Computer/Video games as a BB task
 

It's obvious Big Brother has thought of so many tasks for housemates to do each week, why no computer/video game tasks? Computer games are a part of life, a large percentage of us have played them and most really enjoy them. They can be stressful too which would make good TV.

Why not for ONE weeks shopping task (or just a small task to pass a few hours), have some kind of computer game challenge involved? Like a racing game e.g (Race Driver GRID, Gran Turismo, DiRT) Or Guitar Hero/Rock Band or something that could scare the housemates. Even a sports game or some sort of strategy. Hell, even attempting to create the Big Brother house in the Sims 3 would be good enough for me... I don't know.

If a small task, housemates could have a little tournament between them and the winner gets a prize. For a weekly task, Big Brother sets them a score to beat or some kind of marker to meet and housemates must work together to achieve it.

Don't forget to vote in the poll!

Very good idea! Some Nintendo Wii games vs. Big Brother would be funny to watch.

Tennis, Golf, Spelling. I'd like to see that.

I think it'd be boring viewing to be perfectly honest. There'd be no stress or competition, they'd be sitting inanimately staring at a screen completing some challenges.

Not all games require you to stare at a screen and be inanimate. I can think of lots of games that would be fun to watch on TV. Big Brother doesn't have to show the whole game either, just bits and peices, like they do with other stuff such as housemate quizes.

If it was a wii one then it might be funny :laugh:

Deffinately

I think the wii would be perfect.

Whoever has the youngest wii fit ages get a party or something...or they do the shopping task against BB...

Marcus would kill them all :)

Not on a wii i dont think...

I've never used a Wii (only PC, xbox 360 and PS3) but I understand how fun they can be and good to watch lol.

Marcus on a Wii would make great TV and so would Lisa... if she can figure it out.

great idea give them a ps3 and battlefield 1943:wink:

they should put the arcade dance machine thingy in there!!!

I like that idea!

Can they dress up as well known game charcters while they play [eg Pac Man, Sonic, Mario Bros]

Dance mat!!!!!!

I could watch my bro play the xbox :S

You could watch your bro, but it's better to watch the housemates as your bro isn't a housemate :tongue:

Not if it involves them playing something like Street Fighter IV online.

It would be a guaranteed failure.

Watching them play a 360/PS3 would be pretty boring but with the Wii being more interactive that could be fun.

On BB4 they had a PS2 with the Eyetoy camera. It was a reward not a task but it was funny to watch, especially when Federico was doing kung fu.
