Episode Eight.
It was the day after Trish's eviction and the housemates were tired after last nights partying. Chris Jericho got up first and made a start on the shopping list.
He stopped calculating their money supply when Stephanie walked into the room in her silk dressing gown. She stared at him before heading towards the kitchen to make herself some coffee.
"How are you Steph?" asked Jericho trying to make conversation, Stephanie hadn't spoken to him since the Trish fight.
She didn't answer but continued to boil the kettle.
"Steph, please answer me, I'm sorry Ok."
Stephanie continued to ignore him.
"There was nothing between Trish and me, your just being stupid, why aren't you talking to me?"
Stephanie stirred in her sugar.
"Fine! Like I care, you can just go to hell, you selfish bitch!"
Stephanie didn't response to his shouting and coffee in hand made her way back to the bedroom.
Jericho looked on angrily as Stephanie walked away but as soon as she shut the door, sadness filled his face.
"I don't need her." He muttered to himself but he couldn't get Stephanie out of his head.
It was Lita and Torrie's turn to clean out the chicken coop and they grudgingly set to work around midday.
"God, I hate this job so much, why do we have to have these stupid chickens anyway, they don't do anything apart from cause us pain." Moaned Lita.
"Ewwww, it stinks." Cried Torrie as she entered the hut.
Torrie tried to grab a chicken but it flapped its feathers wildly and Torrie screamed in fright.
"Get it away, from me, Get it away, Get it away!"
Lita managed to herd most of the chickens into the pen but one had run away into the bushes.
"Look Torrie, stop screaming, your just going to make things worse, now help me catch the last chicken, its in the bushes."
"I'm not going in the bushes, it took me ages to do my hair this morning."
"Fine, just catch if it comes out."
Lita headed into the bushes to find the chicken, she reached right in, until her hands reached the fence, well part of it.
"Hey Torrie, come here."
"What?"
"Come here, Oh my god, there's a gap in the fence."
"What are you going on about?" asked Torrie.
Lita grabbed her hand and pulled her in.
"My hair, my hair!"
Lita turned off her microphone and motioned Torrie to do the same.
"There's a gap in the fence, from the looks of it, I pretty big one, do you know what this means?"
"Lita, your not suggesting that we.."
"You want to get out of here, right?"
"Of course, I miss Tajiri so much."
"Then this is our big chance.."
Would Lita and Torrie please turn their microphones on and come into the house.
"We can't talk about this now, they here every word."
Torrie crawled out of the bush and headed indoors. Lita searched for the chicken and 10mins later caught it and put it in the pen. She then came into the house, to find everyone us sitting in the living room area, Triple H was holding a piece of paper.
" Big Brother has just sent us a new task." Triple H announced.
Lita and Torrie sighed with relief that they hadn't been caught out.
" This week, the housemates must work together to build two sugar cube towers at must be at least 8ft tall and must stand up for at least two minutes. The team which builds the highest tower will get the choice of the food and movie for a party on Thursday."
"Oh yes! A party!" Jeff said happily.
"The teams have already been preselected, they are:
Team A Team B
Triple H Kurt Angle
Jeff Hardy Lita
Stephanie McMahon Chris Jericho
Torrie Wilson
You will be tested on Wednesday.
Triple H and Jeff headed to the storeroom to collect the sugar-cubes.
"Hey tough-break, you having to team up with Triple H, don't worry if he says anything remotely out of line, Ill kick his ass." Said Kurt comforting Stephanie.
"Its Ok, I think I can handle him." Said Stephanie smiley as she stared at her ex-husband.
Whilst Kurt and Jericho argued how to build the tower, Lita and Torrie sneaked off to the bathroom, Lita and Torrie squeezed into a little gap behind the shower.
"Why the hell are we here, I can't move."
"Shhh," said Lita."This is one of the few places the cameras can't see us, but we have to be quick, turn off your microphone, they don't realise its off until a minutes gone past."
"How do you know?"
"Well they haven't said anything yet have they, I only got a quick glance but there was definitely a gap in the fence and if I just broke it a little more, we could fit through."
"Are you saying that we escape the Big Brother house, its impossible."
"Its not impossible, its just that no-one has ever tried before, no-one has had the guts to do it."
"But we will get caught for sure."
"By the time they get security round, we would be gone, especially at night."
"I don't like it Lita, its too risky the cameras will spot us."
"Not if we create a diversion, so that the cameras are not on us."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't explain now, but we need more people, I think we should tell Jeff and Triple H our plan."
