Big Brother's housemates have nominated Stuart and Rachel to be the pair facing the public vote this Friday.
The fifth round of eviction nominations in the ninth series of Big Brother narrowly saw Rex's girlfriend Nicole avoid being put up, despite attracting three votes.
Rachel, the third least popular housemate, got six votes compared to Stuart's six. Nicole received three.
"Oh my God, what a shock," said Stuart on hearing the news. Rachel, appearing a little remorseful, said "I didn't realise I upset so many of you."
The result is good news for Nicole, who has avoided the traditional Big Brother trap of newcomers being booted out as quickly as they come in.
She is referring, of course, to the cake task. As Rex put it: "I wasn't upset that she gave it to hell, it was that she lied to all the housemates that it was better. It was clear which was the better cake."
Stuart, meanwhile, was criticised for "wanting to be here the least" and "being nasty".
Both Rex and Mohamed, who have received the most nominations across the series, did not receive any this week.
