Shopping Task

[Vanessa]

Day 62: Rescue Squad
5 mins ago
Holy housemates! The shopping is in peril!

If the gang want to eat in their last week, they're going to have to save their shopping from a fate worse than death...

This week the Housemates must form a Rescue Squad, responsible for any and all emergency situations that might occur in the Big Brother house. The tree house has become Rescue HQ, complete with an emergency phone which must be manned at all times by two Housemates.

Whenever the allotted pair hear the phone ring, they'll immediately have to ascertain where the emergency is taking place and what the nature of the emergency is. They'll then dash to the rescue of the shopping. Taking it in turns to man Rescue HQ, they'll respond to emergencies in pairs of their own choosing. For two whole heroic days they'll be rescuing their shopping (as well as gold tokens representing special prizes) from a series of perilous situations. Any shopping rescued is all theirs!

Here's what they'll be wrestling with for the next 48 hours:

Burning Building

There's a Town Hall in the garden – a building which has a tendency to catch fire. Each time it bursts into flames, the Rescue Squad members will be ready and waiting to catch any shopping which jumps for safety.

Laser

In the Sewer (the large task room), the shopping has been tied to a chair. A bright green laser beam is heading towards it slowly. If the laser beam hits the shopping, it will destroy it. Two Rescue Squad Housemates, stuck together with double-sided tape, must free themselves to press the ‘Off’ buttons to save the shopping from total destruction.

Bomb

On Main Street (the garden), the shopping is surrounded by large barrels labelled ‘gunpowder’ – each with a coloured wire representing a different Housemate. Housemates must answer three questions correctly by cutting three wires in the correct order to disable the detonator. Each mistake cuts a minute from their time. They must attempt to disarm the bomb and save the shopping before the bomb detonates.

Are our housemates ready to search for the hero inside themselves? Are they prepared to fight for food, shopping and the Big Brother way?

Housemates! Assemble!

OMG! A 24 HOURS TASK! :amazed:

Day 63: The Rescue Squad rota takes its toll



All told, it's been a bit of a busy night for our beloved housemates.

The Rescue Squad task has seen our squaddies working shifts to ensure that none of their weekly shopping falls victim to circumstance. They've been saving groceries all night and all morning – grumbling, laughing, muttering and joking their way through sunrise and, when occasion demanded, jumping to attention and scooping up their supper from perilous situations.

Gina and Dexter saw in Day 63, working the witching hour shift. To keep their spirits up, referring to vegetables he nearly saved, Dexter kept making that "mushroom" / "much room" gag we're all familiar with. Gina's response was to comment on how "ridonkulous" the entire situation was. It's hard to argue with that point of view.

Sam took over from Dexter in the early hours. He and Gina nattered about all kinds of stuff, the highlight probably being a chat about which would be worse – being bitten by a tarantula or a shark. It's a tough call, that one. Heroically, Dexter rose again to take over alongside Charlie, allowing Gina and Sam to get back to sleepy-time.

Chexter chuckled throughout their graveyard slot. There was belching (Dexter: "I can't stop burping garlic"), there was singing of Peter Andre tunes and there was also a little period where they addressed their issues with each other. But soon their delirium turned to slight annoyance as the twins took a while to take over from their shift. Sophie joined the grumpy pair for a while, at which point Jack began to worry about what the sunrise might bring. His main concern was wasps and other stingers.

"What time do bees get up in the morning?" he pondered, looking worried.

Sam and Gina took over again not long after as the sun rose higher in the sky. Gina's favourite word, "ridonkulous" was aired time and time again but she and Sam struggled through until Charlie and Dexter took over once more. When they were done, the twins took to the tree house to relieve them of their duties. And on it goes, with the rota turning over and leaving our housemates slightly bewildered, losing track of time, dressed in blue spandex and working for food.

Isn't it marvellous?

Oh, good heavens! There's more trouble in store for Rescue Squad as this week's shopping task continues...

A steam roller has entered the garden, gone out of control and the driver's jumped! What's more, he's also thrown a huge amount of shopping along the length of the road in the process.

When the traffic lights turn green, the steam roller will start driving along the road, crushing any shopping in its path. An override lever which can turn this traffic light to red is located in the Sewer.

Two housemates are going to be handcuffed together to a matrix of pipes in the Sewer. As the steam roller gradually destroys their shopping, this pair must navigate through the pipe matrix to reach the lever as quickly as possible.

The faster they go, the quicker they'll be able to turn the lights red again to stop the steam roller - and the more of their delicious shopping they'll save.

This is an important one – so don't go falling flat, housemates
