pick a pen to fill in your application form

however if you pick the green pen your automatically through to the next round but if you pick red then you out altogether and have to go home

LOLLL yeah you played games in a big group first.. well these balls games and was going against the other team.. after you were split up into the "picking pens" 10 in each group! You then had to get into 2's and find out 3 interesting facts about the other person and say them to the group, then we had to spell a word out on the floor making shapes. Then someone in the group was chosen to rank us all from most fame seeking to least fame seeking. Oh also we were split into 2 groups and had to pretend to evict a person from the other group. Afterwards if you made a good impression you get stamped :thumbs: Some other picking pens did similar things to these mini tasks or had to make a landmark using each other.

The picking pen sounds fun.
How long do you do the activities for before the stamping?

The ball game thing lasted about 5 or 10 minutes and then at the picking pens I think that lasted about 5 or 10 minutes? Maybe longer, it went all so fast but yeah it is fun :D The woman at the picking pens even said if she did not stamp us we could queue up again.

TOTALLY thought this said penis.

-walks out-

Grand. I think 10-20 mins is a decent amount of time to relax and get my personality across.
Honestly, I probably would queue up again if I didn't get the stamp. Might as well.

The picking pen is good fun.

[Every group is different, but mine went...]
About 10 of you are in a line and you pair off and have to find out some interesting facts about the other person and tell the rest of the group.
Then together you have to make a famous landmark and the woman/man has to try and figure out what it is.

Then she told us to put ourselves in order for Most Deserving Housemate. Somehow I was put at No1 but I thought another lady deserved it more than me. (Others pick one person from the group to line up the rest of the people. I've heard of "Order of Most Arrogant", "Most Promiscious", "Most Attractive").

Then the top five are put in one group and the bottom five are in another group and you have to decide as a group who to evict. Luckily it wasn't me.

Then the woman asks you to put your hand out. If you get stamped you go to the next stage. Only three of us got stamped.

How far did you get BB11UK?
