We have noticed a strange phenomenon in the Big Brother House. No, not what Callum was packing under his sailor suit on day 41. It’s something altogether more beautiful and harmonious. Wait for it...

Everyone is talking to everyone! Sure Callum and Dexter kind of hate each other but even they can talk if pushed.  Sure some tight personal friendships have formed – Sophie and the twins, Sam and Callum, Hazel and Dan – but these unions are not exclusive.  Day in, day out, the housemates sit down to a group supper, as if living in an idyllic commune. Insiders and Outsiders of last year have been forgotten as every evening housemates sit where they please in whatever groups happen to feel natural in the moment. They clearly lost the memo explaining that the Big Brother House is supposed to be a hotbed of divisions.

This isn’t to say the Secrets and Lies House is without its arguments – Charlie has shown great flair for offending Gina and we need not remind you of the ongoing feud between Callum and Dexter. It’s just that this batch are ever so good at bouncing back and getting on with things. By constantly reminding each other how lucky they are to be here, a constant perspective, call it a holiday mood, is never far away, no matter what additional stormy emotions bubble up in the course of a day.

Agree that this is the nicest House? Perhaps you think we’ve lost the plot. Either way let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

This morning, the housemates woke up still believing that the three Safe House inhabitants, Sam, Sophie and Dan, are safe from tomorrow night's eviction, and that one of their main House crew will be kissing goodbye to Big B's paradise shortly.

Perhaps inspired by Jack's Rylan-quoting "Drop Me Out" upon his conversation with Shane Filan, Big Brother tasked the twins with the unenviable challenge of carrying around a bunch of flotsam and jetsam, with the express instruction that they must not drop anything. Much like the game we used to play, where the floor was made of lava.

With Hazel having received quite a few less enjoyable parts of this week's shopping task, she believes that the public will be fervently voting her out and, spurred on by Dan's speculation, wondered whether Ginxter's meddling during their Safe House tenure might have set the public against her. Of course, she has nothing to worry about, because she's not up for eviction, but it was nice to see her in planning mode, working out what to wear tomorrow night.

Speaking of fashion, Jack got involved by wearing a lime green bikini. Because why not, eh? Why not?

As the evening progressed, the housemates discussed Twitter, Sam taught Gina a few words of Welsh and Dexter offered some media coaching. Indeed, they were all getting on so well, it rather supported our notion that this year's crop of housemates might just be the friendliest yet.

But for how long? With the task revealing public popularity, and tomorrow's eviction set to ruffle feathers, who knows what might be round the corner? We certainly don't

It's Friday and you all know what that means... it's time to kick another housemate out of the House! But wait – the excitement doesn't stop there, as the best part is that Sam, Dan and Sophie have no idea that it will fall upon one of them. We're predicting some very shocked faces. 

Cue evil laugh *mwahahahahaha*. 

So, you wouldn't want to miss the reaction from the latest evictee now would you? No you wouldn't. 

And if that wasn't enough to look forward to, we've also drafted in ex-CBB housemate, Danica Thrall, journalist Patrick Strudwick and last week's evictee, Jackie Travers to join the panel.

You don't want to miss it – see you at 10.30pm on Channel 5.

Big Brother can be cruel – that's nothing new. But putting up three well-liked housemates at once? That's separating the wheat from the chaff and then some.

We'll only have one winner when the final rolls around, so let's deal with the reality and think about which of this trio is most likely to leave when Emma speaks to the House this evening. As three potential winners, Dan, Sam and Sophie have barely put a foot wrong, but that doesn't mean there won't be detractors happy to pick up the phone to vote one of them out.

So what are the reasons your average voter might come up with to ditch the current Safe House residents? How are they going to feel when they find out? Who on earth's going to pack their suitcase for them?

Let's have a little butchers at their chances...

Dan

Our House detective is the most vocal of our condemned three and that's earned him a lot of fans. There's a distinct group that can't get enough of his enthusiasm, his wide ranging suspicions and that snuggly friendship with Hazel. As we've seen over the past decade and a half, a housemate with their head that high above the water is also likely to have made enemies out of some of the voters. The question is, will Dan's high visibility in the House contribute to the vote-to-evict numbers, or will loyal fans go out of their way to save him by voting out another?

Sam

The Welsh wonder did particularly well in the online viewer vote where he came second in the housemate popularity stakes. His honest chats with Callum have also stood him in good stead, while he's clearly a hit as a heart-throb for the teen female contingent. But despite all those plus-points, Sam's been overshadowed somewhat by the larger characters in the House. His pal Callum's been more active in romantic storylines and the twins have made more grabs for the comic moments. His huge likability may or may not secure him a pass beyond Day 44.

Sophie

Last but not least, our black belt in karate, Sophie, also faces a walk away from Big Brother life tonight. Once again, she's a housemate who's found herself somewhat adrift from the House action as the larger than life personalities surrounding her have grabbed all the main slots. But when Sophie's had the opportunity, she's been effortlessly entertaining. When her boyfriend visited the House, our hearts all fluttered at their lovely one-way sweet-talking – and who can be annoyed with a girl who gets the 'ump instead of throwing a tizzy?

We honestly can't call this one – but you can. In fact, you can call to evict, so if you want a say, get over to the voting pageand make your mark. The time is almost upon us.
