Set in the gritty American West, this two day task sees the 'The Good Housemates, The Bad Housemates and The Really Ugly Housemates' going head to head in the search for gold while fighting for immunity.

THE SHERIFF AND THE DEPUTY
Big Brother asks for the most powerful, strong-minded and influential Housemate to come to the Diary Room. The Sheriff also chooses one Housemate to be their Deputy. Their word is now final.

WHAT THEY ARE PLAYING FOR:

At the beginning of the task each team starts with one minute to pan for gold. Winning a mini task adds one minute extra to pan in the river on day two. The three teams will play two western inspired mini games on day one and another mini in the morning of day two. All games are judged by The Sheriff.

SUNDAY DAY ONE:

TASK 1: “Raw Hide”
The Sheriff and Deputy appoints one member of each team to take part. The three chosen Housemates will each choose who they want to shoot.

The three Housemates being shot at are locked inside stocks at one end of the Garden.

Housemates line up with their backs to the shooters. They are wearing chaps which have very realistic hard bums coming out of the back of them. The bums are the targets. The Cowboys / gals in the stocks have back pad / protectors on under their costume.
The shooters each have just 15 seconds to aim and shoot their bum target. Each team has a different colour paint to shoot with – Pink, White and Blue. After all three Housemates have shot, the Sheriff and Deputy will judge who the winner is based on who they think hit the targets the most amount of times.

TASK 2: “The Hoedown”:
The three groups must choreograph and perform their own group routine to a piece of country music played by a live Ukulele band in the House.
They all perform to the Sheriff and the Deputy who will decide the winners by awarding the winners with a first place rosette.



Now in the world of the Wild West.

Conor felt most at home in this world and so by going to the Diary Room became the Sheriff for the next two days. Conor chose Caroline to be his Deputy and together they chose The Good Housemates, The Bad Housemates and The Really Ugly Housemates.

The Good Housemates
Scott
Sara
Luke S

The Bad Housemates
Adam
Deana
Ashleigh

The Really Ugly Housemates
Lauren
Luke A
Becky



The Sheriff and his Deputy were charged with picking the housemate teams – The Good, The Bad and The Really Ugly – based onpersonality and giving reasons for their decisions.

Cheeky old Big Brother made them chose in the Diary room but put all activity up on the screen in the Living Room for fellow housemates to witness. Check out the breakdown:

The Good:

Scott – He is a good Catholic boy and has a good heart.

Sara – She’s very honest and moral.

Luke S – He took the joke yesterday so well and he cleans up.

The Bad:

Adam – He’s a bad man.

Deana – It says it for itself.

Ashleigh – She’s got a bad moth – a dirty mouth.

The Really Ugly

Lauren – She’s moany.

Luke A – He was an ugly warden. He was unjust and discriminated against us for our uninteresting conversation.

Becky – She’s superduper funny but her farts are ugly. Absolutely disgusting.



Becky took her team allocation well but later told Caroline she thinks Lauren is a 'spoon' – that is, a stirrer.

Deana sulked and Lauren, ironically confirming Caroline’s decision to put her in The Really Ugly team, moaned and asked Conor and Caroline if they thought she had an ugly personality.

Luke A was also upset, saying he was only trying to be a fair warden.

Caroline said, "Why do people take things so personally? We just made random groups."

Conor responded, "I only wanted to break up the teams. I f people have a problem with it, I don’t care."

Big Brother has chained together the Bad housemates with shackles which must remain on for the entirety of the task – aside from toilet and Diary Room visits and sleep tonight.

There is tension in the teams already. Will this push the housemates to breaking point or will the threesomes form new friendship groups?

Day 42: The Gold Rush continues with Spaghetti Western!


Never one to let a good pun go to waste, Big Brother's set up a lovely, pasta-based task as the Gold Rush continues.

Spaghetti Western will see The Good, The Bad and The really Ugly Housemates go head-to-head in a ‘Cowboy Vs Food’ eating challenge. They'll be expected to eat their way through huge mounds of spaghetti to scoop victory.

When the task's all done, plates will be inspected by the Sheriff and The Deputy and they'll award the winners based on which team they believe has eaten the most amount of spaghetti.

The team crowned the winners will win an extra thirty seconds of panning for gold time in the ‘Rocky River of Gold’ later today. And remember – while The Sheriff and Deputies' decisions may be final, Big Brother is the law.




TASK: THE GOLD RUSH DAY 2

TASK 3: SPAGHETTI WESTERN
For today’s task “Spaghetti Western”, the good, the bad and the really ugly housemates will be going head to head in a ‘Cowboy Vs Food’ eating challenge, eating their way through huge mounds of spaghetti.

The plates will be inspected by the Sheriff and The Deputy at the end of the task and they will award the winners based on which team they believe has eaten the most amount of spaghetti.

The team crowned the winners will win thirty seconds of panning for gold time in the ‘Rocky River of Gold’ later today.

The Sheriff and Deputies decisions are final but Big Brother is the law.
THE ROCKY RIVER OF GOLD

For the final challenge, the ‘good housemates’, the ‘bad housemates’ and the ‘ugly housemates’ will be frantically panning head to head in “The Rocky River of Gold”. The group which pans the most amount of gold in The Rocky River of Gold will win ‘The Gold Rush’, and receive a very special prize: immunity from today’s nominations.

The gold from each team will be collected. If it passes a certain level then housemates will receive a luxury shopping budget this week.

NASTY FACE TO FACE NOMINATIONS:

As the day draws to a close, housemates find themselves out on the range playing cards... and taking part in face to face campfire nominations.

Housemates each have a pack of cards. On each card is the face of a housemate who could be nominated. The three housemates who won immunity earlier on today are safe and have had their cards removed from the deck.

Housemates must choose the two Housemates they wish to nominate by selecting their cards from the deck and one by one revealing the Housemate they wish to nominate, giving their reasons why.

THE ROCKY RIVER OF GOLD



Housemates will shortly be entering the Garden for the final challenge “The Rocky River of Gold”. All teams have automatically been granted with 1 minute to pan for gold.

The Good Housemates have 2 minutes panning for gold as they won ‘Raw Hide’ and ‘Spaghetti Western’.

The Bad Housemates have 1 minute panning for gold as they won no tasks.

The Really Ugly Housemates won ‘The Hoedown’ and have 1 minute 30 seconds to pan for gold.

The winning team will be granted immunity from tonight’s nominations and the accumulated amount of gold will decide whether or not they pass or fail this week’s shopping task.
