Shopping Task [Results]

26 Aug, 2014 - 4:50 PM by Josy

Article contains spoilers... Today was the second and last day of the Phobias Shopping Task, the housemates were unaware that parts of the task they all took part in were in fact fake and to really pass the task Gary had to convince the housemates he had a very bad phobia of balloons and the housemates had to be convinced enough to press the panic button for him during his part of the task.. The housemates FAILED to press the panic button for Gary therefore they have failed the shopping task and as a result they will be living on basic rations..

For this week’s shopping task, Housemates will come face to face with various phobias. Housemates believe to pass the task they must face their phobia and not quit (which they can do by pressing the PANIC button at any point). However, the real task is for Gary. He will be told by Big Brother that he must convince housemates he has a ‘genuine’ phobia of balloons. The task will culminate in him facing this fear. The rest of the housemates will be able to quit on Gary’s behalf and if they do this they will pass the task and win a luxury shopping budget. HOW IT WORKS The medical testing room has a big red emergency panic button in the centre of the room, labelled “PANIC”. Housemates can quit the task and escape the room by pressing the button. DAY 1 THE SET UP GLOBOPHOBIA - The fear of balloons (Gary): Gary is called to the Diary Room before the start of the shopping task. He is told that the outcome of this week’s shopping task lies with him, and his ability to convince his fellow Housemates that this is a genuine phobia. The Housemates are then told that for the next two days Big Brother will be testing the Housemates to see if they suffer from various phobias. In these test the housemates will have the option of hitting a ‘panic’ button to quit the test if they are too scared, but doing so will mean that they fail that task. TASK 1 - CHAIRS OF FEAR One at a time a Housemate will enter, sit on the chair and come face to face with a phobia. If they manage to face their fear and endure the fear test without waving the white panic flag, they will pass the test. OSMOPHOBIA – The fear of smells (Stephanie): At the end of the conveyor belt there will be a Perspex box full of horrible props letting off terrible smells including smelly socks, raw fish, and a mouldy food. The box is also full of live black flies. The Housemate will move closer and closer to the box until they are finally inside it, and must take in all the smells around them until the klaxon sounds. OMPHALOPHONIA – The fear of belly buttons (Edele): At the end of the conveyor belt a man reveals his huge belly. The Housemate will pass the task if they can endure having their face squashed against the belly until the klaxon sounds. NEOPHOBIA - Fear Of Surprises (Ricci): The Housemate moves towards a sparkly mystery gift box. They are then told to lift the lid and look inside, as they do so they are blasted in the face with gunge. ARACHNOPHOBIA - The fear of spiders (David and Lauren): A giant spider will enter the pitch black room. With creepy sound effects playing, the ‘spider’ will gently touch David and Lauren to scare them. The giant spider is in fact someone dressed in a spider costume. EPISTEMOPHOBIA – The fear of knowledge: One at a time the Housemates will see a quote of something that they or another Housemate have said, or a subject that they must discuss. If the Housemate does not wish to read out the quote or discuss the subject, they may push the panic button, but doing so will incur a fail. MORRISCHOROPHOBIA – The fear of Morris dancing (James and George): James and George will be brought to the testing lab to see if they suffer from a fear of Morris Dancing. To test this they must dress as Morris Dancers and Morris Dance to a piece of folk music for a long time. As always, they can quit at any point by pressing the panic button.

No not really, Gary must convince them he is terrified of balloons though for his part. They will fail if none of them feel sorry enough for Gary to press the panic button (I think) Quote: The task will culminate in him facing this fear.

Isn't this the opposite of the clown one they had to do with Shievonne?

I have arachnophobia and this wouldn't bother me.

Yeah I'm not sure I like that BB have chosen Gary as the one they need to feel empathy for. He's already showing signs of feeling down that people don't like him. The last thing he needs is to find out none of them give a sh*t enough to fail a task for his sake. If Leslie was chosen they'd all be shouting to quit straight away but I can't say the same for Gary unfortunately.

I think it will teach some of them a lesson though, they fail if they don't press it.

They won't feel sorry for him. They'll blame him for failing the task. Selfish lot.

The only ones who I think will literally not give a sh*t are Stephanie, maybe Leslie, James and David. Maybe George too? Quote: Originally Posted by Josy I think it will teach some of them a lesson though, they fail if they don't press it. Oh yeah good point!! Would be nice for some of them to learn that being kind to others is a good thing!
