For today’s task, heavenly housemates will be competing against housemates from hell to build models of the ‘Millennium Dome’ and ‘St Paul’s Cathedral’ out of cake.
The current Head of House Rachel will decide the winning team. The winning team will then decide amongst themselves which one of their team members will become the new Head of House.
Head of House Rachel will be called to the Diary Room later today. Big Brother will explain that for today’s task heaven will compete against hell to bake London.

Today is the 8th of the 8th 2008, the luckiest date in the Chinese Calendar. However, it’s not lucky for everyone, because today either Dale or Stuart will leave the Big Brother house.
So today Big Brother is going to test bad luck superstitions to see if they are true, or in fact just mumbo jumbo.
This test will take the form of an obstacle course. Each obstacle will be a physical representation of various bad luck superstitions, and Stuart and Dale must complete the course as many times as possible in a 30 minute period. The housemate who completes the most circuits should, according to superstition, have created more bad luck for themselves and therefore, if the concept of superstition is correct, they should be evicted tonight.
If the winner is not evicted, Big Brother will therefore have proved categorically that superstitions are nothing more than mumbo jumbo.
The course will test the following superstitions: Read more & comment »

For this week’s Big Brother shopping task, all housemates will learn about the world of Puppet Theatre.
Heavenly housemates will learn to perform a spectacular theatrical sequence in the style of contemporary Japanese Bunraku. The sequence is that of a fantastical Table Tennis Match, where the characters can fly and stop the ball in mid air.
Bunraku is a form of Japanese puppetry that uses puppeteers dressed in black, ‘invisibly’ manipulating objects and people whilst standing against a black background. In order to pass their part of the shopping task, heavenly housemates must practice and perform to Big Brother’s satisfaction. Read more & comment »

For today’s Head of House challenge, housemates must recite the alphabet backwards.
Big Brother will call each housemate to the Diary Room individually. Each housemate will be required to wear a specially designed alphabet hat to help them to focus on the task ahead.
Housemates will be given one minute to perform facial exercises to warm up their face and mouth. They will then be required to recite the alphabet backwards as quickly as possible.
If housemates should make a mistake, Big Brother will not tell them until they get to the end (A). They must then go back to the beginning (Z) and start again. The clock will continue to run until housemates have successfully recited all 26 letters in reverse order without making any mistakes. Read more & comment »
