Actress Thalia Zucchi, has been sent into the house by Channel four in order to stir things up abit. This week the housemates have been led to believe that 'Pauline', the new addition to the Big Brother house, has been flown in from the Australian version of the show, and that former housemate, Laura Williams, has been flown over to Australia to take her place. This is the main component of Big Brothers 'Fake Week', designed cause disruption in and out of the house.
As well as 'Pauline's' introduction to the house, many other things are involved in the house's 'Fake Week'. For example a 'fake eviction' will take place on friday. The 'fake' evictee's interview with Davina, will be shown to the housemates on the screen, before the housemate is controversially sent back into the house. The housemate's will be set Australian themed tasks throughout the week, to mask the real task set; whether or not the rest of the 10 housemates can figure out that Pauline, is really a 'fake'.
There are doubts as to whether Thalia can keep up the 'Australian act' all week, or will she be unmasked as a fake by the rest of the house? If they do manage to do so they will receive a luxury shopping budget.
