Do you like it or not?

[Rob!]

I do actually. It’s obviously been designed to bring out the topic of politics amongst them, which in today’s climate is guaranteed to start friction. It could be more subtle I suppose but I think it’s created a really strong opening few days.

[Cherie]

Reminded me of an old style tasks, looks innocuous enough but designed to cause tension, and it is a parody which seems to be going over some heads...

[Marsh.]

Embarrassing tbh.

I hope Kirstie got a decent fee, she looks like she's regretting it already.

[montblanc]

don’t like it

CBB21 taught me that i’d rather not watch a super political series because it drains me and it’s reminding me of that

[Baby Jane]

I love it!

Feels very old school

[Daniel-X]

I’m liking it a lot, it’s opening a whole can of worms about political views/agendas that are actually interesting to watch.

[Josy]

Its an alright task imo, they should have kept them guarding the wall overnight though imo I miss 24 hr tasks.

Its also been thought up to cause some conflict though

[Owen19]

Really messy but great at the same time

[Rob!]

Also can we just at the fact that they’ve gone straight into a shopping task with this much thought put into it instead of getting them all to stand under a mass of cotton wool to represent a cloud and getting the housemates to attribute buckets of water over their heads that represent “which housemate does this storm belong to?”

[thisisdanny]

It's been a great task.

Tasks that last days are the best, and like Cherie said above, it's caused a divide which is great viewing, and has caused a lot of good debates between the housemates. C5's usual ideas to cause divides would be who said what, so this is a refreshing change, and more C4 feels to it

Give them time. This was all originally for Stormy's benefit.

They needed to save something for after her week was over!

But really "Hollywood actress who got really fat" and "Threatened to stab the mother of his child" or "Who got licked out on Lake Placid" would be a pretty obvious game.

[Jake.]

I like it because it’s an actual shopping task with a clear purpose.

Yeah they should at least up her fee for doing this when Stormy was meant to be doing it and even though she will obviously survive evictions this could actually ruin her time in there?

Sally to push her so her predictions come true and be like oh look at me I called this, i'm not a fraud

Dan Osborne. He isn't really a nice person

[Jason.]

I like that it's more of a C4 style task with it running over the course of a few days and them incurring fails but the whole wall thing was embarrassing.

Oh mess i didn't realise this

[Headie]

Y'all are too easy to please, celebrating over a task lasting longer than a day

It's a pretty dull task and I can see why people are offended at certain things like the wall - it's making a mockery of traumatic experiences that many Americans are going through right now.

I'm ready for it to be over and hopefully we get a better quality shopping task next time!

Yeah, agreed. The execution has improved massively on previous seasons, but the task is both pointless and tasteless and it's pretty clear that neither Kirstie nor Ryan are enjoying being "in power".

[Marsh.]

This should have gone in the bin the minute Stormy Daniels walked away.

[Clootie Dumpling]

It may have been the producers' intention to start with something political to crank up the tensions, but a lot of the airhead, Millennial HMs seem totally oblivious of the issues and are, therefore, apolitical.

[JoshBB]

The wall thing w/ green cards was pretty insensitive when you think back to the whole "children being separated from their families" thing (which some still are, btw). I also don't like how they had non-HMs enter the house, and I guess it's a minor violation of the format because we didn't see their face & they didn't interact, but still.

It's a lot better than tasks from the BB14-16 era, but really that's not difficult as the bar couldn't be lower in that case lol
