Phobias Shopping Task [Results Posted]

[Josy]

For this week’s shopping task, Housemates will come face to face with various phobias. Housemates believe to pass the task they must face their phobia and not quit (which they can do by pressing the PANIC button at any point).

However, the real task is for Gary. He will be told by Big Brother that he must convince housemates he has a ‘genuine’ phobia of balloons. The task will culminate in him facing this fear. The rest of the housemates will be able to quit on Gary’s behalf and if they do this they will pass the task and win a luxury shopping budget.

HOW IT WORKS

The medical testing room has a big red emergency panic button in the centre of the room, labelled “PANIC”. Housemates can quit the task and escape the room by pressing the button.

DAY 1

THE SET UP

GLOBOPHOBIA - The fear of balloons (Gary): Gary is called to the Diary Room before the start of the shopping task. He is told that the outcome of this week’s shopping task lies with him, and his ability to convince his fellow Housemates that this is a genuine phobia.

The Housemates are then told that for the next two days Big Brother will be testing the Housemates to see if they suffer from various phobias. In these test the housemates will have the option of hitting a ‘panic’ button to quit the test if they are too scared, but doing so will mean that they fail that task.

TASK 1 - CHAIRS OF FEAR

One at a time a Housemate will enter, sit on the chair and come face to face with a phobia. If they manage to face their fear and endure the fear test without waving the white panic flag, they will pass the test.

OSMOPHOBIA – The fear of smells (Stephanie): At the end of the conveyor belt there will be a Perspex box full of horrible props letting off terrible smells including smelly socks, raw fish, and a mouldy food. The box is also full of live black flies. The Housemate will move closer and closer to the box until they are finally inside it, and must take in all the smells around them until the klaxon sounds.

OMPHALOPHONIA – The fear of belly buttons (Edele): At the end of the conveyor belt a man reveals his huge belly. The Housemate will pass the task if they can endure having their face squashed against the belly until the klaxon sounds.

NEOPHOBIA - Fear Of Surprises (Ricci): The Housemate moves towards a sparkly mystery gift box. They are then told to lift the lid and look inside, as they do so they are blasted in the face with gunge.

ARACHNOPHOBIA - The fear of spiders (David and Lauren): A giant spider will enter the pitch black room. With creepy sound effects playing, the ‘spider’ will gently touch David and Lauren to scare them. The giant spider is in fact someone dressed in a spider costume.

EPISTEMOPHOBIA – The fear of knowledge: One at a time the Housemates will see a quote of something that they or another Housemate have said, or a subject that they must discuss. If the Housemate does not wish to read out the quote or discuss the subject, they may push the panic button, but doing so will incur a fail.

MORRISCHOROPHOBIA – The fear of Morris dancing (James and George): James and George will be brought to the testing lab to see if they suffer from a fear of Morris Dancing. To test this they must dress as Morris Dancers and Morris Dance to a piece of folk music for a long time. As always, they can quit at any point by pressing the panic button.

I don't understand how this works. They will the task if Gary fails his part? :suspect:

[Margarine.]

Leslie has Frenchyphobia.

[JoshBB]

This is brilliant.

[Josy]

No not really, Gary must convince them he is terrified of balloons though for his part.

They will fail if none of them feel sorry enough for Gary to press the panic button (I think)

The task will culminate in him facing this fear. The rest of the housemates will be able to quit on Gary’s behalf and if they do this they will pass the task and win a luxury shopping budget.

I think they will fail.

[Vanessa]

Stephanie : fear of smells. :hehe:

Oh, right thanks. They will fail then. This lot have no empathy. :joker:

Isn't this the opposite of the clown one they had to do with Shievonne? :suspect:

Stephanie : fear of smells. :hehe:

But it will be obvious. I have arachnophobia and this wouldn't bother me.

Yeah I'm not sure I like that BB have chosen Gary as the one they need to feel empathy for. He's already showing signs of feeling down that people don't like him. The last thing he needs is to find out none of them give a sh*t enough to fail a task for his sake. If Leslie was chosen they'd all be shouting to quit straight away but I can't say the same for Gary unfortunately.

[jessicadanielle]

Yeah that's such a stupid one. A human dressed in a spider costume? :crazy: gonna be pretty obvious it's not a real spider!

One housemate is enough, i think. So they may pass.

I think it will teach some of them a lesson though, they fail if they don't press it.

[JoshBB]

Yeah, they'll also maybe (selfishly) feel bad for him eventually.

[Margarine.]

What is everyone on TiBB scared of anyway? :smug::hehe:

I'm legit petrified of moths :nono:

[Vanessa]

They won't feel sorry for him. They'll blame him for failing the task. Selfish lot. :bored:

[jessicadanielle]

Oh didn't realise this! Maybe Claire, Edele, Dee, Lauren will feel bad enough to say he should quit. The only ones who I think will literally not give a sh*t are Stephanie, maybe Leslie, James and David. Maybe George too?

