Celebrity Big Brother’s press team have just announced that the housemates are to be set a mini-task that will see them LARPIng, which is live action role playing…

For the task, the housemates are to be split into two teams and all of them will be required to plunge themselves into the world of live action role play as they’ll be told they’re going to form two armies who must “face each other in challenges to gain advantages in the final epic
battle – The Joust – and therefore win the war.”



Here’s everything you need to know about the task from Channel 5…

HOW IT WORKS

The Housemates are split in two armies – the evil and odorous Ninnyhammers versus the noble Knights. Big Brother announces that LIONEL will become the captain of the Knights and DAPPY will become the captain of the Ninnyhammers. As captains, they will take it in
turns to choose their teams. As there is an odd number of Housemates, one team will have 6 players and one team will have 5.
Teams must compete against each other in the first two hits to win lifelines for the last decisive contest, The Joust. The team that wins The Joust will win the war and only they will have the right to nominate.

TASKS

There are two head to heads and the final joust – winning a head to head wins a lifeline in the final joust.

Defeating the Beast of Big Brother

For the first challenge, two warriors come face to face with an evil mythical beast from the realm. The two Housemates await the beast, each Housemate wearing a tail of sausages. The beast is then revealed to be a very cute, excitable dog dressed as a lion. The two Housemates
must avoid getting caught by the foul beast and have the sausages stripped off their belt. The first Housemate to lose a sausage will be the loser.

The Potion of Power

Two small teams from each side will compete to make a magical potion with the greatest result. They must compete at the same time to create the highest spurt of foam – the winner gets a lifeline in the final joust.

The Final Joust

A Housemate from each team must partake in the final battle – The Joust…

A wall separates the two battling Housemates, standing on identical stumps. One at a time, they must choose a plinth to stand on and then push a jousting pole through the wall with the aim to strike the other Housemate and push him off his stump, whilst also dodging any jousts being pushed in their direction.
The Joust runs like battleships, in that BB asks HMs to take their positions and then push their jousting poles. The lifelines gained in the previous battles provide chances for HMs to be pushed off their stump but get back on and play again. The game is over when one HM has used up all their life lines.

The team that wins The Joust will win the right to nominate. The losing team will not get the chance to nominate.

The Feast

Winners of the challenge will be rewarded with a medieval banquet which will be set on the Dining Room table

New Celebrity Big Brother 2014 nominations twist!

There’s another Celebrity Big Brother 2014 nominations twist on its way today.

Following on from last week’s fake eviction and subsequent first real eviction twist, today the group will nominate for a second time.

But not all of them will get the chance to rant at Big Brother about their housemates…

Right now, the celebrity contestants are split into two teams in a new task that will see them plunge into the world of LARPing (Live Action Role Play).

The two armies must face each other in challenges to gain advantages in the final epic battle – The Joust – and therefore win the war.

Winners of the challenge will be rewarded with a medieval banquet which will be set on the Dining Room table.

However, there’s also an extra prize: The team that wins The Joust will win the right to nominate. The losing team will not get the chance to nominate.

Lionel Blair leaders the team of Knights, made up of Casey Batchelor, Ollie Locke, Luisa Zissman, Linda Nolan, Liz Jones

Meanwhile, Dappy takes charge of the Ninnyhammers: Lee Ryan, Jim Davidson, Sam Faiers and Jasmine Waltz.

Whats your views?

This is interesting, excited to see the teams and who ends up being able to nominate!

[Kate!]

Not impressed. Everyone should be eligible for nomination

Just another sneaky way for BB to manipulate the outcome IMO

[Brother Leon]

Lionel's team has most of the pointless HMs bar Sam. They will probably win though

[Z]

Big Brother's really dicing with the teams here, I reckon we're gonna lose a big housemate either way now

[Jemal]

They picked the teams tho loool

It'll be open season if the Ninnyhammer lose... no idea who'll go

[erinp5]

4.06pm: Lee and Casey are facing each other in a medieval joust. Their relationship's been leading to this for a while.

[Z]

Yeah but I'd have thought Big Brother would pick the teams so they don't have so many interesting housemates on the same team and risk losing one of them so early on

From the way that's worded it looks like the team that nominates can nominate people on their own team if they want.

Tbh cant they just stop with all these twists?
I might be in the minority but i prefer a big brother that only has one or twoo massive twists in the series which is what i like.

All these frequent twists that happen every week just take away from the real format.
I dont think we have had a nomination/eviction process that has been done without any twists since the beginning of the civilian bb.

All of the twists just take away from the real big brother.
It gettng annoying tbh.

The Knights ftw

[Twitter Robot]

Josy has posted a new TiBB frontpage article.

This article may contain spoilers.



For today's task, the housemates are going to get Medieval on us, and join the fantastical world of Live Action Roleplaying (or LARPing).

They'll be split into two armies:

Lionel's noble Knights:

Lionel
Casey
Ollie
Luisa
Linda
Liz

Dappy's evil Ninnyhammers:

Dappy
Lee
Jim
Sam
Jasmine

They'll be dressed up in all manner of fantasy finery and pitted against each

It's pathetic how BB keep manipulating votes,it takes the fun away from proper nominations,they are not enhancing the show they are spoiling it.How come one team has more members?

[MrWong]

4.06pm: Lee and Casey are facing each other in a medieval joust. Their relationship's been leading to this for a while... #bbuklive

4.17pm: Jim has taken to football chanting. It isn't annoying at all. Not at all. #bbuklive

4.25pm: Casey: "You've gone in a bit hard there, Lee." Excellent, it's Carry On Jousting! #bbuklive

Did Dappy's team win?

[MarcusMel]

It’s very funny. Also it could help in keeping the most annoying HM's in for entertainment.

Congrats to BB for turning jousting into a safe sport! Really admire the imagination put into this task.

[Loukas]

Team Lionel ftw
