In The Lap Of HalfwitBig Brother doesn't have big horns growing out of the top of Big Brother's head. Nor does Big Brother have a long tail, or carry a fork of fire. But just because Big Brother doesn't look like the devil, doesn't mean Big Brother isn't a devil. Or a genius.
Over the past couple of days, Big Brother has had the housemates compete in a series of Tasks – Stavros Flatley, Kebabs, Changing the Guard – in order to fill the fridge and the larder. But it's all been a sham – a dirty trick! None of the Tasks the housemates have been competing in count for anything other than for Big Brother's amusement.
What a shocker!
The actual Task is all in the hands of Halfwit…
As Halfwit is Zeus, the Task rests solely on his shoulders. And for the Task, he must choose housemates to compete against each other in a series of three challenges: Strength, Weight Lifting and Wealth.
For the Strength Task, Halfwit chose Marcus and Thomas for an arm wrestling match which Thomas must win to pass the Task.
For the Weight Lifting Task, Halfwit again chose Marcus and Thomas, but for this Task Marcus must win to pass the Task.
For the Wealth Task, Halfwit chose Siavash to compete against Kenneth in a contest of assessing the value of items set before them. Siavash must win the challenge in order to pass the Task
Fairly straightforward as Tasks go, but there was a grim warning from Big Brother.
"If you reveal the details of the Secret Shopping Task to any other housemate, you will fail this week's Shopping Task. Do you understand?"
"I understand," replied Halfwit.
"It is strictly forbidden for you to reveal any details of this Diary Room conversation with any of your housemates. If you do so, you will fail this week's Shopping Task. Do you understand?" added Big Brother.
"I understand," replied Halfwit again before leaving the Diary Room with the world on his shoulders.
That is one tough Task…
