It's shopping task time. This one, Big Spenders, breaks down like so....
Housemates will be given a £1,000 shopping budget if they are able to spend the same sum. Each housemate will be given a personal cheque book which they can use to buy items. Their cheques are deposited in a giant piggy bank. The total amount spent by housemates during the task will equate to the amount they have to spend on their shopping, with the upper limit being £1,000.
The opportunities to splash the cash will fall during:
Breakfast
Housemates will begin the task by buying their breakfast.
Big Brother's Clothing Emporium
Big Brother will call one housemate to the Diary Room and offer them the chance to buy a colourful zentai suit. Once they have purchased it, they'll be offered another, and another and another. The housemate must wear all suits purchased.
Big Brother's Fun Fare
All housemates will be offered a chance to spend their pocket money in Big Brother's Fun Fare. All the items at the fair have a price attached to them. They can pay to use a child's coin-operated ride, a coin pusher machine, and a spinning waltzer ride. There is also a stall to pay to 'pie' a celebrity.
Trash for Cash
One housemate will be offered a brief stay at Big Brother's Boutique Hotel. They are told that they will have to pay for any damage caused to their suite. The housemate will have 3 minutes to trash the room as vigorously as possible.
Pedalo
Two housemates will be offered the chance to pay to spend an hour in a swan pedalo.
On Your Head
This task will test the celebrities' knowledge of the price of everyday items. In the Diary Room, Big Brother will ask them how much various items cost. If they guess correctly, they will spend the money. However, if they guess incorrectly the item will be dropped on their head instead.
Shot Till You Drop
Up to six housemates are invited into an exclusive VIP area. Once there, they are offered the opportunity to buy rounds of shots, including Risky Sours, Bloody Scary and Sam-puker. However if they buy a round but fail to all finish a round of drinks, they will be reimbursed.
And that's your lot! Today is now set to be a very silly, very expensive day. We shall keep you posted as the task plays out. For once, it is all about the money, money, money...
