yep another great task, Michelle is going to be well jealous of Shell and Stu being peared up together.

[Amy]

In this week's task housemates will be chained to each other - from now, right through to Wednesday.

The housemates have been divided into pairs based on their weight. Following yesterday's weigh-in, Daniel and Nadia make up the heavyweight duo, Jason and Michelle the middleweights, and Stuart and Shell the lightweights.

One couple will be chained at the ankle, one at the waist and one at the wrists. The housemates will decide amongst themselves who will be joined where.

The pairs must remain chained at all times, apart from during visits to the Diary Room and when they go to the toilet.

The chained companions must sleep together.

In the mornings, they can then unlock themselves, shower and get dressed before putting their shackles back on.

Housemates are not allowed to brush their own teeth, apply their own makeup, moisturisers or sunscreen at any time - their partners must carry out these duties.

And that's not all.

Housemates can only smoke in a designated smoking area in the corner of the garden.

One pair must cook for the other housemates each day. No other housemates may help themselves to any food or drink during that day - they have to request snacks from the couple on kitchen duty.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner must be eaten at the kitchen table. And meal times are further hampered by the fact that they cannot feed or take a drink themselves - they must be fed by their partner.

The spa pool and baths are out of bounds during the task.

And apart from the trials of day-to-day life chained together, the housemates will be given other tasks to complete over the three days.

If they pass, next week's shopping budget will be doubled and they will receive an extra special personal privilege pass.

That's one fail aready, they're feeding on bread.

[Amy]

I think they secretly like failing This should be a fairly easy task for them to pass I would have thought although Jason does not seem happy at all.

[She Devil]

Who will be wearing what shackle does anyone know?

Also I wonder how Michelle is going to cope with Jasons nightly grooming. Also he has to put on Michelles make-up.

[BusyBee]

I love the fact that Stuart is going to be handcuffed to Shell. God Michelle is going to be soooo jealous. Couldnt have worked out better.

I too think they dont seem to care about failing the task. They certainly dont seem to be going without food as has happened in the past when they have practically starved when the task was failed.

[dustmite]

And didn't the laminate say they have to stand at the waiting area...? Is this the second fail?

[Julia L]

Lol, it's good that my two favourite housemates have been handcuffed together I think they'll be the two that'll laugh about it the most

How is Michelle coping with Stu being attached to Shell? Not well, I suppose!

[Amy]

I honestly expected BB to be extremely evil and put Nadia and Jason together!

[dustmite]

Jason's still in the Diary Room? Maybe he is walking...

[Amy]

Still in the diary room he's been in there ages, perhaps this task has pushed him to the limit after all!

Can but only hope.

[She Devil]

Jason would of flipped Amy if that was to happen. I think that would be the thing that puts him over the edge and he would of walked. BB doesn't want that.

He wont be able to use his weights now.

Here's an article on the housemates reactions to the task from the Official Website.........

Chain Reaction

The housemates have received their weekly task and will remain shackled together in pairs until Wednesday.

Daniel has been coupled with Nadia, Jason with Michelle, and Stuart with Shell.

Initial details of the task were met with mixed reactions from the housemates. As Nadia read the laminate issued by Big Brother, Michelle laughed and Jason stared stonily into space.

After reading out the housemates' weights, Nadia informed them of their pairings. Michelle looked glum as she learned that Stuart would be paired with Shell, and Stuart looked uncomfortable.

Shell squealed on learning that successful completion of the task would result in the shopping budget being doubled and a personal privilege pass.

As soon as the chain selection was announced, Nadia told them that one pair had to be attached by their ankles, one by their waists and one by their wrists. Michelle quickly laid claim to the wrist cuffs.

And she had words of warning for Stuart, gently chiding him, "Behave yourself, you," and slapping him playfully on the leg.

While the housemates discussed the task and mused on the "personal privilege pass" on offer if they pass, Jason remained silent.

Once more a housemate was summoned to the Diary Room - and Nadia jumped up again, returning seconds later with the chains.

"Wrists," said Michelle happily, grasping the chains and manacling herself to Jason. Shell and Stuart attached themselves at the waist, and Nadia and Daniel were joined at the ankle.

"I'll have to go for walks with you," joked Michelle to a resolutely surly Jason.

"I just hope there's a lot of leeway in this," he muttered, stressing his need to do press-ups.

"We're gonna be tearing each other's hair out by the end of this task," laughed Daniel.

[She Devil]

Another update this time on Jason from the Official Website........

Back On The Chain Gang

Jason has agreed to participate in the latest task after paying a visit to the Diary Room to inform Big Brother he would not take part.

Clearly not pleased when details of the task were revealed, he went into the Diary Room to tell Big Brother, "There's no way I'm gonna do this task..."

But, despite his insistence that he would not participate, he emerged from the Diary Room saying that he would try to see it through.

"This is gonna be tough for me, man," he grumbled as he joined Michelle and the manacles went back on.

The two wandered into the garden as Jason continued to moan, "You know how much I love my own space."

"I know, I know," soothed Michelle.

"I'll give it a go... you can only give it a go," he conceded grudgingly. But he admitted that he would find it difficult to share a bed.

"All my life, I've always slept by myself," he said.

Could this be the same man that bagged the double bed on his arrival in the House, sprawling himself out on it alluringly in a leopard print thong..?

They passed the Euro 2004 1 and the Glastonbury 1 but im not sure if they got a pass

[Julia L]

So how are Dan and Nadia (lucky Nadia, I'm jealous of her being chained to Dan!) coping with being handcuffed together?

[JC]

I'm hoping he's being nice and sarcastic to her. The cloves incident was hilarious, and now she can't walk away!

[Amy]

So far everyone seems to be getting on ok, even though chained together tonight will be the big test

I was just thinking, Michelle shot herself in the foot requesting the wrist cuffs. If she'd thought about it, she should have forced Stu and Shell to wear them. I've not seen the contraptions, but surely being joined at the waist means you have to be closer to the person you're shackled to as you're joined at the middle of the body?

Thanks!
