Rory, Terri and Ben are sitting on a sofa in the back yard watching the credits roll on the large screen. It's going to be an action packed night. Kyle as arrived in his usual jeans, shirt and jacket.

The eviction board has the faces of the housemates up for the first time all season so we can see where things are at. Ben has 39.8% of the vote, Terri has 30.2% and Rory has 30% exactly.

Big Brother rolls out past winners of the show: Aleisha, Jamie, The Logan Twins, Trevor, Reggie, Peter and Sarah Marie (who is there in place of Ben).

Gretel sends a message from the set of the Rocky Horror Show in Sydney and wishes everyone well before we take a look at the last 24 hours in the house.

Terri can't believe she's still there. Ben notes that one of them is going to be incredibly rich tomorrow night.

Big Brother wakes them up for their last day in the house. Everyone gets a facial and Ben and Rory look like alien creatures from Star Wars.

The voting percentages are interesting tonight. 1 person is ahead of the pack with 29% of the vote while 3 have between 20% and 21.4% with one person on 8.9%.

The first person to leave Big Brother tonight is Alice. She gives her money to Travis which takes his total to $100,000.

Kyle and Jacqui O save Ben. He can't believe it. Joining him is Rory. The second person to leave tonight is Travis.

Ben, Rory and Terri can't believe their luck. Travis is not surprisingly hyper as he comes out to see the screaming crowd. Who is screaming more though?

Travis gives his money to Rory taking his money total to $150,000

They play Anne Hathaway's message to Travis which again sends him into his frenzied shrieks of excitement.

One more chance to vote. Remember, you're voting to evict.

There is only the weekend left. Ben slept pretty well after finally getting back inside after being in the Kombi for a while.

Travis talks about his journey of self discovery but Terri doesn't like hearing young people talking like that.

Travis is in the diary room getting some boxes from Big Brother. The others decide to hide from him. He comes out and is scared because he hates being left alone.

Alice and Rory talk about nature vs nurture. As Alice can't have children, she still maintains she wouldn't adopt. Rory's mother was adopted and he seems a little offended by her comments. Alice, being older, says that she's thought about this more before he'd even thought about sex.

There is a letter in the mail box that Rory and Travis built. There is an eviction notice to say they must all be out in two days. Ben, Travis and Rory laugh at Big Brother and joke that they got them.

Rory, Ben and Travis bring in the ironing but because they didn't wear their Iron Man costumes, Terri wont be getting her care package. Rory comes up with an idea. If they do a skit that makes her laugh then they will get her care package. It's pretty funny and Terri is well entertained.

This week's task is called "Iron Man". Everyone has outfits which makes them think they have a beach task but hanging over the backyard is a net with half a tonne of clothes in it. Big Brother tells them that they have to iron it all and fold it to his satisfaction. Ben and Terri are up first while Travis tries on clothing. His hairy rear end sticking out the back of a short girls uniform skirt is not a pretty site.

Everyone is running and jumping into the pile of clothes. Terri tries to copy her younger housemates and injures herself.

Ben is starting to get all nostalgic as it's the final week in the week.

Rory is called to the diary room while he's in the kitchen watching Travis cook. He has his food supplied and sarcastically thanks him.

Travis is cooking Broccoli and Cauliflower and burns it. Terri comes over to see him throwing it into the trash. Big Brother then calls her to bring him a salami and cheese sandwich.
