The gorilla task was good but it could have been so much better. The last bit running round the garden for bananas was a big letdown.

I really wanted to see Aaron get thrown in with it, he is awkward enough around people imagine him with a gorilla running at him

The gorilla thing was really poor especially as it wasn't a real gorilla (which BTW I could tell the minute he came out because his fur looked fake).

All the tasks have been way too easy and totally unimaginative, possibly because the housemates have contracts which state they won't do lots and lots of nasty things. Also I bet over zealous health and safety has a lot to do with it.

The producers don't want them to fail the tasks as that will limit the alcohol intake and will produce less showmances to sell in OK magazine.

It would have been great if once they were all tucked up in bed, they released the ape moving around in the dark pulling at their duvets.

TBF if they did lose the luxury budget, there's nothing stopping BB from giving them alcoholic treats.

True. It's just my pet conspiracy theory this year. It's good to have at least one.

My main gripe about the tasks is the way they are edited these days. Crappy music, sped up... I remember a good one in BB5 when they said for the strongest ones to go first and all they had to do was jump over tyres or something. And it it turned out the weakest ones had to do the hardest part of the task which was clinging onto a bar. And there was no silly music or anything. A task like that would be edited horribly now

I was expecting that extra time which they gained will turn against succeeding whole task. This time Big Brother is like a lamb, unfortunately.
