Big Brother evictee Bianca Benigno has described one of the tasks on the reality TV show as "mental torture".
Benigno from Queensland, who was evicted from the Network Ten series on Sunday night, says she's still upset that contestants were tricked into thinking there was a "mole" in the house, and told they must find out who it was.
"I cannot see the benefit for us for doing that task, it completely mentally tortured us for three days," Benigno said on Monday.
"It was so hard to question your own character and it was just the most dreadful feeling and to find out it was all a joke, it was really, really hurtful."
The fiery 18-year-old was outraged when she found out they had been tricked and threw over a clothes horse.
"I don't regret the emotion that I felt because I don't like liars and I don't like people deceiving me," Benigno said.
"But I do regret that I didn't think about it logically, and think why is Rima doing this - it's the obligations that she has to the show, and maybe she didn't anticipate that we would get that emotional.
"But that's the mystery, that's what you sign up for."
One of the most vocal contestants in this year's series, Benigno frequently got into fights with other housemates but said she was now a changed girl, and respected her generation more.
Benigno also spoke of her relationship with Ben, saying she was upset that people think she was trying to force another housemate to cuddle or "spoon" her at night, insisting that it was all a joke.
"A few people have been asking me this morning (and saying) you were so forceful, you made it look like you were forcing the poor boy in to it, like it was sexual harassment," Benigno said.
"Seriously it was the biggest joke in there.
"It was done because Ben's so dry and sarcastic and he gives it to everyone in there, but we always find it hard to give it back to him so it was something we could go, ha ha ha, Mr Awkward Spooner.
"It was just funny, it wasn't like let's spoon because I really want to touch you, Ben."
