4.21pm: It's the second day of the food budget task and Dennis and Rachel are given their instructions by Big Brother. They find out that if they fail the task each housemate will only receive an allowance of £1 per day, but if they win they each get £5 a day. Dennis and Rachel's task is to hold together a two handed wand that they must guide around a giant, complicated wire track, spread throughout the house. Every time the wand touches the wire, a buzz will sound and they must return to the beginning and start again. If they manage to get to the end of the wire without buzzing within two hours they will win a luxury budget of five pounds per head per day for the group. But in an evil twist, the rest of the house will be wearing muscle stimulating pads. The other housemates will be permitted to watch Rachel and Dennis do the Giant Buzz but must go about their daily business. Each time the wand touches the wire, the other housemates will get a buzz on their bums.
5.40pm: All the housemates are wearing their metallic coloured lycra bodysuits and 'bum buzzers'. The housemates are apprehensive about getting their first 'bum buzz'. Alex says, "We will be fine … there's no need to be nervous". Dennis and Rachel make their first mistake and the housemates receive a 'bum buzz' - they jump up in surprise and laugh. Alex says, , "At least we now know what it feel's like, it can't get any worse". Dennis and Jennifer attempt to follow the wire but keeping touching the sides causing the housemates to receive more 'bum buzzing'. The housemates jump up and scream. Jennifer says, "I didn't think they would make so many mistakes". Kat starts to cry.
5.59pm: Sylvia and Kat are feeling the pressure and start to cry in anticipation for when they will next get 'bum buzzed'. Dennis and Rachel persevere with the task with Rex guiding them on. Jennifer tells Dennis and Rachel that people are 'crying in pain' and 'can they try harder'. Rex remarks that the feeling is quite funny and he rather likes it.
6.08pm: Dennis and Rachel have been taking part in the Buzz Task for 28 minutes. The housemates are still receiving 'bum buzzes' but starting to get fatigued. Alex says, "This is not humane, I'm more than happy to starve". Some of the other housemates agree and say they don't care about the amount of food they receive anymore. Mario goes into the garden and instructs Rachel and Dennis to stop as the housemates aren't happy. Luke asks them if they think that they can really pull this off. Mario calls a house vote and they all decide to continue with the task and not to give up just yet.The housemates continue to get 'bum buzzed'. Alex claims to the other housemates that although she's endured the pain of childbirth and has a high pain threshold she's had enough and decides to take her bodysuit off. Sylvia follows suit. Rex tells Alex that's she's given up too easily. Alex argues back asking Rex how does he know what her pain threshold is. Rex replies, "You are being a baby".
6.32pm: As Sylvia and Alex have taken off their bodysuits and dropped out of the task, the housemates have now incurred two fails out of a possible three. Kat is in the Diary Room talking to Big Brother. She's worried that if she sits down she will receive a 'bum buzz' so she decides to stand. Although she wants the task to finish she is determined to carry on to 'help out her friends'.Alex and Sylvia are talking about the spat with Rex over quitting the task. Alex says, "I don't give a s**t what people say, I would rather live on rations".
7.36pm: Dennis and Rachel have five minutes left to finish the task. They nearly make it to the end but touch the wire in the final minute. Determined to give it one more go, Dennis and Rachel go back to the beginning and Rex asks all the housemates not to take their bodysuits off yet. But they run out of time, therefore the housemates have failed and will only receive £1 per day each for their weekly food budget. Dennis is frustrated at losing the task and is crying in the garden at the ashtray. Alex and Stephanie console him and assure him that it wasn't his fault. Alex says, "Don't worry we'll get through it" and Stephanie tells him, "You tried your hardest … no one thinks anything less of you".Rex joins the three of them at the ashtray and lights a cigarette. Alex accuses him of touching her lighter without permission and tells him she thinks that he has a personal vendetta against her. Rex retorts back, "No I haven't" and walks away. Alex calls him a 'loser' as he walks back to the house.
7.59pm: Alex is in the Diary Room talking to Big Brother. She tells BB that Rex is 'p***ing' her off and that he is 'dictating to her' and she's not happy about it. She explains that normally she would've gone into a bigger argument with Rex but she has taken on board what Big Brother said earlier in the week and is trying her hardest to curb her anger and resolve matters with her housemates. She starts to cry and says, "I just don't know who he thinks he is … taking my things. Everything I have I've earned".
8.51pm: Rex, Dennis and Alex are at the ashtray. Alex tells Rex not to touch her things anymore as she feels 'violated'. Rex says agrees and the argument is resolved.
9.36pm: Dennis is in the Diary Room. He tells Big Brother that he was upset earlier but now feels much better. He admits that he hates failure and it hurt him when certain housemates didn't think he was up to the challenge, especially Lisa and Mario.
11.02pm: Alex, Lisa and Mario are discussing Stephanie. Alex says, "She's definitely got some kind of plan". Mario tells them that he is disgusted in the way Stephanie speaks to him. Alex agrees, "I was always told to respect your elders". They all agree that she needs to glam up and take more care of her appearance as she is only 19 years old and 'letting herself go'.Lisa, Luke, Mario and Stephanie face eviction this Friday.
Voting lines are now open.
