Did Big Brother just announce it over the tannoy?
Can't believe I missed it!
Shame, poor housemates!

Apparently they kept the pedalo speed above the required 60 revolutions per minute for the time (so what was the photo in the Daily Express about then??).

But they failed becuase they didn't have at least two people in the pedalo at all times except for changeovers - this rule was broken on one occasion.

Unfortunately E4 kept dipping the sound suring the announcement but I think that's the main points.

They're gonna be on lentils next week!!!

[WILDCHILD]

It was quite a hard task though, I think so. Compared to a quiz last year, having to keep a pedalo going for 72 hours is very hard.

So annoying isn't it I'm sure they keep dipping it to keep for the 10pm show

[kaphc]

The housemates were probably swearing at the result as well though!

[BigSister]

Apparently Federico said he had to get out for chewing gum
I dont k ow if that is true or not

Here's the story from ananova ...

Housemates disappointed at task failure

The Big Brother housemates have failed their pedalo task - for not having two members in the pedalo at any one time.

The group gathered in the lounge and held hands as the announcement was made.

They will now lose half their shopping budget and have only Ł57 next week.

The rules of the 72-hour challenge stated they must pedal continuously at a speed of at least 60 revolutions per minute, and two people must be in the pedalo at all times.

Federico took the blame for the failure, saying he had leaned over to get some chewing gum whilst peddling and accidently broken the rules.

He offered to go without alcohol next week to make up for it - if he was still in the Big Brother house.

The boys decided to have a cold beer in the garden, despite the disappointment, and continued to analyse the failure.

Earlier the rest of the group gathered in the garden as birthday girl Steph was presented with a chocolate fudge sponge, which Anouska and Gos had worked on all morning.

Yeah it was Federicos fault - and he's feeling really guilty about it!

The group are trying to make him feel better by saying it didn't matter....

- Mark

[Kaz]

Oh dear . . . . . . . . poor Federico.

Still - Helen took the blame for failing the Fire Task in BB2, and it didn't do her any lasting damage, did it!

[kaphc]

Most of the text messages on E4 at the moment are saying that Federico should stay - mainly because he is so sexy
(allegedly!).

So I don't think it will do him too much harm in the public's eyes but he has just provided the others with a reason for nominating next week.

WELL, I can relate to that!

[James]

Is Big Brother a beauty contest now then?

Anyway failing the task means they have 74p per housemate per day to spend on shopping. Oops!

It looks like the house is going to become like the poor side last year.

[WILDCHILD]

It seems the housemates are going to have a tough time deciding who to nominate so Federico could be a good reason for them.

It seems pretty cheeky on Federcio's part though because it was only on last nights show he was moaning because he said he only trusted the boys and not the girls.

I don't think the public are going to use this as a reason to evict Federico though - it only affects the housemates who are gonna go hungry now!

[WILDCHILD]

I was just watching BBLB - how stupid of Federico?
Surely he knew he was breakingthe rules - doh!!

[Amy]

Poor Federico What a wally he was!

[BusyBee]

We'll see how forgiving the housemates are if they start to run short of food next week. They all said they would find it difficult to nominate, he's now given them a reason.

After all needing to get chewing gum - silly boy all he had to do was ask someone to pass it. Its not ROCKET SCIENCE

[Kaz]

It could have been much worse - he could have gone off to show the boys his eviction outfit!

[milly]

it would be nice if he showed them it this friday

[LEE]

HeeHee Milly, that's cruel

[peachy]

Well said Kaz.

He was just showing off to Anouska and hence they'll all feel the pinch next week. He really is so full of himself. I think he deserves to go really, especially after saying the girls couldn't be trusted not to ******* up the task.

I'd rather he went than poor nerdy, hairy shouldered Jon.

[bananarama]

HeeHee Milly, that's cruel

No it's not.

I have to agree with you there

[Mairi]

In a way, it's a shame anyone has to leave after just one week. I'd have prefered it if they'd waited another week. I think it would have been fairer.

A couple of days ago it was a toss up between Anouska and Jon and now Federico has entered the equation I'm completely torn as to who to vote for on Friday!

Help!!

[Amy]

That moment again
