23:26 Sandra gets her first announcement from the Big Brother about not wearing her mike properly... in English.

23:28 Sandra is opening her suitcase and putting her things in a storage drawer assigned for her in the bedroom. Marika and Elisabet say they would love to see what kind of clothes she has. Sandra says she had to pack everything when she left the Big Brother Slavnih house because she thought she was going home.

I have to say that Sandra has got a tight little body. She's concerned about her privacy, though. Elli ja Ellu are telling her that there isn't much privacy in the Finnish BB house which strikes Sandra as odd for some reason. Maybe the rules are different for the celebrity version in Slovenia?

23:33 The DC2 stream is showing Elli-Maija alone in the bathroom, crying and sobbing again? Sandra, Elisabet, and Marika are still in the bedroom, Sandra is organizing her clothes. The rest of the housemates are in the living room.

23:36 Sandra is now in the living room.
Eetu: "What do you think about our house?"
Sandra: "It's... really different."

(No kidding! :D The dull gray shoebox we have this year...)

23:39 Elli-Maija has come back from bathroom, didn't notice when that happened. She's now listening to Sandra's explanation about the Slovenian BB house. The housemates ask Sandra whether they celebrate Halloween in Slovenia.

The metal screen has been lowered in front of the doors and windows to the outside yard, so the housemates can't see what's going on in the yard. (The production team is most likely preparing a party.)

23:42 Big Brother announces the storage room is now open. The housemates find a clear plastic storage box with the name tag "SANDRA" on the side. The other housemates have similar boxes for organizing their stuff, so now Sandra gets one on her own.

The housemates are showing Sandra the cupboards and appliances in their kitchen.

Sandra: "Last time... when did you eat?"
Elisabet: "About... six (o'clock)"

Marika thinks they'll probably get a party soon.

23:47 Sandra was asked if she has any dislikes for types of food. I think she said she doesn't like fish.

The housemates are trying some cookies or little cakes Sandra brought with her. They find them "really good".

Sandra: "Oh my God, you're all so nice, I expected the worst but you're so nice!"

(She's too kind for our housemates, they could have been better and more considerate hosts right from the beginning... but they do get along nicely.)

OK, now they're having the shots and they also teach Sandra a fake Finnish tradition; a supposedly Finnish word for "Cheers!" ("Perseet!" which is actually never used that way... but the closest translation for it in this context would be "Let's get wasted!") They're also acting like they were very worried about overindulging the stuff.

23:58 Now Sandra is giving a speech. She thanks her Finnish housemates for showing all the hospitality and being such a good hosts and mentions some other flattering things. (Some of the Finnish girls says "No, now I'm going to cry!" - probably because they can't be completely honest with her if they're going to beat their weekly challenge.)

0:00 Sandra: "So what do you think, is the door going to open, coz I'd really like to have a smoke."

Everyone laughing, the Finnish smokers are waiting for that too.

0:02 Sandra is being asked if they have two Big Brother shows going on in Slovenia - one for celebrities and another for "normal people". Sandra tells them this is the first Celebrity Big Brother in Slovenia and they have had the "normal" ones before.

Sandra is being explained how Niko and the other old-timers entered this year's Big Brother Show... from the secret area, in the middle of a dinner the original housemates were having.

0:06 Big Brother ordered the housemates on the sofas. They get to see a farewell video where the girl who was just evicted tonight, Vilhelmiina, can send her last greetings to her former housemates.

This far they've actually managed to pull off those false Finnish custom stunts surprisingly well ... even though there haven't been too many of them yet. What I mean that nobody's broken out in laughter in the middle of it all as I suspected would happen.

We'll watch with interest ... and I still predict the entire assignment will detonate on their hands at the point they have to actually perform some of their spinned yarns to Sandra.

And yes, it sounds to me that Marika is trying to pepper her English with some kind of imaginary Irish accent, it sounds very odd to my ear too, though she is very fluent and actually more coherent than when she speaks Finnish. Jani's linguistic skill was also a shocker ... wouldn't have guessed.

0:08 Vilhelmiina, the evicted housemate, sent some special greetings to Nino in her farewell video. After the whole thing was over, Sandra asked what did she say on it. The other housemates translated Vilhelmiina's main points to her; she doesn't regret participating in the show, "Live each day as if it were your last" etc. - and then about the greetings sent to Nino.

