I think that is one of the best tasks ever .Do you know if they are going to bring it back.

Do you have any idea on what the Tasks may be.


Thanks .

I'd love to see the box task again. The box task from BB6 was one of the funniest moments in BB history.

It was good, but who's to say it would work again? They've already done it twice anyway.

I don't think it would work again - it's one of those iconic tasks that is best left alone.

In response to your second question, I'm sure nobody knows what the tasks are before they're announced in the house.

I would love to see this task again BUT it needs to be done with a bunch of competative housemates like the BB6 Housemates and not with housemates that just want to look in the mirror all day and are just wannabes like the BB7 and 8 housemates that why the sardine and standing on a box task never worked in those series.

I would rather they re-done some more sucessful tasks than think up new crappy ones like they did in BB8. I liked the weekly themed tasks of BB6 and I think they should combine new ideas with old ones (which would be slightly tweaked).

I love the box task wouldn't work again it only worked in BB6 because they had the exactly right sort of personalities where it would work. (Science/Derek/Kemal ect.)

I loved the box task, one of the funniest BB moments ever but I don't want to see it repeated because it wouldn't be as good and it could only work with the perfect set of housemates

haha i rember the box task, i think that is one of the best ever tasks.... it was so funny how BB had to step in to stop them because they were going on too long, and even then they took about an hour untill they got out.

i thought the standing on the box task was quite good actually :conf2:

i want FRESH funny tasks this year, and i love the mini taks they do !

i think the box task was great but its one of those things that was good but shouldn't be done again to avoid ruining it

The box task and the insomnia task were both fantastic endurance tasks. Who cares if they have been done , do them EVERY series. Match results against previous series efforts.

I think a good endurance task would be done well in pairs. As if one person wants to give up, its letting the pair down like that HOH task in BB9 where they had to hold them. Do sumin like that on launch night. Then the winner gets to decide which two housemates are up.

They need more tasks with strength and stuff. Probably a obstace course and like the tasks theu do in the US and the Italian one.

Exactly. How does everyone know the box task wouldn't be as good if it was done again? All it needs is a few competitive people who'd stay inside their box (and let's face it if BB9 is short of competitive housemates, it's doomed from the start). It will be interesting to see how it would play out differently with a different set of housemates.

How many times do other reality shows repeat tasks? 70% of the Bush Tucker Trials on IAC are recycled each year, and they still work.

yeah exactly, the long ones i love....and sometimes, yes sometimes, even the HND, like the prison task in BB7, and the sleep depravation task would have worked if the housmates were interseting.

basically,i want, the comppettiveness of BB6, with the housemates of BB7 or bb5

they were all my favortite series.

Bring on the 4 day long tasks!
BUT NOT THE GURU ONE !!!!!!!
