Recap

On the night Tayleigh wins the Cell, Jet walks Abi into Bedroom 1 as a new freeloader. For most of S2 she goes by the alias "Britney" and falsely claims to be from North Carolina. Jimmy and Tayleigh are immediately suspicious.

1. Jet walks Abi in under the alias "Britney" claiming North Carolina origin

   Right after the cell wraps, Jet walks a new freeloader into the room and introduces her as "Britney from North Carolina." For most of the season the cast — and the audience — go on calling her Britney before the alias is dropped near the end.

Day 22 starts with IQ tests — Tayleigh highest, Trish lowest. An audience pays for a forced dinner-date between Jimmy and Abi. Tayleigh asks Jimmy to "have his associates take Abi out." The day's energy primes the mallet incident later that night.

1. IQ-test specifics; Trish wins the dinner-date prize

   Production runs a multi-stage IQ challenge culminating in a paid dinner-date. Trish wins, briefly stabilizing her standing on a day that otherwise tilts hard against her thanks to Jimmy's escalations.

Jimmy throws Abi's bag out the window onto the snow. Trish and Abi smash an ashtray Jimmy brought to the show. Tayleigh hides Jimmy's toy phone. The escalation chain runs from afternoon to mallet by night.

1. Jimmy throws Britney's bag out the window; ashtray smashed; mallet thrown

   Jimmy escalates after a series of confrontations with Abi (Britney): he throws her bag out the window, smashes an ashtray, and at the worst moment throws a mallet in her direction. The escalation is what production cites when ejecting him later in the day.

Oliver enters as a freeloader the same day Tayleigh punches Trish. He's quickly slapped by TJ in a bell-fight, and the audience starts a TTS campaign keeping him sleep-deprived.

1. Oliver enters mid-Day-23 and immediately starts a chip/social fight

   Oliver is walked in mid-Day-23 and within hours rings the bell on multiple cast members over chips and social slights. His arrival pivots the back-half social geometry: Oliver and Frank become the recurring antagonist tier, and Tai's quieter style fades by comparison.

Abi tells TJ she's considering leaving, then says goodbye to Tayleigh ("no hard feelings"), and walks out of the house — the freeloader cycle continues to thin.
