Whatever happened to doing the shopping list?
 

I can't remember when I last saw the housemates do this. It almost always led to the first argument

Apparently Jade and Brian are considered more show-worthy.

Oh yeah, I'd totally forgotten about that

Used to love it watching them try and squeeze everything on the list and obviously all the arguments/disagreements that came with it.

Oh yes

all crouched round and the one with the best handwriting did it

mind you i recall a time when the diary room was a thing...

:idc:

They need to bring it back, I want to see another instance of someone buying a ****load of banana's to piss people of, that was hilarious. :blush:

I was thinking the other night about how little we of them in the diary room. I think we've seen more diary room entries from Nikki than we have of half of the house collectively.

I wondered this myself.They've not done it for while now have they?

Do they still put things like Toilet Paper on the shopping list, or does BB just give it to them when they want?

I miss arguments about not having toilet paper, and how they were going to wipe their asses.

BB6 and BB8 had arguments about bog roll.

We know alcohol is provided at Big Brothers discretion, and it's not on the list anymore.

I used to love watching LF with them doing the shopping list, you could guarantee there would be a argument of some sort.

Liam's line to Charley when they had bog rolls with their faces on them

"Charley, can I have yours?"

:laugh:

I remember the eviction audience watching outside laughing at that

wow Ziggy really looks like Christian bale

Too busy showing us the manufactured drama to show us everyday normal reality things

I am pretty sure they don't do a shopping list at all. BB simply chooses what to provide and provides cigarettes, TP and alcohol at their discretion. We've seen the housemates taking stock of supplies after failing shopping tasks so it must be the case that they find out what's coming in on arrival.

They use a tablet now when the have a budget but if it's basic rations the BB just provides it

I miss this, when was the last actual time we saw it?

I honestly can't remember. It used to be my favourite part of the live coverage on the second day. I'd wake up and there they would all be doing the shopping list and then the voices would get louder... :laugh:

Oh, I guess functionally that makes sense but the chalk board was such a BB event, I'd love if they brought it back as well as some of the older restrictions

yeh i used to love the weekly arguments over the shopping list. and then seeing if anyone had the balls to change it when they went into the diary room. seems far too easy now

I liked it when they had to buy alcohol too, rather than being given loads of it every other day with a party...

It's kind of ironic a show full of producers who want to cause drama remove fundamentals like the shopping list and chalkboard which used to be the main cause of BB arguments.

It's quite depressing how fabricated this show has become with drama when it's the simplicity of a group of people living with each other 24/7 that will naturally cause drama when left untouched.

If they have a basic budget they are just provided with the food, but if they have a luxury budget like this week, they choose their shopping. Here is this week's list:
