Question about the task/noms

[Benjamin]

Firstly does anyone know if BB actually said the winners were the only ones nominating?


Secondly if they did, then maybe they got all the housemates to nominate and told them who was up, but actually lied to them and only really counted the winners' noms for us to vote with?

[Jake.]

God I wish it was the latter, it won't be though

Here’s everything you need to know about the task from Channel 5…

HOW IT WORKS

The Housemates are split in two armies – the evil and odorous Ninnyhammers versus the noble Knights. Big Brother announces that LIONEL will become the captain of the Knights and DAPPY will become the captain of the Ninnyhammers. As captains, they will take it in
turns to choose their teams. As there is an odd number of Housemates, one team will have 6 players and one team will have 5.
Teams must compete against each other in the first two hits to win lifelines for the last decisive contest, The Joust. The team that wins The Joust will win the war and only they will have the right to nominate.

TASKS

There are two head to heads and the final joust – winning a head to head wins a lifeline in the final joust.



Defeating the Beast of Big Brother

For the first challenge, two warriors come face to face with an evil mythical beast from the realm. The two Housemates await the beast, each Housemate wearing a tail of sausages. The beast is then revealed to be a very cute, excitable dog dressed as a lion. The two Housemates
must avoid getting caught by the foul beast and have the sausages stripped off their belt. The first Housemate to lose a sausage will be the loser.

The Potion of Power

Two small teams from each side will compete to make a magical potion with the greatest result. They must compete at the same time to create the highest spurt of foam – the winner gets a lifeline in the final joust.

The Final Joust

A Housemate from each team must partake in the final battle – The Joust…

A wall separates the two battling Housemates, standing on identical stumps. One at a time, they must choose a plinth to stand on and then push a jousting pole through the wall with the aim to strike the other Housemate and push him off his stump, whilst also dodging any jousts being pushed in their direction.
The Joust runs like battleships, in that BB asks HMs to take their positions and then push their jousting poles. The lifelines gained in the previous battles provide chances for HMs to be pushed off their stump but get back on and play again. The game is over when one HM has used up all their life lines.

The team that wins The Joust will win the right to nominate. The losing team will not get the chance to nominate.



The Feast

Winners of the challenge will be rewarded with a medieval banquet which will be set on the Dining Room table.

[Benjamin]

Either way we will lose a good housemate. Sam needs the boot for being so dull.

It was from the ch5 press team .It was on the update thread on DS when I came on .I checked it and I also checked Tellymix and they both stated the team that win will nominate .



Celebrity Big Brother’s press team have just announced that the housemates are to be set a mini-task that will see them LARPIng, which is live action role playing…

For the task, the housemates are to be split into two teams and all of them will be required to plunge themselves into the world of live action role play as they’ll be told they’re going to form two armies who must “face each other in challenges to gain advantages in the final epic
battle – The Joust – and therefore win the war.”

So they've changed it then :suspect:

[erinp5]

TellyMix ‏@tellymix 4h

C5 in 'making it up as they go along' shocker MT @bbspy @BBUKLive Jim's nominating? I thought only the winning team got to nominate? @bbuk

[erinp5]

So they've changed it then :suspect:

bbspy ‏@bbspy 58m

All housemates nominated, despite the previous announcement that said only the winners of today's task would have the right to nominate #cbb

[Matt]

Firstly does anyone know if BB actually said the winners were the only ones nominating?

The twist was announced by Channel 5 via press release this afternoon. However, it was clearly cancelled, as...



Secondly if they did, then maybe they got all the housemates to nominate and told them who was up, but actually lied to them and only really counted the winners' noms for us to vote with?

...if this had been true, Luisa wouldn't be up for eviction - both her nominations came from the losing team

[erinp5]

I just don't want members to think I would put up misleading info or worse the wrong info .
