Big Brother is literally trying to give money away at the moment, but the stubborn housemates are having none of it.
After Marcus's refusal to shave off his ponytail (sorry, his Tennessee Waterfall) for 15,000 big ones, the housemates proceeded to knock back another of Big Brother's attempts to give them cash.
Big Brother's latest offer was £1500 – if the housemates swam 1500 lengths of the pool. But the housemates turned it down, saying they're not interested in money but would have done the Task for a party or a takeaway. £1500 would buy you a lot of takeaways, housemates.
But 10 minutes later, Rodrigo and Charlie started trying to persuade Lisa and David to give the swimming challenge a go – to no avail. Do the housemates really not care about the money, or are they just lazy? You decide...
Later, Sophie talked to Marcus and Siavash about her talents, which apparently include her superior knowledge of celebrities. Marcus and Siavash then gave her a little quiz, but sadly Sophie fell at the first hurdle when they asked her about Barack Obama - she didn't know who he was and couldn't pronounce his name. Don't worry Sophie, he's not that big a deal really...
Siavash told the group he doesn't care if he gets evicted tonight because he'd still have the £10,000 from his Task. Er, no Siavash, that money actually goes to the winner. Oops. He went on to tell everyone that they were welcome to the £20 Big Brother had added to the prize fund, but that he would be taking his own 10 grand home. We'll see.
Later on housemates played the Big Brother classic: Truth or Dare. There was lots of man-on-man kissing, including Rodrigo and Charlie, David and Siavash, and Marcus and David. Romantic. Siavash also had to brush his teeth with chillies as part of the game. Lisa watched from the sidelines but didn't take part in any of it – we don't blame her.
At 23:24 the tipsy housemates attempted to repeat their stunt of escaping into the camera runs, but this time Security stopped them at the Garden door and sent them straight back in. Housemates, you might trick Big Brother once, but he won't let you trick him twice.
In the early hours, Lisa and David headed to the Diary Room to ask if they could swap a token for some hot water. They were feeling a little resentful of the prize money being taken away, and told Big Brother it's not fair that they're being punished for something they weren't involved with. Of course, they're not interested in the money. It's just the principle they care about. Yeah right...
