No, No, No, No

The housemates have defied Big Brother by unanimously refusing to nominate this evening - costing one of them a special prize.

Daniel was called to the Diary Room after repeatedly refusing to name a nominee. While he conferred with Big Brother, the other housemates formed a plan.

Deciding not to make nominations, they speculated the consequences of their actions.

"I feel dizzy actually," said Stuart weakly, the tension becoming too much.

Shell branded it the "hardest thing". Jason then came up with an idea that they all vote for each other in a way that they would ensure that they all got one vote each.

A belligerent Daniel then emerged from the Diary Room - and still refused to play ball with Big Brother.

"Do what you want, guys, but that's my decision," he said firmly. But his cool façade soon cracked.

"I never broke a rule in my life," he admitted, shakily sparking up a fag.

Jason was next up to nominate. Ignoring the instruction he continued to chat. Again Big Brother told him to name a housemate. But the command fell on deaf ears and Jason too was summoned to the Diary Room.

"You got the message now, don't you?" retorted Nadia defiantly when asked by Big Brother to nominate. She eventually named Diandra, the garden statue, as her nominee when asked a second time by Big Brother for a name.

Nadia's refusal to nominate was accepted by Big Brother, prompting puzzled expressions from the housemates.

"I feel, like, really scared," whined Stuart after Shell too declined to obey Big Brother.

And as his turn to nominate arrived, he followed suit saying sheepishly, "Sorry dude - I can't nominate."

After a few minutes, Big Brother delivered the sting in the tail:

"Today housemates were asked to make one nomination. The housemate with the most nominations would have been presented with a special individual reward. As housemates chose not to nominate, no one will receive the special individual reward. Housemates are now free to leave the sofas."

"Do you mean we've gone through all of that today for that?" snapped Nadia.

But Shell didn't think they were out of the woods yet, murmuring, "One of us could still be going..."
