, it is Goran, Marat, Serena and Kim who drop out first....the four take residence on the couch, and then decide to inspire the others; "Not fast enough" Goran yells "You gotta move that body!". They find the intensity of Andy, Monica, Jennifer, Martina, Venus, Juan Carlos and Lleyton extremely amusing; "look at their faces....they look like there being tortured" remarks Serena. Kim can't stop giggling*
*The "exercise-junkies" as marat has called them, have ended their session outside. Serena rushes out to join them. After all the exercise, Andy decides its time for a swim, to cool down. In his most provacative stunt yet.....he pulls of all his clothes until he is left stark naked. "Now thats a specimen...remarks serena to Monica and Venus after viewing andy's well built fame in all its glory. "Hot bod," Moncia agrees. The three girls watch, mesmorised at his shear sexuality. "That guy is something else" Serena says.*
*Meanwhile Kim and Lleyton retire to the bedroom. They discuss the eviction that is getting ever closer. "I'm happy babe...this is gonna be easy. I'll be preared to go, and even if I do, it won't be the end of our relationship. We can continue on the outside". He kisses her on the cheek, and they embrace*
*Later in the day, Andy is called into the diary room. "I've never been happier big brother, I'm so comfortable within myself, so much happier than last week. I have found my place in this house; to be the provactive one, the aggressor, the one who makes everyone stare in horror and delight. This is the Andy Show, let it rock on into next week"*
DAY 15
*It seems that none of the nominees think they are going. Andy saying; "i've swam naked, I've been out there, I've been looking for a relationship....the public will have warmed to me. I'm safe for this week." Serena is equally as brash, telling Monica and Kim; "they didn't evict her (venus), last week, even though she was against that dork brain (tim), I think they wanna keep the sister act in the house". Kim is still worried about LLeyton, despite all his optimism "The way he acts, its very, well, provacative...some people don't like that in a guy".*
*Just after surnrise, Monica, Martina, Jennifer, Lleyton, and Juan Carlos woke up to participate in their daily exercise session. Martina hugs Monica, thanking her for organising this activity, "this could be my saviour in the house" she says. Jennifer finds the focus of exercise beneficial as well...it has stopped her from becoming preoccupied with Serena and Marat. However at the back of her mind, she is still very much consumed by it, having agonised over the outcome of this weeks eviction, telling Martina in private; "I desperately want her (serena) gone this week, I'm never gonna be close to Marat with her in the house. The longer she's in the house, the greater the division between us (her and Marat). If she doesn't go, then I don't want Andy to go either - he might be the only one who can get her to take her eyes off of Marat".
*The housemates add the finishing touches to their plaster moulds, this weeks task, and they hang them on a prominent wall in the BB house. Andy grabs the Mould of serena's chest, and parades around with it, asking Serena, "how can you see your toes with these things?". "Easily", serena replies, pecking Andy on the cheek and snatching the mould away from him.*
*Jennifer has decided to make Marat and Serena jealous. During dinner she drops her fork on the floor purposely, asking andy, who is sitting next to her, to pick it up for her. They both bend under the table and when Andy picks it up, Jenn whispers to him "thank-you" and gives him a kiss on the cheek. When they emerge from under the table, andy has a big mark of lipstick on his cheek. All of the housemates notice, none comment. Serena pouts, knowing she'd lost the advantage in her mind games with Jenn. Marat looks bewildered*
*Later in the night Marat tells Goran that the girls in the house are driving him crazy; "These women," he says "don't make any sense. One minute they are all over you. The next they are kissing someone else. They're all just too much trouble"*
*On eviction eve, Lleyton is called into the Big Brother Diary Room; "I don't fear eviction, I don't fear anything. This has been a great experience, and if I was only concerned with myself, then I would be happy to leave now. The hardest thing about leaving, will be seeing her (kim's) face, if I leave. She needs me in this house, she's not ready to be by herself in here yet!"*
DAY 16
*In the early morning hours, Serena jumps into Andy's bed, unable to act calculated and flitatious any longer. She whispers any his ear, "I want you". He turns around and they have a long pash. "you're a great kisser" she says. "I've been told that before" Andy says. They continue to play and kiss. A few moments later Serena calls out "Hey aren't you a happy boy." They both giggle and continue to kiss. When they have quietened down, Serena says; "What are we gonna do if one of us leaves tommorrow?". Andy says, "don't think about it, I'm not leaving and either are you"*
*Later in the day is spent preparing for the imminent eviciton. andy packs his bag, with Serena by his side. "I dunno why I'm doing this, I'm not leaving anyways". Serena is more nervous and for the first time in the house, a little rattled. "I never thought I'd feel so messed up in here, this house does funny things to you"*
*Jennifer sees the amount of time Serena and Andy are spending together and is secretly delighted*
*Kim and Lleyton meanwhile, have moved into a mode of acceptance. "No matter if I leave or if I don't. We will be together again. I'm not dying, I'm just levaing you for a while. Its nothing. We will get over it" Lleyton says. They hug*
*Later in the day, all three nominees for eviction are called into the diary room. They are to make video wills. A final message that will be delivered to the house if they are evicted.*
*Once again, tension is high and eviction is close. Who will go???*
DAY 17
*Andy is gone and the house misses his enthusiasm and energy*
*The housemates all watch his video will on the projector screen. He says how hard it was the first week, and how the second week "rocked". He tells Marat to "follow his heart with the chicks", for LLeyton and Kim, "To keep your beautiful friendship together, its so real in a surreal experience" and for Goran; "to keep rockin on man". He tells Juan Carlos to make sure "You come out of your shell, forget your inhibitions". He tells Jennifer and Martina to "stop taking the experience so seriously, and to have fun" and apoligizes to Monica for "not getting to know her enough". He tells Venus that "she was so stable". Lastly he tells Serena what a beautiful person she is and that he hopes she has the greatest time in the house "love ya Serena"*
*The housemates are all touched by these last pensive words from one of the loudest housemates*
*Kim tells the house how relieved she is that LLeyton is still here. While Serena expresses her loss in Andy's departure; "we were really starting something" she says.*
*In private, Jennifer is scathing at Andy's departure, feeling that now Serena will set her eyes back onto Marat. Martina reassures her "I think Serena's pretty cut up about Andy...I think she really liked him."*
*The remaining four male housemates, head outside to play basketball and to clear their heads. They discuss how they suddenly feel outnumbered, "Hey that could be a good thing, right?" Goran Says. They all laugh. Juan Carlos says that the idea of a relationship in the house is starting to grow on him, while after seeing Andy depart, Marat is even more convinced that having a relationship in the house is not the best thing to do; "You saw today, Andy is gone - now Serena has lost him. Its just too risky and painful in here to start anything meaningful." Lleyton shares his concerns, but says "Kim has just totally swept me off my feet, I can't help but be with her"*
*In the afternoon the third round of nominations will be announced...who will be put through the torture this week?*
DAY 18
*As this is their second nomination Venus and Goran take the news well, knowing the full ramifications. Venus jokes to Serena "Maybe, we are gonna get one week of nomination each". Goran is quietly devising a plan to shake up the house again*
*Jennifer is not as comfortable with the announcement, erupting into tantrum; "I don't see what I have done to be nominated. I speak my mind, and don't sit on the fence when thing displease me, SO WHAT??? This is total bullshit. Maybe everyone would just prefer if I sat in the same place all day with my thumb up my butt!. Well it ain't happening." She storms from the living room, to the bedroom and slams the door behind her*
*Martina follows her into the bedroom, gently probing her for information. Jenn outbursts; "You know, its just too much. Andy's gone. She's (serena) still here. i can't stop thinking about Marat. And now this (nomination). You know I see so many people in the house that are you know just keeping their mouths shut when they don't like something, playing the game, staying below the radar. Well I can't do that, this is who I am, I'm not gonna act. I'll probably be gone this week, they (audience) don't like tantrums, but I swear some of them (housemates) could win an oscar for their performances. If they are gonna evict me, then so be it." Jenn doesn't emerge from the bedroom all day*
*This week the housemates are set the task of painting a mural along one of the walls surrounding the compound. The mural must have at least one figure that represents the character of each of the remaining housemates. The housemates spend much of the afternoon brainstorming for ideas*
*In the evening Kim and LLeyton take the last block of chocalate, without consulting the other housemates and feed it to eachother. When they have reached the last piece they take one end in their mouth each and then pash once they have finished.*
*Seeing this Scene, Juan Carlos, Venus and Martina, who are outside lapping up the final hours of daylight, are transfixed. "Look what perverts we are" Venus laughs in self-depication. Juan Carlos and Martina agree. Martina says; "Who would wanna do that anyway?" She looks up at Juan Carlos who returns her long glance "Exactly, too mushy for me" he replies. Venus, after a moment of silence interjects; "Come on guys, lets leave them too it". Juan Carlos and Martina look away from eachother, abrubtly.*
*Serena and Jenn meanwhile seem to have bonded over their collective misery. Earlier Serena had retired to the bedroom, thinking of Andy and the possiblilty of losing Venus this week. Now they are talking about past loves. Atleast momentarily they seem to understand and empathise with eachother*
*Before bed, Monica and Marat decide to cheer Serena and Jennifer up with chocalate. Marat says; "There is no room for sadness around here, we gotta keep everyone happy, or we won't last 3 months". When Monica, who has become the mother hen of the household goes to the cupboard to find the chocalate missing, she is displeased. Kim and Lleyton own up to taking it. For the first time she makes her emotions known to the house; "Living in this house is all about intercommunion, and co-operation. We have a limited amount of food in here, and all housemates must be consulted before it is eaten. That wasn't your chocalate to eat. It was OURS (the whole groups). Learn to be more considerate, or life in here will be hell". She is backed up in her tirade by all the other housemates in the room. LLeyton and Kim retire to bed with their tails between their legs. Goran pats Monica on the back affectionately: "I proclaim thee, the food nazi!!!"*
DAY 19
*After the confrontational nature of yesterday, the house descends into sombreness today.*
*Lleyton is still brewing over Monica's outburst, he and Kim are becoming more and more isolated from the rest of the group*
*Marat decides it is time to clear the air with Jennifer. He genuinely likes her but is confused; "I can't have a relationship in here, it can only end in a broken heart. Definitely I want to spend more time with you, becuase you are a great girl. But please, no romance, I can't handles it" They hug, Jennfier agrees on the firendship, but deep down she still has romantic intentions*
*Monica continues to drive the house to exercise more and more. Today only her and Martina are in the mood for exercising, for the first time things are looking up for Marti. She tells Monica that she is starting to feel much more a part of the wider group, and when seeing everyone elses problems feels like she can relate to them much better. Monica agrees that everyone is settling in and finding their true friends in the house*
*Goran meanwhile has taken it upon himself to think of his contribution to the mural. He paints the background; the backyard of the house; with the flag poll with Marat's jocks flying high. He then paints himself in a jokers costume*
*In the evening, the house decends into an inevitable conversation about masturbation in the house. Marat is the instigator, and says that he loves it when girls do it for him. All four guys admit that they have had a "whack" as they refer to it in the house. Goran demonstrates; "the triangle of silence", a formation that makes sure cameras don't pick up the activity. All for guys laugh. Serena asks what happens when they "cum", and how do they hide their facial expressions. Juan Carlos does a demonstration of how his facial expression changes at climax. This time it is the girls turn to laugh. Martina comments, "As if the cameras wouldn't notice that (the facial expression)" Venus says that she doesn't believe in masturbation; "that should be shared with someone you love". Not surprisingly none of the girls own up to having pleasured themselves*
DAY 20
*The hottest day yet in the house, temperature wise that is, and the house feels the heat*
*For the first time since Andy's evcition, Serena seems once again to be coming out of her shell, telling the house; "I'm wiping the slate clean, no more tears, its time to move on!" She joins her sister, Juan Carlos and Martina in an early morning swim, as the temperature is set to scorch today. Juan Carlos and Martina leave early to go for a shower before the other housemates wake up.*
*As a sign of his growing self-confidence, Juan Carlos showers for the first time without his bathers. He and Martina hardly seem perturbed by their nakedness, as they shower as usual*
*Jenn, is still fragile, and her temper flares during an early morning conversation about nominations. Other housemates, particularly Marat who tries to comfort her in the manner of a true friend, try and convince her that this is no big deal, and that leaving the house is not the end of the world. Kim adds that the pressure of the house and communal living is becoming way too much, and she would be happy to leave now. This riles Jenn, "You know, thats easy for you to say. I'm sick of hearing people say, I don't wanna be here, its no big deal. If you feel that way, then the door is there. Leave!!! I'm here to be in the house, and I wanna stay!"*
*With only three days to go until the mural is due to be completed, the housemates are gripped by the heatwave and a prevailing laziness. Failing this weeks task would mean food rations for next week, adding further tension to an already knife-edge environment. As is becoming increasingly the case, it is Monica who attempts to inspire the housemates to achieve their goals. Her and Venus are the only ones who are willing to brave the heat, leave the air conditioned house and head into the backyard to paint the mural. Beside Goran's image of himself, Venus paints her head with a panthers body; "I'm a lean, mean, slick machine!" she jokingly tells Monica. Monica's imagination is less active, she paints a very accurate self-portrait. She then devulges to Venus that the lasse-faire attitude of some of the other housemates is unnerving; "I understand people want to have a good time, but honestly this laziness and inconsideration is too much"*
*Late at night, romance is again in the air, when Martina tells Jennifer that she feels that the time is right to make a move on Juan Carlos. Jenn of course is little help in her current state, it seems like only yesterday that it was she and Marat who were the houses hottest couple. Martina goes to bed contemplating her next move; should she risk her growing friendship to pursue something more?*

Tennis Big Brother Written by Jenn & Mags
Days 21 - 30
DAY 21
*The temperature is again scorching today. To compound the housemates predicament the air conditioning had broken down over night, resulting in a sleepless night for many housemates. By early morning, Big Brother had the air conditioning fixed, but the lack of sleep had excacerbated the crankiness of the housemates*
*Before sunrise Martina wakes Juan Carlos. She tells him "Come on. Lets get out there and put our mark on the mural, let's beat the heat!" Juan Carlos agrees as he is keen to get out of the stifling bedroom, and also is slowly becoming closer to Martina. When he gets out of bed, in only his boxers, Martina is stunned by the definition of his body and how it glowed with the perspiration. She grabs him by the arm, before he gets the chance to put any other clothes on, "We don't wanna wake the others!" she grins.*
*Once outside, they set about, their project. Juan Carlos paints himself with the Roland Garros trophy, "you know I'm gonna win it one day" he says. Martina quips, "Maybe we can both win it for the first time next year". They both giggle. Martina paints herself half angel, half demon; "I'm nice, but I can be naughty too," she flirts. She reaches over to Juan Carlos "You have a little paint on your eyebrow". He follows her hand with mesmorisation. Their faces are centimetres from eachother, before they pull away. "Let's go inside, the others will be up" says Martina, breaking the ice*
*They join Monica, Kim, Jennifer and Venus on the sofa. Jennifer is still cranky, nervous about the looming eviciton. Venus is too, but as ever she is poker faced about her emotions. Kim is lamenting the lack of privacy, and feels it his hindering her intimacy with Lleyton; "I wish I could just forget about the cameras, and act true to myself". Venus adds, "Maybe you just need a cool glass of heineken...loosen you up a bit!" Maybe due to her lack of sleep and her general frustration with the other housemates, this joke pinches a nerve in the reserved Monica, "There is no substitute for dealing with your emotions head on. I know, from back in my dark days (post stabbing), I resorted to food because I couldn't deal with the world I was living in. It only made everything harder. There is no magic tonic that erases problems. You have to go through a process." Venus is very apologetic, Monica understands, saying "Its okay, I just needed to get that off my chest"*
*Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Goran, with Marat egging him on, has cut the elastic in lleyton's boxers while he was sleeping. They leave the room, joining the others on the couch. Half asleep, at midday, Lleyton stumbles out of bed, into the living room. His boxers fall to the floor, revealing himself in all his glory. "Shit man! what happened?", he shouts. "Looks like you got a bit of a morning glory happening," Goran Laughs. "Don't worry you got nothin to worry about, looking good," Venus laughs. Marat is in awe "Now I know why the call you donkey boy.". Having been revealed Lleyton takes the oppurtunity to show it off, prancing around the room "I'm the man" Lleyton yells as he perfroms his trademark on court performance stark naked, "I'm the Sex Machine!!!!" Kim blushes. All the housemates laugh*
*Serena comes out of bed last, after Lleyton, Kim, Venus, and Juan Carlos have gone for a shower, "what was with all the laughing?" "Another one of Goran's pranks" , Jenn replies, it having brought a smile even to her face .
Jenn is called into the diary room, to give big brother her take on her nomination week. "It's unlike, you know. anything I've ever experienced. I'm so messed up, I don't know what to do, I'm floundering in here. It's like, ummm, you know, really unnerving the way things have gone. The first couple of weeks, I thought I had everyone sorted, now I'm not so sure. I dunno where I belong in here. All I know is, I don't want to leave this week, if, you know, that happened, I would be left with a lot of unfullfilled business. And, you know, I hate unfulfilled business - I have to find myself again!"*
*Monica is again unable to motivate the other housemates to make any significant progress on the mural. The task is due in less than 24 hours time, only 5 of the 10 housemates are represented...the housemates indeed need a miracle....will they starve next week?*
DAY 22
*With the temperature cooling, pressure mounts as the task is due at 6 PM this evening. Tension flares in the house*
*It is Marat and jennifer who are most obstinate. Marat sees the task as utterly childish, and Jennifer says that she will not be blackmailed by Big Brother's threats to with hold food supplies*
* Kim and Lleyton draw a picture of lovebirds with a self-portrait of their faces on. Goran then takes a paintbrush and draws a bucket under the lovebirds. Juan asks "What the hell is that?". Goran replies "It is a sick bucket!". Goran, Marat and Juan Carlos erupt into raucous laughter*
*Under Monica and Venus' urging, Serena finally makes her contribution to the mural. A portrait of herself with a #1 T-Shirt on. "How could I be anything else!"*
*That leaves just Marat and Jennifer with their contribution still to make. Venus decides to convince Jennifer to play her part, while also reminding the audience of Jenn's unappealing side, which may save herself from eviction. Her father did not teach her to be a loser and she has nointention of going without a fight. Spotting her opportunity Venus walks up to Jennifer and suggests that she do her mural before the deadline. Venus tells Jennifer that "It wouldn't look good if the outside world saw that you weren't a team player - particularly after what other team members were saying about the Fed. Cup incident.......". Venus says no more. Jennifer's face goes bright scarlet and she starts to prod Venus "Who has been talkingabout me?". Venus plays it down saying "I don't want to cause friction or anything, but all I can say is that if you don't do the mural, people may believe the BJK version of events. I mean everyone in the house has an opinion on it..." Venus then walks away from Jennifer leaving the insinuation of the group bitching about her hanging in the air*
*Meanwhile the other housemates have set about convincing Marat of his duty. Goran is teasing Marat about his reluctance to do a mural "Is it because you can't paint to save you life - if so don't worry just draw a stick man". Serena joins Goran by suggesting Marat draw a stick of dynamite with his face on it to represent his explosive personality!. This causes everyone to burst into fits of laughter - including Marat. Marat retorts to Serena "You are really funny - if your dad wasn't crazy I might ask you out!". Serena hits back by saying "You should know about crazy - maybe you should draw a straight jacket with your name on instead!" Martina chimes in, quipping "Perhaps you should draw a padded cell!". Everyone is now institches. Marat can take the teasing no more and dips the paintbrush in the can and draws a rising star and proudly says -"There - now you all can admire my rise to the top!".*
*Jennifer's behaviour over the last week has polarised all other members of the household and now even her friends Martina and Marat, seem to be deserting her. Monica in particular is seething; "she just isn't a team player". She joins the others in the garden, her surly expression not inviting any communication. She is contemplating whether to confront the house, and clear the air. Venus and Serena walk into the garden and disturbs Jennifer's thoughts. The sisters stand there at a loss for a seat. Jennifer can hold her tongue no more and snaps 'If there were TWO real gentleman in this house, they would get up and let Venus and Serena sit down'. Everyone is stunned by the outburst, but Marat is pissed by the slagging off and replies "If you were a real lady you would get up and let BOTH of them sit down". Goran is the first to burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter and the others soon follow, including the Williams sisters. The only one not laughing is Jennifer who promptly gets up and says "If you think I am going to paint any stupid mural then you can go swivel on it - I won't be painting anything" She hurries to the bedroom, slamming the door behind her*
*Mon makes a comment about Jenn's selfishness, then heads to the diary room to ask what sort of rations they will be given if they fail the task.*
*Later Venus and Goran are asked seperately to go to the diary room to give their take on nomination. They both give similar comments about their growing love for people in the house, and the difficulties faced this week with the heat*
*The housemates are now resigned to failing this weeks task. many feel slightly responsible for antagonising the already volatile Jennifer, particularly Venus. As they clean up the paint, Martina decides to head to the bedroom, to have one last crack at getting Jennifer to paint the mural, and to comfort her a little, afterall they were still friends. She is interrupted on her way, however by Juan Carlos who calls her into the kitchen. They embrace, unable to control their feelings anymore, kissing passionately. No one sees them*
*After a sombre dinner, all the housemates are called to assemble in the living room. They hear the announcement. "This is Big Brother. Congratulations housemates you have FAILED this weeks task. Your failure to complete this task means food rations starting Sunday. The details of these rations will be given after the eviction. Good night house"*
*Who will be the third evictee?*
DAY 23
*The stage is set for the most dramatic eviction yet, with the housemates finally developing chemistry, and bonds being truly formed. Unsurprisingly many of the housemates are resenting Jennifer's stubborness in relation to the mural, and would prefer her evicted. Monica says, "You know she is a really good person at heart, but in a team activity, she is just impossible. She has to go this week; its better for her and us!"*
*One who doesn't want Jenn evicted is Martina. She may have been preoccupied in recent days but she still regards Jennifer as her best friend in the house. She tells her that much in the bedroom, in the early morning when Jenn is packing her suitcase; "In the first two weeks you helped me through some very difficult moments. Now, you need me, and I will be here for you" Jenn appreciates her compassion, thanking her and giving her a hug, "I'll probably be gone tonite anyway, I've really blown this!" Sensitively, Martina omits the developments in her relationship with Juan Carlos from their conversation.*
*Venus and particularly Goran, believe they have done enough to survive their second nomination, indicating that Jenn's behaviour has all but assured her eviction. Nevertheless, they are made to pack their bags. Serena is less assured, Venus is her sister, and Goran has been her long time firend in the house, and she doens't know how she will deal with another loss, after Andy's evcition last week. "I can't lose either of you," she hugs them both as they pack their suitcases.*
*As is the norm, all three nominees are asked to make video wills*
*In the afternoon Martina and Juan Carlos meet in thesecluded herb garden to discuss their relationship. Little comes of their conversation, they kiss and hug, and decide to keep their relationship underwraps for now.*
*Goran and Marat go to shoot some hoops before the eviction and fall into a converstaion about rations. Marat reckons the next weeks going to be hell and if they think his eating "rabbit food" then the house better be ready for some fireworks. Goran quips "Some of the women in here could certainly do with living on basic rations for a while", causing Marat to smirk and nod his head in agreement.*
*The housemates are asked to gather in the living room, for the announcement*
DAY 24
*With Venus gone, Serena has descended into another bout of mourning. She is beginning to think she is a jinx, it appears that all those she is close to are swept from the house, she opens up to goran. Goran jokes; "Maybe I should stay away from you". Then in his most sombre moment yet in the house, he hugs Serena, and tells her that everything will be okay*
*Jenn is stunned, she was sure that her tantrums would have seen her evcited. Given one more chance, she is now resolved to contribute fully to the house, to keep her myriad of moods and emotions in check, and to commit herself to the house and tasks unwaveringly. She tells Martina; "They (the audience) have given me the chance to reform. Last week was tough. But this week is a fresh start, I have the chance to make up for it"*
*Of course, today is also the first day of rations, early in the morning the housemates are informed of this weeks provisions: - All the lentils they can eat - Flour and yeast as they must make their own bread - All the pasta they can eat - 1 apple and orange each per day - Salad growing in the garden - lettice, potatoe, cabbage, etc. - Eggs from the chickens - Oxo cubes - 0.5 pint of milk each per day - Ration of butter - Washing bars as they will have to do their own laundry by hand - No hot water in the bathroom for showers/baths etc.
