BB9: Day 70 - Housemates Pass Big Brother Games Task

Housemates passed this week's Shopping Task after Michael successfully predicted the outcome of three out of the five Big Brother Games event winners.

Each housemate will have £5 per day to spend on food as part of the Luxury Shopping Budget for passing the task, even with the rain trying to spoil the Games.

BB9: Day 70 - Stu Triumphs In Slowest Race

The final event in the Big Brother Games 2008 was no speedy affair as Lisa, Stuart and Rachel took part in the Slowest Race.They had to complete the circuit in the slowest time possible. As the starter gun sounded started the trio made their way around the track very slowly.

Lisa looked like she going in slow motion, Rachel obeyed Kat's request with a penguin-style waddle and Stuart moved his feet inch by inch.

First past the line was Lisa in three minutes four seconds Rachel finished in at three minutes 34 seconds and Stuart ended his two-step in three minutes 45 seconds.

Big Brother showed the replay of the event was in fast-motion, much to the amusement of the housemates.

BB9: Day 70 - Mo Feather Throwing Champion

Mohamed and Lisa were involved with today's Feather Throwing event. Unknown to the competitors, Mikey tipped Lisa as a winner and if his predictions come true then the housemates will win the Luxury Shopping Budget.

Lisa managed to clear a couple of metres on her first attempt. "All that muscle!" Lisa screamed as she basked in the glory of defying the wind.

Mohamed appeared confused with the art of throwing a feather and the shot-put as he performed a practice throw before his first try. "Oh no!" he screamed as his blue feather seemed to be making a freedom bid for the pool. "As soon as I throw it, the wind blows it away." That old chestnut - the wind.

Lisa did well on her second and third attempt but it wasn't enough to beat Mohamed who managed to beat Lisa with his second throw and win the event.

Mohamed won the event and said he would sell his medal on ebay. Will the housemates win the Shopping Task now Michael's prediction did not come true?

BB9: Day 70 - Rex Wins Island Groin Game

The weirdest game so far in the Big Brother Games 2008 has got to be the "Floating-On-Water-With-A-Small-Tropical-Island-Attached-To-Your-Groin" event. It was a simple event where you need to float in water for as long as possible without submerging a small island secured to your nether regions!

"Oh my God!" giggled Rex as he glanced down on the instructions. "Wanna see my palm tree?" he joked to partner Nicole, as he and Kat stripped to their their bathing suits.

Big Brother sounded the starting gun as they floated in their lanes and they were on their way. "It's impossible!" yelped Rex, trying to keep his palm tree erect and his coconuts dry.

Kat lasted eight seconds before submerging her island, Rex a much more respectable 28 seconds.

"I wanna play with my island more!" he screamed as they watched the slow motion replay of the event. He was the proud owner of a nice big gold chocolate medal soon after, with Michael on hand to congratulate his arch enemy.

BB9: Day 70 - Sara Wins Short Jump

The Big Brother Games 2008 continued with another event - In order to succeed, Sara and Darnell had to run a short distance on the track, take off on the white line and hit the sand in the shortest distance possible.

While in the Diary Room, Mikey predicted that Sara would succeed in jumping the shortest.
Rex raked the sand in between each of the pair's three jumps, demanding complete silence and concentration as he prepared it.

"Do a sexy jump, Sara!" yelped Kat as they sat on the bench, maybe she remembered that kiss in the pool when the Aussie joined the house.

Darnell is not a short jumper. He failed to touch the white line the first time; he managed the second time but cleared the sandpit on his last try. Sara on the other hand, was a pro. She limbered up, practiced between jumping, and cleared all three jumps.

Later Big Brother confirmed that Sara was the winner and Mickey awarded her with a chocolate medal.

BB9: Day 70 - Rachel Wins Egg and Spoon Race

The Big Brother Games 2008 continued this afternoon as Rex and Rachel battled it out during the Egg and Spoon Race.

The two housemates had to complete the event on the tiny circular track in the Big Brother Garden.

"I'm getting dizzy, my head is spinning," sang Rachel, "like a whirlwind, da da da da da da."

Mohamed was singing the Rocky Theme when Rex embarked on his part of the endurance task.
"Oh my god," shouted Rex with a laugh, "I'm so dizzy already, what's going on?"

Sometime later, the siren sounded ending Rex's attempt and Big Brother came over the tannoy with an announcement after showing video footage on the TV screen, "The winner of the Egg and Spoon Event is Rachel."

BB9: Day 69 TASK - Big Brother Games

This weeks Shopping Task was revealed today in the form of a Big Brother Games.

"Big Brother is proud to announce the Big Brother Games 2008," read Nicole. "All housemates must compete as part of this week's shopping task. Head Of House Michael will organise the games and become Head Coach. Today, housemates must create and perform an opening ceremony. Big Brother will provide the Head Of House with a loud hailer."

"Oh no," groaned Rex, "Mikey with a megaphone."

And then Nicole continued reading instructions about the press ups, star jumps, sit ups, circuit training and swimming they would all have to do as part of their training. Including choreographing and performing an opening ceremony today.

Just as the Olympics in China enjoyed heavy down pours yesterday, the Big Brother Games opening ceremony turned into a wet affair. Housemates were dressed in red tracksuits carrying flags, bearing their housemate picture on it, paraded around the garden while music played.

The Big Brother Games 2008 are officially open!
