Day 15: Shopping task: Lab rats
36 mins ago
Itâs shopping task time again and to guarantee a good feed, housemates are going to have to get experimental.
Big Brother has set a brainy challenge for our bunch with the three most intelligent housemates required to be scientists while the remaining 12 will be lab rats.
Housemates picked the three cleverest bods - Lydia, Benedict and Luke A - a decision they all managed to agree on.
Whether this was a wise choice remains to be seen. The scientists will try and predict the outcome of a series of experiments undertaken by the rats.
This is an epic two day task. Will the housemates be successful and if so, will they manage to calculate the food budget correctly this time?
11.42am: There's a big wheel in the garden. Rats must run in it to earn food which will be delivered via a chute #bbuklive 
Later peeps 
Later erin 
Afternoon all
I`ve got a new keyboard >>>> 
11.48am: The rat wheel is active. Deana was first on. And straight off. She tried to go backwards. Clearly not scientist material
11.56am: 'Rambo Rat' Luke S only managed a matter of minutes on the wheel. Lauren has taken over. She's already earned croissants
12.09pm: Scientists are feeling smug. The rats can't workout why some housemates wheel action earns food and some doesn't
12.22pm: Deana, Sara and Ashleigh have all taken a turn on the wheel. Are the boys going to step up next?
12.33pm: Scientists have turned their attention to analysing Luke and Ashleigh's relationship. Lydia says there is no chemistry
12.45pm: The rats are off the wheel. They didn't guess that the boys were earning stale food while the girls scored treats
1.08pm: Scientists have tried to convince the rats they couldn't see then on the wheel. The rats are not as stupid as they look
Day 15: The wheelie sneaky task
6 mins ago
The Big Brother Lab is fully operational and while the rats earn cheese based food rations by treading the wheel in the garden, the scientists are tucking into a continental breakfast as they look on from the task room.
What the rats donât now is that girls earn the group tasty treats by rotating the wheel but the boysâ efforts will be rewarded with nasty meals.
First up Deana failed to read the instructions and attempted to walk backwards. Since then the girls have taken the lead with Lauren typically excelling and earning the group two boxes of ham and cheese croissants.
The smug scientists have predicted the outcome of the experiment and are unable to let their new found positions as the groupâs smart guys go to their heads.
Lydia said, âThis is what they do. They donât listen to instructions. Donât get on Deana. Go and sunbath or something. Deana likes to get involved because she likes to be on the camera.â
âI donât want them standing there watching because thatâs too many brains. They might work it out.â
Ever the teacher Benedict was being particularly stern when observing Adam in action.
He said, âPlease donât give them any food while he doesnât have his hat on Big Brother. He is breaking the rules.
âLook at all the time they are wasting. It doesnât make any sense.â
Can the rats work out the wheelâs secret? Will the outcome of this experiment be the creation of a new dynamic in the House?
1.20pm: Lydia is feeling pleased with herself. She thinks she has the rats fooled.
1.39pm: The rats are catching some rays in the garden ahead of their next spin on the wheel
Catch you later
1.50pm: Lydia, Luke S and Luke A are sleeping. Surely they only just got up. Lazy bones
2.06pm: Lauren is telling anyone who will listen how hot her dad is. Bit wrong?
2.21pm: The wheel is active again. Shift yourselves housemates
2.37pn: Becky took a turn on the wheel and almost lost her knickers
2.50pm: The rats have won lots of sandwiches. Lauren doesn't like sandwiches. She is making her feelings known
3.01pm: Lydia was in top set for French at school. This means she knows how to pronounce croissant and can correct Adam
3.12pm: Caroline has had enough of Becky sitting on top of her. And putting her 'dirty gross hands' on the sandwiches 
catch you later
have a gathering for the footie again tonight so I have a meal to prepare
get the beer chilled and nibbles sorted
3.28pm: Lydia is claiming everyone is accusing her of sabbotaging thier sandwiches. No one has accused her yet. Drama queen?
3.40pm: Luke A and Lydia agree Adam is an awesome guy #
3.48pm: Round 2 of the task. Rats must stare at an object and avoid distractions to gain a prize. Ashleigh is up first
3.57pm: Big Brother tried to distract Ashleigh who is staring at a picture of her dog, with a Justin Bieber lookalike. She passed
4.12pm: Becky's won time with her dog. Lydia's regretting being a scientist. She wants time with Andy. Or her dog
4.30pm: Shievonne's turn. She has to stare at a pizza. And avoid looking at the great big snake
4.47pm: Whoop whoop. Shievonne won a pizza
4.55pm: Scott's up next. Can he avoid looking at his superfans and win a party
5.33pm: Luke S was tormented by a ravishing burlesque beauty. He did very well keeping his eyes off her.

Day 15: Eyes on the prize
39 mins ago
Phase two of the lab rat task involved the dastardly practice of pairing something a housemate wanted with something they wanted more. One at a time, Ashleigh, Shievonne, Scott and Luke S entered the large task room where they donned a fetching pair of Where's Wally style eye-tracking glasses. They then had to stare non-stop at a prize on a plinth in the middle of the room while Big Brother introduced an array of cunning distractions. Despite some extremely inventive distractions (Luke S ignoring the burlesque was a treat) each of the four housemates passed their tasks. Didn't they do well!