*Marat curses out allowed - "Who do they think is going to live on that shit for a week and as for washing - besides I as I told a reporter I don't do domestic!"*
* The rations are delivered and while some unpack the shopping, the others sit and discuss their bad luck*
*Lleyton, most adaptable due to several camping expeditions into the australian Outback during his younger days, feels this is his chance to stamp his authority on the house. He suggests a rotation, with housmates taking it inturns, sharing the workload. This is at first dismissed by the housemates; Monica griping "This is all Jennifer's fault, she should take the great majority of work. That is fair!"*
*Lleyton and Kim volunteer to do the cooking for tonight. This atleast temporarily alleviates the problem*
*As the housemates gather once again for another round of nominations, they are still at a quandary over how they will survive this week in the house*
DAY 25
*With 4 out of the 9 remaining housemates nominated, combined with the pressure of rations, it is set to be another anxious and tension filled week.*
*Kim up for eviction for the first time, joins Lleyton as a potential evictee. At once, she is both relieved and nervous. More and more lately she feels that she has over-extended her time in the house and she wants to go home to her family and live a normal life, this gives her an oppurtunity to do that. Of course, if Lleyton was evicted she would be left in the house with no one and this thought makes her uneasy.*
*Monica and Juan Carlos, who both did not expect to be nominated are suddenly thrown into the crazy gauntlet that is nomination. As he has done with all other revelations in the house, Juan Carlos stays calm, accepting his nomination without incident. Monica, having been dealt much harsher blows than this throughout her lifetime, is as ever unphased.*
*This weeks primitive lifestyle continues to present a problem for the housemates, with all waking up hungry after yesterdays frist day of rations. Lleyton assures the other housemates they will be amazed at what kind of meals can be created with lentils and some oxo cubes. Marat is irritated by Lleyton's being so upbeat and says "Yes with lentils and an oxo cube you can create a meal of .....oxo flavoured lentils!"*
*Jennifer feels that things are finally looking up for her, in two days she had avoided both eviction and nomination. Jennifer explains to Martina and Juan Carlos while doing the first round of washing, that she has always been superstitious, and believes deeply in omens and karma. Martina and Juan Carlos agree that some people are naturally lucky, especially in love. Jennifer is looking towards this week with a clear head and new perception, during their conversation she makes the observation; "You know, i've been feeling, like there is something going on with you guys". Juan Carlos and Martina reveal their relationship to her, she seems to receive the news well and gives them both a hug. They decide to keep it secret from the other housemates*
*Serena is still saddened by Venus' premature departure, with Goran and Marat she discusses how precariuous everyone's place is in the house, and how she will have to go it alone without big sis, "This is probably the first really big experience that I will go through without Venus. When I started on tour, she was there to guide me - now it is just me. But this could also be a great experience. I think I can grow as a person, and in independence. This is my chance not to be known just as one of the Williams sisters, but as a seperate entity, SERENA". Marat chimes; "You go girl" and fakes getting all teary and emotional. Goran laughs. Serena chuckles; "Your my boys". And she gives them both a hug. Later the three falll into discussing the fact their is no meat on the list of provisions. Marat looks over at the chickens and grins as he says to Goran "I think I have an idea of what we can do with those oxo cubes!"*
*Later that evening, Jenn, gathering some tomatoes from the veggie patch, makes a fine italian pasta which all the housemates enjoy.*
*Monica is impressed by Jenn's contribution to the house, telling Marat, Goran and Serena after dinner that their is always room for redemption. She also make s it clear that she will not be tolerant of anyone who doesn't put in their fair share of work this week*
*After last week's hysterics, the house seems to have finally calmed down under this weeks provisions. Maybe some bonding and team work was what the house needed after all*
DAY 26
*The housemates are working like a well oiled machine, and making significant personal insights with the simple way of life*
*The cold showers have become the hardest part of everyone's week, Marat complaining to Goran and Juan Carlos in an early morning shower about "shrinkage", Goran quips; "Lucky none of the girls are in here with us!" all three nod in agreement*
*Marat is the only housemate who is still reluctant to play his part in group survival, telling Goran on the sofa; "I told you I don't do domestic - cooking, cleaning, or washing. The only domestic I do is changing the sheets on my bed and only if the girl I went to bed with has left before I remember to ask her to change them (saying this with a grin)". Goran Laughs at the chauvanistic joke, then adds "You know you are lucky Monica is not within earshot, I think she'd have your balls for breakfast". They both laugh.*
*But Marat's laziness has not gone unnoticed by the other housemates, and their peaceful harmony seems to be interrupted. Jennifer, trying to find every fault with Marat, to reinforce her mantra that she is too good for him, observes to Juan Carlos, Martina and Kim over a breakfast of fruit that Marat "has done nothing". She goes onto say; "I realise my faults, but the problem with him is that he thinks he is above us all and all his decisions are right. He treats us with contempt."*
*Later Jenn and Monica come to some sort of resolution while making the first batch of bread in the house with Martina. Jenn states that she feels like a 1950's housewife, as they knead the dough. Monica agrees, and laughs. Martina says that she feels everyone is getting on so much better in the house now. Monica laughs; "I think its because we are focusing all our attention on to Marat"*
*Marat amuses the housemates at dusk by beheading a chicken...."Now we will have some meat!" he shouts triumphantly. Most of the housemates are in laughter. Serena laughs; "I think I just became vegetarian". Jennifer and Monica exchange unimpressed glances. The housemates cook the chicken on the outdoor barbeque, with Lleyton adding his own "bush" spices.*
DAY 27
*The housemates had had fun last night, forgetting the resentment and tension of the rations; they realise they have Marat to thank for this after his antics with the chicken.*
*However, there now seems to be three distinct groups within the house. Marat, Goran and Serena who had been in cohoots since day one have strengthened their bond. Best friends, Jenn and Martina have been joined by Monica this week. And Kim and Lleyton form their own group. Juan Carlos seems to be acting as a go between within the groups; Marat and Gorans friend and Martina's lover.*
*Early in the morning, Marat is called to the diary room and informed by BB that should any more chickens be killed, the guilty party will be evicted from the house immediately. Marat asks "What if one of the chickens is ill, couldn't we put it out of it's misery... and then eat it?". BB gives a firm response "No".
* Marat returns to the group and relays the BB chicken rule to his housemates. Monica says she agrees with BB, saying because Marat had killed a chicken there would be less eggs for everyone. Jennifer nods in agreement. Serena, however is a bit miffed by her housemates' hypocrisy and is unable to hold her tongue saying "..but you two were the ones licking your lips and fingers when eating the bloody bird!"*
* The housemates settle down to a day of washing some of their clothes, however the novelty soon wears off for Marat and Goran who simply dunk their clothes in a bucket of water a couple of times. Serena laughs and says "..you weren't lying when you said you don't do domestic".
Marat dunks his shorts into Serena's bucket and says in a little boy lost voice, "I don't know how to wash shorts...show me how to wash these shorts". Serena then shows Marat the fundamentals of washing his two pairs of his shorts, as he didn't quite get the hang of it when she washed the first pair. Marat gives Serena a kiss on the cheek, selects another piece of clothing and says "Serena I don't know how to wash tops...show me how to wash tops". To the disgust of Monica and Jennifer, Serena proceeds to show Marat how to wash his tops - of course it took Serena washing three tops for Marat to get the hang of it!. Marat all the while is smiling in great appreciation of being shown these new skills!.
*Kim then comes out with her bucket of washing. Marat spots his opportunity and selecting the final pieces of his clothes heads towards Kim and says "Kim..I don't know how to wash clothes and you do such a good job on Lleyton's ... can you show me how to wash these properly". Kim happily obliges Marat's request, and starts to wash Marat's clothes for him.
* Goran and Juan sit and laugh in amazement and admiration at Marat's cheek in getting the girls to wash his clothes for him and both wish they had played the 'little boy lost without his mum' routine themselves. Juan went over to Martina and tried to replicate Marat's performance, but was met with a response of " Sure I will show you how to wash your clothes ...just watch and COPY me". Goran and Marat nearly fall off their chairs laughing at Juan's pathetic attempt.*
*Later the girls discuss Marat's antics. Monica, Martina and Jennifer say they think Marat is lazy and has a lack of respect for women. Serena and Kim say they didn't mind, Kim saying "If we don't wash them for him he would probably end up wearing dirty clothes ...I am sure if we needed some plugs changed or something complicated like that he would do it for us". Monica is irritated by their attitude, "Bullshit! There is no such thing as men's work and women's work. It is attitudes like that why Wimbledon continue to pay us less than the men". Monica goes onto say "Marat is a plain lazy...it is his turn to do the cooking tomorrow ,so he better pull his weight or I am going to see Big Brother about him"*
*Monica is then called int othe diary room to give her take on her nomination week. She tells Big Brother about how Jennifer has really contributed this week and has endeared herself to her, while others have become increasingly frustrating with their lack of contribution. She says that Marat is "Driving her Crazy! ". She also comments on the lack of female self-worth in the house and how some of the other girls are too submissive, "Sometimes I just want to say. Well, the women's movement happened 30 years ago, we don't have to be doing this anymore." She then goes on to say that everyone shows their true colours under this pressure; "You get to see who really cares, who is like you and who isn't. This week sure has been a learning experience!"*
*Tommorow is Marat's rostered day for cooking, will he come through?*

DAY 28
*After midnight, Juan Carlos sneaks into Martina's bed and they snuggle. It is Marat who notices the disturbance in the bedroom first, his bed is positioned next to serena's. Marat laments; "What the hell is that?", burying his head in the pillow. Serena chuckles and whispers; "Look for yourself". Marat looks up to see Juan Carlos and Martina in locked lips. Him and Serena laugh for a moment. Marat can't resist making comment; "Hey boys and girls" he yells. Martina and Juan Carlos look over to the smiling faces of Serena and Goran and blush. Jennifer has heard the disruption, snipping; "Hey Marat, you have a big day of work today (referring to his rostered cooking say), you should be getting some sleep" Marat smirks.*
*To everyone's surprise, and Jennifer and Monica's displeasure, it is Serena who has prepared breakfast. When it is served, Marat is still in a deep sleep. Halfway through breakfast he emerges clad in only his CK briefs*
*Before Monica or Jennifer can retort, no longer seeing point in keep their romance under wraps with over half the house knowing about it, Martina and Juan Carlos, declare their feelings for eachother. Drawing a crack from Goran; "Geez, this house is becoming too lovey-dovey -this is too funny"*
*Jennifer and Monica then question the situation between Serena and Marat. To no ones surprise, Marat had quickly found a way of getting out of doing his domestic chores by bartering with other housemates. Marat had promised Serena his daily fruit and egg ration for two days in return for doing his cooking rotation. Goran promptly offers to do Serena's cooking rotation in exchange for having his clothes washed*
*On finding out why Serena and not Marat is making breakfast, Jennifer becomes increasingly agitated at Marat ducking out of his responsibilities due his bartering scheme. Juan Carlos isn't keen on domestic either(although he won't admit it ) and offers to do Monica's cooking if she does his washing. Monica says the bartering goes against the principle of the task and tells him where to go in no uncertain terms*
*Jennifer and Monica watch in growing anger as Serena cooks lunch and dinner for the group while Marat sits on the lounger sunning himself. "I am going to confront him about this" Monica tells Jennifer. "This is piss taking of the maximum order"*
*Meanwhile, LLeyton and Kim are having their own personal saga, Kim can't bear all the tension and for the first time outbursts at the other housemates; "This is ridiculous, you are all so petty I cannot believe it. I can't believe that you cannot find a way to get along." Lleyton follows her to the bedroom where she admits that the nomination has got to her more than she had expected, and that she doesn't know if she can survive in the house without him, if he happens to go this week. She tells big brother this, in her trip to the diary room; "He (Lleyton) has been so great through out all of this, and I am falling apart. I don't think I'm strong enough to be by myself in here!"*
*The housemates engage themselves in another battle over the bartering issue at dinner. Monica, believes it belies the group punishment that they had received. Serena, Goran and Marat obviously disagree. Marat saying "I see no problem in offering other services in return for those which one is not good at". Lleyton and Kim, emerging from the bedroom, voice their appreciation for eachother.*
*Monica, still concerned over the issue, heads to the diary room to discuss the bartering system initiated by Marat. Monica tells BB that she thinks it is unfair and asks that BB make a ruling and make Marat pull his weight. BB promises to get back to Monica. Monica then tells Jenn , Martina and Juan Carlos what she has done. "Good for you" Jenn and Martina both encourage their friend, but Juan isn't so sure Monica has done the right thing. True to form, he says nothing.
*Later that night Marat discusses the sudden Jennifer/Monica alliance with Serena and Goran. Marat says that he feels Monica is acting like she is everyone's mother and was seriously getting up his nose. Marat also felt Jennifer was simply angry with him because she turned down her advances in the bedroom during the first week in the house. Serena said she felt Monica was suffering from the Billy Jean King syndrome - being far too controlling*
*Serena then smirks at Marat saying "By the way, what other services do you offer in exchange for domestic chores?". Goran adds "yes and is the service open to both sexes". The three all start laugh and Marat replies "I just threw that line in to get them wondering.. but if you want Serena I can put together a menu of my services that we can discuss later....". Serena replies "I look forward to the menu....."*
*With all the other housemates asleep, one emerges from the dark and heads to the kitchen....*
DAY 29
*The housemates awake early in the morning, still brewing over last night's debate. Jenn is the first to go the fridge, and finds her fruit ration missing, along with Kim's, Lleyton's and Marat's. She alerts the other housemates to this "injustice"*
*Jenn is quick to accuse Marat of being the phantom fruit stealer. Serena gets overly defensive of her boy and decides to air dirty laundry; "You know, just because it didn't work out between you two it is no need to get vindictive and snakey. This is why women get a reputation for being bitches. And besides why would he steal his own fruit?" Jenn erupts; "He has to be suspect, after the way he has acted this week. I have no personal issues with him". Serena laughs sarcastically. Jenn leaves to further her investigation*
*Kim breaks down again. This time comforted by Martina. "I can't believe I'm all teary" she cries.*
*Jenn and Monica go to the diary room to ask Big Brother to reveal the fruit stealer. Big Brother says that as part of this weeks primitive nature, the housemates would have to find their thief themselves*
*Meanwhile Goran has decided upon a fool proof method of keeping track of his fruit; he takes a bite of his apple and orange. When he goes back to the fridge, only an apple core is left. He moans; "This is beyond a joke now!". Marat owns up to stealing Goran's, with a chuckle; "Well someone stole mine. i had to throw in a red herring. Everyone is so serious about a piece of fruit," he says*
*Later on Monica is called back into the diary room, for Big Brother's ruling on the bartering system. He agrees with her, it is not acceptable. Marat is then called into the diary room, and told that, in line with BB's ruling, he must now cook dinner for the housemates this evening, taking serena's rotation.*
*Neither Marat, nor Serena, nor Goran know that it was Monica who initiated this action. Marat is annoyed to say the least; "Well now you can all taste my f***** cooking like wanted to" he smirks. Monica and Jenn, playing prudently do not wish to turn half the house dead against them, and so remain quiet.*
*In the afternoon, Martina admits that it was she who stole the fruit. Jenn and Monica are disgusted with her, but can forgive her. Marat and Goran laugh; "Well done, you took some of the attention off us. I guess we aren't the only bad guys in the house". Martina says that she couldn't help it; "I'm not use to living like this, I had to have that apple, that orange....I couldn't resist I'm so sorry". She is then called into the diary room for big brother's punishment. He is mindful of her first indiscretion, in the first week in the house when discussing nominations. This is her second offence against the BB principles. He says that in regards to next weeks nominations she will begin with 3 points penalties. One more indiscretion will result in automatic nomination. She leaves the diary room crying*
*Meanwhile Serena is insisting that Jennifer apologise for her accusations. Jennifer, for the first time in the house openly admits she was wrong. "Ooohhh this is good!" Marat exclaims. Jenn is not impressed.*
*Lleyton gives his diary; "I don't want to leave yet. This week has given me the chance to contribute, and I want to keep on contributing. I have taken a back seat in this house so far. I guess I'm not the extrovert I thought I was". Juan Carlos is mallow as always; "I've come in here with no expectations. I met a great girl and some people i liked, and some i haven't. I will be happy to leave tommorrow, i will also be happy to stay. I guess I don't really care either way!"*
*Marat butcher's dinner to seemingly end what had always been destined to be a miserable week in the house. His dinner was almost inedible, and several of the housmates barely touched their meals. "Now you can see why I don't do domestic" No one makes comment*
*The housemates gather on the sofa in collective misery. Not one is up beat. Kim and LLeyton know that an eviction that could end their love affair is only hours away. Jenn is furious at being made to look a fool. Martina feels like an isolated traitor. Marat and Goran are not only hungry, but disatisfied sexually. Monica feels like this whole disaster is her fault for pushing the others too hard. Juan Carlos too is contemplating eviction. Serena feels that the house is destined to continue to be bogged down by petty disagreements with its current dynamics*
*Their pensiveness is shattered by a knock at the store room door. Marat jumps up first to answer it, meeting a tall pony tailed young man, carrying a suit case. The man introduces himself as Xavier. Marat is confused for a moment, then the realisation; an intruder. Marat urges Xavier into the living room triumphantly; "Look what we have here" he shouts. The other housemates swarm around the new visitor, the first new person they had seen for over a month. Jenn flinches slightly, she feels like this could be yet another troublesome guy . They probe him for information*
*Not long after there is another knock, this time at the diary room door. Serena rushes to get it and locks eyes with a young african american exuding sex appeal. Lust fills Serena's eyes. "I'm James" he hugs her. All the housemates get up to greet him. All the girls notice his firm body. Marat notices this as well, he feels the challenge to his pretty-boy status within the house. "Any more coming?" Goran asks jokingly.*
*It is Kim who meets the knock at the bathroom door, petite Justine stands there with her suitcase in hand. Kim hugs her, yelling out "We have another one, its a girl!" This has even brightened her tear-filled week. Justine meets the other housemates, Kim and Monica particularly take a shine to her timid, shy exterior*
*After several hours of talking and laughing, the housemates, sure their will be no more unexpected arrivals, decide to head to bed. The bedroom is full once again, as it was at the beginning; 6 guys and 6 gals. Justine takes Tim's bed, Xavier takes andy's and James takes Venus', beside Serena's bed*
*When the bedroom had settled down, Kim slips her head under the covers of the bed she now regularly shares with lleyton. LLeyton's face, although trying to be discreet flinches with pleasure. The infra red lights pick up movement, halfway down the bed, bobbing up and down*
DAY 30
*After last nights shocks the housemates spend the morning, preparing for the eviction. While the four nominated housemates go about their business packing their bags, Jennifer and Martina take the oppurtunity to give the intruders a talking down about the nomination/eviction process. Justine is not so sure she will be able to handle the pressure; "Oh thats so much tension!" she says*
*LLeyton and Kim pack their bags together early in the morning and make their video wills. They want to get the formalities out of the way and spend the rest of the day spending quality time together. In the afternoon they head out to the garden for a jog and talk about what will happen if one of them happens to leave. Lleyton says; "I just want to see your face before I walk out that door,". Kim kisses him on the cheek "I love you"*
*Meanwhile, Serena has wasted no time sinking her claws into James; this is new flirting territory for her. "So is it true what they say about black guys?" she asks. James flirts right back; "I guess thats for me to know and you to find out." Serena is pleased by this new boy toy to play with, after breakfast they head out for a splash in the pool; "I have to teach you all about this house!" she says.*
*Goran, and even more so, Marat are not impressed by Serena's flirtations. They feel she has deserted what they had come to affectionately know as their; "jokers trio". Marat is ropable; "Look at the way she is throwing herself at him. That is ridiculous"*
*Juan Carlos and Martina meanwhile say goodbye privately, after Juan makes his video will; "So did you say something nice about me?" Martina asks. He whispers to her; "Of course babe. But I won't leave today. I've seen other Big Brother's around the world. The quiet guys never go at the start. Keep this hush hush, I don't want everyone knowing my strategy". They kiss and martina says; "I love a man with stategy!"*
*Monica quietly packs her bags by herself, then goes to make her video will*
*In the afternoon all is set for the eviction. The housemates gather on the couch*

Tennis Big Brother Written by Jenn & Mags
Days 31- 40
DAY 31
*Lleyton is gone and Kim is desolate. It is Justine who rushes to comfort her first. "I know this is hard, for sure, but you will get over this, we are all here for you". Kim laments, feeling alone. The problem for her is that she has spent the best part of four weeks socialising only with Lleyton, now he is gone and she will have to start to rebuild her relationships with the others "He was stronger than me. I should have gone before him. I can't see how I can get through this. There is no life in this house for me"*
*The housemates then watch Lleyton's Video Will. He spends much of his time praising Kim; "You are just the most wonderful girl I will ever meet. Thank you so much for allowing me to spend this last month with you". This brings Kim to tears again, she leaves the room, crying into her pillow. The housemates decide to let her have her space. Lleyton goes on to tell everyone that this has been the experience of his life, and that each one of them contributed to his experience; "It allowed me to see how I could adapt to different social and physical circumstances"*
*With the week of rations over, the housemates (without Kim) celebrate with a drink of champagne*
*Marat is still fuming over Serena's chasing after James. Jenn pipes up: " I think the problem is that you want everything you can't have. When Serena was with Andy you wanted her, even though you were with me. Then when Andy left you didn't want her anymore. Now she is after someone else and you want her again. You're never satisfied". Marat retorts; "You wouldn't know what you are talking about, you just have sour grapes". Xavier chimes in; "Hey listen, why don't you stop insulting her. She doesn't deserve it". Marat is furious; "What would you know, you have been in the house for 5 minutes, don't pass f***** judgement on me". Jennifer looks at Xavier and mouths; "Thank-you". He flashes a smile at her.*
*Monica is pleased to have survived her nomination telling Martina; "The public has seen that I am very important to the house. I stand up for what is right". Martina is worried about the forth coming nominations; "This three point penalty is going to see me nominated for sure, I just hope they (audience) realise that it was one lapse. I'm not evil". Monica hugs her; "It will be ok, definitely".*
*As the housemates gather for the nominations, Kim emerges from the bedroom; "I've decided to ask Big Brother if I can leave the house. Its all too much"*
DAY 32
*Big Brother has convinced Kim to stay overnight, and reconsider her descision to leave the house. All the housemates take turns at consoling her and trying to get her to stay; they may not have been that close to her, but she is one of them and they are all rallying behind her. Martina pipes up; "We all go through bad patches in this house, this is yours, but you can't quit. You have to be a fighter". Marat also has his say; "You are part of this house, we need you!". Justine hugs her "I haven't even had a chance to get to know you yet, you have to stay "*
*Kim hurries to the Diary Room to talk to big brother again*
*Meanwhile another week of four nominations has ensured that every remaining housemate (minus the intruders) has been nominated at least once; Martina and Marat being debutants. Monica is not pleased with her second nomination; "I try to do what is right, and this is what I get.". Marat jokes: "I guess to fit in with my character I should crack the shits right now, but seriously I couldn't give a shit about this nomination" For Martina, nomination was expected, she laments to the group; "This is what happens when you get penalised three points". Serena is using her second nomination as a mandate to let the accelerator down on her realtionship with James; "this week's gonna be so much fun," she says flirtatiously over breakfast.*
*When Kim emerges from the diary room, she announces that she has decided to stay for now. All the housemates welcome her back into the group. In the afternoon, her and Justine have a talk in the bedroom about love and life. Justine concludes that there are a lot of bad guys out there. Kim explains that that was where lleyton was so great. Justine tells her that he will still be there when she gets out; "If he is as great as you say, then for sure he will be waiting for you outside". Kim smiles; "of course he will"*
*Jenn seems intent on paying Serena back for her earlier flirtations with Marat. She also wants to avoid the mistake she made with Marat, in regards to Xavier. She tells Martina; "Its time to play hard to get". Jenn Smiles*
*Juan Carlos, pleased at the new company, organises a soccer tourney after lunch. All the male housemates, along with Serena and Justine who says that she has always loved soccer, participate. Juan Carlos is once again the star. Martina reminises, she had first viewed Juan carlos in a romantic light while he was playing soccer during the first week in the house. She tells Monica, Jenn and Kim; "You know who could have thought then, that everything wold turn out the way things are now. Time flys in here." Monica agrees, adding that the houses dynamics change every week and adaptability is essential. This conversation causes Kim to burst into tears, with thoughts of LLeyton. Martina chastises herself for being insensitive, while Monica gives Kim a motherly hug. Jenn, meanwhile, has seen her oppurtunity, with all the housemates present. She fetches a drink of soda and ice with a twist of lemon for James; "Here you go!" she says. He thanks her. She says, having dressed herself in her most revealing outfit; "You know, there is plenty more where that came from! You have been working so hard, you need a drink sweetie!" She turns on her heel and goes to sit with the other girls. Serena is fuming, Xavier beffudled and Marat amused. Thus the second great love triangle, [or is that square or pentagon ], of the house is initiated*
*In the evening the housemates are called to assemble in the living room and are given this weeks task. This weeks task is for the housemates to choose a theme song for themselves and to also to create outfits using the materials big brother has provided them in order to have a cat walk modelling parade. Goran chimes; "This ought to be a whole lot of fun"*
DAY 33
*The housemates are contemplating this week's task eagerly, after the mural debacle all are committed fully to working together to complete this task on time*
*Xavier has a heart to heart with Marat and Goran after breakfast about women; "I'll never understand them, not now, never. Take Jennifer for instance. I thought she was really in to me, and now, well, you saw" Marat and Goran exchange glances and let out a raw of laughter; "We have to tell you about that one (jenn)" Marat snipes. Goran chimes, "Boy, you have so much to learn!". They then proceed to tell him about Marat's brief relationship with her, and her intense rivalry with Serena. "She's more trouble than she is worth" Marat concludes. The three boys then have a pact, placing their hands one on top of the other and solemnly swearing to have no relationships in the house. Xavier however appears unconvinced. After their pact the boys share a cool beer. Goran says; "Its nice to see their is another guy with balls in the house". Marat laughs*
