The Italian JobsAfter waking up to find a stage set up in the Garden, a leaning tower of Pisa, and an ice-cream shop popped up out of nowhere, the housemates were in confusion about what today might bring. Of course, after a quick look around, Big Brother announced that these weren't play things, but integral items for the 2-day shopping task.
After going to the Diary Room to collect instructions, Kris read out the details. For today's task the House is getting a little Italian shakedown - and all the housemates have to take on some Italian roles.
Two housemates must run Big Brother's 24-hour gelato shop, and be on hand to make ice creams whenever Big Brother phones in an order.
Three housemates must take on the mantle of the Three Tenors - and take on the big voiced operatic roles to perform Nessun Dorma.
One housemate must become a resident fashionista, to keep up with current trends at all time. While three more must become two Italian footballers (presumably without the bulging Serie A pay packet) and sports reporter. Every time the footballers hear GOALAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZIO they must give a demonstration of the passion and drama Italian footballers are so well known for. The sports reporter, meanwhile, must learn how to predict football scores.
Finally two housemates will pick up their easels and clay and become artists - true renaissance housemates, obviously.
If they pass three or more challenges, it's a luxury budget. If not, it's back to a £1 per head per day.
After some deliberation, Marcus came up with a plan: "People who know how to do stuff good should do that. The ice cream task is the easiest to fail, so if you can't do anything, you should do that."
So, Dogface and Sree are in the ice-cream shop; Karly, Halfwit and Rodrigo become the tenors; Siavash is the fashionista; Noirin and Marcus are the artists, while Kris and Charlie become the footballers and Lisa the sports reporter.
