The Big Brother housemates have put forward Brian to face the public vote on Friday after concluding that Tracey was more worthy of Soul Guru status.

This week Big Brother has set a self-improvement shopping task for the housemates. On the third day of the Self-Improvement Task, the housemates were tested on the purity of their souls.

They were forced to come to a decision when Big Brother revealed the results of the Soul Test - telling the housemates they passed with 93 per cent true answers - but also announcing joint winners.

"Brian and Tracey answered all of their questions correctly," Big Brother boomed. "However, there can only be one Soul Guru. It is up to the remaining mortal housemates who also took part in the Soul Test to decide whether Brian or Tracey is most deserving of the Soul Guru status and will therefore escape this week's public vote."

Carole, Gerry, Jonty, Kara-Louise and Liam then each stood up in turn and had to say whether they would prefer Brian or Tracey to be their Soul Guru, giving full reasons.

Carole picked Tracey: "She's been up for public vote four times, she's been consistent throughout this House.

"She didn't lie about things, and I think the chances of the public ousting Brian are zilch."

Gerry also voted for Tracey, after mistakenly saying "Brian".

He said: "Trace has been up for eviction four times already. I don't think she deserves to pack her suitcase again, and I think Brian will survive the public vote."

Jonty and Kara-Louise also chose Tracey and again said that they believed Brian would survive the public vote.

"Don't say that," Brian frowned when he heard their reasons. "Don't jinx me! Famous last words. F****** 'ell, Friday kick Brian out!"

But Liam bucked the Tracey trend and decided to vote for his friend Brian as Soul Guru. "Brian mate, it has to be you. I said yesterday who I'd like to see be a guru, and I picked you. I'd be stupid to go back on my word now. Tracey, you're cool, you're in anyway you know? But Bri, I would have picked you definitely, mate."

"Cheers for that," mumbled a pleased Brian, before shouting jokingly: "You bunch of w******! I really know how you all feel about me now. This is not pukka!"

"Thank you all," Tracey smiled, as the housemates clapped and cheered.
