Today, the housemates have been challenged to a Tug of War, with a twist.

Channel 4’s BB site said of the task, ‘Two housemates are pitched against each other in a simple tug-o-war.

‘However, instead of pulling a rope, housemates each wear a pair of tights over their heads (tied together at the feet) and must use their body strength to pull each other across lines on opposite sides of the garden.’ Read more & comment »

As part of the Uber Cougar’s challenge yesterday, Buxom Bombshell Corin had to break through a male torso crafted from ice to get to, a pair of pants.

Eww.

The only things she could use – aside from her super powers – were a comb, a hairdryer, a hair brush and a make up brush.

But she managed to break into the ice and retrieve the pants for a £100 shopping reward and Ben’s freedom! Read more & comment »

It’s just been revealed on Channel 4’s Big Brother website that this week’s shopping task is now underway…

And it seems that a mysterious woman is holding all the male housemates in the Uber Cougar Lair!

Earlier today, Big Brother set the housemates a task called, Dizzy Quiz.

It entailed the housemates spinning around poles – as per Kate Lawler if you recall that hilarious drinking game! – while answering questions about the newcomers.

The housemates were split into three teams; yellow, blue and green, and ultimately, the green team won.

The green team comprised Ife John James and Dave who will all share a meal with the newbies while the rest of the housemates will be locked in the main house.

Will the meal all go smoothly? We’ll let you know! Read more & comment »

The housemates have a new task ahead today, and it’s all about getting to know the new housemates.

Here’s what Channel 4’s Big Brother website says about the task…

‘In order to get to know the new housemates, Big Brother will be setting the original housemates a Dizzy Quiz. The winning team will get to attend a celebratory dinner with the new housemates in the kitchen, while the losers will be left locked in the main house.

‘Original housemates are put into three teams by the new housemates; the teams will then have 30 minutes of revision time in which to swot up on facts about their new housemates before the quiz… Read more & comment »

Last night, Big Brother offered Josie a chance to win some booze for the housemates…

He told her in the Diary Room that all she had to do was collect as many shoes as she could – without the other HMs noticing – and take them to the Diary Room.

She was further told that if she was in danger of being sussed, she was allowed to tell one housemate about her task.

It all started well as Josie piled random shoes into a bin bag, but it began to fall apart when Caoimhe noticed her shoes had gone missing… Read more & comment »

The BB Housemates were set an endurance task yesterday, and told that the winner would receive a “special prize.”

The task involved “the three most competitive Housemates” sitting on children’s fairground rides for a maximum of four hours, however, Big Brother told them that as the rides were children themed, they must not swear. Anyone who did would be disqualified.

John James, Corin and Dave were chosen to do the task, but John was the first to fall foul of the swearing rule as he swore while trying to start up his ride with a pound coin… Read more & comment »

Yesterday, Big Brother told Rodrigo that he was to have tea with the Queen, which sent the poor lad into paroxysms of delight. When he went off to meet Her Majesty, the other housemates were told it was up to them to convince Rodrigo he had in fact met the real Queen.

When he left his afternoon tea with the Queen – who was of course really a royal impersonator – he could barely contain his excitement as he told the rest of the group what had happened. And it appears that the group managed – childishly easily – to convince Rodrigo that his encounter had been with the real monarch… Read more & comment »

As part of this week’s shopping task, Rodrigo has been called to the diary room to meet the Queen, or, more precisely, a Queen lookalike. Poor Rodrigo.

It seems that cruel BB gathered the housemates on the sofas before calling Rodrigo into the diary room. He then told Rodrigo that following their posting of his letter to her Maj, she had consented to meet with him.

“Oh my GOD!!!!” screamed Rodrigo in the diary room while the others watched on the plasma screen.

“Big Brother asked the Queen if she would be able to pop in for tea” said Big Brother.

“You’re joking, Big Brother” gasped Rodrigo. Read more & comment »

Marcus and Sree got into another big row yesterday, which seems to have become something of a tradition whenever a task is due…

Marcus tells Sree not to “f**k about” and Sree responds with the very imaginative, “Shut your face” and yesterday was no different.

Here’s a clip from their row…

And that of course wasn’t the end of it. Read more & comment »
