Housemates had a chinese meal supplied to them by Big Brother last night, and the mood of the housemates that are still awake is much improved on previous nights.

At 2am the E4 live feed picked up on the fact that Craig appeared to have fallen asleep on one of the kitchen stools. He eventually moved to one of the seats by the bedroom, and sat there all on his own - clearly pondering the fact that within 24 hours he may well be evicted from the house.

Maxwell, Anthony, Saskia, Sam and Vanessa could be seen chatting in the lounge in the same camerashot, whilst Craig simply sat there isolated from the rest of the group.

Has Kemal just hinted about Makosi's secret?
Craig eventually decided that bed would be a better place to sleep than in the kitchen, and was joined by Vanessa at around 2:30am. There had been quite a bit of whispering just before Vanessa arrived in the room, with Kemal and Craig saying about things that were going on in the house.

Kemal was making some very strong hints about "13" and "unlucky" and how things had kept kicking off, and mentioned "Makosi". Although he didn't actually say about Makosi being the unlucky 13th housemate, and didn't say she'd nominated, he did appear to be hinting those sort of things... but will Vanessa and Craig have picked up on what he meant?

The Eye thinks it'd be a wise move by Kemal to spill the beans about Makosi's secret task and nominations, seeing as it's a game that they're playing, as if Makosi actually wants to win then at some point she's going to have to stab Kemal in the back to do so.

Also by Kemal telling the group he could become more popular with them for telling the truth and letting them know what's been going on, which could help keep him in the house for longer (although The Eye would be quite glad to see him go) and could be used as a way to turn the housemates against Makosi. Of course, if Kemal was to tell the group though he may find himself receiving the flack for not saying sooner, despite it not really being up to him to tell them... Makosi's played a very clever game, but how long can it last?

During the whispering viewers also got several views through the thermal-vision camera, although it gave less clear pictures than the normal cameras and was very blurry, and didn't "see under the covers" at all from the example footage seen. Interestingly those housemates that were awake could hear a beeping sound which seemed to coincide with the fact the camera was on... but should they hear this, and was it related or is something else going on in the bedroom or the camera runs behind the mirrors which they shouldn't have heard...

The lads want fun
4:30am, and all of the housemates are asleep in the bedroom apart from Maxwell, Anthony and Science who are in the Lounge. They're discussing games which they could play tonight, and have suggested a wet t-shirt contest and also a game of changing clothing in the pool. They all went in to the diary room to speak to Big Brother, and came out pleased that they'd get music for their entertainment.

Although the mood is never very high after an eviction, so the boys may well be dissapointed if the typical "early night" follows either Craig or Mary leaving the house.

After an all-night "bonding session" the boys decided yet more pranks were in order, and put the chairs from the dining room table around the bedroom - whilst making plenty of noise clanking them about. Big Brother however wasn't keen and told them to put them back.

And prankster Science found that someone had got to him first, by removing his duvet. At first he decided sleeping under a towel would do, but then told Makosi to roll over so as he could share a bed with her and Lesley...

All out in the sun
Housemates are catching some midday sun, including Mary who appears to have applied her makeup without looking in a mirror this morning - something which Maxwell picked up on and was laughed about by Mary.

Conversation covered various random sujects whilst the housemates passed the time, and at one point went from toast to toes (I suppose they sound similar) and Max commenting how large Craig's toes are, although the general opinion was that Kemal's toe is bigger.

Clearly it wasn't conversation that the boys wanted though, and they'd been looking as if they were trying to cause mischief ever since going out in to the garden, so it'd have come as no suprise that at 12:15pm Maxwell, Anthony and Craig started a waterfight, which soon involved almost everyone else.

Time to pack the suitcases
6pm and the suitcases have arrived for Mary and Craig so as they can pack their clothes and belongings away before the eviction in around 3 hours time. Both think they're going tonight, and online polls on BB fansites show that it's a very close run thing with Craig originally being fave for the boot, but now Mary looking just as likely.

Updates from Day 8 will be posted as they happen...
