Marcus and Halfwit face eviction from the Big Brother House on Friday. After the housemates heard that they are lucky ones facing the chop, most of the House settled down to a bit of snipping about Halfwit.

In a conversation with Marcus and Siavash, Halfwit revealed that he's very confident that he will be staying in the House and doesn't think he will get nominated the following week. Meanwhile, the rest of the House didn't agree and continued to gossip about him.

In the early evening, the housemates were called to the Living Room to watch a horse race on screen for the Jockey Task, as part of the Great Britain Task. Unfortunately none of the horses that the housemates had bet on won the race. And so, you've guessed it - they failed, oh dear.

Halfwit was given the very British Task of holding a note on the bagpipes for 30 seconds. He managed to blow successfully and won £80 towards this week's shopping budget. Marcus and Halfwit aka the Bog Snorkelers still had the laborious task of roaming their way through the bog in the Garden every time they heard the song "We'll Keep A Welcome In the Hillside".

Elsewhere Rodrigo talked to Halfwit and told him why he nominated him. He said it was because of the rule-breaking. Halfwit said he didn't take it personally.

Bea and Lisa had a natter about who they wanted to leave on Friday. Lisa said she wanted Halfwit to go, as he is "a thorn in my side for no reason." Bea agreed.

Later, Bea headed to the Diary Room. She told Big Brother that it was a huge "sigh of relief" that David wasn't up. She talked about Marcus and Siavash creating a negative identity for her and says she hopes she isn't misrepresenting herself.
