Rebeckah

Rebeckah Vaughan (born 1983) was a hostess from the Wirral.

Tashie

Tashie Jackson (born 1990) was a singer and actress from Oxford.

On Day 40, Tashie re-entered the house to play a part in the Scream task, appearing to Alex in the small task room as a dog with human head.

Tom

Thomas "Tom" O'Connell (born 1990) was a bisexual[24] sales assistant from Solihull, West Midlands.[25][26] Shortly after entering the House, he was informed that his grandfather had died, but he decided to remain in the House. On Day 26, Tom's efforts in meeting his target for doll production in the Toy Factory task gained the housemates a shopping budget of £500, despite his fellow 'workers' sabotaging the task with disruptive behaviour. On Day 31, Tom won a date with ex-contestant Rebeckah during the 'Let's get smashed' task.[22] On Day 41, he joined fellow housemates Aaron, Jem and Louise at the preview night of horror movie Paranormal Activity 3.[2] Like Alex, Tom never faced the public vote until Week 9, when he was evicted on 10 November, receiving fewer votes to win than any of the other remaining housemates. He thus finished in fifth place. Following the prize fund twist, Tom left the house with a reward of £10, plus a promised share of the four finalists' winnings.