"Triple H doesn't want to escape, he wants to win."
"They don't have to escape, they just need to create a diversion."
Would Lita and Torrie please come to the Diary Room immediately?
"Oh my god, we've got caught."
"Stop worrying, they won't do anything, now we will have to turn our mics back on but we will talk again, don't act any different, act like everything is normal, we will practise the task."
"When are you going to do it?"
"Tuesday, that will give us enough time, now come on, we have to go."
Lita and Torrie headed out from behind the shower and went to the Diary room, where Big Brother gave them a warning about hiding and turning their microphones off.
Would Lita and Torrie go through with their plan?
Will Jeff and Triple H go along with it?
Stephanie sat with Kurt painting his nails.
"You know this Blue colour really suits you." Stephanie said.
"Stephanie, I look stupid, why don't go and paint Jeff's nails."
"Come on Kurt, lighten it, it really brings out your eyes."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I love a guy with great eyes." Said Steph smiling at Kurt.
"So what other things do you like?" said Kurt.
"Well.."
Suddenly Jericho entered the room carrying a tray of exotic foods.
"Hello Stephanie, I brought you your favourite foods, I spent my share of the shopping list on it, and look I also get you some new hair conditioner and the French perfume you wanted."
"Oh Chris, that is so sweet, Oh my god I can't believe you went to all this trouble."
"Oh please, Jericho go suck up to someone else."
"Look I see your busy, Ill just leave it here and you can try them later."
Jericho slowly left the room as Stephanie smiled at him.
She continued to look at him as Kurt sat in disbelief.
"Stephanie! Your suppose to be finishing my nails, that food looks disgusting, you don't have to eat that Stephanie, can you believe the cheek of that guy, don't worry Steph, ill get him out of this house, Steph are you listening to me?"
"Sorry Kurt," Stephanie said turning back to his nails.
"So what were you saying about my eyes?" asked Kurt.
"Jericho has nice eyes." Smiled Stephanie.
"Oh for gods sake." Kurt moaned.
Jeff and Triple H sat bored at the table. For the last few hours they had tried desperately to build the tower, but after the third collapse they were bored with it.
Stephanie had been no help at all, she had been in the bedroom with Kurt. Triple H wasn't sure whether he wanted to talk to her or not, they had barely spoken two words since he admitted that he still loved her. Maybe he scared her off, he didn't want to do that.
Just admit it Hunter, you've lost your chance, you blew it, he thought to himself.
"You know what we need." Jeff said.
"What?" said Triple waking up from his daydream.
"A Tennis Tournament, now I'm a pretty good player and that sugar tower can get pretty boring, everyone loves competitions, what do you think, I mean ill organize it, I might need a bit of help but im prepared to organize it, how about it?"
"I've never played Tennis before."
"Oh its so easy, Ill teach you it, Lita knows how to play it, I think Torrie does, Stephanie is bound to have her own tennis courts so she must have played it, Kurt knows all the sports and Jericho well he.."
"I'm sure it will be fine, in fact it's a good idea."
"Really?"
"Yep, your our little group motivator."
Jeff blushed as he stared at Triple H.
"This is going to the best Tennis Tournament ever." Jeff cheered.
Would all housemates please assemble in the living room for the nominations.
This week, the housemates seemed to have forgotten about the nominations but they still had to do them all the same, with only seven people left it was getting harder to pick.

As for Jeff, I just heard he wants to organize a Tennis Tournament. Who the hell does he think he is?
I can't wait to make him tap to the two-time high school Tennis champion Kurt Angle!
The results of the nominations will be revealed later this week.
After the nominations, Jericho went to the garden to practise for the tennis tournament. He was hitting the ball against the wall when Stephanie walked over.
"Your pretty good, you know."
"Pretty good at what?"
"A lot of things." Smirked Stephanie. " It was really nice of you to prepare the food, it was very nice, you must have spent a lot of money."
"Yeah I did." Said Chris continuing to hit the ball against the wall.
"Look I'm really sorry about ignoring, I was annoyed about the Trish thing but it was also more than that, I thought about Hunter and what he said."
"Are you getting back with him?"
"But then I realised, that you're the one I want and I don't want to argue with you, that's the worst thing that I want to happen, do you forgive me?"
Jericho didn't like to give in so easily but it seemed he was under Stephanie's spell.
"How can I stay mad at you?" laughed Jericho kissing Stephanie on the lips as they embraced in the moonlight.