Sandra asked if Vilhelmiina and Nino had something going on between them. Nino said no, not really... "I'm gay".
Sandra: :shock: Oh!

Everyone bursts into laughter.

0:16 Sandra and the Finnish housemates are discussing their preferred music and whether the housemates have any singing or drama activities in the house.

0:18 Sandra goes round the housemates one by one, trying to learn their names and how to pronounce them. Petri gives her a false name, "Maza", which is actually a nickname he got in the house.

0:20 All smokers, including Sandra, are still eagerly waiting for the metal screen blocking the access to the yard be raised so they could go outside and have a smoke.

0:27 The housemates are still sitting on the sofas. Sandra asked them what do they do outside of Big Brother. The Finnish housemates take turns in explaining what they do for a living or what they are studying. Sandra is telling them about her education and work experience as well.

Sandra is suprised to hear a girl like Elisabet works as a security guard at a metro station, but her eyes really lit up when Elisabet told her she's also a former hairdresser, and they have a hairdryer and a straightening iron in the house...

0:35 The housemates receive a task for the night: they need to teach Sandra some "Finnish sauna customs" (actually fabricated "Finnish customs" they made up last week during their weekly task.) The screen that is blocking their access to the yard is going to be raised soon.

0:55 The housemates were finally let outside. Elli-Maija comes out of the confession room announcing the jacuzzi is not available for their use for now. They ask her for a reason but she just shrugs. No reason had been given.

The housemates find a number of "Kukko" brand beer cans on the patio table ("Kukko" means "rooster", the housemates lie roosters are the "national animal of Finland"). There are also black sausages served on the table (made of pig blood, among other things) - it's an actual Finnish delicacy but has no connection to the Finnish sauna customs... however, the housemates claim it does.

Kuva
Sandra enjoying a smoke and a beer.

Sandra enjoys a cold beer and a smoke at the smoking place with the other housemates. Then they go back inside to change into "proper sauna gear", which is likely going to be something silly and made-up.

Inside, Sandra is having some logistical problems trying to change into bikinis while maintaining her privacy but succeeds in that after all:

1:32 Sandra was having another beer and smoke outside when she was called to the confession room. It seems Big Brother wants her there in her bikinis: she was first wearing a coat over the bikinis but was ordered to take it outside the confession room. However, when she was going back in, she instead got a towel from Elli-Maija and wrapped it around her before re-entering.

While Sandra is in the confession room, the housemates are having a lengthy discussion about how they can keep their fake stories about Finland coherent. (They already made a small mistake.)

The housemates are also discussing they should clean the house better and keep things nicer and tidier - at least now that they have a guest. They're now waiting Sandra to come out of the confession room so they can take her to "Finnish sauna" - or their version of it - but she seems to remain there for a very long time.

1:55 After all the waiting, Sandra finally gets to an "original Finnish sauna". Here are a couple of pictures of her (and all the other fools who are her Finnish housemates!) enjoying the "purifying spiritual experience":

All the housemates together.

Sandra is discussing with Marika in the sauna - both still wearing their silly fur hats :lol:) Sandra says she's so grateful for this experience. There's lots of fooling around; the housemates have developed special prayers and chants that are said aloud at certain points and supposedly required for a traditional Finnish sauna experience.

The guys (Nino, Petri, Eetu) wen to the smoking area for a while and were laughing their asses off there. They're also cracking up in the sauna while Sandra is outside it for a while.

But despite the demands of the weekly task, the Finnish housemates are genuinely interested in Sandra and discuss with her about other, genuine and serious things too. They just have to keep up their role and poker face as regarding to these fake "Finnish" customs and traditions.

2:38 The sauna experience is over. Sandra already went inside, changed her clothes back to normal and then went to the patio and to the designated smoking area. Jani was alread

Jani: "Did you enjoy the Finnish sauna"
Sandra: "I did, I did! Really nice... an experience!"

Petri and Elisabet soon join Sandra and Jani. They have a discussion about music and sleepwalking or snoring in the house. Sandra tells them she couldn't get sleep in the Big Brother Slovenia house because some female competitor snored so loud.

Sandra thinks it's interesting and nice that there's just one bedroom in the Finnish edition of Big Brother. She tells the Finnish housemates the Finnish Big Brother had told her that Gena was evicted. Sandra is sad about that since he was one of the housemates close to her and she thinks Niko would have liked his company.

