Celeb BB PICTURES: Trolley Derby





Day 15 and part two of the Shop Till You Drop Task - Jedward, Kerry and Bobby went through to the Alley Rumble. The Rumble will put the four housemates in two teams which will compete against each other. Within each team, one housemate must sit in a shopping trolley, and the other must stand behind it. Jedward must make a team, so the competition will pit the twins against Kerry and Bobby.

The housemate who is pushing each trolley must push it into a group of ‘BB noodles’. The objective is to get as many of the ‘noodles’ into a pyramid as possible. The winner will be the team that gets the most noodles into the pyramid.

The winning team will bag themselves the chance to choose the shopping for the rest of the housemates - tune into Channel 5 tonight at 9pm to find out what happened.

BB11: Corin Explodes Over Sam's Smoking Comments

Day 59: Corin has finally lost her temper after Sam Pepper made comments about smokers using the tokens during this weeks Dickens Task.

As reported on DigitalSpy, Corin has become Scrooge from A Christmas Carol for her task and must ensure housemates pay for access to the bathroom, kitchen and smoking area with tokens.

Last night, Sam pointed out that the smokers had used 17 tokens between them whereas the non-smokers had used just three. "We've used three for people to wash – three tokens for 11 people! All those people going dirty, smelly little runts," he said.

"Yeah and they're just pissing the smoking tokens like they're going out of fashion," laughed John James. "She (Corin) doesn't care. She's Scrooge. She can give 'em out. Scrooge don't give shit all out!"

After several heated discussions, Corin and Sam ended up shouting at each other face-to-face in the living room.

"Making an issue when there's not an issue. There's only you that's got an issue," said Corin.

"There will be an issue when we don't get our £50," Sam replied.

"Do you know what's it gotta do with you? It's my task it's got fuck all to do with you?" yelled Corin.

Sam then accused Corin of not being a team player.

"We don't need you to come in here shouting at us telling us we're not team players because we know as a team no-one is gonna go over what they're supposed to," she said.

Later on, Corin told Josie that she was annoyed that she lost her cool during her argument with Sam.

"He's looking for a bit of airtime love," Josie told her. "That's exactly what he wants. Don't let him get to you."

BB11: Dickens' Shopping Task


Day 57: This week's Shopping Task was revealed by Big Brother and housemates will be entering a colourful Dickensian world as they pay homage to some of the novelist's famous characters over the next three days. For each of the six challenges they successfully pass, they will receive £50 towards next week's shopping task.

From Dickens' classic Oliver Twist the details are as follows:

Oliver: Andrew
Artful Dodger: JJ
Nancy: Josie
Bill Sykes: Steve
Mr Bumble: Dave

Fagin's Gang (Andrew, JJ, Josie, Jo and Sam) will learn a song and dance routine for 'Consider Yourself' from the musical Oliver! and will have to perform this evening. Check out the video on the website tonight!

For Bill Sykes' Bullseye, Steve will become the thief Bill Sykes and whenever he hears the theme music from the TV show Bullseye he must go to the Dartboard in the Dickensian Saloon and throw darts until he scores a bullseye!

Mr Bumble (Dave) will become the Parish Beadle in charge of the workhouse. He will be making gruel three times a day for his housemates.

From Dicken's novel Great Expectations:

John James and Rachel will both become Miss Havishams - the old woman who was spurned on her wedding day and has given up on life. They will take part in an endurance wedding dress sit-in for 24 hours in the task room!

From Dickens' A Christmas Carol:

Corin will become Scrooge for the duration of the task and will control the House purse strings - housemates must pay for access to the Bathroom, Kitchen and Smoking Area!

From David Copperfield:

Mario will become David Copperfield. However, there's been some kind of mix up...rather than Dickens' character, he will become American stage magician and illusionist David Copperfield! He will learn and perform a Las Vegas style levitation illusion.
