BB housemates enjoy muck-spreading
4:04pm Friday 18th July 2008
Some of the Big Brother housemates received an unwelcome distraction from Friday's eviction as they held their noses and put their backs into a filthy task - shovelling manure.
Dressed in lumberjack shirts with handkerchiefs tied around their necks, the contestants from the "Hell" side of the house erupted in cheers on Thursday evening after learning they had won the muck-spreading task.
But the threat of eviction now hangs over the heads of theatre director Belinda Harris-Reid and chef Rex Newmark who have been put up for the public vote.
Despite being in the house for less than a fortnight, Belinda's noisy snoring has sorely tested the nerves of her fellow housemates, while Rex was branded arrogant and mean.
The 24-year-old received a total of six nominations from his housemates, including his friend, Darnell Swallow, who admitted his decision was a "betrayal".
He said: "He is my friend so this is a betrayal. I'm a back-stabbing b******.
"But he totally doesn't want to be here. To him it's boring. He just wants to see his girlfriend and there are people who would have really wanted to be here."
Darnell voted alongside Lisa, Luke, Michael and Rebecca to seal Rex's fate.
The chef now tops the nominations tally, with 20 in the series so far.
