the shopping task (spoilers)

Day 13: The Regime task

It's the winter of discontent, and in this time of uncertainty, a 'dicator' has risen up and taken over the Big Brother House. The man in question is none other than 5"4 jockey, Frankie Dettori - yes, the seemingly jovial Italian has seized power of the House and is wielding his authority over the other housemates as we speak.

Flanked by his two personal bodyguards, Razor and Ryan, Frankie has taken residency in the Golden Palace (formerly known as the gym), leaving the civilians (AKA the housemates) to the confines of the House and garden. The civilians have been reduced to basic clothing and placed under strict rules set by The Regime – whenever an order is given to them by the dictator, they must obey it. If not, there is a jail in the garden ready and waiting for any unruly inhabitants.


And while the Dictator gorges on food in the palace, the other housemates have been reduced to tinned rations, which contain some rather questionable food. Let's hope they have strong stomachs, otherwise we'll have some very hungry housemates on our hands.

By the way, it's probably worth pointing out that this is a task and not a spontaneous power trip - although you do know what they say about short men...

Anyway, throughout the day, the Dictator will enforce new rules to the House, the first being a ban on all hair and beauty products. We're sure this announcement will go down well with the housemates – particularly lipgloss lover, Rylan. This rule alone is enough to start an uprising...

Speaking of which, in true BB style, there's a twist to this week's shopping task. Later today, a housemate will be called to the Diary Room and told that they are the leader of the Revolution. They will be given the responsibility of initiating secret missions to bring about the downfall of The Regime and secure a luxury shopping task for the House.

Frankie as Dictator? Snoozeworthy :sleep:

We all know Speidi would have been better. Let's hope they play up anyway and kick up a fuss.

I say they have the bath scalding hot and then Big Brother lets them go back down to the basement with some snacks for working hard for a few hours.

[Cherry Christmas]

Thanks to Marcus for all these updates btw.

I'd lay money the leader of the revolution will be Rylan....

if they think we want to see him hoovering the DR, then surely they won't let this opportunity of pushing him forward pass by...incidentally how much did he ham up that task...

Sounds flawless to me :worship:

Perhaps they could be given a secret mission to sabotage the task and if they succeed they'll get a luxury budget to themselves and the rest will live on rations and 'won't have a pot to piss in' (:joker:). They also become immune for the rest of the series and on the final night they get to pick the winner which can include themselves. If they pick themselves their fee doubles, if they don't it halves. Just to ensure that there's no doubt they'll pick themselves.

Is this a joke? It sounds like a wet dream.

Oh no, I'd love that to happen. It's just sad that it won't.

Big Brother should have taken their favouritism the whole way and I'm seriously not joking, they should've just made them immune the whole series. **** the complaints and voters, who cares about them :worship:

Sounds absolutely perfect, I will send them a letter with this plan now, I'm sure they'll oblige.

Hmmm seems ok but can imagine quite boring to actually watch. Rylan singing by the pool? No thanks...

Rylan, you know the one who is not favoured by BB, could he per chance have been briefed in the DR to insult the Dictator, noooooooooooooo, Rylan the leader of the revolution...highly unlikely..:pipe:
