we were all instructed to gather in the living room once more, anticipation filling the air. the tension was palpable as we exchanged knowing glances, each of us wondering who would be the unfortunate soul to face elimination.

the uncertainty hung heavy, like a thick fog, enveloping the room.

' housemates as starplayer was the last man standing in the group challenge. he is immune from elimination'

we quickly applauded stars, thankful that he got to stay in the house for another day.

' however , one of you will be leaving the locked in house tonight '

the room filled with a crimson hue as sugar revealed there'd be an elimination.

' the housemates in the bottom two of the public vote are. fu izzy and tennessee. as you are in the bottom two of the public vote. your fellow housemates will now decide which one of you will be next to leave. '

ten and fu made their way to the center of the room and stood there. after that, it was voting time, and we had to share our reasons for voting for them.

' this is horrible. i'm gonna vote tennessee to go home , only on the basis of , obviously the conversation with your mum you said you'd be happy to go. or you're happy to say. but that shit. i know you're missing ur sister and stuff. i don't really know what else to say. ' george was the first one to raise his voice and share his thoughts on why he was voting for ten.

with passion in his eyes and conviction in his words, he eloquently explained his reasoning, leaving everyone in awe.

but as he settled back into his seat, a wave of dismay washed over him, and he couldn't help but mutter,  ' this is horrible. '

' i love both of you , but i feel i have a bit of a better connection with fu. so i'm gonna go ten ' danny dropped a bombshell by confessing that he actually voted for ten to go home. surprisingly, it didn't really shock anyone.

' i'm so sorry fu. but she's just one of the girls , i've got to save ten ' ash made a bold move and became the first person to cast her vote against fu.

' i've got to connect with you both on a. dry deep level. and i think the person im picking is because i feel like they have a bigger why to stay. i feel like from the discussions that we've had i feel like they'll have a lot more to lose if they left now. so im voting for tennessee ' joyce made a surprising vote that had everyone on edge.

and i realised that if one more person voted for ten, she would be the unlucky one going home.

' i am so sorry but i've got to save my boy , no matter who i vote we are losing somebody from M4. so im sending tennessee home ' stars revealed , meaning ten had the majority of votes.

my heart plummeted into the depths of my stomach, and in that moment, i instinctively reached out and clasped jaci's hand, offering her a steady source of support.

i knew that tennessee held a special place in her heart, a person who brought her comfort and joy in this chaotic experience.

understanding the pain i had been feeling since shannon's departure, k felt a deep empathy within me.

without  hesitation, kaci and i rose from our seats, drawn by an unspoken understanding, and enveloped her in a warm embrace.

as we held her tightly, we whispered our heartfelt goodbyes, hoping to provide a small measure of solace in that bittersweet moment.

' tennessee as you have the majority of the votes , you will now be leaving the locked in house. please say your goodbyes and grab your things '

kaci was in tears, and i rushed over to comfort her, wrapping my arms around her in a tight embrace. i could feel her trembling, and i held her even closer, trying to offer as much support as i could.

as i held onto kaci, something unexpected happened. tears welled up in my own eyes, and before i knew it, i was crying too.

it was a bittersweet moment, saying goodbye to ten. we had all grown so close, and seeing one of our girls leave was really tough.

and then, right before ten walked out the door, she said something that caught us all off guard. she said, ' it's only right that, like i said before, i was gonna leave. i was gonna cuss you all out and give you some home truths. it wouldn't be tennessee if I didn't do it '

we couldnt help but burst into laughter at her words. ten always knew how to keep things real and make us smile, even in the midst of sadness.

but her words didn't end there. She looked right at george and said, ' george, you're actually fine, but you just need to stop following everyone at night and go with your own decisions. '

it was a mix of a playful tease and genuine advice. he words resonated with him, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

then, she continued addressing the rest of the boys . She said, ' fu, i don't really have that much bad to say about you. uou're just a funny guy, a bit childish, but it's fine. keep being you '

we all laughed at that, knowing she meant it in the best way possible.

ten didn't hold back with her honesty. she turned to stars and said, ' stars, stop showing your bum crack, ' which had us all bursting into laughter once again.

and then, she shifted her attention to ash, saying, ' i don't know what to say for you, ash. just know that you're fine, but maybe just grow a little.'

as for me and kaci, ten had nothing but praise for us. she told us, ' there's literally nothing bad i can see about you two. ' it was a testament to our amazing qualities and the strong bond we shared.

and she turned to joyce ' joyce , you gotta lighten up at night, girl," she said, with a playful smile

finally , ten turned to danny with a mischievous glint in her eye and said, ' danny, i'm not gonna flinch one bit when i see that relationship announcement up on instagram once you're outta here. '

then, with a sly wink, she had us all in stitches. the room erupted with laughter as we couldn't contain ourselves.

it was one of those moments where you just feel so connected and filled with love. as ten walked away, kaci and i couldn't help but scream at the top of our lungs, ' we love you, ten '

it was a mix of emotions, but the joy and camaraderie we shared in that moment were absolutely priceless.

' ash. how are you feeling after leaving the red box for someone else in the challenge '

' how can you leave little maeve birdie there crying in the bloody red box. you just can't. i'm not a monster. you know what i mean ' ash was explaining why she didn't regret leaving the red box for maeve.  and seeing maeve's reaction to her calling her family was totally worth it.
