An emotional episode tonight, a combination of highlights and an eviction saw the prisoners released and all received letters from home. Unfortunately Pete being a former prisoner (he swapped places with Richard before knowing about the secret beach) wasn’t allowed his letter and he took it hard.

Richard heard that his mum was surviving Chemotherapy and Glyn that his family were proud. The rest of the house mates were in tears as the letters were read. Quite easily the most emotional part of Big brother this year.

On to the eviction, the result was expected and we saw the back of both Spiral and Michael, both receiving the fewest amount of save votes from the public. How the hell Susie can still be in the house after all she does is drink tea is beyond me. I’ll be glad when she goes, she certainly doesn’t deserve to be in the final five.

All three groups received boos when Davina introduced the couples during the channel 4 highlight show but by far the less were for Pete and Richard. Spiral and Michael received the most vociferous negativity from a partisan crowd.
