SHOPPING TASK - THE BUDGET: DAY 1 TIME TO MAKE CUTS



OVERVIEW

Housemates must earn money for the budget in this penny pinching shopping task. One group of housemates become the Treasury. It is the Treasury’s job to earn money for the budget by implementing various cuts across the 2 days.

The other housemates will be helping to earn money for the house by complying with these cuts. In order to control spending, it is up to the Treasury to decide what cuts they wish to issue the housemates with. The harsher cuts they give them the more money they will earn, but the worse the housemates’ lives will be. There will also be treats, but they will come at a price.

HOW IT WORKS

The Treasury

The Gina, Dexter and Charlie have become the Treasury. Their task is to earn as much money as they can by implementing cuts that the rest of the house must endure. They will also be tempted with special treats that would take money away from the shopping budget. When making cuts the Treasury will go to the large task room, where the rest of the house has gathered.

The Treasury make their first cut of the day; strike the beds or all housemates clothes (RAISE £90)

Day 28: Sneaky Safe House decision

The housemates' shopping budget is taking a hammering, as Dexter, Gina and Charlie make a rather selfish luxury choice... www.channel5.com

Day 28: Wolfy winds everybody up

Oh wolfy, you rebel you. Against the better wishes of her housemates, she's adamant she wants to blow the budget. www.channel5.com

Day 28: Gina - 'people really are nasty'

Something tells us that Gina prefers watching the housemates, than being around them... Enjoy her privately moaning to Dexter www.channel5.com

If these two want to see nasty all they have to do is look in a mirror.

Dexter and Gina living in the lap-of-luxury on the backs of the the other housemates is a reflection on the have's and have nots in society.

Jackie once again calling out the injustice of the have's.

Day 29: The Budget task update

Yesterday, Big Brother gave the housemates their weekly shopping task, The Budget. Gina, Dexter and Charlie were appointed as Big Brother's Treasury, and they had a series of tough decisions to make in order to raise funds via 'taxes' that would be exacted on the housemates via mini tasks.
So, the housemates' clothes were taken away for the rest of the task, Hazel was stripped of her makeup and the twins had to spend hours painstakingly spelling out words on toast in alphabet spaghetti. Oh, and the Treasury took away the housemates' cigarettes!

Of course, it's not all that simple: Big Brother offered many temptations in the form of makeovers, booze and pool privileges. Of course, every single one of these was accepted, and every single one of them will cost the housemates dearly.

Today, housemates were summoned to the Treasury Chamber to hear the day's first taxes. Instead of potentially cutting one housemate out of the show's next edit, or depriving all the girls of their makeup, the Treasury chose two taxes sure to make waves.

Dan and Wolfy must remain handcuffed together for the duration of the task, and Jack and Joe have been tasked with another messy food task: they must sort a huge tub of mixed seafood into separate bowls. Needless to say, after sifting through alphabet spaghetti for three hours yesterday, they're not best pleased...

Later today, the Treasury will choose whether to reveal the girls' nominations or the boys' nominations to the House. We are on tenterhooks!

Day 28: Beware! Jackie goes berserk

There's nothing scarier than a wild Jackie Travers let loose in the House.. Ch5

SHOPPING TASK GOING IN: THE BUDGET DAY 2
