Sam is the third housemate to have been voted out of the Big Brother house by the public, after a fairly slow day where no-one in the house seemed in much of a mood to do anything.

Housemates were woken at around 10am by a church-like bell which kept ringing and ringing and ringing until they all finally got up, although once they had risen from their beds it's not as if much got done - some housemates chatted by the pool, whilst others chatted in the Loft.

Craig cut Maxwell's hair, before Saskia plucked Craig's eyebrows, and Makosi did Kemal's hair. Derek said how he wanted to leave this week, as he's done many times since entering the house, but when picked up on the comments by Science Derek denied he'd been saying it at all, and claimed that he wasn't aware he'd been saying that and said it had only been said in the Diary Room - maybe he's been rumbled, or maybe he doesn't know what he is saying out aloud...

The eviction announcement...
Sam received the biggest boo's from the crowd during the show running up to the eviction announcement by Davina, which pretty much matches public opinion that she may be going tonight.

And the crowd outside the house were completely right, with Davina announcing to the house at just before 9:30pm that Sam was to be evicted tonight - having received more votes then the hated pair of Derek and Roberto who were banned from even nominating this week.

Sam shouted "now I get to go home... I'm going home!!" before commenting "I knew it" to her fellow housemates moments after Davina had made the announcement, and looked neither happy nor sad about the news. Saskia however was clearly gutted that Derek wasn't leaving tonight, and other housemates seemed confused and slightly shocked - although maybe not fully dissapointed.

Sam is evicted...
At just after 10pm Sam made her walk to the front door and was evicted, facing a mass of boo's from the crowd, mixed with a few cheers - certainly not as unpopular as Lesley last week. She did however get something thrown or squirted at her as she stood on the podium at the bottom of the steps.

And the interview turned quite surreal with Davina stripping off a black PVC mac to reveal she was just wearing a small black bikini - in recognition of the fact that Sam walked around the house for most of her 22 days wearing nothing more than a bikini.

Tonight's eviction means there's now only three girls - Makosi, Saskia and Vanessa, and seven boys - Anthony, Craig, Derek, Kemal, Maxwell, Roberto and Science, which seems quite imbalanced for so early in the series, and could well indicate that some new housemates will be introduced... possibly the the first time in the UK Big Brother two housemates could join, which is exactly what happened recently on the Australian version.

Interestingly at the end of the eviction show Davina mentioned how next week one housemate would live a life of hell, and mentioned Room 101, which is a reference to Orwell's room that contains the worst thing in the world... Sounds like it'll make compulsive viewing!

The Eye would like to see Science contained in a small room for a week, seeing as he claims "Science cannot be contained!!!!"
