4.54pm: The Gods are preparing for the final task. It all comes down to this next trial...

Brilliant  I thought they'd love it there as others I know who've visited or emigrated all seem to.

Day 14: The trial of the Gods

The Gods and Mortals task will climax this afternoon, with an epic battle between the Gods and the dreaded Gorgon, Medusa.

Ares, Zeus, Apollo and Poseidon a.k.a Ashley, Martin, Samantha and Harvey will enter the evil monster's lair in an attempt to bring down the beast. To vanquish the cruel creature, they must bravely slay the snakes from the heads of four Gorgons – and do so within an allotted time, of course.

However, as you all may know, Medusa's glare can turn you to stone instantly, therefore the four Gods will enter the lair blindfolded. Their eyes will be provided by Aphrodite a.k.a Julie, who will direct them in their quest to victory.

If they successfully destroy the monster, they will be rewarded with a luxury budget this week.

OMG what a lovely surprise and so pleased you are feeling better 

we have all really missed you   and were worried about you 

if she survives tomorrow I am on the verge of changing alliances as well 

5.08pm: The mortals are filing into the garden for what looks to be the next part of the #godsmortals task.

5.15pm: Aphrodite's reading the rules to the gang. You can see them over here: http://bit.ly/PpaNMR  

Already posted ^^^  

  I remember you said that Rose, they love it too.  

Thank you MrsH 

I`ve missed you all too, sorry if I caused any worry. I`m so glad to be back 

5.20pm: Our #hotcherubs have spun the Gods around and they're now bashing the merry heck out of the gorgons. It's chaos out there.

5.22pm: The task is over. Harv and Ash were swiping at the serpents so hard they both broke their swords.

5.24pm: Harvey and Ashley did a fine job and the gang have passed the task!

Be like Baz, Yogi and I.... be a Princess Fairy  

welcome back Scotty!  Glad all's well! 

Me too x 

Thanks Mrs H and all for the updates x 

Think I just might  

I went back to watch this as I didn't have time to watch first time round. Don't know if Harvey and Ash are overplaying what they've seen and heard but if not there's a lot we're not seeing. They watch LF and we can't which is really frustrating

5.31pm: Julie's reunited with Julian. She said it was "beyond hell" being without him.

we havnt seen any of the highlights for this task yet Rose only vids and tweets and news items  - it will be covered  in tonight and tomorrows highlight shows 

Thank you Slinki!  

5.45pm: The majority of housemates are dipping in the hot tub together. Gods amongst mortals. Except the task's over, so scratch that.

5.58pm: HMs are called to the living area by a slightly frightening-sounding Big Brother. 

thanks skylark 

6.09pm: The ex-Gods are slowly dripfeeding the fact that they could see all the mortals' antics on a big screen to them slowly. Wise.

6.11pm: The Situation is wearing a baseball cap at a jaunty angle.

Hope so Mrs. H I imagine they'll show the Danica/Mike row, how much of it who knows - thankfully we have the vids to watch  I'd like to know about the remark Martin said about Julie, the convo with Ash and Rhi and what did Ash or Harvey mean about Coleen. What with all the repeated stuff and ads not quite sure if they can fit that all in

Thanks Skylark x

Thanks to MrsH, erin and velvet for the updates. Great job x

6.24pm: Harvey has poured himself a delicious glass of cordial.

6.31pm: Ashley's talking to The Situation about how he composed himself during the Danica row. He says he approved. 

hope you've read every word 

Took me ages but I got there    

6.42pm: The Situation's talking about the Danica confrontation. "She got personal back there" he says.

Day 14: The Trial of the Gods task concludes6 mins ago

The Mortals are gathered to watch the Final Trial.

Judon't know what's coming, Ashley!

Ashley's Heavenly Cherub spins him right round, baby, right round.

Sam's Cherub gives her a whirl.

Suits you, Sam.

Go for it, Harvey!
