Big Brother asked someone to come to the diary room.

Jade came out carry 2 footballs and said Big Brother had set them a task. If they pass - they can watch the England/Nigeria match.

As per usual - there is a twist

The task is for the girls - the rich and poor side were both given a football and the girls have to do a certain mount of keep ups each.

If they get the amount they pass - if they dont - no football match!

PJ was quite annoyed that it was for the girls......

Well at least we have something to watch on TV now - instead of them sitting on the couch

Kate did keepie-up in her audition tape, she should be a strength for the girls I think.

Jade might be a liability though...!!

At last something to occupy their time.
The boys will be driving the girls all the way to get THIS right.
They have to practice for four hours.
Hooray!!! that will keep them busy.

At the moment Jade is trying very hard. She knows how important this is to the men? in the house.
She is trying very trying.

[WILDCHILD]

I hope they do pass because it will be really good TV for us!!!

Adele is havin a bit of trouble!

[jbellemeg]

Well they managed 25 minutes between them. Wouldn't it be nice for them if they could watch the last 25 minutes? At least then they would know the score.

[Kaz]

Sadly for the housemates, it'll only be the first 25 minutes they get to watch, jbellemeg. AND that means just watch - apparently they won't get the commentary to listen to!

Also, the housemates on the poor side will have to lean through the bars to watch the screen.

Still, it's a lot more than poor Bubble and Dean got last year!

[Amy]

Only the first twenty five minutes!!! lets hope england entertain them with a few goals before it's turned off!!! i don't know why they could'nt just let them watch the whole thing

[jbellemeg]

Exactly Kaz. Remember the excitement when Dean heard the score last year? He couldn't wait to get back in the house to tell Bubble. Classic!!!!!!!!!
Bubble still wasn't convinced and went out to the garden, only to be told to get back in the house by Big Brother.
HAPPY DAYS.
I didn't realise there won't be any sound tomorrow.
Just hope they get a goal in the first 25 minutes.

[LEE]

I'm not surprised there's going to be no sound. BB don't want the housemates to find out any additional information from the outside world. They wouldn't want them to know, for example, that England had already beaten Argentina, that Ireland were through and France were out. Any of these things might be mentioned in the commentary.

[jbellemeg]

Never thought of that Lee.

[bananarama]

Poor JP won't be able to see the football as BB won't let him have his glasses that he left on the other side of the house.

How big and where is the TV

Mark

[Kaz]

It's a plasma screen, Mark - so I would think that it's fairly big. And it's located somewhere in the main lounge area. Not very helpful ........ sorry!

I feel for poor PJ - I know if I haven't got my specs on, the TV screen is just a blur. That's really harsh of Big Brother.

[bananarama]

It's a plasma screen so I suppose it is at least 42 " and I think it's opposite the red sofa seating

[jbellemeg]

Good Luck for your exam Mark.

I think it is a plasma screen, but where it is is anyone guess. I know they have one in the good bedroom so maybe they will have to keep the door open for the others to see it.
I don't remember seeing one in the lounge area.

I heard on the C4 show that for Sophies birthday, they got to watch a bit of the Lewis/Tyson match - well, I didnt know that one!!

[Kaz]

Yes, that's right, Wildchild.

Big Brother told Sophie that she had to pick a round from the fight that she wanted to see. However if the fight had only lasted 1 round and she picked round 5, she wouldn't have seen anything!

Fortunately the fight lasted 8 rounds, I think, and she decided to pick round 3. But how frustrating to see that and not know how the fight ended!

A bit like the housemates getting to see 25 minutes of the match tomorrow, but not knowing the final score.

Let hope the one's on the rich side don't pull a selfish act and watch it in bed on the bedroom screen, but go out into the lounge area. So the other's can see it.
