Day 37: This week's shopping task is Rules Are For Fools!
2 mins ago
This week, Big Brother wants to teach our housemates the importance of obeying the rules. Not just any old rules, mind you. Big Brother's seen fit to introduce some new House rules to see how the housemates cope.
Three of the gang will be made wardens and their task will see them monitoring whether or not their fellow housemates break these new House rules and whether or not the task is passed or failed will depend on the decisions of the Wardens.
They'll be asked to keep an eye out for and correctly identify all rule-breaks over the next two days. To add to their woes, the wardens will incur fails if they don't spot rule breaks or if they dish out their penalty tickets unfairly. If any single housemate is issued with two tickets, they'll be sent to the punishment area to think long and hard about what they've done.
The number of fails that the wardens are allowed to incur will be kept inside an envelope in a glass case and, come the end of the task, it'll be broken open to reveal the result.
As ever, Big Brother will be watching and will reveal how many fails have been incurred at the end of the task.
If it seems a little harsh, remember: we don't make the rules. Big Brother does (and you know what he's like sometimes).

Day 37: Rules are made to be broken?
13 mins ago
After yesterday's relief at Turf Wars drawing to a close, it's all change again in the Big Brother House.
Housemates woke to find the place absolutely plastered with signage telling them how to behave. 'I love this task' said Lauren, having not even heard what the rules are. Soon Luke A, Adam and Luke S were in the Diary Room picking up the instructions (and some rather authoritative outfits) and, after getting into their fresh new outfits, were reading out the rules to their increasingly confused housemates.
There are quite a lot of rules, you see? So many rules, in fact, that the next hour saw a huge amount of bafflement as basic activities like eating, smoking and swimming were accompanied by a whole host of new health and safety procedures.
Scott and Becky struggled with the enormous tongs now required for food preparation and eating. Lauren, Ashleigh and Shievonne spent a smoke break bouncing on a trampoline, as dictated by the rules, before washing down in a compulsory, post-cig decontamination session. Later, Becky and Caroline enjoyed a dip in the pool but, safety first, they donned rubber rings, goggles and arm-bands to make sure there was no danger of drowning.
At first, housemates were loving the novelty of a whole new way of living. But as things stand, having decontaminated several times each and struggled to make food in a kitchen that's wrapped in red tape, the cracks are beginning to show. Especially for those who have already broken the rules. Step forward Conor and Caroline, who were made to paint lumps of coal white for a number of missteps – including some petty vandalism that instantly undermined the scowling wardens.
They do say rules are made to be broken but, the way things are going, it may be the housemates that are broken by the time the results for this one come in.