*Jennifer meanwhile has intensified her focus on James, they go to the store room to fetch the materials for the fashion parade. She asks him if he has ever had the erge just to pash someone, for no particular reason. He smiles, a sexy smile. Jenn grabs his arm as they leave the store room and Serena sees this. She promptly rushes over; grabbing James; "Come on honey, I want to show you around the house." She then takes him into the bedroom. This scene has also attracted Xavier's eye and seeing Jenn's advances on James has only made her more attractive. Jenn smiles at him. Marat has seen this and rolls his eyes; "Come on man, lets go shoot some hoops". Marat, Goran, and Juan Carlos, who has by now joined them usher him out into the backyard*
*Big Brother has provided the housemates with many raw materials for making costumes. He has included traditional, ready made clothes as well as some extra materials like silk, diamontees, foil, beads, cardboard etc for those who want to make outlandish additions to their costumes.*
*By the afternoon, Kim has found solace in producing her outfit. Her and Justine talk about growing up in Belgium, while Kim embroids beads and sequins onto an elegant indigo dinner dress. Justine then reveals the heart break of losing her mother. This puts everything into perspective for Kim: "You are so strong. If I was half as strong as you, then I wouldn't be the mess I am in now" She hugs Justine, "I'm so glad you have made it into the house, in such a short amount of time you have helped me so much". Justine says that they are such similar people, with similar values, they were bound to be firends. Their conversation then extends to the other boys left in the house, Justine comments that she finds James very attractive. Kim agrees; "Of course, you have a lot of competition if you want to go after him" she says. They both laugh. Jenn, Martina and Monica then join the group; "Is this mothers club?" Martina chuckles. Then they discuss which theme songs they think most appropriate for them, but find few answers. Marti thinks that "Get over You" by Sophie Ellis Bextor is appropraite for Jenn. Jenn laughs - she wants something tougher. Monica then points out, that they hadn't heard music for over a month; "This is a such a weird experience" she says. The other girls agree.*
*In the bedroom, Serena has gone through her full repetoire of clothes. He of course is very interested (not). She sees this and gives him a kiss on the cheek, the only reason she had brought him in here was to keep him away from Jenn. " Run along and shoot some hoops with the other boys," she says. James leaves, rolling his eyes. He loved female attention, but he was struggling with all that he is getting. The boys quickly accept him inmto their game, Goran quips; "You managed to get through the Jenn forest and avoid the Serena Swamp, well done, you have passed the obstacle course. I can't believe you managed to get out here". James realises the joke is on him, but laughs with the other boys - it was kind of funny*
*At night attention again turns to the theme songs, and no one seems to agree what is most appropriate for each character. Can we give them the help they need?*
DAY 34
*It is past midnight when Serena descides to end her semi stand off with Marat and Goran. She climbs into bed with Marat, giving him a friendly hug, then wakes Goran and does the same. She sits on the edge of her bed and says to them; "I need to talk to you both. You know we will always be buddies! Just because I have met someone new and interesting, doesn't mean that i love you two any less. You guys have rocked this house for me. If I left this weekend, it would be you who i would remember most" They both thank her for the reassurance, but Marat won't be sentimental for long; "Can we get some sleep now?" Serena and Goran both slam Marat around the ears with their pillows, then the three giggle themselves to sleep.*
* After breakfast, Goran encourages the guys to spend the day making their costumes naming it the 'Guys only day' - he once the guys to express freely who they are without having to be impeded by the prejudging of the girls. They settle into a relatively secluded spot in the garden. Marat is initially not too keen with this sewing lark, but in a burst of inspiration suggests to the guys that they go for a collective look. After some discussion the guys agree to create outfits that all use the card symbols - ace, diamonds, spades, king, queens etc, naming it the 'ATP House of Cards collection' *
*Meanwhile Jenn, Martina, Monica, Serena, Kim and Justine are poolside, Jenn had led the girls out earlier to get a perfect tan for the fashion parade. With the boys absent, Martina and Jenn take the oppurtunity to take off their bikini tops; "We need a full tan!" Jenn explains. The other girls, even Serena, are too modest for this. Serena swipes at Jenn's exhibitionism; "Hey to get a full tan, shouldn't you remove the bottom half as well?". Jenn rolls her eyes in anger*
* Marat is inspired with creativity and proceeds to draw and sew figures of princes and aces on a pair of figure hugging short shorts and a t-shirt that he rips with a razor to go for the 'sexy look'. Goran suggests that Marat removes the front section of his shorts but Marat laughs as he replies, " with James in the house I doubt if anyone would notice anyway". James uses the diamond to represent his sparkling personality, gluing sequins into diamond shapes over his jeans and t-shirt saying he is the "model gem on the ATP tour". Goran quips "with those sequins perhaps you should change the symbol to the queen". The boys all fall about laughing, including James himself. James then says that he has chosen his theme song: "What's Luv?" by Fat Joe, Ja Rule and Ashanti. He explains that he wants a real girl who loves him for what he is, not all the aesthetics. Juan Carlos and Xavier are also get into the spirit of the gathering with Xavier going for a pair of swimming thongs. Diamond patches are made that will be glued to each of Xavier's bum cheeks and the main thong is made of string with several strings of beads placed strategically at the front. Juan Carlos amazes everyone by appliquéing his outfit with all the card symbols illustrating "he is an all rounder". Juan Carlos then assists Goran in cutting and sawing various pieces of fabric together to make a jokers outfit.*
*After they are tanned to satisfaction (and Jenn and Marti have replaced their bikini tops) the girls go set up their work shop with eye view of the boys. Marat laughs; "they can't get enough of us!"*
* Monica looks on in admiration at the way the boys have settled down to the task. She is particularly impressed with Marat as he drops his macho image and takes to a needle and thread like a duck to water. Monica absently says to Serena and Martina '..perhaps he could be trained after all, if he gets more in touch with his feminine side'. Serena raises her eyebrows and laughs saying jokingly "Are you interested in the Russian sexbomb then?". Monica is quick to dismiss such a suggestion, '...no, no not at all, I was just saying....'. Monica walks off, but Serena, who had intended it to be a joke, notices she has gone a deeper shade of red! Martina comments; "You do know Serena, that there is a fine line between hate (referring to Monica's anger with Marat last week) and lust" The two girls giggle.*
*Justine chats to Kim regarding her feelings for James, "You must admit he is very nice, but I suppose he probably likes the more assertive type like Serena or Jenn". Kim said she only had eyes for Lleyton, but that she felt that James would certainly appreciate a genuine person rather than someone who threw themselves at him with no self-respect. Justine took heart from Kim's comments and says "I think I will get to know him better, go for a meeting of minds rather than bodies"*
*While Serena settles down to work on her outfit, Jenn takes the opportunity to try out her new thong bikini, pours two glasses of juice and wonders over to the boys. On seeing Jenn in an outfit that leaves little to the imagination, Marat pricks his finger with the needle, Xavier drops his string of beads and even Goran is lost for words. Jenn wonders over to James, hands him the drink and says "Here you go...we wouldn't want you panting like a dog now would we?". She has left Xavier panting very much like a dog, he wants her more than ever now. Jenn slowly turns with her back to James and says "..does my bum look big in this?.". James always the gentleman replies "No...I can't see any fat at all". At that, Jenn gives Serena a devilish grin and says "James...really, you are always complementing me" and slowly walks off to lie on a sunbed. Serena fumes at Jenn's attempt to seduce James, pricks her finger and mutters to herself, "Please girl...the problem is he can't see where you bum ends and your waist begins!"*
*Some of the other female housmates are not impressed with the Serena/Jenn war. Martina and Monica re finding it painfully childish and think it degrades women. Martina says that she is thinking of having a word to her best friend about it*
*The boys meanwhile join the girls at dinner, after enjoying what Goran had labelled the "Greatest and most productive day ever" without the petty carping of the girls. Monica is not impressed by his lumping all the females in the house together, but bites her tongue.*
*After dinner the housemates all set about working together in the living room, on the outfits. Justine takes the oppurtunity to get to know James; "It must be so hard for you...with all the girls gawking at you and all..."*
DAY 35
* James and Justine's talk had descended deep in to the night, when the other housemate had gone to bed the two stay up together adding finishing touches to their outfits. Justine had done the bulk of her outfit after dinner, she was amending a pair of flares to her height 'I'm so small and fragile compared to everyone in here, sometimes I think I still have growing to do" she says. She then says she has chosen 'I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" by Britney Spears as her theme song. "I don't feel like an adult just yet" James laughs. She had decided that she was going to dress in a pant suit with a tie; "I hate gender stereotypes, there is no such thing as masculine and feminine." James agrees; "In the end, the intellectual connection is so much mroe important" A sleepy Jenn somes out of the bedroom to get a glass of water and is stunned to see the two still at it past 2 am. She scowls and walks to bed.*
*In the morning the boys again head out to the same spot in the garden to continue their project. Marat feeling in a mischievous mood suggests to Goran that what would really make the fashion show go with a swing is if Xavier's thong were to come apart with him in it!. Goran grins and says "I get your drift" and the troublesome two burst into uncontrollable laughter at the impending event*
*Juan Carlos is the first to start the rumour mill by questioning James about the late hour at which he had heard him and Justine return to the bedroom. "Yes it was good to get to know her. Justine is a very funny and intelligent person and she certainly has a class about her...and I like that in a women".*
*Goran shakes his head and says "Don't you have enough trouble with two women in your life without adding a third...I thought Marat was bad!". James says, "Don't get me wrong...all I am saying is that if I have to spend time with a women I want her to be able to hold a intelligent conversation and not just walk around half naked". Xavier says "... but if she can hold a conversation AND walk around half naked that would be even better!" , to which Marat replies "Amen" and the others all nod. Goran then jokes "Ok so you want a women for conversation but we want a women who goes around half naked, so please don't tell Jenn your preference just yet!". The guys burst into hysterics and give each other high fives. Goran the says that he has chosen his theme song, The Joker (Steve Miller Band); "How could I choose anything sels?" He says. Marat has chosen Lou Bega's I got a girl, mainly at the Juan Carlos and Goran's urgence who had come to know him well over the past month. Marat smiles a devilish grin; "This song is so true, although I have one in Timbuktu as well!". They all laugh. Only Xavier and Juan Carlos remain uncommitted to a theme song at this point*
*Jenn, has chosen two theme songs to be cut and played together, first Pink's Hazard to myself encapsulating her darker days, and then I'm gonna give myself permission to shine (Bachelor Girl) saying that she has to represent the old Jenn and the new Jenn. When the first song finishes she will open her jacket and reveal a sequined binkini top and houla skirt. But at the moment she is preoccupied with what she saw last night, Justine and James' conversation. She tells Monica and Martina that Justine has to be put back in her place; "She resides below me in tennis, she will be below me in here as well". Martina finally pipes up; "Don't you think you are being a tad too competitive, I mean, you are a beautiful girl you don't need to be so aggressive all the time." Monica agrees. But Jenn rolls her eyes; "You don't get anywhere by being complacent, you must seek your own destiny!"*
*Meanwhile, Kim has chosen, addressing LLeyton Diana Ross' "Ain't no Mountain High Enough" as her theme song. Kim has affectionately labeled Justine "Juju" and they are now talking once again about James. .Justine says: "He is really very well educated and sees life beyond just tennis...I have a growing respect for him." Kim looks at Justine's eyes and says "I think you are falling for this guy big time....like me and Lleyton it isn't about being famous or only a physical attraction, it is about sharing goals, aspirations and ideals. God I sound like Oprah!". Both girls start to giggle and Kim advises her friend to keep going as she feels that James likes her too*
*Monica has chosen Alanis Morrisettes "You Learn" as her theme song. She says; "This song rings so true for me. I've been through a lot during my years on tour. THis house is sort of like a mini experience of that. I don't think you ever stop learning." She tells Jenn, Serena and Martina that this weeks nomination has come as a shock, she thinks that she had been a team player, cooking, cleaning etc. and couldn't understand why her fellow housemates had picked on her; "They are some of the most ungrateful people I have ever met". Martina replies "... I had three nomination points to start off with - what's a girl to do?". Martina had taken one of Monica's apples and not feeling in a generous mood, Monica snapped " ...what you could have done was not have stolen the food!". Martina was taken aback by Monica's snappy reply and hit back "Perhaps if you didn't keep coming across as Miss perfect and loosened up a bit instead of playing mother, maybe you wouldn't get nominated!". This rings true for Monica who says that she has to spend some time alone, head to the diary room and gives her video diary; "I think this house is the only place in the world where you can be badly regarded for doing the right thing. There are some great people in here, but I just don't feel like I have connected with a lot of them. They seem to be becoming more distant."*
*With Jenn also leaving momentarily, fellow nominees Martina and Serena talk. Serena says she feels she will be evicted this week, "The time is right, defintely. Venus left, Andy left. A lot of the loud personalities are gone. I have to be next." She then tells Martina that she will be backing off her relationship with James who she sees as using his good looks to get in favour with all the girls in the house, at least until the eviction is over. She does not want to waste anymore precious time in the house; "I'd rather spend it getting to know people than chasing some guy around. Friends last longer anyways." The two are still at a loss as to their theme songs. Martina says she has loved talking to Serena; "We really need to talk more girl"*
*Monica spends the rest of the day alone, wondering which housemates nominated her for eviction. To add to her troubles, Monica is begining to have feelings for Marat, but the big guy didn't seem to notice her. While Marat would joke and play with Serena, all he ever said to her was "good morning" and "good night". Not wanting to talk to anyone, Monica retired to bed early - and nobody seemed to notice*
* The remaining housemates spend the evening in their little groups, Marat and Goran let Serena in on their plan for Xavier. Jenn discusses her plan to put Justine back in her place with Martina. Later Serena joins the conversation and the three girls talk about their childhoods, and the presures of being prodigies. Jenn and Serena for once, find common ground, Martina seems to be the link that could pull them together. Xavier, Juan, and Kim talk about places they have visited and James and Justine get to know each other better. The dynamics of the house are changing again......The big fashion parade waits the house tommorrow*

DAY 36
*Now regularly sharing a bed, Juan Carlos and Martina are both in desperate need of a theme song and before day break they decide to go and enjoy the sunrise outside, clear their heads and look for inspiration. It is a barmy morning and the two enjoy the pace of the early morning, the crispness of the air and the pleasure of eachother's company. Juan Carlos says; "The say I am a man of few words, do you think I should talk more?" Marti answers; "I love you just the way you are, the fact that you don't talk 24/7, only makes what you do say more significant". "Your so positive, its such a great quality. You're a straight shooter. You say what you think. Thats what I love about you" In a burst of inspiration Juan Carlos comes up with the perfect theme song for Martina, Jennifer Lopez's I'm real. He also comes up with Elvis' A little less converation for himself. Martina is thrilled. They kiss, and then watch sun break through the clouds and fill the veranda with tangerine light*
*The two have another hour by themselves before the other housemates begin to awaken on the day of their performance. Serena adds the finishing touches to her skimpy white backless number, in the manner of marilyn monroe. Proclaiming; "I didn't go to fashion school for nothing" when complimented by Martina and Kim on the intricasy of the design. She plans to put on quite a show to the funky rhythm of destiny's child's Bootylicious, "If I leave the house tommorow, then I want everyone to remember what i do tonight"*
*Xavier, who has no idea that Marat and Goran have sabotaged his thong, is participating in a mock catwalk performance, poolside with Jenn and Justine. He laments his lack of a theme song, and is quite urgently seeking one. Jenn, whose mind games with Serena over James had distracted her from her initial attraction to Xavier, fanes falling in to pool while the three of them are strutting their stuff. Of course Xavier rushes over catches her in his arms, preventing her from tumbling in the pool. Jenn, wearing a top with a scoop neck that exentuates her cleavage, looks admiringly into his eyes, whispering seductively; "You're my Hero. I don't know what I would have done without you". She straightens up and looks into his eyes, "Thank-you". Feeling that she has achieved her purpose she hurries off, inside; "I've had enough practice". Xavier, full of pride and lust, declares to Justine that tonight during the catwalk presentation he would use the song Hero (Enrique Inglesias) and appeal to Jenn.*
*Monica, plans to break her mould tonight by donning an see through gold number, with a cutting neckline, in the manner that J. Lo made famous. She has made up with Martina, apologising for yesterday's outburst; "I just don't know how to act in here anymore. I guess just being myself is the way to go. But being yourself isn't all that easy in here, it sort of distorts what you really are!". Martina agrees to that and gives her a hug, as she adds some final embellishments to her short red skirt, and whispy blouse. She prepares also to where a cute pink hat, and sunglasses.*
*First time eviction nominee Marat, gives his video diary saying that "Goran has become one of my best mates, we will always be friends now - we are just so a like. Me and Serena, well we are on the same wavelength, she's a great girl. Also I have enjoyed very much this week the company of the intruders; Xavier is my protégé. Of course, I have had some arguments with people in here, but overall I can ignore them and move on - I am very confident in here, I don't think I will be going tomorrow."*
*Martina, too, gives her diary; "This weeks task has been so much fun. Also I have got to know people in the house, particularly Serena, she's a great girl too. As time goes on, I get to love this place and the people so much more. At the start it (being in the house) was very difficult for me, but now I feel like just about everyone in this house is my friend and I can open up to them, that's a very unique feeling"*
*Now all is set for the night's fashion extravaganza. The housemates gather outside after dinner. Big Brother has set up a long catwalk, with a curtain, behind which the housemates can prepare themselves for the big walk*
*Goran has been elected the announcer/commentator by the other housemates. First to walk the walk is Monica who is at first timid as she strides up the catwalk the first time. "And here is the very beautiful Monica; looking angelic in her gold plated outfit, but be careful get on her bad side and she bites" Monica strains a smile at Goran's back handed compliment, then lets go of her inhibitions as her song rings out, walking confidently back stage*
*James is next, he holds himself sexily walking up the catwalk, drawing the eyes of all the girls in the house. Goran blurts "James thinks his the jewel of the tour, and the girls of the house are certainly finding him very precious" "He is delicious isn't he?" Serena cleverly puts to Justine. "Oh Yes" Justine stammers "If you like that sort of look" Serena rolls her eyes and giggles, she whispers; "Go for it girl". Justine blushes as James completes his stunt; Calling "I'm the man!"*
*Kim is next and she is the picture of sartorial elegance in her dinner dress. "She has been through heart ache in the last week, but she is out to break the boys hearts with this beautiful gown" says Goran, not wanting to be snide. Kim is brought to tears by the sentimentality of her theme song, calling "I love you Lleyton" as she leaves the stage.
*It is Juan Carlos' turn next and he is surprisingly uninhibited, putting all his energy into the effort; "Juan Carlos is the quiet man of the house, his cool and athletic.but he might bore you to death in a conversation".*
*It is Martina's turn next, and she struts her stuff sweetly up the cat walk; a natural. Her red skirt is short and sexy, drawing the attention of Marat; "Love the skirt girl". Her song resounds as she strikes poses and glares. "And here is Martina, the sweet girl of the house..just don't let her near your fruit". Martina smiles, realising the joke is on her*
*Jenn is out next and she turns the night in a whole new direction with her sassy, provocative performance. She mimes the words of her song as she storms up the cat walk the first time in a modest pink feathered floor length Jacket. When her first song ends; she discards the jacket throwing it into the crowd and snagging Xavier who is turned on by the smell of her perfume. She then proceeds, clad only in a sequined blue bikini top and see through, thong revealing, blue hoola skirt to wriggle her bum up the catwalk, drawing whistles of delight from the male housemates. Goran quips; " And here is Jenn, she is always short of clothes, unfortunately she is never short on words" "Boy that was hot" says Xavier.*
*Marat is next, keen to play up to his pretty boy image. His skin hugging outfit draws the girls attention, particularly Monica's, who has to go get an alcoholic drink.. Marat gestures to the female housemates, calling them towards him and glares with his 'come to bed with me' eyes. He puts his finger to his lips as if to say, 'quiet down, I don't need all the applause' "This is Marat.he thinks his god's gift to women.with that package (referring to Marat's notable bulge in a tight outfit) maybe he is" Marat shouts as he goes of the stage "I'll be back stage for all the ladies who want me!" Monica surprises him but meeting him their, and kissing him passionately on the mouth, then walking off "Lets talk about this another time" she says, smiling to herself.*
*Not to be outdone by Jenn, Serena is next, and to her spirit spawning "bootylicious" she proceeds to act "munroesque" up the cat walk, twirling he dress and blowing kisses to her audience. "Here is my kind of girl, she has so much substance ...in her bra" All the housemates erupt with laughter, even feminist Monica. Serena then proceeds to bend down allowing the full breadth of her cleavage to be seen, she shakes her front. The assembly is now getting rowdy."
*Justine's modest performance, in a modest outfit, to a sweet teeny bopping ballad is the eye of the storm. A wholesome lull in a wild production; "Here is Justine, she is not sure weather she is a girl or a woman, judging by the clothes she may be a man"*
*It is Xavier's turn next, now the fireworks were set to begin. He had not yet noticed the frailty of his thong. He marches up the catwalk, to the music, making eye contact with Jenn, smiling at her. All the while his thong is slipping. Goran waits for the punchline. Jenn, who by now had had far too much to drink, was looking at him seductively. This gets Xavier excited. The thong snaps at the back and he is left revealed. Goran interjects as the housemates laugh raucously: "This is Xavier, his fashion statement, was to wear.nothing. and he is very excited about it" Marat and Goran high five; another joke successfully executed. Xavier, at first blushes, but then he hurries of stage, puts a pair of pants on and him and Jenn scurry of towards the bedroom*
*Goran closes the show with his Joker's outfit, when he reaches the end of the catwalk he says; "The show is over..The joke is on all of us! Good night ladies and gentlemen" The remaining houemates, minus, Xavier and Jennifer, and Justine and James who had mysteriously disappeared at some point during the evening, applaud whole heartedly*
DAY 37
*After last night's theatrics the housemates awake with a hangover, but are quickly sobered by thoughts of eviction*
*In case she is evicted Serena wants to have the last laugh in the practical joke war, she tumble dries all of Marat and Goran's shirts, shrinking them to the point of ridiculousness. "This ought to be very comfortable for them" she giggles. She then folds the shirts up and puts them in the draw, finishes packing her bags and heads off to make her video will*
*Justine and James, who last night had left the party early, to cuddle in the bedroom, are asked early in the morning by Kim if they were now an "item". The two are definite; "For sure, we're just good friends, affectionate friends" Justine says. James adds "She's a great girl, we enjoy each others company, but there is nothing romantic here. Its better than romance. Its a connection"*
*Marat decides that it is time to straighten things out with Monica and confronts her poolside after breakfast. Marat says that as much as he would like to get to know her more as a friend, he is dedicated to remaining single in the house; "I don't know what was behind our kiss last night, but I have to be honest with you. I love women, but in here, well it just isn't the right place, for.well..starting a relationship. Especially for me, I can't deal with it." Monica laughs at him; "Oh last night, that was just an impulse thing. I thought I'd lash out, be daring. Don't take that too seriously". Deep down Monica is a little hurt, but she doesn't show it. Monica says that it was all part of her resolution to "loosen up", and she vows that she won't be calling everybody up on their actions anymore; "If I survive the eviction, I'm in here for me, not to be everyone's mother. This is my experience, I'm going to enjoy it." Marat praises her for her new outlook; "Amen to that" He says Jokingly. Monica than cups some water from the pool and splashes it on him. "I'll let that one go," he says, "You are loosening up after all" Monica smiles and splashes him again, Marat splashes her back and they both laugh. Big Brother calls them into the Diary Room to make their video wills before it gets too messy*
*Martina is very nervous about the eviction, telling Juan Carlos and Jenn; "This night feels so different when it is you who might be going. I didn't think I'd feel so nervous as I am now". Juan Carlos also does not want to lose Martina, after Martina's goes to make her video will he says to Jenn; "Yesterday we shared a moment out on the porch, and I realised just how much she means to me. I'm really starting to love her." Jenn tells Juan that he is so sweet and gives him a reassuring hug; "She won't go today, she's too important to both of us". Xavier sees Jenn embracing Juan Carlos and pricks his eyebrow up, Jenn isn't throwing herself at another man again, surely?*
*Before the eviction, Goran, Serena and Marat go outside to shoot the breeze, there was a good chance, with both Serena and Marat nominated that one of them will go. "I'm just so lucky to have met both of you" says Goran.*
*All the housemates gather in preparation for the announcement*
DAY 38
*Serena is gone, and more than any of the previous evictees, her absence cuts deep into the fibre of the household. For the last five weeks Serena had made her prescence felt in every facet of the household; romance, frienships, jokes, raunchiness and tasks. Where the previous evictees struggled to connect with all the housemates, Serena had asserted herself as the households Alpha Female. The house appears empty without her prescence. The housemates settle down to watch her video will*
*Predictably, Serena spends much of her address voicing her love for Marat and Goran; "I love you guys..never stop being funny. Look in your draws I think I'll have the last laugh." She then turns her attention to Monica who she tells to "chill out". She tells Jennifer that she admires her "audacity and energy" and Martina that she "is one of the most genuine people in the house". She tells Kim to make the most of her time in the house, and for Justine to never lose her sense of self. Juan Carlos is told to "come out of yourself", Xavier that he is "a cool guy" and finally James; "you can break so many hearts in there..be nice"*
*Marat and Goran head off to inspect their draws, and find their shirts shrunk "That little bitch" says Marat and him and Goran both giggle. "We are going to get her back so bad when we get out (of the house)" says Goran*
