Day 42: Task resolve- The Answer is...
This week's shopping task was the product of a gargantuan poll filled out by nearly 10,000 of you, our lovely viewers. In it, you decided who you'd like Callum to perform a lap dance for, who you'd like to see GUNGED, who Dexter should date and which of the twins was Westlifer Shane Filan's fave.
So, before we give you a rundown of the rather sinisterly titled end game of the task, let's have a round of applause for you, if you filled in the poll that helped us shape one of our favourite shopping tasks of this series so far. And if you didn't vote, that's OK too; just keep your eyes peeled from now on, for other ways to get involved.
Now, on to the task! The housemates were corralled into the task room to be welcomed by a platform with places numbered 1-9, and told that they must place themselves in the order that they thought the public had voted them in, regarding who should win. They were also told that the shopping budget stood at a whopping £910!
What followed could charitably be described as utter chaos, as the housemates milled around, pushing each other from pillar to post, while the countdown ticked off the pennies. They really did take their time, and perhaps it was Dan's steadfast appearance in place 3 (rather than place 5) and the other housemates' seeming refusal to pop Dexter into place 3 (keeping him right down in places 7, 8 and even 9) 'til the very end that meant they ended up losing quite a bit of the budget.
You see, they managed to whittle down their luxury £910 budget to a pretty paltry £76. Oh dear, housemates. Oh dear
