Following Davina's indications of the live task today, Big Brother has delivered the first part of the task... a large children's style party food collection. This party consists of lots of sugary food... which all of the housemates have taken to eating with much joy.

Big Brother has decided to tell them that it is a party and there is no catch at all... oh how little do they know

Now, I think it's time we start looking forward to the bit with the roundabout... especially now that paranoia begins, particularly with Victor's decleration of 'I feel mega paranoid now'.

[Dan_]

I wonder what the task is all about? It could be something to do with not being sick. Im would be paranoid and all plus only eat some of it.

At present the housemates are preparing for the challenge by putting on the protective clothing, once they have done this, they are to remain in the bedroom until further notice.

Clothing so far consists of helmets, wrist pads, knee pads and elbow pads. Housemates are recommended to wear trainers for the task.

[dustmite]

The housemates stand looking slightly confused as they are instructed by Big Brother to go into the garden, where they must not touch any of the equipment.

The 'roundabout' appears to be in the centre of the garden and is covered.

Housemates are currently being informed that the prize fund can decrease if they fail the task.

The first part of the challenge involves markers placed within the garden, numbered from 1 to 11. Housemates must now rate themselves from 1 to 11 on the basis of their intelligence. With 1 being the most intelligent.

Stuart placed himself as the most intelligent, and was then instructed to go the bench. One of the remaining housemates was instructed to read the second envelope of instructions.

For this part, they are to rate themselves in terms of personal strength.

Jason was ranked as the most strong housemate, and then made to go to the bench alongside Stuart.

[dustmite]

Envelope three instructs them to remove the cover from the roundabout, all of the remaining 9 housemates have to sit upon the roundabout.

The strongest housemate is now to rotate the roundabout at a constant 15RPM.

The most intelligent then must go to the diary room and answer 9 questions. For each question answered correctly, one person is allowed to dismount the roundabout and one thousand pounds is kept in the prize fund. The final question is worth two thousand pounds.

For each question answered incorrectly, money is lost and no housemate is allowed to dismount the roundabout.

They are indeed. I'm waiting for someone to insult her.

The live feed is very funny at the moment, a number of housemates, *cough* shell *cough*, are curled up in pain groaning... I guess they reap what they sow... or in this case, throw up the sugar they eat.

[ribbonstring5145]

ughh seeing marco throw up was DISGUSTING. just looking at them all made me feel sick

[dustmite]

Big Brother has just informed housemates that due to Ahmed not being on the roundabout at the start of the task, that they have been fined Ł1,000.

The prize fund now stands at Ł85,000

If prisoners of war in Iraq were treated in such a way, there would be an additional outcry to the abuses already done out there

This kind of treatment would be banned under the Geneva convention.

Is it right to deliberately make someone ill, for entertainment purposes.

Am I the only one here that questions this? Why do people like to inflict suffering?

C4/Endemol seem to care very little what lines they leap over in order to chase ratings
