The next few days will see Channel 4 bosses biting their finger nails to see whether the injection of new housemates into the show will revive, or at least maintain, viewing figures.
Despite a spike in figures for Friday night's eviction of Charley, the average nightly audience remains the lowest since the series began eight years ago.
And with Chanelle now having joined Charley in leaving the house, the two main subjects of interest have gone.
So it's over to student Kara-Louise Horne, 22, and store manager David Parnaby, 25, to pick up the baton. They were chosen by the regular housemates to move into the main house while Ziggy volunteered to go in the other direction to spend some time in the halfway house.
It's all a bit confusing.
And it appears the inclusion of Shanessa - who has already seen fit to perform a lap dance for Gerry and discard what little clothing she went in with - and Jonty, who is a 38-year-old eccentric (nutter) who plays with puppets, is a clear attempt by programme makers to revert to shock tactics to get viewers.
So expect more car crash TV over the next few days...
