BOTTOM THREE
The Eviction Room was back in all its ominous glory tonight.
Housemates looked nervous and on-edge as Big Brother announced that the Bottom Three HMs was comprised of: Ben, Rory and Travis.
The terrified three took their spots on the Eviction Hot Seats – Ben wringing his hands, Rory contemplative and Travis gobsmacked.
FNL WINNER’S TWIST
Called on by Big Brother to declare who she wanted to save using her FNL Winner’s power, Rebecca was unable go with her original impulse that she’d shared with Brigitte only two nights before: herself.
Now that she knew she was not part of the Bottom Three – votes having changed drastically over the weekend - Rebecca had to think fast.
“I choose to save Travis,” Bec decided. “Simply because we are very very close. Even from the start, we have a lot in common. We’ve become very good friends.”
Travis looked relieved while Ben and Rory (who seemed to know which way Bec’s lifeline would swing) seemed resigned to their fate.
As Travis crossed back to his seat, Bec shot The Voice a friendly wink. He was safe.
Rebecca, however, was not. She was the fourth Housemate with the least number of votes to save, dropping her into the Bottom Three.
NOMINATIONS
David
Two Points: David. “He’s probably one of the only few HMs I have struggled to get close to. He’s a bit more quiet and reserved than the others.”
One Point: Rebecca. “This week I haven’t seen a lot of her. She spends a lot of her time in bed … it’s much harder to make a connection.”
Brigitte
Two Points: Ben. “I would like to give two points to Ben. He’s annoyed me over the past couple of weeks … just like what he said at the family dinner, just in general the way he talks to me.”
One Point: Rory. “I would like to give one point to Rory, some of the things he says to girls are disrespectful to girls sometimes.”
Terri
Two Points: Ben. “I find he gets hurt quite easily and he doesn’t mix with the other boys as well.”
One Point: Rebecca. “Although she’s a sweet lovely girl, I find her sweetness a little bit too unrealistic.”
Nobbi
Two Points: Rebecca. “She is a very nice girl and genuine. But for the House all she does is exercise, talk about exercise and her boyfriend … She doesn’t add anything to the dynamic.”
One Point: Ben. “I get along with him great, good friend of mine but I’m just closer to Rory.”
Bianca
Two Points: Rebecca. “I don’t believe that she wants to be here as much as the other two boys. Over the past several days she’s talked about wanting to leave … I don’t think her motives for being here are as strong as the other two boys.”
One Point: Ben. “I really, really, do enjoy the guy’s company this is - Out of him and Rory I’ve had more of a connection with Rory, although I’ve had a lot of conversations with Ben I don’t believe our connection is as strong as the one with Rory and sometimes Ben has said some things which have offended me.”
Alice
Two Points: Rebecca. Alice chose a tactical vote. Thinking that people would not vote for Rebecca, she chose the Skimpy Waitress as her two point nomination for Eviction.
One Point: Rory. For much the same reason as Rebecca, “One point for Rory because I don’t think as many other people will vote for him.”
Dixie
Two Points: Dixie. “I vote to Evict Rebecca. Purely for the fact for the past three or four days, I haven’t gotten on with her very well and I’d rather not live with her.”
One Point: Ben. “Because he snores all night and keeps me awake.”
Nathan
Two Points: Nathan. “I give two points to Bec. In a lot of ways she’s got one foot stuck on the outside which has restricted her from being herself in here … I want people to be real.”
One Point: Ben. “Toss a coin? Ben because I really like Rory.”
Renee
Two Points: Rebecca. “I vote for Rebecca. Purely because she’s been off with Brigitte … she’s just been distant.”
One Point: Ben. “I get along with Rory that little bit more better than him.”
Travis
Two Points: Rory. “I just feel that out of the three up there, I feel he says the comments that confront me the most.”
One Points: Ben. “I feel that he doesn’t Benny-Boo-Boo enough. And sometimes when I say it, I think he takes it the wrong way. Sometimes he ignores my statements.”
SAY GOODBYE TO …
Waiting nervously outside the Eviction Door: Ben, Rory and Rebecca looked fondly at their newfound family, knowing all-too-well that these loving glances might be their last.
First Kyle announced who was safe from this week’s Eviction: “Rory, you are safe my friend. You can sit down.” High fives abound as a visibly relieved Rory took his seat on the lounge.
And then, after what seemed like an eternity, the painful shot was fired by Jackie, “Rebecca.”
Housemates, who had previously been restrained to the couch, jumped up to say their farewells. There were hugs and tears as each HM crowded around to quickly give their last words to Rebecca. Travis clung to Rebecca, but she soothed his tears. “I’m happy, I’m fine,” she said.
Unfortunately, there just wasn’t enough time for the Housemates to comprehend this shocking news and as Big Brother ripped Bec from the Housemate’s grasp, she offered the group a brave little smile.
The Eviction Door slid closed and she was gone, Rebecca was lost to the House forever.
BOTTOM THREE SECRET BALLOT VOTES
Rebecca
Four Points: Rebecca. “For four points I choose to evict myself. Personally because I am much more ready to leave than either Rory or Ben are.”
Two Points: Ben. “I give two points to Ben, simply because I have not gotten to know Ben, we haven’t had a lot of conversations and we haven’t had a lot in common.”
Rory
Two Points: Rebecca. “Don’t get along with her as well as I do Ben and she’s not me.”
One Point: Ben. “Ben because he’s not me.”
Ben
Two Points: Rebecca. “Because of all the beer stealing stuff. Paired up with Brigitte, it created segregation and it was counter-productive to the group dynamic.”
One Point: Rory. “Because he doesn’t help out with housework as much as the other Housemates and doesn’t contribute as much in that respect.”
