Kat seems to be emerging as one of the favorites’ to win BB9 – if not only because her fun-loving personality ensures that this year's show is not all about the recently-departed Alex!
Kat's even brought some much-needed entertainment to this week's shopping task thanks to her attempts to learn how to say “I apologise I have farted!’ in Japanese - a task that she took very seriously.
Big Brother asked her to repeat the phrase which you could see she genuinely didn’t know but was trying her best to figure it out.
What is clear with Kat is that she was trying hard in the task to help the other housemates. Unlike other contestants, she does not seems genuine and just wants to have a laugh.
It will be interesting to see if - now that Alex is out of the picture - Kat will emerge as an even bigger and stronger character within the house.
It is only the second week though so anything could happen.
In a week and a half, one housemate has been given the boot, we've had a love interest, several arguments and a lot of bitching.
Can they possibly fit anymore in? Let’s hope so!

New Mom Christina Aquilera Defends Late-Night Partying
New mom Christina Aguilera has defended her right to spend a night out without her baby son Max, saying that any criticism of her late-night outings with husband Jordan Bratman is downright "mean spirited."
"Once in a while, if I want to go out and have a mommy-daddy night with my husband, I am more than allowed to do that," Aguilera told Access Hollywood.
This past weekend she was at Las Vegas's Pure nightclub at Caesars Palace to celebrate the launch of an Xtina-inspired jewelry line, the Stephen Webster Silver Collection.
"I spend all day with my son," Aguilera, 27, told the TV show of her time spent with five-month-old Max.
"Everybody has an opinion and everybody sometimes wants to cause drama. But it's something that comes with what you do and I learned that very early on."

Amy Winehouse - Winehouse Is Recording Bond Track
Troubled singer AMY WINEHOUSE is working on a theme song for the forthcoming JAMES BOND film, according to super producer MARK RONSON.
Last month (Mar08) the Back To Black star's spokesman refuted claims she was secretly writing the title track for the movie.
But Ronson insists the pair has recorded a song and hopes it will be used for the upcoming blockbuster, Quantum Of Solace.
He says, "They asked Amy, and I think Amy said that if she did it, she'd want to do it with me. So hopefully something will come of it.
"The demo sounds like a James Bond theme, hopefully. But I don't know if it'll get used."
"I'm sure there are loads more really famous people that probably we're competing with and we don't know about. But hopefully I'll still be alive for at least 12 more Bond themes. If we don't get this one maybe we'll get another one."

Series co-creator Brian K. Vaughan and artist Adrian Alphona have agreed to write the film - about a group of teens who run away after discovering they are the offspring of supervillains.
The runaways then discover their own superpowers and proceed to challenge their parents in an attempt to correct the past.
According to EmpireOnline.com, Runaways is still in the early stages of development and, as a result, a shooting date is yet to be confirmed.

Lack of back-up leads to newfound freedom
ON TOUR Who: HDUWhere & when: Wellington, May 15, San Francisco Bath House; Auckland, May 17, King's Arms; Dunedin, May 29, Backstage; Christchurch, May 30, Al's Bar.Album: Metamathics is out nowIt's been a long time coming, but a new album and tour from HDU is likely to bring plenty of appreciative fans out of the woodwork.Guitarist and vocalist Tristan Dingemans, bass player Neil Phillips and drummer Dino Karlis, have been doing their own thing for a while but have also kept HDU ticking over since forming in Dunedin in the mid-1990s - despite some challenges.The creation of the newly released Metamathics album took a big setback when Karlis learned the hard way about why anything significant saved on a computer hard drive should be backed up."Basically I was a complete idiot and didn't back up my work for a long time and lost pretty much all the mixes and overdubs for a finished record - or about 90 per cent of it," Karlis admitted.
That was about four years ago, and at a stage where the band were already beginning to get a bit frustrated about how long it was taking to transform their music into a finished recording.While most people can relate to the frustration of losing work through technological failure, Karlis' experience was towards the top of the scale and took some coming to terms with.He said his reaction was "denial, bargaining, anger ... I ended up with acceptance somewhere along the way".His bandmates were nevertheless "polite" about it.Karlis said he moved on from the experience by coming up with new ideas about how to develop the music they had.He was living in Auckland at the time and was able to draw on the talents of a few musician friends, who contributed in various ways to the songs on Metamathics.It was an approach that got the thumbs up from Dingemans and Phillips and has added another dimension to the album.Karlis said the songs on Metamathics were quite different now than they had been shaping up to be before the computer incident."They're more experimental and less self-conscious," he said."There are new elements there and new approaches to the songs."It's the first album where we've used hand-claps, the first where we've used saxophone and the first where we've used piano."It's complex, but structurally very simple. In terms of instrumentation and sounds it's quite complex."HDU have gained an almost cult following here and overseas for their sound, which drifts between delicate soundscapes and intense and drawn out barrages of guitars and drums.The band were bemused to find legendary British radio DJ and journalist, the late John Peel, once labelled them "one of the 10 best bands in the world you've never heard of".

Janet Jackson - Jacksons First Tour In Seven Years
R+B superstar JANET JACKSON has announced she will be hitting the road to tour the U.S. and Canada - for the first time in seven years.
The Control hitmaker will open her Rock Witchu tour in Vancouver, British Columbia on 7 September (08), followed by dates in New York and Washington, D.C.
And the singer, who released her latest LP Discipline earlier this year (08), says she "can't wait" to perform to arena audiences, claiming she was all set to tour on the back of her 2006 record 20 Y.O., but was advised against it by her record company despite being mid-way through preparing the shows.
She explains, "I was supposed to go on tour with the last album. We were actually in full-blown tour rehearsals at that point... learning numbers, getting everything together, set designs, I had to kind of shut everything down and go into the studio."
According to concert promoter Live Nation, who are organising Jackson's upcoming tour, the full itinerary of shows will be announced shortly.
