After last week’s shopping task included a meeting from the Queen it was up to Big Brother’s task team to think of something even better for this week’s shopping task. In order to receive a luxury shopping budget this week the housemates will have to become werewolves and vampires…

As the housemates awoke this morning they discovered that for this week’s shopping task they will inhabit the Big Brother House of Horrors. Giant spiders and cobwebs hang from the walls and the garden has been transformed into a cemetery with each Housemate having their own tombstone.

“All these gravestones have our names on,” remarked Charlie. “I hope mine is in the sun.”

“Why’s mine got a crow on?” moaned Bea, “Oh my God, there’s blood in this!” she gasped.

“This is going to be a good, good Task,” Lisa said.

This week’s shopping task consists of four separate challenges and one group challenge. Housemates need to pass three or more of the five challenges to receive a luxury budget.

Two housemates will become Werewolves as part of the task. Big Brother has place two rocks in the living room, from dusk until 2am, Big Brother will play the sound of a werewolf howling. Upon hearing this, the Werewolves have 75 seconds to get on the rock, outstretch their arms for ten seconds, then remove their costumes to reveal there inner werewolf suit underneath. They must also howl like a wolf until they hear the sound of birds tweeting.

Two other housemates will become Vampires and take part in a challenge this afternoon. Vampires like to hang around in cemeteries, upside down. In the garden is a church roof. To pass the challenge each vampire must hang upside from the church roof, attached only by their legs, for a total of seven minutes!

One housemate will become a skeleton while another a Headless Horseman – they will take part in a challenge tomorrow.

Two more housemates will take up the roles of Dr Frankenstein and Frankenstein’s Monster and will be taking part in a scientific experiment later today. The small task room has been converted into a laboratory with two tables. On one table is a ‘corpse’, containing body parts that must be surgically removed by Dr Frankenstein using the metal tools provided. Each body part is sat in a wire mesh case.

In the lab is also a set of stimulator pads. These must be attached to Frankenstein’s Monster’s buttocks. If, when attempting to remove a body part, Dr Frankenstein touches the wire mesh with a surgical tool, a buzzer will sound and Frankenstein’s Monster will receive a mild electric shock. Each time the buzzer sounds, Dr Frankenstein must replace the body part, but may re-attempt to remove it. Dr Frankenstein must remove eight of the ten body parts in order to pass their part of the shopping task, looks like this will be fun to watch!

One other housemate will become a mummy and take part in a mummy challenge tomorrow.

Finally there is a group challenge – through the today and tomorrow a ghost train will travel through the Big Brother garden. On the sound of the train whistle, all Housemates must walk around the garden like zombies until the whistle sounds again once the Ghost train has left the garden. Housemates must incur no more than 3 fails in order to pass this part of the task!

After two task passes in a row now will the winning streak continue? Or is it back to basics for the house’s final weeks?
