If there is one housemate deserving of the moniker Mr Nice Guy, it has to be Luke A - but is he finally going to lose his cool.

Hot under the collar after being burdened with the identity of the curry powder planter, he is also struggling to deal with finding out not everyone is what they seem.

He has announced he is close to losing it and even walked away from the dinner table in what can only be describe as a 'bit of a man strop'.

As a scientist during the lab rat task it seems he found the Big Brother -like privilege of being all seeing – and hearing – a bit overwhelming.

Speaking to Becky in the bedroom he said, "It’s the fakeness that is getting to me. At first I could pretend it wasn’t happening. It’s weird for me. Usually I get on with everybody. I came in to be true to myself."

Becky offered a rare empathetic ear reminding him he wasn’t in the House to make friends.

We've seen him slip up occassionally but finally we saw him drop his guard. Unable to beat his backstabbing housemates, he decided to join them, letting Becky know what Caroline said about her ahead of the maze challenge. He said, "Benedict and I thought you and Caroline were friends but when we were in the task room we heard her say, 'I can’t believe they put me up against Becky. What an insult.'"Meow.

Big Brother has sent in cigarettes and alcohol. Will this fuel Luke A's fire or give him a chance to chill out?

Down the pub is not the place for a chat about religion, and it seems neither is the Big Brother House.

Shievonne was very impressed with Sara’s re-telling of, ‘the Jesus story’. We are not sure Jesus would be. You can judge for yourselves.

After a tipple, Sara launched into the lowdown on Easter. She said, “Jesus was there with his disciples, then one betrayed him and they put him on a cross and did things to him. Then he was dead and God said forgive everyone who was mean to him and he was resurrected and was in the cave and rolled the stone back. Then he went and helped people. Blind people. And that is the story.”

Got that. We are not sure she’ll be asked to do any history lessons or Sunday School PAs after her exit from the House, but none of the other housemates had anything to add. 

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Our cocky curry culprit has spilled the beans on his protein shake prank, adding Lydia to his chosen confidents.

Lydia was of course adamant she had guessed Benedict was the one who spiked Luke S’s protein shake with curry powder but still delighted in the news.

Joined by Luke A, the three scientists appeared to be forming a mighty triumvirate. Luke A was earlier involved in a bit of a one-on-one with his conscience but now seems to have given in to the devil on his shoulder.

So much so that he even has a little prank of his own to play on unsuspecting Luke S.

Check in tomorrow to find out if he can see it through.

It has been a silly day...  even by our standards.

The first count of silliness was news that less than four hours after BB announced that housemates could no longer talk about nominations, Caroline and Conor talked about nominations. They discussed Becky last night at 11.57pm and a transcript of their indiscretion was read out to a sofa full of housemates this morning. As a penalty the HMs were denied hot water. As a special penalty, Benedict tore into Caroline for which she later thanked him.

The nominated housemate had a fire in his belly andAshleigh was the next to feel it. Catching the animosity in the air were Arron, Conor, Deana and Sara who secretly dissed Luke S over his alpha style. Luckily, a little sunlight cut through this stormy weather via the news that Scott and Sara had both been awarded 2.1s in their degrees.

Education continued to be the theme with nominated housemates Lauren and Benedict assigned a Mentor task. Cue a lesson in sex education for Caroline, Sara and Scott and a karate class for Becky, Deana and Arron. Ha, hoo, ha!

Silly season began in earnest in the evening. First there wasthe mystery of the curry powder. Poor Luke S. He averted his gaze from a burlesque dancer only to have the resulting protein prize contaminated. And who was the culprit? Only today's king of sass.  Next chronologically and in ridiculousness was the dinner mess as Lydia and Shievonne saw red over Deana's "period" reference.

As night closed in and the drinks from task success flowed, our housemates cooled off in the pool. Will it wash off the thick coatings of silliness leaving pure and sensible people? Will it, 'eck. Arron has already outlined a prank for tomorrowand Luke S is still to discover the dastardly protein mixer. Stay tuned to the website to see all this play out.

In the dead of night, as you may already be aware, a small, rogue handful of housemates got busy causing kitchen chaos. Luke A, Benedict, Lauren, Lydia and Deana went about rearranging everything in the food preparation area to the point that it was impossible for the early risers to fix themselves breakfast. And the reshuffle has caused no end of confusion, with early speculation pin-pointing everything from paranormal activity to a housemate forced into a secret task when it comes to apportioning the blame.

Shievonne was up and out of bed first and, after fiddling with the shower for a little while to check the hot water wasn't magically back on, she made for the kitchen to find provisions and supplies completely relocated. Luke S followed her in to make himself a brew and was equally baffled. Shievonne assured him she was setting herself to Columbo mode and began muttering about 'dusting for prints'.

"I didn't watch all those episodes of Murder She Wrote for nothing", she said.

Soon Adam, Ashleigh and Becky all showed up and, opting for wild speculation instead of Sherlock Shievonne's more analytical approach, they wondered if it might be a poltergeist. Or a 'poker dice', as a confused Ashleigh had it. Either that or a sneaky and silent housemate doing a secret task, they reckoned.

So it seems the late night removal party's got a genuinely bamboozled response. The key to unlocking this mystery, it seems, is far from elementary.