I think it will teach some of them a lesson though, they fail if they don't press it.

Oh yeah good point!! Would be nice for some of them to learn that being kind to others is a good thing!

I hope they fail the task. This lot doesn't deserve a luxury shopping budget. :devil:

Spiders, dragonflies, flies, moths, wasps, bees, butterflies, flying ants.. basically any sort of bug that flies and any bug in general, clowns, small spaces and heights :laugh:

i can no go anywhere that as heights

[jaxie]

Brilliant task but since they are the most lacking in empathy group I've ever seen they are gonna fail but I think that is kind of point. A hungry house is a house full of grumpy argumentative people.

The spider people are getting off lightly, they should have had something like an ant farm of spiders or loads dropping in get me out of here style.

Just showing my evil streak with the last part. :hehe:

They will fail. No way will any of them give a crap if Gary is absolutely terrified IMO. They dont give a crap about him, and they are very very selfish. Maybe one or two might have pressed the button if he acts well..but they probably wont because they will have the whole group on their backs about it ;/

[Brother Leon]

No way are they pressing the button for Gary LOL

I've never seen a more self absorbed bunch of housemates. They either target Gary or laugh at the ones who do. Condoning that kind of behaviour doesn't make them any better. The only one who is a friend to him is Frenchie. They have a lot in common.

If they all have to press it then it won't happen. Epic fail. :laugh:

Ah I forgot about her...if a single person can press the button (rather than having to be a group decision), I think she might. She doesnt care if the others hate her :laugh:

[puzzled]

Dee might press the button. On Benefits Street she was the go to person for people who needed help.

[Suze]

And when he tops the vote to stay he will at least realise that the public do :) and so will most of that unsympathtic shambles of housemates in there.

[Vanessa]

That's why she's my favourite with Gary. :love:

Nothing.

And thanks for asking what people are scared of and not what "phobias" people have. So few people have a real phobia and yet call their fear a phobia. It's like people who get a cold and say they have the flu.

Off on a bit of an off-topic rant there... feel cleansed now.

[Vanessa]

If he stays he will know he has fans and it will boost his morale. :)

[jaxie]

I don't find dee particularly sympathetic here. At first I thought she would be nice but I dont see her or anyone showing Gary any kindness or telling others their hate is not on.

[Suze]

If he stays he will know he has fans and it will boost his morale. :) True :) Bet a few of the others will start creeping then.

[Vanessa]

I'm hoping they will be nicer to him. He hasn't killed anyone, fgs. I don't get their hate for him at all.

[hijaxers]

Neither do i ? but they are a very self centered bunch except for a couple of them - This will maybe sort the men from the boys - and show just how kind or unkind some of them are !

The only one who is showing some empathy is Frenchie and that's why she's my second favourite.

Yeah i think Frenchy has a much bigger heart than a lot of the others - she just don't wear it on her sleeve !

Article contains spoilers...

Today was the second and last day of the Phobias Shopping Task (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/celebritybigbrother2014-cbb14/news-262971/phobias-shopping-task.html), the housemates were unaware that parts of the task they all took part in were in fact fake and to really pass the task Gary had to convince the housemates he had a very bad phobia.....

The housemates FAILED to press the panic button for Gary therefore they have failed the shopping task and as a result they will be living on basic rations..

Well wasnt that predictable :laugh:

[Rob!]

See, if I was in there with a task like that, I'd assume the point was for US to press the button because it was the only point in the task where the get out clause wasn't in the hands of the participant..

[Vanessa]

This will make the housemates look bad and Gary look good. :smug:

Wow so they failed and Dee is blaming Gary! It is unbelievable tbh, had they had a bit of compassion they would have let Audley and James press that button but they didnt want them to do it. So yes lets blame Gary...wow once again! The answer was in the quest itself, did BB ask them to press the button for the others?

I don't mind. It's almost eviction night. This will make push Gary to the top of the vote. :hehe:

Yep, amazing behaviour really, glad i don't need to rely on any of them in a crisis.

This is what happened, only James and Audley wanted to press the button. Now Madam Dee is blaming Gary for the loss of the task. Oh dear what an idiot she is.....

[Jules2]

See, if I was in there with a task like that, I'd assume the point was for US to press the button because it was the only point in the task where the get out clause wasn't in the hands of the participant..

I agree Rob, they had the answer in their hands but they abused it.

[Jules2]

They won't feel sorry for him. They'll blame him for failing the task. Selfish lot. :bored:

Well Dee certainly is and I think Edele is questioning the fact. Nasty lot.
