Day 13: The Regime task

It's the winter of discontent, and in this time of uncertainty, a 'dicator' has risen up and taken over the Big Brother House. The man in question is none other than 5"4 jockey, Frankie Dettori - yes, the seemingly jovial Italian has seized power of the House and is wielding his authority over the other housemates as we speak.

Flanked by his two personal bodyguards, Razor and Ryan, Frankie has taken residency in the Golden Palace (formerly known as the gym), leaving the civilians (AKA the housemates) to the confines of the House and garden. The civilians have been reduced to basic clothing and placed under strict rules set by The Regime – whenever an order is given to them by the dictator, they must obey it. If not, there is a jail in the garden ready and waiting for any unruly inhabitants.

And while the Dictator gorges on food in the palace, the other housemates have been reduced to tinned rations, which contain some rather questionable food. Let's hope they have strong stomachs, otherwise we'll have some very hungry housemates on our hands.

By the way, it's probably worth pointing out that this is a task and not a spontaneous power trip - although you do know what they say about short men...

Anyway, throughout the day, the Dictator will enforce new rules to the House, the first being a ban on all hair and beauty products. We're sure this announcement will go down well with the housemates – particularly lipgloss lover, Rylan. This rule alone is enough to start an uprising...

Speaking of which, in true BB style, there's a twist to this week's shopping task. Later today, a housemate will be called to the Diary Room and told that they are the leader of the Revolution. They will be given the responsibility of initiating secret missions to bring about the downfall of The Regime and secure a luxury shopping task for the House.

So, who will prevail – the tyrant or the revolutionary?  It's a two-day task, so you'll have to stick with us to find out.
