There are only two weeks to go and Bianca is gone. Ben says he has to stop losing friends as the crows are slowly diminishing. Brigitte wonders who is going to cook them yummy dinner now.

Big Brother calls Ben to the diary room. It's about what he said to Rory about the crows leaving and Big Brother gives him a warning about inferring how nominations should go. He skates thinly passed getting another strike against his name though.

Bianca delivers her message via the plasma screen. Her hand grenade is a wooden spoon to remind Ben how to spoon. He has to prepare all the meals and can only be helped by Cherry, Travis and Brigitte who have been slacking off in the kitchen.

Ben is in the diary room talking about Bianca now that she's gone. He's finding it hard to describe what's happening.

Big Brother tells Alice that she is safe thanks to Cherry's Friday Night Live twist of fate.

The voting board currently shows one housemate with 48.8% of the vote, one with 27.2% and 14.4% and 9.6& as the other two.

Big Brother tells Terri and Travis that they too are up for eviction.

Getting to stay in the house is Terri and Travis. Leaving tonight though, is Bianca

On Wednesday, Pamela Anderson is going into the house. That's not all though. There will be a snap eviction!

Everyone is reflecting on the dynamics in the house and how as the numbers shrink, people will have to vote for people that they don't necessarily want to see leave.

Brigitte is asleep and everyone else is out on the couch talking about her arse. Bianca thinks it's cute but Terri says she has stretch marks. The conversation turns to Travis' laugh and whether it is polite or fake. Rory is carrying Travis around upside down and he is squealing like a little girl. Rory carries him into the bedroom and Brigitte starts screaming at him to shut up.

Terri and Travis talk about the definition of tolerate and how it actually means that we don't like something but we'll put up with it rather than accept it.

Travis gets another hair cut but this time Bianca is taking to his hair. Brigitte cuts some lines in his head with a razor blade and he thinks it looks cool.

Bianca and Ben are chasing each other around the house and the others are wishing they'd just get a room.

The campaign to bring back the Bledisloe Cup to Australian shores begins tonight.

This week on MEDICAL EMERGENCY, doctors have to stop a man’s heart, a four-year-old has dropped an axe on his toe and a professional jockey has a horrendous accident.

A 43-year old man is suffering from a dangerously high heart rate. Mate’s heart is pumping at more than 240 beats a minute, nearly four times the normal rate. Attempts by trauma staff to slow his heart using the drug Adenosine do not work. If the second dose fails, they are going to have to take more extreme measures.

In Sydney’s St George hospital, four-year old Aden has been brought in by ambulance after dropping an axe on his toe.

A 25-year-old jockey has been flown to the Alfred Hospital after a fall during a trial race in Balnarring. Staff are concerned his painful ankle injury could mask the symptoms of something more sinister. Scans of Leigh’s neck come back and the news is not good.

In this week’s episode of RSPCA ANIMAL RESCUE, officers are called in to rescue a lost koala found wandering on the road.

Just outside of Brisbane, ambulance officer Amanda Yates attends the call about the koala but after locating the animal she struggles to catch it and transport it to the shelter for a closer inspection. It seems the koala is almost totally blind and has a host of other medical problems. It is transferred to the Australian Wildlife Hospital at Australia Zoo.

Following up on a report, Queensland inspector Sommer Heath attends a home where an owner is keeping her 12 Chihuahuas in small cages. The owner explains the dogs are very old so the RSPCA improves their living conditions so they have a better environment.
