BIG BROTHER HOUSEMATES FAIL THIRD WEEKLY TASK


Big Brother has announced to the housemates that they have failed their third weekly task. This means they have still not passed any task since they entered the house.

This week, Big Brother set the housemates a ‘Handbell’ weekly task. The housemates decided to bet 65% of their total weekly shopping budget on successfully completing the task so, having failed, they will have just £32.55 between nine people to spend on supplies for next week. This is equivalent to £3.60 per person for the whole week. Their shopping will be delivered on Sunday.

In this week’s task the housemates had to work together to memorise a mystery piece of music, using handbells with no clappers. Today they had two opportunities to perform the music - which was revealed to be ‘An English Country Garden’ - with a set of complete handbells, but failed both times during the allocated ten minute period. They would have passed if they’d completed the tune perfectly, at least once, with all 94 numbers in the right order from start to finish. They failed on both attempts. The housemates all took the news well and joked amongst themselves.

On hearing the announcement that they’d failed the task, the housemates were told they will be rewarded if they correctly named the tune they had been practicing over the past few days. After naming the tune correctly, they were told they will receive a Chinese takeaway and other refreshments this evening.

This is how the housemates failed this week’s task:

FIRST ATTEMPT

· They completed 55 notes when STEPH played her bell instead of SCOTT.

· There were 39 notes remaining.

· They continued and the final nail in the coffin was when JON played totally the wrong note.

· The Housemates then gave up.


SECOND ATTEMPT

· They completed 34 notes when JON forgot to play his note. This threw them all and GOS even had to cue JON for him to remember.

· NUSH then played her bell instead of STEPH.

· Then TANIA played the wrong bell.
