She tells Ulrika that it is a really good thing because she hasn’t been able to care about anyone else and this will help her to move on. Ulrika tells her that it has been a “huge positive” then.

Brian is in the Bathroom. “Oi, trolly dolly”, says the Tree. Brian is set a task in which he has one hour to get three housemates to confess that they are the most famous person in the house. As Brian leaves the Tree calls him Eamon. Brian sticks his finger up at the Tree.

Brian sets out on his task trying to get Ulrika, Nadia and Nikki to try and admit that they think they are the most famous housemates. None of them say they are or think they deserve to be in Ultimate Big Brother. Brian gives up after failing with Ulrika. “I think Victor is on a secret mission asking me lots of questions”, says Ulrika. Brian tells her she should play the game. “There’s no I in team, Ulrika. That is why you are nominated”, he adds.

Brian has been called to the Diary Room. As punishment for failing his secret task Brian reads a bedtime story to Big Brother which he doesn’t realise is being used by Big Brother to edit him badly. Brian doesn’t know that he has been edited to say, “please don’t vote for me… I’m in it for the money… I am fake and a liar.”

In the Living Room Nikki asks Nick why Ulrika has turned on her saying “I thought she was my friend”. And that she sees her pulling faces at her now. Nick tells Nikki that it could be because she changed her mind a lot, especially when it came to her being a chorographer during the task. Nick tells Nikki that she might be pushing the “wrong buttons” with Ulrika. Nikki tells Nick that it is making her paranoid and she knows she is hard to live with but she has been trying very hard to “keep schtum”. Nick tells Nikki to just be nice. “If you don’t get nice you won’t give nice back”, says Nikki.
