Chloe was removed from the house for a violent outburst at the night time. Due to this behaviour she could not stay in the house, as she would cause more friction between fellow housemates.

Harri had walked, as she could not take it. Being told once by Chloe, that she cannot sleep in the same bed as Marc, she then eventually gave way later on and packed her bags and booked a taxi back home.

Series 3 (2011)
Filming for series 3 began on 20 March and ended on 12 April 2011. It began airing on 14 August 2011 and follows the same format as the previous series'. Just like the previous series', the series is made up of eight contestants; Jack Woodman, Ryan Lee Cox, Tom Latham, Enzo Salerno, Gracie Dudley, Sophie Simpson, Jade Franklin and Ruby-Jo Leverton. Sophie said she was planning to walk after the elimination in Episode 1 after she had been told she was eliminated. Enzo was also considering walking in Episode 2, which was the main reason for his elimination despite arguably having shown the largest attempt in the house to grow up. Tom and Jack attempted to leave at the beginning of Episode 3, yet without any money or a place to go they stayed in the house. After losing her money in Episode 4 Gracie was considering walking, yet eventually decided to stay. In Episode 6 Ruby Jo, Tom & Ryan had to renovate a family home wherein the occupants have certain difficulties in life. Ryan Cox eventually won the series and Ruby Jo has decided to re-enter the competition after her experiences during her stay.