*Big Brother then makes an announcement, saying that the three intruders are now recognised as full housemates, this means they will be eligible for nomination this week. Justine says "Ohhhh..I'm so nervous". The housemates then descend into a conversation about the types of housemates more likely to get evicted. Monica says; "Well I think, definitely so far, it has been those who aren't really discreet about their opinions, apart from Tim. Maybe the public like calm, inoffensive people.". James has decided that it is no coincidence that the only two female housemates to leave so far have been African American; "There is definitely an element of racism there. I mean its obvious the public don't want to see African Americans win". Justine agrees; "Even in this new society bigotry is still a major obstacle" Martina retorts; "That is ridiculous, it is purely by coincidence that Venus and Serena have been the two evicted. You must remember their behaviour is very provocative as well. They have big mouths, that's not always a bad thing. But it can get on people's nerves". James replies; "So you think racism is a joke do you? Well it's a reality and its sad even this game is effected by it" Martina says; "The fact that they are black has nothing to do with them being evicted. That is my point. Of course racism is awful, but I don't believe it is happening in this case". Jennifer supports her friend; "You are certainly drawing a long bow, you know, like, so many other factors go into eviction". Marat interrupts; "Calm down boys and girls, it is getting too hot in here". James concludes; "If I am nominated this week, I bet I will be evicted. Then it is three strikes and your out. The public can not be given the benefit of the doubt then". Martina snaps; "What a cop out. If the public don't like you, it couldn't possibly because of your personality it has to be because of racism. What an arrogant attitude. Grow up and get over yourself"*
*With tension now engulfing the house, the nominations hold even more ramifications..*

DAY 39
*Goran, having, been nominated for a third time laughs at the announcement; "Maybe this time, it is third time lucky!". Justine and James take their nominations as no surprise, given they are new housemates. Inevitably this experience will bring them closer together*
*Early in the morning, while Monica leads her exercise regime, Kim decides to spend some quality thinking time in the chicken coup. She feeds the chicken's and stares at their rhythmic chaos as they feed. She is assessing her position in the house, still wounded by LLeyton's early ousting. It is Marat who joins her first; "What's happening over here." He moves his hand back and forward like a pendulum in front of her eyes; "Earth to Kim!". "I'm sorry" she says "I'm just taking some time out. I'm finding it so hard in here at the moment. You wouldn't understand.". Marat explains, that if she was sad about LLeyton, then he knew exactly how she felt; "Here I am, and I just lost the greatest girl I have met in a long time (Serena). But I'm not about to fall apart. We have to stay strong in here. I'm always here for a hug if you need one". Kim is taken aback by his sensitiveness 'Thank-you so much" she says and hugs him. "Thats what we call a russian bear hug" he says. Kim giggles. Then Kim goes on to say about how she feels so inhibited in the house, and that the other presonalities were so loud that sometimes she just wants to scream to drown them out. Marat replies; "Then scream. If thats what it takes to make you feel like you belong here. Then scream. Hell, everyone else in here does without hesitation" Kim agrees, then starts to giggle. Marat asks what she is laughing at. Kim replies; "That shirt, its so small. Serena must be laughing so much now". Marat smirks; "now don't get smart miss kim" Boith agree that this is a very tranquil, pensive place in the house and promise that whenever they need solace it will be here that they come*
*Xavier meanwhile, who was rebuffed in the bedroom by Jennifer both nights after friday nights action, can no longer control his jealousy when he sees Jennifer laughing with Juan Carlos again. He decides to confront her about the state of their relationship, asking her what Friday night meant to her. Jenn says that Friday night was "a lot of fun" but that she feels that she doesn't need a heavy duty relationship at the moment; "i don't need all the strings that come with it. That's why I don't want bed time cuddles. We should at least move slowly, if we are gonna do this at all You know, I really rather get over lust and have a real relationship for a while. I want to, like, give it a chance to grow". Jenn dismisses his thoughts of an attraction to Juan Calros as ridiculous. Xavier agrees to let their relationship bloom. Jenn later tells Martina that with Serena out of the house, she no longer feels like she needs to be so urgent in her realtionships with the guys in the house; "I can take it slow, knowing that she won't be trying to steal them (the guys). Its so easy without her in the house!"*
*James, Justine and Monica settle into the debate about education in the afternoon. James believes that an education is essential to be a well rounded person, it is very important even on the tennis tour. Monica and Justine, who both left school early to pursue their dreams disagree with him, saying that education is secondary to natural intelligence. James argues that education leads to less ignorance in the individual saying:" You can see even in this house, some people just can't hold their tongues when they have very little knowledge on a particular subject. They are not stupid They are ignorant. I just think those people could benefit from not leaving school at 11 or 12 and learning something about the world" Justine and Monica agree to diagree with him. Justine thinks her friend is both intelligent and articulate, while Monica takes note of James' over inflated sense of self worth*
*Goran dons a paper chef's hat and an apron in the evening, with no other clothes, saying that he will play the naked chef. Marat comments; "Mate that is one hairy arse!". All the housemates laugh at him, while he creates some authentic croatian cuisine; "I learnt this recipe from my mother" he says. To everyone's surprise the meal is delicious. Martina laughs; "Well I was beginning to think you two (marat and Goran) were twins. But it turns out there is a difference. You (goran) can cook, and Marat can't!". All the housemates laugh, except for James who is still treating Marti as "persona non grata" after yesterday's argument*
*After dinner the housemates are given this weeks task. Big Brother announces that the housemates must create a short film, that takes place within the house. They can choose the genre, storyline, who will be lead characters etc. The film must be atleast 60 minutes long. At the end of the week their will be a screening of the film, and their will be an awards ceremony "the BB's" - big brother's version of the oscars. Jenn smiles; "I always wanted to be an actress"*
DAY 40
*Jennifer, Monica and Martina continue to operate in their clique. They sit on the veranda eating their breakfast. They spend the morning summing up the other members of the household. They have given the different housemates code names. Marat is "boy toy", Kim is "tissue" and Justine "gidget", Goran is "jekyl", James; "stroppy" and Juan Carlos "Baby" and Xavier; "chisel". The three giggle. Martina says; "I think we should set jeckyl up with tissue, I think they both need a bit of loving. Jeckyl is a little two sarcastic these days". Monica laughs; "I think stroppy needs some relief as well". Jenn quips "Tell me about it, like, he is just so not getting anything from gidget". The three cackle. Marat sees their grouping while he, Xavier and Juan Carlos are taking an early morning swim, he nicknames them "the coven". Juan Carlos and Xavier are not impressed, given their two love interests are within Marat's coven*
*The housemates gather over lunch and attempt to map out the plot of their melodrama. Kim suggests a murder mystery and this is received favourably by the other housemates. Typically Jennifer decides to impose herself upon the production, saying that she would like to take the principal female role - she also insists that their be a romantic plot involved in film; "It has to be a film that appeals to many interests." Goran chuckles "We are not making a chick flick". James believes that the film must address social issues; "We should be trying to send a message with this film". The housemates then begin to talk over each other, shouting each other down with their variety of ideas, and who should take the principal roles. Kim rises above the raucous shouting "Quiet!" The housemates are stunned - here was the mouse that roared. Marat is quietly satisfied as Kim addresses the assembly; "We need to delegate here. Writers, Camera people, and actors. We can't all be doing everything, it will never work." Marat breaks the stunned silence with a call of "You go girl" and he claps. Kim flashes a cute smile at him. All the housemates know that she is right. But none are thus far willing to take an off-screen role. The housemates split again, unable to come to any decision as a group*
*James and Justine, who Marat and Goran have nicknamed the "Double J's", are joined by Martina, Juan Carlos and Jennifer later on in the day, in discussing the finishing line. Martina says; "There is no question, I want to win. I don't enter competitions to lose. If I didn't think I had a chance to walk out of this house as a winner, I wouldn't be in here at all.". Jennifer agrees; "I hate to lose. I know I am probably not the favourite, I'm an emotional woman. But, you know, like, I think I've shown that I can win against the odds. I'm not giving up yet." Justine says that while she would love to win, she came in here simply for the experience; "Its such a test of character" she says. Juan Carlos thinks that definitely tactics are needed to survive early weeks in the house, you need to be prudent, but in order to become the overall winner; "You need to be yourself. If you are putting on an act, then I think people are going to see write through you. I do want to win, but I want to win for being myself". James thinks that if you came in here for winning then you have the wrong idea; "There have been 15 people living in this house, only one will win. Probably only that person has the qualities to appeal to the wider audience to win the thing. We all have annoying habits that are magnified. You just have to treat this philosophically. If you win, then so be it. I think that winning is an unrealistic goal at this stage" Martina and Jennifer scowl*
*Meanwhile Goran, Marat and Xavier have taken to the garden, for a work out and a chat. Marat quizzes Xavier on his relationship with Jenn. Xavier explains that they are taking it slowly. Goran laughs; "She is playing you like a trombone". Marat sneers. Xavier disagrees; "I can always break it off whenever I want". Marat and Goran roll their eyes as they continue to perform pushups. The boys then go for a swim to cool off, and discuss how they plan to spend the next few weeks in the house. Marat is most cocky; "I will survive at least until the last week. I would be surprised if I did not win this thing". Goran jokes; "Careful, your head might explode if it gets any bigger" He then pokes Marat's head playfully; "Its inflating by the minute". Xavier is simply thankful that he avoided nomination this week; "As an intruder, I think I was very fortunate to be given the chance to have at least another two weeks in the house. I'm not looking beyond those two weeks at the moment"*
*Monica, meanwhile has joined Kim in trying to put some storylines together for the film, with the deadline now four day away and no progress being made. Another meeting after dinner regarding the task is high jacked by Xavier, who wants to discuss the preferred sexual positions of each of the housemates. Predictably Marat and James are almost able to recite the whole Karma Sutra, as they brag of their sexual exploits. This conversation seems to bring them towards a more common ground; they both love women and sex. Not surprisingly none of the boys are inexperienced, Goran says "its funny how you tell girls you are on the atp.then suddenly they want to jump in bed with you" Xavier and Juan Carlos agree. Of the girls only Martina and Jenn are willing to fess up about their experience, Jenn says that she keeps a kiss list and also a list of all the men she has ever slept with to keep track. Xavier seems excited by Jenn's experience. Martina jokes; "Guys are not the only one's who hunt. I like being the hunter as well." She looks at Juan Carlos seductively. Kim, rolls her eyes at the housemates procrastination*

Tennis Big Brother Written by Jenn & Mags
Days 41 - 50
DAY 41
*Juan Carlos and Martina spent much of the night kissing, giggling and chatting about the state of their relationship. Martina says; "I love the way, you are so unassuming. So many guys like you, are so cocky, you're the real deal". Juan Carlos; "Well, I'd say the same about you but it wouldn't be true. But hey, I love feisty girls" Martina laughs, and they roll playfully around on the bed*
*Monica decides to dedicate the early morning to her fitness regime, as she runs several laps around the big brother garden*
*James who brought boxing gloves into the house, gets Justine to don them and use his abs as a punching board. "We can have some fun with this" he says. He tenses and tells Justine to hit him as hard as she can. As she continues to hit him until she goes red in the face, he doesn't even flinch; "That's what you call, abs of steel" he says. Marat, Juan Carlos and Goran are becoming infuriated by his cockiness. Marat decides to teach him a lesson; "You know what. How about you try taking the punches of a real man?". James doesn't shirk the task, challenging; "Go ahead take your best shot". Justine offers Marat the gloves, but Marat discards them. Then throws all his body weight into punching James's stomach. James braces himself but remains unmoved. Marat jumps up and down, having hurt is hand. James smiles at Justine who giggles. Juan Carlos and Goran offer no comfort; "it seems" Goran quips, "that you punch like a little girl" The two burst out laughing. Marat's hand soon recovers, but his giant ego takes a more lasting bruising*
*In regards to this weeks task, the housemates are struggling with only two days to produce the film from scratch. Kim and Martina have worked hard on creating a story board, detailing the different scenes of the film. Kim, who has dedicated herslef to making a difference in the house this week, has thought up a marvellous storyline. Martina and Kim had asked Jenn to help them with their task but she was defiant; "i'm strictly an on screen star, no donkey work for me". The two girls laugh and chuckle, bonding, while they produce the story board. Kim says; I feel like with this task, I can make such a contribution to the house". The two then fall into a conversation about egos in the house; "Its so funny seeing the way everyone stamps their territory" says Martina, "Some people in here think they are invincible, its scary. Once their was a time, when I thought that. But you live and learn." Kim agrees; "When we first came into the house, I thought maybe their wasn't enough room in this house for everyone. I mean their heads are so big!". They laugh. For Kim, this is another important step in rebuilding her place in the house, especially after her recent connection with Marat. Meanwhile, Martina is quikcly becoming the most agreeable person in the house - except in the case of James of course.*
*Jenn meanwhile has slipped out to the pool with Xavier and they are discussing the pressures of being in the house, particularly on relationships; "You know, like, sometimes i think maybe I shouldn't say this or that for the sake of what people are gonna think of me. But I gave up that strategy in the first week. This is who I am, I don't give a f*** anymore!". Mindful not to become "pussy whipped" as Marat had phrased it, Xavier asks whether in the real world their relationship would be progressing faster. Jenn is playful, she runs a hand along Xavier's hairy chest and stomach; "Well I love a smooth body, you'd have to wax it. " Xavier laughs "You think I should wax it?". Jenn justifies, what is essentially a selfish request by posing it as a benefit for the household; "Well, if you are gonna appear on camera, you should looks more like a clean, hollywood hunk" They both laugh, and Jenn kisses him playfully.*
*In the afternoon, Martina and Kim reveal their storyboard to the household. It begins with in the living room with a dinner party (10 mins) between 10 supposed friends. One of the rich male friends, the host of the dinner is terminally ill, has no family and reveals that he is planning to divide his money equally between the 9 other friends. The other 9 dinner guests, act taken aback at first but once the host has retired ill to his boudoir the housemates separate and their true greed is revealed - they want the inheritance to themselves (20 mins). Each of the 9 housemates has a personality trait; a femme fatale, a casanova, a gay guy, a business woman, a model, a lawyer, the hypochondriac, the chef and the diplomat. The night turns sour, when members of the household begin to be murdered one by one. (30 mins). It turns out that it was the lawyer has been committing all the murders, but the femme fatale has come to realise his murderess ways and they meet in a confrontation that she wins. Just when we think good has triumphed over evil, she shoots the host - thus gaining the inheritance solely to herself. (10 mins)*
*The housemates greet the presentation with open arms. But typically they soon descend into an argument over the allocation of roles. Jenn feels the role of the femme fatale is tailor made for her, but Monica feels that she too could carry it off, as does Justine. Jenn gets bitchy; "We need a girl, who is comfortable wearing little and who can look good in it" Justine is snide; "Looks have nothing to do with whether you can act - I mean, you really need talent and intelligence". Jenn quips; "The role of the business woman is much more appropriate for you, like, you can act butch!". Monica interjects; "Real life personalities have nothing to do with the ability to take on someone elses character. If you want to prove what a good actress you are, then you should play the diplomat, Jenn!" Juan Carlos is prepared to take the role of the victim, but the other male roles are in dispute. Marat wants to play the Casanova, as does James. James snaps; "I think I proved this morning, I am the only real man in the house!". Xavier is happy to play the gay guy, but Jenn is not happy with it as she wants him as a love interest, plus it leaves Goran as the lawyer - an oxymoron. Kim has decided to play the hypochondriac and Martina the model. The housemates bicker well into the night. Martina turns to Kim, who is shaking her head; "I think we may be on rations again next week"*
DAY 42
*In the battle for roles, Monica is the first to buckle, begrudgingly taking the role of the hypochondriac. But Justine is refusing to allow Jennifer to have her way with regards to the premier female role. And the boys are still incapable of agreeing on their roles. In the morning, Martina calls a crisis meeting of the housemates, knowing that the production must at least be initiated today. Kim proposes that all the housemates vying for the disputed roles should audition to the housemates who already have their roles. These housemates (Martina, Monica, Kim and Juan Carlos) would then cast their vote for whom they believe to be most appropriate for the role. James doesn't like the idea, Marat takes this opportunity to take a swipe at James; "Funny for such a patriotic American as you, to not believe in the basic democracy. I guess you realise you can't win against the real hunk of the house." James sees red "Fine, I'm always up for a challenge!". Goran bumps Xavier; "This ought to be interesting"*
*The girls are up first. Jenn is superbly seductive in her audition. The four judges clap. Even Goran gives an approving whistle. Xavier is drooling, and thinks maybe a chest wax wouldn't be that bad after all. By most accounts, Jenn outperformed Justine and when four of the four judges nominate her as their choice, it looks like she is on her way to becoming the star of the show. Then Justine, for the first time in the house spits the dummy, claiming bias on the part of the judges, given that 3 out of the 4 judges were very good friends with Jennifer. "For sure, this is not fair!" she exclaims. James agrees with her and both claim this whole process has been illegitimate.*
*Wanting to end this argument quickly, Monica takes charge telling the other housemates that with time running out, all the housemates must now draw lots in order to decide the who gets which role. It's the only fair way; if some people are going to be unhappy, then everyone may as well be. Plus she tells Martina; "I couldn't bear another week of rations" The outcome is both amusing and hopeless for the housemates;
* Justine wins the femme fatale role and will play opposite Marat who gets the Casanova role. * James gets the part of the gay bloke and is not to happy about this either. Of course this is much to the amusement of Marat and Goran; "Now I know why you are always showing off. Silly me, I didn't realise you were hitting on me the whole time" * Jenn is the chef and Goran insists that she actually cooks a meal to get into the part. * Kim wins the model role - but isn't too keen on wearing very little so insists she is a hand model instead. * Monica get the role of the diplomat. * Martina the role of astute business woman. * Xavier the hypochodriac * Juan Calros the murderess Lawyer *Goran gets the role of the host (patient).
* Although everyone accepts their parts, the arguing and backstabbing continues. The only ones who seem to be enjoying their role are Marat and Goran. Goran quips "some people have said that they would love to ring my neck - now someone gets the chance".
* James protests that his image may be in question if he plays the part of a gay man, while Jenn is not happy at being the domestic help. As Kim isn't keen on showing "too much skin" Jenn offers to swap roles, but Kim is quick to see Jenn's game and answers back firmly "No thank you - I can be a hand model". Marat backs Kim up by saying "Yes....and what beautiful hands you have too". Kim blushes!.
* Housemates go off in various directions to practice their roles. James is not happy with Marat's insistance on practising kissing scenes with Justine. Juan spotting James' rising anger says to Goran "Just how many times is Marat going to practice the kissing scene with Justine?". Goran laughs and says "Until James blows his top.....the funny thing is there aren't any kissing scenes in the bloody script anyway!". Xavier then says "It is a shame there wasn't a stripper in the play - Jenn would have practiced that day and night!". Goran answers "Do you think we could change the script?" and the guys then break into their usual guy group laugh!.*
* The housemates practice well into the late afternoon, but the mumbling from Jenn continues as she tries to get more lines and James tries to get the gay role changed to ' a guy who is in touch with his feminine side' . However Marat is having none of it as he says "the script stays as it is....I mean if we can change the script then I certainly want more kissing scenes and I want to be able to bed Justine more than once". The tension rises as James stares at Marat and Marat returns the stare in kind, eventually walking off saying "I have to go and practice my kissing scene again...come on Justine".
*The housemates finally gather to produce the first dinner party scene. It surprisingly runs quite well, but it was also the least difficult of all the scenes. After Goran leaves the scene, in accordance with his role, the camera shoot turns to disaster, with the housemates continuing to bicker over the appropriateness of their roles. Justine is simply not a convincing femme fatale, snipes Jenn. Perhaps she is right, seeing that Juju is insisting on wearing track pants. James is unwilling to act as "camp" as his role requires him to be. Marat just want to kiss as many girls as he can. Martina has spiced up her roll with a tight mini skirt, however inappropriate. Kim is beginning to feel that even being a hand model is too revealing. Monica turns to Juan Carlos, the only housemate who is getting appropriately into character, and says "I am beginning to regret this!".*
*Amidst all the confusion, Marat has been watching the Jenn/Juju fight with interest and is turned on. Out of the blue, somewhat impulsively, Marat grabs Jennifer and gives her a long passionate kiss. She doesn't pull away, this is igniting all the passion of the first week in the house. When they finally pull away Jenn asks; "What was that?" Marat replies; "I was just getting into my roll" But is that all that it was?*
*The bulk of the production will go into what should prove a long and tense day in the house....*
DAY 43
*Monica had secretly set her alarm, after production had ground to halt just before midnight. She sets it for 5 am. The alarm rings at this ungodly hour unsettling the household. Marat cries; "What the f*** is that?". Monica then sets about waking the household, reminding them that they have but 13 hours to meet the 6 pm deadline. Inevitably the housemates moan and complain but by 6 am they are all out of bed and ready to continue the shoot. The day is best broken up, hour by hour.
7 AM *The housemates bicker over the order that they should die. Obviously nobody wants to be the first, thus minimising their time on camera. Juju, still reeling after Jenn's criticism of her acting spat "I think Jenn should go first....after all her cooking is enough to kill anyone". Jenn replied "I think it should be done by ranking....are you in the top 10 Juju?". Justine is defiant; "fortunately I won the role of the femme fatale, I HAVE to be in until the end. That's the script honey". Jenn pouts. Meanwhile, James wanting to minimise Marat's kissing time with Juju said, I think the Casanova should go first....after all he wouldn't be popular with the men so it would make sense that someone would want to KNOCK HIS BLOCK OFF". James' tone raised eyebrows as well as the tension in the house and Marat sniped back "Why don't you go first...then you can go and play by yourself...like you always do! ". Kim giggled at Marat's implication, and Marat grinned at her causing Kim to blush. Monica fitting into her role as a diplomat steps in once more to ease tensions saying "Ok, it is back to drawing lots again". No one liked it, but everyone agreed. Monica then said "Now back to production".*
8 AM *As day breaks, the scenes are finally beginning to be filmed. The curtains are drawn and candles lit to give a night-time effect. Jenn has insisted on spicing up her chef's role by wearing a skimpy midriff top with tight leather pants. A scene is filmed where the chef (jenn), the hypochondriac (Xavier) and the Gay Guy (James) are revealing their true intentions. Xavier seems to be throwing himself into his role, he cuddles up to Jenn "I have a head ache, I think I'm ill". Jenn as the chef kisses him on the forehead and rubs his chest; "I'll make you a nice cup of brazillian tea, my scpeciality". A CUT is called. "Perfect" says Kim. Monica drew the short lot and was to be killed first. She has a short scene where she retires to the bathroom, after attempting to get the model (kim) and the businesswoman (Martina), to see past their selfish motives for furthering the career "I can't wait until the weakling dies" says Martina from under her glasses. CUT. Another scene is shot in which the Casanova emerges from the bathroom, declaring the first murder. One murder down, 8 to go!*
9 AM A break for breakfast and Marat has returned to pursuing a kissing scene with Justine, even if it is not mentioned anywhere in the script. "Obviously, you will have to wear something appropriate for the bed scene, but don't worry we will be under the covers so nothing will be shown" . Justine to Marat's surprise replied "Ok, let me just go and change". Goran and the other guys including James watched as Justine headed off to the bedroom. They guys couldn't belive what they thought they were about to see - was Marat about to get into bed with pure and simple Juju wearing a sexy lingerie number?. Marat turned and grinned to James saying "don't worry, we will film the scene in a closed set".
The bedroom door opened and Juju shouted "I am ready", causing the guys to rush to the door. Goran being the first to enter could not believe his eyes when he saw Juju standing there.... in a pair of workmans overalls!. Marat shouted "What the hell are those?". Juju was confused by Marat's question, but Goran quickly quipped "I think they are known as industrial strength overalls" and burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter, quickly followed by the others. Juju replied innocently "I thought as no one would know what we were wearing that I could wear these". James pleased that Marat's plan had backfired and by Juju's innocence said "and very nice overalls they are too". While laughter reverberated around him Marat stood shocked and after some prodding from Goran joined in the laughter too.*
10 AM *Returning to filming, The next scene involves the housemates gathering around realising there is a murderer in their midst. The lawyer (Juan Carlos) suggests that they do not tell the patient as it could cause him undue stress. James is to go next and he appears pleased to be out of the film, not having to act "camp" anymore. The Casanova (marat) is sidling up to the model (kim). "You know I always admired a girl who does her best work with her hands!" Kim is still not comfortable in her role "Yes I give a good back massage". The Casanova leans across, "You have very beautiful eyes". Kim blushes. Is art imitating life? James can now go back to what he is best at; heckling. Justine has her first solo role in the film as she attempts to act frail and seductive while announcing the second murder. Jenn roles her eyes at Juju's vain attempt*
11 AM *As if finally acting out of will for the household instead of herself, Jenn pulls Justine aside and tells her straight out what she is doing wrong. "You cannot expect to attract one of Sports Illustrated's 10 sexiest men in the world in a pair of overalls. I am going to give you a makeover. For the good of us all, like, you definitely need one." The guys are all in excited anticipation of what Jenn and Justine are talking about; "We might get a cat fight!" says Goran "Roar" says Marat. The guys all erupt laughing. Their laughs turn to expressions of shock as Jenn emerges from the bedroom, presenting Justine, 'The girl just became a woman". Justine emerges in full makeup, clad in one of Jenn's raunchy red dresses. Marat jokes to Juan Carlos; "Now, I definitely need more of those kissing scenes!" Jennifer snipes to Martina and Monica; "That took, like, all my energy to help her. Don't anyone ever say, you know, that I am not, like, a team player"*
12 PM *In the next scene, the lights are to go off with all the housemates now fearful for their lives. The hypochondriac cries; "We are all going to die" Marat lets off two party poppers to replicate gun shots. When the candles are relit, by the femme fatale and the model, two more dinner guests are dead - the chef, Jenn, who begrudgingly forfeits her place in the limelight and the business woman Martina. Jenn is still bitter, telling Justine; "You better do a good job honey, or you are a dead woman". Monica is thrilled with the progress and the relative calm of the household, telling Kim; "Cross your fingers, so far, so good!"*
