Day 44: Dating - in the dark
Sara wasnât put off by being presented with a rose from Adam's tracksuit bottoms but found men drinking wine from the bottle a real turn off.
She was the subject of Big Brother's latest task â 'Speed Haters' â a double edged challenge which saw Miss Edinburgh speed date each male housemate in turn.
Scott was up first and it looked like he would struggle not to be chivalrous. However, after failing to pour Sara a drink, she buzzed him off the date.
Conor sat down, stuffed a chocolate in his mouth and was dumped before he had a chance to string a sentence together. Likewise, Luke A's amorous efforts were short lived. Sticking a picture of his wife to his chest was always going to be a passion killer.
Sara found Adamâs floral gesture 'quite nice', but when talk turned to sex she started to doubt he was suitable suitor and, after he tipped wine straight from the bottle into his mouth, she called time on the date.
By the time Luke S's turn came around, Sara was looking pretty miffed and he told fellow housemates he would have to be a bit nicer to her.
Not only did our smoothest housemate pour Sara a drink, he hugged her and pulled out her chair for her. With Ashleigh looking pensive in the living room, his efforts to put Sara off included throwing a tiny paper aeroplane at her and managing not to talk about himself for a couple of minutes. In the end he informed Sara he was nervous because Ashleigh was watching so would prefer her to press the buzzer, although he would like to date her. It is a good think Ashleigh can't lip read.
Sara was thoroughly frustrated by the end of her session but saw the funny side when BB revealed the results of the task.
Scott managed 2.42 minutes, Luke S 2.22 minutes, Adam 48 seconds, Conor 24 seconds and Luke A 17 seconds.
Luke A won a lads' night in with beers, burgers, games consoles and the much missed table football, scoring a whoop of joy from Luke S and Conor. Shame the pair hadnât been a bit nicer to the other him in the past as it was a prize for two and itâs Adam who will be sharing it with him.
A victory for The Outsiders.
The video of caroline showing Conor her cards is trending as the most watched video on FB
Excellent news!!!!! I wonder if BB/Ch5 can get away with the deception for much longer, really hope not!
8.21pm: Adam and Ashleigh are cheering Becky up. She says her heart is in her feet

Saying 'holy mackerel' is one of Luke's favourite methods
8.55pm: Deana's going it alone this evening in a very subdued House. She's in the Living Area looking thoughtful

9.36pm: The lads night in has begun! Luke A and Adam look delighted to have some alone time.

10.49pm: Adam and Luke A are looking quite tired. They may have peaked too early during their lads' night in.
10.57pm: Scott's talking about his fondness for top hats. Why doesn't this surprise us?
11.10pm: Luke A and Adam find their second wind and are back on the console. It's getting competitive in there.
11.22pm: Conor now has jet black hair. He is looking quite Action Man right now. âŠ
11.36pm: Luke A is already missing the lads' night in. He's back in the garden with Lauren and Adam.
11.42pm: Conor's talking about what he'd do if he 'won a bit of money' from the show. Chickens: counted. Eggs: not yet hatched.
11.50pm: Luke A's telling Adam to let him know if he needs to make himself scarce when Lauren's about. Adam looks confused. âŠ
Me too Baz
Day 44: Deana time
If there's one thing we can say for sure about Deana, it's that she certainly divides opinion.
Picked at random on launch night, the girl from Birmingham was offered immunity if she chose to accept a nomination challenge. Perhaps it was that first night in the House that set the tone for her stay so far. Having gone for the bait, after an awkward meet-and-greet with each of her new housemates as they filed in one-by-one, she picked Conor, Victoria and Lydia to face the public vote. From there onwards, she found herself somewhere near the bottom of the pecking order and simply by dint of accepting Big Brother's deal she's been fighting back against the beaks snapping her way ever since.
Victoria wasn't too much of a problem â she was gone in a matter of days. Despite the nomination, a strange alliance was formed between Deana and Lydia, but it wasn't long before the dancer was walking out of the front door too. It was Conor that really took offence at that first night slight, and it's this that seems to have dictated the tone of the House ever since.
Lydia may have nominated Deana, but she still accompanied her throughout the first couple of weeks as the pair found themselves the subject of some serious disdain, principally from the newborn Insiders group. As time went by, Deana eventually allied herself with The Outsiders after a period of floating - though relations with Lauren remain strained. The simple fact is, Deana simply doesn't know who to trust â and she seems to take on board gossip as fact if she thinks she can trust the messenger. You can see her wrangling with fact and fiction like that on an almost nightly basis.
But Deana's ability to discern the truth from the tittle-tattle has developed over time. With Luke A and Lauren up for eviction on Friday, Deana's about to lose one of the few people she associates with in the House. She's recently grown quite close to Luke A, and her friendship with Adam has grown stronger since the pair of them announced they were going to 'become tigers'. But despite the dwindling number of The Outsider group, Deana finds herself, at last, with at least a small handful of friends.
Conor still dislikes her intensely, despite giving what might be construed as flimsy reasons to back up his case, and winning the other Insiders over can only be an uphill struggle considering all that's occurred. Deana's an isolated character â an outsider's Outsider. She has a legion of social media fans, but a fairly large pool of detractors. It's been a struggle for the Brummie since opening night, but so far she's dealt with the challenge pretty admirably. But can she keep up the fight until the final?
Deana fans better keep watching if they want to find out for sure.
We'll be taking a look at all the housemates over the course of the series (unless they get evicted in the meantime).

11.53pm: Luke A and Adams' awkward Lauren chat is interrupted. Ashleigh, Caroline, Scott and Sara join them in the Smoking Area.
11.58pm: Deana feels 'clueless' after Scott gave a few HMs a history lesson. Lauren says not to worry - she excels in other areas.
12.03am: Adam's picking fault with Deana's bedroom cleanliness again. More flirtation than nit-pickery, we reckon. âŠ

Day 44: Stark staring mad
What better way to pass a drizzly Wednesday evening than with some hardcore eyeballing?
In the midst of a Smoking Area chinwag, Adam and Ashleigh decided to throw one another some serious evils as a staring contest was declared. Eyeball to eyeball, the pair of them played hard. By the time they'd finished, there wasn't a moist eye in the House.
Check out the gallery to see who spied and seized victory!
A staring contest is announced and Ashleigh's more than game
Adam scoops up the gauntlet and peels back his lids
The pressure intensifies as Ashleigh ups her game
Adam goes for broke and pulls out a killer boggle-eye trick
Ashleigh stays cool, narrows her lids within allowable parameters and stares like she's never stared before
It's all too much. Adam crumbles and hands Ashleigh victory
Ashleigh basks in the glory of eyeball victory
Luke A enjoyed the blink-and-you-miss it show
