Shabby, Ife, and Caoimhe are in the bathroom

Shabby says the nominations punishment is affecting her a lot. She maintains she was only talking about Steve as an example. Rachael suggests talking to everyone and saying that she feels victimised.

Shabby walks into the kitchen and asks for everyone's attention. She explains that she's going to be punished for influencing nominations and she wanted everyone to know the context under which it was said. She says that what the housemates think matters more than what the outside world thinks because the outside world does not understand what it's like living under the Big Brother rules.

Ben, Mario and John James are in the bedroom.

Ben explains that Mario has told him to be careful about not finishing the milk at the bottom of the cereal bowl, and that some girls might hold it against him and use it as an excuse to nominate him.

Mario says that everything you do in the house becomes magnified.
