Week 7 Highlights

Task

This week's task saw a huge fight break out between the housemates. The task was meant to be a physical endurance task; with housemates having to run relays around the garden, if they completed the entire task in under thirty minutes then they would win extra money on the food budget. Stacey was meant to pass the baton to Kerry but claims she missed her footing and slipped into Kerry, causing both to fall over and Kerry to hurt her arm. The two got into a serious verbal fight and nearly came to blows with Kerry claiming that Stacey did it on purpose. The fight escalated; with Novo sticking up for Stacey, claiming he saw her trip and it was actually Kerry's fault for not being aware of what Stacey was doing behind her. This prompted Shaun, Stu and Jessica to stick up for Kerry. Ninastar, ukturtle and arista watched from the sidelines; Ninastar at one point hid her head behind arista who looked fetching in a green morph suit. Eventually, ukturtle sided with Kerry; while arista stuck up for Stacey claiming that it was unfair for five people to gang up on two, in particular he blamed Stu for causing the problem to escalate. Ninastar swayed between the two sides, but eventually stuck with Stacey because she too believed it was unfair for them to gang up on her; though she remained wary of arista because he made her feel uneasy.

Eviction

The public felt sorry for Stacey this week, because the jury was still out as to whether she slipped or whether she bumped into Kerry on purpose - it was clear however that it was largely Novo's fault that she was up for eviction, because he became confrontational with Kerry. Stacey did however have a lot of haters due to her perceived bullying of Jessica, but Novo similarly had bad press. Novo was evicted with 58.56% of the public vote. He publicly backed Stacey to win in his eviction interview, claiming that she was the only housemate worth watching. Stacey looked shocked, as she expected to be evicted, and many of the other housemates were in disbelief that she had survived; Shaun screeching "****ING WHAT!?" at the result, getting him into serious trouble for swearing live on TV and getting him banned from nominating in the next set of nominations.