2.30pm: Most HMs are sunbathing or resting but Luke S is wandering with clipboard and megaphone. He's keen
No, he's annoying... he's really annoying!
In order to teach housemates the importance of obeying Big Brothers rules, for this week’s shopping task, Big Brother has introduced some new rules to the Big Brother House.
Three housemates will be made wardens, their task is to monitor whether or not housemates break these rules.
Task
It will be up to the wardens whether or not the Housemates pass this task. They must spot and correctly identify all rule breaks over the next two days.
The wardens will incur fails if they do not spot the rule breaks. They can also incur fails for handing out tickets unfairly.
The number of fails that the wardens are allowed to incur is inside an envelope in a glass case. This will be broken open to reveal the result at the end of the task. Whenever the wardens spot a Housemate breaking a rule, they must issue that Housemate with a ticket.
Any housemate that has been issued with two tickets will result in that housemate being sent to the punishment area.
Big Brother will reveal at the end of the task how many fails have been incurred.
The following rules are ongoing rules that the Housemates must abide by all day:
In the House:
· Seat belts must be worn on the sofas
· Safety gear must be worn whilst eating and preparing food. Housemates must wear yellow chemical suits, black rubber gloves, safety goggles, and black and yellow wellies.
· Housemates must eat using safety equipment: grabbing tools.
· Housemates will only be allowed on the matted area leading to the Diary Room door if they forward roll.
· Do Not Disrespect The Wardens: the wardens must judge whether or not the housemates are treating them with respect.
· Beds are out of bounds – To stop the HM’s lying around in bed all day the bed will be cordoned off and made out of bounds.
Garden:
· Safe Zone – All housemates must be within the safe zone when the alarm sounds. The safe zone is a platform just big enough to stand nine housemates.
· Decontaminator – Housemates must ‘decontaminate’ after smoking or eating in a booth that blast housemates with foam and smoke.
· Smoking Zone – Housemates must bounce on trampolines whilst smoking, dressed as giant cigarettes.
· Safety equipment must be worn whilst swimming- If housemates wish to use the pool they must wear a life jacket, arm bands, rubber ring, swim hat and goggles.
· Punishment Zone – housemates who are given two or more tickets by the wardens will be sent to the punishment zone to paint coal white, and then paint it black again.
· No Ball Games: A sign will be next to a big pile of balls.
Day 1: Diary Room Tasks:
Big Brother asks one warden to accompany one housemate to the diary room. Inside the diary room they find a sign saying ‘do not ask questions’ and ‘obey Big Brother’. On the table in front of the chair there are three mystery boxes. The boxes each contain a missing microphone battery which Big Brother would like the Housemate to find. The boxes contain: · Dried insects/bugs, holly leaves and spider webbing · Tinned Lychees, Stinky Tofu and Slime · Chicken Feet and Slime
If housemates ask any questions in the diary room or refuse to do as Big Brother says they will be given a ticket by the warden.
Housemates must not say yes or no in the Diary Room
Big Brother asks one warden to accompany one housemate to the diary room.
Inside the diary room they will find a sign saying ‘do not say yes or no’ and ‘do not repeat yourself’.
Big Brother then bombards the housemate with questions that are tricky to not say yes or no to, e.g.:
Are you enjoying this task?
Would you like to be evicted?
Do you wish you were a warden?
What is the opposite of Yes?
Did you just say no?
Shievonne Sandwich board
Shievonne is called to the diary room and given a sandwich board to wear which says:
“I must not talk with my hands”
Employee of the week
As an added incentive to hand out tickets and punish the housemates, the wardens are offered the chance to win the ‘Employee of the Week’ award. The warden who hands out the most tickets on day one will get their photo in a special frame, and receive a £30 shopping voucher to spend on whatever they want.
The task will be active from Wake Up and will continue until tomorrow.

7.25pm: New rules. Only interesting conversations are allowed.
Big Brother's way of fixing it. They can punish the Housemates for being boring and/or the wardens for not enforcing the rules - even though 'interesting' is completely subjective.

Well that's Conor fecked then!
Day 37: Rules out
32 mins ago
Having been involved in the Rules Are For Fools task since waking up, housemates whooped with joy when Big Brother offered them a reprieve, giving wardens time off and temporarily cancelling all task rules.
Luke S wasted no time stripping down to his black briefs, shunning Ashleigh’s attentions in favour of ripping off his warden’s uniform and sharing some shower time with Conor.
Most housemates made a bee-line for the kitchen.
Lauren took the opportunity to vent about the task. We have removed the string of expletives to preserve delicate ears. She said, "This is a ridiculous task. They’ve got us painting coal. Who do they think we are?" We’re sorry, Lauren, did you expect to spend your time in the House lazing by the pool eating bacon sandwiches? That's called a holiday. You can do that next year.
Scott got in a flap over cutlery but managed to construct a salad wrap and Sheivonne got Lauren to cook her some chicken.
Luke A admitted he wasn’t enjoying the task, in particular his role as warden. He told Scott, "I’m hating this. May look like I’m enjoying it but I’m hating every minute."
The beds have been out of bounds all day and with the freedom to break any of the task rules they pleased, the majority of our housemates chose to stay horizontal.
