Next Week's Task - Law Abiding Citizens

[Bluerang1]

On BBOTS it's been revealed to use that Big Brother has noticed that house-mates have been breaking a lot of rules recently. Big Brother will place signs around the house detailing rules that are not to be broken. Some house-mate swill be wardens and it will be their job to spot rule breakers and issue them tickets accordingly. If a house-mates gets too many tickets, a warden will punish them.

Sounded really good at first, but the whole warden thing, I don't see it working.

[Marcus.]

[Jords]

[Black Dagger]

This sounds really good.

I really can't fault this series tasks, they've all been good IMO.

[GypsyGoth]

This sounds really good.

I really can't fault this series tasks, they've all been good IMO.

I agree, I've been impressed by the quality of them, and it seems like a lot of the tasks have a psychological edge.

[Mrluvaluva]

This is just going to cause more arguments if not taken in good humour, which it won't be......................Can't wait. :hugesmile:

Yeah this year bb feels more like a social experiment.

[Scream]

depends who the wardens are...

say if Shievonne is a warden, she would happily punish Adam..

Luke S will totally revel in being a warden, and will punish anybody he is such a control freak

Trampy would love to punish Lauren...

Conor would happily punish Deana and vice versa...

sounds like a great task..

[Jake.]

Along with most tasks so far, this sounds epic.

Soiunds great but surely they won't make it as bad as the experiment. You know the Lab Rat task? That was from a famous experiment. This task sounds like the Stanford Prison Experiment, but I am sure it won't be like that. That experiment was basically putting good people in a bad environment, told to follow rules and given things to change their behaviour and make them go through abuse, I very much double BB would do that :p

But that's what I thought when I heard about this.

Here's what happened:

- ZImbardo took a group of males to take part in the study which was supposed to look at life in prison.
- the participants were then divided into two groups those being "prisoners" and "guards". (they tried to stimulate a mock prison, even to the extent where the prisoners were arrested from their homes, stripped searched etc.)
- Prisoners and gurads were given uniforms etc. and were told to take on their "roles" i.e. prisoners and guards
- SHortly the guards seemed to abuse their power, giving the prisoners a number instead of a name, punsihing them by removing their matresses or locking them in a cupboard with no light etc.

The experiment was supposed to last 2 weeks but due to the extreme distress from the prisoners the experimented had to be cancelled early

[Me. I Am Salman]

Looking forward to it
Last year's tasks were so ****e :joker:

[Jordan.]

Easy task. They don't break the rules because they find it hard not too they do it because the punishments are never that harsh.

Zimbardo was also my first thought...are they trying to get the show taken off the air?

[Visage]

Sounds great. I wonder if BB will set secret tasks for some to deliberately break the rules.

Hmm I don't know. If it is anything like the Stanford Prison Experiment, it will very interesting. It split 2 groups of students up. One group became prisoners and another group the leaders/wardens. They were put in a mock prison. The experiment showed the wardens getting too big for their boots and getting arrogant, to the point they believed that they genuinley had power, to the extent that they made the prisoners feel really weak and victimised, and they started abusing the power. Now, this task, if they gave someone like Caroline the power as a warden, she would be quite dangerous. The task could be very interesting.

The task is all about putting "good, clever and intelligent people" into a horrible environment, and see if they change stereotypically due to their new status
