Any task ideas?

Here's my dumb idea...

The World Task

Each housemate is called to the DR throughout the day. They are given countries. Basically what they need to do is "live the life of" a member of a certain country. This could be seen as "offensive", I bet though.

So, for example, a Hm is told he'd live like a "French" person. These won't be too stereotypical, but the HMs will be told to do specific tasks. In front of the other HMs, they need to just "act slightly" and not ham it up to make it as discreet as possible, but behind the others, they live the life of a real "French" person, or "Italian" whatever the country is. For example, if the person is told to act Italian, they'd be taken to the Other house (this is where that house will still be used) and be force fed Olives, dance alone to Italian music, have Big Brother speak to them in Italian (with no translation, so the HMs will be confused as to what they are saying).

But as I said, in front of the HMs, they are told to be quite lowkey because each HMs is told individually, "if you keep this secret and no one finds out the Nationality, you will win the whole task". So, HMs will all individually think they hold responsibility in winning.

When for real, only 1 PERSON will be aware of every single nationality and who is acting each part. That persons task is to convince at least 1 person that a HM is another Nationality. That's the only way they pass.

Does that confuse people? I'm just laughing at the good potential moments of HMs being spoken to in a different language. Also, the nationalities won't be an "obvious" one. French Italian i think it too easy. Half will be quite easy, others will be stuff like Serbia, Romania, Turkey, Fiji, Qatar etc...

Also, I know it's been done but I'd love to see another World Record Task (BB2)

Someone on DS' idea...

Whack a mole
A giant game of whack a mole is set up on the ground. On team has to sit in the tunnels as the moles the other has to stand around with giant inflatable hammers as the whackers(). It's completely up to the moles when they want to jump out and how many whackers what to stand around. Although the the whacking housemates have to stay round the edges and when the moles do jump out they have to jump out they have to stay up for a certain amount of time to make it fair.

I was with you until you started saying the "they have to keep it secret" or whatever nonsense, just make it an actual shopping task with no bloody "hidden task" element

Something similar but a dictatorship task where one HM is given the role of dictator (either by the public or by other HMs), gets to wear a fancy general's outfit, gets to overrule a nominee... they have to assign other housemates labour tasks (think the BB6 Big Brother one with sorting out colours of maggots), create and perform a new national anthem, and have to do military marches around the house any time Big Brother plays some fanfare (I know this has been done a lot but it's an easy way to piss them off)

So it'd be split into various parts that all have to be passed (or only "3 fails" like Laura doesn't take part in the anthem or w/e):
- The national anthem performance
- The labour work
- The marches.

--------------------------------

Another idea: a TV station task. I'm not sure if this has been done but has probably had some elements of it done before. Housemates are split into groups that have to work on a separate TV show together.
- One has to produce a chat show. With one or two HMs as the presenters, and some special guests enter the house to be interviewed (knowing C5 these would be ex partners but I'm all up for them being total oddballs like the country's oldest morris dancer or whatever). Has to last half an hour and one of the housemates has to be talking at all times (or incur a fail).
- One has to produce a kids show. Three or four housemates are given costumes/makeup to teach the viewers basic numeracy and literacy, but also keep on happy facades. Think the Drag Race s5 challenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqi50U04lBo . Could make this program longer to drive them crazy I guess with the happy-happy-house vibe. Perhaps give Georgina a role
- One has to produce a cooking programme. If it were possible then to devise some kind of malfunctioning kitchen task room would be great (sort of like the McDonalds advert recently with the guy on the speed bumps) - two or more housemates have to follow a recipe from scratch whilst talking to the camera and acting professional, but are plagued by problems like fans blowing flour everywhere. DO NOT BLOODY FEATURE I'M A CELEB-STYLE 'GROSS FOOD' CHALLENGE ELEMENT.
- And the fourth group have to act out a couple of soap opera scenes that they can create themselves. I trust them to have some natural comedy

housemates get split into two teams (for each weeks task) at random,then the winning team of that task has to decide collectively to save half of the losing team to be safe, then the one's out of the losing team that haven't been chosen, they take part in a mini game & the winner of that gets to swap themselves with someone from the winning team

Whack a mole is a simple but brilliant idea which would be far more entertaining than yet another "guess who the viewers hate" task. Run it for at least 24 hours (although 2-3 days would be better so there is more than one overnight shift) with two HMs having to be alert at all times and it could provide more than just task footage.

Could add a twist of bonus moles which if knocked out win the HM a prize, and punishment moles which if missed earns them a punishment.
