S9.E6 ∙ Day 7 - Secrets Revealed

Sat, Aug 18, 2012

The girls were asked to correctly match the seven secrets with the seven male housemates. The females were given four "lives" or chances but failed to guess all seven correctly. This means the male housemates will be immune from Day 8's nominations. As soon as the females had finished guessing, Big Brother announced that the Parlour was no more and the males were invited to the "Man Cave", the newly renovated Parlour. Upon entering, the males were told by Big Brother that like them, each female housemate had a secret. The task for the week would be to correctly match each secret with each female housemate. Correctly matching the secrets would mean automatic immunity for all male housemates at the following week's nominations.

Mon, Aug 20, 2012

Housemates learned they would have a total of five nomination points, to divide between two women. It was revealed later that night that Charne had received the most votes, with Estelle and Layla behind her. These were the three nominees for the week. Housemates were also given their weekly task this day called the Road Trip Task. They would have to complete a 3627 kilometre trip in a motorbike and side-car. Success will give housemates a luxury food budget. That afternoon while Michael is cleaning the fish tank, he hears a voice (Big Brother) who claims to be Surly, the fish in the tank. Surly gives Michael the task of hugging each housemate within 10 minutes, without them realising something is going on. Michael completes the task, returns to the bathroom, and Surly tells Michael to go into the Bedroom and "find the multi-coloured spiral ornament on the back wall. Grab hold of it and turn it slowly, a quarter turn to the right to be precise". Michael follows the instructions and inside is the Secret Executive Bathroom. It has a bath, shower, champagne, bath soaps and dressing gowns. Michael enjoys a bath before returning to the house.

The viewers then vote to decide who will be Evicted. The last person left wins the major cash prize. Big Brother is the original and unparalleled social experiment. For the most part, the Housemates are left to do as they please in a hyper-real environment largely unpenetrated by the outside world while everything they do is watched by cameras - and ultimately the public. Tasks constitute the only real interference with the Housemates' lives. Basic food and shopping money is provided for staples, however the Housemates have the opportunity of increasing their weekly allowance, or furthering their position in the game, by passing these Tasks. The action unfolds in real time. Everyday living combines with friendship, arguments, love, betrayal and despair to become the stuff of a real-life soap opera.

The nominees of the week risked eviction in the closest voting tally in the Australian series. With 32% of the public vote, Ryan was the second housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother House. Benjamin narrowly escaped eviction with 33%, and Bradley with 35%. Ryan was given a final influence to the housemates called the "Nominations Super Power". He gave the power to Estelle, giving her a mystery advantage for the next round of nominations. Before the end of the eviction, Sonia slipped a fake twist to cause paranoia into the House. She sneaked a line after talking to the real House that there is a House 2 who just finished their eviction. In reality, there is no House 2 and there are only actors pretending to be another set of housemates.
