View Full Version : BB11 Task Ideas!

I read on here that a guy gave his task suggestions for BB10 and they ended up being used in the series.

If I remember correctly they were; the circus task, the boyband/girlband task, and the Beyonce's Single Ladies Music Video remake.

So what NEW tasks would you like to see in the house?

Here are a few of my ideas:
1. Task taken from a European BB - Release of the Tarantulas!
HMs will be locked in one of the rooms while the team set 99 Tarantulas free in the house. The housemates are then let out and told there are 100 tarantulas in the house and they must find and collect all 100 as quickly as possible. HMs will collect as many as possible and when they've got 99, they'll all be looking for the one remaining spider, unaware there is no 100th spider.
Would you go to sleep knowing there is a tarantula loose in the house?

2. Back in Time!
~(Monday) HMs are locked in the bedroom. When they come out they find the house is bare with wood and stone randomly placed in the house. HMs will be sent back in time every day of the week (eviction moved to Monday night), starting with the stone age.The bedroom will be locked once all HMs have come out, and they'll be left to improvise with the rock and wood. They'll also be instructed to remove their clothes (behind a screen) and wear a potato sack - they can change it however they like, but they will only be given the one. Meals will be thrown over the wall into the garden. If HMs want to eat, they must eat it off the floor. They'll be made to sleep in the task room, which will be designed to go along with the era. A basic portaloo will be put in the garden for HM's to use as all toilets will be locked. And water can only be drank from a small drinking fountain using their hands as cups.
~(Tuesday) When they wake up, the house has been re-done again. In the garden is a small hut. HMs are now in the Bronze Age. HMs must appoint a leader, who is allowed in the hut to recieve their new outfit. The leader must then appoint an aide to assist them with their duties. HMs must prepare a meal for the leader and his aide which include plucking a chicken, skinning a rabbit, etc (a bit like BB10).
~(Wednesday) The next morning HMs wake to find themselves in Ancient Rome. They're given a new outfit - rags! The pool has been re-opened for HMs to bathe in, but they still only have their potato sacks and rags and must think carefully about whether to go in or not (they can go in naked and flash their bits on TV or go in with their clothes on, which they must then sleep in). The leader must appoint 6HMs to be his army and 3HMs to be his cooks, cleaners, etc. Soldiers will then be given a brutal workout, while the cooks will be made to prepare a feast. BB will then tell the Army they can overthrow the leader and his aide and replace two of themselves as the leader and his aide, or they can keep the current leader. HMs are unaware that if they overthrow the leader and his aide, the members of "the Army" who become the new leader and aide will face the public vote, or the current leader and aide will face the public vote if they keep it the same. Phone lines don't open until Friday.
~(Thursday) HMs wake the next morning to find themselves in the Middle Ages. Small huts will be put in the garden for HMs to live in 3 per person. A 'lake' will be in the garden for HMs to bathe in, with the pool still available. The water in the 'lake' will not be changed however. HMs will become either artists, scholars or priests, with one HM becoming a market stall keeper. In order to get items from the market stall, HMs must trade items with the keeper. Only the keeper will know, but if they gain enough items, they will be immune from eviction that week. Later that night, BB tells housemates they must "carve" the name of the HM they want to face the public vote. Once everyone has "carved" their name, they must show it to the rest of the group and explain their reasons for their nomination. The leader and his aide are not allowed to be nominated (unaware they're already facing the public vote). And if the market owner passes, they're also immune.
~(Friday) HMs will then go to the Victorian Times. They will recieve new clothes again. HMs will be sent to the task room, where 3 'factories' will be set up. HMs must choose one Factory Leader for each 'factory', and one HM must be chosen to become the King/Queen. The King/Queen will not be allowed to participate in the factories. Once HMs have completed their tasks, they can return to the main house where there is now double beds for them to sleep in. They will only have thin mattresses and a basic blanket.
~(Saturday)HMs will now wake to WW2 Britain where food is rationed and therefore very basic. The Kitchen and bathroom are re-opened, but the shower is not in use, and the bath only runs cold water. HMs must move a pile of rubble placed in the garden into a number of containers, separating the rubble into size, colour and type (brick, rock, etc). They will get new clothes for the day.
~(Sunday) HMs are now in the 60's. They will be given typical 60's clothing, complete with wigs from the decade. HMs will be thrown a roller disco with alcohol, party food, etc.
~(Monday) HMs return to today. All of the house in unlocked. HMs can get back into their usual clothes, sleep in their beds and have a hot bath/shower, and the kitchen is now fully open for them to eat normally. In the morning HMs are told that the public have been voting. When HMs look baffled as to how the HMs were chosen for eviction, BB will reveal the earlier twist in the Ancient Rome era (weds) that the Army's decision decided who went up.