1 PM Resuming from a lunch break the housemates shoot two more scenes. The hypochondriac, unable to handle the pressure cries "I think I'm having a heart attack". The femme fatale offers him a drink, that is sitting on the coffee table, of unexplained origins. Justine, drawing upon all her reserves to act seductively emulating Jenn's husky voice; "Why don't you have a drink honey". Xavier takes a sip and collapses on the floor. Kim finally getting into the essence of her role says; "Oh no, he did have a heart attack. I definitely need a drink" She takes his glass. Justine screams "The drink is spiked" Kim pretending to act airheaded, replies "Oh pine flavour yum". She drinks and collapses. Even Jenn has to compliment Justine, albeit backhandedly; "That's a better performance, but can you keep it up? You certainly don't stay consistent on the court"*
2 PM *Marat sees his opportunity to finally get an on camera kissing scene with Justine, and she is now acting freely in her role. There are now only four people left in the film, the lawyer (murderer), the femme fatale, the Casanova and the patient. The Casanova, says to the femme fatale; "We must stay together now" She says seductively, right to his face "And how do I know that you are not the murderer?" Marat says, in the manner of a true melodrama; "Could a murderer kiss like this?" They engage in a long passionate kiss. The whole household watches in awe. Jenn is nostalgic; "He sure can kiss!" Xavier is not pleased by these comments*
3 PM *With the film on schedule the housemates take a quick tea break in the afternoon. Juan Carlos is relishing his roll, as the outsider. He tells Martina after the other two have shot their passionate scene; "Tonight that will be us in real life, not fantasy. In this house we are the Romeo and Juliet. Seeing you in that short skirt before, well lets just say I was thinking some thoughts that were not quite legal". Martina smiles a randy smile as Juan Carlos prepares for the climatic scene; "Now go kill them my love". Xavier, Goran and Marat head outside to shoot some basketball hoops. Xavier asks Marat whether he had an erection during the scene with Justine. Marat laughs; "Of course. I'm always ready for a bit of the old action". Goran Laughs. Marat feels he now has all the girls in the house at his beckon call "I could have any one of them, anytime I want!" This only compounds Xavier's doubts about Jennifer's commitment to him. Justine ahs spent the whole time convincing James that nothing could ever happen between her and Marat*
4PM *The housemates gather in the bedroom and shoot the final scene. The united Casanova and fatale have worked out that the murderer must be the lawyer, and they confront him in the bedroom, where he ends up shooting the Casanova. Justine then has to call on all her feminine wiles to put in the most seductive performance of the film and convince the lawyer she is on his side; "I love strong men!" she whispers, shaking off the death of the Casanova. She then seduces the lawyer telling him, "We can share the money together forever!" Just as they are about to kiss, she slips out a pocket knife and stabs him. He collapses. Justine whispers; "Men..so gullible" as she stabs the sleeping patient (goran) through the heart "As if I would ever share the money with him" She cackles. Monica calls "CUT!!!!! That's a take!"*
5PM *Monica takes the tape to Big Brother, for editing before Saturday morning's official screening and awards presentation. All the other housemates have gathered, especially congratulating Justine on her performance. Finally Jenn is satisfied; "You did it girl. Well done!" and hugs her.*
*After dinner, Big Brother announces that they have officially passed this week's task. All the housemates, clap hands, whistle and jeer, high fives all around. A gruelling schedule, combined with a lot of commitment and teamwork had seen them through today. Nevertheless, one of them will go tomorrow, and that setting unnerves the housemates. For the first time, the intruders are feeling a real sense of camaraderie and Justine bemoans her possible eviction; "I am just an ordinary girl up against a funny guy and a hunk, how can I survive?" Martina and Kim are dismissive of this idea "Today you proved that you are much more than ordinary" The boys all whistle. James is even loosening up for the night, proposing that him and Martina bury the hatchet; "You know I'm not a bad guy. I think we got off on the wrong foot. I don't want to leave the house with this hanging over my head!". Martina agrees with him and hugs him. New friends Kim and Marat have slipped out to the garden to star gaze in the chicken coop. Jenn invites Xavier to take a late night dip with her and they too slip off. James and Justine decide to hit the sack early, for the big day ahead. This leaves Martina, Juan Carlos, Goran and Monica on the sofa, the four discuss the possibility of more surprises, like intruders, in the house; Goran quips "What will be a real surprise is if I don't go tomorrow. A f*** witt like me surviving three nominations? No way!" The other three laugh. Martina can't wait for the screening tomorrow; "It will be so weird to see us all on camera, it will be a huge laugh"*

DAY 44
*With the eviction imminent Big Brother has outlined a hectic schedule for the housemates today. The nominated housemates must have their bags packed and their video will made by the early afternoon, for the screening of the movie. Awards will then be presented and of course the eviction looms later on in the evening*
*Marat helps Goran pack his bags for the third time in six weeks. Goran laments; "If I go today, I'm gonna have to go out into the world wearing these tops that are three times to small for me. Its a joke". Marat laughs; "You've been on camera wearing them all week. It won't make much of a difference. But you do look like an idiot". "Don't laugh too hard" says Goran, "Yours are the same!" They both agree that they defintiely have to get Serena when they get out of the house.*
*James and Justine, experiencing the possibility of eviction for first time spend the early morning together packing their bags. They have a conversation with Xavier about being intruders and how the whole experience is different for them; "This is a first time for us," James comments. The other housemates don't realise how difficult it is for us! They probably don't even remember their first nominations.". Justine agrees. Xavier says that they are lucky to have eachother; "When I eventually get my first nomination I won't have anyone at all to experience it with me!".*
*After they have made their video wills, Justine and James decide to clear their heads over a game of chess. Kim is helping Justine with her strategy. Justine back in her track suit, comments on how fun the acting task was; "Even if I leave today, I got to explore myself with that role yesterday. For sure, that is a once in a lifetime experience. It has helped me realise I can do alot of things when I put my mind to it. Plus I have realised how comfortable these clothes are". James laughs; "That sure is my Justine!". Kim giggles; "I must be honest I didn't think you could pulll it off. I thought you were too normal, to play such a raunchy role. But you proved that normal can be sexy! It has been so great having you in the house. With all the prima donnas in here!"*
*Jenn and Martina are outside sun baking and discussing their return to the tour and their one major goal, Jennifer's is to finally beat Venus, Martina want Roland Garros. Jenn also tells Martina that while she really likes Xavier, she can't help her attraction to Marat, and she has no idea what to do. They have been joined by Monica who thinks that her fitness regime has helped her drop a few kilos*
*All the housemates gather after lunch for the official screening of their film on the plasma screen. Big Brother calls Martina to the store room. She returns with chocolates, ice creams, pop corn and lollies; Big Brother's reward for completing this weeks task.*
*The movie has its highs and lows and the housemates are able to enjoy a good old giggle at their own expense. Martina laughs at the sight of herslef acting business like. Kim blushes when she sees her very romantic scene with Marat early in the film, and all the housemates, tease her. Goran laughs at seeing himself act so sullen and fragile; "I think I should win the best actor award for lying down on the bed so well. That is great acting". Jenn still thinks she needed more lines to encapsulate her character. Everyone agrees Xavier is by far the most convincing (and hilarious) in his role at the hypochondriac. When the Marat/Justine kissing scene comes up, Juan Carlos jokes to James; "You better look away now!" James smirks; "No I want to see this!". Marat giggles as he sees himself kissing her; "Do I really look like that when I kiss? I look like I'm eating her face off!". Jenn jokes; "It might not look great, but it feels great!". Her and Marat exchange unsure glances. Monica laughs at the whole scene. Jenn who is sitting on Xavier's lap pashes him, as if to remind herself of who she is in a relationship with presently*
*After the final scene, the housemates clap their own handy work again. Then it is time for the awards. Big Brother calls Marat to the store room to pick up the trophies. The housemates all cast their votes for whom they believe to be the winner for each category. Justine wins the Best Actress Trophy, and thanks Jenn for all her help. Jenn grins. She dedicates the award to her mother and says; "Well its not a grand slam, but it is very nice to be recognised by your peers". Xavier wins best actor, and he tells all the housemates that he wants to rock on all night! Kim wins the award for script writing and says; "This week has meant so much to me. iT has opened doors. I felt like I really contributed, I belonged to the whole group for the first time in this house!" Monica gets the award for producer/director; "I guess it pays off sometimes to be a bossy boots" and then as if trying to guard herslef from nomination; "You know, everything I do in here, even if i seem a bit of a control freak is for the good of the group. I guess this award show that you all understand that!". Martina who had set the scene with candles and drawn curtains was awarded set design; "They say I am very inventive on the court. Well I had to be inventive to come up with a decent set from the materials we got". James gets the lemon award for worst actor; 'Well at least if I leave tonight I will take a prize from this house." He shows that his character has defintiely loosened up "Gee I was shit wasn't I?" He laughs as do all the other housemates.*
*All this leaves the scene set for the sixth eviction of the Big Brother melodrama. Who will go next?* DAY 45
*With James gone, Justine has lost one of her best, if not her best friend in the house. Luckily she has Kim, to comfort her. It seems that the two friends have gone full circle; two weeks ago it was Justine comforting Kim over lleyton's departure, now it was Kim who seemed to have it together and was comforting an increasingly emotional Justine. Kim says; "Juju, this house is full of ups and downs. I know it feels bad now, but it will take a turn for the better in the near future. Look at me. I could never imagine I'd be this happy without him (lleyton)"*
*Jenn and Martina have convinced Xavier to wax his chest. He immediately regrets it when he sees them heating the wax. "That's going to hurt isn't it?" he says naively. "Not at all" says Martina as Jenn begins to pour that hot wax onto xavier's chest. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Xavier Screams as the wax hit his chest. All the other housemates rush into the living room and witness the scene. Marat and Goran crack up laughing, Xavier is flat on his back yelling, while Martina and Jenn are leaning over him, giggling and trying to get him to calm down. Marat, who seems to have returned to his all confident self after James' eviction, shouts; "Come on Xaxier, take it like a man!". Xavier is wincing in pain. Jenn quips devilishly as she places a strip on his chest; "You haven't had the worst yet!" Martina giggles. Juan Carlos is looking to get a better view of the action, and eggs Jenn on: "Rip it off" he yells. Kim and Justine can't stop laughing, and all the housemates begin to chant "rip it off!". Jenn rips the strip off, and Xavier yells "Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttt t!". On the underside their is a clump of hair. Under much more coaxing from the housemates, Xavier goes through the entire procedure, until his chest is entirely smooth. Jenn is randy; "Now that is what I calll a smooth chest." She runs her hand up and down it and then licks it up and down. Xavier tells Juan Carlos later that maybe that was worth all the pain after all*
*Monica and Goran later have a conversation about all the romance in the house; "We are the only people in the house who haven't been involved in some sort of romance!" concludes Goran "Maybe we should get it on" he says Jokingly. Monica giggles, she still has that little crush on Marat that nobody knows about, "I think we are the most sensible. I'm not a prude but this is on national television". Goran agrees; "Although I haven't had any problems flashing my bum in front of the camera so far!" Both laugh.*
*This comic relief of the waxing incident, cannot ease the tension of a new round of nominations. Everyone, bar Xavier has had the misfortune to feel the agony of possible eviction. Will it finally be his week this week?*
DAY 46
*The household is rocked by the nomination bomb. With all the housemates nominated, it unnerves and shakes the household. Will the strategies of the housemates begin to be revealed this week?*
*The housemates gather over breakfast, and talk about this nomination variation. Monica thinks that the system is fair: "I guess, under these conditions, the two least popular housmates will go. I think its probably the fairest set of nominations so far!". Jenn thinks it goes against the principal of the game; "There is only meant to be a ceratin number of nominations, this gives too many choices!". Marat thinks its a great idea; "We get to clear out the dead wood! No more losers!" He laughs as does Goran, they are both extremely optimistic about surviving this eviction, "Although," Goran says, "I believe in omens. I won wimbledon on my fourth try in the final. this is my fourth nomination. Maybe its a sign!" He pretends to act solemn. Marat laughs, "Or maybe not". Goran cracks up. They both do a high five in over-confidence and walk off together to play basketball. Juan Carlos Agrees with them; "Let's not be so morbid about this, its only another nomination week after all". He joins them in their basketball game, leaving Xavier and the five girls pondering the future. Xavier is worried about the fact that this is a first time nomination for him, all the other remaining housemates had survived at least one nomination and knew they were relatively popular - where did that leave him? Martina meanwhile is busy taking a swipe at Marat and Goran's cockiness "It has to be a ploy" she tells the whole group, "They are so playing the game to win. Even if they will not admit it". Jenn Agrees. Monica is still reluctant to say anything controversial, she learnt early on that controversial people=eviciton. Kim and Justine meanwhile have split from the group and Kim is letting Justine on her tactic; "Just go with the flow. That is the best way to survive in this house. Don't let things get to you. Its not just about surviving evictions, its about taking something from the house. You don't get anything from the house is you are always fighting!"*
*Jenn is busy weighing up her own options in her mind, Is a relationship a wise move at this stage, especially with her attraction to Marat being so obvious to the outside observer? In the end she seems to choose the relationship option as Xavier gives her a piggy-back in the afternoon and they kiss and giggle while collecting herbs for tonights dinner*
*Big Brother makes the annoucnement that the Jacuzi is now available each night from 7 PM onwards*
*Justine is still not feeling on top of the world, and has been knocked about by the prospect of a second straight nomination. She retires to the bedroom for an afternoon map. Monica has taken to logging a diary of her time in the house, and she takes the afternoon to add her latest entry*
*Meanwhile Juan Carlos, Marat and Goran who decided to take a dip in the pool after their basketball match have been joined by Martina and Kim. Martina wastes no time getting to the core of what she sees to be a crucial matter; "don't tell me" she says to Goran and Marat, "that you two are not in this for the victory" Kim agrees with her. Marat and Goran laugh, declaring that the thought hadn't even crossed their minds. They then decide to dunk Martina and kim in the water as a punishment for their question. Under water, Marat and Kim come face to face and he gives her a peck on the lips. Of course no-one notices, especially amidst Martina's chastising Juan Carlos for his lack of aid when she was being dunked. "I'll just have to kiss you for that" she says jokingly as she pashes him. Marat meanwhile whispers to Goran; "That's five girls now", referring to the number of girls he had kissed in the house. Goran mutters "You dirty dog!". Kim meanwhile, is feeling that she has been unfaithful, and blushes, heading back to the bedroom!*
*After a wonderful Italian dinner alla Jenn, the housemates are asked to gather in the living room to receive this weeks task. Big Brother tells them that this weeks task is to get to know as much as they possibly can about each of their fellow housemates. There will be a quiz night on Friday in which the most knowledgeable housemate will earn the right to a possession of their choice for the remainder of their time in the Big Brother house. This task, will force the housemates who had not up until this point been that close, to mingle and get to know eachother better. Interesting developments are surely ahead! "this is gonna be easy!" quips goran*
DAY 47
*After yesterday's kiss by Marat, Kim spends much of the morning wracked by guilt. She tells Justine about her dilemma and how she now feels she has been unfaithful to Lleyton. She weeps on Justine's shoulder; "When I came into this house I never thought I'd meet someone who could be such a great companion, like Lleyton was. This just shows that for at least that second, I forgot about him, and that scares me! I am attracted to Marat. But I think that I was falling in love with LLeyton. I am so confused, it would be so much easier if LLeyton was just in the house!" Justine's comfort is no longer hollow; she now knows the feeling of losing a great friend in the house; "We can get through this together. If there is one thing that this house has taught me, it is that having great friends can get you through anything!"*
*Martina meanwhile is determined to win this weeks task and get to know everything about everybody in the house. She grabs Goran and calls him onto the couch. She kisses him on the cheek; "okay, sweetie, we need to get to know eachother better". Goran is reluctant at first but then begins to open up to Martina's frank style and relentless probing; "Well in Croatia, it is of course very difficult whether you win or lose. They definitely are a very fickle people. But that is why I love them; they are split personality like me" Martina giggles; "So have I met the bad Goran yet?". Goran replies; "Of course not, you will know when you meet him. I have renamed him Marat, while I am in the house. He brings out the bad side in me!". Martina logs this information in the back of her head. Goran is on a role now; "There are always wild scenes in Coratia when you lose, I remember some players say that often if you lose you will get death threat notes on your car. They are so crazy" He begins to laugh. Martina is determined to win this quiz*
*Juan Carlos and Xavier are having a heart to heart about nudity in the house. Xavier has yet to strip off in the shower and tells Juan Carlos that until now he feels that everyone is a little more extroverted than him, "Normally I consider myself confident and self assured but in this house it is like there are about 5 other people who are louder, and more willing to be outrageous than me!" Juan Carlos, having spent much of his time in the house "under the radar", knows more than most what Xavier is feeling; "Your confidence will come in good time. It took me about 3 weeks before I felt comfortable enough with the people in here to go naked in the shower. Don't worry, your time will come!" *
*Monica feels it is time to get a little pro-active (again). She is feeling that her exercise regime is paying off and announces to Martina, Jennifer and Justine in the afternoon; "I really want a weight scale if I win this weeks task. The weight has been such a problem for me, and I think I have made such progress in here! I have heard the fat jokes. I don't like them. Well I can laugh at all the doubters now" Martina applauds her for her resolve, saying that she too has been working hard to become a more diplomatic person within the house; "I have learnt a lot about people, what they react to and why they act the way they do. I guess I still haven't mastered the act of being quiet when I don't agree with something. I definitely have to work on that." Monica has set out a diet for the rest of her time in the house to more rigorously control her intake; "Of course I can divert, if we have a big dinner or something". Jennifer tells the other two about her rigorous training regime in Winter 2000; "That was hell, I don't know if I could go through all that again. But, like, I guess it was worth it in the end".*
*Kim meanwhile has retired ritually to the chicken coup. Marat joins her there again in an attempt to explain yesterday's kiss; "You know, I didn't mean to hurt our friendship. It was just on impulse, and I know it was probably stupid, but I couldn't help it" he pauses. Kim says; "Forget about it. I am having my own issues in here at the moment, you just made me realise that I am really missing Lleyton. I don't know what he is doing, he could have moved on with his life.". Marat says: "Well you know I am definitely very sorry for what I did. But also you are very beautiful, not only physically but also in your personality. If he is not waiting for you, then he is a lot stupider than I thought. Kim giggles through teary eyes; "You can be so frustrating, but you are usually very right".*
*After dinner, the housemates decide to use the new privileges with the Jacuzzi to their advantage. Jenn convinces all the other housemates to head out there, most for the first time. Only Juan Carlos and Marat have used the Jacuzzi before. "ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh I love the bubbles" says Monica. Xavier and Jenn are kissing in the corner of the Jacuzzi, Justine is splashing them with water, telling them to "break it up" and giggling. Juan Carlos and Martina are pashing too. Suddenly Xavier is filled with inspiration; "I'm going for a naked run..who is going to join me!" He jumps out of the pool and drops his swim trunks. Marat is not to be outdone and jumps out, as does Goran. The three wet guys run around the back yard stark naked screaming and yelling. Legs, arms (and other bits) flailing. The other housemates are giggling in the water. Juan Carlos calls; "You're gonna freeze your balls off out there" and the five girls think it hilarious. When Xavier returns to the Jacuzzi, Juan Calros says to him; "I guess you feel comfortable now". Xavier grins at him.*
DAY 48
*This weeks nominations continues to affect housemates in different ways. As they are all up for possible eviction, tactics are being brought to the fore, and competitveness is driving their actions. In particular Martina is growing more and more paranoid with regards those she thinks are playing to win. Martina is now convinced, especially after their over eagerness to participate in last nights nude run, that Marat and Goran are working as a team and spends as much time as possible trying to convince her fellow housemates. Martina spits bitterly to Monica and Xavier "Marat and Goran are manipulating everyone in this house....can't the rest of you see it?. Goran tries to make everyone like him by playing stupid jokes and Marat thinks he can strip any girl of their knickers in 10 minutes flat." Martina's obsession with winning causes concern amongst the other housemates but oblivious to this she continues in full bitching mode to have a go at the 'Kim and Juju' partnership. "Those two are playing to win by going for the sweet and innocent routine...I can't believe the public can't see what is going on." Monica fully aware that the public sees and hears everything doesn't respond to Martina's rant and decides the best policy of survival is to distance herself from 'Moany Martina'.
* Jenn has decided that having a relationship would improve her chances of staying in the house, "like you know the public will keep me in to see how things develop", she confides to Monica. While Jenn's real interest is in Marat she believes Xavier is easier to control and manipulate thus spends her time seducing him with her wardrobe of skimpy clothes that leave nothing to the imagination, telling Monica "I can play him like a fiddle". Xavier, totally ignorant of Jenn's real intention is happy in the false belief that he has beat Marat in this love match.*
* Kim's mind again is wondering to the outside world, suddenly she feels very uneasy. "I don't know what to say now. If Lleyton was here I would jump in his arms striaght away...but marat is such a nice guy and very attractive, and he is a strong man. I must look like a girl who can't do without a man, but I can't help it". Juju concerned for her friend's integrity advises "Marat is a playboy through and through....if you find yourself weakening for him I can borrow you my overalls, I have the blue and the green"*
* Marat and Goran are aware of Martina's rantings about them and Marat is increasingly irritated by her. "Martina used to be a cool chick, but I think now, the house is sending her batty. She is very consumed with the whole winning thing and Goran laughs "lets face it, everyone in here has a tactic and I have figured them all out -
"Divide and conquer tactic - get everyone on your side and against the ones who you feel are the main competiton. Martina is using this tactic". Marat nods his head and says "for sure" causing them both to laugh."
"Sexual healing tactic - use your body to minimise your nominations and maximise trouble with the other female housemates. Jenn has used this tactic time and time again - first you, then James and now Xavier. "
"Fade into the background tactic- Don't upset anyone or do anything outrageous in the hope that you go unnoticed at nominations. Juan Carlos, Xavier, Kim and Juju are all in here"
"Third is the Mother replacement tactic - We all need a mother, so by playing this role you make yourself indesposible. Monica is trying this route."
Marat then asks Goran "What about you and I, what tactic are we using?". Goran quips "We are using the G.F.A.L tactic" . Marat looks confused and says "Ha?". Goran replies "The good for a laugh tactic.", causing both to laugh. Marat agrees with his good friends and Goran says "watch the housemates this week and you will see that I am right".
*The remainder of the day is spent lazying around and bitching, but as midnight draws near the housemates hear a commotion on the other side of the wall. A newspaper is thrown over the wall and Juan Carlos sprints to the first communication with the outside world the housemates have had since the whole game began. Juan Carlos turns to the backpage of the newspaper and reads out to the housemates the main headline "Lleyton Hewitt .....
*Sorry guys but it is midnight....have to wait until tomorrow*

DAY 49
* Juan Carlos reads out the headline "Lleyton Hewitt says he has found true love with fellow Australian sportswoman......". Realising what he had just said Juan's voice trails off as the housemates stand in stunned silence staring at Kim. Goran quickly grabs the newspaper and aims to throw it back over the wall when Kim finds her voice and shouts "No...I want to read the story". Juju puts her arm around her friend and says "Do not read it.... you know what journalists are like". Juju's attempt to dismiss the headline is joined by Marat "This is probably a stunt by one of those shitty tabloids. Those guys wouldn't know the truth if it hit them in the face. I should know - according to them I am a playboy more interested in blondes than tennis!" . Monica then rallies to the cause adding "The sportswoman is probably his sister....you know how out of context these journalists take things". However none of these soothing words stop the tears from welling up in Kim's eyes and flowing down her cheek. Feeling totally humiliated, Kim grabs the newspaper from Goran and runs off saying "Excuse me, but I must read this by myself".
* After the initial shock of the headline and sympathy for Kim, Martina's obsession with winning raises it's head again as she say lets slip, she seems to be becoming neurotic in her demeanor; "I bet that will win her lots of sympathy from the public....you can guarantee that she won't be going this week". Filled with rage at Martina's callous comments Juju looses her cool for the first time in the house, steps into Martina's face and says "I can honestly say you are the most pathetic, ignorant and uncaring person I have ever met and if I wasn't such a lady I would punch you in the face... all of them ". Martina still obsessed with public perception is quick to retort "Careful your halo is slipping, just think what the public would make of your threats of violence!". Juju snaps "Martina no one else cares about winning at a moment like this and if you don't go on Saturday then I will as I don't wish to live in the house with you any more". Martina just can't let go and says "Saying that is just a way of getting to vote against me...well the public knows whats what ". After 7 weeks in the house has martina finally lost it?*
* While Martina and Juju continue their heavy weight slanging match, Kim sits in the bedroom reading the article -
Lleyton Hewitt says he has found true love with fellow Australian Sportswomen
"Today the Australian Tribune can reveal that World Number 1 Lleyton Hewitt is seeing fellow Australian sportswomen Kate Smith. The two have been seen in and around Australia's top restaurants and are said to be considering getting engaged in the near future. Hewitt a housemate in the ATP/WTA Big Brother program was thought to be in a long term relationship with Kim Clisters a fellow housemate, but since his eviction Lleyton has met and fallen in love with Kate. Asked about his relationship with Kim, Lleyton was quoted as saying "The BB house is an artificial environment where you cannot really develop a relationship. Since being evicted I have come to realise that my feelings for Kim were due to the pressure of the BB environment. Also I have seen bits of the show and it is clear that Kim has her eyes on Marat Safin. I have seen that kiss in the pool and I must say Kim wasn't exactly fighting him off. She has moved on, so must I". When a reporter pointed out to Lleyton that he had been seen out and about with Kate Smith before Kim's kiss with Marat and so wasn't he being a little two faced, Hewitt said he had nothing further to say on the issue.
