A RECAP OF THE ACTION ON DAY 9, AS THE GIRLS SETTLED INTO THE PALACE WHILE THE GUYS DID A BOOTCAMP.
Day 9 showed two completely different experiences: while the men could forget about eviction for thE week and focus on their task, the women pampered themselves and pondered who would be evicted after just one week.
Big Brother volunteered the male housemates to take part in a 3-day Bootcamp. The group split into two squads and selected squad leaders - for the red team, Leonel and for the green team, Jeremy.
As part of the task, the bedroom was divided into two defensive camps. The squads had to try to steal each other’s mascots, learnt a marching song and sequence and had a watchman patrolling the house from dinner to breakfast.
The Twin Twist was still part of the game - but the pair had a lot to catch up with at switch time because a lot kept happening in the house in the previous two days.
Edward had to remember the most basic things like where he must sleep, since the room was re-organised for the task. He also had remember who his teammates were for the task, new, old and fake alliances - all while not realising that some of his teammates were onto him.
By his own admission in his diary session, Kaone stuck out as being one of the quieter housemates. He hadn't made many friends, despite being courted to join the two alliances last week.
Although he'd originally leaned towards Jeremy, Kevin, Quinn, Itai and Wayoe last week, Kaone decided that the housemate that he's closest to is Kevin.
The other housemates were on high alert for opportunities to conspire, despite not having an eviction to worry about. Many of them were conspiring and acting as spies into the other alliances and it was unclear to see where anyone’s loyalties lie. One thing was clear though - some housemates did more work than others, and those that were working hard got fed up.
Jeremy was the first to hear female voices near the house - and let Big Brother know during his diary session that he thought he'd figured out BB’s game.
With all of this going on, the ladies spent much of their time pondering the looming eviction. Edna helped them bond while she gave them each a manicure, before they got down to watching the boys.
Talk inevitably turned to the lack of actual men in their midst – a similar conversation the men had during their first few days in the house.