Sandra is amazed about the fact that in Big Brother Finland two or even three housemates could be evicted on the same night, and also that there have already been 27 housemates living in the Big Brother house this season.

Sandra leaves the smoking area and goes inside. Nino is at the same time amused about Sandra believing the sauna thing but feels pity for her and that they have the audacity to fool her... He is worried and also a bit ashamed about Sandra not having had anything proper to eat in the house yet, so they're trying to fix that next, before going to bed.

3:00 The housemates are having a night-time meal. Blood sausages and something else. They're telling Sandra it is "traditional sauna food".

They also teach her a fake "prayer" which involves saying "ruokaa, juomaa, meille tuokaa" (which means literally "food, drinks, bring to us") and clinking utensils in a certain way. Sandra seems to take it all in good spirit, as an experience of a foreign culture.

The housemates start burping and explain Sandra that it means the food was really good! Sandra says she never does that, doesn't know how to do it but it doesn't mean the same thing back home. Then she burps as well. They discuss about traditions, Jani explains how the blood sausages are made, the housemates burp some more.

Sandra: I didn't know that? You do that all the time, after a meal I mean? :damnfunny

The housemates assure her that's the case.

Sandra: (smiling) This culture and everything... it's so different. Great!

3:18 Now BB is playing a song called "Lapin kesä" on the house PA system. It's an actual, somewhat popular Finnish song but the housemates claim the song is traditional Finnish music, which it isn't. They also tell Sandra the singer is called "Uuno Turhapuro" which is actually a fictional character in a series of Finnish comedy movies.

Sandra is telling the Finnish housemates about her singing career. She says she sees herself more as an entertainer accompanied with dance girls in Pussycat Dolls style as a technically really great singer. She also gives the housemates a little sample (not bad at all, gets applause from the Finnish housemates.)

03:30 Petri almost moves to tears by Sandra's singing. He then raises his head and exclaims "Jebou!" to the housemate next to him. Sandra laughs and says "jeba" a very bad word in Slovenian. The Finnish housemates want to know what it means. Sandra is laughing and saying she can't possible say such things here, much less teach them to her Finnish housemates. After a bit of persuasion she says it means "sex in a bad way"... and a little later she reveals it actually means "to fuck" or "screw you!"

This is all very amusing to the Finnish housemates. The word "Jebou!" has been their very own "battle cry" for the entire season: they have uttered it whenever something good has happened in the BB house, or as a generic encouraging word, much like "Yeah!". The word does not mean anything in Finnish but it was popularized in the house by one of the previously evicted housemates, Satu.

For this week's task, the housemates have even prepared a song called "Jebou-laulu" ("The Jebou song") - a rhythmical chant where all the words in lyrics are "Jebou!" and which is supposedly part of the Finnish culture as well. They thought it would be a funny gag as "Jebou" was practically only used and known by the BB 2010 housemates themselves and no-one else. Last week, the housemates even joked "Jebou could possibly mean something rude in some another language - maybe just the language the exchange housemate would speak. But they never thought this joke would actually come true.

3:40 Sandra is sitting on a bench in the smoking area again. She gets some company from Petri with whom she has a discussion about Slovenian ski jumpers and downhill skiers. Then Petri leaves and Elisabet comes up to replace him.

Elisabet is a huge fan of Michael Jackson and had already mentioned it to Sandra earlier during the night. Sandra asks if she actually is a fan and mentions she has visited one of the houses owned by Michael Jackson when she was 10 year old. Elisabet and Sandra then discuss how good a person MJ was, about his charity deeds and everything. (This is probably the first time Elisabet has had someone - anyone - in the house who takes a discussion about Michael Jackson seriously... Sandra, who spoke so kindly about MJ, must now appear like some kind of a semi-goddess to her. :lol:)

There are now also Marika and Jani discussing with Sandra. They talk about sushi, seafood and the Spanish language; French songs as well. Petri and Nino join the company, too.

3:56 Sandra and the rest of the smoker gang have moved on to the topic of zodiac signs. Meanwhile, Eetu, Elli-Maija, Nino and Noora are in the bedroom, preparing to go to bed.

Kuva
Sandra and her captive audience.

4:08 One of the housemates (either Elli-Maija or Noora) opens the door to the outside patio and asks the smoker gang to come inside so they could all go to bed and get some sleep, it's late already.

The smoker gang doesn't seem to react to that request, but Big Brother then helps things a bit and announces "Everyone needs to change the batteries for their microphone."

