Three facing public vote

Three housemates woke up to an uncertain future today after learning they faced the public vote to avoid eviction from the Big Brother house.

Kara-Louise, Jonty and Tracey are at the mercy of voting viewers after the latest round of nominations.

They will learn their fate on Friday evening, with only one able to stay for the show's final week.

The two departures will leave nine housemates - or eight if twins Sam and Amanda are counted as one person - slugging it out to win the show.

Student Kara-Louise received five nominations from fellow housemates, museum assistant Jonty got four while cleaner Tracey got three.

It is the fifth time Tracey has been up for eviction, the fourth time for Kara-Louise and the third for Jonty.

On hearing the news, Kara-Louise giggled nervously while Jonty sat stony-faced.
Tracey sighed, shook her head and said: "Five times."

Kara-Louise was nominated by Amanda and Sam, Brian, Liam, Ziggy and Tracey.

Jonty was put up by Amanda and Sam, Brian, Liam and Tracey, while Tracey was nominated by Carole, Ziggy and Kara-Louise.

News of the nominations failed to disrupt last night's other events - the drawing up of the shopping list and a posh dinner as part of the Finishing Academy task.

Brian was unhappy at the amount of vegetables being ordered for the final week's shopping, demanding the ingredients for a full English breakfast instead.

Liam was more concerned with perceptions on the outside of the house.

Comparing the current series to the notoriously dull 2003 version won by Scot Cameron Stout, he said to Brian: "Imagine if we get out and this Big Brother has been more boring than Big Brother 4."

When the housemates finally sat down for their formal dinner, some were uncomfortable with having to speak in a prim and proper way.
Liam asked his fellow diners: "Can we stop talking like this, please?"

Brian agreed: "Yeah, can we? I'm feeling really uncomfortable. I've never spoke like this in my life."

"We'll fail the task," Amanda told them angrily. "We won't pass it."
