Big Brother 9 housemates Jennifer Clark and Dennis McHugh have been sent to the house's jail for rule-breaking.
The pair had been talking about their auditions for the show, a banned subject under Channel 4 rules.
Big Brother called all housemates to the sofas and asked those who had discussed nominations to stand up.
Dennis, Jennifer, Rebecca Rice, Kathreya Kasisopa, Rex Newmark, Sylvia Barrie and new housemate Stuart Pilkington all got to their feet, with Big Brother reprimanding them for continuing to discuss the matter, despite numerous warnings.
"Two of you will go to jail until further notice," Big Brother told them. "You have one minute to decide which two of you will be punished and go to jail. Your time starts now."
Dennis and Jennifer put themselves forward, having admitted to being the worst offenders, and were told: "Dennis and Jennifer, you must go to jail immediately."
And though he had been punished for speaking out of turn, the duo decided to pass the time in the jail by badmouthing blind housemate Mikey Hughes.
"I find Mikey unbearable," Jennifer said. "I can't stand him. I find everything that comes out of his mouth just repulsive."
And Dennis, who had said he thought he cope with the Scottish radio producer, then replied: "I cannot bear to hear him any more. Can you imagine watching that all summer? You'd be traumatised! I don't even want him in here."
Mario Marconi later told Mikey he failed to understand how Jennifer, Dennis et al had managed to land themselves in trouble, saying: "It's not hard to adhere to, is it?
"It's not like you're declaring yourself under the Official Secrets Act. They're just saying 'keep your gob shut and use your common sense'."
