Today housemates will be competing against each other in the ultimate shopping task, the right to choose this weeks shopping and the selection choice is bigger and better than ever!

Housemates will compete in ‘Carry - A-Bag’ a test of ‘Strength’. The four winners from this task will go through to the final round ‘Alley Tumble’ a test of ‘Speed’.

Carry - A - Bag

Housemates must each take two carrier bags filed with cotton wool from the bagging area and stand on a circular disc.  An ‘unexpected items in bagging area’ sound will signal the start of the task, and housemates must raise their arms to the sides to horizontal level, holding a shopping bag in each hand. 

If one or both of a housemate’s arms drop down to their side, they will be eliminated by Big Brother calling their name. Jedward will compete separately but as one team, as soon as one of them drops or lowers their arms, they will both be disqualified.

The four winning housemates will be instructed to make their way to the large Task Room to compete in Alley Tumble. The winning pair will win the chance to choose this week’s shopping.

Alley Tumble:

Housemates must form teams of 2. If Jedward are competing they must remain together in the same team, so the other two housemates will automatically become the two members of the opposite team. One Housemate must sit in the trolley and the other must stand behind the trolley.

Housemates standing behind the trolley will need to push the trolley, aiming to knock over as many ‘BB Noodles’ in the pyramid as possible. The team to knock over the most amounts of items will win. If required, Big Brother’s verifier will decide the winner.

The winning team will win the prize of choosing the shopping for the whole house this week. Big Brother will inform the winning housemates later today when it is time to choose their shopping – but there is a surprise in store!
