The children is the first thing I thought of.

Would they find the task such a laugh if they had to build cages and keep the kids from running out.

Absolutely.

Having the 'runners' wear masks of famous faces such as Trump and the queen was a good save on the producers' behalf. ****ing imagine if they had mexicans.. BB would be over lol

Handing over the "Presidency" to Kirstie on the first night was just disrespectful... The biggest problem with C5's BB has been the blatant manipulation and interference by the production team... IMO not a very good way to start a series that had been hyped as a return to good form...

In what way?

So far she's chosen a couple of housemates to wear costumes, someone to have a cold shower, someone to drink liquidised veg etc. It's really not that serious.

Even though some of it was slightly amusing , i still put awful as i'm fed up of political themes . Are BB running out of ideas .

And the whole emphasis on the wall & Trump is boring aswell .

It is from this POV (boring), because Trump and politics is all that people seem to want to talk about in the media anymore. Still, it's an easy way to cause in-house tensions... it may have made more sense if Stormy were still in, but then again, it may have become even more contrived than this...

I did find Kirstie's commentary about "group behavior" a bit comical considering she's a gold card carrying member of a major cult though...

So I haven't proper watched a CBB since like 2015 or so, but I decided to skim through today's episode to see what all the Natalie buzz was about even though I only have room for one Bad Girl in my heart and it's Tanisha.

Then I saw BB have the HMs build a wall and then put people in weird Trump/Hillary bigheads or something and THEN have HMs assigned as border patrol agents and I was disgusted and closed out of that tab. I'm fully okay with this show being cancelled tbh!

[Jodie.]

I think it’s a good TASK which reminds me of a TASK from the C4 days - but it’s just a TASK!

Stop getting so triggered over a gameshow girls, if you don’t like it then build a wall around yourself so you get stuck and we don’t have to hear you MOANING! Xx

[Jodie.]

Jezuz Krist it’s only abit of Lego! X

[Greg!]

I think some people are missing the point of the task lmao. It's taking the piss out of Trump, not celebrating him

Yeah but it's over done and it's milked to death all over the media!! .

Can't they think of a better theme , something more fun and interesting. Even IAC is mirroring BB and their political themes aswell

. I find it incredible that people find it tasteless, no wonder BB is going to be axed, when viewers celebrate people walking around in swimwear pretending to fancy each other but are uncomfortable with political parody. the tasks are meant to psychologically test the housemates folks if you want them to just hear tweets you really don’t want the show to go back to basics, it’s obvious this task was designed for Stormy, bit difficult to pull something else out of the bag when she bailed at the 11th hour

[Macie Lightfoot]

If the show wasn't about to get axed I'm sure next summer we'd get CBB All-Stars and the first Shopping Task would be to have the HMs reenact Song of the South, with Denise Welch donning blackface to play Uncle Remus and Tiffany Pollard playing Bre'r Rabbit. It would be the perfect lead-in to yet another C5 docu-series about how people on benefits are the scum of the earth.

...yeah I am feeling the same, Macie...I’m feeding into it all by watching it, it’s that thing of still finding housemate dynamics fascinating and learning about people’s lives you know...but that’s no excuse really...I try to resist and somehow I’m drawn in because of people’s stories...

[Eddie.]

It's OKAY, though it really was made to fit Stormy...

Plus too much serious talk can get boring, refer to CBB21...

[chuff me dizzy]

I hope its soon over, I hate when hm8s are separated

[Crimson Dynamo]

good and it allowed that vile natalie to show her true colours rather have to wait a week like normally we have to

[Scream]

we don't really know what it could have been had Stormy entered but I think they are definitely going in the right direction. It's a breath of fresh air from the "today Big Brother set a task, however this was not the real task" kinda thing we had every single day for the last few series.

Has this one been an all night thing? No?

[smudgie]

I like the task, in as much as it is a refreshing change to the crap we have had over the past few years.
As to the politics of it all, it's a pi$$ take so I am happy about it.

[Rob!]

I honestly don’t know why people are getting so offended by it. It’s a reality game show that has been quite well known over the years to throw in satire in the tasks. That’s all this is, political satire. It might not be the most subtle the show has ever done but I have no idea why people are in such uproar about it.

[ginkgo]

so far not a fan but dont dislike it, all depends where it leads

It’s not like a major incident or anything but I had an argument with one guy on Facebook accusing the show of “political propaganda.” Yes, these people actually exist.

State of Susie was political satire. This is just a tasteless and kinda gross border patrol agent cosplay.
