Was thinking about good tasks that could be carried out simply yet provide good viewing pleasure and remembered something I read a few years ago about a task that happened in the Belgium version of Big Brother.

They released 100 TARANTULAS into the house and to pass the task they had to find them all.

I would seriously die laughing. It's cruel, terrifying beyond words (to some) but it would make great TV!

It would be great if tasks like this were done here but I cant see it happening, health and safety and animal cruelty charities would be up in arms lol. :laugh:

It'd be funny to watch because there's bound to be someone in that house who HATES spiders. Wouldn't be funny if I was in there though lool!

Is there a video of this task anywhere by the way, does anybody know? :)

The actual brilliance of this task was that there were only ever 99 tarantulas released and for the rest of the series the housemates lived in the house believing there was still one loose somewhere.

I think just before series 8 in the UK, channel 4 aired a special called "Big brother around the world". There was a clip of this in that special.

They also had a task in Australian big brother where they had to catch spiders, but the spiders were confined to a box, not loose in the house.

Would be a good idea but there would probably be problems for animal safety ect.
