BB9: Day 49 - Housemates Pass Shopping Task

The housemates were in jubilant mood this evening as Big Brother announced the results of this weeks Shopping Task. After two weeks of having to cope with a basic budget of £1 a day, everyone will now have £5 a day to spend.

The Human Clock Challenge required housemates to guess how much time had passed without using a clock or watch.
"Housemates overran the Human Clock Challenge by twelve minutes and five seconds and therefore failed this part of the Shopping Task," said Big Brother.

Then more bad news, "Housemates have failed the Archaeological Dig part of the task and incurred one fail for this weeks shopping task," continued Big Brother.

But there were cheers for Stuart and Maysoon who successfully completed the Clock Building Challenge. "For the next challenge, Housemates had to ensure that the Giant Sand Timer in the Living Room never ran out of sand. Housemates incurred no fails."

It was down to the final task to decide their fate - "Finally, for the duration of the shopping task Housemates from Hell had to deactivate the ringing alarms of alarm clocks in the task room," said Big Brother. "Housemates passed this challenge. Therefore housemates have passed three tasks and incurred two fails. Housemates will receive a Luxury Shopping Budget."

The Housemates erupted with noisy cheers, emotional hugs and lots of bouncing up and down. For once the BB9 house was happy and united.
