The housemates are retaliating against Big Brother's decision to fail them for this week's task by not talking to each other.

But the all-seeing eye is playing them at their own game.

Yesterday, Stuart forewarned Big Brother of their planned silent protest.

And true to his word, the gang haven't said a word to each other since waking this morning.

But Big Brother isn't talking to them either - as Victor discovered when he attempted to have a chat in the Diary Room.

"Hello. Hello? HELLO?" he demanded, before stomping out.

In addition, Big Brother has denied them access to the Bedroom and Spa area, and has turned off the hot water supply.

The sounds of a screaming baby superimposed over car horns and road works have also been played into the House at random intervals.

You reap what you sow...
