Eugene is struggling to come to terms with being £50,000 richer tonight, the burden of guilt causing him to burst into tears.
"The right answer would have been to walk away and leave it to the winner," he told Kinga.
"I would have taken it," Kinga assured him.
"But I am high and mighty with morals, aren't I?" he said, causing Kinga to ask if he thinks she is not.
Eugene went to his bed to cry his eyes out and again Kinga comforted him.
"I wanted to come in here to be liked!" he wailed. "I wanted everyone to think Eugene's a really nice person, really genuine."
Kinga kissed him and told him, "I'm always here for you, Eugene and I know you're a wonderful person. The public know you're a lovely person."
"They probably think I'm a b****** now," he said, which made Kinga laugh, unintentionally. She told him there were probably thousands of people watching him urging him to take the money.
But somehow Eugene couldn't be convinced that he wasn't the spawn of the devil himself. "The funny thing is, I thought by being myself and being genuine, I might have a small chance of winning. By trying to stand up for what I believed in. Now I've selfishly taken half of it."
"I suggest you start dealing with your decision," advised Kinga.
"I feel guilty for the people who voted me in who will be disgusted with me now," he said. "That's the last time I go to the Diary Room when they ask for a Housemate to."
Quite right. If he won any more money he wouldn't be able to live with himself.
