Lisa And Sara Win £25k Each

Shortly after being put up for eviction tonight nominees Lisa and Sara were summoned to the task room, and the pair excitedly ran across the garden holding hands on the way.

Once inside, the girls were told that they would be playing the 'prisoner's dilemma' game, which was basically the end bit from ITV's 'Goldenballs', just with all the terms changed.

Instead of 'split' and 'steal' balls, the pair of nominees had to choose between 'SHARE' and 'TAKE' blocks of wood. As in the TV show, they couldn't see what the other person was going to choose, and if both girls chose 'share', they would split the £50k up for grabs and each leave the task room £25k richer.

However, if one went for share and the other chose to take, the taker would nab the whole lot, tucking-up their peer in the process. But if they both chose to take, neither would get a penny. Big Bro re-iterated what would happen in that latter scenario, which is all too common in Goldenballs due to the greed of the contestants.

Out in the lounge, their six peers were glued to the plasma screen as Rex said, "Come on girls, you can do this: share it".

Lisa and Sara were given an opportunity to discuss what they were going to do, and invited to lie about what they might do. However, it was a no-brainer as both girls – effectively mates who are in the same boat – knew without hesitation that they both wanted to share. Fantastic!

And indeed, that's precisely what they did, showing each other the 'SHARE' block when the time came. So, Big Brother informed the lucky pair that they would receive £25,000 each, and an overjoyed Lisa picked Sara up to celebrate and then piggy-backed her around the room! "Here we are: genuine, nice people," declared Lisa.

Out in the garden, having exited the task room, Sara said to Lisa, "Did we just win money?" prompting her older peer to reply, "I think so". Indeed they did, which Mohamed was gutted about, later telling Big Bro that he would rather have given-up his HoH title and had a chance of winning the cash.
