Default Fire the task team.

****ing useless. Are they seriously paying a team of people to think of of different ways to present the same tiered production **** stirring techniques. Tasks use to be the best part of the week for me they were just exiting and fun to watch but now it's just pathetic to see how much the producers want drama.

I miss tasks where the housemates actually had to *do* things, try and achieve a goal, other than just artificially control their emotions or receive/refuse treats

I agree mainly because this task or similar is literally used every series

If they're gonna reuse tasks can they at least reuse one from ages ago that the GP wouldn't remember not the exact same tasks from the series before.

It kinda felt like a C4 task but I agree it seemed easy and the nominations thing kind of ruined it slightly. (I'm sure they swore a lot and wasn't that positive and still passed)

This the asks actually have no substance to them at all. how are the audience suppose to care about whether the pass or not when it's so easy to pass.

They should just rehire Alex Horne as a task designer and get him to reuse stuff from "Taskmaster"

Yeah I like it because of the costume and the house being decorated but other than that how the hell could you even fail that task

The tasks are tragic, I'm not surprised they let us down yet again!

It's annoying how they're reusing the same boring tasks when there were some seriously amazing ones they could revisit from earlier series like the Box Task

I can't remember the last time we had tasks worthy of the show. We haven't had a task team for a long time. Just unemployable people posing as employable people.

Things like the box task were made amazing by the cast. I doubt this one could come close to the hilarity of BB6 housemates.

I mean the tasks themselves haven't been bad, it's just the premise of all of them that annoys me. Pretty much every single one of them has been gunge/fish guts/eat sh*t/what did this housemate say about you/what do you think of this housemate on repeat. So much for 'the game is changing' it's beyond tedious

I miss the days of simple yet effective tasks like the endurance ones (stand on a podium for as long as possible/the box task), the overnight ones where someone always had to be manning something, the sabotage tasks etc etc. They're all so uninventive these days

Yeah I also miss the days when the basic budget was narrated by Marcus as '£1 per head per day' </3
