16:20 The "offenders" have gotten over the embarrassment and with the whole house having learnt a lesson, conversation and laughter continues. But when is lunch ready? Sheillah?

15:24 It seems Biggie did not miss Samantha's conversation with M'am Bea in which a little too much was shared between the two lady. The ladies were reprimanded harshly by Biggie who showed the housemates evidence of the breach and went further to quote from the "rule book".

15:10 Housemates have taken a break from their discussions of their Extravaganza tasks and patiently wait for lunch to be ready...

12:20: Biggie announces the Extravaganza theme and it's PANTOMIME! This theme depicts a comedic play in a child-like setting. The lead role in a Pantomime is always male but must be played by a woman in this case.

12:00 A session that Kacey Moore started has got almost all the housemates in tears. Luis shared the roots of his insecurities and it turns out that the hotshots have similar stories to his too. Each has been sharing their own story.

11:50 Some memories of Lilian's "twerking".

11:40 It's Throwback Thursday and we look back at Lilian's "twerking"!
