Well, here's an unexpected turn of events.
After just 7 days in the Big Brother house, single mum Saffia Corden decided to walk after a spat with Sophia Brown.
A row between the two housemates has been brewing for days. Sophia had been unhappy with Saffia after the single mum won a task to become an official housemate at the weekend. Sophia argued that, instead of putting herself up for the task, Saff should've selflessly chosen somebody else to take part.
Things came to a head yesterday after BB bosses played footage into the house of Sophia breaking the rules by trying to convince her fellow housemates to nominate Saffia.
Sophia called Saffia (is anyone else becoming confused by this?) "boring" and ranted "She needs to go. There's nothing exciting about her. Without Charlie and thingy, where is she?"
The whole episode naturally resulted in a row, when Saffia confronted Sophia: "Am I boring? I have tried to resolve things but you won't listen."
"Yes you are," responded an unashamed Sophia. "It's the truth. You need to check yourself."
Saffia later broke down in the diary room, and sobbed to Big Brother: "I feel like I'm being targeted, it's getting really bitchy." Not long after, Saff decided to walk, telling Lisa: "I need to go".
A Channel 4 spokesman said last night: "The walkout will not affect Friday's eviction".
Sophia For The Boot?
Unfortunately for Sophia, we reckon the walkout will have sealed the pocket rocket's fate.
After branding Sree a "mother-f****r" during an argument, she is fast becoming the most unpopular housemate and bookies are backing the 4ft 11ins wannabe for the boot. Sky Bet's Helen Jacob told us: "Sophia has ruffled more than a few feathers since entering the house.
"After being the only female contestant to be greeted with unanimous cheers on entering the house, we expect her to be booed on her way out on Friday as she is proving to be rather annoying!"
BB10's First Bonk?
We've been keeping a close eye on the burgeoning romance between Kris and Sophie for the past few days - and it seems we're not alone.
The housemates have been gossiping over whether the pair might have had a little fun under the covers after Kris slipped into her bed during the night.
Hmm... could things be moving forward now that third wheel Saff is out of the picture?
Sree's Sensitive Side
It seems Sree is having a bit of trouble adjusting to life in the house after a few arguments with his fellow contestants.
The poor lad had to be calmed down after convincing himself that Sophia's insult was aimed at his parents, and he's since had a clash with Cairon.
The student union president had spent an hour in the Diary Room when he asked Charlie to get out of bed to talk to him and confided: "Charlie, I'm leaving."
Charlie was one of the few housemates to be absent from the living room when Cairon and Sree clashed over their beliefs about what values are important in life.
Sree had been talking to Sophie about using her personality as well as her looks when Cairon intervened, stating that women in clubs love "big d***s" and don't care about personality.
Sree told Charlie: "He said 'talk to me p***y, if you're a man stand up and talk to me.' He's swearing at me, at my parents. I was taught not to disrespect people."
Charlie managed to reason with him, advising him to "sleep on it", to which Sree responded: "If I wake up with a fresh head tomorrow I will stay. If people like me, I will be in this house."
Are we about to see two walkouts in the first week?
BB Boss Receives 'Death Threat'
In other news, it seems the fan row over Big Brother's live feed has escalated. According to reports, head of Channel 4 Andy Duncan has received a death threat directed at his daughter.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident after Andy was sent an anonymous email which read: "Bring back the live feed or I'll kill your daughter." The mail was also sent to two other Channel 4 staff members and the programme's generic address.
A Channel 4 spokesperson said: "Members of staff received a written threat from a member of the public. We have taken this threat seriously and the matter has been referred to the police."
