Orlaith has revealed to Big Brother in a Diary Room chat that her favourite Housemate is her eviction night rival, Science.

Despite the rows they've had, he's the one she most respects and sees as "the most genuine person" in the House.

Asked about his state of mind, Orlaith said, "I think he's nervous because I think he feels he's going," she said. I had a chat with him the other night to try to keep it cool and not be as loud. That's when people raise their eyes up, when he starts shouting. Yesterday he was at a nice level."

"Science is a really cool guy and has so much character," she continued. "He has annoyed me but I prefer him to everyone else. The way they've treated Science is pathetic."

Orlaith didn't have much good to say about anyone else, saying she was fed up with everyone and their "two-facedness". Makosi came in for special criticism.

"Makosi has changed," she said. "She's got back with Kemal, which I feel is a silly thing to do. He's spoken about her in the past. He's lied to her. I don't think Makosi is being her true self. It's false."

Derek and Eugene also came in for disapproval, as she sees Derek as being behind the silent treatment meted out to Science. "Derek has his followers. Derek's not happy when people speak to Science. I've seen Eugene follow Derek and do what Derek says, though when Derek's asleep Eugene will speak to Science. When Derek's about, Eugene slags him off."

As much as Orlaith says she wants to go, she reckons "[I'm] 95 percent certain I'm staying."
