Day 5 round-up: Rise to the challenge
Today had a very Mission Impossible vibe, with tasks-a-plenty to keep those housemates on their toes. Just the way we like ‘em.
Big Brother kicked off the day with the first shopping task. Challenge one was a wonderfully aesthetically pleasing game we like to call Pass the Pass. In essence, the game mostly involved passing various weird and wonderful foodstuffs from one housemates’ mouth to another. Delicacies included raw fish, nothing wrong with that, we love a bit of sushi, but a bull’s penis – perhaps not.
The fun and games did not end there, and Big Brother couldn’t resist putting some more amusing items in our celebrities’ mouths.
Big Brother appointed Rylan the official ‘hot’ chocolate taster, summoning him into the Diary Room to delve into a selection of chocolatey treats. But this was not an innocent leftover from a Christmas selection box, as half of Rylan’s confectionaries were chilli flavoured. In the end Rylan coped with BB turning up the heat, and emerged victorious.
The celebrities had one more task in store for them in the evening, a new game called Kissing Balls, involving the antics of a container full of unruly floating ping pong balls. Very Quidditch, indeed.
As the housemates began winding down, with Ryan delivering some hilarious helium impressions in the bedroom, and Tricia igniting the House in a Chicago singalong, BB wasn’t quite done yet, pulling Claire into the final part of the shopping task. She was stuck in a room listening to 5, 6, 7, 8 on loop. Sounds like heaven, but maybe not after the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th time.
But BB hadn't quite tired the housemates out, with Rylan, Claire, Ryan, Gillian, Lacey and Tricia having a bit of a post 1am secret knees up in the igloo after a hard day's work.
What will BB will have in store for our housemates tomorrow...
