The treasure hunters paused mid-dig to troop inside and listen to a message from their dearly departed Housemate Rhianna.
“Hi guys as you know I’m out of the House,” Rhianna sobbed. “[I] just want to let you know I had the most amazing two weeks in there.”
Her tears turned into full-blown sobs and the Housemates let a out a collective group “Awww!”
“Come on love, come on,” Terrence coached the screen.
“The House – I guess I expected it to be my castle. I guess it is a magical place and the first week was incredible with all the unexpected surprises,” Rhianna confessed, adding she just wished she could’ve gotten closer to more of the Housemates and heard more of their stories.
“Bianca, it took me a while to learn how to say your name properly, you are a beautiful girl. I can’t believe you’re only 18! You’ve got your life planned out and I know whatever you do, you’re gonna do so well.
“Ben, you’re gorgeous … Initially when I went into the House, I had my eyes on you – I thought you were a bit of a spunk, it’s amazing how things change in the House. You’re a gorgeous guy and you’re obviously going to be successful as well.”
“Oh,” Ben sighed, a little embarrassed.
“Alice – you’re tops. As soon as I walked in that door, you took me under your wing,” Rhianna praised the Vet. “I wish I had of had more time getting to know you.
“Travis! Good morning Travis! I’m going to miss you. You’re amazing. You’re so strong. And so happy. Travis, you’re Travis. I like that I got to meet you. I’ve never met anyone like you before in my life. You’re an amazing, just keep smiling in there.
“Terri. You’re so, so …” Rhianna searched for a word and Terri looked worried. “Un-negative. From the moment I met you, you’d come straight up to me and would tell me these huge stories about being a Mum.”
Terri smiled, proud while Rhianna continued to give her props. “And I enjoyed having those conversations with you and being able to relate to someone in the House about being a Mum and parenting and I’ve learnt quite a few things from you.”
But it wasn’t all sunshine and lollipops, as Rhianna moved onto fellow Intruder, Sexy Surfer Cherry.
“Cherry … My first impression of you was that you were a really cool, relaxed guy, like many of my male friends on the outside world,” Rhianna began. “However after being told that you hate me, total shock. Wasn’t expecting it at all, we’d barely even spoken at all. I can’t believe anyone is that judgmental. I just don’t think you’re cool.”
“Same, same,” Cherry said under his breath.
“You’re the only person in the House that’s playing the game,” Rhianna glowered. “Your little schemes to plan if you can get someone to come fourth, not cool again. Don’t know what game you’re playing at all. It’s not a nice one. I can’t work you out.”
Cherry had the last laugh. “You never will,” he said to Rhianna’s image on the plasma.
“Bridgey! Took me a week to warm to you. When I first walked in that door, you were the least welcoming in the House,” Rhianna said. “I actually thought that before entering the House we’d get along so well but couldn’t really get into a conversation with you. After I week I realized that you are Bridgey and you say how it is. And that’s what everyone in the House should do. I think you’re an absolutely amazing girl.
“Nobbi. I’ve never been told that I’m boring before. Thanks for that. But I’m glad after that family dinner we actually got to hang out a bit and I got to know you. You’re definitely someone I’m looking forward to hanging out with on the outside. You’re a cool guy. You crack me up. You’re absolutely hilarious. I’m gonna miss your Terrence conversation. You’re a champion and good luck with the Black Crows.
“Terrence! I don’t have to hear anymore of those stupid jokes. You’re a great guy. I really appreciated the effort you went to get to know me. To sit down and discuss issues with me, work out what’s wrong with me.” Rhianna broke down in tears again. “Sitting down and actually [talking about] why I can’t stay in a relationship or why I doubt myself so much.”
Finally, the message a certain someone had been waiting to hear. “Rory. Honey honey melon pie. I was scared of you when I first walked through those doors. You’re so tall. You’re so big.” Rory smiled as Rhianna continued. “I’m so glad I got to see the other side of you. I’m so glad that I got to snuggle up with you at night. And I’m so glad that I had someone like you in the House that I could trust, that I could tell everything to. Really, really enjoyed every moment that we got to spend together. I’m going to miss you. And we’ll definitely catch up on the outside.
“It was interesting how we got put into each others arms in bed. That was a nice little plan of yours. I’m glad you did it. I think we both know that inside the Big Brother House, it wasn’t reality. In saying that, I have formed a little connection with you and I look forward to getting to know you more and doing more stuff.”
Rhianna wasn’t finished yet, she had one more blow to deal the House!
