For this week’s shopping task, housemates will become zombies and perform a routine inspired by the famous dance sequence from Michael Jackson’s Thriller video.

Big Brother will today call Head of House Rex to the Diary Room to collect a laminate containing the details of the task.

Big Brother will show the housemates the original video, followed by a demo DVD of the routine they will be learning. This will be played onto the plasma screen in the living area.

As Head of House, Rex will become choreographer and must oversee the housemates as they learn the routine. Rex will also be responsible for selecting someone to take the lead position as Michael Jackson.
Housemates will receive rehearsal costumes and instructional DVDs to help them learn the routine.

To help the dancers practice their performance, a rehearsal area has been marked out in the garden, to replicate their final performance area. They must perform to Big Brother’s satisfaction in order to win a luxury shopping budget this week.
