June 26, 2004

Tonight's live task risks another £10,000 of the housemate's remaining £77,000 prize fund in a game of intelligence, skill and strength called Big Brother's Human Games Challenge. Split across three sections, the housemates must divide into three teams and decide how much of their £10,000 stake to risk on each of the three games - for instance, if they're more confident about strength than intelligence or skill, they could risk £5,000 on the strength game and £2,500 each on the skill and intelligence games. Losing a game means they lose the stake risked on that game, winning it means they keep the stake. In the first part, the team taking on the intelligence challenge must rearrange scrambled letters to form a word. In a twist, however, the letters will be displayed on sandwich boards worn by the housemates, so they must rearrange themselves to form the word.

Later on that day, Becki was told to come to the Diary Room. While there, Big Brother told her that she had to nominate one Housemate, and the housemate that she would select would immediately be put up for Eviction on Friday. The way that she would select the Housemate, would be to kiss her on both cheeks, and therefore becoming the Kiss of Betrayal that Judas did to Jesus.

Meanwhile, Becki had to restrain herself from informing the Housemates of why Michelle was nominated.