* Marat knocks on the door and enters the bedroom and finds Kim sobbing uncontrollably. Kim is simply stunned by Lleyton's comments and lays her head on Marat's shoulder as she says "How could he ....how could he". Marat tells her "I don't know what the paper says, but all I know is that Lleyton is a shit and a fool. If you were my girl, I wouldn't cheat on you ever...you are one classy lady. I still can't help but feel that somehow this is all my fault!". Marat puts his arm around Kim and comforts her. Embarrassed, Kim holds the newpaper very tight as the two fall asleep in eachother's arms.*
*It is 3 AM before the dust finally settles and all the housemates fall asleep with much to be resolved in the morning*
* At 9 AM Big Brother awakens the housemates somewhat rudely with his calling of Jenn to the diary room and requests that the newspaper be returned without any other housemate reading it. He is reacting to the crisis; this risks jeopardizing the integrity of the whole game. BB informs Jenn "Anyone found to be reading the newspaper will be given a warning". Jenn goes to the bedroom, and explains to the sleepy Kim that she has to take the newspaper, but Kim has her head in Marat sizeable chest and simply nods her head to show she understands*
*Goran is even stunned by the revelation, not even he can see the funny side of this situation. He seems to be shaken up by the whole incident and sits out on the verandah in the morning sun stoney faced. For him this has brought the serenity of the whole experience undone. Monica is with him and he tells her; "This sort of makes everything in here fake. They seemed to be so in love. And yet look what has happened now. Nothing in here is real" Monica nods in appreciation of his view.*
* The other housemates while having sympathy for Kim cannot ignore human nature and want to read the juicy gossip in the article. On her way to the diary room to give back the newspaper, Jenn makes a detour to the toilet - the one place she knows she is not filmed and takes the relevant pages from the newspaper and slides it down the front of her bra. Jenn then proceeds to the diary room and leaves the newspaper on the BB chair.*
* Jenn is fully aware that it is only a matter of time before BB realises what she has done, so she returns to the toilet (the cameras are still visible in the bathroom)and reads the article, she hides the newspaper in the pot beside the toilet that holds fresh toilet rolls. Jenn then returns to her other housemates and while whispering sweet nothings into Xavier's ear informs him that "you must go and read the story...quick before they get it...that Lleyton is one real git". Xavier excuses himself and rushes to the toilet to read the article and on his return whispers to Juan Carlos that perhaps he should pay a trip to the bathroom and "replace the toilet roll". Juan Carlos is confused by Xavier's advice, but goes to the toilet anyway, looks in the pot and although he feels guilty for doing so, can't help but read the article. Juan Carlos then comes back out and says to Jenn "Should we tell the others - I don't think Juju and Monica would approve, and I don't know about Goran either, he seems really weird since all this happened. As for Martina, I am very worried about her and I don't think she needs any more fuel to her fire". Jenn agrees, promising that she will soon have a chat with her great friend, and see what is happening with her. Jenn, Xavier and Juan Carlos agree that they shouldn't tell the others and agree that they should flush the said article down the loo.*
* For the rest of the day the housemates spend time quietly conversating with each other. Martina has managed to isolate herself from the other housemates, and while she feels repentant for her outburst, she still cannot shake the idea of a conspiracy " Listen...I feel sorry for the girl, I know it must be difficult for her, but life goes on. Now she is going for the sympathy vote. The way I acted last night was inapropriate but I can't help but think that she and Lleyton set this up and are using it as a trump card to keep her in the house. It has to be a plot". Monica remains silent as she begins to have serious concerns for Martina's mental state. Juan Carlos, Jenn and Xavier discuss all aspects of their forbidden reading matter, but are careful not to let their fellow housemates know they have read the article.*
* Marat and Kim spend the remainder of the day inside the bedroom talking and are later joined by the other housemates for any early night. Kim sleeps in Marat's arm where she feels comfortable and secure. Juan Calros and Martina cuddle but don't talk, Martina is unstable to say the least. A tear runs down her cheek during the night*
* As everyone falls asleep something has been forgotten. Due to their inability to stop gossiping Juan Carlos, Jenn and Xavier have forgotten to flush the newspaper down the toilet and there it remains................*
DAY 50
*Martina wakes early and takes a solitary swim up and down the pool in an effort to clear her head. No-one notices her slip out of the bedroom, except Jenn, who slinks out behind her and watches her sit out in the dawn sun shaking after her swim. Jenn makes them both a cup of warm coffee and then heads out to talk to her friend. "Are you okay?" Jenn asks. Martina replies vacantly; "I'm fine". Jenn is gentle but probing; "I have seen the change in you this week Marti, there is something wrong with you, this weeks nominations have effected us all in different ways. It has really shaken you up. We are all here for you!" Martina is defiant, she says shakily "But everyone is playing to win, its so fake, people should just be themselves." Jenn replies; "Listen to the sound of your voice, you've lost you way!". Martina breaks down; "It just isn't fair anymore!" Jenn replies; "what's not fair?" Martina cries saying softly: "This game, its not fair, its not fair!" She weeps into Jenn's bosom*
*Kim has been refusing to talk to anyone else, bar Marat, regarding the details of the article, and she feels at least that her embarrassment has been slightly minimised. She weeps to Marat; "You know I have been such a fool.. I am a virgin..I have never had my heart broken before..I don't think I have been in love before. I was in love with him." Marat is surprisingly sensitive, "Well in a way I feel too that I am a virgin. I have never been in love. I have, what you would call a 'virgin heart'. I can't imagine how you feel, but I know how I would feel; awful"*
*Martina enters the living room, after agreeing with Jenn that she would go and see the Big Brother Psychiatrist, she first wishes to take a quick trip to the toilet. By this time Juan Carlos, Goran and Monica are awake and are discussing the state of the household. Goran is seemingly back to his old jovial self and he cheers Monica and Juan Carlos up with some jokes, but he still believes that this weeks evictions will have major ramifications for the household; "Tomorrow two more of us will be gone, depending on who goes, the house will not be the same. Every week, the house has taken on a new dimension because of the people who have gone. It is such a roller coaster." Monica agrees and is impressed by Goran's new insights; "You can say that again. You know this week has really brought out the best in you" Goran laughs; "Every week, I get better in this house, while everyone else is getting worse. At this rate I will be a saint by the end of the series. Its like a miracle" Juan Carlos is even more tight-lipped than usual; tense about his secret, Goran picks up on this and quips; "I know that you are a quiet guy, but seriously this is beyond a joke. Its like your lips have been sown up or something!" Luckily Jenn joins the others on the couch and saves Juan Carlos, who quickly asks about Martina: "You know, she's getting there. She, like, admitted that she has a problem at least!" Goran laughs; "The poor girl is going nuts, this house can do it to you. I usually have two Goran's, now I think I may have 50".*
*Justine and Xavier emerge from the bedroom minutes later, having spent the last few minutes being briefed on Kim's mental state by Marat. Kim had fallen asleep and Justine had taken the opportunity to ask about her good friend. Marat tells them that she was really hurting and needed time by herself, and they relay this to the other housemates. Jenn, Xavier and Juan Carlos all offer to prepare breakfast for the other housemates and head to the kitchen where they discuss how difficult it has been to keep their secret. During their gossip session they come to the realisation that neither one of them had flushed the paper down the toilet, it still remained where they had left it last night. Juan Carlos and Jenn say in horrified unison, "MARTINA!"*
*But it is all too late, Martina had seen the newspaper article and reads it with interest, she is dumbstruck and walks out of the bathroom clutching it and speechless. She joins the other housemates in the living room and discards it onto the coffee table; "Maybe someone would like to explain this" Justine, Goran and Monica are demanding answers. Jenn finally attempts to explain; "well, like, it is human nature. I couldn't resist, we couldn't resist" and she nudges Juan Carlos and Xavier to own up which they reluctantly do. Justine cannot believe this; "Poor Kim has her heart broken and all you three cared about was gossip. This week I have certainly learnt a lot about the people in this house, they are not only selfish, but unethical. For sure, that paper was meant to be returned entirely to Big Brother. As far as I am concerned you should all be evicted." Monica and Goran are less harsh, but Monica voices her disapproval; "It wasn't the right thing to do" Martina is stoney faced, unable to understand how she was kept
*Big Brother calls the three perpetrators into the diary room and gives Jenn her second warning in the house, and thus an automatic 3 nomination points for next week if she fails to be evicted tomorrow. The two boys are chastised and given their first warning.*
*Feeling now that it is impossible to complete this weeks task given the households tenuous position, Monica tells Goran that the best thing to do would be to cut their losses and resign themselves to failing this weeks task.*
*Justine finally approaches Martina who feels much more self-assured, but still shaky after her chat with the BB Psychiatrist. Martina attempts to explain "This whole while I have been in the house, I have been in to win, and I have admitted that from fairly early on. But I also wanted to play fairly, and the thought that other people are taking severe precautions to win rankles me" Justine understands; "I saw the way you acted today. Deep down I know you don't mean to come across as callous as you do sometimes but what you said yesterday was for sure inappropriate for the moment" Martina's eyes glaze over as she says; "Me and my dumb mouth" She giggles for the first time in a while. But then goes solemnly; "I don't recognise myself anymore. I am the most competitive person I know, but I never thought it would affect me this way" Later Juan Carlos joins Martina and he apologies for keeping the secret from her but Martina kisses him "If one thing has kept me any where near sane in this house, it has been you!"*
*Jenn and Xavier spend the afternoon outside, in a deep and pensive conversation about the situation*
*Kim and Marat, who have been oblivious to the whole episode, don't emerge from the bedroom until after night fall with the quiz due to take place in just under two hours. The others have decided not to tell them about the whole drama. Kim is still shattered but is vowing to move on, she doesn't seem ready yet as she spends much of the night cuddling up to Marat. No one is up to the quiz. Monica convinces the other housemates to fail this weeks task. To do this they must join together in unison and proclaim their intentions. In a moment of unity in a week of division the housemates link hands and exclaim "We the nine remaining housemates of Big Brother, solemnly swear to fail this weeks task. We will accept all consequences. We feel it unfeasible to undertake such a task at this time"*
*After a week of infighting, tactics and shocks the housemates may not have been able to complete this weeks task, but they certainly did learn more about each other. In a way, maybe this weeks objective was achieved. Of course tomorrow the biggest eviction yet will change the house forever, any two of the 9 housemates could be gone, and the house will never be the same again*

Tennis Big Brother Written by Jenn & Mags
Days 51 - 60
DAY 51
*The eviction has put pressure on all the relationships, with the volatile nature of everyone's place in the house glaringly obvious*
*Jennifer seems convinced it will be her turn to go this week. She whispers to Xavier as they lye in bed before breakfast that, a mood ring that she had used as a fool proof guide in the house up until now had turned black. "This has got to be a bad omen. Like, I am so out of here". Xavier tries to comfort her and they end up rolling around on the bed with Jenn mischievously claiming that she wants to leave her mark to remember her bye. She gives him a hickey on his neck and he reciprocates. Jenn giggles; "Well that will last a few days" she says.*
*Martina, whose neuroses had gotten her into more than a spot of bother throughout the week is now exceedingly anxious about the eviction. But if she is to leave the house, she does not wish to leave it with any ill-feelings between herself and Kim and has been swayed by reading the details of the report. She tells Kim; "I'd just like to say, I am sorry for what I did. You are a nice girl and you don't deserve to be looked upon with that sort of suspicion. You must be feeling dreadful." Kim forgives her, as she does with everyone, and their once promising friendship seems, at least superficially, to be back on track. But Kim she cannot forget Martina's callousness. Martina meanwhile is still harbouring doubts about Kim's tactics and the authenticity of the report, even though she has chastised her self for her paranoia, and is attempting to keep it in check*
*Kim later tells Justine; "Maybe he (lleyton) has done me favour, I had spent much of the past three weeks worried about him and our relationship. All this has made me so more determined to win and prove that I am something on my own. I don't want to live in anyone's shadow anymore" Justine smiles; "Now that is the attitude I like!"*
*Marat and Goran have resumed their talks by the pool in the afternoon and they are joined by Monica. Marat tells about how he feels Kim really needs the support of the house and speaks in no uncertain terms about his feelings for Lleyton; "That guy (lleyton) ought to be shot for what he has done. What did he think that this would do to her?" Goran is no so quick to disrespect there former housemate; "You know how the media is, " he laments, "They would say black was white just to get a good story. Most of it is probably bullshit anyway. It does make you think though, what the f*** are they writing about us while we are in here?" Monica agrees with Marat; "There is truth behind every rumour, something must be going on. I think if I get out tonight he can be expecting a call from me" Marat takes it further; "If I get out tonight, he can be expecting a punch in the face!" Goran Laughs, "He must be praying you are not getting evicted tonight!"*
*Juan Carlos and Martina later have a long discussion about the future in the house and come to the conclusion that sticking together is the only way to survive in the house, Jenn and Monica then join Martina when Juan Carlos goes to make his video will and the three reminisce about their time in the house and what fun it has all been. Monica and Jenn both agree that they have achieved virtually everything they intended to achieve in the house, bar winning. Jenn says; "I don't really think I have a chance anyway, I'm not really the kind of person that usually wins this sort of thing. If I go today I will not be happy, but in a way I will be satisfied". Monica agrees. The three girls spend the afternoon painting each other's finger and toe nails, with glittery nail polish that Jenn has brought into the house, they giggle, reminding them of more carefree days in the house*
*As the hours until the eviction double count down, the nervous tension builds inside the house!*
DAY 52
*Martina is desolate at the loss of her two long term friends in the house. She is in a cone of silence throughout the morning as they watch the video wills of Monica and Jennifer. Her behaviour leaves the housemates wondering, Is this the news that will finally tip Martina over the edge?*
*With each passing eviction the house seems to lose an element of its enthusiasm and spirit. Many of those left in the house are now quite introverted, and Goran tells Marat after the eviction that; "If people do not lighten up around here, I am gonna go completely nuts". Marat jokes; "You already are!". The mates then spar playfully, before Marat returns inside to be with Kim whose own mental state is seriously under question when she begins to manically wash each piece of fruit in the house.*
*Nominations are just around the corner and the house is set to be rattled again*
DAY 53
*Monday is both task and nomination day and the remaining housemates lounge around waiting for both. Discussions center on who everyone thinks will be nominated this week. Everyone thinks they know at least one of the people up for eviction. Martina is sure Kim will be up for eviction along with her sidekick Juju, but keeps this information to herself. Juju, Kim, Xavier and Juan Carlos all think Martina will be up for eviction due to her paranoid tendencies but are unsure of the second person. Xavier is convinced Marat will not be nominated due to his 'guardian angel routine' while comforting Kim during what the housemates have affectionately come to know as "Lleytongate". Goran and Marat think they will be up for nomination as they are the only ones not taking the whole game seriously, however Marat is concerned for Kim who has continued with her fruit cleaning habits, and has now moved towards scrubbing her benches*
*At 1.00pm the nominations are announced, either Goran, Juju or Xavier will be leaving on Saturday. Goran laughs when he hears his name for the fifth time, Juju gasps in surprise and Xavier kicks a chair after receiving his first nomination based on the voting system - he thought his nude run last week would have won him some friends in the house, thus avoiding nominations - obviously he was wrong.*
*Absent Jenn's distractory ability and frank assessment of situations and Monica's calming influence, the house's dynamics have changed significantly towards a more cagey, back stabbing disposition. Martina who was once a beacon of honesty has now turned neurotic tactician, and the house is lacking the former Martina.*
* But Marat will not abide by the new system of silence, the announcement of this weeks nominations has confused and angered him as once again his partner in crime, Goran is up for nomination. Over lunch Marat rants to all the housemates "I don't understand why anyone in the house would nominate Goran....he hasn't bitched about anyone, stolen any food, broken any hearts and yet it seems almost every week some two-faced backstabbers in this house keep nominating him"*
* Juju is distressed that she is nominated and confides in Kim and Xavier "I don't understand ... what have I done to anyone to deserve this?". Xavier whines "What about me...it seems my association with Jenn has cost me dearly". Juju continues the 'bitching forum' saying, "I mean there are others in this house who add nothing - Juan Carlos for one". Xavier nods to this and adds "And what about Little Miss Paranoid - Martina...just how the hell she has avoided nomination this week is beyond me". Justine is more appreciative of Martina's position; "I just think mentally she (martina) is gone. I really want to help her, but I don't know what to do!" Kim meanwhile continues to polish the oranges to a shine as she says in support "Honestly Juju if you leave I don't know what I will do". Xavier highly charged by his nomination mutters to himself "Probably polish another orange".*
*Martina is relieved that she has avoided both eviction last Saturday and nomination today. Martina observes Kim as she polishes the bananas, she is fighting her head, which is consumed with plots and conspiracy and her heart which can't help but feel sorry for Kim. As she was not evicted on Saturday Martina's mind is telling her that the public can see what her other housemates can't - 'Lleytongate' was all a scam done to gain public sympathy. Martina mutters to herself "..you must get them to see what is going on Martina. Persuade them one at a time...first Juan Carlos and then the others". Without Jenn and Monica to ground her, Martina's irrationality threatens to take her over; she is finding talking to herself is more productive than talking to her fellow housemates. Luckily Juan Carlos and Xavier, who has been convinced by Juan Carlos that Martina needs love and support at the moment, interrupt her trance like state, carrying her outside together as she giggles and asks what they are doing. They dump her in the pool, and then jump in after her and frolic a little bit. The three all bemoan Jenn's absence and remember her funniest moments in the house, Martina's frown turns to a smile and she gives the two guys a little kiss on the cheek. Xavier reminds her; "Jenn would want us to make the most of our time in here!"*
* The remainder of the day is uneventful and the housemates laze around. After dinner, Kim comments on the lack of a set task and the other housemates agree on its being very strange. Xavier thinks they may be receiving a punishment for fialing last weeks task. Martina is anxious and worried about another anomaly in a week of surprises*
* At 11.00pm BB calls the housemates together for their weekly task and gives them the following instructions BB is giving you 24hours to nominate one person from the housemate.
* Marat states "Well who wants to be nominated...any takers?". Martina is quick to say "I'm not nominating myself for anything....after last weeks eviction process BB might evict the one we nominate on the spot!". The house is stone quiet at the suggestion but it is quickly dismissed by Xavier; "Come on let us not all get paranoid!" *
* As crazy as it sounds Martina's theory of immediate eviction is secretly believed by most of the housemates who then spend the next 45mins arguing on who will/should be nominated before Goran takes control and says "Ok...how about we all sleep on it and tomorrow evening we have another round of nominations and the person with the highest number of votes is put forward". The housemates all agree "At least we all stand an equal chance then" Juju says.
* The housemates finally retire to bed where Marat and Goran attempt to alleviate the tension with a late night strip tease, in which they are joined by Juan Carlos. The guys strip down to their jocks and parade in unison as the girls laugh and jeer. Xavier has falling asleep as soon as he hit the pillow and he is snoring extremely loudly. Marat then hugs Kim and makes sure everything is alright with her. Eventually the housemates drift off to bed in ones and twos all certain that for one of them it will be their last night in the house.......*
DAY 54
*Paranoia continues where it left off the previous day. Martina does not help the situation be repeating her theory, while she, Justine and Kim carry on the fitness regime that Monica has initiated; "I bet whoever we pick will be evicted...it is a trick". "They cannot do that, Can they?" Kim states as she strokes a melon. Justine is disillusioned and seems to be aligning with Martina's view point; "Nothing would surprise me anymore!" The girls finish off their routine with a quick stretch and then head inside to the showers.*
*They meet Marat in the shower and he gives Kim a back rub to relax her. Justine and Martina don't fail to take the opportunity to gossip about the new friendship and whether a new house romance was set to bloom. Secretly, Martina is thinking that perhaps this was yet another ploy by Kim to win over the public's adoration*
* The remainder of the morning and early afternoon housemates mingle with each other trying to minimise their chances of being nominated. Never has so much teeth been on display, with false smiles and friendly banter making for a general election like atmosphere in the house with candidates putting their best face forward. *
* Goran sits back and laughs as he observes the propaganda trail of his fellow housemates and says to Marat "Thank god there are no babies in here....they would be queuing up to kiss the poor thing". Marat quips "If they like they are free to kiss by baby soft behind!" and the two descend into laughter. *
* Martina spends time talking to Juju and Kim stating that as there were outnumbered by the guys it was in their interest to stick together. Martina goes on "You can bet that Marat and Goran have an alliance and they will pull in Juan Carlos and Xavier...if we are to survive, we have to stick together ladies." . While Juju thinks it is unethical she wants to stay in the house so agrees with Martina. Kim thinks it is a dangerous game and decides to say nothing.*
*Juan Carlos and Xavier discuss this evenings votes too. Xavier says "Do you know who you will be voting for yet...I know I won't be voting for you that's for sure". Juan Carlos replies "I would hope not, I had no intention for voting for you either".*
* Later that afternoon Marat and Goran again discuss Saturdays possible eviction. Marat continues "I swear, if you go on Saturday I will go mad in this house...and I have no bloody racquets to smash either". Goran is touched by his friends support and says "It is worrying that people are sticking the knife in behind your back...it is almost as bad as the women's tour". The friends laugh and spend the next couple of hours shooting hoops with Juan Carlos and Xavier.*
* 4.00pm The housemates gather to vote. Goran asks one more time "Is anyone willing to volunteer to be the housemates nominee?". With Martina's theory of eviction ringing in their ears all the housemates remain silent. Xavier goes so far as to sit on his hands. Each person then writes the name of the nominee on a piece of paper that is put into a bag. The bag was emptied and the name on each piece of paper read out aloud by Goran as follows -
1. Goran 2. Xavier 3. Martina 4. Martina 5. Martina 6. Juju 7. Martina
*Goran laughs as he says "I declare Martina the group nomination". Martina is having none of it and spits "This is a set-up, I am not having it, I demand a recount, I,I....." and dissolves into uncontrollable tears.*
*The other housemates sit embarrassed at the fact that they had made a fellow housemate cry, while at the same time feeling relieved that it wasn't them that was nominated. Goran is filled with guilt as he watches Martina sob and says "Look guys I will volunteer to be nominated". Marat shouts "No, the vote was fair and should stand", but Goran stands firm in his decision*
*None of the other housemates try to talk Goran out of it or volunteer to take his place. Kim gives Goran a hug for he has sacrificed his place in the house. Martina makes a seemingly speedy recovery from her crying tantrum and says to Goran "Thank-you...I just don't feel ready to leave yet". Martina's thanks appear sincere but there are grumblings from several housemates that this was not a democratic decision and therefore should not be upheld.*
* Marat accompanies Goran to the bedroom to start packing his things for what they are sure is certain eviction later on tonight. Marat tells Goran he admires what he has done, but admits to being selfish when wanting him to stay. The two buddies spend the remainder of the evening joking and playing hoop with Xavier, Juju, Juan and Kim. Martina is not flavour of the month with her housemates and sensing this sits quietly reading.*
* 11.55pm The housemates sit and wait for the expected BB eviction. Suddenly the BB voice comes over the system - This is Big Brother. Would the spokesperson please announce the name of the nominated housemate.
Goran says "I am the nominated housemate"
There is a silence that seems to go on forever and the housemates hold their breath as they wait for the expected instructions. BB then delivers the following instruction "Goran as the nominated housemate you are given 24 hours to.. "
The clock strikes Midnight.....
DAY 55
*Big Brother continues his statement; "Goran as the nominated housemate you are given 24 hours to pick two/three housemates to join you in a week of luxury. The 3/4 housemates not chosen will have to survive the rest of the week on rations"*
*Goran cannot resist the opportunity to break out into an uncontrollable fit of laughter; all that angst and worry for this. Now he was going to be rewarded for his volunteering to be the groups nominee. Marat is also pleased that his best friend will stay in the house, at least until the eviction Saturday. The other housemates are in varying stages of relief, but Martina now seems more regretful than anything else, having given up her opportunity to live a week of luxury, she is tempted to ask for the initial nominations to be reinstated, but something inside her tells her to keep her mouth shut and she finally makes a prudent decision.*
*It is assumed by all that Marat will be joining Goran on the rich side leaving a maximum of two places left to be filled. Realising his position Goran points to his behind and says "Now anyone who wants to live with me for the rest of the week better pucker up real good" and he starts to make kissing noises. Marat rolls on the sofa laughing his head off.*
* Martina is the first to speak "I think the women should join Goran and the men live off the rations...you know like on a ship, women and children first". This reversal of women's lib is shot down immediately by Marat "Bullshit...Goran can pick who he likes, what the f*** has being a women got to do with anything". Juan Carlos and Xavier nods in agreement with Marat. Martina replies "I am not surprised by your response...that fact is you guys can cope better on a diet of chickpeas and vegetables - you have more muscle." This time Xavier beats Marat to a reponse bitching "and you have more fat on you - you can live off that for a week or even two". Marat adds "Besides if it was women and children first - you wouldn't make it under either of those headings anyway!". Juju suggests "How about we pull straws to see who wins a place?", but the usually placid Juan Carlos realising it was every man/woman for themselves finds his voice and replies "The original vote was fair and that was ignored, so I don't think it would work...I mean if I end up on the poor side and I start to cry, will someone swap with me?". Kim giggles and adds "Yes..you must admit Martina's sobbing was certainly worthy of an Oscar". This is the first time Kim has smiled in days and it does not go unnoticed by Marat and he gives her a smile of encouragement. *
* Goran watches as tempers are clearly starting to unravel as the remaining housemates now jostle for a place on his side and tries to make light of the tension saying "Look guys I have 24 hours to make up my mind, but at this rate you would have killed each other by then anyway!. I will decide who I take on my terms..now I am off to bed"*
*By the morning, Martina is resigned to not being selected by Goran and goes to the kitchen to need some dough in preparation for making bread. The other housemates attempt to win him over; Kim offers him one of the oranges that she had just polished, "Its shiny!" she says sombrely. Goran giggles and accepts the gift.* *Marat and Goran spend the day stretched out shirtless on the Kabana lounge by the pool and laughing at their good fortune. They discuss which person would be best to join them. Goran laughs "what makes you think I will chose you! I have two Gorans, that is two people. Then I have only two others to chose, their might be someone better than you in here!" Marat laughs: "yes I agree, I think you will have a much better time with Martina, she is so easy going lately!". Suddenly Justine emerges and gives them an ice tea with a twist of lemon in it. She then offers to make them a dinner and rushes inside to prepare it*
*They are joined outside by Juan Carlos and Xavier who botch make pitchers for a spot in the select four. Both offer to give Goran some of their t-shirts, to replace the ones that Serena ruined in her infamous "last wash" in the house. Then as the four guys head into a game of basketball Xavier says: "Just think if you chose the girls you wouldn't have enough players for a match. At least with 4 guys it is two on two.". Juan Carlos, who has been less than impressed by Martina's actions lately, also goes for the sexist theme "Also as there are only three girls I think it would be unfair to split them up..don't you?". *
*Goran laughs after Juan Carlos and Xavier go inside for a drink; "This is so funny. For 8 weeks I have lived with these people and they have been nothing but cagey and backstabbing. Look how nice they are now!" After careful examination of each of the prospective candidates the boys laugh at the quirkiness of each of the members of the household. Goran comments: "Martina is a neurotic. Juan Carlos is so boring. Justine is butch. Xavier is a sheep and Kim, well she is.." Marat stares him down. Goran reacts to his friends defensive posture; "Kim, well I will give her serious consideration..*
*Inside Martina has asked Juan Carlos to decline the invitation of Marat and Goran if he gets chosen. She tells him that if she must spend the week without him she is afraid she would not be able to stay in the house: 'You are my only friend in here!" She gives him a kiss on the cheek; "I need you so much at the moment, If I have to spend the week on rations without you..I don't know.. You are the only one who can dig me out of the emotions I have at the moment. You make me see the good in me!" Put so passionately Juan Carlos can hardly refuse her request, after all she had been the one who had ignited his flame in the house. He giggles; "If we are going to kiss, we must kiss properly!" referring to her peck on the cheek. He gives her a long passionate kiss on the lips. Martina then quickly retorts; "We must get back to backing this bread, or we will look very lazy". This makes Juan Carlos remember Martina's fragile mental condition but he vows to himself that he will get Martina through her tough week.*
*Kim is relaying the disaster of the previous week spent on rations to Justine and Xavier, who of course were not in the house during that period. Justine is eagerly awaiting the decision of Goran. "If he doesn't choose me, at least I will be able to show everyone how I can survive by myself". Kim has taken to washing her hands at regular intervals and she is now suffering from dermatitis. She also seems to be in denial about "lleytongate", even though she smiled this morning, she was still not herself.. Justine worries about her friend, and hopes that she will get the luxury lifestyle because she needs to be pampered this week.*
*At dinner, prepared by Juju, some housemates eat more than normal in anticipation of being forced to live on lentils. Xavier and Juan Carlos stuff fruit into their pockets and Juju makes use of the washing machine to wash all her clothes. Martina is seething, feeling that Kim has used the sympathy card to once again rankle her way into a good position, having spent all of dinner announcing to the house that this week has taught her that she can survive over huge obstacles if she puts her mind to it. Once again, Marti says nothing.*
*It is almost midnight before Goran makes his way to the diary room and tells Big Brother who he has chosen to be the two or three to share his week of luxury. Big Brother thanks Goran and says that tomorrow the decision will be announced to the other housemates*

DAY 56
*Kim is up early to feed the chickens that she now regards as her confidants in the house. She talks to them; "I love the way you all prance around, care free. I will be care free too. No love is care free!" She laughs at her talking to the chickens and then continues to disperse feed around their peaceful den*
*Justine and Xavier take the opportunity in the early morning to discuss the experience of being an intruder. Justine and Xavier, agree that along with James they have shared a very unique experience, even separate from their other housemates. Justine believes that she will be evicted on Saturday, her third nomination experience; "For sure, I have a big chance of going on Saturday. I am just a normal girl. Normal Girl's don't usually do very well in shows like this." Xavier disagrees; "You have proven over the last few weeks that you are definitely a nice person, and I think that counts for something. If you look back at the last five people evicted (since they had been in the house), they were all..well.they had a bad side". Justine giggles; "But I am so boring. I haven't even stripped off my clothes yet!" Xavier giggles, "Its better than being too exciting!" *
*After Breakfast, Big Brother calls all the housemates together and makes the announcement; "Housemates, this is Big Brother. Goran, you're nominated housemate, has selected two people to join him on his three days of luxury. These housemates will be KIM and MARAT". The announcement of the two housemates is hardly a bombshell. Marat is hardly surprised by his own announcement but his pleasantly surprised by Goran's choice of Kim; he tells his best mate - "Thank you man, you're a top guy!". Kim meanwhile is quietly excited about her selection; an comfortable few days is exactly what she needs. Xavier is not happy at being snubbed by Goran as he thought that he was well and truly accepted as "one of the boys" by now, especially considering there was an opportunity for Goran to include another housemate in his selection which he declined to use. Juan Carlos is relieved, as he thought the opportunity for week of luxury might be too hard to resist, even with his commitment to Martina. Martina is unperturbed and remains expressionless at the announcement, whispering to Justine; "We will have our own fun!". Goran justifies his decision to the other housemates; "Its not personal guys. I had to pick two people and I thought they needed it the most" Kim, Goran and Marat are then called to the Diary Room to receive the conditions of their week of luxury:
*All day access to the Jacuzzi, which the other housemates will not be allowed to use *Any meal they wish cooked by a gourmet chef and delivered via the store room door, for lunch, dinner and breakfast *Access to luxury vibrating, massaging chairs *Any alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks of their choice *Their selection of films to be showed on the plasma screen *Access to king sized beds (to be wheeled into the bedroom). *Allowed access to a letter from a person of their choice from the outside world, to give them advice/guidance *Access to a limited range of other products. *They must not offer any of this to the other housemates.
This stands in stark contrast to the terms that are given to the other housemates, they will have to live a camp lifestyle for the next three nights, which includes;
*Pitching their own tents in the backyard, and sleeping in sleeping bags. *Access only to unperishable goods, that is food that does not need to be kept in the fridge/freezer *They must cook their own food, using a camp cooker on a camp fire. *No hot water showers, and only access to cold water showers between the hours of 9-11AM. *They must boil their own water for coffee/tea, gather eggs from the chicken coup and make their own bread. *They will be given a torch and matches. *Access to the pool is restricted to the hours of 7-10 PM daily. * They are not to ask the other housemates for any of the luxuries that they are enjoying.