Upon hearing the request Jani translates it to Sandra and explains to her they need to follow the order immediately. They all stump their cigarettes and move inside to change the batteries. (This procedure occurs daily, two times a day, in the Big Brother Finland house and is carried out in the storage room where there are two storage boxes: one for new batteries and another one for used batteries.)

4:12 Lights dim out in the bedroom. "Finlandia", starts blaring over the house PA system. (This is all preplanned by the housemates in the previous week.)

Sandra has gone to the bathroom and is brushing her teeth. Jani is there too, applying some sort of a facial cream. Sandra is already getting used to the customs of the Big Brother Finland house as they have a brief discussion about whether either of them minds if Sandra uses the toilet seat while Jani is standing in front of the mirror, and conclude it doesn't bother them. Sandra needs to pee so she carries out the task in Jani's presence.

Meanwhile, the Finnish housemates who are in the bedroom lament (in Finnish) how they're itching all over their skin having whisked themselves with scratchy fir tree branches - the fake "Finnish" sauna tradition they invented themselves and then needed to follow. :D

4:22 Sandra has now finished her business in the bathroom and comes to the bedroom. The Finnish housemates ask her if she noticed the piece of orchestal music that was playing over the house PA system and tell her it's "our sleeping song" (a lullaby of some kind). (This is one of the many cultural lies the housemates had originally planned as a part of their last week's weekly task. Sandra is supposed to believe her Finnish housemates would always hear this Finnish "lullaby" song as the last thing every night.)

Sandra is now in bed and has tucked herself under a duvet.

Sandra: "Who would have thought I'd ever go to Finland... in a Big Brother house."

4:32 Discussion about sex in the Big Brother house. They're telling Sandra sex has happened in the Finnish Big Brother house and it is common for everybody to kiss everybody in the house. (These are not lies, the latter one is perhaps a slight exaggeration but not far from truth.)

Sandra (to the "kissing everyone in the house" part): "I can't believe that!" (laughing) "It's not for me!"

The housemates begin telling her in detail who of the housemates has kissed whom this far and whether tongue was involved. Sandra is impressed about the long lists of persons (all true, these are not lies) and even starts questioning the housemates one by one, wanting to know more.

She now also finds out Jani (who sleeps next to her) is gay, and Marika is a lesbian - or has a bit of a bi in her too. Sandra is a bit shocked about these revelations but in a good way. She is a staunch supporter of equality.

4:36 The housemates also tell her that this far, sex has happened in every season of Big Brother Finland except this one. Then they tell her they do it in the Swedish edition of Big Brother all the time. Sandra says they don't really even have kissing in their current edition of Big Brother.

Sandra hopes her new housemates won't mind her getting up from the bed from time to time because she really has to go to pee two times a night. They assure her that won't disturb them.

4:42 Sandra's first trip to the bathroom. "I just have to go pee" she says.

4:44 Sandra comes back from the bathroom.
Petri: "Good night, Sandra!"
Sandra: "Good night, Finland!"

^ Could use some help though, can't be here all the time. ;)

09:32 The housemates have got their wake-up announcement. Not much talking going on. People look like they could use some more sleep yet.

09:37 Noora says "Good morning" to Sandra. Sandra tells she has slept well, like a little kid. Noora tells Sandra they get hot water in the bathroom now, for a limited time, so if she wants to take a shower, now would be a good time. But she doesn't have to if she doesn't feel like it. Sandra asks if it is really true they only get hot water in the bathroom on mornings. (The Finnish Big Brother usually limits the availability of hot water in the bathroom so the housemates have to carry out their morning routine quickly unless they don't mind taking cold showers.)

Sandra says the mattress was really good. She's wondering what they're doing back in the Big Brother Slavnih house right now. Marika asks if she's already feeling homesick. "No", says Sandra. But she is missing the others a bit, of course.

09:41 Nino dares to speak some English as well. "Good morning sunshine!" he says to Sandra.

09:48 Sandra asks Marika about the weird handshake ritual she got subjected to when she entered the house. Is it traditional Finnish custom? Marika explains to her she's correct. (In reality, the handshake ritual was invented by the housemates and making Sandra believe these false things about Finland is part of their weekly task.)

Sandra goes to the bathroom to brush her teeth. She also says she's probably going to wash her hair tomorrow if that's OK. No problem, say the Finnish housemates. Marika joins her and brushes her teeth as well.

