THE HOUSEMATES HAVE GOT ISSUES…


For the final weekly task of the series, Big Brother is testing the five remaining housemates on how well they know each other’s opinions.

Over the course of the next three days, Big Brother will call housemates to the Diary Room to give their thoughts and views on a range of moral, political, cultural and humorous issues.

Each housemate will be asked for their opinion on three topics per day. They will have to present a personal viewpoint for a minimum of 10 minutes per subject.

These diary room sessions must remain completely confidential – housemates are forbidden from discussing the subjects and/or their subsequent discussion with Big Brother with any of their fellow housemates once they leave the Diary Room. They may be called at any time of the night or day – these diary room sessions are not optional. Housemates cannot refuse to discuss any of the subjects Big Brother sets.

On Wednesday, housemates will be tested on their ability to judge their housemates’ values and opinions, when Big Brother calls them back into the Diary Room and asks them to attribute a number of quoted viewpoints to the correct housemates.

To pass this task, the housemates must answer 75% of the questions correctly. If a score of 75% or more is achieved, Big Brother will provide the housemates with a themed party on Thursday night – their last night in the house. From a choice of Bollywood, Christmas or Monster Mash themes, the housemates chose Christmas.

So will Christmas come early to the Big Brother house? And, after eight weeks, how well do the housemates really know each other?