*"This is ridiculous" Martina outbursts, "This is worse than when we were on rations last time. Plus other housemates are living in other more favourable conditions which will make them appear like more balanced people than us. This is biasing the game" Justine agrees, to a lesser degree with her. Xavier and Juan Carlos are taking a more philosophical approach; "Take this as character building experience" Juan Carlos says to Martina, who rolls her eyes at him mischievously, she softens but says exasperatedly: "I guess I can try anything once, but I swear this is an injustice. The game is not being played fairly.." Her voice trails off as she sees Juan Carlos staring at her with puppy dog eyes; "Ok.well on the bright side I am with you baby". Xavier nudges Justine; "This could be fun!" Justine mock punches him on the arm; "Oh stop being so optimistic. It's driving me nuts." She giggles "Lets go set up Camp"*
*After their last lunch together as equals, the housemates separate into what Juan Carlos has labelled "Social Classes". Marat , Kim and Goran are pleased when their massage chairs arrive in the afternoon, they set them up poolside and plug them into an extension cord that Marat sets up. They are given the ingredients to make themselves mild liquors and the boys mix Kim a Lime Midori with soft drink while they both have Kailua with Milk. Marat laughs; "Its too early for the vodka". The three lie down on their chairs sipping their drinks and Goran makes the comment; "This is the life". The three then fall into a conversation about from whom they wish to receive a much awaited letter from the outside world. Marat would like one from his mother; "I'm just a mommie's boy at heart" he giggles. Goran teases him, and Kim smiles broadly. Kim is wondering whether she should give Lleyton the opportunity to explain himself in a letter to her, and mentions it in passing to the boys who try to discourage her "It is your choice of course," says Goran. "But is might be better to leave it as it is". Marat laughs and changes the topic; "Maybe we can get the chickens to write you a letter, you seem to be very good friends with them lately!" Kim giggles and then asks the boys; "Do you think they would allow me some moisturiser for my hands, they are itching terribly (due to her over washing)?" She hurries off to ask Big Brother for some lotion. The sky clouds over and the wind picks up, Marat comments; "It looks like a storm is brewing, lets head inside."*
*Meanwhile the other housemates are struggling with pitching tents as the wind begins to gust. The tents are two person tents, and they have set them up beside a tree so as to avoid the elements. Martina and Juan Carlos are having particular trouble erecting their tent, but finally get it done; mostly thanks to Martina's relentless determination. She forces a grin when she is done, Juan Carlos hugs her; "Now lets just hope it stays up". Justine and Xavier then set about collecting some eggs from the chicken coup; "Gee, Kim has fed these chooks well. Look how big these eggs are!" Xavier holds up an egg and Justine laughs. When they return Juan Carlos has gathered some firewood from the store room and created a pile so that they can light a fire later. Martina is still complaining about how cold it is going to be inside the tents, and the four then head inside to get the loaf of bread from the oven that Martina had baked yesterday. Martina is not at all pleased when she finds that Marat had used the bread to make an afternoon snack for himself and he was now sitting with Kim and Goran, as well as Xavier and Juan Carlos on the sofa, gourmandising himself and contemplating what he will have for dinner. She makes the comment; "I cannot believe this. I mean enough is enough. Have some consideration for our situation". Marat is apologetic, realising he had over stepped the mark, but Martina is defiant and head to her tent to lie down.*
*Kim and Justine find the time to talk about this weeks conditions, Justine says; "its only a few days.but it is hard on her (martina). She thinks everything is against her, and many of us have felt like that during our time in the house, we should be helping her". Kim retorts; "I just wish she would be more reasonable". Kim, Goran and Marat decide upon a Chinese meal tonight of fried rice, lemon chicken, sesame prawns, sweet and sour pork and steak and black bean, while Juan Carlos, Xavier and Justine join Martina in the garden and they bring cans of baked beans, bread from the pantry and a few litres of water. It is nightfall now, and the wind is chilly. Xavier fires up the camp fire and they put the baked beans on the flame. Justine is making a simplified French toast with just eggs and bread for the others, while Martina sits there with a scowl on her face. But even she has to smile when she tastes Justine's cuisine; "this is really very resourceful of you!" she compliments. Justine grins: "There is plenty more where that came from". The four housemates sit around the fire, but is becoming very chilly and they decide to go inside to sit on the couch. Kim, Goran and Marat have finished eating and they head off to spend the night in the indoor Jacuzzi*
*Justine and Martina are talking about the problems faced by smaller women in tennis and then fall into a broader conversation about how it is even more difficult for women to be taken seriously if they are sports women. Justine jokes; "people think because I am a tennis player I am just some air head bimbo!" Martina agrees. But Juan Carlos and Xavier don't think that that stereotype is restricted only to sportswomen; "Men are called jocks" says Xavier, "its sad but a lot of people think that sports people are dumb" The debate fires Martina up and she begins to talk more frankly as she did in her early days in the house, but her disposition turns sour when they return outside to go to bed and rain is beginning to fall. While Marat and Kim are cuddling in the Jacuzzi and laughing with Goran after having a few too many drinks, Martina and the other campers are being faced with the bitterly cold elements. Justine is concerned that their tents will not be strong enough if the rain gets heavy. Xavier chimes; "I will be in their to protect you". Justine hugs him. Martina is surprisingly quiet as she slips into her tent, but her expression says it all. Juan Carlos follows her into their tent and they embrace warmly, as do Justine and Xavier in a more friend like way in the other tent. Juan Carlos whispers to Martina; "If you are cold tonight just rub against me!" Martina replies; "I will. This is such a joke though. I can't believe I am doing this". Meanwhile the rain picks up and begins to pelt against the canvas, while Kim, Goran and Marat settle into the King Sized beds that have been set up in the bedroom while they were in the Jacuzzi.. The campfire is snuffed out, will the makeshift camp last the night?*
DAY 57
*The two groups of housemates awake to very different sounds in the morning. Inside, Kim had snuck into Marat's bed and they are cuddling, smelling the wafting aromas of fresh coffee that Goran is brewing in the kitchen. In the backyard, the latch on the chicken coup has come undone with all the wind last night and the chooks have now gathered around the camp area and are pecking at the tents. The dawn sun is infiltrating the semi transparent plastic of the tents and the four housemates awake from their broken sleep, shivering with the cold, Martina giggles and nudges Juan Carlos as she sees the silohettes of the chickens frantically scattering around the outside of their tent; "What they hell are they doing there?". "They escaped their little prison - they are escapees". Martina laughs; "How was your night". Juan Carlos quips; "To be honest i freezed my balls off" Martina laughs; "Poor Baby!". She kisses him on the cheek and the attempts to stand up "Ouch...my back. This can't be good for your joints!" She goes out to the camp where Justine is sipping some tea that she had boiled on the stove, Martina can't resist the oppurtunity to ask about a possible realtionship blooming between herself and xavier; "You were getting very close last night" Justine is frank; "For sure, he is very great, but only as a friend. I could go tomorrow, I don't want to start something". "But you would, if you were not to be evicted" crafts Martina. Justine is not shirking the subject; "Honestly I don't know, friendships, let alone anything more are very difficult in this house. I just think me and Xavier have quite a bit in common, i only want to be friends." Martina smiles cheekily, her hair ruffled as she has disgarded the impeccable grooming that had been the tradmark of her time in the house. Then goes back to sipping her tea.*
*Marat and Kim have come out to the breakfast table with Goran and Big Brother has had prepared for them a traditional english breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausages and fried tomatoes. the housemates dig in and look well rested, and satisfied as they are joined by the other four who look very much the poor relations as they enter the room, with bags under their eyes, several layers of clothes on but with a suprisingly cheerful demanor; "how was your night?' Marat asks provokingly. Juan Carlos replies; "Cold, dark, noisy, windy....." Martina interjects and is suprisingly up beat, the experience of having to "rough it" seems to have grounded her; "it was fine"*
*After breakfast the boys gather around the sofa and Xavier is asked by Juan Carlos about how it was to spend the night with Justine. Marat and Goran egg him on. Xavier laughs; "I have to tell you this very funny story; "Well we were just lying their making just normal conversation and the boy just went up and he wouldn't go down. I was trying to concentrate to get it down, I was even thinking of Goran's bum when he did the naked chef act and everything but it just wouldn't go down. I think she noticed it, because she told me that something was digging into her back! It was embarrassing but funny!". The boys erupt into laughter, and Marat goes mock solemn; "I seriously think you may have a problem, if you could not go down even when thinking about that (goran's) hairy arse, you are a sick little boy!" and he erupts into laughter. Goran adds "Are you having doubts about your sexuality?". And Xavier is willing to laugh at his own expense; it was afterall a very funny story*
*Meanwhile while Martina takes the oppurtunity for a cold water shower while she still has it, Kim asks Justine what she thinks about getting Lleyton to write her a letter, Justine thinks it may bring an element of closure to the whole issue; "if you can handle what he says then it may be a good thing to do, to just get everything out in the open" Kim is struggling with her own emotions about he issue, she is feeling very attracted to Marat, and receiving a letter from Lleyton that could explain the whole issue as a mistake and an error, would leave her fidelity very much in doubt; "Maybe I should just move on. Forget about it. That was the past. He moved on. So she should I, right?" Justine nods her head, sensing the new positive energy that was surroundign Kim, for the first time since Justine had been in the house, Kim appeared in control of her own destiny.*
*martina emerges from the shower and for the first time in the house she doesn't even brush her hair, she tells Goran and Marat who are both stunned at the swiss beauties sudden lasse-faire attitude; "Hell, I am camping this week, you can't look your best all the time, it is too tiring!".*
*In the afternoon when Marat and Goran head off to the Jacuzzi for an afternoon dip, and sauna. Kim stays with the others and does some weeding which is is instigated by Martina. Instead of worrying about what everyone else is doing, and their tactics to do with the "game", Martina seems to be channeling her considerable energy, enthusiasm and vigor into positive deeds. the need to survive on her own, seems to have remined her that their are more lessens to be learnt in the Big Brother house, and more objectives to be achieved than simply winning. Kim rounds up the chickens from their momentary freedom andlocks them back in their coup. Justine and Juan Carlos are verbally sparring about how they can improve their games on hard courts and Xavier has found a tree in the garden which seems to have bloomed with some berries fruit and Kim is helping him collect them.*
*In the Sauna, Marat and Goran are now discussing the approaching business end of the series and whether all along Martina has been right; winning shoudl be you're focus point in the house. Goran thinks that eveything else is so volatile in the house, that in focusing on a goal that is so far away (winning) you risk losing your way, just like Martina had done over the last two weeks. But he also adds that if he survives again tomorrow, he has every chance of going all the way. Marat has enjoyed every minute of his time in the house, he has had very few if any low points, unlike the spasmotic fortunes of most of the other housemates; remaining and evicted. "In the back of my mind I have always had the goal of winning, now we have what is it four weeks left and I am just having such a good time, I haven't had time to think about it. It just gets better and better in here" Goran tries to bring up the subject of Kim, but is cut down quickly by Marat; "I want to relax. I don't want to think, give me a break"*
*Justine and Xavier go to the diary room one by one to give their diaries and both express a desire to stay in the house, and to explore relationships further*
*With the clouds clearing the night appear to be a cold, but nevertheless a relatively pleasant one. Juan Carlos fires up the camp fire and Martina is called to the diary room and given two bags of Marshmellow, to be cooked over the course of the night. When the two boys return from the Jacuzzi, Kim is very pleased to see them and shows Marat to the chickens, telling him the story about their excape last night "They are my little babies" she tells him. The three then go to tell Big Brother from whom they wish to receive their letter tommorrow. Marat chooses his mother, Goran his coach and Kim......? "Big Brother I would like to receive a letter from....my sister Elke" It is obvious now that Kim has made the concious decision to put the whole Lleyton issue behind her for her remaining time in the house....but does this leave the door open for romance with Marat? Big Brother announces that they will receive their letters tommorow*
*Martina is making an egg white omelete on the campfire and Xavier, is greedliy gobbling the cherries that he had collected from the tree, without consulting Big Brother on whether they were an edible variety. Marat, Goran and Kim join the others in the fading light, they have decided to forgoe their luxury meal for tonight to be with their other housemates as this could be Goran, Xavier or Justine's last night. But Goran isn't oo generous; "Don't any of you think I'm coming to sleep in any tent, I draw the line at that. The king size bed will be just fine!" All the housemates compliment Martina on her egg white omelete and she grins broadly, the housemates then settle down into some banter before Goran laughs; "Come on, enough with the conversation already, where are the marshmellows" Everyone laughs, as they put the marshmellows on a skewer, gather closer around the fire and cook them. The flicker of the firelight leaves everyone feeling a little romantic, particular Marat and Kim who take a long look into eachothers eyes before settling into a snuggle. Martina begins to sing swiss folk song and yoddle a little bit, although she laughs at her own mediocrity. Juan Calros Kisses her to stop her from torturing them anymore. Xavier then tries to yokle and does an even worse job. Goran whispers to Justine while Marat and Kim are snuggling; "And we thought she would never get over Lleyton!"*
DAY 58
*Last night's unity by the campfire, had left a sweet taste in the mouths of all of the housemates; the group had dispersed feeling for the first time in weeks as a whole group rather than simply a group of smaller factions.*
*During the night, the tent pins of Xavier and Justine's tent come loose and with the flaps of their tent blowing up and allowing a cool draft into their tent they decide to abandon their tent and instead drag their sleeping bags onto the verandah and star gaze for a while. Xavier is feeling quite ill from eating all the berries last nite and is now wondering whether they were poisonous, as he laments, Justine quips; "Remember when you played the hypochondriac in the movie?" Xavier giggles at the memory; "Yes" "Well you sound exactly like him" It is not long before their friendly conversational sparring, is interrupted by Goran who is rummaging around the fridge, for an early morning snack. Xavier heads inside to see what all the commotion is about and sees Goran who can't sleep with anticipation of the eviction, he takes the opportunity to take some anti-acid and then him and Goran
*As the sun rises, Juan Carlos and Martina emerge from the tent and join the others on the verandah, "What happened to your tent?" Martina giggles as she inspects the ruins of the tent that once stood next to hers "It collapsed" Xavier laughs "But we have been having a great time here," The two join the party raucously, and as the five discuss the prospect of another departure today, Goran laughs 'There is not much point in receiving my letter if I am going to be outside the house anyway." Juan Carlos thinks that every week, with every new departure, the remaining members of the house learn more about each other; the three left for the final week will end up being the closest friends, simply because they know each other best. Xavier laughs; "I don't think so. If Serena and Jenn were left together do you think they would have been best friends. No way. That's the great thing about being in here; you get to hang out with people that you normally wouldn't hang out with" The five housemates then reminisce about Jenn and Serena's cattiness and Martina quips; "Geez that seems like ages ago, A week is like a month in here!". All the housemates agree.*
*Marat and Kim are in the bedroom, relaxing in their king size bed, although nothing too raunchy has transpired between them yet. They are discussing the prospect of love and relationships in the house; "You know, After the way the first weeks in the house went, I promised myself that I would not get involved with another woman in the house" Marat says. Kim giggles; "We are not involved" she says coquettishly "We are just...good friends." Marat laughs; "That is it, we enjoy each others company" The two giggle and Marat goes and fetches some strawberries and cream that he had ordered from Big Brother. He plans to feed them to Kim.*
*Meanwhile in the garden Xavier is complaining about the itchiness of his chest, as regrowth from the waxing incident is beginning to sprout. Martina laughs; "You want me to re-wax you?" Xavier is extremely hesistant and Juan Carlos and Goran are taunting him about being a girl. Xavier decides to reserve judgement about the waxing until after tonight's eviction*
*Goran then leaves to go to the diary room and read the letter from his coach. It expresses the admiration that he now has for him for keeping the multiple Goran's in control. He also tells him that like his Wimbledon victory, he must keep his emotions in check, in order to get the most out of this experience*
*Marat meanwhile has returned to the bedroom with the strawberries and cream and has joined Kim on the bed; "If we couldn't go to Wimbledon, Wimbledon will come to us!" Kim giggles but her face suddenly turns to distress when Marat attempts to feed her the strawberries. Marat notices the change in her demeanour and asks her what is wrong but Kim says that she is fine but wants to get some air and scatters out of the bedroom and joins the others on the porch. Marat is puzzled and so goes to the kitchen to make himself a coffee, and retraces his steps to see what he may have done wrong. Kim has resumed her previous desolate state on the porch but she is not keen to divulge what is worrying her*
*In the commotion, Marat and Kim have not had time to receive their letters from Big Brother, Kim avoids him for the rest of the day and ends up weeping onto Justine's shoulder about how she is not yet over Lleyton. As much as she wants to move on, there are always reminders of him. But she is not keen to discuss what had brought these old issues to the fore *
*The three nominees pack their bags for the eviction and make their video wills*
*The housemates are called to assemble in the living room for the eviction*

DAY 59
*After the eviction, Xavier retires to the tent he once shared with Justine and is filled with nostalgia and a little loneliness. He is however thankful that this will be his last night of camping. Xavier is finding it so difficult to sleep that he leaves his tent and unzips the entrance to Juan Carlos and Martina's tent where they are sleeping reasonably soundly. He shines his torch light in their faces and attracts Martina's attention who is hardly compassionate at this stage of the morning, she spits; "What the hell are you doing?" He jumps on top of them both and shouts "I'm Lonely". This awakes Juan Carlos who says bleary eyed; "Just lay down and shut up". Martina is still not pleased; "Look how squashy it is going to be in here!" Xavier replies; "I think it is kind of cosy" He settles down in between the two lovers. Martina quips, albeit a little more light heartedly: "If you don't shut up I will give you cosy!" The three then drift to sleep*
*Inside Kim has not received Justine's eviction favourably and in her confused emotional state she is sleeping in her own king sized bed without Marat as she tries to gather her thoughts*
*Meanwhile, on his last day of the "luxury" lifestyle, Goran, who having survived his fifth eviction nomination is now feeling well nigh invincible, tells Juan Carlos that this week he plans to return to his hell-raising ways. Juan Carlos is stretched out on his towel and Goran lapping up the massage chair and a cool beer, Goran laughs; 'Hey you want a beer?" Juan Carlos replies 'but.". Goran plays dumb "Oh yes.I forgot, you can't have one!" Juan Carlos then playfully attempts to wrestle the beer from Goran's hand and ends up pushing him in to the pool. Juan Carlos points and laughs as Goran splashes him; "I'd come in after you, but I'm not allowed in there during the day" *
*After Justine's departure, Kim is once again rattled and she cannot understand the rhyme or reason behind the departure of her great friend. She tells Martina, who, significantly, is the only other female left in the house; "I just don't understand anymore, why people do as they do. do the public really want to break my heart or what? It seems everyone I am close to is evicted too quickly". Martina seems to have progressed for her recent carping, neurotic self as is back to her old self; "Don't ask me" she says bluntly, "Sometimes I think everything is against me, but only then do I see what I really value - what is really important to me - in life".
*Meanwhile Marat is having a discussion with Xavier about what he possibly could have done wrong for Kim to react in the way she did yesterday. Xavier suggests that maybe she just doesn't like strawberries. Marat dismisses Xavier's explanation and he reminds us that he is not all "Sensitive new age guy" as he has been acting lately; "No one, not even a woman could get all teary like that over fruit" Xavier laughs, as does Marat but he quickly returns to his pensive state; "You know, I really like her. I don't know if it is going to be some passionate affair or anything like that..but I know that I want to spend more time with her." Despite attempting to be serious and helpful Xavier can't help but laugh; "Weren't you the one who told me that love was for women and not for real men?" Marat blushes, the giggles; "Who ever send that I was in love?"*
*Marat then goes to fetch his letter from his mother, it is written with Russian and moves the big guy to tears for the first time in the house, luckily for the sake of his bravado he is reading it privately in the diary room. The letter tells him to open his heart to all the experiences in the house, and for him to spend these last few weeks to develop further as a person. She tells him that she loves him and all his family will be waiting for him when he leaves. As a tear trickles down his cheek he says into the Big Brother camera in Russian; "I love you mum" and blows a kiss*
*Kim also receives her letter from her sister and reads it with eager anticipation, Elke tells her to let go of her inhibitions and to not let anyone hold her back. She also explains that as far as she knows the Lleyton story was fact, and that anything he happens to do should not affect her actions. She tells her that everyone is proud of her and that the only thing she has nothing to prove to anyone. Kim smiles as tears roll out of her eyes*
*She returns all set for a discussion with Marat, but instead Big Brother interrupts; the nominations are to be announced*
DAY 60
*Yesterday's round of nominations turned the house on its ear again with the announcement that two thirds of the house will be nominated. Kim covered he mouth in pensiveness at the news, Marat laughed, Juan Carlos smiled and kissed Martina, and Goran threw his hands up in mock exasperation at receiving his sixth eviction nomination, exclaiming; "God in heaven, why did you have to make me so f**** annoying". All the housemates laugh at his being able to take such a light hearted approach towards the prospect of eviction*
*The news that both her and Marat are up for eviction this week has forced Kim into action, and as their luxury items were wheeled out of the house last night, the tents outside packed up and the housemates returned to some level of equality Kim and Marat shared in their last luxury dessert; a rich French mousse. Kim had explained to him that the reason she had run out of the bedroom the other day was because she had remembered how early in the house she and Lleyton had shared that chocolate bar, and how him feeding her strawberries had brought all the memories back. As Marat is attempting to explain his error in sensitivity, Kim, with Elke's words ringing in her ears takes a scoop of her mousse and holds the spoon up to Marat's mouth; "You know this is delicious". Marat bites on the spoon and smiles at her. They went to bed cuddling. For the first time in over a week, Kim does not feel the need to polish fruit tonight; her conscience seems finally to be at peace.*
*Martina meanwhile is relishing the feeling of not being nominated yet again and of course, getting her old bed back However she is worried about Juan Carlos' potential eviction. Her and Kim, who had never been the closest of friends, now seem to be relating to each other so much better following all the recent developments. She tells Kim and Xavier that Juan Carlos has been her lifeline in the house; 'Be honest, I was going nuts!" she says frankly. Kim and Xavier remained tight lipped. Xavier says; "I think you were just a bit fruity" Martina rolls her eyes; "Anyway, He was the one who made me see that their were so many more options in this house than what I was seeing. No one recognises that he is at the core of everyone's sanity in the house. He just can't go" Kim and Xavier see Martina's point as they reflect upon Juan Carlos' advice throughout the time in the house and suddenly they appreciate him so much more.*
*Goran tells Juan Carlos and Marat that he is going "stir crazy". "The reason I laugh at getting nominations is because I am really not taking this seriously. In fact I am getting a little bored in here to be honest. Don't misunderstand me; I have had a great time but its not getting in more interesting in here. The more people who leave, the more excitement that gets sucked out of the house"*
*Kim and Xavier prepare dinner "Belgian Style" for the other housemates, and when Marat comments to Kim on its tastiness, Goran whispers to Xavier; "You know, I never thought that he would be making me sick, but now he is." Xavier nearly chokes on his dinner. After Dinner, the weekly task is to be announced; "This is Big Brother, this weeks task will be to become parents. That is right, tomorrow morning you will find three new arrivals on the veranda - motorised babies. Your task will be to pair up and look after one child between two, attending to the babies needs. More information will be given in the morning." Goran quickly does the mathematics, Juan Carlos will pair up with Martina, Kim with Marat, leaving him to share parental duties with.. Marat giggles; "Looks like your week just got a whole lot more interesting!"*

Tennis Big Brother Written by Jenn & Mags Days 61 - 70
DAY 61
*After the announcement of this week's task, Goran had erupted into laughter about sharing his parental role with Xavier. Kim thinks that this will now give her more time to get to know Marat, which is one of her priorities and Martina feels that Juan Carlos will now get the opportunity to display to the public all his charm and indispensability*
*Xavier suggests all the housemates get an early night as the babies will require them to stretch all their resources over the next week; "Martina I saw when you played that final against Steffi in 1996, you were dying after those five sets - its going to be even more tiring than that!" Goran quips provocatively; "But you must remember she is only a woman, that is why they only play three sets most of the time, they flake out!" Marat laughs, and him and Goran do a high five. Martina, never shirking a challenge, is quick to spit; "At least on the women's tour, we don't tank half of our matches!" Marat laughs light heartedly; "Me? Tank? Never!". Juan Carlos soothes the situation; "I think the X man has a point, lets get to bed." The housemates begrudgingly head to bed*
*At 6 AM a crying sound can be heard in the bedroom through the loudspeakers, suddenly Big Brother announces; "All housemates to the veranda please". Xavier and Goran are tempted to ignore the call, but Martina and Kim are jumping out of their skin to be assigned their babies and Kim's enthusiasm has spilled onto Marat who is at least feigning interest. Bleary eyed, the housemates make their way out onto the frosty Veranda. Three basinets stand lined up on the porch, with the babies inside, Kim is worried; "Oh lets get them inside, they must be freezing out here!". Once they have carried the babies inside, the 6 sit around the couch with the new arrivals and begin to thin up names. Goran and Xavier name their girl 'Baby' as it is easy to remember! Marat and Kim amalgamate their names together to name their boy Markim. Martina and Juan Carlos go for tradition naming their son Juan Jr.*
*The six new parents then discuss how they will approach their week of parenting. Goran and Xavier agree that they will take an approach in which their child would not be "molly coddled" - "Our child will end this week ready to cope with anything, we will not treat her like porcelain" Goran says. Martina states; "Me and Juan Carlos are a modern couple, we will share the parental duties equally". Marat rolls his eyes and gestures to Goran; "he (Juan Carlos) is so whipped!" Goran laughs; "You just watch yourself, I haven't seen you standing up to Kim too often lately" As if to reassert his chauvinistic side, Marat states that there are certain jobs for a women and certain ones for a man when it comes to bringing up children. "Kim will do the domestic duties like washing, cleaning and feeding and I will play with Markim and when the time comes I will teach him how to be a man! After all man is man and woman is woman. That is how I was brought up, and my son should be brought up like this as well". Kim sees this as entirely reasonable, and Martina bites her tongue at Kim's submissiveness*
*The rest of the day is spent in fascination with the novelty. Goran and Xavier are sunning themselves outside, and have brought "Baby" out with them. Martina quips; "You know the baby will get burnt if it sits in the sun all day!" In an act of defiance Goran takes his baseball cap that he had been wearing backwards from off his head and puts it on top of Baby's head; "see I am a sun smart father" And flashes a smile at Martina who smirks back at him cheekily, she is giving Juan Jnr a play in the shallow water of the pool and Juan Carlos is inside the pool making sure that the water does not get to deep*
*During dinner, Markim begins to cry and Kim heads into the bedroom where the three babies are sleeping and changes his nappy, as she leaves the bedroom, Juan jnr begins to cry and Juan Carlos hurries in the room; the babies are starting to affect their lifestyle.*
*The 6 housemates settle back down to sleep knowing that the chances are their sleep will not go uninterrupted tonight*
DAY 62
