    Caroline, who has escape eviction two weeks before this, Week 4, finally got her marching orders from the public. She was cleary dissapointed when the news was first announced, but soon jumped around happily when her family and friends could be heard from the link to the studio. Not suprisingly considering her track record, Caroline was adored by the crowed outside. The cheers were loud, posters were waving and Caggy lapped it up! Just like Andrew before her, Caroline was shocked about the news of how fellow contestant Nicholas had done whatever he saw fit to escape nomination. When the evidence was presented to her she just said ""That guy used to follow me everywhere. He was talking about moving in with some of us"" Before she was whisked away by Davina she added ""He was obviously just working us""

    The nation had been watching eagerly for five weeks to see who Nick would be backstabbing next, who was next on his hit-list and ultimately how long it would take to backfire on him, as week 5 approached people were starting to wonder if his lies and deception would ever catch up with him. We shouldn't have doubted that. On the evening of Wednesday 16th, Craig was approached by Tom and told that Nicholas had been telling the group that Craig was the traitor. Darren was outraged that Nick could abuse the rules to use pens and paper in the house. He searched through his Nicks case. both agreed that they should wait until the morning to approach Nick. As the morning of Thursday 17th August came, the group had a meeting confronting Nicholas.
