TASK - STRANDED



Today, six housemates will become stranded and the four remaining housemates will have to rescue the Strandees of their choice.

Housemates were called into the garden and six of them had to make their way into the large task room. Once inside, they became the self-appointed stranded housemates and discovered a survival camp base, made up of electric hobs, camp beds and reindeer skins. The stranded housemates are: Aaron, Aden, Alex, Faye, Harry and Jem.

The four housemates who are left in the garden (Anton, Louise, Jay and Tom) automatically became the Rescuers and will face individual challenges in order to rescue a stranded housemate of their choice. If the Rescuer fails their challenge, the Strandee that they have chosen will remain stranded.

Rescuers are allowed to try and save the same stranded housemate more than once.

Rescuer Challenges:

Challenge 1: Ski Slalom
One Rescuer must ski non-stop for 30 minutes on a ski slalom machine, without breaks. As there is no clock, housemates must use their own judgement of time. If the Rescuer ski’s for 30 minutes or more, then the stranded housemate of their choice will be freed.

Challenge 2: Don’t eat yellow snow
In the diary room, one Rescuer will be presented with five ice bowls containing different flavoured yellow snow. They must eat the entire contents of all bowls in five minutes and then write down the flavour of the snow that they just consumed. If they guess three or more flavours, the stranded housemate of their choice will be freed.

Challenge 3: Housemate vs. Yeti
One Rescuer housemate will go head to head in a fight against a Yeti. They will each throw a snowball one at a time. If the Rescuer beats the Yeti, then a stranded housemate of their choice will be freed.


Challenge 4: Mount BB
One Rescuer must climb 1344 metres on a stepper up Mount BB to rescue a stranded housemate. The distance of their climb will be shown on a plasma screen. The Rescuer is allowed as many breaks as they like but the Strandee of their choice will not be freed until they have reached the summit. If housemates give up or don’t reach the 1344 metres, then the stranded housemate of their choice will remain stranded.

Stranded housemates: Whenever stranded housemates hear the helicopter sound, one Strandee must take a red handkerchief in each hand, climb on top of the rock and shout “HELP!” 10 times whilst waving their arms in the air. If a Strandee fails to do this, then £10 will be subtracted from their overall shopping budget each time they incur a fail.

With four challenges and 4 stranded housemates, two stranded housemates will automatically be spending the night stranded – but who else will be staying over with them..?

The Metal Box: If housemates are stranded for more than nine hours, a note will be placed in the hatch with two clues on it which hold the answer to a combination lock on a metal box that contains food for the stranded housemates.

Reward: If Rescuers free three of the six stranded housemates, they will win a luxury shopping budget. If Rescuers free fewer than three strandees, they will fail the shopping task and receive a basic shopping budget.

The Rescuer housemates Anton, Jay, Louise and Tom have been set two out of four challengers so far in a quest to rescue the stranded housemates Aaron, Aden, Alex, Faye, Harry and Jem.

Jay was the first Rescuer to accept the challenge and Big Brother told him that he would have to ski for 30 minutes (as estimated by him and the other housemates) in order to save a stranded housemate of his choice. He chose to rescue Alex but failed the challenge, skiing for 29 minutes and 50 seconds.

Later on this afternoon, Louise accepted the second challenge and again chose to rescue Alex. She went into the diary room and had to eat five bowls of flavoured yellow snow (flavoured curry powder, lemon, ginger, fish sauce and cow’s urine). She successfully detected three of the five flavours (curry powder, lemon and fish sauce) and therefore won the challenge and rescued Alex.

Day 34: Housemates on the breadline

Organising the shopping list is always a stressful time for the housemates and having lived on little more than bananas all week, today was no exception. On failing this week's shopping task tempers seemed to be brewing in the Big Brother House as they debated over the £100 budget. One person who was uncharacteristically distant during this was Jay who decided instead to prepared onions in the kitchen.



With such a small budget compromises were made and luxuries were cut from the list. All luxuries that is apart from Alex’s blonde hair extensions which the house agreed to add to the list. There was controversy over who should take the shopping list to Big Brother. Not wanting a repeat of Harry’s banana prank (in which Harry ordered 500 bananas instead of the agreed items), Anton took it upon himself to see that the shopping list was taken to BB. It seems that spaghetti, beans and tuna will all be very familiar items to the housemates by the end of the week. These were among the few items ordered by the house. Other items included one potato, one free range turkey breast, larger and tobacco.



Well, the housemates better get inventive with their cooking… or get hungry.
