On Sunday night’s Big Brother show, Yinrun made a devastating admission: she believes her housemates don’t want to communicate to her.
The home is now participating in its first shopping task to earn money for the food and beverage budget.
The housemates have been separated into three groups as part of the challenge: the big wigs (who are, unsurprisingly, sporting huge wigs), middle management, and the bottoms.
Big Brother chose Yinrun, Trish, and Henry for the top posts and assigned the remaining roles.
Yinrun spoke in Trish about feeling overlooked by the other roommates during a heart-to-heart in their big wig office.
‘I’m so happy to be up here because you are here, because you two are here,’ she began.
‘Otherwise, I would just be there doing the paperclip and no one would talk to me.’
The ‘workers’ at the bottom of the list were instructed to sort paper clips into different colour groups.
‘They would just say “How are you doing?” and I’d say “I’m great, thank you” and that’s it.’
‘Is that all they keep doing to you?’ responded Trish.
‘Yes,’ confirmed Yinrun. ‘Nothing else. Every time. “How are you doing?” I’m like “Great” then they just walk away. I’m like “Talk to me”.’
Trish then offered her new buddy words of encouragement.
‘They are missing out on you because you’re so f*****g hilarious. The people who get to talk to you get to see how fantastic you are.’
We’d love it if Trish could give us daily uplifting SMS after she’s finished with Big Brother and gets her phone back.
Trish isn’t the only one rooting for Yinrun; many fans turned to X, previously Twitter, to show their support.
‘NOOOO THE HOUSEMATES ARENT PROPERLY TALKING TO YINRUN MY HEART 💔💔,’ wrote one empathetic viewer.
Another added: ‘Not Yinrun saying no one speaks to her. She breaks my heart omg. We must protect her at ALL costs. She is too precious.’
One person watching at home was completely here for the Trish and Yinrun friendship: ‘Hearing Yinrun saying people wouldn’t talk to her but Trish giving her words of affirmation…I cannot.’

Elsewhere in the episode, tensions began to rise among the housemates, notably between Kerry and Farida, who disagreed on how to best carry out the mission.
Farida irritated Hallie the other day when she asked her about relationships as a trans person.
Farida, 50, decided to ask Hallie if the individuals who liked her were homosexual. Hallie answered calmly, explaining that because she is a woman, the males would not be gay, but afterwards expressed her little irritation to fellow housemates.
