Confused housemates have an altitude problem

Big Brother continues to torment its housemates during Fake Week by flying an aeroplane carrying a message about 'another house'.

Contestants were called into the garden, under the pretence that essential maintenance needed to be completed in the house. An aeroplane started to circle, trailing a banner reading: "There is another house".

Big Brother ordered excited housemates into the caravan, amid screams of: "Oh. My God!" But Gerry was not so sure. "That's why we're in the garden," he said. Charley insisted: "Big Brother didn't set that up. That's someone flying past we didn't know."

Contestants also found themselves literally watching paint dry as a punishment for rule-breaking. Sam, Nicky and Liam faced the music as Big Brother provided them with three paint brushes. The housemates began by painting designs and writing their names.

But Big Brother boomed: "Housemates must not use the paint to communicate. "I've never watched paint dry before," said Sam. "I've watched nail varnish paint dry."

Chanelle, Charley and Gerry were confronted with three balls of string, a 3cm ruler to measure the string with, and blackboard to chalk up the results. "You've been stitched up like a kipper," said Brian, peering into the vestibule, adding: "Gutted Chanelle." "We have to measure it with this," said Chanelle, holding up the ruler in disbelief.

Big Brother's Fake Week will see Charley and Nicky facing a bogus eviction, while false housemate "Pauline" has left the house.

Tomorrow's eviction will see the housemate with the most votes go straight back into the house after being interviewed by Davina McCall. Big Brother bosses have been accused of deliberately engineering the process to keep Charley in and as a result, viewers watching.