*After a relatively quiet day, the babies seem intent on keeping their parents up all night.and into the early morning. For the housemates who are all young and single, without much thought of marriage, let alone having children, this is a exasperating and irritating experience. At 2.00am Juan Jr cries requiring feeding and changing, by Martina. He finally cries to sleep in Juan Calros' arms at 2.30 AM. Just as the bedroom seems to have quieted down again, at 2.45, Baby starts crying, causing Xavier to let out an expletive. When Martina asks angrily why neither he nor Goran were attending to their baby, Goran replies; "We are testing the controlled crying method" To which Martina rolls her eyes covers her ears with her pillow, tyring to mask the noise. Soon Markim joins Baby in a chorus of crying. Of course it is Kim, who arises from her broken sleep to meet the babies needs, she ends up rocking both Baby and Markim in an attempt to get them to sleep. Marat meanwhile has filled his ears with cotton wool and is blissfully immune to all the night moves. Martina is tempted to remove his ear plugs and screech in his ear, but refrains. She does however, have no qualms about telling Goran to get up and attend to his baby. He of course ignores this. It is almost 4.00 AM before Kim returns to bed after finally calming the two babies down, Martina is indignant on her behalf*
*Goran and Xavier head out in the morning to shoot some hoops and leave Baby sitting on the couch. Kim and Martina meanwhile are feeding their babies some breakfast food. Marat is still in a deep sleep in the bedroom. Juan Carlos is in the outside trough cleaning Juan Jnr's soiled sleep wear. He is in full view of Goran and Xavier and they are quick to jibe him about his "sensitive new age guy" act. "Come on!" Goran says "This is unbelievable, cleaning poopy nappiers - that is not man's work". Xavier laughs; "If I was you I would be expected something real good from Martina in return" Juan Carlos smirks suggestively, and Goran inquires; "So are you getting any perks? Come on we're your buddies, you have to share this with us!" Juan Carlos laughs at the two gossip mongers; "who is acting like women now!" he laughs and heads inside, with the psychological advantage over the sex-starved Goran and Xavier. Is the quiet, innocent boy finally revealing his strategic hand and making a bid to become the Alpha male of the house?*
*Kim is having a conversation with Martina about her relationship with Marat, "I think that he is very sweet, but sometimes he can be very inconsiderate" Martina giggles; "You just noticed that, I mean he is a great deal of fun but he is a lazy ass when it comes to helping out around the place!" Kim smiles; "I think that is exactly the reason me and him are so attracted; we are polar opposite; he is the showy, flighty one. I am the responsible, straight one. I guess opposites do attract!" Martina, is thinking that Kim is nuts of course, and true to her old self, makes no qualms about her difference of opinion; "I just couldn't deal with the way he is acting, I don't like seeing you do all the work - its midday and he is still in bed. Can he even pass the task if he goes on like this?" Kim explains; "I'm fine. This is actually a lot of fun. If he fails the task - well what can I do?*
*Goran and Xavier, who have abandoned their baby all morning, are claiming that they cannot hear Baby when she begins to cry around lunchtime. Xavier complains that this task discriminates against himself and Goran as they are both men and the other couples contain a woman, to which Martina smirks; "But I thought you were the stronger sex, surely two men should be a stronger combination". BB warns Goran and Xavier that they have to take better care of their baby- or measures will be taken against them. Making an effort, Xavier changes Baby's nappy and it promptly falls off when she is picked up to be cuddled by Kim. Goran then prepares some food but the milk is too hot, food too cold or not heated at all and the two practically drown the poor thing when they give it a bath.*
* Marat emerges from the bedroom after lunch, stretching out in only his pyjama pants, and greeting the other ragged housemates with a cheery "good morning". He comes over and plays with little Markim, talking to him in Baby voices. Kim thinks this is so sweet. But Goran, Xavier and Juan Carlos who have all put in quite a fair bit of work over the morning are a little annoyed, Goran quips; "Tts only a doll man...settle down". "I know it is" says Marat "...but it is so damn cute!" Goran laughs; "it wasn't so cute when he was keeping us up all night!" Marat is indignant and says that looking after a baby is no big deal and that women have been complaining over nothing all these years. Words cannot describe Martina's exasperation. Having swallowed a fair mouthful of sexist rhetoric from the boys over the last few days, Martina is not content to play passive anymore. Reminded of the words of her good friend Monica, she issues Marat with a challenge; "If you can cope with looking after Markim, from midnight tonight, for 24 hours, without Kim's assistance, performing all duties like feeding, bathing, cleaning and comforting, I will make a speech professing males as the stronger sex. If you cannot, you must make the same speech praising females." Marat is reluctant to back down on his traditional beliefs, but his arrogance will not allow him to turn down Martina's challenge. They shake hands on it. Goran laughs; "This is going to make me laugh - Marat and domestic - what an Oxy Moron". He pats Marat on the shoulder; "Good luck mate". Kim has full confidence in her man, telling Juan Carlos; "He will prove all of you wrong!"*
*As all the housemates retire to bed, after putting their respective babies to bed in their cribs, Martina is anxiously awaiting little Markim's first cry for help during the night. Her and Juan Carlos cuddle in bed and she tells him how lucky she is to have him, and how he is so much more mature than all the other guys in the house. In a gesture of commitment, Marat has taken Markim out of his crib and has him resting on his chest...father and son breathing in and out in unison. Goran, like Martina, is willing himself not to go into a deep sleep - not because he wants to be alert to take care of Baby, but because he wants to be awake when Markim cries during the night and Marat is forced to wake from his deep slumber. Goran goes to sleep with a big grin on his face........................ Will cocky Marat, who has put his ear plugs back in his ears, stumble at the first hurdle of his challenge?*
DAY 63
*The serenity of Marat's moment with Markim is quickly shattered when his little boy is the first to cry after the housemates have scarcely had an hour of sleep. Marat is surprisingly responsive to the baby's needs, although half asleep, looks in the back of the nappy and sees that the baby definitely needs a change "Oh..man..you did a poopy!". Martina and Goran are sitting up in bed and looking at Marat as he mindlessly attempts to put a nappy onto Markim, he struggles with it and Martina giggles. By this time Kim is watching Marat's attempt to change the baby with fascination. She whispers to Martina; "He needs help" and she attempts to get out of her bed. 'Don't you dare," giggles Martina and holds Kim back; "Let him figure it out for himself. Its so funny!". Marat ends up taping the nappy up with some masking tape he fetches from the kitchen, and he brings Markim back to bed with him, leans across and gives Kim a kiss on the forehead; "That was easy!"*
*Barely minutes after Markim's outburst another baby can be heard crying for assistance. By now the housemates are now all on edge and the housemates resemble a group of people all rushing for their mobiles when they hear a ring tone. The guilty baby is found to be Juan Jr and irritated at having made the effort to get out of bed for nothing Xavier mutters "Damn" when he realises that it is not Baby. As Martina and Juan Carlos had agreed a rotation and it was Martina's turn at the 'night shift' she tended to her son, while the remaining housemates returned to their bed. At 3.00pm Juan Jr is returned to his crib fed, changed and contented, his mother returns to her bed too tip-toeing so as not to disturb her housemates.*
*When another baby is heard crying about an hour later, Goran finds that it is Baby and he quickly feeds the child, and hurries back to bed. The next cry for help is the straw that breaks the camels back for Xavier, who can come to grips with his own baby's tantrums, barely, but is increasingly intolerant of the other two children. The noise is coming from Marat's bed and thus it is Markim. Xavier croaks; "Can you shut it the hell up" Marat cannot hear Xavier's lament and instead begins to sing a Russian child hood song to Markim to try and get him to sleep. Xavier feels like he is going insane; "God, what did I do to deserve this?"*
*From about 5 AM the housemates have the opportunity for at least a couple of hours of reasonable sleep, but by 8.00am when one of the babies begins to cry yet again, all the housemates have risen. Juan Carlos and Martina bath, change and feed Jr. Goran quips to Marat "My god...they could make a video on how to be the perfect parents". Marat agrees saying "I told you that boy is whipped, whipped, whipped". Xavier joins "yes...never mind double whipped cream, just call him double whipped Juan Carlos". But Goran is not so quick to dismiss Juan Carlos as a lost cause after the way in which he had reacted yesterday; "Something else is going on. Him and Martina are getting it on. He's not stupid, he is getting something in return. Maybe we are the stupid ones after all..he's more of a casanova than we took him for"*
*Marat spends the rest of the morning trying to be the model father, and as part of the challenge Kim is not allowed within 5 feet of Markim. As they watch Marat's changing of Markim's clothes, and his frequent cries of exasperation, Martina giggles to Goran; "Prepare to watch Marat go into meltdown...do we have any spare rackets that he can smash?". Marat omits to bath the baby as he tells the others that "He is plastic, plastic doesn't get dirty", and he is not keen to undo the good work he did with the masking tape this morning. Although he becomes increasingly frustrated with Markim's food demands, Marat dutifully and loyally sticks to the challenge that Martina had set.*
*Xavier and Goran have followed Marat's example in not bathing Baby, who is far and way the most neglected baby in the house. They feed her once in the morning but spend the rest of the day talking to a surprisingly relaxed Kim, free of the responsibilities of looking after Markim, about politics*
*At dinner, a cranky Xavier who hasn't handled the pressure of little sleep very well, explodes when one of the baby's erupts into a ballad of crying; "I have a just about enough of this. The next time I hear one of those babies cry.I am gonna..well.." His voice trails off. Marat quickly goes and attends to Markim. Marat's sterling effort has not gone unnoticed by Martina who is desperately waiting for Marat to slip-up*
*By 11 PM the housemates have spent most of the night playing charades, and the babies have been surprisingly well behaved with very few interruptions. As the housemates settle down and have some supper of biscuits and coffee, Martina is about to concede to Marat that he has won the challenge. Kim cannot wait to be reunited with Markim whom she had become quite attached to over the past few days. She is very proud of Marat's efforts. Realising that the challenge is about to end, she gets up to head to the bedroom to fetch Markim. Marat urges her to sit down; he will bring the little boy into his mothers arms. Marat comes back, cuddling his surrogate son. Just as he is about to hand Markim over to Kim, Martina begins her concession speech, albeit begrudgingly - she will have to make a speech praising men on Saturday. But all is not to go well, Kim tells Marat, "This isn't Markim" Martina stops short. The other housemates are in surprise. Marat is defensive "Yes it is..I.." Then there is the realisation that he had been caring for the wrong baby!*
*Martina of course is delighted and quickly loses her gracious façade, while giggling furiously; "You couldn't even recognise the kid. And you thought looking after a baby was easy. Looks like you'll be making a speech on Saturday." Goran and Xavier, who hadn't noticed they had a different baby as they hadn't bathed their baby that day either (following on from Marat's example), are laughing uncontrollably; "I always thought you were a bit of an airhead, but I this is the dumbest thing you have done!" says Goran as he punches Marat affectionately on the arm. Marat attempts to make light of the situation; " I had my suspicions that that baby didn't look like me, it didn't have the look of a Tatar.....I was going to demand a DNA test" Goran defends the fact that he and Xavier had also spent the day looking after the wrong baby by adding "All babies look the same to me with their clothes on". Goran, Xavier and Marat then collapse into fits of laughter on realising their mistake. Juan Carlos also thinks it is pretty funny adding; "Maybe Goran is the father of both, that's why both the babies look the same.". Kim however is not impressed by Marat's mistake saying "How could I trust you to look after our baby if you can't look after a doll.....". And she quickly hurries to go to bed, taking Markim with her. Marat is confused by her statement but is having too much fun to take it seriously at the moment and he and the boys then have a beer. Martina, feeling she has won her victory is grinning like the Cheshire cat and heads off to bed to make sure Kim is okay.*
*When the boys finally retire to bed in the early hours of the morning Kim is soundly asleep, and Marat lays beside her and thinks about her statement, they would have to talk in the morning. They needed their sleep, as did all the other housemates. But will the babies let them have it?*

DAY 64
*Once again it is a night of spasmodic sleep for the housemates, as one baby and then the other harasses their six repective parents. Juan Carlos attends to Juan Jnr as he feeds the baby and then when he continues to cry brings him back to bed to join himself and Martina. The three cuddle like a family, and Martina kisses Juan Carlos on the cheek. Meanwhile, Marat has replaced his cotton wool ear plugs and is able to sleep through the moans of Baby and Markim. Kim attends to Markim dutifully and then, unable to face the agony of further interrupted sleep, heads out into the kitchen for a midnight snack and then out to the chicken coop. It is a barmy night, and she watches the stars as she is holding Markim in her arms.*
* By 3.00AM, Xavier whose discontent had been gradually building over the last few days, has had enough of Baby disturbing his sleep. Without leaving his bed and still half asleep Xavier grabs Baby from her crib, removes her baby suit, turns her onto her stomach, opens up the latch at the back and removes the battery that keeps Baby alive. Xavier then chucks Baby back into the crib, shoves the battery underneath his pillow and promptly sails into back to bed.*
*With the three babies attended to (in different ways) the housemates are able to enjoy their first significant patch of uninterrupted sleep in what seems like an eternity. Kim retires to bed just after 4.00AM, feeling refreshed and revitalised from her few moments of peace and solidarity in what had become her "haven" in the Big Brother house. She is pleased to see the other housemates appearing to be sleeping quite soundly. She tucks into bed beside Marat and for the next few hours the house is unprecedentedly dormant.*
*It is 9.00 AM before the housemates begin to emerge from the bedroom, all the housemates are thanking their lucky stars for the relatively peaceful night. Juan Carlos giggles; "Who would have thought, that we would come to value sleep so much!". Goran says; "Never mind looking after the babies..We should be kissing their (the baby's) butts this morning for letting us sleep!" And he kisses Baby's butt in a gesture of appreciation. Martina, Juan Carlos and Kim all laugh. Xavier sits with a strained look on his face as he tries to feign a smile. Marat..well he is still in bed! Martina says; "Geez..she (baby) is so quiet this morning. I've never seen one of there babies so quiet before!" Kim giggles; "You must be a very good father!" Goran says; "For sure, I am the father of the year" and rolls his eyes "Maybe she is dead from mistreatment" he jokes "What do you think X-Man?" And he nudges Xavier jovially. Xavier contrives a giggle, which is uncharacteristic given his usual propensity to laugh uncontrollably at jokes; no matter how funny. Just then Big Brother calls Xavier into the Diary Room and Martina laughs; "What have you done now?" As Xavier heads to the Diary Room the remaining housemates fall into a discussion about what Big Brother wants from Xavier*
*In the Diary Room, Xavier is receiving a harsh scolding from Big Brother about breaching the integrity of tasks and thus is given his second warning in his time in the house. In an effort to be consistent in his punishment for misconduct, Big Brother dishes out the same punishment which he had earlier given to Martina; a 3 point penalty in next weeks nomination process. Additionally Big Brother tells Xavier that both himself and Goran are currently sitting on a fail for this weeks task, so they better show commitment over the next 24 hours*
*Meanwhile Marat has emerged from the bedroom after a night of much pensiveness and gestures to Kim that they must talk outside. The two head outside into the chicken coop and Kim explains how she had spent some time there earlier this morning with Markim; "I was out here this morning with Markim and it felt so real. One day when we have a baby.." Marat interjects; "Actually, that is exactly what I must talk to you about!" But Kim seems to have ignored his interjection and goes on about her fantasies, frustrating Marat; "I really want to be a mother.." Marat explodes; "Listen, last night when you were talking about 'our' baby, what did you mean? I mean, I haven't even done anything with you yet, so what is all this talk about a baby?" Kim replies, almost too cleverly; "Well, obviously once we are married we will want some kids....after our careers are over of course. Not to worry, we can discuss things when we leave the house". Marat is confused by all this marriage talk that had never crossed his mind before and he kisses Kim on the cheek "That's right, we can talk about it MUCH MUCH later" and then he moves dazedly away, as quick as he can. Kim returns to the kitchen to heat some milk for Markim giggling to herself*
*After he has relayed the story to Goran and Juan Carlos, Goran makes the blunt assessment; "Well my friend, marriage and a family - you didn't tell me things had moved on so fast". And he laughs. Marat replies "What the hell is she talking about .....marriage and kids - please I am only 22!". Juan Carlos needles Marat further and advises "I suggest you put things straight before she announces to BB that she would like to get married in the house". Marat is loosing his control and snaps "Look there will be no wedding and definitely no babies ok". Marat walks off to have a shower, none the wiser for the moral guidance he has received from Goran and Juan Carlos*
*At this moment, Xavier emerges from the diary room after spending much time trying to justify his actions to Big Brother. He ashamedly confesses his misdemeanour to Goran, Martina and Juan Carlos who immediately burst into fits of Laughter. Xavier blushes but then turns to Goran frankly; "We really have to try to look after her!" And he hands the batteries over to Goran who says; "No wonder she has been so quiet.she has been in a coma" The other three giggle. As he replaces the batteries, Baby immediately begins to cry, drawing a cry of exasperation from Goran, "I missed that sound NOT!!!" Xavier goes to the Kitchen and gets Kim to teach him how to warm milk to an appropriate temperature. At his first attempt, the milk curdles, to which Kim giggles. At his second attempt he get it right and Kim gives mock applause. Xavier smiles; "Now I am on the road to being the model father!"*
*In the afternoon, Goran and Xavier get together to look after Baby. Goran has thought up a quicker way to get Baby clean and suggests to Xavier "Instead of us bathing her, why don't we use a baby-wipe to wipe her over?". Xavier is impressed with this time saving idea and agrees. Martina stares in amazement as the two clean Baby from top to bottom with a wipe. Next Xavier attempts to put a new nappy on Baby, which he had tried to do several times to do over the past week, but never with this much determination or vigour. He is quickly confused by it's dimensions and and ends up putting the nappy on inside out and upside down. When Goran picks Baby up the nappy does not slide right off as it has in the past, but it begins to come unstuck around the edges. Goran laughs as he says "Ok...let's have another go at this". Juan Carlos is keen to help the two; "By the end of this you will be good fathers" When under Juan's guidance, Goran finally correctly puts the nappy on he raises his hands in victory then does a high five with Xavier - "We are the champions, my friend!"*
*Meanwhile Marat and Kim finally come back to the same wavelength in the afternoon, Marat tells Kim that he wants to spend more time with her, but doesn't want to get too serious; "We are both so young!" he says. Kim chuckles; "I was wondering how you would react! The truth is, I was wondering how serious you were. I just want to have fun with you as well. I don't want something serious..especially not in here. But promise me this.you will not just forget about me once we get out of the house. It doesn't have to end in here!" Marat smiles broadly; "I promise". The two lock in a passionate kiss*
*As the housemates settle down for what will be their final night with the babies in the house, Martina reminds Marat; "Oh Yes. you should be writing your speech correct!' Marat giggles; "Oh Just Shut Up Marti" Martina smiles; "Just reminding you!". Goran and Xavier have found making the effort to look after the baby surprisingly satisfying and they lie in bed with Marat and Kim, discussing tomorrows eviction. Goran for once is optimistic, even cocky "I'm not going tomorrow, how could I, Baby would be left with Xavier as a father!" Kim giggles; "The house is going to be even quieter after tomorrow, every week we lose a soul..it's a weird game!" Marat laughs; "There are three weeks left in the competition, that means I have three weeks to stay in the house before I am the winner!". Juan Carlos and Martina slip out for a late night Jacuzzi, the two who have spent most of the week playing innocent, strip off naked and can't stop kissing and canoodling in the warm bubbles; "I'm going to miss you so much if you leave" says Martina. "I'll miss you more!" replies Juan Carlos seductively. In the bedroom, the boys have turned to talking smut about what Juan Carlos and Martina are doing in the privacy of the Jacuzzi. Kim covers her ears; "Please, there are three babies in the room. You will corrupt their minds!!"*
DAY 65
*As if knowing that this will be their final night with their surrogate parents the three babies remain peaceful and rarely interrupting the sleep of the housemates. Goran is wondering whether someone else has taken the batteries out of the babies and he decides to check for himself, visiting the babies crib. While he is there, Juan Jnr begins to cry and he seems to be taking this task seriously, as well as looking out for Martina and Juan Carlos who had returned to bed quite late after their Jacuzzi romp, when he takes Juan Jnr out into the kitchen to feed him. Goran decides that it would be quicker to stick some baby formula from this morning into the microwave rather than make a fresh bottle. So he is not the greatest father ever - at least he is trying!*
*Baby and Markim each wake up once each during the night, but by the morning the housemates awake surprisingly well slept. But the good sleep can not erase the ill feeling that for one housemate this will be their final day in the house. After last night's antics, Martina and Juan Carlos' bond had been strengthened further and the departure of Juan Carlos would be a shocking blow to Martina's confidence. Over Breakfast, Marat decides to stay true to the punishment he had been dished for not succeeding in the baby challenge and gives a fumbling, bumbling speech;
"I know that women are the stronger sex. They are much more beautiful..and.ermmmm..most of them do not have hairy bums like guys. Women are very good at all the things around the house,...also they can do things outside like gardening..I think every man needs a good woman. Without a good woman, a good man would struggle to do all the things he does. Women can be very successful and very talented..look at Kylie Minogue..she shakes her butt..i mean sings and dances so well. It is obvious.women have so much more..errrrr...strength than men"
*Martina cannot stop laughing, it may not have been Shakespearian, and at times it may have lapsed into usual gender stereotypes, but it was an effort and that was all that really mattered. She kisses Marat on the cheek and tells him that she admires his sticking to his word. Goran calls out; "That was the biggest load of arse kissing I've ever seen!" All the housemates laugh!*
*Come midday it is time for the housemates to hand their babies back over to Big Brother and although they will be happy to return to normal sleeping patterns tonight, they will kind of miss their infant visitors. Goran chuckles and holds onto Baby tightly as Big Brother makes the announcement that all Babies must be returned to the diary room; "Nooooooooooooooo! Don't take my Baby away from me!" After each housemate farewells their child, Big Brother announces that all the housemates passed this weeks task - Marat by the skin of his teeth. *
*As attention turns to the eviction and the formalities such as Bag Packing and the making of video wills, tension grows among the housemates. All the housemates appear in good spirits but one would soon be gone, and the house's population will shrink further. Martina kisses Juan Carlos on the cheek; "If leave the house, promise me you will be waiting for me when I get out!" Juan Carlos nods and the two kiss*
DAY 66
*Martina is putting on a brave face after Juan Carlos' eviction; although he had been a mainstay of her time in the house she is determined not to fall part with the finishing line in sight; "We have three more weeks left" she tells Kim; "and then this will all be over, it has been great to have him in the house up until now, but I can last a few weeks without him......I hope!" Kim hugs her; "You are such a strong girl!".*
*Goran survived his sixth nomination and Marat has labelled him the "public's pet" considering the amount of times he has been nominated and not evicted. "They must really love you out there" he says. Goran giggles; "Who would have thought I would survive so many evictions.....I thought first week I would be out of here. Looks like everyone fell in love with my charm! " Marat confesses he is happy about the eviction result; "I like Juan Carlos, don't get me wrong, but losing you or Kim would have been a tragedy for me. So I have to be relieved while at the same time, a little sad."*
*Not for the first time in the past couple of weeks, Xavier appears at a loose end. He has been one of the few housemates who has failed to make any strong bonds within the house. He has gotten along with everyone just fine but aside from Justine and to a lesser extent Juan Carlos, his time in the house hasn't been marked by any cast iron friendships like the one's that have formed between the other housemates. He tells Big Brother this in his online diary ; "Maybe, being an intruder was tough for me. I had to come in here when a lot of friendships had already been made. But still now that Juan Carlos is gone; it feels like I don't really belong in the house anymore"*
DAY 67
* The housemates do not begin to stir until the late morning as they finally catch up on the sleep they missed during the week bringing up Baby, Markim and JC jr.*
*The housemates watch Juan Carlos' video will, and he addresses the housemates with the most touching address as he tells Martina that she is the most "beautiful girl" he had ever met. This brings a tear to Martina's eye. He tells Marat and Kim to stick together over the next few weeks, and for Goran to never stop making light of situations - that is what will get him though. Finally he tells his friend Xavier that they are very similar people and survival for him in the house will always be linked to being true to himself, even against the grain. These words seem to console Xavier's doubts about his position in the house. At the end of the address, Marat begins to clap, as does Goran and the four other housmates all touch martina affectionately*
* Monday is both nomination and task day and the housemates go out to the garden to lie in the sun as they wait for the familiar voice from BB. After being at the beck and call of the babies, never more than now have the housemates appreciated the freedom to do nothing. For the first time in weeks the house does not appear to have any bubbling sub-plots or tensions and the housemates can be forgiven for being complacent. Goran laughs to himself and Marat asks "What is so funny?" to which Goran replies "What boring viewing we must make.I mean who wants to watch 5 people just lie about a pool and do nothing all day?". Marat agrees and adds, "I think this is going to be a lazy day". Martina is in a good mood, Juan Carlos' address seems to have had a very positive influence on her, and she quips "In some matches you do nothing anyway Marat, so your fans will be used to it!". . Marat takes the joke in good humour and says "Very good....But can you handle this!" and he begins to tickle her and she giggles loudly*
At 3.00pm BB announces this weeks eviction nominees - Xavier, Goran(yet again) and Martina. Marat looks over to Goran and shakes his head in disgust, but his friend replies "Hay.if I didn't get nominated I would go into shock". Martina gets a hug from Kim who tries to provide words of comfort "I am sure that you won't be going". However Martina has found a new outlook on the whole BB experience and says to her new friend "Over the last week, and even before Juan Carlos left I realised that winning is not the most important thing about being in this house.friendship and finding oneself are more important things I have learnt. So if I go, I go". Kim gives her friend another hug at her brave words. Xavier is not surprised by his nomination after his Baby incident, but he is still slightly peeved as Marat didn't exactly do much in the task either and unlike Goran and Martina he has no one to provide words of support and comfort for him.
*The lazy day continues until 6.00pm when BB announces to the housemates that "For this weeks task you have 24hours to nominate a housemate - who or how you choose is up to you". On hearing their instructions Xavier expresses what all the housemates are feeling "Oh no not the Rich side/Poor side thing again.shit" and walks off. *
*Martina is keen to keep Xavier involved in the group and they have a quick chat in the bedroom. Both of them remember the cold, wet nights spent under the tents and this time Martina will not have JC for support, comfort and warmth. Martina encourages Xavier to come back to the group and discuss the situation. With all these things on her mind, Martina speaks out "Listen you guys I don't think that BB should be allowed to create a 'them' and 'us' atmosphere in this house" . If we don't nominate a housemate what is the worst thing BB can do to us..give us all 3 nomination points. I say we refuse to nominate". Xavier remembering those damp sheets is the first to agree "I am with Martina on this..let us stick together". Kim is not one for going against the rules and suggests "Why don't we nominate either Martina or Xavier, as they were on the poor side the last time, so this time they will be on the rich side". While Kim's idea is the most rational Marat has no intention of slumming it in a tent for a week if he can help it so adds his voice to the rebellion group saying " I think we should refuse to nominate too.after all as my good friends Anna says 'We are stars'". Martina reminds the group that this could be a completely different task than last time, with more serious ramifications, besides why would they want to divide themselves now? There were so few of them left anyway. Goran isn't bothered what side he is on but thinks refusing to do what BB asks will be more fun so sides with his friend Marat. Kim is therefore outvoted and begins to express concerns about what BB might do, but Marat reassures her by saying "Don't worry, there is nothing they can do to us", however Kim is still not convinced. Martina concludes, "So we all agree that tomorrow when BB asks us to give a nominee we will refuse?". Martina's statement is met with replies of "Yes" and a definite "Da" from Marat. Kim's yes is a little less definite, but is there all the same*
*The remainder of the day is indeed spent in lazy mood and eventually the housemates retire to bed with a common resolve - they would not be nominating anyone for the BB task tomorrow. However when push comes to show will the BB rebellion hold strong? *
