A yoga session in the garden opened the floodgates of House emotions.

Sam had Harvey and Ashley realigning their chakras in the morning sunshine and instructed them to take in all the information they need on their in-breath and breathe out all the negative energy. A metaphor for housemate life perhaps.

After the session, the bad vibes continued to be spilled as the threesome took stock of the situation in the House.

Samantha said, "The atmosphere was like treacle last night. More conversations stop when you enter the room. That’s going on more and more. And a lot of people are justifying themselves. I think I’ve been true to myself. I think I came in the same person as I’ll leave as."

Harvey and Ashley agreed that there was no denying Sam's analysis. The threesome all feel they are in the minority as not only the most chilled in the House (the yoga's gotta help) but also among the few without a game plan.

Harvey said, "I am who I am. Maybe if you caught me four years ago and I didn’t like someone I might have made it obvious. But now I’m comfy in my own skin. I’ve flushed that s**t out of my system."

"I said to Julie, the final four will be you two, Julie and Martin." The boys didn’t disagree.

Do we believe them? This mutual appreciation society looks genuine but are they just telling each other what they want to hear?  Is anyone going to actually admit to having a game plan?

This time yesterday, the House was divided into Gods and Mortals with the latter using their absolute power to control the former.  But now the divide has melted away leaving only the prize of a luxury shopping budget as a reminder of the two-day task.

Despite an eviction lurking at the end of the day, the housemates have been on relaxed form. As Danica, Rhian and Sam got ready earlier, the female portion of the contenders for departure seemed excited. Sam is looking forward to seeing her dog while Danica will cry at being reunited with her family. Rhian? She’s looking forward to not budgeting for cigarettes.

Of course, as dumped parties always claim they were about to do the dumping, nominated housemates are always hankering for the outside world. Yet in this case the serenity felt real - perhaps it was all the positive energy generated bySam and her yoga classes.

Almost everyone has exercised today, either huffing in the gym, leaping about the garden or joining in Sam’s spiritual practices. Lolling on loungers and shopping-list writing has been the other activity of choice. This latter task can often prove decisive but this group’s shared desire to live the healthy dream has led to synchronicity. Watching rapper and former badboy, Harvey agreeing that maybe peaches are too soft and will get bruised was a personal highlight.

There’s been a tiny bit of sniping from Coleen and Rhian who – in time-honoured smoker tradition - are worried about the cigarette count. But rather than make waves they’ve retired outside, joining The Situation who has confirmed to Rhian that he and Danica are pals again.

Will this new serenity last the day? Even so, with nominations in the pipeline for this evening, it won’t be long before there are new tensions polluting the good vibes. Let’s just enjoy this while it lasts. All together now... Ommmmmm.

We've seen Big Brother attempt to stir things up through a series of tasks and although there have been tiffs, most housemates have remained on their best behaviour. We wondered what it would take to seriously rile them. Oh how short our memories were...

With the shopping list came the age old house divide, cigarettes or food. The non-smokers fronted by Sam and Martin wanted to fill the fridge with fillet steak and salmon whereas the puffers led by Coleen, considered they had more than enough to eat for the next week but were well down on smokes. 

Echoing our favourite fag fan Lauren Carre from BB 2012, Coleen said, "If I'd known cigarettes would be in the budget, I wouldn’t have given all mine away. It’s the non-smokers who are bothering me.

"I wouldn't mind [them not ordering 'enough' cigarettes] if there was hardly any food in the House. There’s 20 loaves of bread, 12 hotdogs. Rump steaks are £15."

She wasn’t finished yet.

"If Sam goes tonight who will cook? I can cook simple things but I wouldn’t know what to do with paprika."

Smokers Julian and Rhian agreed that they too were foxed by the purpose of that spice. "Do you just sprinkle it over?" pondered Rhian.

"Perhaps we should be more aggressive," suggested Julian half-heatedly showing no signs of shifting from the smoking area.

With Harvey, Sam and the chalk board safely ensconced in the Diary Room the complaining continued.

Danica whined, "The shopping is all around what Sam wants."

"On Sam’s behalf, she has been doing the cooking," offered the Prince leaping to her defence.

"The food has been amazing but it’s all been domineered over by one person,” continued our glamour girl, undeterred. Will she be rolling her sleeves up and whipping up a wholesome feast this evening? We won’t be holding out breath.

Julian mused, "I’ve seen this conflict before..."

And so have we. If old housemates are anything to go by, we won’t have heard the end of it.

Bit on the Side presenter Alice Levine made a surprise appearance in the House when she set our celebs a secret mission.

Coleen was called to the Diary Room where she came face to face with a lonely garden gnome called Norman.

As the voice in the Diary Room, Alice tasked Coleen with keeping the fabled creature safe and to showing him some good old-fashioned BB hospitality during his stay.

Sounds a bit too simple doesn't it. Obviously there was more to it than that.

Martin and Harvey were summoned to the Diary Room where Big Brother told the pair that they must secretly gnome-nap Norman.

If Coleen manages to keep hold of her gnome then Martin and Harvey fail the task and will have to wear gnome costumes and sit by the pool for an hour as a punishment.

However, if they are able to wrestle Norman from Coleen's company then she will be dressed as a gnome instead.