Love your second one, would make for a brilliant week :D
The first would be great but I wouldn't be able to watch it! :joker:
I saw a snakes and ladders task on a big brother from another country (can't remember which) but it was all huge and cool and stuff, it looked quite good :)
Also maybe a two houses again? But this time they are of equal importance (neither is 'next door' or 'halfway'?) and they don't know of each other (this idea seems familiar actually, someone else on the forum may have suggested something similar) but for each of the tasks, they play against each other thinking they are playing against Big Brother. Only one house can win a luxury budget, the other will live in poverty. The houses will then have to choose half of their housemates to be Endangered (not knowing what this means). They will compete in a final task against each other (now knowing of each other's existence) and the losing house will have their respective Endangered housemates ejected from the house. The houses will then merge somehow. This will all happen within, say, 3 weeks.
That wasn't bad for improvising as I'm typing! :joker:

3. Truth Or Dare!

Housemates will be shown 30 headlines on the TV that have supposedly been in the press since the show began. Some are true, the others are false. HMs will each have a piece of paper and must mark down if they believe the headline is true or false. If a HM gets 20 or more correct, they're given a truth. If they fail to get 20 or more, they're given a dare.

A HM can refuse their dare if they want, but it will mean they will automatically face eviction.
HMs who get a truth will each be called into the Diary Room to "recieve their truth". The HM will then be shown clips of fellow HMs talking about them behind their back.

4. Fashion Designing Task.

HMs must pull a name out of a hat. They mustn't let any of their fellow HMs know who they have. Then they must create an outfit that symbolises the HM they have chosen by using a collection of fabrics given to them by BB. They have 3hours to put their piece together.
Once the 3hours are up, HMs must gather on the sofa. Each HM will be asked to come into the DR while the other HMs decide which HM the piece is meant to represent.

Once everyone has been paired off with an outfit, they must then wear that outfit in a catwalk.

If HMs correctly pair off over 10 outfits with their HM, they pass.

Careers Week -

2 housmates have to become firefighters and must go to the garden where they put out the fake fire everytime (or maybe one of those game things with the waterguns and you have to shoot the targets) a fire engine noise sounds, 2 misses and they will fail their part of the task.

2 housemates can take on the role of a teacher and teaching assistant, they have to go to the task room where there is a class of about 20 kids, on the last day of the task the kids must take a test, and the average test score needs to be above 70% to pass their part of the task.

2 architects and 2 builders, the architects must design a building based on a theme each day, the builders then have to successfully build the building within 2 hours. If big brother likes 3 or more of the buliding they will pass their part of the task.

2 chefs and waiter/waitress, the 3 taking part in this task must design a menu, there will then be food critics in a task room, the chefs must cook the food to a standard which the food critics are happy with, and the waiter/waitress must take orders and deliver food in time. The food critics will decide if they pass there part of the task.

2 cleaners, these 2 housemates must clean the task rooms to big brothers standard, if not cleaned well enough they will fail the task.

Office workers, these 2 housemates must work in their office 9 -5, they will have to answer phone calls, sort out databses big brother gives them etc. There will be in-trays for every housemate in the house, the office workers must place the correct mail in the correct trays for each housemate, the mail will consist of fan mail, a letter from home, and a token for each housemate in which they can exchange for anything they wish and a nomination card (a card around the size of a credit card, if one of these cards is in a housemates in-tray at the end of the task the corresponding will be up for eviction) During the office workers breaks and lunch break, big brother will go in and mess up the in-trays by swapping stuff around and hide nomination cards in each tray, it is up to the office workers to realise that the in-trays have been mucked and and sort them out again, ontop of this they will also get another bag full of mail. The housemates will fail this task if they fail to answer 3 calls. (also if the housemates realise about the nomination cards, they are free to place them in any in-tray if they wish)

Homeless & Jobless, the last housemate will be taken to have a makeover to make them look like a homeless person and unrecognisable from who they actually are, and will be taken to a nearby town where they must collect atleast £20 for that day to pass their part of the task, all the money from this part of this task will go to charity.

Overall housemates must pass 5 of the 7 jobs to get a luxury budget.
Any housemates with a nomination card in their in-tray at the end of the task will go up for eviction.
Any housemate with a token shall get a prize of their choice.

7. Come Dine With Me.

When there are 6-7 Housemates left. Each HM must host a dinner party for VIP guests. They will each take it in turns to go into the task room where 3 guests will be waiting for them to host a dinner party.

Unknown to the HMs, these guests are; a celebrity, a family member/friend of a fellow HM, and a special guest (a competition winner or something).

The three guests must then score the HM out of 10 for their hosting. The HM with the highest score gains immunity from eviction that week.

In the incident of a tie between two or more HMs, the rest of the house must then decide amongst each other who they think should be given immunity.

I had an idea for a mini task whilst staring at myself in the mirror!