09:58 Petri, Eeti, Noora, Elli-Maija on the sofas. Noora gets up for a smoke, asks Eetu to come with her.

Sandra and Jani are in the bedroom. Jani asks how Sandra feels about her first morning in the Big Brother Finland house. Sandra says it's nice but she's feeling a bit ill and has stomach pains. Doing your business (especially "the number two") in the open-plan bathroom could be challenging for. She tells it took two weeks for her even in the Slovenian Big Brother house.

Sandra asks if other housemates have had such problems. Elisabet hasn't. Sandra tells it seemed to be a problem for everyone in the Big Brother Slavnih house at first.

10:03 The storage room is now open and the housemates find four baskets of food in there. They get mämmi (a traditional Finnish easter delicacy, although I believe it will be presented to Sandra as something more common) and sima (Finnish-style mead). Lots of other stuff as well.

10:12 Sandra is done with her morning routines. She tells the others just ask if they need her to help in cooking on whatever. The housemates are planning to prepare some borsch for lunch.

Nino serves Sandra a cup of coffee, has some problems understanding she'd like sugar in it too.

10:46 The housemates are having waffles, jam, and ice-cream for breakfast. They also do the strange utensil-clinking ritual and chant. Sandra is asking if this really is a typical Finnish breakfast. Yes it is, the housemates assure. It customary to eat something sweet and sugary in the mornings, they lie to her.

10:50 The housemates are discussing Christmas traditions. Sandra is surprised to know the (false) fact that Christmas trees do not belong to the Finnish tradition. :D "In Slovenia, everybody has one!" She tells the Finnish housemates it is customary to hang ornaments on the branches of the tree.

11:14 Breakfast is over. Eetu wants to tell Sandra he understands everything she says but is bad at conversing in English himself. Nino can't speak English worth a damn but makes the other housemates ask good questions from Sandra.

11:44 The housemates are sitting on the sofas, singing songs together. Nino wants to know about the weekly tasks in the Slovenian Big Brother House and makes the others ask that question from Sandra. Sandra tells them about the conveyor belt task, and the task where they had to spend money. She also mentions the pirate task.

12:31 Sandra has visited the confession room once again.

14:19 Housemates are preparing the borsch soup. Sandra is assisting them.

14:51 Discussion about movies and stuff, Sandra has a smoke outside and talks with Petri, can't believe he has already been in the house for 70 days. Petri says the time flies by.

15:32 Day task: the housemates need to explain Sandra (the falsified version of) Finnish history. They don't start that just yet, they're going to have a dinner first.

16:00 The housemates have done their strange dining rituals and are now eating the soup. Lots of discussion. They're having the mämmi with cream for dessert. Sandra even says she likes it.

16:20 Sandra, Elisabet, Noora and Marika are out in the patio, in the smoking area. They're having a discussion about the difficulties of doing the "number two" in the house. Sandra repeats that everyone has had problems with that in the Slovenian Big Brother.

16:51 The day task is now on. The housemates are presenting a false image of Finnish history for Sandra by taking various roles and acting the "historic" scenes. They also have props to help them with the task.

Sandra likes the presentation and asks for more information. The housemates explain to her the religious situation in the country: according to the housemates, False Finland is a predominantly Eastern-Orthodox country, with onion-shaped domes on top of the church towers.

The presentation includes some songs as well. The housemates tell Sandra there's a queen in Finland, but she's still a single at 40 years of age. (The False Finland is apparently a monarchy.)

Sandra says she's surprised. Didn't know such things about Finland. She also compliments the housemates for their acting ability.

---

18:30 At the moment Sandra is sitting on a bench in the smoking area. Elisabet is teaching her the numbers from 1 to 10 in Finnish.

18:32 Sandra and Elisabet return inside. Earlier today, Sandra has been practicing some palmistry on her Finnish housemates and telling them about a book about positive thinking that changed her life. (The title of the book is apparently "The Secret".)

18:36 Sandra is reading aloud the Finnish language instructions for the bread machine. (Quite understandable pronunciation for someone who doesn't know any Finnish!)

18:40 Sandra, Elisabet, Noora, and Eetu are sitting at one end of the dinner table and practicing simple words and phrases in each others' language.

Sandra has just been taught the phrase: "Minä olen tyttö." ("I am a girl".)

