This week the shopping task is all about gathering honey for BB. Gina, of course, is the Queen Bee, so she has to lead and watch over the other housemates as they gather the honey. This week, as we all know, she has been at the wrong end of an argument. Could the way she handles and goes about this decide her future in the house?



"This week’s shopping task is going to be a bit of a buzz – but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re all going to have lots of fun. The Big Brother House has been turned into a busy working beehive – and as we all know, bees work very hard to ensure there’s enough honey for their Queen.

Gina is the Queen Bee, becoming head of the hive and reigning over the task. She’ll watch her hive from the lap of luxury and make all the big decisions. Our Queen will pick one person to become her Guard Bee – the muscle that keeps the hive moving and enforces all the decisions –leaving the rest of the gang as Workers.

Workers will live a tough life, with scheduled breaks and basic rations. On top of that, they’ll be wearing shock pads so that, should they fall out of line, the Queen can dish out some instant punishment. BUZZ!

Over the next two days, Big Brother’s going to be ordering honey. A target amount of honey jars will have to be produced by our drones at the end of the shift – but Big Brother will also state to the Queen that they’ll be given treats in exchange for any extra honey jars that are produced. This will be a secret from the Worker Bees, so it’s at the Queen and Workers’ discretion how hard the Workers will work.

The first day of this sticky task is going to see HMs working all the hours god sends at BB’s Honey Producing Plant. One Worker Bee will stand on a platform filled with sticky honey while the rest will walk in circles, leaning on a bar that stirs the honey and pushes it out through taps further along the assembly line. Other Worker Bees will stand next to conveyor belt waiting to scoop up all that good stuff. It’s going to be a nectar festival, if only our pals can keep their spirits up.

Let’s hope Housemates keep their stings in order and don’t bumble around too much!

No honey = no money."

The task centres around Gina? Surely not.... That'll make a change, right?

Why is she "Queen Bee"? Is it because we're led to believe she has money, and that really impresses some people?

Do you think this is another ploy by the producers to give her a second chance? Surely.

More likely they are giving her enough rope to hang herself.

A SECOND chance? How many tasks has she had? I'm sick of the sight of her.

Probably. What they should do is give her the opportunity to walk with half the prize money. Then we will be able to see if she is legit or not.

The producers obviously think she's not only loaded but actually DOES live in the Savoy and only eats Ferry Rockies for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner!

To be fair, she has had the least tasks based around her, and the least secret tasks out of those left.

Shes not actually had many tasks at all, shes just fresh in people's minds because of the letter task & the fact she pulls off the tasks so well that it gets airtime. (Sophies task didn't get shown yesterday as she was not exciting enough). The Twins have had far more tasks than Gina & Dan also had tonnes more when he was in the house.

Someone seems impressed with her don't they?. Personally I'm sick of the woman; can't believe she's popular, what's wrong with people??.

When the task was announced last week I knew BB would choose Gina

What's happened to the randomness of 'can one person come to the diary room' then the mad rush for the door?

[Withano]

Urgh

[sampvt]

Why don't they just give her the 100k and get her out so we can enjoy the rest of the series.

[Headie]

They're doing it to make her look bad. People won't like how she'll abuse power, control everything etc. and Sam will come out of it the clear winner *sigh*

Indeed. Can't believe the replies are saying this task is setting her up to win when it's quite the opposite.

I think it will do either. I think Big Brother is giving her the opportunity to either win it or lose it. It all depends on the way she handles it. I, for one, hope she leads the house well and regains some respect.

This - don't think I'll bother too much with watching this - as soon as they announced the task on BOTS I had the feeling it was all designed around Gina