I was letting a cod oil tablet thingy balance on my tongue for funnehs!

and was thinking

as a mini task they could all be made to balance lil balls on there tongues for as long as possible, but there tongue has to be out of there mouth, the winner wins something,

i reckon this would be funnneeehs! Also make sure the lil ball is edible so they dont die, as when i attempted it i did swallow the ball!!

haha yes would be amazing :D

Baseball task. Hm,s have to stand with a bat and an automated machine sends a ball out they have to hit. If they miss their food rations go down 5 pound. Or laser tag the housemates have a gun and tag suit and the house set up like a massive maze and hms have to duck and dodge in two teams with a base they have to raid.

They can even put headlines about the housemates to make it more bitchy.

Or hm.s have to wear sumo suits 24/7 and do tasks each day in them like skipathon, soccer game etc with the main task being each hm having a tune and when it plays at any time including nights they have to try get up and run to the sumo pad in the backyard

You can have a game where they can win money or exemptions from voting...

Probably best with 12 housemates left

12 cards are picked at random, containing one of the following...

Exemption
Exemption
Extra Nomination
Extra Nomination
Up For Eviction
£1,000
£2,000
£3,000
£4,000
Party for the housemates
Call From Family
End The Game

4 of the cards contain a cash value, which they can keep personally or put into the group pot, 2 exemptions... 2 cards that allow you to vote for 3 people :) One card gives you a 5 minute call with family... one card, if your left with it, you are up for eviction. There is a card that if left in the game means a huge party is thrown by big brother ALSO one card ends the game...

Round one.

Big brother explains the rules. To win, they have to end the game, simple as that, anything that is left in someones hand when the game ends, is kept, be it party, or money etc...

Everyone takes a card and are given time to discuss what they have on the cards...

However, one thing is clear, no-one else knows what is on the other cards, if anything...

So people can say what they have on the cards to try to keep them in the game.

They all vote for who they want to get kicked out of the game, along with their card...

When one player is voted out, they revel their card and leave the game (Sent to the bedroom)

Now, at this point the cards are put back into the centre, shuffled, and given back out, so, that you may get more information on what cards are available.

The game could end on the first turn if the players can work out who has that card, HOWEVER, do they want 2 people getting exemptions XD and have these people said they have exemptions XD

I hope thats clear

Well, there is a card game, called, 'are you a werewolf' also under the name 'mafia' which is similar, where the team have to figure out who is on the 'baddies' and get them out the game...

Something involving housemates being handcuffed together in pairs for a few days or so. Just imagine being handcuffed to someone you hated and having to eat, shower, sleep, and be with them 24/7! Have BB ask who the housemates were getting along with the least in the house, and then handcuffing the two enemies together or something like that, and have them work together to complete seperate tasks.

Weve always been interested in the Release of the Tarantula's task. There are ideas being thrown around for the weekly tasks, bar the ones that have been fixed along side the series. Some are twisted, and we had to get permission for one of the tasks that are planned. We just want fun, entertaining tasks that are going to help the housemates make fools of themselves.

I have an idea... might take a while to fill a pool though...

XD

Get a pool, fill it with custard, and the housemates have to run on the surface for a total of say 3 minutes between them XD

As soon as they stop they sink up to their chests XD...


nom... custard XD *licks*

Ok, have been working on another one.


The classic big brother 'rate everyone according to certain words'

eg, most good looking etc..

HOWEVER... only one of these questions out of say 20 will matter...

'Who is the person that you trust the most'


The players in the next game are, the player who was the most trusted, and the player who was least trusted.

This would be a game to increase the players prize pot.


The 2 players are separated from the group and put in 2 separate booths.

They will be both given the same information about what is in 3 boxes.

There are always 3 boxes to choose from. 1, 2, and 3...

The contents of the boxes are only known to the 2 players in the booths, not all the other housemates.

One of the 3 boxes will contain nothing. Zippo, Zilch....
One of the 3 boxes will contain money for the group...
The other will contain something that will be good for the 2 players.

There will be 10 turns in all, each time the box that contains the 'special prize' will be harder to turn down for the players.

1) A Bottle of Beer or Cigarettes
2) £125
6) Bottle of Wine for each housemate.
3) £250
7) Party for the house.
4) £500
8) A call from a loved one
5) £1000
9) 10 minutes with a loved one
10) Immunity from voting for this week


The amounts that the team can win will be £1000 on each turn, making the game worth approximate 10k... (however this can be changed to any amount)

Now the way this will work, the 2 players will each vote independently what 'gift' they would like. However it is up to the housemates who dont know what is in each box to choose what box is taken.


The only information that the housemates will have is that they know who they trust the most, and who they trust the least...

EG

Trusted player - A
Untrusted player - C

You may think that the money for the group is in A... Something for the personal gain for the players is in C... and nothing is in B...

However that may not always be the case.
