Over the previous two days robots have risen up and taken over the Big Brother House. For this week’s shopping task housemates have been trying to take back control by taking on the robots in a series of epic Man V Machine battles.

So far, Ben, Josie, Nathan, Steve and Coaimhe have battled with the robots – with Josie and Nathan failing to beat their metal nemesis. This means that for the duration of the task Josie and Nathan have been robots. Corin and Ife were also caught out by the Chaser-Bot 3000 in the Garden which means they have also joined the dark side.

Yesterday evening was the time for human housemates to take part in one final battle. Human housemates were given their very own mobile fighting machines which they customised in preparation for a combat to overcome Bigger Brother.

Human housemates entered the arena of devastation and had three minutes to defeat their rival android. Housemates had to survive in the arena for three minutes, if just one of them survived by the end (i.e. not flipped out, not destroyed or not in the ‘Pit of Oblivion’) then the housemates would win the shopping task.

Bigger Brother annihilated all six of the housemate’s bots meaning that they have failed this weeks shopping task and will be left with an economy shopping budget.
