The housemates should’ve been very happy bunnies last night when they learned that despite some of the housemates failing their individual tasks, the group overall passed and will therefore have a luxury shopping budget this week.

All nine of them will live a life of luxury in King Henry’s Court and the remaining housemates will be cooks with the exception of one who must take on a ‘special role’. However, none of the housemates yet know that this ’special role’ is the role of Village Idiot! Read more & comment »