18:53 The housemates are teaching Sandra "the vampire game" which the housemates have been playing in the house a lot. The vampire game involves two vampires, one oracle, one storyteller and a variable number of others. They're trying to guess who the vampires are before they kill the entire population of the "village".

19:24 A couple of rounds of the vampire game are now over. Sandra seemed to have fun. The smokers of the house, Sandra among them. go to the smoking place.

19:28 Sandra is called to the confession room.

19:35 Nino and Elisabet are discussing they could do a trip to Slovenia, for real. They have apparently been discussing this before.

19:40 "This is Big Brother. Housemates, gather to the sofas."

20:00 The evening task for the housemates involves explaining Sandra about Finnish legends and myths. (False legends and myths invented by them, actually.)

At the moment they're telling Sandra about the mysterious (fictitious) "Finnish spirit of sauna", "Mr. Steam". Or "Herra Höyry" in Finnish.

Sandra: "So all people that are living in Finland believe in that?"

Marika: "It depends, some people believe these things, some not but we really value our traditions."

Sandra: "It's really interesting, I really didn't expect all that. I admire the fact that your are all... young people and have cherished this so much."

20:33 Sandra is called to the confession room. Elisabet and Petri are taking this chance to discuss what they really feel about the exchange:

Elisabet: "It really irks me we have to lie to her, I wouldn't want to do that."

Petri says that's their weekly task; Sandra will surely understand it and laugh about it later when it will be revealed to her eventually.

Elisabet thinks she might be disappointed in them feel hurt and sad when she finds out. Elisabet wouldn't want to do that to her as Sandra seems to be so enthusiastic and accepting about everything they tell her.

Elisabet: "She's just so lovely person, I've never met anyone like her before."

Petri says the "False Finland" task will probably end already on Wednesday, before Sandra leaves. They don't have material prepared for much more, after all. Maybe they can reveal the truth to Sandra after that and act the normal way for the remaining days of her visit.

20:48 Sandra is back from the confession room... with a hand-held video recorder (apparently a product placement for Nokia's new camera phone, the "N8".) She explains she was granted the recorder for taking notes; as a sort of a personal video diary of her trip.

The housemates will apparently need to redo some of their presentations so Sandra can record them.

22:04 The presentations are over for today, Sandra has been recording them on the Nokia N8 she got.

Sandra and the housemates are now sitting at the smoking area and chatting about various things. Eetu asks Sandra if working on a radio show is difficult, as you have to talk live on air. Sandra tells it's hard to be innovative. She says it's different to TV shows in that there are no different people (technicians and such) doing things for you and helping you out. She compares it to driving a car: you're in controls and have to do all by yourself: adjusting the sliders on the mixer panel, playing music, talking, etc. Sandra: "It becomes routine after a while."

22:25 Sandra is back in the confession room again, apparently to return the N8 camera phone.

Elisabet and Nino both lament their shoddy skills at speaking English. Nino says he should have listened to his mother who used to emphasize that learning languages is important. Now Nino sees how right she was. He has lots of things on his mind he'd like to ask Sandra but can only do that with the help of the other housemates.

Elisabet says she'd need some practice as well. She can manage a one-on-one discussion, but when everyone's talking in a bigger group, it’s difficult for her to keep up.

22:29 Sandra returns from the confession room and goes to bedroom with some of the other housemates.

Sandra: "This Finland trip is like a revelation to me."

Sandra asks housemates to tell jokes to her.

22:33 Back in the kitchen Jani and Marika are having a private discussion in Finnish.

Jani says he's had good time in the house but this weekly task is a bit stressful because they have to tell all these lies to Sandra. They discuss Sandra's personality for a while, and how she appears to have believed the fake stories they tell her.

Marika: "She just wants to believe us, but she's not naive."

Marika: "She's a lovely girl."

22:48 Sandra is in the bathroom, preparing to take a shower. Jani, who was once again applying some facial cream in front of a mirror, politely exits the room saying he'll grant her some privacy. Directors don't show images from the bathroom cameras in any of the video streams now. (Is Sandra getting special treatment here or is it just because no-one is there to discuss with her right now?)

22:58 OK, we get Sandra taking a shower in DC2 now. She's wearing bikinis.

23:00 That was quick. She's now wrapped in a towel in the middle of the bathroom, apparently feeling a bit cold, and changing the bikinis to a top and a pair of pants under the "screen of modesty" provided by the towel.

Feisty girl, the water is ice cold. No other housemate would do the same.
