Hippy House
 

Housemates have awoken to find Glastonbury has arrived in the Big Brother garden.

A mini Stonehenge has appeared on the grass, plus a camping stove and a chemical toilet. Nice.

Also in the garden is a rock concert stage, complete with minute musical instruments.

The new décor is part of this week's task - an homage to the great Glastonbury music festival.

In order to really experience the festival vibe Big Brother has switched off the House's hob and cooker and removed the kettle and toaster. Housemates will be expected to prepare all their food on the stove and BBQ camping stylee.

Plus all the housemates' tea and coffee has been replaced with herbal tea, man.

The toilet and shower will also be out of bounds so housemates will have to suffer the delights of the portaloo to really feel (and smell) the atmosphere of Glastonbury.

... and Stuart has a pluck


Later this morning housemates will be asked to form a rock band. Each member of the group will be provided with a jacket and wig to wear while performing. They will then be expected to "rock out" when they hear a special guitar riff trigger.

When they hear the riff, housemates will have 20 seconds to get into costume and on to the stage, instrument in hand. A "no show" will count as a fail. Three fails are allowed over the duration of the weekly task.

If the housemates pass the task they will receive a full moon party.

First to note the new arrivals this morning were Becki and Shell, who alerted the House to the goings on. But Ahmed was the first to want to rock, fiddling timidly with the drums on the garden stage.

But soon Stuart was plucking a mini guitar and getting excited, "What a great day," he muttered.

We wonder if he'll be feeling the same way in a few hours' time, when that famous festival stink starts permeating the House... hmmm...

It's a shame that there will be no more saturday tasks

The only thing about the live Saturday tasks is that it is repeated on the sunday 9pm show.

Chemical Brothers
Day 32, 11:20
Monday 28 June

Housemates' reactions to the realisation they must use a chemical toilet throughout the Glastonbury task have ranged from scorn to outrage.

Dan is the most aggrieved by it. "I'm not using that toilet. I shall be leaving. It's outrageous," he pouted, before claiming that even when he goes to festivals he doesn't use the loos there.

"Tres degrading," was Victor bi-lingual response to the disgruntled posse of Jason, Dan, Marco and Stuart even though he was initially unsure what Glastonbury was.

Dan soon put him straight, telling him "there are bands and you don't wash," which just about sums it up.

"It's horrible," was Jason's response.

Stuart asked Ahmed what he thought about the new arrangements.

"Everything is childish," he said, enigmatically. Presumably he's not keen.

But Shell had a more positive spin on it, saying, "My only problem is privacy. Could we put a top on it? Then it could be private for a whole lot of things. Great!"

At least someone's looking on the bright side. A picture of Owen Wilson and an enclosed chemical toilet and she'll be away...

Watch this space to find out how the housemates get on with their task - chemical loo an' all...

yep, no one is happy about the new task!

Dan's really peed off about it..

Do you like my avatar?:joker:

I think its a good task:bouncy:

Yes he did, i think it's a good nick name for him..:laugh:

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

I wonder if he would be pleased with the nick name ("Gandalf The Gay?"):laugh:

he would probably find that funny!

:laugh: I think he would to

Rockin' the House
Day 32, 12:00
Monday 28 June

The housemates became excited beyond all reason by their "rock out" wigs, almost providing more screams than Glastonbury itself.

And minutes afterwards they heard the noise trigger that sets off their rock out session. Hurriedly they put on their wigs and jackets and took to the stage.

"Let's start rocking, guys!" shouted Stuart, loving every minute of it.

The House band made a right old racket, not to mention a shocking sight, with ten nodding, mad-looking wigs and mini instruments.

Victor bashed the drums sporting a Rick James style wig, while Michelle belted out 'Final Countdown' into the mic in her Euro rock chick rug.

Got his finger on the pulse


Stuart totally rocked out on his tiny keyboard while Marco got jiggy with his mullet. Shell showed off some big blonde 70s hair and Jason looked like a tramp who'd stolen a small child's saxophone.

Nadia's Status Quo barnet was frankly frightening while Dan worked a Brian May look with panache.

The result was a task performed with enthusiasm that looked like a Spinal Tap refugee camp more than a festival.

"That is the coolest task ever," said Rock God Stu.

Not from where we're standing, Stu!

lol, they seem to be having fun!

lol yeah they seem to be having fun but for how long

Yes they do,nadia seem's to be enjoying it more then any of them

Housemates Meet Their Portaloo
Day 32, 15:30
Monday 28 June

The housemates were overcome with a sudden attack of modesty when Big Brother ordered them to remove the black shroud they've placed over the portaloo.

Victor took the order from the Diary Room and he was also the most vocal in his objection.

"This is just grime," he protested. Victor then vowed that he would not use the chemical toilet and "hold in" the consequences until the housemates are allowed to use the inside toilet.

"I'm going to hold," he promised.

Jason ridiculed the idea that he might do just that. "You're in [the toilet] more than Ahmed," he teased.

Given the reaction of the housemates to a semi-exposed loo it would seem none of them had been to a festival before.

Shell insisted on being able to go before the material was taken down and then still complained, "You can hear me pee!"

"What if it rains?" asked Victor. Heavens!

And Nadia was even more confused. "Are you standing up?" she asked, innocently.

"That's what guys do," explained Jay.

"They're going to see your thing though," she pointed out, with concern.

Reluctantly, Dan handed in the black drape to Big Brother.

It's tough, but that's rock 'n' roll.

:laugh: This sounds great, how have they all been doing today? Has Victor used the loo yet?

I like the sound of this task! It's part evil by depriving the housemates of some of their "luxuries", whilst the bit where they get on stage and sing sounds like fun.

I've never seen a Portaloo without a roof on though? ! :hugesmile:

Portaloo without a roof? I wonder what would happen if it rained Heavily?
:hugesmile::laugh:

They usually use those in caravans son't they? small portaloos!

Yeah they do Amy I have experienced 1 lol

:laugh:
