Australia's Brainiest Housemate

Host Sandra Sully actually takes time to explain the multiple choice round, with the three and one set up of the answers. Throwing their arms up in the air, the Big Brother housemates keep each other in check with answers pretty close to right. With the round closing up, Bree Amer whips out glasses from nowhere but it's a tactic not enough to stay in the game. She's out with dopey Saxon Small and smirking Greg Logan on the side.

Chrissie Swan powers through the second round, knocking down Music and Pot Luck for 13 and 6 respectively. Pete Timbs does well in the first half clocking up 8 on TV, fizzling with 4 on Current Affairs. Barely still and over the podium, Jess Hardy gets the little school girl treatment from teacher Sully as she bombs both 4 for Natural World and 5 in Science. Trevor Butler, Timbs and Hardy are out with the three all showing signs of defeat during second half antics.

Squaring off, Tim Brunero lines up Federal Politics of 2000-2005, Swan with 1980s Pop Music and Jemma Gawned on the Chakra System. Sheepish, each of them stick to their tiles, not brave enough to jump around stealing points from across the board. Brunero is shaky and barely knows his politics. Swan knocks down the pop music without a beat as does Gawned, confident neither of the other two are willing to test their knowledge on Chakra.

With no real upset on tile stealing, the three descend upon the silver general knowledge questions. Brunero barely stays in the game, there as a matter of numbers than outright challenge. Swan slips and leaves Gawned to take out the block of glass and title. Throwing the prize money toward Kids Help Line, Gawned offers to split half with Swan's charity.
