Default Ocado have replaced Morrisons as Big Brother's shopping partner.
http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/news/1...pping-partner/

According to the article they will be ordering via an iPad... I for one will miss arguments over whether or not someone has added it correctly as these kinds of apps usually add it all up for you.

Well ordering from an iPad is just stupid, not to mention that it completely contradicts the entire theme for this year

"Housemates being able to order their weekly shop with just a few taps on an iPad will highlight the benefits of Ocado’s superior service to more people than ever before."
I am going to miss the moments when cigarettes get cut off the shopping list because the housemates miscalculated and overspent.

This means we won't get any more "Banana-Gate" or "Chocolate-Gate" anymore

Maybe they will do it the normal way... But I can't see them giving them a blackboard and then putting it into their website or app.

Lets hope they don't pick up any unlocked wifi in the area...

Get them a rock and a metal tool, get them to carve their shopping list out

They'll turn on guided access on the iPad which means they wont be able to do anything on the iPad but the shopping list. No secret facetiming home!!

Ah yes, if they are going to use an iPad, I have no doubt it'll be the shopping list and that's that.

But it makes the whole theme redundant when they're using an iPad in the house which is meant to be going back to basics and being about self-sufficiency.

The blackboard is an integral part of BB history! So sad I hope they use the blackboard in the house then the designated housemate will use the iPad in the diary room... OMG though imagine if someone got pissed off though and threw the iPad and it smashed everywhere, hahaha

I hope to God that they aren't using an iPad, that completely defeats the point of the vegetable patch, and the 'cut off from technology' rule.

I agree, unless this person just wants to plug the fact you can use an iPad app or something?

Not long until we find out either way.
