Day 41: The Gold Rush task
22 mins ago

A Wild West style showdown woke housemates this morning. The living room was filled with straw bales and the Diary Room and garden decorated with cacti.

It could only mean one thing – task time.

Conor and Sara agreed the House looked amazing while Luke S, understandably cautious after yesterday’s BB stitch up, rearranged his roses. Caroline said it sounded quite fun as Adam moaned, "I hate the wild, wild west."

Big Brother requested the housemate, 'most at home where the buffalo roam', come to the Diary Room. Conor nominated himself, prompting Becky to ask, "Are there buffalos in Ireland?" No Becky, they are not indigenous to the emerald isle.

The two day Gold Rush shopping task will see housemates split into three teams with The Good, The Bad and The Really Ugly housemates going head to head in the search for gold.

Conor’s decision to go to the diary room means he will be sheriff and he picked Caroline as his deputy. This caused her to squeal, a lot and prompted Scott to call her a baby. Harsh? Maybe not.

Conor and Caroline will be calling the shots for two whole days.

The three teams are also playing for immunity from nominations and Big Brother has raised the stakes with Monday’s noms being face to face – nightmare!

Each task will begin with housemates panning for gold. The amount of gold eventually panned will decide whether or not they have passed the shopping task.

There are two parts to the task today – Raw Hide – a shoot ‘em up in the garden and The Hoedown – a country music dance off which will see housemates choreographing routines to a live ukulele band.

Will our cowboys get the blues or will they emerge with a fist full of luxury shopping budget dollars?

Oh Dear Connor and Caroline immune?
