With BB only a few weeks away
What type of tasks do you think there will be?

[Janette]

Hopefully, the tasks will be week long ones with the culmination live on tv on a friday or saturday evening.

The live programme was a great idea from BB3, the only problem was the tasks were naff and the contestants should have been given time through the week to do them!

I don't know but as long as the format is better than last year I don't care!!!

Couldn't agree more, dizzy bint.

I think Janette is spot on - a combination of a weekly task which they can practice during the week, culminating in a live show to see whether they pass or fail, would be the ideal answer.

Please take note, Endemol and Channel 4!

I think it is essential for the housemates to have a weekly task to save them for complete boredom. It must have been awful last year with the piddly tasks they gave them.

Also it gives them a chance to work together and we see them interacting more, rather than completely doing things for themselves.

But Endemol and Channel 4 seem to be living on another planet and I dont hold out much hope of anything like this happening.

Wonder if they have done any research to see what us, the viewers, actually want to see happen on BB. Doubt it.

I say keep the saturday night live task as it creates great tension for not just the housemates but for the audience as well x I think they should increase the amount of Mini tasks and make them more risky instead of stupid "hamper" prizes xxxx

I was thinking about this today while I was out pushing the buggy. Some of the tasks that would have worked well as a weekly task with a live final include:

- Assault courses from BB1 and BB2
- Circus tricks from BB3
- Memory tests - heads over the fence from BB1 and 10 facts about other housemates from BB2
- Playground skills from BB2

So I definitely think that would be a good format! Hopefully they will make the live task sometime in the week, maybe Wednesday or Thursday night instead of Saturday.

I also liked the "JCB" task in CBB2 where Goldie had to scoop up as much of the shopping as possible!

[BigSister]

I think they should do a combination too
Start it on Wednesday or Tuesday then do it live on Saturday

The JCB task, with Goldie digging up the garden, was my favourite moment from Big Brother last year.

It had me in hysterics.

[WILDCHILD]

I'll never forget Big Brother 1 with Nick on the assault course - HILARIOUS!!
Big Brother wouldn't be Big Brother if there was no assault course of any kind.
I'll think of some more good ones though.
