Day 31, June 1

Terri and Trevor wake up to find a new thing mounted from a ledge above the deck area. They're not sure what it is, but sure it must have to do with something. Bright bunch these people.

After being locked down in the bedroom, they come back out to find "the Orb" a watermellon suspended from the previously mentioned "thing." Turns out that it's this week's task. They must all pair up and take turns waiting to catch "the orb" when it falls. They wager 75% of their budget on winning the task even though (Paul mostly) wants to go 100%. They can drop the melon five times before their fail the task (but they don't know that.)

Paul goes to the DR and tells BB that he's scheming. He's bored and the watermelon thing is not stimulating him. So to stir the pot, he plans to throw the competition just to see how everyone reacts. BB tells him he's going to get a strike and he's fine with that. He knows he will probably get nominated each week, he doesn't care. But he thinks by getting people to show their true colors as a result of his actions, that may cause other people to be put up and he might thus save himself.

He tells the other HMs matter of factly that he's not participating and why. Some of them (Wes and Ryan) get what he's doing and while they don't agree, think he's smart. Others (Merlin, Bree, Kane) do not and become a little upset with him. He tells them he didn't come into the house "to stare at fruit" he came for life experience. Merls calls him a hypocrite saying he can lay on a deck chair for an hour but can't participate in the game. "Let it out Merls, tell me how you feel!" Paul cheers him. Ryan reminds everyone that getting upset is just what Paul wants them to do and they shouldn't let him win.

Kane tells him "that is the most unsportman, un-Australian thing to do." (Apparently Kane thinks it's every Aussie's duty to stare at fruit when summoned.)

Ryan asks him why it has to be THIS task? If he wants to get a reaction out of people, he should do it in other ways. Ryans says he thinks the end is near for Paul and perhaps he wants to go out in a blaze of glory.

The HMs are supposed to work in one hour shifts but they don't have a clock. They take a timer off of the bike and a novelty paper weight that has gel dripping from one end to the other and invent a make-shift hour glass, only their hour glass lasts 12 minutes. When the glass has been rotated 8 times, an hour is up.

Paul and Terri again talking about Merlin's nomination strategy, picking people he doesn't like and then finding a reason to put them up. Paul says he's tried to do the opposite, he's always had a legitimate reason for nominating someone, not just because he didn't like them. Then he calls Merlin "socially shallow-minded."

Paul makes a plea to the viewers from the DR "If you want to see a boring house, kick me out. But if you want to see people's true emotions and realness, keep me in!"

Bree and Kane agree that despite their current frustration, they "rank" Paul as one of the top guys in the house and they know they'll look back on this and laugh when they all get out of the house.

Wes tells Merlin that he thinks what Paul is doing is a bad idea, that while some of the viewers will "get" what he's doing, most won't and it will be his ticket out of the house.

Ryan points out that there's no way they can win with Paul not participating and for the rest of them to babysit the melon is waste of time. But they all agree that even though it's as Bree says "the most not-fun I've ever had in my life" that they are going to continue to prove a point.

At 3am while Terri and Wes are on watch and Merlin is lending moral support, the melon drops and they fail to catch it for the second time.

Tommorrow, Paul gets a chance to redeem himself.......
