The Housemates have been struggling to undo Maxwell and Anthony's hilarious sugar and salt mixing prank.
While the practical joke might have been hysterical when Roberto was forced to spit out a mouthful of coffee spiked with the concoction, the funny side has definitely worn off.
Driven by his sweet tooth, Kemal desperately tried to think up a way to separate the mixture so he could bake a cake.
Consulting Makosi he asked, "If you mix salt and sugar and you boil it, will the salt go first?" The nurse seemed certain the salt would indeed evaporate first. "But the sugar would go right behind it," she added.
Yet seconds later Makosi suddenly seemed unsure and burst into a fit of giggles. "Can't you make a cake with salt?" she suggested.
Luckily, knowledgeable Craig - an expert on all matters - was on hand to give more authoritative, if inaccurate, advice.
"Salt and sugar are actually very similar molecule-wise," he lectured. "We need a distilling machine," he concluded.
With his hopes dashed, Kemal fretted that the salty mixture was so dangerous they wouldn't be able to use it at all. Yet Craig pointed out they'd already diced with death by sampling Sam's salty cooking.
With sour comments like that, Craig could do with a little sweetener himself.
